We Have a Taker!

So my sister, Erin, and I went to Los Angeles, California this weekend to go to the Talyor Swift Fearless concert. No, we're not crazy addicted fans, but I won the trip from KBULL 93 back in November. So basically we had fabulous seats right in from of the stage. And I came out with some pretty good pictures! I'm pretty amazed. And I am happy to say we got Kelli Pickler's attention and feel as though we made her night. She seemed unhappy and not pleased to be there until we, uh, did something to make her smile. It was great. Anyway, I feel like I should be doing some homework, seeing as to how the semester is basically over and I have a lot of projects and such to do.

T-Swizzle. I'm working?

I really enjoy time off. Like, I mean I LOVE it. Therefore, I am currently having a hard time figuring out why I decided to get a new job. Another job. Now I have two jobs with school shoved in between them. It sounded like a good idea at the time, more money=fabulous. However, now I am stressing out about my current schedule because I have no time to complete things for school... things called practicums. I am supposed to go with my team this morning to an elementary school to observe a child, but I can't go because I have t work until our class starts. And I have school and work and work tomorrow too... and every other day that exists, except for the weekends... but those don't count because I can't go observe then! Anyway, that was a lot of complaining, but I felt like I had to get it out. Fall semester is going to be hard...

On the other hand, something to look forward to and be excited about...
I am headed to LA on Friday to see Taylor Swift in concert! I'm pretty excited about it. But at the same time, it's not that big of a deal... considering I went to this same concert last year. And no, I'm not a psycho stalker... I won tickets off the radio. Pretty sweet. I like winning things. Although it was surprising because I never, I repeat: I NEVER win things.
But anyway, I guess I should get back to working now... maybe go check the mail or something. I'll have an update later next week about the concert. Maybe stars will align and I'll meet T-Swift herself. HAHA. Yeah, right!

Welcome, new follower

Hello friends. I am here today to update my blog; not a usual occurrence. I noticed I have a new follower, so welcome. And thank you for joining us. I can promise you this will be a wonderful and worthwhile journey. Okay, can the promises. I have no idea how you'll like it over here.
Anyway, I am now the proud owner of a new job. Starting April first, I am officially the new office assistant in the Biology Department at the University of Utah. Pretty exciting, I know. I might finally be able to make enough money to take my wonderful boyfriend out for a nice dinner at the local Arby's dollar menu. What a treat!
Something else to be excited for... I leave tomorrow at noon to have a hopefully sun-filled weekend in St. George. I hope for a lot of hiking, biking, and exploring. No lazy days sitting around in a crowded condo. I think I might go crazy. And hopefully no In and Out Burger. Or is it In-"N"-Out? Who knows. But their food is disgusting and all of you Utah folks that claim it is the best thing ever, well, you don't fool me, foolers. You only say that because, until recently, there were no innnnnout's here. So there. Take That.
What other news do I have to share? Oh yes. Oh dear me oh my yes. Today at 3:30, I will be at the U taking my Praxis test. Scary stupid test that is costing me $135... and I have to get a certain score to be able to apply to the College of Education at the U. Oh, I mean the Urban Institute for Teacher Education. I think that is what they changed it to.
Well, wish me luck. I'm off to eat and shower.

Chai Tea on Fridays

I love Fridays.
Waking up naturally to no alarm. No school. Just a morning run, a long and hot shower, and updating my blog while drinking some hot chai. Can life get any better?
Yes, most likely it could. But I'm still enjoying this.
I'm trying to come up with an idea of what I can do with Jonathan today. It's a beautiful looking day outside, although I'm sure it's not as warm as it looks. How deceiving. I wish I could just move away to California or... well. Let's see. Arizona gets too hot. Florida can end up washed away in a Tsunami. Nevada is. Well, it's Nevada. So I guess California it is folks. That's where you'll find me in probably 5 years. Unless they've already earthquaked into the ocean by that point in time.
Well anyway, I really don't have much else to say at the moment. One more week of school until spring break. Ahhh, i can hear the silent alarm clock now. Even though that doesn't make sense.

Blogger's Delight

I was watching one of my favorite T.V. shows, House, last night and the person who was sick and dying was an avid blogger. She shared every aspect of her life with her blog followers. And I mean everything. What she was doing, eating, when she argued with her husband. She even asked her followers about what decision she should make when it came to which heart valve replacement she should choose. So basically, I was thinking, wow. Are people really like that?! I have a hard time even remembering to update my blog... and I usually have nothing worthwhile to share.

Well, today is my cousin Stephanie's 21st birthday. So, Happy Birthday Stephanie Marie!

On another note, my upper back/shoulder muscles hurt super bad. Must be from yoga class yesterday? My body isn't used to that kind of activity! And speaking of activity... I have decided to DO. I have yoga twice a week, I run a mile 3-4 times a week, I eat a lot of fruit, I get at least 8 hours of sleep a night, and all I ever drink is water (unless I am at an event or feeling like I need a chai). New Years resolution you ask? Nah, it's March now. It's my March month welcoming spring resolution. Yay, let's just hope it sticks, right?!

I have attachment problems

Well, first of all I can safely say that I think I love my dog, Kaia, too much. I have separation anxiety sometimes when I leave her. I Like when Jeff, Desi, Michael, and I went to Las Vegas for a couple of days. Yeah... I was basically dying. So sad to leave her behind. And when I have to leave her to go to school or work for 6-8 hours, yeah that is sad too. Erin says that when I leave, Kaia runs as fast as she can to my bedroom and watches me leave through the window. Then, she goes back to the front door and sits and whines for quite a while.
Good to know I'm not the only one with attachment issues...
But. The source if this message originally was my thinking about my xterra. Jeff and I traded cars last night, and although I'm doing fine, I do miss my car a bit. You'd think I'd be happy to be driving a Mercedes that is 5 or 6 years newer than my old shaky xterr, but guess what? I'm not that into it. I mean, sure. It's great. Fast. Beautiful. Most conservative in the gas category. It's just hard to give up my monster. I feel like I'm driving around on a skateboard...
But! It's okay. I will overcome my abnormal car attachment and make it through the... week? Month? Whenever it is she will come back to me...

Life and Death

Sometimes, well most of the time, when I'm at Jeff's house his mom is watching Ghost Whisperer. However, tonight I am at home watching it with Kaia Bear. The first couple of times I saw it I thought it was a pretty dumb show. It's pretty interesting to me now though! Which brings me to uhm..."blogging" about it. Sometimes, it almost makes me cry. There are some touching moments in there I would say. But sometimes, it really freaks me out! Is this crazy stuff true?! Like those people that claim to be psychic?? I think I would literally pee myself if a ghost came whispering to me! Which brings me to my freaky used to be haunted house. Every time when I get up in the middle of the night and go in the bathroom, I get really scared and I stare out into the hall (Yes, I leave the door open and the light off). It's especially scary because I have SUPER bad eye sight so all the shadows really freak me out. I almost run back to bed every time.
Well, I should get back to my homework. I just needed a break to talk about Ghost Whisperer :)
