Hmm...

My exciting news might take a few more days. :\

But it looks good!

10 More Minutes!

...In 10 min. I may have some exciting news....or not.

It’s a Sun Shining Day!

I have SO MUCH JOY! I am just so blessed, and grateful for everything. I finally am done with a couple of tough classes, and only have a couple art studios to finish up the summer. I can finally take a breath! It’s always about this time that I get really restless, too. I’ve got to go on an adventure! Luckily there is some white water rafting next month to tide me over until August…possibly. This is more of what I'm craving, though:

But alas, I'm here in Ohio and I just got off work at the greatest job. I don’t know how things worked out where I would have the perfect job for me at this time in my life, but I sure am blessed having it. I’ve been at the ranch for over two years, and learn something new almost everyday. Take today for example. I learned how to clean a gelding’s sheath. For those who don’t know what that is…you probably don’t want to know. I told my boss while cleaning “it” I could totally mark this off my bucket list. She laughed, but I know she had to be wondering “do you think she really had this on her bucket list?...because that would be way nasty". But, no. No, it was not on my bucket list. Should’ve been, though.

Library Tales

So, I’m sitting here in the library and I can’t help but be flabbergasted in the fact that there are approximately ten people trying to figure out if “inasmuch” is a word, because not one of them have ever heard it…we are in college. This is scary.

But then again, I can’t even wear my shirt right-side out after 21 years of wearing clothes…Well, better make that 15 years for me...

BTW

After receiving several complements on my outfit today at church, I realized while in the restroom why I couldn’t stick my hands in the front pocket of my shirt…My shirt was indeed inside out…that is all.

Sorrowful News

Well, I have little to report other than next week is finals for the 1st five weeks, and the cops were called last night! There were some people over, and one brought a dead bird he found. Well, one of my roommates wasn’t entertained when he took it upstairs to show her. About 15 or 20min later a cop pulls up and asks “so, is everything ok? Was someone screaming ‘get off me’, or were you guys just horse playing around? Someone called about someone screaming to get off…” I was like “no, I don’t think so. We are all ok in here…” it had been so long I didn’t even remember. Then when I walked in the living room I was reminded…oh goodness!

Oh! And speaking of dead animals, the other day I was driving home when I noticed a cute little tortoise crossing the road. I quickly slowed (how’s that for an oxymoron?) to a stop to wait for him to pass, when I noticed a car coming up on my tail. I didn’t know what to do because it was a busy highway, and if I didn’t start to accelerate there might be some bad news. So, I figure this little guy had to be midway of my car by now where I can go right over him. I start to inch forward, then SLWERACKPLU (my made-up onomatopoeia attempt). Never have I been so remorseful for road kill. All these images of happy harmless turtles ran through my mind. I will never be the same.

I LOVE THE GREEN STUFF!!!...and red, and yellow, and pink, and purple, and orange...

.

So, my mom sent me an article to help out on my paper, and I am trying to live it! It's only been a few days and I am already feeling amazing. My mind is clearer (or would it be 'more clear'?)and my body is happier. It took a change of heart though to realize that council should be applied. And picking and choosing what suites our fancy(even in the little things...like food for me) only leaves us unhappy and without enrichment from the blessings we can receive. http://www.ldsmag.com/healthyoutlook/080605fat.html

If I can do it, so can you!

(Now, send me a dollar if you feel inspired, too)

....I'm only kidding about the money....I think....

"OUT ON THE ISLAND"...Oh, How I Wish

Well, everyone is out on the island without me again this year. This would be the year I would LOVE to go! And I would be out there in a heartbeat. Blasted school!!! I miss it so much. Who knows, maybe next year…at least to visit:) Lets remember the good times on the island, shall we?...

While I'm Supposed to be Presenting on "Fighting Cancer Through the Study of Sarcomas"

Yeah, I’m supposed to be in class right now. My reason for not going?...It’s raining. I know what you’re thinking, and I honestly don’t know how I made it this long in school either.

Today I eat a HUGE candy bar worth almost half of my daily allowance…in about 10min. I’m such a heath freak, and yet I go on sugar rampages. Not anymore! From this point on I am never eating junk food again!...except on holidays…and birthdays…when a kind person offers, because then I would just be rude otherwise. That’s right folks! No more tons of junk…just little bits of junk on occasion. I’m already working out again after a gross semester of fast-food and desk sitting. I’m getting back in shape! By August I’m going to be the beach bum I love to be, but with a little more tone in that Tan and Tone…and maybe less Tan…But I’m going to be HOT!
