The Day Dawn is Breaking

OK... so sorry about yesterday. It was a bad morning. The day got better though. So, I'm done swearing (for the time being).

Today is already turning out to be a great day. This morning I woke up at 5am and went running. It was pretty amazing. I've never been so happy to be running. I was reminded of getting up at 5:30am in Mauritius to go running with Vial. I was never too happy about it when we got started but the sprint home and the gorgeous sun rises always made it worth it. This morning was no different. The sunrise was amazing. I had to stop in the middle of the road and just stare and thank Heavenly Father for it. And I was in such a good mood that I wasn't even that upset about having to take a cold shower... yeah, I have NO idea why there was no hot water.

But, the thing about getting up at 5am is that by 8am (the time I usually get out of bed) I'm already ready for a nap.

Also... I hate being cold. My office is freezing today. And, I'm sure the cold shower didn't help.

shit damn & hell

Today is a day for swearing. And I'm not going to appologize for it.
This weekend did not go as planned.
And... AND... I effing (gotta draw the line somewhere) just accidentally erased everything on my IPod! Now I have to reload everything from my 2 computers.
SHIT! DAMN! HELL!


Also, by way of a PSA... no one will be seeing me or hearing from me until April 21st. Don't take it personally.

oh yeah...

I forgot to post this last week. But, I went to Phantom for free (the only way to see shows in Vegas). I loved it which is strange considering that I always hated it before seeing it here. Maybe it was the fact that I was sitting directly under the chandelier and when it dropped I literally thought it was going to fall on me and crush me. That kind of excitement will make you love anything.

umm...

Someone just played the mormon card on me at work today.

"ya know, we have the same religious background and we need to stick together in this town. And, we... we will always choose the right!"

Yeah, don't ever say that to me again.

Oh Angela...

"I guess I wouldn't mind a pair of small, well behaved boys."

ALL day?

This morning on the way to work (which happened to be at 9am) I declared today "ALL AEROSMITH, ALL DAY!" day.

umm... it's 2pm and I'm already tired of Aerosmith. So, really today turned into "ALL AEROSMITH, ALL DAY... or until I get sick of it!" day.

But, my favorite Aerosmith memory is of my best friends son singing "Rag Doll" at the age of 5ish.

Holy Crap! Forget everything I ever said about moving to a snowy climate! Watch THIS!

And for some reason THIS makes me feel better.

Also, just for the sake of a dancing update- we went dancing for my birthday redo on saturday night. Carnival Club with a few of my girls and boys (including my minor project) WHO CAN ACTUALLY DANCE! Party on 'til the break of dawn, I say!

SNOW DAY!

Today is a SNOW DAY! But, not for me... I live in a place where the only variance in the weather is the temperature. The forecast rarely indicates anything other than clear skies. Normally I love living in a place where I don't have to scrape the ice off my windows and use my 4wheel driving skills (of which I have none).

However, today I realized that there are places in the world where if it snows a lot you don't have to go to work!! Hello! Sign me up for that! I remember when church got cancelled when I was a young lass growing up in Utah. That was pretty cool, although since it was sunday we really couldn't go out and play in the snow. So, what was the point in skipping church. But, skipping work? I could totally be ok with having to scrape the ice off my windshield 4 months out of the year if it could guarantee a couple of snow days every year.

If things go according to plans I'm pretty sure I'll be working the rest of my life to secure some financial stability (ugh) so I'm thinking I need to stock up on warm clothes and ice scrapers and relocate to the snowiest place in the lower continental states. Any suggestions? Think lots of snow people. Plus... the closer I am to snow the more I get to snowboard. woot!

However, I realize as I sit here in my office that I think this is a good idea now but I'm not sure giving up being able to wear sandals year round and not owning an ice scraper would actually be worth the one snow day a year I'd likely get. I think I'd rather just fake sick... and go shopping... in my sandals... with clear roads. Plus, I just remembered that I hate being cold. So nevermind on all that moving to a snowy place nonsense I just wrote. And turn up the heat!

PS- Guitar Hero is pretty much the greatest thing ever invented.

And, I just lost a contest in which a 3 year old was giving away his art work. Honestly, I'm pretty bummed about it. So, there you go. That's my life.

My head doesn't feel fuzzy anymore!

I'm happy to report that after a month of being sick, my head is finally feeling not fuzzy and my glands and lymph nodes are unswollen. So, it no longer feels like someone hit me in the back of the head with a hammer then punched me in the throat. I think my eyelids are even finally back to normal and not swollen to 3 times their normal puffy state. Good times indeed.

I guess the antibiotics the patronizing doctor gave me actually worked. I spent the morning of the day after my birthday in bed then finally conceded to go to a doctor. I'm not one who likes going to the doctor. Not that I'm afraid of them, but because I'm usually never sick and if I do get sick I suck it up and deal with it. 3 weeks of sucking it up and dealing with it just wasn't working for me so when I told the doctor what my symptoms were she said "you have an upper respiratory infection. In other words, you have a cold." Well NO $#!& SHERLOCK! I could have told you that... in fact I DID tell you that! Now just give me the D@%& DRUGS!

Enough of that. I'm almost all better now.

I did a lot of sleeping before saturday night so that I could suck it up enough to go to Gilley's to celebrate my birthday. SO FUN! Thanks to everyone who came, especially for the ones that danced and made it pretty much the best birthday in a really long time. I like when people dance. It makes me happy. I didn't take any photos because I was too busy having fun and looking cute- yeah, I wore my new belt and my cowgirl hat. It was pretty hot. I even got a boyfriend while I was there. Granted, he was a crusty old cowboy that didn't have all his teeth but hey, a boyfriend's a boyfriend right?

Oh, and if you're awake at 2am something fun to do is read Mormon Doctrine... especially the part about 'sex immorality'. And, really it's only funny because you'll need a dictionary to understand a word he writes. And, because it's so 'hellfire and damnation'. And hellfire and damnation are always funny at 2am.
