6 quirks

Well, since Nat tagged me and I am bored at work at the moment, I will list 6 quirks I have....hmm...let me think.
#1- I have this weird fascination with numbers. I count EVERYTHING, and ussually by 3s. I don't know why and I tried explaining it to a friend once and she was totally and completely lost. I hate math, but I have this subconcious addiction to counting things. For example in my living room I count to 14 between the entertainment center and the computer. Upstairs in the front room I count to 99...and BTW, I can count to 99 in 3s in under 30 seconds...that's all the way up to 99 and back down to 3...I'm so weird.
#2- Everthing becomes a story to me. I see everything as a potential book or story in my head. I walk every morning with two girls from work and don't be suprised if I one day write a book about a group of young women who go walking each morning and discuss the issues of their life.
#3- Awkwardness is my life. For whatever reason I always run into the most AWKWARD situations almost daily. On the mission this was definatly the case. A year and a half of complete awkwardness. We had a motto in the mission "Embrace the awkwardness" this is still true of me...embrace the awkwardness because it follows me everywhere.
#4-I am an organizational freak everywhere except at home. For some reason I can't keep my room organized. At work, everything has its place and don't even think of moving my tape dispenser or stapler...it has its place and you don't have permission to touch it. I am working on being better organized at home...its a work in progress.
#5- I pretend to be indesisive, but I generally always know exactly what I want...I think that this is true of a lot of people ( I could be wrong, but there it is) but yeah, and this is totally not a good thing to share because I generally feel dumb voicing my opinion when I don't know exactly if that would please everyone. I try to get someone elses opinion first to see what they are thinking or what they want to do and then decide if it is worth voicing my own opinion for.
And, #6- I wish I was a list person, but I'm just too lazy for it. This is a quirk because in my head I'm so much different then I come accross mostly because I'm just too lazy to do everything I want to in my head...maybe some day I'll be the person I wish I really was.

Any way, there you go and have hope you all have a great week!!

New Week, New Post!

YAY!!! Its Monday!!! okay, so that isn't the fun part...the fun part is, that it is starting out as a good week.
ALRIGHT....I JUST HAVE ONE THING TO SAY TO BRIAN HOWARD PETERSEN .........UPDATE YOUR STUPID BLOG!!!!!!!! I just thought I'd bug you about it....its been over a month, you know.
Um....so Saturdays will be better. I will still have to come in the last Saturday of the month (not too bad) and then if they need me any other Saturday they can call me. Its not like I live really far away from work or something. But yeah, it will be a good.
That's it, just a quick little update to yell at B. ;)

Saturday Shift

So, they have told me that I will probably have to work Saturdays, and I managed to avoid it for 3 months now...but today I am working a Saturday. It is so exciting and I can hardly believe how much fun it is....okay, not really...there's nothing for me to do...but, such is my life. I guess I can't complain, I mean I am getting paid to be here...I just really really enjoy sleeping in on Saturdays. Its my only day off to do whatever I want to do. Its the only day I can really hang out with a lot of my friends since I have gotten in the habit of actually sleeping at night to really get rest before waking up and putting in 8 hours at work (crazy concept, I know...) So, I am here working until noon, which really isn't that bad...it just cut into my sleeping in this morning. Oh well...

Recurring Dream

So.....I keep having this dream and I know that its about something important and when I first wake up I can remember it, but as soon as I get out of bed, its gone...and all I can remember is walking towards a huge white curtain and when I reach it I pull it aside to go through it, but then I wake up...everytime. I know that its not what my dream is about, but that is the only thing I can remember from it.
This is the first time since my mission that this has happened, on the mission though, it happened all the time, and I mean like ALL THE TIME. It was crazy. And my companions always laughed and said that I had the craziest dreams...its just that I don't know what these dreams mean...its weird...I don't know what to do about them, and so I'll just do nothing and let life continue on.

I love high speed internet

I had almost forgotten how glorious high speed internet truly was, but now that I have it here in the comfort of my own home I remember how glorious it is!
So, I was on Facebook and saw a link to a YouTube video that I watched and almost died of laughter. Here is a link so you can all die laughing too!

Imagine taking a Josh Groban song and putting clips from the most recent Pride and Prejudice movie...yeah, you will be laughing too!

But yeah, life is grand. Work....and work.....and work....thats's about all I do these days. I found out another of my good friends is engaged. They are dropping like flies all around me! I swear everyone is getting married...and in many ways I am glad that I am not.

Yep, it's summertime

I figured since I haven't updated since I chopped my hair off and haven't yet posted a picture (sorry) I thought I'd just write a quick note letting you know that I am still alive and well.
I went to a bonfire last night which was fun. I saw one of my friends that is getting married. I hadn't seen him since before my mission. That was a lot of fun. His was the 5th wedding invitation I have received in the last 3 or so weeks. Yeah, everyone I know is getting married, apparently. Kind of crazy thought. I never Thought I would be one of the last ones of my friends to get married...I also never really planned on going on a mission, and that kind of took up some time. But all in all, life is good and I am really happy for all my friends that are getting married.

"Celebrating 20 years of non destructive testing"

Okay, so I am bored at work and I am pretty much just waiting to go home like everyone else. There are hardly any lights on and hardly anyone here, but I am staying until 4:30 just in case someone needs something shipped out ASAP. So, 7 minutes to go and here I am blogging since I haven't blogged in forever.

Oh yeah, I was on the phone with one of our vendors and they are playing some kind of cheesy music and I then I hear what I thought was a commercial, but no, the voice said "Celebrating 20 years of non destructive testing" and I thought to myself 'wow...that's an accomplishment right there' and then laughed. Its never dull here at work...except for right now when everyone is gone....

I chopped my hair off yesterday. I have never had my hair this short before. I like it. Totally shocked EVERYONE I worked with, since I didn't tell anyone I was cutting it off, I just went and did it. I love the shock factor when people find out something they weren't expecting. I will be putting a picture of my new haircut up soon since I don't have a camera right now to do it.

I got registered for classes for the fall. I am just taking 2 right now. Spanish and History. I am a little excited. Not only will they take care of some generals, they are two subjects I am actually interested in. I think it will be a good semester for me. It'll probably be hard, but good. And, now I get to look for an apartment up that way too! YAY!! I'm excited to be out on my own again. I miss it.

Any way, have a great weekend and HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!
