March Thanks

What are you thankful for?

I think my photo and description answer this.

Photo: I have been blessed beyond blessed this past week. Seriously so many acts of kindness shown to me. This cute dinner was provided by a co-worker who has been such a great friend to me. I love her to pieces. Thank you ask for acting on those impressions you get. I kept telling Greg that I hate nice people because they make me feel so guilty for not following through on the impressions I get. That's my goal this month. Listen and do! Thank you all. For reals... #feelingblessed #kindness #mydailylife

 

Saturdays

On Saturdays, I like to…

*Sleep in
*Not work
*Watch movies
*Eat junk food
*Be super lazy

Photo: Don't worry snow, it's only March. #needstobeChristmasthough #ilovesnow #mydailylife

Mail Time

What was in your mail box today?

Bills, bills, junk, and more bills. I very rarely get anything too exciting!

Photo: Even though he's glaring at me here, I have the best husband. He takes care of me, even though I've turned into an old lady who needs more and more help each day. He's stuck by me and I love him more than ever. #lovemyhubby #roughdayatwalmart #nomoredetails #mydailylife

Photo 2: Dinner....Yes I missed the Women's Conference. I am a bad example... #shameonme #mydailylife

Easter Time

Is Easter an important time of year for you?

Easter is a very important time of year. I love the spirit that is felt around Easter time. It's a wonderful time to reflect on the life of our Savior, and on what he did for each and everyone of us. Christ died so that we may repent, be forgiven of our sins, and return to live with Him. I will be forever in debt to Him for His loving sacrifice.

Photo: I will no longer complain about the size of the Cellcept. Luckily the blue ones are only for a week. And most of the time they are broken in half. #meds #scleroderma #sclerodermaprobs #mydailylife

Read Your Mind

If you could have read one person’s mind today, who would you choose?

My doctor's. I'm always curios what runs through his mind when I visit. What are his thoughts on the disease? Does he think I'm just being a baby? How much does he really know? 

But at the same time, it's a good thing I can't read minds. Who would want to be able to do that? Information overload for sure. 

Photo: Getting blood drawn. Had to poke both arms to get enough. It was a good appointment with my rheumy. See him again in 3 months.

Crime

If you could commit any crime and get away with it, what would you choose?

I still think this is such a strange question, but in all honesty, there isn't a crime I wish I could commit. I mean, if I had to choose, I'd probably go with speeding, but even then I try my best to keep within the speed limit. 

Photo: What I'm going to be doing the next few days... Thanks sis.

Superhero

Who is your favorite super hero, and why?

Well, the no brain answer is Thor. Why? Because he's a total babe. I mean seriously. Have you seen how totally good looking he is? The movies aren't too bad either. But I also enjoy Batman and Spider-Man. My twin nephews are obsessed with those two, and I think it's adorable.

Photo: It's a bad idea to answer the phone when you're totally out of it... Hopefully she didn't ask anything other than to confirm my next appointment....

Wake Me Up

Do you wake up to a CD, the radio, or a buzzer? What song was playing when you woke up this morning?

{2013}

 

I typically wake up to my phone alarm. It's either 'Through the Dark' by One Direction or 'I Won't Give Up' by Jason Mraz. I didn't wake up to anything this morning. I just stayed in bed. Slept in. Or tried to anyway! 

Photo: Guess who's back. Luckily it's not my sciatic nerve. Luckily it's just shingles. Unluckily the pain is still for real. Because I'm on an immune suppressor, it can trigger shingles. 

Personality

What personality trait would you like to adopt from someone you know?

{2013}

 

I wish I had the ability to just hold conversations with anyone, and keep them going. Or just be able to talk to anyone, anytime or anywhere. Bummer I can't. I'm totally jealous of anyone who can. Is that a personality trait? I'm saying yes. 

Photo: Hives? The least of my problems unfortunately... 

My Special Room

If you could design a room in your house to suite only your needs, what would it look like?

{2013}

 

My needs, eh? Well everything would need to be at a reasonable height so that I wouldn't need to bend over or reach up high. It would also be full of yummy foods and snacks. A nice comfortable couch, tv, and crafts and places for crafts and all things crafty. Seriously. It would be awesome. 

Photo: At least I've been out of bed for a few hours. 

Last Vacation

When was your last vacation? Where did you go?

{2013}

 

My last vacation was forever ago. So long ago that I don't even remember where I went. That's how desperate I am for a vacation. Seriously. DESPERATE! 

Photo: Grateful for a good doctor who could fit me in today. Grateful for meds. Grateful for insurance. Grateful for a flexible job, even though I feel extremely guilty missing work. I really hope I don't have to miss more.

Glad I Did

What are you glad you did today?

{2013}

 

I'm glad I woke up, went to work, and got out of there on time. The pain from yesterday was awful. Seriously. Then I was glad I bathed, which gave me minor relief. 

Photo: Freaky fast for sure. Plus the CU paid for it. Sweet.

Today, Today

Today was…

Fine. I had a morning meeting, then I got to eat an orange roll. I have a weird pain in my back that shoots down to my knee. It's tolerable, so hopefully it just gotta away. But oh well. Good day anyway. 

Photo: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner...

A Dwarf

Which of Snow White’s 7 dwarfs describes you best today and why?

{2013}

 

Most likely Happy. I don't have a lot to be unhappy about. Grumpy might come out every now and then, but really, I'm going with Happy.

Photo: Homemade taco soup. Thanks mom.

Today I Went

Where did you go today?

{2013}

 

I took Greg to work, home, I went to work, picked Greg up from work, Pizza Pie Cafe, then home again. That's a change. 

Photo: Pizza Pie Cafe with the hubs, Brady and Ashbee. It was great seeing them.

A Habit

What habit of yours would you most like to eliminate?

{2013}

 

I think right now it would be saying the word 'like'. Oh gosh I say it like all the time! I hate it and I'm really trying to cut that word out unnecessarily. If I'm talking to Greg and I say it I stop myself. It totally bugs me. So unprofessional! 

Photo: Sometimes we have too many books that we have to stack them on the floor.

My Life in 1 Word

Choose a word that best describes your life up to this moment. Why?

{2013}

 

I'd say whirlwind. Nothing had ever turned out the way I planned it to be. Of course the Lord always had His plan, but it doesn't add up to mine. If I'm cruising asking just fine, a whirlwind comes along and removes me from that course. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, that's just how I feel my life has been. 

Photo: Work this morning with Colton. He's hilarious. 

Headline Thoughts

What was the biggest headline in the news today, and what are your thoughts?

{2013}

 

Honestly, I have had very little time to read the news lately, and if I do read anything, it doesn't really jump out to me. And let's be honest, I'm not writing this on the 14, so I can't answer this question honestly. 

Photo: Our schedule was thrown off last night due to a lengthy Relief Society activity, so shopping had to happen tonight... after pulling an all dayer...and dealing with crazies today. Needless to say, I'm tired.

Me Time

How much ‘me’ time did you get today?

{2013}

 

I get about 1.5 hours before work, .5 hours during work, then maybe an hour after work when I go to bathe. It's all good. I enjoy 'we' time too. 

Photo: #thursday3 with @rukristin 1) I've taken way too many selfies this week. I'm sorry. 2) I keep trying to convince my bosses that they should create a new position for me, like assistant to the assistant manager or something cool like that. I'd be awesome. 3) I wish I had epic hair and eyebrows. They'd make my life complete.

List of Sounds

List the sounds you are hearing right now

{2013}

 

List of work sounds:
Typing
Drive thru drawer going in and out
Lane 2 tube coming in
Impatient members ringing the bell at the drive thru
Phones ringing
Check jogger
Check 21 machine
Door opening and closing
Heavy sighs from my co-workers
Co-workers counting out money
Shared branch checks printing
Caleb talking :)

Photo: Lame selfie... just showing the awesome color in my hair.

Anywhere

If you could snap your fingers and appear somewhere else, where would you be?

{2013}

 

Oh geez. Maybe back East, or across the pond, or maybe somewhere warm like a cruise our something stellar like that. Anywhere but here. Just because I want to travel. Not because I don't like it here, because I do like it here. 

Photo: This is how good it looks once that nastiness comes off. It's only been a week and it's healing wonderfully. Ignore the purple and the other nastiness of my fingers. At least it doesn't hurt like the sores. 

Of Value

What is the most valuable thing you own?

{2013}

 

Pictures. I'm a memory keeper. Have always been. Pictures are my absolute favourite thing in the world. A photo can tell a story with no words, it can bring back a forgotten memory in an instant. Or it can document a journey, trial, or experience. What is greater than that? 

Photo: Kind of wish it was home time instead of having to stay til close.

Last Song

What is the last song you listened to?

I didn't listen to much today, so it was probably hymn 259, Hope of Israel, which was the closing hymn in sacrament today.

Photo: Not even kidding, this is the only part of the whole show I've ever seen. I've seen it at least 15 times. This court scene every time we change to it.

Never To-do

List three things on your to do list that never seem to get done.

{2013}

 

1 -- exercise
2 -- create a menu plan
3 -- organize all my files

Photo: It was a beautiful day. 

My Clean House

On a scale of 1-10, how clean is your house? (10 being the cleanest) 

{2013}

 

It's actually pretty clean compared to other times. We have more space and it's not as cluttered. Or at least the clutter is more hidden. So let's go with 7.

Photo: Oh the weather outside....I quite like it.

Saving

Are you saving or spending?

{2013}

 

I think we're doing a better job at saving. Of course it helps to have a second income that is twice what mine is. We do spend a lot of money that we shouldn't, but we are at least building up a savings.

Photo: Totally got to sleep in today. It's 9:15 and I'm just now eating breakfast and not yet dressed for work.

First Thing

What was the first thing you ate or drank today?

{2013}

 

Water, with omeprozole. Breakfast of champions right there. Luckily I got to actually enjoy some Kneaders for breakfast instead of having a meeting. 

Photo: This sure beats morning meetings.

Local Attractions

List three attractions in your current city you have never visited, but would like to see this year.

{2013}

Hmm, well since I'm still here in Logan, and I didn't really check anything of the list from last year, so I better do some of them. One thing I would like to do is try some of the local restaurants around here. I think that could be enjoyable. 

Photo: I really might fall asleep, so I took a pic to IG to keep me awake.

Sentimental

What is something you have that is of sentimental value?

{2013}

 

Pictures! I love pictures and feel they are some if the most sentimental things you can own. I really would love to get my hands on my grandma's photos, and my parents so I can create albums for them and for us kids to remember them when they're gone. I just think pictures are so important. 

Photo: Had to take at least one pic. Tried to take one earlier at work but it was crazy busy. Had about 5 loan requests and one account opening. So tired. Probably shouldn't have eaten this.

New Talent

If you could have a new talent, what would you want?

{2013}

 

I would live to be able to cook, and eat, anything. I'm jealous of people who can cook and aren't afraid to try new things. Someday I'll be able to cook more than mac and cheese. 

Photo: Went to church solo today. Hubby is sickly. 

Favorite Day

What is your favorite day of the week and why?

{2013}

 

I'm going to go with SATURDAY! Because it means no work. Not that I don't like my job, but it's also nice to be able to in and not worry about getting dressed. Yes, I'm lazy! 

Photo: Only the best brownies ever.
