So it's obvious that I haven't been on in a while because I just read all of the comments made on the fact that I need to update everyone on my life and the developments there in. Well that's funny because all of you that are telling me to tell you that I am dating someone, well you already know. Thus I am going to update you on things you might not know about my changing life.

I cut my finger on top of an already existing scar and I am not really thrilled because I am sure that is it going to get a lot bigger. the scar I mean.

I bought a new CTR ring since my first got lost my other really doens't fit the situation anymore. It's cute and all silver.


Today has been a year since my Aunt passed away, so I am feeling a little tender and incredibly homesick for my family right now.

I have been having some pretty intense dreams lately, I don't remember them, but I know that they are intense because I sleep hugging and cuddling my pillow all night and I wake up that way.

Macy fell between the wall and the bed and she isn't very happy with me right now

I did my laundry here in utah for the first time since july this week. only because I ran out of socks.

I re-arranged my closet, and I feel very confident that it will stay cleaner this way. at least for a little while.

My computer is still broken and it's driving me crazy because at least when it would turn on I could use the internet and write papers dispite the fact that it took forever to turn on.

I almost got in a car accident yesterday. I have been pretty shaken about it, but then not at the same time because obviously I am fine, and I haven't really told anyone. the reason being I am obviously fine.

I know that elephant rides at the circus cost $5.

And finally for the first time I got my Wednesday funny bugs class to really pay attention to me and see me as their teacher and not their babysitter. yes I had to duckt tape them to the wall, but at least they know who is boss. (this obviously is a joke because I am out of duckt tape)

For Sara

The other day Sara was kind enough to alert those of us who hadn't blogged in a while. So thanks to her reminder, I am taking the time to blog something for her benefit. Lately, I think because it is winter and I hate it when it is cold, I seem to be pretty negative about things. So I started a thankful list to make up for my resentful feelings toward the cold and the fact I have to walk in it.

#1 I am very grateful to have two legs that are the same length. I have enough trouble as it is finding pants and I can't imagine that would be the only downfall, think of the shoes and the toll it would take on your spine.

#2 I am grateful for jergen's lotion and the quality in which they produce their product becuase it seems to single handedly be the reason I still have fully covered knuckles.

#3 I am grateful for messy roomates. I was reminded on monday of how awful it is to live with people that are so particular about the way the house is run and cleaned and arranged that those around you can't get to know you because you are so consumed and can't relax, and every little thing becomes a battle. So when it comes to serious issues, they aren't addressed because the little things are what life revolves around.

#4 I am grateful for a car that heats up quite quickly.

#5 I am grateful for chocolate pudding.

#6 I am grateful for graduate student language teachers because it seems like it is the best way to learn a language.

#7 I am grateful for my endless supply of clothes and the fact that I get to choose something different to wear every day because my life style allows it.

#8 I am grateful for ugly things like the fish dress, my broken belt and my picture of Kyle, because I know that I have a one up on something.

#9 I am grateful for random comments made from observers that make me feel better about the way I was just treated.

#10 I am greateful for the no SHHH! Zone. there is no better place to wait for your group and blog at the same time.

#11 I am grateful for people to choose to stop me and say hi, because usually I never think they would find me interesting enough to pause.

#12 I am grateful for the kids in past classes that I identified as nerds or weird that probably never judged me and have taught me a lesson. even though I still have to giggle at some of the stuff they did and said.

#13 I am grateful for pictures-I guess they are just happy.

I guess I could go on forever, but I am supposed to be meeting my group somewhere around here and I guess they sooner I find them, the faster we can be done. I hate group work, and even more, group papers. but oh well I guess I will just have to complain about that some so I feel guilty and then come up with some lame reason why I should be grateful for it.
