cowboy boots, belt buckles, and country dancing

So my time at home has flown by, and it's just about time for me to leave again! I leave tomorrow morning, bright and early, to head down to DC. Friday will be filled with sailing, hopefully. I'd better bring sunscreen, or I'll get to EFY as a tomato.

I haven't done much since I've been home. I worked a total of 4 hours at Hannaford...that'll be a small paycheck tomorrow, though I won't get it for 3 1/2 weeks. I did some painting projects at the Youngs', though, which has been helpful to my financial state! They're great people, so it was fun to hang out and catch up with them too. It's always better to work for people you like! I've attended the Singles Ward a couple times, and it's great to see old friends and make new friends! I'm looking forward to going there weekly in August and the fall. I really love that ward, and I'm glad to be back!

Other than that...oh, I've taught Steven and Michael some country dancing that I know, so they're pretty pumped and want to "own" everyone at EFY with our sweet moves. Now I just have to break the news to Jazon... :)

Well, I've got a list of things to do, and it's a mile long, so I really need to go cross more things off of there. I'll be back in a few weeks! Oh- yeah, I think I'm going to leave my computer here during EFY. Less to lug around and worry about, and I won't really use it anyway.

To be or not to be...

...in this case, it is not the question but rather the answer. Today in Church a talk was given that brought up something important to me.  I am a "list person".  I have so many lists, because that is how I stay organized.  The most frequent list I make is a to-do list, generally before I go to bed for the next day (yes, I still have nightly planning sessions, hahahaha, picked that up from the mission!).  But in this talk, the speaker talked about how we like to-do lists because we can check things off as we finish.  But have we ever thought about a "To be" list?  So that got me thinking.  And tonight for my scripture study, I was pondering over this and decided that I also needed to make a "Not to be" list.  And these are lists that will stay with me for life, as I will never be perfect and will always be working on becoming more like Christ.  Because that is the ultimate goal of a "to be" list.  So here is the result of my study: T...

10 Things I love about Hannaford

So originally I was going to do this in sarcasm...but then decided that I could actually come up with 10 things (in no specific order) I like about my job. Even though being a cashier at a grocery store is not ideal, it's a job, and...well, you'll see. 1. Going on break with my dad sometimes. Because, you know, we work in the same store. It's pretty cool. 2. I love the people I work with soooooo much! Mainly the ones during the day, because I don't know any of the high school kids that work evenings, because I rarely work evenings. 3. Being the "party animal". nuff said. 4. Watching a cashier ID someone for alcohol, and him telling us that he doesn't even have a photo ID since his license was taken away for DWI. Yeah, maybe he should rethink his purchase... 5. Now when I hear the name of a vegetable, I automatically think of its PLU. Dates: 3047. Cabbage: 4069. Bananas: 4011. Tree Ripe Peaches: 4044. Eastern Peaches: 4403. Nectarines: 4378....

"What do you want for Christmas?"

This question is asked countless times during this Christmas season, and is one that has recently been asked of me a few times.  Since my birthday was recent, I heard a few times "what do you want for your birthday?" too.  And it has left me thoughtful... Here, I could talk about how we need to forget the materialism of Christmas and focus on the real meaning, how it isn't about getting but it's about giving, about how we need to love each other more...basically, I could give you any kind of canned, stereotypical answer in response to this subject, but these are not the thoughts I've had! My thoughts have been simple, and I always give the same answer: "I don't want anything".  And then people would push me into saying something, but I literally couldn't (and still can't) come up with anything I need, or even want.  What does that mean?  Life is great. :)  It means that I am satisfied with my life right now...yeah, I've still got questi...
