Monday, Blessed Monday!

I love Mondays...I always have some reason to rejoice and be wicked happy!!! Since May 4, 2010, Monday has always been email day....in the mission it was Pday, and even when Pday was moved, Monday was still email day....so that was wonderful. Since I got home from the mission, Monday is still email day, because I get emails from some friends who are still in the mission, which makes it basically the highlight of my email week! :) Mondays are also a chance to begin a new week on a clean slate, and my weeks are always full of goals and high hopes and Mondays give me a renewed motivation to work hard. This week I've got a couple tests to take, which I am actually excited about...tests mean we are making progress in the semester!!!!

I'm flying, high as a kite, and and floating on happiness!!!!!!! I sure do love Mondays!

On another note, this Monday is actually a bittersweet Monday. I've had all the usual highs of a Monday, but also, it is January 23, which makes me think more than usual about Stanford Larsen. Michael commented last night that today marks 5 years since he passed away, and this morning I received John Larsen's email about this. I want everyone out there to know....5 years may seem like a long time, though at the same time feels like the blink of an eye. Stanford Larsen marked and changed my life, and will always be a part of my life as my hero, someone I still look up to. I have never before nor since met someone like him. So on this day, January 23 2012, Stanford, you are still being remembered, and I know it's not just by me, but by thousands of lives you touched!

10 Things I hate about Hannaford

Today was one of those days. I've had this list growing in my head for a while too, and today I just want to write it all down, cuz the first part of work, until I got back from my break, pretty much sucked. Stupid people. So in no specific order... 1. Frozen pizzas. I don't like eating them, and I hate them even worse at the register, because their barcodes are dumb and they don't fit in bags. 2. paper in plastic. Seriously, what's the point?! 3. customers who bag for themselves on express. THERE IS NO ROOM ANYWAY, and yet they're making less. This also includes the people who rearrange as you bag for them. yuck. if you want it a specific way, just tell us! 4. people who smell bad. nuff said. 5. old guys who wink at me. and hit on me. sick. 6. when dillon is not my bagger. hahahah. 7. when someone asks "where's corn flake crumbs?" like anyone could even know that. what are those even used for?! just get the crumbs from the bottom o...

Greased Lightning

It's snowing today! And what a great day it's been...minus the fact that I haven't finished nearly as much as I should have by now. But I DID go outside and play in the snow...and that's important! The snow was fresh in the tree....so I did what any little kid would do, and licked it. It was snow AND ice...good thing my tongue didn't freeze to the tree in my front yard! I love tree branches in the snow. There's just something about the combination of brown and pure white that strikes my artistic bone. Part of the tree and part of my house. Looking up Pennichuck Street. So picturesque. Me in my getup...I borrowed Michael's boots because I don't have any in NH (except for my cowboy boots....), and he gave me his snowshoeing boots, because they each weight like 5 pounds, and he just wanted to see me try to walk in them. My sunglasses made a comeback! Well, that's today. I've got a couple papers to write for English 316, and a bunch of Bio to r...

Rocks Rock

Every rock tells a story. Sometimes it is obvious what that story is: Over time, sediment built up and created this huge sedimentary rock. This is typical of basically all the rocks in the west. Look at the Grand Canyon for example...that's a perfect picture of sedimentary rock eroded over time and through water and such. Sometimes the story is a little harder to find, and you have you dig deeper and know some background info about that rock or rock system: In the Rocky Mountains, specifically the Wasatch range, the rocks started as sedimentary rocks. Layers built up over time. As faults formed and gave out, these layers were bent, twisted, uplifted, and changed. The layers are not horizontal anymore, and some are twisted around like this one. It takes more time to explain this than just looking at it and knowing which layer came first. Sometimes unless you know more about the type of rock, the climate, and erosion processes, you c...
