Lists, age, and long time no see

Hey all. It's been forever since I've posted anything on here, and even longer since it was something artsy and different and interesting. So basically... I like lists. Lists help me organize my life. At this very moment in time, I have a to-do list written out for today, and a longer one in my head for this week. I also have a bucket list that keeps getting added to, though I haven't actually put pen to paper on that one. Maybe I should get working on that. I have about 2 1/2 months until I report to the MTC for my mission in Brazil. I'll be going through lots of lists before then. Clothes to buy, books to read, movies to see, shots to get, letters to write, people to talk with, etc. Look, that's a list in itself. Already, I can feel the organization.

Dreams. I have weird dreams. Sometimes more than others. For the past couple weeks, I've been on a roll. I remember my dreams the next day, so I remember what I just dreamed about. I have lots of dreams about my friends, about people in Utah, and about my upcoming mission. Of course, in dreams, something almost always goes wrong with good situations, or my head writes my life story about the way I want it to be at the time, not about reality. Sometimes I wake up and think, "dang, that was just a dream?" Oh well. It's fun, really.

I turned 21 a few days ago. Hard to believe, I know. I'm old. And you want to know a secret? My birthday was kinda lame. I was supposed to go bowling with some people, but they never showed up. I had cake with my family, which was good. And then Mel and Mike came over for a few hours, and that was good too. I'm glad they came, because otherwise it would have been a pretty much friendless birthday. Oh well. I went to the Christmas pageant too...but I'm not gonna write how I felt about that. Maybe another time, not on the internet. Where was I going with this thought? Oh yeah. I realized that birthdays aren't really important. I had a huge fiesta last year when I turned 20, and did 20 new things I'd never done before. It took all day, literally, and was definitely a birthday to remember. But i think sometimes birthdays are just a reason to have a party. Age doesn't really matter anymore. At least it doesn't to me right now. That could change next week or year or whatever. I don't even know how to put this in words...so now I'm just rambling and I'm going to stop.

SO GUESS WHAT! My old roommate from sophomore year at BYU is coming! Tiff Tiff is coming out to NH for Christmas with my family, and she's bringing her little brother, Skylar. I'm so excited! And then I will put up pictures, because we all know that a picture is worth a thousand words, and I haven't put up any pictures lately. So yup. Okay, off to do my million things today!

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....

Shades of Gray

Sometimes you think you've seen and heard it all. You look back on your life and think, "wow, I've been through everything." And you realize that you've been friendless, lost people close to you to the dreaded cancer, pretty much failed a class, missed work entirely, didn't know how you were going to pay your bills, been rejected by people you liked, felt lost and aimless, been rejected twice from the dream you've been dreaming, had the car die on you more times than you can count, and the list goes on. On the other hand, you've got amazing friends, the gospel in life, a positive and optimistic outlook, had the opportunity to be an EFY counselor, have an amazing family, travelled a ton, finally found what you want to do with your education, and the list goes on longer than the first. And then you think, again, "wow, I really HAVE been through everything!" And you think you know how to deal with anything that might come your way, because ...

Rocks Rock!

So just out of curiosity, and because I had a couple minute before I have to head to work, I went on ebay and searched for a rock hammer. They are way cheaper than I thought they'd be! One of these days, I'm going to invest in a good one. But probably not until post-mission, as I technically won't need it until then anyway. Unless for some reason I take it to Alaska...hmm.... idears! Anyway, I took a geology test today, and it was a breeze. I love having a 4-credit class that I love and have an A in...partially because I love it, and partially because it takes some stress off of my math class, because this will balance it out. Though I'm not doing as badly in math as I thought I was! But i guess we'll see how this next test goes, which I think I am going to take on Saturday. It's going to be a busy weekend! James and I have quite the adventure planned for Saturday evening...just wait for pictures :) I hope it works out, because it'll be a hoot! ...
