Doncha

I love this girl. She's off the chain.

Not that another post is needed, but I kinda felt like this would be a perfect nightcap for me. My chill is gone, there was some delicious pork roast at Grandma's and I came in third place at Pirates of the Caribbean Life. But, as we all know, if you're not first, you're last. Therefore, I think it's safe to say that I've had a great day and now I'm just going to go into this next week with a certain amount of trepidation. Trepidation, you ask? Last week was really ragged and therefore I want to have so much hope for the new week. However, why set yourself up for being let down? I'll just coast into the week and wish that there will be some good things for me in the future.

Caleb is so excited for the "Search for the Next Pussycat Doll" show that starts this week. Oh, reality shows.

Another Boring Post

Today I worked for 4.5 hours at Archiver's; I know that doesn't sound exciting (and it wasn't!), but I got to work with two girls that I really love, Keera and Melanie. It started snowing right when Caleb and I got ourselves to school and work, so the snow scared everyone away from the mall. We didn't make much money at all in the 4.5 hours that I was at work, so the three of us girls got to work on projects and just have fun.

And Caleb took off work tonight, so we're going to reality TV it up and have a fun night. I hope it's fun, because tomorrow may be a very sad day.

400 Level Class

A girl I visit teach asked me why Caleb and I attend basketball games (but she intonated all sports in general). My immediate response was "It's because we like competition," but I think it's a lot more than that. The conversation turned away from sports, but for some reason I can't stop thinking about her question. Caleb and I love to attend any sporting event; we have fun rooting for the home team and celebrating great plays on either side. There's something about feeding off the energy of the crowd and being able to turn to the strangers around you and high five and scream together. Also, there's always the potential to rush the field after a big win. All of these things are impossible when you're sitting on your bum at home, watching the game on TV. Besides, after all this proof, I just don't understand why one would begrudge someone else going to see a sport that they like. It's all just silly.


I haven't been feeling great the last 3 or 4 days. And, granted, I haven't been feeling 100% for awhile, but these past few days have made me really sick of being sick. Unfortunately, my specialist appointment was moved from today to Thursday, so I have to wait an extra two days to find out why my ear and head has been going crazy for so long. Until then, I'll just keep downing the meds and feeling guilty about Caleb waiting on me hand and foot. He is super, extra nice.

I'm so excited now that American Idol has started. It gives me something silly and awesome to look forward to and another television show to be obsessed with. I can't wait until the auditions are over so we can get to Hollywood week; for some reason, that is one of my favorite parts of the show. Yaaaaay TV.

I'll Wear My Stunner Glasses

Here I sit, next to Caleb as he works on his Brit Lit mid-term, pretty much in a reminiscent mood. I'm not really into reminiscing about myself at the moment, but more about other people and how they used to be. I was previously looking at pictures from Caleb's mission and his high school career and I'm just itching for some more pictures. I can't wait to have my own digital camera so Caleb and I can reminisce years from now on this time.

Last night, late late into the night, Caleb and I put up our Christmas tree and decorated it. We took some pictures, which I'm assuming might go up here later, and we also listened to Nat King Cole sing some great Christmas songs. The end result is a sparkly Christmas tree and some extra white lights to put around our kitchen window! I can't wait until we all get to go up to Salt Lake to see the Christmas lights there.

Caleb and I started a new eating plan today that consists of eating only fruit or fruit juice until noon and adding tons of vegetables to every meal after that. Because it's the first day, we are finding ourselves struggling a little but, but I have faith that we'll find that we have a lot more energy and look a lot better after we do this for awhile.

Tomorrow, I am going to be on TV. Again. This time, I am going to Salt Lake with my boss Tracey to the KSL (the local NBC) station to talk about Archiver's Create-a-Calendars and how awesome of a present they are for the holiday season. I, myself, couldn't care less about the whole scrapping industry and I'm beginning to feel a little wary of going on TV to promote it. It is, however, a huge honor to be chosen from amongst the great employees and I hope that after awhile I will become more used to the personalities and chaos that surrounds scrapbooking.

I can't wait to go home to Redlands, feel the warm air and veg out on my old couch. We should make some fun New Year's plans and then follow our whims the rest of the time, but we'll actually see what happens.
