Still catching up

Okay, what does it say about your life, if you sit down on a Tuesday to try and catch up on some thoughts you've had lately and then get interupted, have to run and don't find another minute to sit down until Sunday afternoon? I need a vacation.

I have two things to mention today:
One- an interesting thought I had the other day that I'd like to develope further is the fact that sometimes God lets bad things happen to us to save us from something worse. It's really all about seeing the bigger picture. Something that is so hard to do but if you could, would make life if not more tolerable, at least more understandable.
and Two- last night I went on a "ro-tic" date. It was my girlfriend J. and I. We took the 'man' out of 'romantic.' We went to a restaurant called The Melting Pot. It's a fondue place. I hadn't ever done anything like that, but would have to say for the record, now this is for the record, that it was one of the coolest things I've done. The chocolate dessert alone! My goodness! It was a very expensive place but J treated. She has some amazing friends back home who knew she was having a hard week. They all put in twenty bucks and sent her a wad of cash to have a night out on the town. Now, those are the kind of friends I need! Boy oh boy!

Catching Up

For those of you who know me, I am constantly thinking of what's coming next. I figure, after so many years of planning out situations in my head I am a walking "Idiots Survival Guide to my Universe." Anyway, the point of that whole intro bit is to really let you know that I have had a couple hundred thoughts I've wanted to post running through my head all the way up to the point that I can't remember if I actually did post or not! Alright, I'm off to play, but I'll come right back to this...

Deep Thots

So, I had a deep thought today. It probably isn't really as deep as it is obvious but I've got to keep my esteem up some how. The thought goes like this... As I spent part of my time off this afternoon goofing off on the internet, reading all of my friends blogs, it occurred to me that people write about what's most important and prevalent in there life. This got me thinking then about what people write about and specifically because I tend to introvert thoughts, what I write about. Here's my proof... K. just got married, and she writes a lot about N. S. writes all about his family and his mountain adventures. Ftrain writes about his city, New York. Megnut and Kottke write about the internet and computers and each other. Dooce writes about poop. So, what is it that is most important and prevalent in my life? Why silly, boys, clothes and adventures of course. How shallow. Please, tell me that was a deep thought so I can get my self esteem back up.

Guess Who

So, for those of you who may not be in 'the know...' the other day C. came into the Q. and got a job there as a sales guy. Up to this point I had totally forgotten that he was even in Utah. When I found out that he was hired there, admittadly I had a little trepedation because of our relationship. I wasn't sure if we should tell people of our past or what but decided to just embrace it and follow his lead. Anyway, it's turned out to be a great thing. The guy, first of all is HULKING so everyone right away knew who he was...ie: Oh yeah, I've met C. He's that new big guy, right? Then, C. starts throwing cash around. You know, I'll give 50 bucks to the guy who can do this. Immediatly people like him. He sold 5 memberships off that one 50 dollar bet. That's awesome. Also, it's great to have him around to protect me. When I was all scared over D. he met me at my house so I didn't have to go home and be alone, even though all I was doing was changing clothes before I went out again. Also, he's very smart and very funny. He is a personal trainer and a dietican so he was telling K. and I tonight how to slim down and tone up. Very informative. He gave me some great advice on how to answer a question someone posed the other day that was very helpful. Anyway, the point of this whole post is just to say how glad I am that he's at the Q. and how much fun it is to work with him. Yes, even despite our past and the fact that we used to sleep together. I know, I know, I'm sure some of you are wondering who C. is... well, Stranger, give me a call and I'll fill you in . Love ya!

Salt of the Earth

So, I have two things tonight, neither of much interest so please, don't feel obligated to read further. First of all is A. came over tonight. He drives his hot car up on my lawn which while probably bad for the lawn, I love. It's the stuff of teenage girls dreams. This hot guy in a hot white car pulls up, honks, says "come on Babe." Thrills. Absolute thrills. We bummed around for a while and then went and got sushi with a bunch of friends. It was a great party, about 15 people all packed around a table that probably fits 8. The sushi was good, but A. company was better. I think I might be forced to admit, all though I never would in 'public' and never in front of him, but I think he's my best friend. For how crazy he can drive me (he NEVER approves of the guys I like) I know he's still got my back. I'm glad he's in my life.

Second thing is, I think I must be hitting a growth spurt or something because I am always SO tired! I have to be storing that energy for something, like another 5 inches or so. It's gotten to the point where I have to skip eating at lunch to go take a half hour nap in the back of my car parked around the corner from my office where no one can see. I've had some good times in that car and I hate to see it being turned into a Ramada, but I just can't make it through the day without that cat nap. I don't know why really, I should be so tired, but somewhere between working out at 5am, going to work at 8am, working till 5pm and then switching to my other job to work till 10:30pm to be home in bed by 11pm, I'm just losing it. And then having friends like A. on my days off to get me off the couch, I'll tell you what. Sheesh.

There is Sunshine in my Soul Today!

My goodness, what a beautiful Sunday! I love Testimony Sundays, and today just seemed to be particularly good. I'm home now, comfortably dressed. I made some stir-fry for dinner and did a great job of it, if you ask me. I'm cuddled on the couch reading articles on-line and listening to the thunderstorm outside my window. No rain mind you, just thunder. Awesome. Only one thing could make this better but I've got to wait 43 days for that still. But that's okay. I'm patient.

Yesterday I went to the Himalaya festival at the Hare Krishna temple in Spanish Fork. I've still got the mantra chant, rock song of theirs stuck in my head. They had Indian/Nepalese dancers perform that were amazing. I was so impressed by their fluidity and movement as well as their precision. Mostly it just looked so joyful. I wanted to get up and twirl with them. I love going to festivals. I loved wearing flip-flops and sitting on the hill in the grass and feeling the sunshine on my shoulders. It was a great way to spend the evening. I wish I could spend every evening on the grass just thinking deep thoughts about the nature of things. That would be nice.

And breathe...

So, I'm officially off of work for the weekend. Yup, you heard me right, the WHOLE weekend. I'm not working tonight OR tomorrow. What will I do with myself? I'm not sure yet but you can bet it will be no good, that's for sure. I've got a couple of things in the works, climbing tonight, a Himalaya Festival tomorrow, sleep, blessed sleep on Sunday. Oh my, a whole weekend to myself. I can hardly stand it. Oh, and uh, for your information, cleaning goldfish tanks require red ruby necklaces and butterfly hair clips.

Variation on a theme

So I know I wrote yesterday about a chore I was undecided on. I've got another one to add to the list today. I am not particularly fond of vacuuming at the Q. I tell everyone there that I would rather lick the bathrooms clean then vacuum and I'm not so sure I don't really mean it. I don't want this blog to turn into a list of chores I have questionable feelings for, but if anyone out there in the cosmics is taking note, please add vacuuming to the list. Thank you and goodnight.
