trying to keep faith

Finding a job is so…what’s the word? Tedious? Boring? Frustrating? Yes, all of those things. I get up every morning and search all the usual job sites, and maybe apply to one or two jobs (none of which are ideal so far). And then I wait. And I do the same thing tomorrow. Mixed in [...]

In other news, I present to you the top five tv shows from my childhood (and possibly of all time):
The Smurfs La la la la la la, la la la la la. Some of my favorite characters: Hefty Smurf, Brainy Smurf, Smurfette, Gargamel, Johan, PeeWee, Asrael. No cartoon has ever been better. (Don’t even try [...]

what are the writers thinking?!

Didn’t forget to watch LOST…but geez, what a disappointing episode.
*Spoilers ahead*
If that was supposed to be a ‘cliffhanger’, it failed miserably. Okay, so Ben might die. Who cares?! He’s interesting, but he’s one of the ‘Others’. So someone is holding a gun to Sawyer’s head. Does anyone really believe he’s going to die? NO! Everyone [...]

how could we?!!

Last night we were in bed and John said, “You looking at my bum?”, which is a Charlie quote from LOST. Suddenly the realization sank in and we both gasped at the same time — We’d forgotten to watch LOST!
Luckily, I think we can watch the episode at abc.com today. But still…it’s not the same [...]

my lost thoughts

We finished Season 2 of LOST last night. Oh my goodness. Several episodes in a row that were just crazy! Here are some of my thoughts. (I never thought I would be a person to write my thoughts about a TV show, but…here I am.)
*Season 2 Spoiler alert*
1. Several people mentioned that we might be [...]

gonna change my way of thinking

I’ve been feeling so nostalgic the past few days. Maybe it’s because an old friend is in town visiting. But my mood has bordered on the sad.
We watched a LOST episode last night (Season 2, baby!) and Hurley was scared that everything was about to change. Locke said, “Change is good.” Hurley replied, “Everyone says [...]

monday monday monday

Happy Monday. Top thoughts of the day.
5. I hate work. The situation just gets worse. A coworker was brought into the boss’s office and berated for things she had no control over. We all pray for a way out of this office.
4. I taught Relief Society at church yesterday, and the lesson was on families [...]

SBTB!

Guess what we just purchased? Yep, Saved By The Bell Seasons 3 & 4! (I gave John Seasons 1 & 2 for Christmas.) Any guess as to what we’ve been doing lately? John and I have some specific goals we’re working on, and to stay motivated, we get rewards! This is John’s first reward for [...]

office space

My favorite item of clothing a coworker has worn – the vest with appliquéd patriotic stuff sewn on. Come on ladies, a vest? Although I enjoy the puff painted Christmas t-shirts as well…so maybe it’s a tossup.
Also, I’m going to file this one as one of life’s mysteries, but how come my coworker with diabetes [...]

obsessions and late nights

We watched the final episode of Season 1 of LOST yesterday. I am now DYING for some answers…I don’t know what Season 2 is like, but if it’s anything like the first one, they could drag this story on forever, just giving hints and bits and pieces of what’s really going on.
Well, now we have [...]

this has been a good week

I have a SparkPeople update. I weighed in on Friday, and I’ve lost another pound and a half! Which is good, because I was getting quite frustrated about the scale not budging for me. But I’ve been eating better and exercising more, and it’s starting to show. Yay me!
Someone else I know and love also [...]

you’re fired!

I had a dream last night that I was on The Apprenctice, only it wasn’t Donald Trump on the show, it was ASU President . We were all competing as we worked on the ‘task’ in order to win favor with him.
All I know is, I was terrified of him! He notices every detail, every [...]
