So my life is not very exciting, but it's been a few weeks since an update so I figured it might be nice to blog for a little bit.
READING:
I finished a new series by Scott Westerfeld and it's called "Midnighters." And again, I love Scott Westerfeld so of course I loved these books. They are young adult fiction and they've got a mixture of fantasy and sci-fi stuff. And honestly, normally I am not a huge fan of fantasy, sci-fi novels, but I loved it. He is such a talented author and it's great. Right now I am reading "Anne of Green Gables" and it is also very fantastic. If you like the movies, you'll like the book. It makes me want to watch the movies so bad! I just love them.
WORK:
My job has not been as bad as I thought it would be. I'm actually enjoying myself this summer. We have a great staff and I work with a really good group of kids. They are so much fun and I have been given a new nickname: Mom. I'm one of the oldest guards and I have this Old Navy bag that acts as Mary Poppins bag. Advil, I have it. Extra shirt, I have it. Sunglasses, gotcha covered. Fork? Definately. So they decided that I'm like a mom because I have everything with me and I "take care of them." Mom it is! :)
MORE WORK:
I'm in the process of finding a second job. There might be a tech position open at a hospital where my friend works and I'm hoping that really works out! I would love to work there and it's such a great environment. There might also be a day care job awaiting me as well so we'll see! I'll let you know how it goes.
Unfortunately I have no super exciting news, fun stories, or pictures, but I'm hoping I will soon. Have fun and take luck!

Tuesday, May 5, 2009
I always feel so bad when I'm thinking, "How come no one updates their blogs?" And then I look at mine... yeah, I got nothing. Lol. So it's not an update of epic proportions, but it's to let you all know, I'm still alive! :)
I had my first day back at work yesterday which went WAY better than I thought it would. People were excited to see me, I was excited to see them, no one died, it was great! I'm so glad it started on a positive note, and I'm going to try to keep the positivity going through out the summer.
I've also been babysitting, a ton! Which has been so much fun. I love it. If there is anything I miss from home besides my family, it's little kids. I love kids! And I miss being able to see them and play with them. So I love being able to babysit again. It's been a lot of fun.
So I've had glasses for about 7 years and on Saturday I got contacts! It's been a little rough, not going to lie. The first day I wore them, I was told to only wear them for 4 hours and then I needed to wear my glasses. And each day I was supposed to add 2 more hours. Well, the main problem with this is that my prescription changed, and the lenses for my glasses weren't going to be available till Wednesday. So I would be wearing the correct prescription for a few hours, and then change to a not correct prescription for the rest of the day. Day one was a nightmare. I had my contacts in for 4 hours, took them out, and put on my glasses. Slowly but surely I started to get this INSANE headache. But I was like, deal with it. It'll be ok. Move on. That night was the Saturday session of Stake Conference and we had a General Authority, 1rst Counselor Bishop Edgely, speaking to us, and I went early to save seats for me and my parents. We were sitting front row and my headache was starting to diminish. Or so I thought. We've got 30 - 45 minutes left, Bishop (is that his title?) Edgely was speaking and I am about to pass out. My head was killing me, I wanted to pass out, and I was feeling very naucious. My dad tapped me on the knee and asked if I was ok and I just shook my head no and said that I needed to go home. I was totally embarrassed because here we are sitting front row and both me and my mom (she had to drive me because I couldn't drive myself) walk out in the middle of his talk! Ugh. I felt really bad. I came home, took a bubble bath, and went to bed. And man, my headache was killer. I wanted to pass out all night long. So, contact #1 lesson learned: Wear your old glasses for the first few hours of the day, and THEN change into your contacts. This eliminates the headache. :)
Other than that, I can't think of anything else too exciting or cool. Life is just going right now. I'll be sure to post some pictures soon and I'll let you know when something exciting or blogging worthy material comes up! See ya!
