5 things about me

1. When I sleep, the sheets have to be just right and I get upset with Goodlooking if he messes them up. I get annoyed when the bottom fitted sheet gets wrinkled. It needs to be pulled tight around the corners. I like the flat sheet to be slightly longer than the top so I can fold it over the comforter. Also, I don’t like the sheet to be tucked into the end of the bed (which makes all the other qualifications harder to accomplish).
2. I hate being late, and what’s worse is when someone else is late. At my work, it is important to be on time because if you are late that puts everyone, including me, behind schedule. If you are going to be even 4 minutes late to an appointment, you really need to call. It is common courtesy. Most of the time (only at work), I would rather someone call and reschedule than be 10 minutes late (unless there is no one after you but how would you know).
3. I don’t like talking on the phone. I would much rather talk to you face to face (unless it is something confrontational, in that case I will take the phone). I have a need to see your facial expressions and that way I can tell what your really think. Also, I don’t like leaving messages so don’t feel too bad if I don’t leave one. Just call me back.
4. I get overly excited about things and I count down the days to pretty much anything.
5. I really don’t like it when people whisper around me. It makes me feel like they are talking about me so I get really self conscience. I kind of upsets me and I have to know what people are talking about.

Random things to update with

It seems like every year the Christmas music comes earlier and earlier and that the stores start putting out their Christmas stuff early. This year, I think they both crossed the line. It seems like Thanksgiving is being forgotten by both. I, however waited till after Thanksgiving to put up the tree and listen to the carols.
I think I get more excited about the holidays now that I am married, because it means I get to escape the Provo bubble and visit family whether it be in Idaho, Tucson, Pima, or even Mapleton. This year, Goodlooking and I get to go to Arizona to see both of our family homes.
Thanksgiving was a lot of fun. Goodlooking and I went up to Idaho and stayed and grandma's. We ate at Karen's and played games. Small Parcel, Grandma, and I made candy and we got to have fajitas on Sunday before coming home.
One of my favorite Christmas was last year. We (Goodlooking and I) went to Arizona and stayed the first few days in Tucson. Christmas Eve, we played Wii with my little brother till about 3 in the A.M. when we started our long treck to Bryce. Then we surprised Goodlooking's family by being there earlier than breakfast. It was really fun to experience Christmas morning with the Bryce’s. We all opened stockings together then went back to bed. Then we had breakfast and it was all a lot of fun.

So, I just requested my math110 final so I can take it and have this math behind me hopefully for good. It has been a long journey full of tears, guessing, frustrations, and hours in the library. I think (and the website tracks this) I spent a total of 150 hours working on this stupid thing (does not include all the time spent thinking about how dumb math really is (come on imaginary numbers… are you kidding me?!))

Also, I am thinking about (and probably am going to) taking public speech online next. I think it will be fun and somewhat hard. I like the idea because for the speeches, I just have to send in a tape recording of my speech… which is better than having to dress up and get in front of a bunch of people I don’t know. This shouldn’t bother me at all because I was in theatre for two years doing monologues, duo scenes and full on two act plays and one musical.

My week off

I had a great time in Tucson and I suprised my mother into tears. I really did have a great time but it was so stinkin' hot I just barely got back to my cold self.
Thank you Brittany for being so great and picking me up
Christie for being pregnant
Mom and Dad for taking me to the airport.

I really need someone to decorate my blog. It is so boring and I look at other people's blog and it is so cute. Someone please tell me how it is done.

My Problems

It's not all that big of a deal excpet I am a failure at math. I am NOT doing so great and that sucks.
I takes me about ten minutes to do one problem and then I get it wrong just to find out that I didn't have the "+" sign in place. UGH!!!!
I just kind of want to give up but it is WAY past the time that I could do that without a penalty pointing toward my GPA and my personal thoughts of myself. So, I will continue on with the class and hope that I can do better with the special effort I am putting into it these next few weeks to get it done.

On a less depressing note, I made a card today with my scrapbooking skills and it looks fabulous. In the picture it looks like I was supposed to use ribbon, but I don't have anything cool like that. I just used some different paper and it turned out fine.
I am really excited for what is going to happen in the next week. I can't say anything about it but there will be a follow up blog to tell my readers(not that I have any yet) all about it.
