Thinking about life

I have so much that I am supposed to do and most of it I just don't want to but I should and I end up doing it. There are also so many things that I want to do but don't have time for and so they never get done. I do not want this blog to be like one of those things that I do that I quit not too long after I started like me being an accounting major.

Mocktails! And cool beans!

Mocktails: virgin cocktails; fake cocktail.

Some make this a theme for a party for an underage girl's birthday party, some for a baby shower, and some for bridal showers. We had one just because. I threw it to celebrate all the fun and great things happening to us. We have each other. Amanda and I got accepted to and plan on attending BYU Idaho. I will start in the spring and she will come join me in the fall. We are all still very close and There is so much to be grateful for and enjoy. At the last minute I decided that we were also celebrating that the tsunami did not destroy us and that no damage (or not a lot of damage) happened to our side of the island. We celebrated with just a few drinks but we had plenty to drink. We started off with a batman cocktail which is virgin to begin with. It is just a concoction of orange juice, grenadine and club soda. Honestly I expected more from it and a darker richer taste. For me it tasted odd but at the same time I did not add ice and there was no measurement for the club soda. As we all got comfortable and waited for others who were invited to arrive we started the next drink. It was suppose to be Hawaiian passion punch which included POG, so everyone was excited! As we poured the drinks into the blender bugs rose in the liquid and maggots were found crawling around the top. It was gross but it kept us entertained all night. It was a great night and there was uncontrollable laughing by me. I definitely had way too much to drink. My words were slurred and I was having trouble walking straight. Wow sugar is a powerful stimulant. I woke up the next day with a major headache and complete grogginess. If I didn't know better I would be concerned there was alcohol in the drinks but I check the labels and there was only lots of sugar. Well that was the weekend. It was so much fun we are going to do it again soon as a goodbye party for yours truly.

Some extra special on the side news:
I finished the middle panel today!!!!!!!!!!! It looks so good and it's really really long.I'll upload some pictures in the next few days and compare it to someone (probably myself) to show the craziness of the length. Basically it could be my blanket but just wait and see. Well I'm off to do some more of the things I do. Until next time.

T Day!!!!

As I was sitting knitting and watching Big Bang Theory when my boss messaged me at 8 letting me know that there was going to be a tsunami at 3 am. I went downstairs to ask the RA if we need to start preparing, they said no that it is just a watch and sent me away. I went upstairs and something did not feel right. I talked to my relief society president and we started getting the ward ready for the attack. Not an hour later it turned into a warning. I have been just sitting around trying to help as many people as I can and have started preparing for the worst. I have also kept my mother updated on my happenings along with Ben. Ben is so sweet, he called me and kept texting me until I responded letting him know I was okay. that was so nice of him, Elke met up with me and now we are upstairs just on the comps and hanging out. My screen is really bright and my comp won't let me adjust it so I am going to restart it and hope it fixes it. It did. Not long after my comp restarted I decided that I did not care if the tsunami got to me anymore I was more tired than anything else. I went to bed probably about 3 4 ish and my body woke me up at 6. Nothing had happened in my sleep. Elke and I were happy that nothing too bad happened in the night. We got ready to go to sleep and then the texts and calls and emails came. They read that school is open and that we need to go to class. We read the messages, heard the calls and said, "What the heck? We have been up all night, school should be closed so we can get some sleep..." These messages were of course sent a few minutes before my first class. I didn't have time to shower or change because I was going to be late. I almost ran to my class hoping it would be just extra credit or a super easy day. I get there and the door is locked and no one else was around. I then went to the seasider to get some food, tsunamis always make me hungry. The seasider was closed so I walked back to class to see if anyone decided to show up, there is a little torn up piece of paper that said my class was canceled. I almost didn't want to believe it but I really wanted to shower and wake up a bit. I then went home and got ready for work. No one had been in the office that morning and I was almost scared that I was in trouble that I was a few minutes late just because there was no coverage of the building. I wasn't and as soon as I got off from work I went home laid down and finally got some rest. Now it's about 7 my time and I am so hungry and in need of entertainment. I think I'm going to watch the TV movie Alice that came out last year, and eat some Spaghetti-O's, popcorn, and pickles. mmmmm food. If I finish my food before the movie/show thing is over hopefully I can finish my second panel today. I have been working on this panel for what feels like almost too long but that's fine. I've been busy and stuff. Well I hope that none of your friends, family, or someone you may have know was in the earthquake. If they were, they will in the prayers of many and mine. Now it is time for food and to make sure I have everything ready for our mocktail party tomorrow night. Now we are going to be celebrating that we survived. Until next time.

Mistakes happen even to the best of us...

Sometimes along the way we fall and make mistakes, I made a nasty one that led to a series of problems... I am of course talking about my knitting.... I switched a stitch and has messed up about twelve rows. Oh well, now I have something that looks kind of cool, no worries though, I will fix it as I watch Big Bang theory. I think I made the mistake in religion class. On a separate note, I got my best friend into a great show. He is now hooked on.....  drum roll please.... (insert a drum roll).... Castle! Oh how I love that I have finally shown him something that he actually likes. I tries leverage but he was indifferent to it. He however enjoyed Nightmare Before Christmas! We watched it on christmas together. He is seriously one of the nicest people I have ever met. There is something about him that is so warm and welcoming and trustworthy. I trust him with my life. Last night we had an interesting chat and I found out that my personality type is a four, this is like the pained artist personality. Here is a link that describes my personality....http://www.enneagraminstitute.com/typefour.asp#arrows. But anyhow back to the knitting... I don't know if I can finish this blanket before the birth of the baby.... I need to concentrate on school so I can graduate but I am finding nothing interesting in my classes for me to focus on. I think that because I can see that the finish line is so close that I just want to finish, be done, party, then get the heck out of here. ^-^ I mean that in a nice way, who doesn't enjoy being a slave to something? Well that is me to school... I'm also thinking about starting another blog... It shall be something like a bucket list but we shall see how long I can keep it up. I want for this one to have at least a post a week. I love writing on here, I can get all my emotions out even though I am not writing about them. I feel so much more calm, energetic and just overall happier. This blog is an accomplishment and I hope that someday I can keep a regular beat to it. Well it is time for me to get ready for the day and study my butt off, gotta pass the classes. Until next time.
