I Endured Turning 30!!!

I'm such a blogger slacker.  I have thought of many great posts or had random thoughts, but have yet to make the time to blog.  While I avoid getting out of bed this Saturday (i have already showered though) I thought it would be an appropriate time to just share a little thought.  It's not profound or anything special, but I just didn't want to be silent anymore.
I was such a basket case leading up to my birthday.  I think I have slight case of Fragapane Phobia...fear of Birthdays (if that is the wrong term then just go with it still).  Ever since I turned 20 I have seriously hated birthdays.  I get all weird and after the first of the year I basically start to age myself and say I'm almost whatever year I am about to turn.  Who does that?  Why the heck do I start to age myself before it's time?  Anyway, I try to avoid talking about my birthday, I cry, I get this internal panic like I haven't accomplished what someone my age should...I know I'm crazy huh.
I am always pleased when the day is done.  Done because I don't have to think about it for another year, but mainly because I always have such great things happen.  I have so many people who love me and make sure it's my special day (or week this year).  I love presents too!  I got some really great and thoughtful presents and birthday wishes this year and it just makes me appreciate life so much more.  I am 30.  It's a new age group where you think more things are expected of you, but I will show this year what I am made of and I'm going to be a better and hotter 30 year old than I was a 29 year old.
Don't hate me if I start to say I'm twenty ten though. ;)

I will Survive!

I got a job, took me one month...but I think I have my foot in the door finally for design.  It's just a secretary job, but it's an aspect of design I can learn about and eventually help design. :)  I think I'll still have to get a night job to get enough money to survive, but I will Survive!

Giga Pet

Remember the days when little girls like my sister had Giga pets, you know the key chain that was a virtual pet?  I never got into them.  I thought they were stupid.  This little 1 inch screen with a pixelated creature that needed attention.  I guess there was a way to feed it when it was hungry, play with it when it was bored, watch it sleep, and they could even die if you ignored it (tell me if I'm wrong).  Kinda creepy if you ask me...that's why I don't think we see them around anymore. 
Last night I got the feeling like my smart phone needed too much attention from me.  I still don't know what the heck I'm doing with that thing.  It would take 5 steps for me to even dial 911 so I pray I will never be in an emergency because I would be too flustered to know how to get to the dial pad.  Anyway, last night and many other times it informs me of my possible updates.  I usually ignore them, but I guess it is important for the functionality of my apps to be updated.
I just get the feeling that those who played with such things like virtual pets were more prepared to take on a smart phone than me.  My sister knows so much more and it shows.
Yeah well I'm way better at taking care of a real animal than her ;).
Love you Lindsey!

Here I am...

I did it, well 2 weeks ago I did it.  I moved to Salt Lake City, Utah.  Why you ask?  I'm a crazy nut that's why.  As before mentioned I needed change.  Change is good huh?  I'm kinda still waiting for that good part to start.  I am currently freaking out because I have yet to find a job.  If you know me or stumble across my blog for some reason please oh please say a prayer I will find a job soon.  It has been only 2 weeks and I know the average unemployment time is 6 months, but I just can't do 6 months!  Holy Moly I would not know what to do.
I have had some pretty great times here and some pretty awful times as well...ok just one really awful moment when my car got towed and cost me $275 to get out, but still that guy needs to rot in hell.  Yes, I think he is an awful guy to tow my car and because of how he treated me.  If you are a Facebook friend I'm sure you read all about it in my status.  It just wasn't a good way to start off the fresh start is all.
Tomorrow is Monday and it's going to be a great week.  A great week because I will find a job (look at me being all positive) and I will be grateful for what I have.

I will find a job, I will find a job, I will find a great job.  I will be successful!

Amen.

You mess with me and I will chase you down!

I had a lovely Friday especially since I got to hang out all day with my great friend Jana.  We made ourselves look mighty fine for another dear friends wedding.  She got married in the Spokane Washington Temple and I AM FINALLY ABLE TO GO SEE FRIENDS GET MARRIED!!!  I just love it, but it was a very tender event to watch.  I am so grateful to have been able to be there.

 

 Rhianna Reed Stroh is now a married woman!  She did everything vintage and I wish I had photos of all the details from her reception.  Oh and I've never seen someone have so many cakes!
After driving back from the reception Jana and I were run off the road by an idiot driver.  Blasted Montana driver...and to think that's the state I was born in.  Shameful really.  He was a bully driver and if I would have tapped my breaks he would have hit me.  I put my blinker to get over, but couldn't because of all the cars coming on to the freeway and no one likes a jerk who wont let them get on.  Anyway soon after as I was still passing people he decided to get in the right lane and run me off the road to get ahead of me.  I truly had to get on the shoulder of the freeway to save our lives.  Then for the next 8-10 miles I chased him down to get his plate number.  I called the police and let them know of the idiot driver.  He was a bully driver and not to just me.  I hope they got him.  That fool!  You mess with me and I will chase you down!

Single Ward Drop Out ??? Time to?

I'm 29 and I still attend a singles ward.  When I was 19 and away from home my home ward was dissolved and my home ward was split into two stakes and a few wards.  I came home to no home ward so I decided to start to go to a singles ward.  It really was the appropriate choice for a college student to make.  I have enjoyed many years in the wards while being single, but I feel it's time for a change.
Why the change?  I know I'm still single, but Sunday I was late for sacrament and there was a young guy sitting out there and to be friendly I asked if he was going to the local college.  He said yes, and I asked what he was studying.  He answered and I commented.  Then he said yeah I think I saw you there huh.  I said probably not, I went there when you were a child.  He said he was almost 21 so he doubted it.  I thought for a second doing some math in my head and he was for real a child!  I was there like 9 years ago.  He was 11, not even old enough to pass the sacrament.  Although he still kept flattering me by my youthful looks I knew the truth and it kinda bothered me.  What am I doing in a ward full of super young people?  I'm not a cougar yet!  Maybe if I was 40 and dating a successful 30 year old stud I would be, but to be a cougar there needs to be a 10 year age difference and well....I don't want to temp myself with these children.
My goal right now is to move.  Move where there is more options...and not just in the man field, but also the job market too.
I keep thinking about some comment my uncle made to my cousin who is just a bit older than me.  I don't know why things this set of cousins say to me just stick in my head.  For example, when I was a child they told me about a scary movie where a lady went to the bathroom in the dark and a snake went up her butt....I still have to look in the toilet and for sure have light on while I pee.  Also, I developed faster than one of them who was a few years older than me and she told me guys don't like more than a handful.  I was a D by the time I was in the 7th grade!  What's a girl to think!  I thought no guy would like me because my boobs were too big. ha ha ha.  Ok, back to my point... My uncle told my cousin, his baby girl, that her eggs were drying out.  I know it was a joke, but I need to get more serious here people.  I love being single, but it's time I get a desire for more huh?

I just haven't met you yet

I just like this song by Michael Buble.  Seems fitting right now in my life.
How dare Michael for getting engaged though...dashing away those dreams and all.

I'm Not Surprised
Not Everything Lasts
Have Broken My Heart So Many Times,
I Stopped Keepin Track.
Talk Myself In
I Talk Myself Out
I Get All Worked Up
Then I Let Myself Down.

I Tried So Very Hard Not To Lose It
I Came Up With A Million Excuses
I Thought I Thought Of Every Possibility

And I Now Someday That It'll All Turn Out
You'll Make Me Work So We Can Work To Work It Out
And I Promise You Kid That I'll Give So Much More Than I Get
I Just Haven't Met You Yet

I Might Have To Wait
I'll Never Give Up
I Guess It's Half Time
And The Other Half's Luck
Wherever You Are
Whenever It's Right
You Come Out Of Nowhere And Into My Life

And I Know That We Can Be So Amazing
And Baby Your Love Is Gonna Change Me
And Now I Can See Every Possibility

And Somehow I Know That Will All Turn Out
And You'll Make Me Work So We Can Work To Work It Out
And I Promise You Kid I'll Give So Much More Than I Get
I Just Haven't Met You Yet

They Say All's Fair
And In Love And War
But I Won't Need To Fight It
We'll Get It By It ??
To Be United

And I Know That We Can Be So Amazing
And Being In Your Life Is Gonna Change Me
And Now I Can See Every Single Possibility

And Someday I Know It'll All Turn Out
And I'll Work To Work It Out
Promise You Kid I'll Give More Than I Get
Than I Get Than I Get han I Get

Oh You Know It Will All Turn Out
And You'll Make Me Work So We Can Work To Work It Out
And I Promise You Kid To Give So Much More Than I Get
Yeah I Just Haven't Met You Yet

I Just Haven't Met You Yet
Oh Promise You Kid
To Give So Much More Than I Get
