Snow in September...

As I was driving in the canyon to work; I noticed that as I got higher into the mountains it was snowing. Not just a few little flakes, but huge massive flakes and lots of them. I was thinking it is only September, it cannot start snowing now. If this continues we are going to have a long winter, which I am not looking forward to. Who wants to watch football games in the snow? Who likes when there is snow on Halloween? Not me! I hate it. Why do I live in Utah when I hate the snow. We have probably have 4 months of snow and I enjoy probably only the first day of it. It has just barely started and I am ready for it to go away!


* This is what I drove to work in!

Weber State...Great Great Great!

I am passionate about football. The obsession started in high school when I performed at the half times and had friends who were on the team. I never missed a game. My parents had reserved seating even after I graduated so we could have decent seats at the games. I love everything about the games; from the kids with painted faces, drinking hot chocolate, watching the cheerleaders and dancers, and of course the hot football players.

One of my really good friends is the punter for Weber State. He is really amazing. I used to go to the game in high school just to watch him, not only because he was good, but I kinda had a crush on him. So he invited me to their first home game of the season, so I grabbed my sister and we went to the game. It was so much fun, we braved the pooring rain, and freezing cold temperatures. Even though they lost it was still really fun to see him play again.

I cant wait until their next home game to go watch him again. We had such a good time, and I think next year I am going to buy season tickets!

Running...

I hate to run. I think it is torture. I haven't gone running since I was on the high school drill team, which was a long time ago. I have come to the conclusion that I dont like it because nothing about it entertains me. I am all for taking an aerobics class where you can laugh at all the uncoordinated ladies and the teacher in her spandex and thong leotard. Running on the other hand..BORING... So I have noticed lately that I have gained a little weight, not a lot, but I can certainly tell. It has all gone to my boobs. They are almost the same size as my mom who is HUGE..haha. I had to go buy a new bra because before I was overflowing. So tonight I went and worked out. It was actually refreshing for once. I think that I will make it a new habit. I really just dont want my big boobs anymore. I am going to try any talk my mom into coming with me next time. Hopefully she will come because I am certain it will make it her feel better.

* just so you know I have always wanted bigger boobs, but once you have them they are just a pain like everyone says!

Changing the world..

When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits, I dreamed of changing the world… As I grew older and wiser, I realized the word would not change… and I decided to shorten my sights, somewhat and change only my country, but it too seemed immovable.. As I entered my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt, I sought to change only my family, those closest to me, but alas they would have none of it. And now here I lie on my death bed and realize that if only I’d changed myself first, then by example I may have influenced my family, and with their encouragement and support. I may have bettered my country, and who knows, I may have changed the world.- Unknown
