Good tip for the girls

I'm not sure if everyone and their dog already knows about this, but my friend told me this neat little thing I wanted to pass along. I'm sure many of you have gotten the forward about how many germs, etc. are on the bottom of your purse (from putting them on public restroom floors, etc.). Well, my friend takes a couple of toilet seat covers and puts them on the floor (if there's no purse hook in the stall) and puts her purse on that. I thought it was a nifty idea!

Small goals lead to big successes!

I am so proud of myself! I made it to church only a few minutes late-and didn't miss the passing of the Sacrament. :)

Read the fine print, read the fine print, read the fine print

Oh man.

I cannot believe what I just almost did.

I received a pre-screened credit card offer from W.ashington Mutual a few days ago. What caught my eye about it is that it says 0% FIXED A.P.R. until October 2009!

Now, that is right up my alley. I'm in so much debt (mostly medical) it's awful.

I'm going through some bills and was going to start the paperwork...

And after reading the entire thing again, I see that it's on PURCHASES. Not on balance transfers.

Man, I am so thankful I read the fine print!

Expansion on stuff

Part of the reason I began this blog, er...my private blog, in 2005 was to help me to write better. Haha, or speak better. I don't know. But, sometimes, I have trouble expressing myself. What better way to practice than by writing?

There are some things going in California that are wrong on so many levels, and all it makes me want to do is curl up in a ball and cry. I have been worrying a lot lately about how I will survive, make it in this state, ever gain some independence, etc. One thing that is wrong is what I've been hearing about the housing/foreclosure crisis here. I FULLY DISAGREE THAT TAX-PAYER MONEY should be used to help out the people who are now in trouble. It's not my fault that they didn't read their mortgage contract. This is wrong.

Here are some interesting links that I will share for your reading pleasure:

1). Read this one.

2). And then read this one.

Life is hard

I had quite the object lesson in that today.

On what's been going on

I'm off f.acebook for tonight. Yay. I will not be logging back on this evening. I will be disciplined and will follow through with what I say (er, write).

I walked 2.5 miles @ the park today, and then this evening I went for another walk with my mom. It was nice. Walked by my ex's house and saw his "girlfriend's" car and his kids. That was yuck for me. Glad my mom was with me. It was yuck because she is mental. Not yuck because I still have feelings for him or anything like that. I so do not have feelings for this one anymore (RJ). If only that would happen with another person!

I made dinner tonight. Tuna helper. And, there was rejoicing. If you knew me, you'd know that is a big deal because I don't cook and don't know how to.

I gave a talk in church last week. Here is the link to it. I fully rocked it. :) There were many reasons why I chose this talk. Granted, my topic was: Being a Disciple of Christ. But, as I searched through the website, part of what caught my eye here was that it was from 1985. (That was 3 years before I was baptized.) I like to find "old" Conference or Ensign talks and see how much they relate to present day. :) Also, I didn't do the usual spin like, "Today, I was asked to speak on blah blah blah..." or try to make a funny joke beforehand. I can't tell you how many people came up to me after Sacrament and thanked/complimented me on the talk. :)

I am so not making this up

I just read this, and it's scary on so many levels. So, I am looking...but there has to be someone else out there besides this!

I was born into the church but not active later in life all the time. I need to find a future eternal mate for me to have someone to sit with in church and go more regularly again. It's boring sitting by yourself and everyone else is so young at my ward. I am kind of a nudist and enjoy being nude, mostly around the house. I am very comfortable with my body.

Fiber One

Yes, I am eating this cereal as I type this post and try to prep for my day tomorrow.

Oh, BTW, it's my birthday today.

The one where being single blows

I have a story to share from l.dsplanet this afternoon.

OK. So, I'm playing around and looking at profiles, etc. Granted, this isn't my first choice of how I'd meet guys, but beggars can't be choosers. (HA!) Or choosy?

Anyways, I get an instant message from a guy who lives about 3 hours south of me. He asks me how I am doing, then says/writes:

Call me (and gives me his number)

Uh.....no thank you, thinks I.

So, as to not be rude, I write back and tell him that I'm not comfortable doing that (we just "met") and maybe we could chat for a bit and see how things go. He then writes, "Call you". Doesn't ask me, mind you.

(Now, my friend says I'm too judgmental about men who can't spell. I'm not being judgmental, just taking stock of things.)

I replied with, "Sorry?"

And then he CLOSED the chat request!
.
.

So, guess what I did?

I blocked him from seeing my profile!

On me, right now

Well, I'm still not off f.acebook yet, so that has really interrupted my time to post on my blog. I need to fix that.

I am speaking in Church on Sunday. I asked my Bishop if it was because it's my birthday on Sunday...he said it wasn't, but what better reason (his words). He asked he how I am doing, and I told him fine except that I'm still struggling to get to church on time. Then, he delivered his, "Well, I need you to be at church on this next Sunday." And then you can fill in the rest. My topic is, "Being a Disciple of Christ."

Crud. I just remembered I was going to work out again tonight when I got home from school. It's 9 PM and I didn't do anything except sit here and read blogs. Bleh.

Current events: That Governor and his wife. I don't really have much to comment on about that right now, except that on the news I was listening to today, his wife was getting so much flack. I haven't had a chance to follow much (she held his hand one day and then she didn't?) but my only thing is that she loves him. Finding out what he did doesn't change the fact that she love/d him.

On things that don't make sense

I am playing around on l.dsplanet right now. I am so floored I just had to post this. This is from a guy in Boise. He says:

and I'd like to one day have a family to go to church with. I just don't know about the temple.

Is this what I have to look forward to?

Things that are gross, part #2

My tooth.

My abscessed tooth rather.

When I bend down to kiss either Nephew #1 or #2, I get a shooting pain that radiates to my ear.






What are the odds that I have a sinus infection instead?

Things that are gross

Last night at the 9.9 cent store, I noticed that my checker was wearing a very thin tank top.

I also noticed that she...

needs a new razor.

My eyes did not need to see what they did! As I was walking out with my items, I threw up a little bit in my mouth.

GROSS!

The things we do for friends

1). Friend asked me to be in her wedding in June: check.
2). Friend showed me which dress to order on website costing $100+: check.
3). Telling said friend that dress does not fit and not clothes-friendly. (Those who are LDS will understand what I mean.): check.
4). Returning said dress to company, costing me more than $8 in shipping: check.
5). Losing at least 15% of my money since I have to exchange the dress for something else: check.

The wrong thing to call me

When a guy on l.dsplanet says to me, "Your a hottie!" I can pretty much tell you that our conversations aren't going to go any further.
