A Little of This, A Little of That

Since today is the one month anniverary of my birthday, I was determined to blog report about my trip to Las Vegas, but I just don't feel like it. So instead I"m going to share some other random going-ons from my life.


*I would never have guessed that something like this would happen to me, but it seems that Rexburg, Idaho has become a premiere vacation destination for me. Since arriving in Utah I have been there three times. While the very idea of this seems odd to my Manhattan sensibilities, I do have to say that it is a lovely spot. I was there this weekend and was liberated from my life-long misunderstanding that I don't like fish. Turns out I LOVE fish. Now I just have to convince Michael to go fishing more often (shouldn't be hard) and figure out how to cook them up so yummy myself (could be a bit more difficult)


* after five weeks in my new place (but only being home one of those weekends), I am happy to announce that I have finally hung up all my clothes and organized my underwear. This should make getting ready in the morning a fair shake easier. My bedroom is still a disater though. Good thing I sleep in the living room. (Just FYI, the kitchen has been done for weeks. I love love love love love love love having my own kitchen.)


* Upon arriving home from my Christmas trip to Michigan I realized that in five months since I left New York, I have driven across the country FIVE times. I've put more than 12,000 miles on my car the six months I've owned it and keep it mind that it was stolen for one of those months. I've decided that I"m ready to just be at home for a little while. At least that was the plan, but I was in Idaho last weekend and I'll be in Provo next weekend. Maybe in February I'll be able to have a little bit of time without traveling. But who am I kidding-- if a good offer comes up, I'll take it.



*I love my iPhone. I don't know what I'd do without it. I can't figure out how so many of you go about your day-to-day lives without one.

* Michael recently told me that he likes me more than his guns. If you know Michael (which I guess none of you do) you would understand that this was quite a compliment. (now that I think about it, he might have said gun singular, not guns plural. either way, i think this is a major development for him.)


*I used to be confused and slighly annoyed by people who hated snow. Now I understand. I"m sorry for being so hard-hearted before. Because now I know that its not just the snow, its the salt. Also, snow that stays on the ground for more than 3 days is just plain lame.

* In case you were wondering, my job is going great! I love it and I love my co-workers and I super love all the great stuff I"m learning. I feel so blessed in this aspect of my life. My new church congregation also seems really great.

Loved seeing you at Christmas. Thanks for driving across the country AGAIN--you always liven up the family shindigs(sp? Ya, I English major).

I manage to get along by using Matt's iphone when he's around and the three year old is not playing doodle buddy or taking pictures with it. I'm addicted to boggle.
