Um...I can't think of a title, so THIS is my title!

Today has been rather interesting. I woke up around 9 a.m. and chilled for a few minutes and then got ready to work out. I ran for a half hour and then came home and did other cool things with my workout ball thingy. Then I showered and got ready to go to my Pre-Mission Dental exam. They cleaned my teeth a bit and took some exrays and stuff and my mom (who had met me there after a meeting she had that morning) and I left with the thought of "...crap...how are we going to pay for all this!?" My mom is trying to be calm on the outside for my sake, which is really sweet. But I have a hunch she's still pretty worried. At any rate, I'm getting all four of my wisdom teeth taken out next Wednesday...and they said it's not going to be easy because of how they've grown in (especially the bottom ones) so they're sending me to a really good oral surgeon. Oh joy. :p Two weeks after that, I have to go back to get a couple fillings. Crazy. After the shock of the visit with the dentist my mom and I went to the mall to chill for a bit till it was time for me to head to work. It was kinda hard at first because I was so shocked at how much finances are just not being our friend right now, so I wasn't really hungry or fully concious of what we were doing. But I eventually snapped out of it just enough to pop out some jokes here and there and start being fun again. Haha. I love my mom. :) Anyway, we parted at 5 pm and I went to work. Tonight work went by phenominally fast! No joke! It's pretty dang rare when that happens. So now I'm sitting in Barnes and Noble, waiting for a date. Haha, I'm sure there will be at least some detail later on. Until then, my butt is falling asleep...and I have to pee.

La de da

I haven't been very good at writing my life-ness while it's still fresh in my head. I've been pretty busy with school, work, family, working on my mission papers, etc. I'm actually pretty bummed because one of my brothers and his fam are moving to Ohio for a new job he got after closing down his mortgage business in order to get more financially stable. Crazy. I'm way proud of him and happy for him, that he gets this opportunity to grow and expand in his life even more and that he doesn't have the stress of his business anymore. But I'm so sad, words cannot fully describe, that he and his wife and their little girl are moving so far away for who knows how long. I just love them so much. I just love my entire family so much. Honestly, if we could like build our own private community somewhere that would be the most awesome thing EVER and make me SO HAPPY! But, so goes life.
As for working on my mission papers, I'm about 2/3 of the way done and I can hardly wait! Because of all the doctor and dental stuff, I'll probably end up turning in my papers some time in June. But that's okay, I'm not really on a personal time limit, I just want to get it all done correctly. I am so excited to be living a life for 18 months where there isn't anything else like school or work (though I know a mission is work, that's not what I'm getting at) friends wanting to hang, family activities, and just all the other bazillion things that take time away from focussing on living the gospel. I know the challenges on a mission are entirely different, but I'm ready to have that entirely different part in my life.
Work has been pretty good lately aand today was a pretty funny day. Things have been really slow for a while, which sucks for the store, but makes time for a lot more goofing off to take place...even by the boss/owner. Haha, he can be rather interesting sometimes. But it's great. My favorite thing of today though would have to be when a mom and her daughter came in to the store. The daughter must've only been 4 or 5 and was super pretty and very sweet/soft spoken, but she totally had spunk too. So I'm standing there hanging up the newly tagged items to be put in the "new arrivals" section, and out of the corner of my eye, I see the little girl do a small skip over to the counter where my boss is talking to her mom, and then I hear her utter the words "Hey Dude..." in the sweetest, most polite way EVER, and she proceeds to say (after being corrected by her mom) "...Excuse me, Sir...howcome you can't get the Hello Kitty tent down off the shelf?" My boss proceeded to tell her that it had to stay on the shelf because it was ripped and needed to be fixed. And then she very placidly said "Oh, okay." and went back to play with her little brother whom had been brought in to the store by the grandma. Anyway, it was just super funny and gave us a good laugh. It seriously was like she just couldn't think of the correct way to start into asking a question and just said "Hey, Dude..." in hopes that it would be overlooked. Haha, I haven't been able to stop thinking about it all day.
Next for me to talk about...SCHOOL! I'm pretty much hoping that I can pass this class. I'm sure I will, but it's just so relaxed and quite boring that it's really hard for me to push myself, because I keep thinking "Oh, I don't have to have any of the homework or tests done til the end of the block, so I'm fine if I don't work on anything this week." WRONG! I'm noticing that I'm getting behind. So I need to bust my butt a tad and just plough through the homework so I'll be able to catch up and have time to study for the final exam.
Anywho, I'm pretty dang tired right now, and I've kinda just been letting my fingers type away as I sit here hoping that they're transfering things from my mind correctly, because I really haven't been paying that much attention to what I'm writing. :p

Something...ness

Today went very nicely, after math class I chilled on campus and did some homework while waiting to meet my best friend for lunch, because my mom called me and told me she wasn't feeling well so we'd just take care of the stuff tomorrow. It was lame that she wasn't feeling well, cuz I always enjoy spending time with her. But my best friend Taylor Baker came and then we saw a friend from high school and talked a bit, then Taylor and I went to a place in American Fork called The Sushi House - I treated her for her birthday that's coming up in a few days. The place looks kind of like a dump from the outside, but once you walk inside it's actually pretty cute and nice. The sushi was pretty much awesome, and I am still super stuffed from it. I don't know that it's my favorite place for sushi, though it is Taylor's. Then, I went home and attempted to do homework and some other stuff for like business, etc., but I decided to take a nap...and then watched an old tv series collection that my parents and I love, called That Girl. Now I'm just kinda getting some scrambled nonsense out of my head so hopefully I can go fall asleep in a few minutes. I really need to start going to sleep earlier. I'm looking older than I am...but not necessarily in a good way. In more of a tired, worn out way.

Oh math class...

I'm sitting in my college intermediate algebra class and wishing I were at home chillin in my pj's and doing my homework online. If this class wasn't so entertaining, I'd probably drop it simply for the fact that it's summer and my brain doesn't feel like functioning at full speed. Haha, but that's okay because I'm stimulating it so I won't be a dumby on my mission...hopefully. Anyway, I'm excited for today, because I can just feel it's going to be a good day. For instance - I pulled into the parking lot at school, and normally it's really hard to find parking, but I decided to go to one of the closest rows of student parking to the building and thought, "maybe I'll get lucky..." and then I saw the car in front of me take the last open parking spot on that row...or so I thought! There was another spot just over from them that I took while excitedly saying "IT'S MY LUCKY DAY!" hahaha Anywho...I'm basically just rambling because I'm extremely bored. But I'm excited because my mom and I are going to meet for lunch after class and then go pay my traffic ticket (which I'm not so excited for, but whatev, I'm over it.) and then I'm free for the day to chill and do math homework. I hope something fun happens to me today. Like, out of the norm. :)

On my feet and ready to run!

So, you might be saying to yourself "Oh Beth...why would you start another blog? The first one was bad enough!" But I decided that I'd like to start a blog of just my everydayness, and keep the other one for just my attempt at being a writer of sorts. So, I'm here to say HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOO WORLD! At any rate, today was interesting because I had my first day back at work in 2 weeks since I had been down with the most terrible case of the flu. I work at a cute little place called Kid To Kid, and my coming back went well, and my boss and manager were pretty nice to me. As much as I love my job though, I need to find a better source of income, and at a place where I'm a little more appreciated even so. If anyone reading this knows of any good summer jobs I could do before I go on my mission, it would be awesome if you could let me know! Haha, and yes you read right - I am serving a mission! I start my papers on May 28th and should have them turned in some time in July and have my call some time in August. I am so excited I can barely contain myself!
