Purely For Assignment

I am on a bit of a rush right now, so this blog post probably won't be very interesting. In fact, you can just stop reading now. But guaranteed you'll read more. Did you read this sentence?

Well, I'm going to write some of my life aspirations. That's a pretty good blog post, I guess. More like a journal entry.

1. Do an Ironman

2. Do a marathon (I guess this should go before #1)

3. Get a master's degree (MBA?)

4. Get married

5. Have a baby

And now some hobbies/talents/stuff I'd love to be good at or better at:

1. Tennis

2. Taking photos

3. Photoshop

4. Cutting hair

5. Excel

6. Cooking

7. Racquetball

8. HTML

9. Computers

10. Sewing

That's all. And this sentence is purely to take up space and to make my 150 word quota for my assignment. (See here.)

Sorry it's so boring folks!

Random Gladness

This post is going to be about things that I am grateful for - those random things that you never think about but are SO nice to have!

So here it is! A list of some random objects that make me happy:

Chapstick

This stuff saves me at work! My lips can get so dry and I am constantly putting on chapstick. I like to have some in every purse and then some around the house too.

Milk

And not just any milk...SKIM MILK! I adore skim milk and I think any other kind of milk (i.e. whole, 2%, even 1%) is disgusting. Yes, I can tell the difference. Every meal should be finished with a nice glass of cold milk. The colder the better. Sometimes I even put ice cubes in my milk to make it colder. Call me crazy, but I love it. Speaking of milk, this stuff goes great in it...

Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds

If there's one thing I could live off of forever, it would be Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds. There's probably been at least a few days where that's all I've eaten--breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. It's just so delicious! Probably not terribly nutritious, but I still love it.

Calendars

I'm probably a bit of an organization freak. And a calendar is a must have for me. I write down birthdays, tests, school assignments, work schedules, other important dates, appointments and many other things on my calendar. So thank you to whoever invented the idea of listing the days of the year! I would be lost without you.

My Fuzzy Flip Flops!

I wear these everywhere and have decided that everyone needs a pair of fuzzy flip flops. They are so comfy! Thanks to Mallory and Kate for this wonderful birthday gift. They have been used well.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>

This concludes my list of things that make me happy. I will probably continue to add to it, because one can never be too grateful!

Lake Powell

I had an awesome time last week at Lake Powell with my family. Nothing can beat that! I wish I could stay there another week. So here's my Top 5 Favorite Things from Lake Powell list....

#5: Hiking

We went an this amazing 6-hour slot-canyonish hike with 21 people. It was full of sweet rappels and tricky holes we had to maneuver around. Some of it was pretty difficult. We all had to help each other out.

#4: Rad Tubing

My uncle was so nice to take us tubing on his boat and it was way fun! I had a blast and couldn't stop laughing for whole rides at a time.

#3: Playing Cards (Rook, Scum, Hearts, ...)

I am a card freak. And Lake Powell is the place to play cards. My favorite is Rook--definitely the most strategic game I've ever seen.

#2: Wicked Water Skiing

Slalom skiing, of course. This is by far one of my most favorite activities! And now I want to go all the time! So if you have a boat..... :)

#1: Being with my Family!

[Sorry, I couldn't find a picture]

I know, cheese alert! But really, this is the part I love about going to Lake Powell--the family being forced to live together for one week on one tiny boat--awesome! Love you guys!
