Sick

Oh man I have never been so sick as I was on Monday!
The pictures pretty much describe how I was feeling...

This is an image from the tea party at night. I wanted to share a picture from that night.

Thanks again for everyone who helped! The night turned out beautiful and Justin and I had great time seeing everyone.

Hair

So I have decided to grow my hair out and donate it to locks of love. I am super excited to do IT! It has been forever since I have had long hair!!! I hope I can be patient enough to let it grow.

Sunset in summer

This is the fog rolling in from the ocean at Fremont Peak in California. I still can't believe I took this picture...

GO OLYMPICS!!

So the Olympics have been so awesome!

New Animated Disney Movie

So for those of you who like movies...
Disney has a new animated movie coming out this year called "The Princess and the Frog". It looks pretty cute, check out the teaser trailer at Disney.go.com. I am a little excited :) This is the first hand drawn animated movie in a while. Check it out and tell me what you think!

Rain and Mud

Saturday Justin and I rode to my parents house to do laundry. It was a beautiful morning and the ride was pleasant. We finished all our laundry and spent the day hanging out with family and relaxing. Just as we were about to leave it started pouring. I have never seen so much rain at once! We left after it had rained and cleared up. About the time we got to Lindon it starts to rain again... so we stop at a business and wait under their awning for it to clear up. I got a bit worried and was thinking; "what if it gets super wet on Geneva road and we get totally splashed... "
So we call my parents, but by the time we get to talking it has cleared up again. So we decide to continue to ride. Well It starts to sprinkle it was nice than it just started to rain from 1600 in Orem and whole rest of the way home. We were completely soaked and muddy! I was irritated with Justin about the time we hit Provo. It was fun to ride in the rain at first but then it was just crappy. Justin was laughing manically most of the way and really enjoying himself :) I was miserable by the time we got home.
On the upside I am soooo grateful that we have a storage room! We were able to hang all our wet and muddy cloths up, and keep our house relatively mud and rain free!

Trash

So I was thinking the other day bout trash and how much of it there is. Then I thought, what if I kept a journal of all the things I throw away (like people do for food and other things). I started thinking about my day and what I had thrown away that could have been recycled or used again. The red cups I use everyday at work came to mind. Usually I use one every day. I have been throwing them away without any thought for about 5 years. I was thinking in one month I would have used about 31 cups! And that is just at work! Then I began thinking about how many that would be in a year...
11,315 cups in one year! (this is just a rough guess, it's probably way under) WOW that number blew my mind! So I have made the resolve to use one cup until it breaks or something else happens to it and to be more conscious of what I am doing.

Also I decided not to do a trash log it would be too gross :)

Indian Food

Ok So I love the Bombay House!!! I never thought I would have a favorite restaurant but man I do! Justin's brother took us the other night. Ahhh I have to give a huge thanks to him again the next time I see him.. yeah leftovers!!!!

Whats New

So just a quick update. Riding my bike to work has been great! I feel more energized and ready for the day. Yesterday Justin and I rode to my parents house. It was a great ride. (So By the time I got past Pleasant Grove High school I felt like I was going to hurl.) but I think with me riding everywhere and riding to Pleasant Grove once a week I will be in great shape! And next weeks ride to P.G. won't be nearly as bad at the end. And I am super excited about that. Also when It gets cooler I am planning on walking to work and running home on Fridays. I am not looking forward too much to that but It I know it will be really good for me. So school starts in 2 weeks. I am excited to see what this year will bring!
I read No Country for Old Men this weekend... I didn't like it that much. The only reason I read it in a weekend was to see what happened to the characters. At one point I almost put the book down and I didn't want to finish it. All in all I don't think the plot was not that well put together and that to many unimportant things were explained and that too many important things were not explained. I enjoyed The Road much more. I do not recommend this book.
Justin and I began cataloging all of our digital music this weekend. Currently we are adding CD's that we do not have in a digital format. Then we are rating the music and confirming that the information is correct. WOW this is a big project. I will be very happy when it gets done.

This is my track schedule for 2009 as it now stands.
