On the Horizon

Last week past like a blur, but I was able to accomplish some small goals. For example, yesterday I went to a scrapbook event with my friend Amanda and completed my trip to Washington state (from December of '07). I only have about 5 more albums to go, but I did the scrapbook entirely online in about two hours and sent my pages off to be printed at Costco...my how the world of scrap booking has changed. I think by next week I should be all caught up and able to keep my scrapbooks under control. Though, I observed that I don't take enough photographs and I have made a small resolve to take more pictures. I also went shopping with Stephanie and got some dressy sandals (which were way over due!) for work and whatever else I may need them for.

My house is pretty much packed up. I just have a few more things in my room which I need to throw into boxes but other than that, I am eating off of paper and plastic from food I either cook in the microwave, pour milk into like cold cereal...or I have to eat out now until the first week of August. By the way...I had to go get those dressy sandals yesterday because I packed all my nice shoes and went to work on Thursday in a really cute outfit with not-so-cute shoes...it wasn't so bad except people kept pointing out my blunder...oh well - I'm a people pleaser so my natural reaction was to go get shoes that will not be so offensive the next time around. :P

As I sit here and write this, D.O.G. is laying down at my feet and he is sooo cute, he just wants to be wherever I am and every so often he adjusts to make sure he is still close enough. He was such a great idea, and I am so glad I have him.

Well, that's enough for now.

My Life

So, today I just decided I want a scooter (see picture). I think life is too short to be worried about death all the time, plus it helps soften the blow to one of my least favorite things (gas prices: see 'not-so favorite things' list). I'm going to take a motorcycle crash course (emphasis on course not crash) which will make me a riding pro so I can venture out on my scooter in a safe manner. I want to join some kind of 'scooter posse' or something so if you know of any - let me know! :)

This week was a week of implusive, long-term ideas because I have also started planning a road trip with my friend Stephanie! We are going to travel to Kirtland, OH then drive to Nauvoo, IL and then head down to MO. We will be visiting early Church historical sites (for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints otherwise known as Mormon) and having a lot of cool experiences on the way.

I am so excited for my two ideas!
