• What a fun day. I had the house all to myself today. It was so nice to be in the silence...every once in a while it is nice to be alone and in silence. It is actually my favorite. Maybe that is why I am such a night owl...it is the most peaceful time of the day for me. Anyways, I spent most of the day relaxing in the sun. I woke up at 9:30 laid there till around 10 and then went right outside. I stayed out there till almost 4 pm. I just laid in the grass and read and took in the beauty and sun.
• I also caught up on my Army Wives and One Tree Hill. I almost had a stupid asthma attack at the end of the One Tree Hill Season Finale which I just finished. Now to finish catching up on Army Wives...I was only behind by like two episodes so after this one I'm watching now I have one more...then I have to wait for the hiatus to be over.
• I can't wait for tomorrow to be over. There are so many errands to do it isn't even funny. Tammy and I have to return books and movies to 3 different libraries...Davis County, Weber County and the Air Force base. I have a doctor's appointment at 3:30. I also have to go to Wal-Mart and get some things that I will need for my weekend trip to Mississippi. Namely I need shorts and all that fun stuff.
• I can't wait for this weekend. Thursday is my birthday which I hope nobody remembers and if they do I don't want it to be made into a big deal. In my opinion it is just another day and it will most likely always be that way. But see that's the thing I may be a year older but does anybody ever actually feel older. I know I am a very pessimistic person and if you don't like it I don't care...I won't be changing for you...lol.
• Anyways, Friday afternoon I leave to visit my best friend of all times in Mississippi for the weekend. I am so excited to see his favorite places down there and take lots of pictures. There are two people I really want to see on my birthday and since I can't see one I will settle for this one. I haven't seen Ben in almost 4 years. It is so freaking crazy...but we have kept in contact...in other words I email him once a week and he writes back when he gets the chance. You know how guys are. Anyways, it is the best birthday present I could possibly imagine to see Ben before I leave for Germany and don't see him for another 4 years (I hope that isn't true).
• Well as you can see I had a lot on my mind today and maybe just maybe I will be able to keep up with this blog a lot better. There are times (yes spans of months) when I have nothing of real interest to post. Then there are times when my mind doesn't want to shut up. This is one of those times which will make everybody who actually goes through and reads these happy.

AT LAST!!!!

• Today for the first time in a while I sat down and started writing. I don't know what it was that started me to writing again but it is nice to put pen to paper and put my thoughts down in story form. I will say that I didn't pay as close attention in sacrament as I should have but when ideas come to me I have to get them down on paper. I love the feeling of writing something whether it is interesting or not. I can't wait to get all these crazy thoughts out of my head and get all the stories down on paper.

• I know I haven't done very well keeping this blog up but hopefully that will change. I will maybe start posting some of my poems or stories. You never know what will happen with this blog. So I love I Dream of Jeannie. Jeannie is hilarious...I also love Samantha from BeWitched. Random thought I know but I am watching I Dream of Jeannie right now. Oh the calamities that happen to them.

• Well like I said that is all I have for now but I will try to update more often. Promise!!!!

• So why I didn't post this while everything was fresh in my mind yesterday I don't know...but I didn't so I'm sure I will miss something I wanted to update about...lol. Anyways, there isn't much to say, well there is but not a lot I want to go on about on here. I do want to say that on facebook I keep reading about how everybody is getting so much freaking older and it is making me feel extremely old myself. I mean sure I'm only going to be 26 but it feels really old to me lately and I don't know why. Not that I'm complaining because I'm not...I just wish everybody would stop aging so that I wouldn't feel so old for pete's sake.

• I finally got the last of my paperwork back. I just have to find a computer to scan it into so that I can get it sent off to Tim in Germany and he can finish it all up. That means I should be over there shortly. Which I have my reserves about but I'll deal with them. I may not like it in Germany all that much but I will get over it and make the best of the time I have there. Don't be surprised when 100's of pictures start showing up on Facebook of nothing but cool looking buildings and flowers and suck...lol. But by now everybody who is reading this should know that I am majorly into taking pictures of things I think are cool looking.

• Usually I write something on here about reading a lot or doing a lot of crafts but lately I haven't been into that at all. I did finish Matthew's blanket and did two fleece tie blankets. Now I just have to get them all sent off before I head to Germany. I will most likely send them all off at the beginning of June...to all those who have to wait sorry they are coming.

• So I went to Anthony (my brother in laws) High School Graduation yesterday afternoon. Wow, what a difference from mine. But it kind of took me back to mine and of Mikie's parents as his diploma was handed to them. I almost cried. I was reminded that instead of going to one of the many parties to choose from afterwards Rena and I went to see one of the Fast and the Furious movies (can't remember which one but I think it was Tokyo Drift...lol). Even the colors were similar...we were the Tigers (black and orange...obviously) they were the Warriors (black and red). I got kind of confused because none of them were in alphabetical order...it was all guys on one side and girls on the other in semi alphabetical order. Let's just say it was really really weird. I remember standing on the street outside the Middle School afterwards in search of all my friends for this picture. Jess, Emily, me and Rena were really close Senior Year. It was a year of lots of rides home...lol.
• Anyways, like I was saying before I got on the Graduation rant I haven't been able to get into my crafty, reading, creative moods. I haven't written much of anything, did many crafts (blankets) or read much. I have been getting back into the book reading again recently. It all takes the right book or moment to get in the right frame of mind to do anything. But then again I have been spending a lot of time going to work with Tammy while she was doing Census work. It got me out of the house most days which is always good.

• The next few days are supposed to be really nice so my plan is to be out in the sun as much as possible. Got to get me a slight tan so I don't burn the first time I spend a lot of time in the sun. That would be a pain. I enjoy the sun...especially in the summer when my allergies aren't too bad. Spring is the worst for allergies so I tend to stay inside more often but now it is almost Summer and I am ready for sunshine. The one thing about Utah is it may be Spring but it is still snowing when you least expect it. Not major snow but snow none the less. Oh well Utah is pretty much a lot of mountains so it is understandable.

• Let me just say that I really can't believe this weekend is Memorial Day weekend. Where did the time go. I also can't believe my birthday is a week from tomorrow. Rena's is what Monday, Riley's is Sunday I believe. There are too many birthday's at the end of May and the beginning of June for me to keep track of dates. But HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Kimber, Debbie, Eric, Anthony, Rena, and Riley in May...sorry if it's late. Also in June HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Me, Grandma Mattocks, Mel, Eric, Uncle Greg, Cassie, and Bub. I'm sure I missed people in those birthday lists but if I did and you noticed Happy Birthday to you as well...lol...sorry. Hope everybody has/had a great day on their birthday's. But like I said I think we should ban ages. They are just a number and not important. It is just another day on the calendar in a year that goes by way way too fast.

• Hope you are all happy now...I had to come up with all kinds of crazy stuff for this entry but if it gets everybody off my back about updating whatever...lol...enjoy. More when something interesting happens...sorry.
