a Quote

Being on facebook you come across many different statuses, some not so needful to know, some give you a chuckle, a repulsed response, apathy, and then there are some astounding and insightful quotes that get your mind thinking. Mine for the day is:

"Don't make someone your priority while allowing yourself to simply be their option"

AMEN!

ENT

If I learned ANYTHING from my Mom is what ENT means. She's my source of medical information. Ear-Nose-Throat. My ears, my nose, and my throat feel like they have been probed. Speaking with a clogged nose and caughing to create awkward moments is not my ideal situation. ENT...how i long for normality in that department.

Life is extremely busy these days. I feel like peanut butter, and all that I need to accomplish is a big piece of bread I need to be scrapped on. I am learning how to balance my schedule. I'd love to learn to be more organized but, man, am I stubborn...that takes time and discipline!!

Changing the subject...

I have officially decided to stop liking boys. DO NOT BE ALARMED. Yes, I am interested in men. No, I am NOT interested in women. It is more like, I find that there is no real point in liking a guy or even being remotely interested. Where has it gotten me? Let me give you the answer: Absolutely no where. Solution? I have no idea. I just figure, if it is right...it shouldn't be that hard or complicated. I guess the timing is off. Man, I need to go to get my watch checked, especially if my timing is off, wouldn't you say?

I need to go read my scriptures and get some shut eye, although I wish i could keep writing. Good night to the poor soul who is reading this. 'Til the next entry.

Jumbled Thoughts

I have been meaning to write in my blog so much sooner than this, and of course, I am writing at almost one in the morning when my brain does not work as well nor as quickly, nevertheless, I have the ganas the desire/drive/ambition??? to write today. (Ganas is a hard word to translate for me).

In my pocketsize notebook that goes everywhere with me, i started to write about an experience I had @ BYU Laundry with a customer. I started this short story and never finished, but, I have the title:

"If You're Nice--You'll Be Taken Care of "

An Illens Dort, from the Department of Translation, came to the counter here @ BYU Luandry, where I co-exist with everyone else's dirty clothes but my own. His pleasant demeanor awaited me and as I approached the counter he calmly waited for me  with his eight shirts anxious to be tagged and cleaned. I asked him if he'd been here within the last month because if not, we'ld have to re-put his information into our system. Giving me his last name I typed away and with relief clicked on his previously registered information. Happily, I informed Illens that the stystem recognized him, that we had him in the system, with which he slyly replied "I'm still alive." A smile took over the bottom half of my face to which the responisiblity of this action goes towards this tall, middle-aged African American man's humor. Again he spoke..."You have a beautiful smile." That comment, along with his charm and humor made me want to make sure his order was very well taken care of. If you're nice, you'll be taken care of, not just @ the laundromat.

Besides that story that happened over a week ago, so much happens that I forget about it. A lot of really great things have been happening in my life...i just lack one thing, but, we can't win them all.


I'll write again with more time and energy in the near future.
