"you suck at blogging"

I was at my sister Lera's house last night for Sunday dinner. We were just sitting on the couch in her living room with books in our laps and she looked up at me and said, "you suck at blogging". I made a lame excuse of not having time, she said that she was busy also, but still made the time. So on Memorial day sitting in my bed I was thinking of what I needed to do this week, and then the thought hit me. I can blog about some of the things that I normally do in a week, which helps me to derive attention from my blog.

WORK- I work for a freight systems company at a call center in Best Valley. Luckily I am not on the phones. I write emails. Many Emails. At the end of the first three hours of my day I have sent x-amount of emails about pickups and missed pickups. I have also populated some very "fun" spreadsheets to send to one of my customers by their due time. After the first three hours I want a snack and a nap. The rest of my day is repetitious of the above. Emails and spreadsheets, and wanting snacks and naps. My day at work is also very busy because of Hangman, Mash, letters that look like trash so we don't get caught, pranks, personal jokes, memories of better times and hopes that haven't been shot down, and of course talk of what we all want to be when we grow up.

CHURCH/CHURCH CALLINGS- I am an active LDS member. Sometimes it's hard to be one. But it's worth it!! I recommend it to anyone and I'm willing to pick you up if you want to car pool.

TV/MOVIES/MUSIC/SHOPPING/GAMES- All of these are great things to do by yourself or with others. I normally hang out with some of my friends during these so I can show that I am not "avoiding them" and that I am not "anti-social".

BOOKS AND MORE BOOKS- I absolutely love to read!! To be perfectly honest I am borderline catatonic when I am reading a good book. The Host is a new found favorite, it's the best. Read it, and when your done you can tell me that I was right. :)

FOOD- I'll scare you if I tell you how many times I eat out a week. This takes a lot of time and money, but I'm willing to put forth the effort. Bah.

FAMILY- I love my family. My sisters are the most important things in my life. Even when my life isn't busy, they make sure that I have something to do. London-She is always having some kind of party going on. She will normally have half the neighborhood over to get ready for it, and the whole neighborhood to celebrate it. Lera- She always makes sure that I have a place to go. I can talk to her about anything. She understands me and that is a hard thing to grasp. Shea (sista from another mista')- She is my best friend. She always knows what I need and supports me in everything. I might not have a husband or kids, but I definitely have the the best Bro-in-laws and the most perfect Nephews. Monte (Lon's hubby)- He is one smart man. He is the embodiment of a bread winner. I hope that I can have a dependable husband like him someday. Braedon (1st of Lon's boys)- Boy genius. Always has the laptop in one hand and a chocolate milk in the other. He's getting baptized next Saturday and is very excited. Trevor- The cutest kid I've ever seen. He seriously is full of character surprises. He pronounces my name as why. I hope that never changes. Davis(Lon's youngest)- Full of screams and smiles. He is adorable. He absolutely loves food, and even though he only has one tooth, he likes to chew. Greg (Lera's hubby)- He has the coolest hobbies ever. He's a nerd like me. He is really talented with music and Lego's. I can always expect to have a reason to laugh when I'm with him. Palmer (Lera's baby)- He is the sweetest baby I've ever meet. He makes me happy. His cry is pathetic, he has a zoolander face that he pulls, his Edward Scissor hand fingers are so cute, and his eyes are brilliant.

The Host swallowed me whole for a few days. And don't you worry...blogging can quickly become a sick, sick, sick, sick, sick addiction. I simply love it! :)
