Update Time

Alright, I have to apologize for taking FOREVER to do a new post but I have just been CRAZY busy. When people ask me what I have been up to I usually just say "Work and School" but not anymore. Finals are over, school is out and I have started in a new department at Lin's which is totally awesome!




But the problem is I jumped from 15 hours a week to 40 + hours a week. It's not really a problem, but more like a BIG change that I'm not used to. I used to have at least three to four, maybe even five days off and now it's down to just two days off. I don't want it to seem like I'm complaining about not having enough days off. I just have to get used to working A LOT more. But I like it. I enjoy working this much, usually I go crazy for not getting out of my house very often during the summer. But now I'll be spending most of my time at Lin's so come visit me.



Easter was a fun holiday, I spent it with Cash and we just hung out and made cute little easter egg monsters since I color eggs every year I figured I'd get Cash involved also. They were loads of fun and I can't want to do it again next year. This is what we made.




Aren't they cute?


Well this part is for Ellen and for anyone else that wants to see what we did. Cash and I had an idea and we decided to go with it. We painted the guest room downstairs from some sort of blueish color to Bright Vermillion. If you ask Cash he says it's the "Pink room" but I like to call it "Red with a hint of pink". But anyways here are some before and after pitcures.


Before:





After:












I like the color and I know Cash likes it more than he would say. Besides he picked it out.


Well that's all I have for now. Oh and I"ll start back up on the 30 Day Challenge most likely tomorrow. I enjoyed doing the challenge, but I got so caught up in school and training for work that I didn't have much time to keep up with it. I wont start back at the beginning but I start back up where I left off.

No More Brigham Beard

So most of you probably have already seen Cash or probably haven't. But he had to work at Lin's on Saturday and Sunday this last week and that meant that he had to shave off his beard. Here's the before and after pictures of him.




Before



After



Everyone says he looks really good without the beard. And I can't complain, I like seeing his full face now. But, Cash wants to grow his beard back. . . He misses his Birgham Beard. So, I guess whatever he wants to do is fine with me.

Another jahabanero Victim

I have to admit that last night I gave in to peer pressure and ate a WHOLE habanero pepper. This is the footage of what happened when I ate it. Hope you enjoy.

30DC - Days 9 - 17

I have to apologize because I've been so busy with work and school it's giving me a constant headache. Not just the usual busy, but crazy busy. Work has been insane. My hours have been upped since it's case lot and I have changed my availability. Plus, I'm training for produce so that's a few extra hours already. School has been pretty busy because it's the last month before finals so anything and everything counts. I'm not going to do any posts about days 9 - 17 unless you guys really want me to, but then again I only have a few followers so I'm sure you guys don't mind. But if you really want to know one of the days then just let me know and i'll do a random post. Peace.

30DC- Day 6, 7, 8

Day 6


A Hobby You Have


I had to think about this one for a little while. Then I had to find the definition for a hobby. A hobby is an activity or interest that is undertaken for pleasure or relaxation, typically during one's leisure time.


So what is my hobby? I'd have to say. . . reading. I LOVE to read. I'm actually reading a book right now for my Family Relationships class for a book report. It's called The 5 Languages of Love. And I LOVE this book. I'm not even half-way through and I've decided I'm not going to sell it. This book is going on my bookshelf with every other book I own. Hope Cash wont mind about all the books he's going to gain if he keeps me Haha



Day 7


A Picture of Something/Someone that has the Biggest Impact on You.


My mom has the biggest impact on me. She is the one that has helped me make the biggest decisions in my life and will continue to forever and ever.



Day 8


Short Term Goals for This Month and Why


Well since this month is pretty much gone. I'll tell you my short term goals for April.


1. As part of my weight loss challenge I have joined Weight Watchers with my Grandma Dove. And I LOVE it. We keep track of what we are eating and how much we eat. But my problem is I don't really keep track all that much and it has effected me to a point. So my goal for this month is reach my 10% weight loss and keep track of anything and everything that I eat.


2. Another short term goal is to practice for an upcoming 5K that is coming up in May. I should have posted about the Biggest Loser 5K that I ran with my mom and Kurt but I wont. It was a lot of fun. I want to start doing them more often. We finished in 45 minutes which isn't that bad for a first timer. (I think)


3. The last goal I have is to finish school with pretty good grades. Geology wont be very impressive, but I'll still be able to pass. I just need to stop having late nights with friends and sleeping in past my alarm in the mornings. Family Relationships is a blast so it's an easy A. Math will be tough. It's hard when your teacher doesn't even know what she is doing up in front of the class let alone trying to teach others. So I'm pretty much teaching myself which will be nice because it will make sense to me. We'll see how well I taught myself when Finals come up. And last but not least, Interpersonal Communication. I love this class and I ACTUALLY study for it so I'm pretty sure my grade will be pretty good in this class also.

30DC Day 5

A picture of somewhere you've been.

Mazatlan, Mexico

&

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico



I've been to both places in one trip when I was on a cruise with my family. We also stopped in Cabo San Lucas, but I really wasn't that impressed with it so I didn't post a picture. But one of these days I would LOVE to go back to these two cities and enjoy the beautiful culture and scenery these two places have to offer.





30DC - Day 3,4

I've been a little behind on my 30 Day Challenge, but I've been pretty busy the past couple of days so this is day 3 and 4 all in one post. Hope it makes sense to you.


Day 3


A habit you wish y0u didn't have.


I wish I wasn't such a procrastinator. No matter what I have to get done I always procrastinate until it's either too late or the day before it needs to be finished. (ie: this post is making up for three days) Another habit I wish I didn't have would be my random cravings for unhealthy food. I've learned to control it for the most part, but there are those days where I just can't say no.



Day 4

A list of 15 Songs that represent your life's sound track.


(I encourage you to listen to all of them or just a few. Whichever floats your boat.)


1. Count on Me - Bruno Mars (Just listening to the words remind me of relationships with friends.)


2. Here I Go Again - White Snake (Miriam and I just LOVE this song)


3. We Like to Party - Vengaboys (This song represents all of the boys in my family)


4. I'm Only Me When I'm With You - Taylor Swift (This song can go either way for a friend, family member, or a special someone. But this is for my mom, because I am my mother's daughter)


5. Break Your Heart - Taio Cruz (When I was younger, everyone said that I would become a heartbreaker, it's come true for some past things but not all)


6. Billionaire - Bruno Mars (I probably will never become a billionaire, but it's always fun to dream.)


7. Perfect Two - Auburn (Just listen to the song and you'll know what it's about ;)


8. If I Die Young - The Band Perry (It's a sad song, but I love it)


9. Like a G6 - Far East Movement ( I love the beat to dance to, but I'm also fly like a G6)


10. I've Got Friends in Low Places - Garth Brooks (Everyone has friends in low places)


11. Don't Stop Believing - Journey (This song makes me feel better when tough times are around because it reminds me to "Don't Stop Believing")


12. Fireworks - Katy Perry (You just need to remember you're a firework. Show who you really are, shine not matter what)


13. Pretty Girl Rock - Keri Hilson (This is my anthem for every female in the world.)


14. Love Me or Hate Me - Lady Sovereign (Just what the chorus says "Love me or hate me it's still an obsession)


15. Don't Worry, Be Happy - Bob McFerrin (This song makes me feel better when I'm stressed.)
