Emotional people... beware the "welp"

15 days. That has to be some sort of record for not writing in my blog. It's actually 12 days too long. I should have written long ago.

I am now offically free. I have earned my freedom from Nations Holding Company. I loved working there. That's the first place I can say that about. Really the thing that tops it all is that I could sit all day long. They led to the fact that I was welcome back, but I don't know if I will. We'll see when the time comes.

Thursday is going to be a busy relaxed day, if that exsists. I am loading up my truck and doing last minute packing, but then I am sleeping in, going out with my mom and I doing a couple or errands. I like days like that. Busy, but not stressed.

It was good talking to you tonight, Rachel. I hadn't laughed that much in awhile. It felt good. I will text you tomorrow night when I leave and will call you when I get to Rexburg. It'll be a long trip, but Dad is good company so it will be a pleasant trip. We are going to watch movies on my laptop! I'm excited.

Something interesting happened Monday. The RS pres and I were going to go out for lunch, but ended up going for frozen custard (yummy). You have to understand that she is like me in regards to being shy and reserved. So this calling has been stressful on her. We sat and talked for sometime and I couldn't believe she asked me how I deal with my Mom when she is stressed. I never thought about it. Cause honestly, she's been stressed my whole life, I haven't known my mom any different. So instead I ended up giving her advice on how to deal with stress. I reminded me of my good old mission days when I was told I was worth $100 an hour for all the things I did. Giving good wholesome advice, listening, stuff like that. What I don't get is, why do they ask me. I'm half their age, never married, no kids, hardly any world experience. What do I have to offer. HF has an interesting way of working cause what came out of my mouth was what she needed to hear. I love to be a witness of things like that. How I love the gospel.

Sorry, I didn't mean to go into all that. So, my family was getting all sappy today. I don't like that. I'd rather just say, "welp, see ya later". This illistrates why I want to elope to the temple. There's no build up of all these emotions from other people and I stay out of the spot light. So Rachel, or anyone else reading this, if you get a postcard in the mail saying either I'm getting married in a week, or saying FYI I got married, don't be surprised. In fact, expect it. So far my plan is to get married in the Nauvoo Temple. We'll see if it really happens though.

I think I'm going to get in another episode of 24 before I call it a night.

Dub a Dub Dub

Well today was a forever long day at work. I finished a project that I had been working for two days. And now that I'm leaving shortly, everyone is piling projects on me. Going from bored to tears to don't even know where to begin. I put in my two week notice today. I went online to see how people suggest doing it. What caught me off gaurd was that you really don't have to give a two week notice. I knew it was a nice thing to do, but is not required, at least so says the internet. But it's been wrong before. So I gave it to my boss in an email. That was a hard email to write. My boss who is a lawyer (which scares me right there) also majored in English. Everytime I am around that man or have to write an email to him, I spend 15 minutes just writing a short paragraph. But I got through it. Phew.
Then after work, we had a sister from the ward and the Missionaries over for dinner. It was fun. It was one of the missionaries last night before he goes home. Since they didn't have any appointments we play Jotts and Tittles. We played on teams and I was with Jenny, needless to say, we lost badly. I haven't lost that game that badly in a long time. We kept getting hard question after hard question. Oh well, I guess I can lose once and awhile. Otherwise it's not fun. Our family decided to take pictures of all the missionaries that come into our home from now on. So we took their pictures. I think it would be neat to have. Too bad we hadn't been doing it before. We have them over all the time since Dad is the Bishop. We tell them to always come over when they don't have a dinner appointment. Anyway, here's their picture. Elders Coffinfield (I think that's his name) and Liniquist.
After they left I was talking to my Dad about movies and I asked him where all our vhs tapes were. Then got to thinking, I wonder if I can hook a vcr up to a computer and capture the movie and burn it to a dvd? We have that vcr/dvd combo thing that will do it for you, but I've never had much sucess with it. The movie also seems to be too long for the dvd and doesn't finish recording it. So I will try to "dub" it on my computer sometime this week (if I feel up to it) I'd like to get it to work cause we have some really good movies on vhs. I'll keep you all posted on my progress.
I finished my book today. It's the 5th book this summer. I have two more on my "to read" list, but won't have enough summer left to accomplish it. I wonder how many pages I've read this summer. The book I just finished was almost 800. I bet it's around 3000 pages. Well, I'm off to study the dubbing process. Cheers.

Sleepwalker

So here it is... the update. My weekend is long gone and I am yet again sad over my loss. But you are correct in that I only have a couple more "Mondays", at least until classes start again. I am ready to leave!! Sorry for the brevity, but it is late already and I must arise with the sun. Enjoy the changes to the sidebar. I will think at work what my new poll question shall be. So look for that. Be excited, I sure am. Oh, side note, I may have found a new group that is worthy of a listening ear; JamisonParker. Check them out and let me know what you think. Their cd Sleepwalker will be coming your way if you're interested.

Jolly Roger

This is for you Rachel. Like I said, I was at Target and was just wondering around and found this shirt and I had to have it. We both know it has hidden meanings for me. Hahahahahaha. And an extra bonus, it's really soft. I love my new shirt. I should have bought more just to put aside and wear after this one gets retired. Anyway, it was good to talk to you earlier tonight. Well, I'm off to bed early tonight so I don't fall asleep in my chair at work tomorrow.
