Birth of the blog

This entry is to recognize the birth of my mom's blog. Yeah for my mom in moving one step closer to the modern age. :) I ended up helping her for a couple of hours (with breaks in between). I was showing her the ropes so that next time she won't need my help. Catch a fish for a man and the man eats for a day, teach a man how to fish and the man eats for the rest of his life. That's what I was going for. Let's see if it worked.
Rachel, I apologize for this entry being late. I told you I would have it up last night. I forgot and when I woke up this morning I was thinking "crap, I forgot to do that". So here it is.

Here's what started it all...

This is the mess that caused me 48 hours of quality thinking and alone time! Well, alone time from people I knew at least. And in that quality thinking time, I decided that I would see this event and inconvenience as "the glass half full". For example, I got to people watch all day, I was able to get to Kansas City without spending an extra dollar on a ticket or rental. I got about 100 pages of reading in. I have my luggage even though it went one way and I went the other. Yeah for the light at the end of the tunnel. I do have to say that I really like Southwest Airlines. I just want to put that out there. They were very helpful. When I would call their customer service number, there was always someone there to answer my questions and help me with whatever I needed instead of some recording. I know they had no control over the airport being open or closed, but boy did they try everything to get people where ever they needed to be. Here's to Southwest! I think I am an even more loyal customer. Well all you faithful bloggers, I am going to go to bed now, it is about that time. Happy Saturday! I'm sleeping in!!!!

Snowed In

I hate holiday/end of semester travel!!! I have just spent the better part of the day cleaning and packing up my crap here in Rexburg so that I can be ready to leave this morning at 6:30 to arrive on time for my 1:35 flight out of SLC to Denver. AHHH, I'm sore and bored and have just found out that my flight home has been cancelled due to the huge amount of snow dumped in Denver. I may never get home! Ahh. Good thing I packed some food, games and my iPod with me. I'm going to spend my Christmas vacation in SLC's airport. Yes! At least I'll have time to explore all their shops. Hey, I might even get something as a souvenir to mark this page in my life. I never thought it would happen to me to be honest. I'm almost tempted to take my pillow with me so that I can sleep where ever I may be, be it a hallway or a very uncomfortable chair. AHHH, I hate the holidays! I hate packing! I hate stupid weather! [singing] I hate everyone!

My December

"This is My December [entry]. This is my time of the year... and I'd give it all away just to have somewhere to go to, give it all away to have someone to come home to." I love Linkin Park!

This really isn't my time of the year, I'd rather claim summer and hide under a book. I was listening to this song on my way back from class this morning and forgot how much I love this song. I'm looking forward to going home in a couple of weeks. It's always nice to go home. What scares me is that I will only want to be there for a short time and then I know I'll go stir crazy. I hate that my life is up in the air being driven without the wind or something to point me in a direction. I have no direction and I'm fed up with it! Oh and by the way, happy birthday to me.
