Rambling... and an award?

What's up, blog friends? We're still alive around here! Spending most of our weekends in the car these days... at least that's what it seems like. I think we just finished up our sixth weekend in a row of going to see family. SIX WEEKENDS! Holy cow... don't worry though, as of right now we will get to stay in our little Logan-town for this whole entire weekend! What? Our apartment will actually get cleaned? It must be a miracle!

So why do we go home so much? Well... the past six weeks were for these reasons: Snowboarding, Spring Break, the 1st Annual Utah Rugby 5k (that I just had to do), General Conference, and finally Easter! Our lives are pretty exciting, I know.

Staying home for the weekend isn't the only thing I'm excited about right now... the beautiful Emily over at Dirt Bikes & Diamonds nominated me for this:

The Versatile Blogger Award!

Another miracle, right? So, here's how it works...

Each Nominee Should:

1. Nominate 15 fellow bloggers for the Versatile Blogger Award
2. Add an image of the Versatile Blogger Award
3. Thank the blogger who nominated you in a post with a link to their site
4. Share seven completely random facts about yourself
5. Include this set of rules
6. Inform each nominated blogger of their nomination

I nominate:

1. Kjarinda at At this Moment
2. Madeline at P.S. My Name is Madeline
3. Kenzi at Love Me Some Lemons 
4. Brynne at Unwritten 

Um.... the rest are coming soon... Let me know if you want to be nominated. :)
 


Seven Random Facts about me:

1. I hardly ever wear makeup. As in, I'm lucky if I manage to do it once a week. Once every two weeks is even an accomplishment for me...
2. I had cold cereal for breakfast and lunch yesterday. Gotta have my Pops!
3. Tyler and I were married for almost a year before I started driving the car... driving a manual around a town that has hills everywhere was really scary. Don't worry, I'm the best driver ever now.
4. Putting on sweats is one of the very first things I do when I get home from work or school every day.
5. I love going to the dentist.
6. Speaking of teeth... I still wear my retainers every night.
7. I was going to do a "no-treat" April and I didn't even last through the first day. (Now April is just a "cut back on sweets" month... kind of...

Okay, so that was pretty fun. I really should find more blog friends to nominate. Thanks for reading! And... another thanks to Emily for the nomination!

Today has been...

...a no good very very bad day. Okay, in comparison with other people's lives, my day has been fantastic, but it is just not living up to my expectations. I know that I can choose to be happy if I want, but sometimes the universe just seems to be against me. Class was okay this morning, but it is what happened after class that has really made me wish I could just go back to bed and start all over again. Or at least sleep until tomorrow... anyway... here's what has gone wrong. Mind you, I know that some of these things are trivial, but just go with it.

I have been super stressed lately about getting all of the credits I need to graduate this semester, not because I have a lot left, I just had to wait for things to fall into place. Which was nerve-wracking. So, I went to turn in my paperwork today after class and it turns out that I can't have two separate internships under the same course number. You see, I am already registered for two internships, and I was adding a third... I didn't think I was doing anything wrong. After being lectured about how it's up to me to make things happen, and basically since I'm a senior I should know better and how stuff like this isn't going to fly in the real-world, we got things worked out. Still, it was the breaking point. I made it home and had a meltdown...and got back into bed for about an hour.

Once I got out of bed, I did some dishes. Nothing bad here. But next is where it goes downhill... I decided to make a smoothie for lunch! So, I got out our Magic Bullet (that we bought for $16) and made my smoothie. Everything except for the ice blended nicely. Seriously? So, I decided to just forget about it and have a frothy, fruity drink.

I was still hungry, so I decided to have a piece of toast. The toast popped up, and of course, it was black on one side. Still, I put Nutella on it and it wasn't too bad.

I was getting ready to leave to come to work, and I was tracking the bus online so I wouldn't have to wait outside forever. As I was looking at my phone to find out how much time I had until the bus got to my stop, I heard the bus pull up. Ugh. The online tracker was behind by a couple of stops.

I know that these things are stupid, and that I should be grateful that I have a frothy fruity drink to drink, and some black toast to eat, and that my legs work so I can walk to school, and that I have a coat to keep me warm outside, but I've just passed the breaking point, and I'm not feeling too positive right now. Also, it is a great excuse to not go to the gym today. I'm afraid that if I go, I'll break my ankle or something.

Thanks for letting me rant, everybody. Kudos to you if you made it this far. I'm only human, and beings I'm at work and can't really complain to anybody, it feels good to just let it all out.

I hope you are all having a better Monday than I am!
