This past weekend, I got really sick. With every illness possible, it felt like. First, Friday morning I took a couple ibuprofin without eating anything before hand and I had terrible stomach cramps all morning at work. They pretty much lasted all day, but just not as strong later in the day. Then I had a yucky {head}cold, sore throat, headache, etc., and I lost my voice on Sunday morning. On top of all that, Aunt Flo came for a visit. And the stomach cramping never went away. I really couldn't eat much of anything for about 5 days, and from all WebDM and FamilyDoctor sites, it sounded like a stomach ulcer. So on Tuesday I skipped work and went to the doctor's office. Definitely not as scary as I thought it would be. The doc just gave me this super creepy Harry Potter-ish potion. He told me it was an antacid and numbing agent, but it was bright green and foamy and tasted like chalk and numbed my mouth and throat. About 10 minutes later, I was hungry for the first time in 4 days!!! Oh the miracles of modern medicine. Such a blessing. Anyway I can eat again and all is good again. Well, except the head cold part. That just keeps getting worse. Although I did get out of my MCom oral presentation because I sounded like a man. But my voice is back now so I can officially be a woman again {It was difficult there for a while}. :)


More exciting news, my fam is coming out for General Conference in about a week. And they're bringing Maggie!!! I miss my Magster sooooooooooooooooooooo effing much. She's going to be such good friends with all the other cars in Provo.

So lately, I've had a mild obsession with wedding pictures. It's an odd one that's for sure. This guy has emerged as my new fave. But it's definitely making me excited for my cousin Emmaleigh's wedding in January. :)

Okay..... Maybe I'll get back to working now.

New Music, uh, Thursday? Sorry folks, I stink at this. I haven't found many good new songs lately. But "In My Head" is one of my favorite new-ish dance-y songs. It's only kind of bad.... Ish. Yikes, but I like it so.

Sorry it's been a long while since I last posted.

Let me just vent for a minute.

First, it's snowing like crazy outside. And it's mid-March. I hate life. And bipolar Utah weather.

Wednesday my parents called saying my bank had called and detected some unusual activity, right as I was on my way on a date to Divine Comedy's tech show with some friends. I was on hold for like 15 minutes before I gave up and decided I'd call them after the show. When I did call, I cancelled my debit card and found out someone in South Carolina had used my card and spent over $1300 at a Walmart!!! First of all, c'mon people, if you're going to steal someone's card, use it some place exciting!! Walmart SUCKS. So that was awesome. And it was my debit card so they were definitely stealing my money. Good news was they stopped it before they took, you know, all my money. Thanks guys. I got a new card the next day and the $1300 was credited to my account yesterday. Still, a really sucky hassle to deal with.


This morning, I found out I didn't get the job up at Aspen Grove. So now I get to plan out my entire summer, and I haven't even started thinking about it. Yikes. Hi Provo, I hate you lots and I don't want to be here this Spring/Summer.
Good things about today. My friend CJ came over to give me some, uhh, slightly illegally downloaded movies. I got Princess and the Frog, The Blind Side, A Beautiful Mind (which I've never seen), and Monsters vs. Aliens. Then we went to Cocoa Bean where I got a deeeeelishous cupcake and hot chocolate and saw my etiquette teacher there!!! I felt like I was with a celebrity.

And tonight I'm going to a surprise birthday party for one of the guys in our ward. Hopefully the rest of my night will be better tonight.

Yes I purposefully postponed this post until tonight so I could write about the dance last night. Yes it was fun. Yes we had a great time. Yes he was charming and an awkward dancer sometimes (psh, like I'm not) and cute and wonderful all night. Yes it was everything it should have been.
So I'll give you details. Except they won't be super-mushy-awesome-cutesy details like I normally would have. They're just going to be lame-o details.

So CJ came over at like 7:30 and he, Alyssa and I started making pizzas. We made a cheesy one and a chicken alfredo one. All of our roommates came in and ate our food at about 8:15ish and Paul finally showed up at like 8:30ish. By 8:45ish we left for the dance at Alpine Village. Alyssa and I were GOING to open their doors for them, but all the doors were locked and had to be opened manually from inside the car. So that plan failed. The dance itself was really fun, but like I told Alyssa. The music was pretty decent, the decor was cool, and they had lots of Dr. Seuss-ish cutesy things. They also had Fruit by the Foots (Fruits by the Foot??). Probably the coolest part of the dance, not going to lie. And they had Swedish Fish and more candy and a SLURPEE machine. I only ate one Fruit by the Foot and some candies and I felt sick from the sugar, so I only had a sip of Alyssa's cherry slurpee.

The first slow dance we "accidentally" skipped out on because we were eating Fruit by the Foot, but the second one was fun. I had just gone outside with Alyssa to find a bathroom so my hands were FREEZING. Of course CJ said something about it. And stupid me, I gave some super-lengthy explanation about my bad circulation and how I'd just been outside. Anyway, it was way to lengthy for a normal friendly conversation. The last slow dance was better, but sticky and hot because we'd just had a SUPER long set of really awesome great dancing/jumpy fast songs like "In My Head" by Jason Derulo, "Boom Boom Pow" and "I Gotta Feeling" by BEP, "Just Dance" by Lady Gaga, "Down" by Jay Sean, "Forever" by Chris Brown, "Single Ladies" by Beyonce, etc. We talked about my major, he asked when the summer job I applied for would start, we complained about classes and his job, it was just good friend talk. It was nice for sure.

On the way home, Alyssa and I finally succeeded in opening their doors (although I almost had to fight CJ for it). As they were about to walk us to our door (singular. We live in the same apartment...), someone decided it would be a WHOLE lot less awkward if we just walked them to their doors. Greatest plan ever. So CJ and I walked down the stairs, Alyssa and Paul walked up. Once they got to the top they started stomping and jumping up and down. They blamed it on an earthquake. We had already said our goodbyes and hugged, but we went back up a little bit to spy on their awkward doorstep scene. Nothing cool happened between them though, and I was sad.  But it was a great night overall. Fun people, fun dance, fun times.


Mmmmmmm I just miss MCom. Good thing tomorrow's Monday. I think I'm going to see if he wants to come with us to the Hunger Banquet on Thursday night...

Crushes are so futile and stupid. End of story.

Goal for life: Be bad at falling in love from now on.

First things first. Shout out to the cute guy from MCom. We actually had a full-on conversation on Wednesday. If I wasn't so swamped this weekend slash out of town next weekend, I would totally ask you on a date, MCom boy. Oh, and if I had your phone number. That would be beneficial too. {Although then I might turn into a crazy texting whore like I've done lately. Bleh}
