"I wanna rock and roll all night, and PART OF every day"

So, I am learning the guitar (PAUSE for laughter)!!!

It's true! NO joke! Last week I taught myself how to play this lovely song:

I even have the picking/plucking (I don't know the word... I play the violin) down!

Anyway... I thought I'd share! My goal for next post is to use real pictures. Not just lame stuff from the internet.

I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying. - Oscar Wilde

Lately, I don't understand a word I'm saying, but that's okay. I still think I'm hilarious!

What?!? Remind me why I have a blog??? Ha ha! I think this is mostly entertainment for me. It's something that is mine. I AM IN CONTROL!

I capital "P" Promise that I will start blogging more often. :) I pah-romise all of... maybe.... one reader! :) That's okay, I still love you! Let's be honest, I probably wouldn't be wasting my time on this blog anyway....

Next blog post will come soon... Oh, and hopefully with pictures! Maybe I can actually do this! We'll find out!

Rome Wasn't Built in A Day

It is time for me to become ACCOUNTABLE! I am trusting you. I'm not exactly comfortable with this, but it NEEDS to be done. It is time for me to loose weight. It will happen. I have to make it happen. I have a crappy work schedule, so it's hard for me to have a regular work buddy, go to bed early, etc. However, I can start doing small things now. For myself. I am starting off small, but I am starting. Each week I will be posting a weekly goal. The next week I will also let you know if I accomplished it or not. If I do not, I give you full permission to deck me! Full on punch to the face. So, here I am, taking my first step.

My Goal: Take the stairs at work every day (That's 5 stories, Tues-Sat).

Blind Date

Okay. . . Ha ha! So Friday I went on my first blind date. . . I can easily say that it was THE WORST date of my life. All I am going to say is that guys should know how to treat girls. Oh, and you should talk to her (Duh!). . .

Well, my Friday night was made up thanks to my AMAZING best friends! They are the best! I love them SO much!!!

My Happy Post

As opposed to my depressing, downer post on Monday.

I have a few things to be happy about, and I'll share them (whether you want me to or not).

• 
  
  
  Geoff's Seminary Graduation! Can I get a "Hollar"? I am SO proud of my brother. I do love him, even though I don't always show it. And I am glad we're related! I know, call up the papers, I've admitted it!

• 
  
  
  DISNEYLAND! Yep, you read that right! My first road trip with just a friend and myself. I'm excited (and I can't believe I'm 20 and this is my first road trip without supervision...LOSER...)!

• 
  
  
  Summer weather!!! I have learned that I LOVE hiking when there is a view! Ha ha! Last summer I hiked Ensign Peak and watched the sunset and the city lights turn on. What a great way to end a day! If you ever want to go, call me! :)

• 
  
  
  Running. At the moment it doesn't make me happy, but I have come to the conclusion that I WILL be a runner, and I WILL love it!

Well, that is my happy post....

Downer...

No one likes a downer, and unfortunately that is me today so I will keep my post short.

Have you ever had a day where you just want to curl up in a ball and not go anywhere for the rest of your life? I have, again, that is today. I don't know what has brought it on, but today is just not a fantastic day. Honestly, there is no reason why today shouldn't be a good day, but it's not!

Anyway, later this week I'll post happier thoughts and joyous things, but today I will be the person that nobody likes, a downer...
