Life isn't made up of the number of breaths we take, but the moments that take our breath away.

Live life so that at the end of it, you have no regrets. Instead, you have stories full of love and laughter so you can hold your head up high, no matter what.

WORK IS SLOW!!!!

It's so not the best time to be in the service industry. Work is killing me. I need to have something more to do, like seriously. I do Massage Therapy, for those who do not know. I work at Day Spa Jolie, and it's seriously slow. I normally average about 10 massages a week, and so far I have done 1 this week. The problem isn't that we aren't getting appointments, it is that people are canceling and not showing up for them. So I get excited, but no one comes and I am sitting there waiting for the next phone call or text asking me to come in.

I guess you do what you gotta do. But if you see me and I am bald, please don't be alarmed. I just pulled out all my hair in frustration. Or burned it all trying to perfect a hairstyle, I don't know. The second one may be more humorous....

Having some more fun.

I don't know if I put these up yet or not, but I had to because I love how they turned out!! :) I used Suzanne Wolcott, and Nene Thomas' wonderful artwork to create these masterpieces. The first two are ones I made a few months ago, and the others I made recently. I just love how whimsical they are. :DThis was one I made with my sisters help, one of the first. She had a tutorial she had written I used to make it. It was great to do it with her help.

Why Do I Even BOTHER!?!?!?

I am so done with Lane Bryant, I don't know why they don't fire me or why I don't just quit. I haven't worked there in over 2 months, really. I have been on call every week, and I am so over it. I don't want to work there any more. They don't even treat me nicely when I call, it's like the "Oh it's you again" attitude.

What is wrong with me? Why do I bother to call and get my schedule? Why do I bother to try to keep working there? They obviously don't want me. Why do I keep going back and hoping that they will have work for me when I don't even want to walk into the store to get a paycheck for 3 hours? This is ridiculous. Why do I even bother?

Chop Chop!!!

So... I did it! I totally chopped my hair off! I LOVE it! I think it's SO cute! It was to the middle of my back for a long time, and then I got tired of it and said I wanted a change so my hairdresser cut it to my shoulders. We also dyed it so the color is more of a honey blonde instead of the platinum streaks that were washing me out so badly. I LOVE my hair! it's so stinking cute straight, and curly is so fun! Here's some pictures so you can see what I mean:

Before:
This is me NOW!!
Much shorter, but I love it! I actually need to get a picture of it when it's straight, because it looks SO adorable! I know, it's lame but I got it taken in the mirror! Laughs.

I just want to know

Whatever happened to IMPARTIAL reporting? They only interview the people who HAVE said NO on 8, and never ask anyone about what it means to US whom voted YES on 8!! Everything that is being reported is false, or just stupid. They are attacking the Church, saying that until the election was passed the meetinghouses became headquarters for us to figure out how to support Prop 8 and to get people to vote. I am just outraged, to the point that I can't watch the news or read a paper because all you read is how "so and so is Mormon, and was forced to give money to prop 8" or "So and so is Mormon, and they know that we used our meetinghouses to strong arm people into helping with the campaign" which is BULL!!

If they TRULY want to know what we believe, they should stop attacking us and start asking us. They are continually lumping us with the FLDS church, and I had skimmed an article that said that the Raid in Texas was a Mormon compound. This world is so messed up, it's not right. I am so fed up with hearing this persons furious over prop 8, and this person is livid with the Mormons. I am so fed up with people being ignorant. We shouldn't have to pay for it. We shouldn't have to worry about if we can get into the temple, or if the protesters are going to stop us. We just need to keep being strong. This storm HAS to pass eventually, I just hope that the wake isn't so terrible when it's done.

It's been a while

I have been trying to process everything that has been happening to me lately, and all that has happened with the world. History is being made with Proposition 8, and that makes me sad. We have a black president of our country. We have a LOT of things that are going to shape our future, as well as the future of our economy.

I personally have decided for a change of my own. My hair was down to the middle of my back, and I just cut it to my shoulders. I also allowed my hairdresser free reign with the color of my hair, and walked away with a golden blond color. It's weird for me to have it so short, compared to how long it is but I love it!

I don't know what the future has in store for us. I know that I have had a wonderful experience where the Lord helped me to share my love of the Gospel with one of his children. That isn't something I expected, but I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity.

I don't really have much to report outside of that. I am just sitting here, watching history in the making and wondering how much more history is yet to be written. It's fascinating.
