reliving the glory days

While walking through the grocery store the other day I saw some GoGurt. It reminded me of my childhood so I decided to get some. I was then in the snack section and saw snack packs which also reminded me of my earlier years. I then decided to walk through the entire store and buy things for my trip down memory lane. I was fully loaded with the above mentioned items along with String Cheese, Squeeze-Its, Capri Sun, Chewy Granola Bars, Otter Pops, Animal Crackers, Fruity Pebbles and Pop Tarts. As I looked into my childish eyes which were the items in my cart I slowly formulated a question to as myself. "How are you still alive?" I don't think there was a single nutrient in my entire cart (except maybe the Dr Pepper that wasn't part of my flash back, but I didn't know for sure). I thought back to my youth again trying to see vegetables and fruits in there. I definitely found them, but they were never the things that stuck out. I took another lap around the store and added baby carrots and some canned veggies. I felt a lot better about myself after adding them back into my life and restructuring the pyramid of my youth. All the food is pretty much gone now but I don't have a can opener and it just isn't right to eat carrots without Ranch...

online crowds

So it turns out you can find awesome deals the day after Thanksgiving. Who would have thought? So I'm kind of addicted to shopping for things online. Granted so far all I've bought is DVDs, but it's pretty nice. Turns out Best Buy has over 400 DVDs on sale online, which is pretty great. It sure beats having to cram into the stores and fight the crowds. No worries about parking. No disgruntled sales clerks. Just pure internet bliss...

a couple of couples

With the family gathering together for Thanksgiving festivities I've come to notice one thing painfully clear. I'm single. With my parents being married, my oldest sibling being married, and my next oldest sibling heavily in a relationship, I only become more aware of how much not in a relationship I am. The two siblings younger than me that are close-ish to my age are gone too. So the singles are just me and Tag, the 13-year-old...I thought singles awareness day was in February...

There's not a lot worse...

So I woke up this morning to my alarm playing "sleepless" by Until June (I thought that would make me not so tired when I woke up). Due to the NyQuil taken roughly eight hours before I was finding it very difficult to get myself out of bed. Fortunately I didn't fall asleep again before I could force myself out of bed. I took a shower and downed some quick breakfast. I was about to check the syllabus for my first class to see what the reading was that I hadn't completed, but realized that I only barely had enough time to get to class so it wouldn't matter. I trudged through the bitter cold that is November as it sweeps through Utah valley. I took the stairs of insanity two at a time and walked briskly to the Brimhall building. Once in I ran up the stairs to the third floor. Trying to return my breathing to a normal indoor level I walked to the other side of the building where my class was.........was not. A note on the board said, "No class today. In the syllabus today is listed as a preparation for case analysis day, have a good one." Thoughts flashed through my mind...the snooze button, an actual breakfast, walking to school in the afternoon instead of the bitter morning, taking the steps one at a time with a lunch break in the middle, SLEEEEEEEEEEP!

I guess that's what I get for taking NyQuil last Wednesday too and sleeping though this class on Thursday.
