So not used to this...

So, of late, I have been out and about. Not in the normal way, but in a way I don't really do. I am a homebody. I like to stay home, and do really nothing, just chilling, and this suits me just fun. Normally, my weekdays went as follows: I would work, come home, watch me just a touch of TV (usually the Ellen Degeneres Show) and then I run, do some P90X, and by the time I'm done with this, it's just enough time to get ready for bed and then sleeping. I like routine, so clearly, this worked for me.
Then, I decided to get all "active" in my ward, so now, I go to the activities and all that jazz, and this cuts into my time of normal-ness. I understand that its a good idea to go to everything, and all that jazz, but I tell ya, I'm getting worn out! I haven't done my normal thing in like, 2 weeks maybe now. I know that doesn't seem like a big deal, but to me, cutting into my routine, even for a couple of days, throws me way off. On Monday we did some FHE action, of sports night, so we played soccer, in which I played with no shoes and bruised the hell out of my leg/foot, and then Tuesday was a Tri-Stake BBQ, so all we did was just hang out and eat with people before going to a Fiesta del Mexico for the Independence day of Mexico. Then this evening, we took a friend out for dinner who's getting married, so by now, I am all out of whack.
I appreciate that getting out is good for me, but I miss doing things my way! I miss doing my evening workouts, and I miss watching my TV shows-which are piling up because it's the dumb beginning of the seasons so now I have a billion hours of TV to watch. I know this whole blog has been a selfish rant, but I don't even care! Tomorrow night, I'll be back into my thing, at least for one night. As for the rest of the time...we'll see what things bring us!

First time for everything...

I don't embarrass at all. Everyone knows this, heck, I usually could care less what people think to be embarrassed by my actions. I think that today, I might have had my first embarrassing moment! Luckily for me, I was only around one other person, PJ (who else would it have been?) and I'm pretty sure that the people who were in their front lawns weren't paying attention at all.
So we went on this looong walk today, to bask in the nice-ness of the weather. We originally were going to go on a hike, but we couldn't figure out where there was one in our area. During the walk, I noticed that the front of my shoes were way longer than my feet, but of course I didn't think much of it. As we were nearing my house, there was a bee that was, I swear, following us. PJ took off running to get away from it, and I just laughed at her. Then that bee came back for me! I tried to be calm, because I hear that's what you're supposed to do to get bees away from you, but that bee was having none of it. I took off running to get away from it, kinda laughing, and that's when it happened.
I don't even know what happened, but all of a sudden, the ground was coming up at me quite quickly. As I hit the ground, hands out, palms scraping, all I could think of was, I should roll when I hit the ground. Why did I think this? I have no idea, but in my brain, I think I thought it would hurt less if I rolled. So I did, I rolled, hurting elbows, scraping legs, until I came to a stop, a little dazed and out of breath, but alive! My hands hurt for the rest of the day, but today, here I am, no worse for the wear. And at least I now know what its like to have a full-out, hit the ground trip. And it was awesome.

Boredom strikes again

So, a looong time ago, I blogged about how I get bored of my cell phones quite quickly. This is still true today. My phones never never break, but after about a year, I just am so sick of them! I got my last cell phone, oh, about 14 months ago, and lately, I've been getting so tired of it. Like, there's nothing wrong with it, and the phones I like always look the same, so it doesn't even matter that I get a new one, but I wanted to! So this week, I finally did.
I got the bug for the new one over the weekend, I saw this phone as I was walking past one of those phone kiosks in the mall. You know the ones, as soon as you glance over at the booth, a salesperson is about ready to jump over the counter to get to you. After I walked away from the super-friendly salesman, I was thinking about the phone the rest of the weekend. On Monday, I did some researching, and I decided I liked this phone, so after work, I hopped myself over to the phone store and bought it! I know I probably shouldn't be buying a phone when I don't need it, but I just wanted it, so I just went ahead and did it. And this is a picture of my new phone:
I love that it has both the bar keyboard, for the regular texting, but also has the QWERTY keyboard for when I feel like mixing it up, which is just a lot of fun. I loves my new phone, and I'm hopingthat I won't get too sick of this one too quickly.
