Sometimes fortune cookies say it the best, believe it or not:
-Don't let unexpected situations "throw" you.
I couldn't have said this any better, thank you little fortune cookie.
I'm pretty positive I've mentioned this to everyone... and their mother. However, It has happened to be on my mind, again. There are a few things I told myself I would never do:
1. Live in Utah.
2. Go to a church school.
3. Get rid of my California plates.
4. Join a book club.
5. Own books, actually want to buy them, and actually like them (now don't get me wrong, I'm not my mother....or at least yet).
6. Consider someone in a "different light". This one has shocked me the most.
etc...The list keeps growing. I find it funny that I keep proving myself wrong, Constantly. It's almost sickening.
So, yes. I've been included in a book club. We are currently reading President Monson's biography. I'm not very far in to the book, but I'm cool with it. I still find it weird that Wal Mart has an LDS book section. Only in Utah...or Idaho.
I finally got the bed! A solid oak queen size bed, that is. It's amazing. I love how I was told that It wasn't heavy, it's very easy to assemble, and even easier to move by myself. Yeah, that was SO wrong. I came to this realization when my bed was delivered. Two full size men were having difficulties carrying the headboard, just the headboard. Oh man. Buyers remorse? nope. not yet. I'm sure it will hit soon though.
We got a love sac. Hilarious. I don't know how we shoved it in Kara's car, or how we rolled it up the stairs. These things are massive.
Glenn comes home in 12 days! Ahhhh. I'm excited to fly home with Tegan and Emi. I think this may possibly be Tegan's first plane ride. So exciting.
I have quite a few crazy clients, I found out that one of them lives in my complex. Luckily, she still doesn't know what I look like. I try to avoid her whenever she comes in to the office. I can see myself seeing her at the pool, the hot tub, in the leasing office, working out, or just around the complex. That would be awkward. She would probably just want to talk trash about her ex.
I had to go to court today. It was incredibly nerve-wracking. Even more so when the Commissioner read my name from the judges seat. It also didn't help my nerves that the opposing counsel called me a liar in her affidavit against me. Fun though. I got to know how the whole system works. I'm hoping that they don't call me back to testify. They just might.
Kara's brother is a little stud. I'm his wifey, and have been for the last couple of years. His music is amazing. We went to support him at one of his concerts. The venue was skeptical. We joked that we were pretty sure you could get herpes from the place. Anyway, it was still fun. He has an awesome band, and I'm sure he will go places with his music.

It is perfectly normal for two heterosexual woman to live together and be roommates. Okay, Utah?
Example: When Kara and I were looking for apartments in Vegas, they always assumed that we were looking for one bedroom. "Umm, no. That will be two bedrooms". Understandable though, it's vegas, right?
but in Utah (of all places) we go grocery shopping together. This is perfectly normal. So this one time, It just so happened to be Valentines Day. While we were checking out, Kara asked If I could put the groceries in my car, because she couldn't open her trunk (it was broken). The cashier turned to us and said: "Oh, do you have a Valentines day present in there"? but she was implying that we were Valentines, and the present was for me. Eww.
And it's totally normal that we are now on a cell phone family plan. It's cheaper that way.
I need a man.
Anyway, my heterosexual roommate and I had tilapia tonight. I'm a fan, and it adds to my 2011 goal of eating more seafood, and trying new things.
Current Happenings:
1. I lost a bet to Kara.......hence: "So you want to make out?" said the little 5'2" man.
2. The ducks we have were cute, at first. Now they are the most annoying thing, especially in the morning. I secretly want to run one over.
3. We got a microwave. We are moving up in the world.
4. I wore black nail polish today for the first time.
5. I went bed shopping with my friend, Derrick. I hope he didn't feel awkward. Everyone thought we were married. They asked him to lay down on the bed with me. Hah.
6. I purchased said bed. I don't get it until Thursday.
7. I got a new phone. I worked the system. The kid gave it to me for free, plus I get the $50 dollar rebate. Sucka.
8. I indexed over 1,000 names for the month of February. What now?

| I'm not going to yield for this crossing, watch out ducks. |
Remember last time when I said I was 100% sure I'd have a job by Monday. Well, I one-upped myself. I had a job by last Friday. Bomb.
Why get a job that has something and everything to do with your major when you can completely step outside of the box, and do something entirely unrelated? It makes life that much more interesting. Seriously, though. I feel like I'm back in school. I want to read books related to law and learn everything I can. I may eventually go back to school. We shall see.
Although I do like being a legal secretary, I honestly wish I could have done something with my major. I will get to that point someday. The lawyers are all incredibly good to me. They told me that they still want me to interview with the hospital, and If I get a job, that I am to take it. They are so sweet. I wouldn't do that though. Once I invest in something, especially something where I'm learning a new skill, I stick with it for a long time. I like stability.
I need to read a book on how to: Organize and motivate your boss. This one lawyer is going to drive me insane. I've taken it upon myself to make a better lawyer out of him. When I say better lawyer, I mean a lawyer who is organized and meets his deadlines. We will see how it goes. I like a challenge though-Bring it.
Current realizations:
1. Court clerks are not very happy people.
2. I'm still living out of my purse. When a security guard asks me if I have scissors in my purse, I probably do. Just let him check it, don't argue it....especially when it's at the courthouse.
3. Everyone wants to hook me up with someone.
4. Some girls are just trashy, and not very lady like.
5. I love heated blankets.
6. I make friends with the awkward ones. Maybe this makes me awkward.
7. I visited another church today. There is nothing more normal and right about my church.
8. The Super Bowl was today. I didn't watch it, but the Packers won. Glenn would be proud. I miss seeing him wear his huge oversized Packers coat. those were the days.
And tomorrow starts another week.

One good thing about my internship (besides the observing and it being over) is that it some how addicted me to blogging. I don't know how anything medically related connects with blogging, but it happened. Currently I'm jobless, which just adds to the addiction/obsession.
Since being jobless and moving to Utah:
1. I've read 5 books. I recommend the hunger games. I guess I'm heartless because I didn't cry through them (like most of my friends). The book is well written. It makes you think.
2. Probably most important: I've been able to get to know the malls again.
3. Had some interesting interviews.
4. Indexed: 206 names (and counting).
5. Learned to navigate through the University of Utah, the University Hospital, and the Huntsman Cancer Hospital. Cool.
6. Signed up for an institute class, and have actually attended (even though Utard singles are crazy).
7. Worked out for a week straight (until I lost the free-trial gym membership. Don't judge. I would jog or do something outside, but it's snowy and icy).
8. Updated myself with all my friend's business (fbook).
9. Have become addicted to B&D's peanut butter/chocolate shakes.
10. Played the Kinect. I will own one.
11. Tried sushi.
12. Went to Park City.
13. Went ice skating twice.
14. Went bowling.
15. Have been catching up on Arrested Development episodes. Hilarious.
16. And lastly, I've come to the realizations that:
I miss my planner.
2010 was a good year.
I miss wearing shorts and sandals.
I enjoy wearing a towel.
my nails are never-nudes..... just like Tobias on Arrested Development.
I'm going to like my bishop because he said damn over the pulpit.
I accidentally check out married men. It's not on purpose.
The kid I've been crushing on for too long, isn't the kid that I actually dig. It's his friend.
(well, actually it would be nice if I could find a mix of them both...story of my life. Oh well, college is over)
So what I'm basically saying is all I do is: Eat, poop, and sleep. I'm reverting back to my old ways. It's okay though. I'm 100% sure that I will have a job by Monday.

| The planner. Not just a calendar, good advice as well. |
Happy 25th day of the month. The 25th day means that this dude only has two more months!
Christmas was good. We decided to try and make new traditions this year. The traditional Christmas dinner has become boring to the Browns. We had a fiesta instead. No joke. Next year I hope we actually have everyone wear a sombrero and a mustache. On Christmas Eve we had a gift exchange. Everyone had to get their gift from the local dollar store. Ghetto? Nope, Ghetto fabulous......and quite hysterical. We also ditched the traditional pie. We had an ice cream bar instead with homemade waffle cones that my mom and I made.Emi and Jon couldn't come, but Erik and Coreena were able to. It will be nice to have Glenn home for Christmas again in 2011. It's about time.
 |
| He is already eating with a fork, he is getting so big. |
 |
| Letter to Santa |
 |
| Gene put some treats together for Santa. The carrot is for the reindeer. |
 |
| New tradition: The waffle cone |
 |
| We also went to the beach on Christmas Day |
 |
| We also hit up the Zoo. Perfect timing. These guys are my fav. |
 |
| I love the comb over. |
 |
| I spent New Years reading books to this kid. Loved it. |
