New Years Resolutions

I actually want to achieve something this year.

1. Get a 4.0...ambitious much?
2. Read BEFORE class
3. Pretty much be like Beth
4. Read my scriptures daily
5. Pray morning and night
6. Make my drivers license correct again...
7. Complete a half-marathon and maybe a full...
8. Practice dance more. Make a gold class.
9. Stop biting my nails.
10. Think of others more often.
11. Make a new friend or two.


I know a lot of these are vague, but I feel like I have been stagnant for awhile in my progress of becoming a better person. I want to live a better quality of life, and I feel like I have a lot of opportunity that I don't take advantage of, so 2009 is my year.

Ready. Set. Go.

Christmas

I hate college because you are so caught up in the coming of finals, you completely miss the Christmas season. I was a crappy secret sister. I'm really sorry. I can't believe it's Christmas Eve. I haven't thought about one other person, and I feel horrible.

I hope everyone finds happiness and comfort and peace this next year.

catching up

I haven't blogged in awhile. I'm pretty bad at the whole blogging thing. I do this with my journal too. I write about once a month, but I remember back in elementary when I wrote EVERYday and it's kind of fun to look back and remember what I was doing a year ago. It's sometimes hard to remember the weekend sometimes. I fear Alzheimer's is settling in too soon.

So I'm at the grandparent's house for Christmas. My grandma gives me taco soup with huge chunks of beef and says, "you can eat that right?" Um, no...I am, um, pretty sure that's, um, meat in there....yeah, so I, uh, don't eat that. Every five minutes she always asks me if I'm finding anything to eat. Yes, Grandma, I'm eating. She means well. I just hate the look on her face when I refuse her cooking. It's the disappointment that she can't help. But I just love that she's around. I don't even bring up the vegan thing. When I come home, I downgrade to vegetarian when there are no other options. I miss soy milk :(

Here's the intinerary: Christmas Eve feast. Christmas morning breakfast feast. Christmas night feast. Day after Christmas feast. That's a lot of food. I guess we're going out of this year with a bang. The cool thing is that A LOT of my family is going to be together. The most we've had in a long time. My family is crazy and loud and talkative and gossipy and obnoxious and quirky and I love them. This should be fun.

Merry Christmas Eve.
