Recharged

Take a closer look at the graphic. Can you see Earth, Fire, Air and Water? You can read it backwards too. I dig mind teasers.

I love this "warm" weather. I'm anxious for my favorite season to start, even the thought of Spring physically does something to me. After these last couple of weeks and my snowy commutes (it took me over 2.5 hours to get home in that snowstorm on Wednesday) I've never been more ready for Spring to come. I hate Winter! Which is probably why I'm in LOVE with Spring. I went for a long walk today and soaked up the sun and along with going with my friends to see Step Up 2 (corny and lacking Channing Tatum), going out for lunch and getting a pedicure yesterday...my batteries are defintely recharged. And if my weekend wasn't great already...I get work off tomorrow. *Sigh* With all this I could probably stick out one more storm.

In case of an emergency I'd grab...

1. MaryKay eye makeup remover (to wipe off my mascara, which is not listed but is a given, right?)

2. LA Looks gel for when I do my hair curly.

3. Yellow eye concealer.

4. Eyelash curler.

5. Five gum.

6. Shea & Cocoa baby lotion.

7. Bare Minerals foundation.

8. Hempz lip gloss.

9. Hanea Mori perfume.

Here's a list of some of my favorite things. Kinda cheesy. I know. I'm just teaching myself how to use Photoshop. I'm loving it.

Still searching...

...for the perfect job. I've finally come to the realization that I'll end up where my Heavenly Father wants me to be. I just hope that when the right job does come around, I won't accidently pass it up. I've had several interviews (some I have completely BOMBED...very embarrassing) over the past couple weeks and I got a job offer today. Halle...freakin'...luja. I'm still trying to decide if it's the right job. I have two options on the table right now and they are completely opposite of each other. I need help deciding.

Seminar Specialist at Ultradent--I'd market, coordinate and set up continuing education seminars for dentist around the US and fun places.

Pros:
-I'd get to travel.
-It pays well. (I can maybe pay off some freakin debt)
-I'd put my hard earned education to use.
-It incorporates everything I'm interested in. (The creative part of marketing and event coordinating)
-Get a company phone and credit card. (I'd feel like a hoity toity (sp?) New York career woman)
-Work with a fun group of girls. (I like making new friends)

Cons:
-I'd be traveling all the time. (When would I meet my future hunky husband?)
-I'd be very, very busy. (stressed...leads to weight gain)
-I'd be working ALL the time. (I'm naturally a lazy person)
-I'd have to do a little public speaking and on occasion have to wine and dine the seminar speaker all by myself. (This really scares me)
-I won't know if I got the job until next WEDNESDAY.

Secretary at a nonprofit law firm--I'd basically be filing, mailing and copying documents for a group of lawyers.

Pros:
-They offered me the job. I have to tell them TOMORROW if I want it or not.
-The job comes with really great benefits. (a ton of paid vacation and sick time)
-It's a very low key, non-stressful atmosphere. (I could wear jeans to work)
-Work would just be a job and not a lifestyle.
-Gives me a chance to relax and not worry about school or work. (Lose some freakin' weight)

Cons:
-The job pays less than what I make right now.
-I can see myself getting bored.
-I'd have to drive downtown.
-I feel like it might be a step backwards rather than forewards.
-I'd might have to get a second job to make ends meet.

So, do you see my dilemma?? Should I hold out for the sexy, glamorous, high stressful job that I don't know if I even have the chance of getting? OR Do I take a paycut and go with the easy, non-stressful job that I actually know that I have? Is this an easy decision? Ugh. I'm confused. What's new?

Whelp...looks like I'll be spending some time on my knees! I'm hoping I can get some insider information from my SIL Marci who works at Ultradent to help me make the desicion.

What would you choose?

Anyways, on a less boring note...or this could be just as boring. Has anyone ever tried edamame? I'm obsessed. It really doesn't taste like much so it's not the taste I'm obsessed with. I think it's the action of sucking the little beans out of the pod. I'm weird, but if you haven't tried it, you should. It just so happens to be really healthy too. Wow, this blog is random. I actually had two bowls of this for dinner tonight AND because it's so healthy I thought I'd offset it with chips and queso and chewy, chocolate chip cookies. YUM


**It's late and my spell checker isn't working and I like to say words in my head and forget to actually type them. So, sorry if this doesn't make any sense.

Currently Reading

Now that school is almost over, I'm so psyched to get back to doing some of my favorite hobbies...like reading. I want join or start a book club. Does anyone already have one? Can I join? Or does anyone want to read with me? I never been in a book club before, SO I don't know book club etiquette. However, I can offer my oh-so-wise (teehee) insights. I get really excited when I discover something great. I feel like I have to share my discoveries with everyone/anyone. AND, this book is one of them. Well, I hope! I'm just about halfway done and it's delightful and inspiring. I hope the ending is just as good as the beginning. It's a quick read so hop on my bandwagon!! The next book I want to read is:

Thanksgiving Highlights

1. Unfortunately, being in the basement when my uncle thought HE was the only one in the basement and hearing him rip the loudest tootertwinkle. lol. I couldn't look him in the face for the rest of the night.

2. Eating tons of yummy food but not over doing it.

3. Going to see Enchanted with the entire Bell clan Thanksgiving afternoon.

4. Watching the entire first season of my new favorite TV show Friday Night Lights with Courtney. I now have a crush on several fictional characters. All I gotta say is Riggins is fetchin' hot stuff. Watch it!

5. Thinking about doing homework but not actually doing any of it.

6. Seeing August Rush with good friends. I really liked this show! It had a good message and good music. I've already downloaded a couple songs.

Highlights reviewed: Basically, I sat around all weekend eating food and watching the boobtube. I think my fatass (pronounced fa-toss) is permanently molded in the couch. Ahhh *sigh* what a GREAT weekend.

I'm in Heaven

Should I feel stupid for tearing up while watching Celine on Oprah yesterday? Yes, I should...BUT I don't! I'm proud of my geeky allegiance to Celine Dion. She just released a new cd today--Taking Chances. I became a devoted fan when I first heard The Power of Love playing while skating at the 49th Street Galleria for my 10th birthday party. I bought my first cassette tape-- the Beauty and the Beast soundtrack so I could listen to Tale is Old as Time. Foxy Brown and I would listen and sing along to albums Lets Talk about Love and Falling into You while playing Nintendo. I can listen to If That's What it Takes repeatedly without EVER getting sick of it! The song I'm Alive reminds me of my spring semester of my freshman year in college. I can go on and on, every song has a memory. So CHEESY...I know! I love her new single Taking Chances you can listen to it HERE.

How to worship your idol:

Step 1: Find the perfect pumpkin.

Step 2: Prepare your pumpkin for its future greatness.

Step 3: Spend hours carving every little detail.

Ta-da!
Celine Dion wishes you a very Happy Halloween!

I'm so excited...AND I just can't hide it....

Thursday is my favorite day! ...Do you know why? I get to watch my favorite shows! YES! I'm addicted to Grey's Anatomy! I liked it at first but I was hooked when Denny died...remember that? I was depressed for a week as I moped around listening to Snow Patrol. I finally got over it but I realized I'd changed inside! I had become a Grey's Anatomy fanatic! Yes...it's true. I never miss an episode!

I Heart The Office!

I freakin' love this show! I giggle during the ENTIRE show every time. I have a major crush on Jim and if I ever met someone like Dwight (Hotty below)

...I'm pretty sure I would fall for him too. We are having an Office marathon right now so we can start the 4th season off right. I sure hope Pam and Jim finally hook up. OOH...the suspense is killing me!

I have so much to blog about!

I have lots of fun things to blog about! Yea...I'm so excited. I'm just waiting to get my pics from Lake Powell this past weekend and the golf tournament. I think I'm getting a little obsessed about blogging. Anyhoo, I am reading this awesome book! My nose has been in it this entire weekend. Mike Ramsdell, the author, was born and raised in Utah. He writes about his suspenseful missions while he was working as an intelligence officer in Russia. Again, I love a good book...what is your favorite book?

I am obsessed with Bear Grylls

I have a new crush! Bear Grylls! He is on the show Man vs. Wild on the Discovery Channel. They drop him out of an airplane and he has to survive in the middle of no where. There is something about a guy who can get you out of any situation! The only bad thing is he eats bugs for fun. I guess you have to take the good with the bad.
