Okay, okay, life is not that bad. Actually, I'm having a pretty good summer. I mean, my social life is almost nonexistent (excluding the few awesome board game nights we've had at Matt's...who knew scrabble could be so outrageously fantastic?), but I've been doing some mediocrely awesome stuff. Here's a list of stuff that has made up my summer (3 weeks so far-I'm sure the summer will get better as it moves along...one can hope). List:
- Work. The event that takes up most my time. And, yes, I am still completing the most mundane jobs. However, I had a lovely chat with Nan, my boss, yesterday as we were cutting scrap paper into usable pieces. She thoughtfully explained to me that work is work, and even if it doesn't seem to mean anything to me, it means something to her. So, that doesn't really make my job any less tedious or any more glamorous, but at least someone appreciates the fact that I spent two hours polishing a silver tray that gave me a headache from the fumes. Also, for those of you who are unaware, I work with my Uncle Wes, and I'm pretty sure that he's aware of my mind numbing tasks. A week ago, he took me to the warehouse and had me outfitted with some gloves, safety glasses, and a smock. I spent the rest of the day cutting aluminum on his band saw. Which, by the way, I think is pretty awesome. As of now, I am much more experienced in mechanic-y things than my brother, Kyle.
- Experiencing BYU. Ha ha. It makes me laugh. BYU, I mean. It's just funny how different SUU and BYU are. Actually, I believe this topic deserves its own post. So, I will expound on this later.
- Running. Hooray for running! If you can't tell, I love to run. It's my fave. Really. There is nothing better. I have pretty much decided that running is my only true love. Well, maybe pretzels too. So, my first week of work I was running after work, around 5:30. But then I decided to try running at 6:00 in the morning instead, so that I had more time in the afternoon to do...other stuff. But, yeah-I LOVE running in the morning. Ees the best. It sounds cheesy-but running at that time is so pretty. I mean, there aren't very many people out that early and everything is just so peaceful and beautiful. But I'm going to stop talking about it because I feel very retarded talking about how the dew on the grass smells so sweet, and how the air is so crisp and...etc. etc. You get the picture. Also, this predicament may just explain my absence of a raging social life-I have to go to bed so darn early.
- Sewing. I'm sewing myself a quilt. And, actually, it is not moving very quickly. I sewed most of it last summer. In fact, my plan was to have it finished before I moved out-you know, clear back in August- but lots of stuff kept happening, and, well, it just never got finished. So, now the quilt pieces are sitting there, ready to be sewn together, and I am working on it very slowly. I blame the slow moving on the purpose behind it. When I started making the quilt, I decided that I'd put it in my cedar chest until I got married-then it'd serve as mine and my husband's bed spread. Cute, right? However, I am nowhere near considering marriage, so the need to finish the quilt has been depleted considerably. But I really want to start another project eventually...so I will finish someday. Hopefully.
- Cake decorating. I'm taking a cake decorating class and it is the bomb! I have been having so much fun. I love to bake-and being able to make my goods attractive makes all the difference. It is fantastic and a half. And, okay this comment is completely random but somehow extremely important, this lady in my class has a Power Ranger cake pan mold. How awesome is that? And I was looking online and there is also a Powerpuff Girl pan. And a Harry Potter one (not for me...for the friends). It is unfortunate that I am a poor college student and can't spend 20 dollars on something that's pretty unnecessary. Someday...someday.

You're at BYU, for heavens sake, I wouldn't be putting off that quilt for too long. ;) Then again, you are there during the summer, so you might get away ring-less...
