I'll tell you what I want. . .what I really really want. . .

Christmas was great. Time with the family. New TV!!!! YAY!!!

We also got snow. Which gets me to what I want. . .I want a 4x4. Dang, there was tons of snow and the roads were snow packed from yesterday. The problem is that I don't have much extra money to throw at another vehicle and I love my chevy malibu. I have really been afraid to drive in the snow because of other people and the fact that sometimes the snow hits the bottom of my car. I have found a few 4 wheel drive vehicles that are under $1000 but I am still iffy about things. I don't know, I just know that the utah snow is horrible and I hate driving it and go figure I love it all at the same time. I also like vehicles that are higher up than a car so that the lights aren't in my eyes.

Its snowing, I hurt, I'm tired, and everyone is waiting. . .

I came home from work early since I don't feel well. Lets blame the weather, not eating extremely well, and I'm tired.

So. . .I sit cuddled in blankets typing what my audience wants to read.

My semi-blind date
. . .and no I don't mean that he was blind either! ;)

Lets start at the very beginning. . .before the date. My co-worker kind of set us up. . .by kind of set up I mean she told us about each other and gave him my phone number and told him to call me. She showed me pictures of him on facebook and said that she gave him my phone number. I was kind of scared, so I thought well, we could get to know each other on facebook. That was about a month ago, and nothing had happened. I was thinking, you know wait until after finals and such. Finals week ended on December 12th and I waited. . . and waited and waited. . .I am somewhat impatient. . .and it got to me. So I sent him a e-mail on facebook on Monday. He replied on tuesday.

We went to Bistro 258 because I had a gift certificate (yummy food!) and went to see Australia. Both of which were great. The WW2 sceenes in Australia were fictionalized, but it was good anyway. . .action and romance are usually a good combination for me. Besides, if you want a little eye candy Hugh Jackman is your man. . .Mmm Mmm good! I had to remember I was on a date and not say anything about his hotness. Hey Melissa this one is for you . . . ;) He is a tall glass of cold water! hee hee.

We talked about everything at lunch/dinner (we went at 2:45). Family, school & grad school, food, cooking. . .life in general. He is such a sweet positive person. I want to get to know him better. He is kind of shy though, which is okay. He told me about his accident (he is paralyzed) and how thankful he is that he doesn't have brain damage. WOW, very positive! He always smiled and has great blue eyes. I know that to many girls it matters that a guy who they go on a date with is in a wheelchair. I had no problem with it, I really didn't see it, I just saw him.

When it was over he made sure my car was still there (I parked in 2 hour parking not realizing that the show in 2 hours and 45 minutes) and we hugged and went our separate ways. The rest is history.

I would like to get to know him better and I hope that he thinks about asking me out.

Now I'm to the point of over thinking things. . .but I don't need to. Friendship is a great place to start.

. . .

My eyes are not focusing and my vision is fuzzy. . .lack of sleep.
I have a date at 2:45 for lunch/dinner and a movie. . .Australia. . .this should be interesting since it is a semi blind date.

More to come. . .later. . .and I don't know what that means.

Duck, Duck, Goose!

My daddy is cute

So, I just have to say that my dad sent me a link for and article on etsy from KSL. He called me to ask if I had checked my e-mail and got the link. I have been working on jewelry to sell for extra income. He was so excited and it is cute that he is trying to help me. . . :oD (I knew about etsy but I have been hesitant about getting an account there because I don't have the confidence that my jewelry will sell there. I also don't have a credit card I want to be charged for listings and such.) I am going to start a blog with all of my jewelry and have in home shows. I already have people who want to come.
