10 Things

Hello my long lost friends! It seems like its been an eternity since I sat down to write. But trust me, there has been so much going on, and I have wanted to write so badly lately, but my bed was just sooooo comfortable, and I was just soooooo darn tired! :) Please forgive me!

Aaaahheeemm: Let's see....where shall we start?

First of all I need to get some stuff off my mind. I keep saying to myself as these things keep creeping back in "I need to blog about that" and when I finally sit down to blog, I think..." but lord, that will be a novel!" So, I have decided to make a list! (Thanks Heather, grocerystorelife.blogspot.com)

1. I am constantly afraid that I am not going to remember something. Like a word of note, or a song lyric, or something profound and of importance. I keep saying...write that down, Amy. But I never do! (Any suggestions?) Do you guys worry about that too? And if you do, what do you do about it?

2. I became an overnight plumber! It was a hillarious story that I will have to diverge more detail in later, but let's just say this: took my sink apart, couldn't put it back together, found out what a "pipe snake" was, used said "pipe snake", sewage all over me and the ground, and the sink, and the floor. Yep. Just imagine it. Nuff said!

3. Love, Love Love my job! Did I mention that I love my job? Love it! I have become so involved with the community here! I have already been elected as a chairperson on the Council for the Aging as the fundraising coordinator! Fun stuff! And I have met some key people here who have just catapulted me in the right direction! And my boss rocks!

4. I have deemed this year (once again) the year that I am going to be my healthiest and thinnest and hottest! In that order. Heath first, thinner next, and hot if I'm lucky! So to execute such plan, my sister and friend Kahyla are beginning working out at a place called Wonder Women! The name is enough motivation in itself! Go me! So there, its out to the public now, so I can't back down!

5. I still miss home, but I am beginning to like it here more and more. The single life is fun again, finally. I am just itching to see what is around the next bend! So much to discover!

6. I am going to make a list of 10 things I can do this year to cross off my to-do fun-stuff list. I know a couple right now: go on a hot air balloon ride, ride a horse, do one of those fake bull-ride thingamajigeys, and go to an awesome concert.

7. I saw an awesome speaker tonight at Tanner Health Systems. Her name was Christine Clifford, and she is a cancer survivor. Ironically, this past monday, I went to visit my mother's grave. She passed of cancer when I was 14 years old. I guess it had been like 10 years or more since I had been to her grave. The best part of the whole trip was meeting a little old man there. His wife had died about 2 years ago, and her grave was covered in a plethora of roses! He brought her one everyday or a bouquet once a week. They had been married for 60 years, and he still cried when he talked about her death. I hope to find a love like that one day.

8. I have seen more possums here than I have underwear! Oh, and I hit one and a raccoon one night on the same street. Within 10 minutes of each other.

9. I am going to start doing a new recipe of the week. Preferably low calorie and low fat! So, if you have any awesome recipes to share...send em my way. I'll post pics and variations, and my true opinion of the dish. Hmmmm...let's call it...the dish on the dish. Sound good?

10. I love all of you readers out there!

So, there you have it folks. My life in 10 short bullet points. (Oh! speaking of bullets, Ryan and Kahyla are taking me to the shooting range to shoot my first gun. Eeeek. I'm sooo excited about that!)

The best is yet to come!
