Knee

I totally messed up my knee playing indoor soccer on Saturday. I guess I completely tore my ACL and other things. Basically, I'm really hurt and need surgery. There are definitely pros and cons to messing up your knee:

Cons:

• Crutches make my arms really sore
• Physical therapy is the worst. I may or may not have cried for a second.
• My office building is not handicap friendly. All of the doors are really hard to open when you don't really have any free hands.

Pros:

• It is a great conversation starter. I have talked to tons of people in our office building that I've never talked to before and I've been working there for a year and a half.
• My nieces are my slaves. They'll pretty much do anything I ask.
• I love being put under. I'm always really happy when I come out of it.
• I have a job that is willing to work with all of my appointments and everyone has been pretty nice about the whole situation.
• But most of all, I got to fulfill one of my long-time goals. I finally got to (legally) drive an electric wheelchair!

 

I really shouldn't have gone out in public wearing that but it's kind of hard to do laundry and I was going to Wal-Mart so I knew I wouldn't be the worst dressed person there.

Surgery on the 6th of September. Can't wait!!

Family

The past few months have been full of changes and some struggles. I've been humbled quite a bit and have learned a lot of life lessons. It has been hard at times but I've really had to rely on people more than I'd like. I don't know how to describe it but my family has really stepped it up and helped me in ways that can't even be put into words.

These people mean the world to me. Each and every one of them have a special place in my heart. I'm grateful I have a such an amazing family. I get to spend the week with them at our cabin next week and I can hardly wait. I love you guys!

The guys at work watch a lot of ESPN so we've been watching a lot of soccer games lately. Luckily, soccer is probably one of the only sports I enjoy watching on TV. I've decided that soccer players are probably the most attractive athletes. Don't agree?

David Beckham. Case and point.

I'm so sorry

Hi Blog Stalkers. I am so sorry for neglecting this blog so badly for the last little bit. My life has been a little busy. I'm going to pull a classic accountant move and blame it on tax season.

Speaking of tax season, I lived through it. It was full of late hours and early mornings but I really did enjoy it. Yep, I'm a huge weirdo and I'll be the first one to admit that. 

I've also been hanging out with one of my favorite people, Miss Jazzy Jazz. Her birth name is Jaclyne but I call her Jazzy or Jazz. I'm really good at handing out stupid nicknames so just watch out! She's the best and some day I'm going to blog about her for the world to see... but for now you'll just have to enjoy this:

Dreams

I absolutely love dreams. I was basically sick all last week. I had this annoying headache that wouldn't go away no matter what I took. The only thing good about that illness was the effect it had on my sleep. It took me forever to fall asleep but when I finally would, I had some crazy dreams. I've forgotten most of them but I do remember my grandma- who is 80 and just broke her hip- being pregnant and being completely freaked out. It was because I was selfish. I was freaking out because I thought they were too old to be having a baby and I didn't want to be stuck with it when they died.

How nasty....

I also had a dream that my cousin convinced me to run for student body president or something. I did and I actually won. It was sooo stressful because that just isn't my style. I am not social- I'd argue that I'm socially awkward and I don't think I'd have many arguing that I'm not. 

I guess I have been stressed out? I'm happy to be feeling better and will try to be better about blogging.

Blog Stalkers

Hello stalkers and followers. I am going to do a 30 day blog challenge but I'm going to do it my own way. There's no way I'm going to blog every day and I might skip some of the challenges that I think are stupid. This will make creepin' on me a little easier. You're welcome.

First challenge: A picture of yourself and a description of how your day was.

I was really lazy about finding a picture so this one is kind of old but I don't think I look that different. I guess I wasn't bowling well that night.

My day was pretty good today but not very exciting. I woke up early and arrived at work around 7:20 AM. You know your day is going to be awesome when you work 10 hours starting that early. The day felt pretty long but it wasn't too terrible. I will going to the gym and then hopefully going to bed early because I'm going to be working 10 more hours tomorrow. Woot!

I'm sorry

I'm sorry to all of you for neglecting my blog for so long. I got a job in Cottonwood Heights and I feel like I'm barely getting adjusted to everything but I'm sure that will change soon. I really love Salt Lake. I am so much happier up here and I'm sure the only reason is because it is where I'm supposed to be. I have learned quite a few things about myself since I've moved. I guess I don't mind doing things by myself. I have no problem going to get some food and getting it to stay. I sit by myself and enjoy it. Yep, I'm now that weirdo. I know you have all been missing the ridiculous infomercials I stumble upon so enjoy this one and hopefully it will make up for my neglect.

I NEED this!
