Finally... Something Worthy of a Post

So, I haven't posted for a long time. That's because my life is basically boring. I work nonstop. That's about it.

What's this post about then you wonder? Hmm... Should I tell you? What could be exciting enough to make me write a post? Could it be a movie? Or a date? Or could it be a rattlesnake? Well folks, it's the latter. I foolishly went hiking on the zigzag trail by myself without a hiking stick or first aid equipment. I had a lovely hike up, though it was quite hot. I enjoyed some nice solitude at the top and read my scriptures and wrote in my journal a bit. I even saw a deer. Then I started back down. About halfway down, I was strolling along and feeling great from the endorphins. Suddenly, I turned a corner and to my left I heard a rattlesnake!! That was the first time I've ever seen one in real life. I immediately stopped and backed up about ten feet, so I could still see it. I pulled out my phone and called my mom. She talked me through throwing rocks at it until it moved away. I was so scared it would bite me. I kept making noise and throwing rocks. I backed up some more because I thought it would come closer to me. Finally, I thought it had moved far enough away it couldn't reach me if I ran past it. So I did just that. I ran past it. I stayed on the phone until Kenny and Hayden met me (Kenny and Morgan had been at my house and they came up to get me when they heard I was stuck). We went the rest of the way down playing Journey on my phone. We got home just before dark. It was a scary experience, and don't worry, Kenny chewed me out for hiking alone.

Utah Lindy Hop Jam Session

This past weekend was the first ever Utah Lindy Hop Jam session. It took place in various venues in Salt Lake. It included social dancing, and competitions. Josh Ferrer and I entered the 30 Second Showcase. This is a competition where a couple choreographs a 30 second routine and them performs it. Only one other couple entered this competition. They've been dancing for a long time, and I only started in the fall. We figured that they might win. Much to our surprise and delight, Josh and I won!!! We each got a trophy, twenty dollars in cash, and a free pass to go dancing on a Friday night (That usually costs five dollars)! So, I had an excellent weekend, and maybe next year I'll enter some of the other competitions, such as Strictly Lindy, or Lindy Jack and Jills. Thanks for reading my blog.

Pedicures!!

I'm offering to give pedicures for a low price. Only $15. Prices are negotiable. I give a full out treatment, including painted toenails at the end. If any of you are interested, you can contact me by commenting on this post, or at my home phone number.

Still Looking

I'm still looking for a job. If any of you have odd jobs you'd be willing to pay me for you should let me know. I've been doing yardwork for my parents and grandparents.

Sisters

I would also like to say that I have the most beautiful sisters in the world. I was looking at all your blogs, and I love to see your beautiful faces. I'm so grateful to be related to such gorgeous, amazing people. You guys are such good examples to me, and I hope that I can measure up to your lives.

Home Sweet Home

I've moved back home for the summer. Hooray for a free washing machine and free groceries! We even have a vacuum right in the house! This place is heaven. I don't even have to do all the cooking when I want to eat something. These brothers of mine don't know how good they have it. I don't have to pay for utilities either!!! Wow! This place just keeps getting better and better. I'm allowed to have pets here, and I get my own room. Plus some of the people I love most live here. And I'm in a prime location to see all the grandkids. Sigh. It's so great to be back home.

Ear Infection

I've had an ear infection for a few weeks now. I went to the doctor a week ago, and he wrote me out a prescription. The prescription was this little bottle of ear drops. I have to put four drops in my ear three times a day. And I have to let them sit in my ear for five minutes. It's not the most convenient medicine. He also told me to put this mixture of vinegar, rubbing alcohol and water in my ear four times a day. I haven't been as strict with that, and now I'm worried that I won't get better as quickly. I'm thinking that this ear infection is from getting my wisdom teeth out last month. Anyway, I know you all are fascinated by my health issues, and desperately wanted to hear that.
