Please Don't Hate Me Because I'm Trendy
(That is from a Reel Big Fish song, p.s.) Yesterday, I spent my Target gift card on a jacket. I've never really been into big jackets. Here goes nothin'!
Turn Left On Memory Lane
Wednesday, September 24, 2008
Harrison, some other coworkers and I overrode the "yay for 6 packs" cheer at work after our meeting. Yeah, we limped our manager. Da best!
Another facial up in Midway. I'm getting over the whole "naked thing." Whit is very modest about the whole thing. I have a robe and she leaves the room any time there isn't a robe. To much info? Sorry. It was a large hurdle for me!
Driving home, I stopped by my Wallsburg. I turned on some nice piano music and thought about good memories had with Bubba there. I miss him way too much. There was a girl getting her bridals done up there...Fall leaves contrasting her white dress...it was gorgeous. My C'rolla decided to go off-roading. I couldn't believe I actually made it BACK UP the muddy hill I went down. Man, everything I do these days is so last second.
I took a few fotos with my cell and had some nice one-on-one time with God. It was really, really neat.

Down Here, It's Our Time
Saturday, September 20, 2008
I went against everything that was telling me not to and road tripped it down to Cedar City with Mike (and his black lab, Lexi) to see Bubba. It was one of the best weekends I have had in a while. First, I spilled my soul to Bubba, finally told him how I felt about things--you'd think that would be one of the hardest things ever, but I felt really good about it. I think it was just time.
Second, I AM NOW A GOONIE! We hiked up Kanarra Falls (between Cedar and San Jorge). Actions speak louder than and are worth a thousand...wait...anyway, here are some photos:
Natural rock slides!

C'rolla, I Love Ya, But...
Thursday September 18, 2008
Today, I locked myself out of my car. If you know me at all, you will know this is a regular occurrence. For whatever reason, a '98 Toyota Corolla is impossible for cops to jimmy rig the window, so I'm hopeless without spare keys. I used to have 7...I'm down to O-N-E. This time, after calling my parents and getting no answer, I began to weigh out my options. I decided to call up some old friends- an uncomfortable thing sometimes, not gonna lie. I'm all about challenges these days, though. My one buddy was very willing to drive me, but was stuck in the library. He ended up inviting me to a party this weekend. Cool- glad I called. Anywho-April ended up saving me.

Ir de Compras

I splurged and went nuts at Savers. I got 3 dresses, 3 pair of pants and a jacket. I know, Roo doesn't wear dresses. Think again! I also got a bunch of art supplies so I have no excuse to not paint.
I love Ebay! Can I just tell you that? I got a pattern to make a kangaroo costume for like $5. Sa-weet! I called up April and we fabric shopped.
Also my new dress from Savers reminds me of a 50s mom, so Andj and I thought it would be funny to pull this pose and photoshop some sweet hair in. The canned peaches, however are not photoshopped.

A New Rew
Tuesday, September 16, 2008
I went salsa dancing. Kind of a big deal. It was..okay. April and I both got asked a few times, but mostly just moved our feet the whole time. Bambi decided to hit her car-scary!
I agreed to a blind date with Richard G Scott...only he's 22 and not an apostle.
My dear friend M Rachel called today and I decided she was much more important than work and I would have hated myself if I hadn't answered that call. She lives in Oklahoma nowadays playing the softballs. Man, it was good to hear her voice!
I invested in mineral makeup today and decided I will stop putting off getting a "Glamour Shot" done. See, my grandma gave me $100 bucks last year for my birthday to get this done and I...well, I've been putting it off. BUT the New Rew [feels bad for wasting G-ma's money and] has no fears!

Shtrangers and Shrooms

Yesterday, I had a dream about my friend Trent. He's on a mission in CA. Whenever I have a dream about someone (that I am comfortable sharing), I will call that person up and use it as an excuse to talk to them. Welp, if I remember right, he is about due to be home. I used all my courage to get myself over to his parent's house. I pumped myself up and got ready to make a fool of myself. I knock on the door while thinking "That [dog] is not Shasta" and "Who is this guy answering the door?" Sheepishly, I ask if Trent is home. "No, he's out with his brother". HE IS HOME? I couldn't believe it. A sign from heaven that we are meant to be friends. I definitely would have regretted not going over.
The Colors Concert! Last week, I bought Bubba a surprise (another NO REGRETS thing). I texted him and he made me give him a hint. He totally guessed it! I had gotten him a Ghostbusters shirt. He loves it. I was so comfortable around him. It was like nothing had ever happened, when really we hadn't seen in each other in 6 months and the last time we talked in person, it was rough times. It was better that way- at the time. Glad we're good now (the concert was awesome, p.s.)! We sat by each other and were total backup singers "with harmonies THEY didn't even think of!"
After the concert, we went to this waffle place where Bubba shared his Garbage Hash with me- I even ate mushrooms. I know, I'm a new person! No Roo=No Blues.

Licking Specialist
Thursday, September 11, 2008
I have taken this new attitude of NO REGRETS to a new level. Now I am making money as well. Read on...
A few coworkers and I frequently go out to eat. My old supervisor loves to make bets. I jumped right on her $20 offer this time, not even knowing what it would entail. Last time, I passed up making $20 for eating 4 limes (My poor friend who took the cash broke up some kidney stones she didn't know existed, forcing them out..a painful hidden blessing).
"You must LICK the window/front door of the restaurant. I have to be able to see you. You have to lick from the top of your tippy toes to the very bottom where the glass meets the metal on the door." It was a new Thai restaurant in Provo and the window looked clean. What better way to say "Welcome to Provo" than to give them a wet, unique greeting...? You can imagine how AWKWARD it is to lick from the top of something to the bottom. Well, I no longer have to imagine. My coworkers were still in the restaurant and told me of the responses of other customers--"Sick!" "I'm never coming back." and "Did that girl just....ugh." Awesome.
Then we get in the car to head to her bank for my cash. "I'll give you another 50% to do it again at the bank-a BOGO of sorts (buy one get one)." Hmmm, would you do it? She goes inside and we watch as she speaks with other customers and employees of the bank. She comes out and tells me, "They said it is legal and yes, they will be getting this on security tape to rewind and watch later." Ready Go!!
And then I get limped. Game over.

Going Green
Wednesday, September 10, 2008
Today I got a facial. I faced my fears and did it. I was ridiculously surprised how incredible it was! I was comfortable, relaxed...and my zits are gonna disappear (hopefully). I've started using some awesome natural cleansers and stuff.
Then I decided that I have always wanted to help my teeth along the whitening path, so I invested in a little Crest kit from Costco. Might as well clear up my face and teeth.

Today I decided I am going to Australia. I have wanted to go since I was pretty much born. Now, it feels right and I'm going to do it. I emailed the Study Abroad Dept at Utah State to get some questions answered. We'll see!

You Can Steer
Monday, Sept 8, 2008
Today I was feeling a little overwhelmed so I went for a drive. My car took me up Provo Canyon and eventually to my brother's cabin in Sundance. A song by Missy Higgins (Australian artist) came on. I've never felt so much freedom! Click here to listen or read below for the lyrics:
I decided at that point that I can steer. I am the boss of me. From now on, I will live my life with NO REGRETS! When something enters my mind (and is reasonable, wholesome, etc), I will DO IT. I hung out with my brother and his girlfriend the rest of the night and had an awesome time, enjoying my new attitude.

"Feel it falling off like clothing
Taste it rolling on your tongue
See the lights above you glowing
Oh and breathe them deep into your lungs
It was always simple, not hidden hard
You've been pulling on the strings
Playing puppeteer for kings
And you've had enough
But the search ends here
Where the night is totally clear
And your heart is fierce
So now you finally know
That you control where you go
You can steer
So hold this feeling like a newborn
All the freedom surging through your veins
You have opened up a new door
So bring on the wind, fire and rain
It was always simple, not hidden hard
You've been played at a game
Called remembering your name
And you stuffed it up
...And get out of the box
And step into the clear
Cause now you finally know
That you can steer"
Taste it rolling on your tongue
See the lights above you glowing
Oh and breathe them deep into your lungs
It was always simple, not hidden hard
You've been pulling on the strings
Playing puppeteer for kings
And you've had enough
But the search ends here
Where the night is totally clear
And your heart is fierce
So now you finally know
That you control where you go
You can steer
So hold this feeling like a newborn
All the freedom surging through your veins
You have opened up a new door
So bring on the wind, fire and rain
It was always simple, not hidden hard
You've been played at a game
Called remembering your name
And you stuffed it up
...And get out of the box
And step into the clear
Cause now you finally know
That you can steer"
