Cleaning out and reminiscing

Since I will be leaving shortly, I have decided that now would be a good time to get rid of things that I have been holding onto for way too long. Old school papers, drawings, and we even went through our family books.

I love getting rid of things and cleaning out.

I should have gone through my closet because I seriously don't think that I can fit another thing in...but I'm saving that for another rainy day.

My sister came in to piles and piles of papers and things to do and said that I should make a list. I then proceeded to point to the 2nd largest pile (1st largest pile being the trash pile :) ) and say that is my pile of lists. She said, "Oh, nevermind. Don't make another list."

Speaking of going back in time, I called my very dear friend that I met in 1st grade and we have kept in touch ever since. Since I got my mission call and she got married (a while ago) we spent some time catching up.

Just when I thought I wanted to move to the country and be self-sufficient so I didn't have to deal with people, I realized that it really is nice to have good friends. :)

Its Friday!

As I mentioned...its Friday! And its raining but that's ok because I like the rain :)

Also, I have been thinking about this lately....have you ever noticed that every week the conversation is the same? Maybe you wouldn't notice, if you didn't work the same hours every day of the week with the same people and the same customers...but the week goes something like this:

Monday: "Hi, how are you?" "Oh, alright for a Monday I guess. The weekend is just too short!"

Tuesday: "Hi, how are you?" "Good, we are one day closer to Friday" or "Good, at least it isn't Monday."

Wednesday: "Hi, how are you?" "Good, thank goodness we are one day closer to Friday." or "Good, at least we're half way through the week."

Thursday: "Hi, how are you?" "Good, thank goodness its almost Friday!"

Friday: "Hi, how are you?" "I'm so glad that it is Friday!"

(Please note: I help the same customers in 30 second increments for 2 1/2 hours every morning, so I hear this conversation probably 300 times a day - seriously)

Are we really all wishing our lives away? Or at least until "Friday." Are we all unhappy with our weeks that we can't be happy for whatever day it is? Or happy that we are even alive, well, have a car to drive (I work a drive thru), have homes, have families, the list goes on and on.

Now, I am always in for a good break (says the girl that has to force herself not to take a nap every single day) but I hope that I don't become someone that always wishes for Friday.

Anyway, sorry about it being two months since the last post...I could say that it was because we had a Nativity at our church (which took a week to set up), or that I went to Disney World for a week or drove, yes drove, to Utah and spent two weeks there. Or because I was sick...but really I think I was just lazy and overwhelmed with everything I wanted to write.

Please forgive me.
