The Neti Pot

I used a Neti Pot for the first time tonight. When I was on vacay, my sister was using her Neti Pot one morning and it totally grossed me out. Something about cleaning boogers out of your nose with liquid makes me gag a little bit. My Mom and I were talking about how we are getting a little sick. She said that she used the Neti Pot earlier today and I decided that I wanted to try it. I was a little nervous. I'm not a big fan of having liquids in my nose...it usually hurts. I don't know if I did it exactly right because it was just a little stream that came out the other side and when I saw my sister do it, the stream seemed a lot bigger. But even if I did it wrong I could breathe pretty well after I finished using it and it didn't even hurt! SUCCESS! I'm not sure it I'm converted to the Neti Pot just yet. I'll give it a few more tries.

I need some emotional support!!

I just received my new Kindle Touch...yes..I betrayed my Nook Simple Touch Reader. It wasn't a hard decision. As soon as I found out about it the Kindle Touch (okay..maybe like a week or two later), I ordered it. It is awesome! Right now I need some emotional support. Why? Because I am going through a inner conflict as to whether or not I should take off the plastic covering. I don't know what it is about electronics but I like to keep the plastic covering on as long as possible. I think my phone had part of the covering on for almost a month. The plastic on the screen of my Ipod was taken off about 2 weeks after I got it only because I was getting a more high tech cover put on (now it is almost indestructible..WOOT).  Now I am left alone with my Kindle and the plastic cover is staring me down, tempting me, trying to use its mind tricks to get me to pull it off. What to do? What to do?  Keep it on? Pull it off? Keep it on? Pull it off? I can't make this decision by myself!! I need something to help me decide like a flower, or a quarter, or maybe if the stars could align and the Fates could tell me what I should do. Hmmm...well, the only flower I have is attached to a pen so those petals won't come off easily, I spent all my quarters buying the Kindle,  I don't have a telescope to see when stars align, and I don't know when the Fates will be around to tell me. I guess I'll just have to succumb..........It is coming off...............halfway there.......there is no turning back now....(my heart actually sped up a little bit. That is a little ridiculous)......a little bit left......and it is off and in the trash. Wow...that was tough. Now I feel like I can't touch the screen.....great......

New!

I wanted to make a new blog. Here it is. The end.

Everyday I'm shufflin

Finally Peggy and I learned the Party Rock Anthem Dance. Take a looksey:

Just running!

The past couple weekends I have been running quite a bit. First it was the red rock relay. It was awesome. I had a super fun van/team. I ended up running about 15 miles in total. Thanks to Kami for taking the hard part of this race :) I definitely want to do this one again! 

 This past weekend I did the Dirty Dash with my friend Tyler. That was awesome. It is a 6 mile run/walk that is laced with muddy obstacles. Such as a balance beam over a pool of mud, muddy hay bales that you get to climb over, tunnels to crawl through, walls to climb over (or under...under was muddier), a slip 'n' slide, and a giant mud pit at the end! Sadly when I ran it, the photo people were not taking pictures at the obstacles. I was in the mud a lot and was covered with a good 1/4 inch layer at some points but you'll just have to imagine it because there are zero photos of that. But we did get a before and after.  I will be doing it again next year for sure and would love to do it as a team....let me know if you want in :) 

Next adventure...rock climbing! 

I love the Primary!

I seriously love working the Primary. Today we sang the song "We'll bring the world this truth," aka "Army of Helaman." It is incredible how one song can bring back so many memories. It made me want to go back and be a fulltime missionary again! I had a hard time not breaking down and crying. Not for sadness or anything like that.  I can't really explain how it feels or the emotion behind it but I think if you have served a mission you would understand. I loved my mission so much and am so thankful that Heavenly Father sent me to New York.

An Update

So as you all know, I have been terrible at updating my blog. That's probably because all I do it work and can't really think of anything good to blog about. Work has been good...but I don't know how much you want to really hear about how I scanned milk again or how the calls were...especially when people tell you about the parasites they had before they did a parasite cleanse...yeah...I didn't think so either. Mostly I just wanted to share this HILARIOUS video with you. I have just been laughing here at my desk by myself. The people around me probably think I am weird.
