Blessings in Disguise--Three Day Weekend Edition

The plan was nearly perfect. I was going to leave late Friday night for the three-day weekend in Utah with the Morgans. While I was there, I was going to visit with long-lost friends Lisa and Virginia. Thursday night I call my ride to confirm when we were leaving and learned that I didn't have a ride anymore. For some reason she thought I wasn't coming and had filled up her car without me. I had made obligations that kept me in Rexburg until 6pm, and no one else was leaving that late. I would have to stay in town for the weekend. I was crushed.

I did what I always do when crisis strikes--called my mom. I wished I had a car of my own so that things like this wouldn't happen. I hate depending on other people to get places. But here's the rub--I'm terrible with money and broke to boot. "I'll save up for a car this summer!" I said. "I'll be so much better with my money!" "Good luck with that," said Mom. But that didn't get me to the Morgans this weekend.

But it wasn't so terrible. I got to sleep in, go shopping (probably a bad idea for the day after my aforementioned resolution), and relax on Saturday. Sunday I got a new calling (Relief Society Meeting Coordinator) and went to the Family History class.
Today I cleaned, did laundry, got tomorrow's homework done, and ran a mile. As I type this I'm avoiding doing my science homework that's due on Wednesday. (I cannot make these numbers work!) I'm ahead of schedule with my homework! When has that ever happened? I also cancelled my beloved subscriptions to Birchbox, Spotify, and Ancestry so that I can stop being poor and maybe someday have something to drive.

(This is my "my roommate just got off a 12-hour shift and I'm trying to get stuff done without waking her up" look. Impressive, right?)

There will be other weekends this semester. It's been too long since I've been to visit the Morgans and I miss them terribly. But in the end, I'm kind of glad that I had this one to be stuck in Idaho and put my life back together a little bit. 

Weekend Update Thursday

This weekend my mom and I attended BYU Women's Conference. It was a blast. I fell in love with the BYU campus and could definitely see myself going to law school there. (Plus it's cheaper than in-state tuition at UCLA.)

 And they make THESE.

 Photo fail at the Marriot Center before the concert. I may or may not have shouted "I'll marry you!" to Vocal Point about an hour after this was taken. 

I met up with my good friend Lisa at The Cocoa Bean in Provo.

I hurt.

But that's my own fault for being so out of shape and suddenly letting Jillian Michaels kick my but with the 30 Day Shred. Today is Day 3.

I miss my best friend.

And the best roommates ever.

 I got a job this week! 

Well, I technically got my old job back. I started again at Baskin-Robbins last night and it was a blast. I'm grateful to get an income at a place I already know my way around.

And here's Minnie, just for the heck of it.

Okay, I miss her, too. And I miss not being allergic to cats.
