Urban Poly Princess

I decided to commit my goals to writing so I can check myself again with April conference to C my progress.

I want to improve my physical, spiritual and financial fitness.

Physical fitness-eat better each day but whatever I want once a week, cardio 6x a week, weights 3x

Spiritual-temple each week-make a priority!!! read scriptures and allow for enough pondering time NOT rushing!!!

Financially-grow savings again!!! accordian buget file

I'll self-check here once a month and have a detailed discussion with myself at the end of 6 months!!!

Last night I went to C my friend's band play at a Frat party. I was a little leery Bcause I have an image in my head of what frat parties R but this was nothing like that. Usually I'm in SLC on the weekend but this was a Logan weekend and I HAD to force myself to do something, ANYTHING!!!-My one and ONLY Logan friend wasn't feeling well or MAYBE she just didn't want to go to a Frat party NOT SURE yet about that.
Sooo I call my other friend-friend #2's brother to C if he's going to this thing and if I can go with him to this thing and I find out HE'S PART OF THE BAND!!! So Yes I go there by myself and I get there half an hour late but surprise, surprise I beat the band. I looked around the lobby and see stacks of the Ensign-a good sign since the party-atmosphere isn't my scene. Friend #3 is there a couple minutes after me so I'm feeling better.
Wow just wow!!! My college experience was VERY different. MayB I just hung with a different crowd because while I was happy people were NOT wild they were laid-back almost to the point of Bing asleep.
The band did great-I liked their original songs best because they were R & B which I will always love even if now I'm in a rock phase.
I remember my first party at the Y-I thought it would B lots of strong LDS boys. Boy was I wrong!-not only were several people drinking, I'm pretty sure the bedrooms were Being used for all types of immorality although since I never went there myself I can't say that definitively but I'm not stupid.
The difference??? Good music blaring-that's hip hop/rap then! AND EVERYONE dressed to impress. Last night I kept wondering if these people owned mirrors. Lots of mingling-not there!!!, lots of guys trying to run their game-uh again if it was there it must have been VERY understated. I give the one guy who did actually try to start a conversation with me credit-he came and talked to me when the band was on asking me if they were my friends. And they R by default-I was excited when the first one moved here Bcause I thought FINALLY-I'll have more than just one. BUT he blew me off which ticked me off bigtime and then the second one did the same thing when he got here and I tried to think yeah o.k. so I'm waaay older than them and hanging out with me is probably the LAST thing they want to do BUT I don't have the energy or time to get to know anyone else and they R good people so I'm going to keep trying BUT I was surprised last night that I'm still miffed. Sooo small doses right now.
New experiences R always good. I'm sure there R other crowds at USU that I wouldn't like now anyway.

When I finish work 2nite I'll B done for the weekend.Other than a meeting at the Herald Journal 2morrow at 1:30 pm I'm almost free!!! Life is great. I have so many blessings. I think it needs to be a temple night 2nite.

The tabernacle is very beautiful. I woke up at 3am this morning with my TV on and my contacts in. I took them off then tried to fall asleep but it wouldn't work. FINALLY I slept but it must have been right through the alarm Bcause when I woke up it was 9:25 and I knew Tiffany would B here to pick me up in about 10 minutes. Brushed my teeth, washed my face, threw on a dress, my sandals, put my hair up and slathered on sunscreen/moisturizer as my doorbell rang. I threw shades on and went to conference with NO makeup. Scary but since no one really knows me here I played it off.
What really stood out to me today was not really the messages shared but how the mission president and his wife's talks were in such sharp contrast to everyone else. It had nothing to do with their messages but EVERYTHING with their spirits. They radiated the light of the gospel. When they spoke their presence shone with power and authority. I don't know why I didn't feel that from anyone else but I do know I want that.
I bought a paper because I wanted to see my first story printed in the Herald Journal. They redid my lead and it was actually a lot better.
I'd like to write a lot more stories. Actually I'd like to do an editorial on the libraries in Cache Valley. I'd also like to review restaurants, beauty treatments, stores, things unique to Cache Valley.
