The Morning After

I looove the Brigham City temple. I like how peaches were incorporated throughout the interior. Most are subtle like peach blossoms engraved on some of the decorative work but there is even a painting of a woman with a wooden bucket of peaches she is picking? I rode with Ryan, this new girl Amanda and her niece Jana. Ryan parked right where we met outside the chapel. I was sick of just standing there so I finally asked Ryan to open his car so I could sit in the back seat. That seemed to be the impetus everyone needed because they started going to their cars after that. Ryan was talking to Amanda and Jana. Karen was talking to me. I was glad to lose Karen. She's like my friend Elenoa. She always wants to do things with me which is fine BUT HELLO-I'm in a singles ward to meet and hang-out with men NOT women all the time AND they both get like glue.

The Brigham City temple is gorgeous BUT small. South Jordan and Draper are beautiful too. It's nice how each reflect its surroundings. I loved working at the Draper library then doing a session at the Draper temple. Amanda and Jana were very interesting. Jana moved into the ward 3 weeks ago. She's in the North Relief Society but she just figured that out because I've seen her in our Relief Society. Ryan was raised in Brigham City. His old seminary and high school English teacher manned the tour entrance with his wife. He asked Ryan if his still knew his scriptures. I told him he did. Yes indeed!!! Jana is the oldest of 7 kids. She is 23 and plans to attend Brigerland and complete a dental assisting certificate. She found out her brother just received his call to South Africa. He is the first missionary in her family. She was so excited. I was excited for her. She is kind and friendly.

David didn't go last night. It would've been nice to see him. I'm so glad Amanda and Jana were NORMAL. Unfortunately that is a concern in my ward.

Last night I fell asleep with my laptop open on my bed and my contacts. I got up at 2am-took them out and luckily I hadn't thrown my laptop off my bed.

I woke up at 6am but after feeling my feet decided NOT to do my regular Zumba. Instead I just got ready for work and then I went to Walmart and bought some tortilla chips, peach-flavored carbonated water, a couple of cup-o-noodles, some mini triple chocolate cupcakes and cheese dip. I'm wearing my white FLAT canvas-looking shoes that are actually white leather shoes. My eyes need a day without contacts. I need new glasses that are the RIGHT strength. My glasses are too strong and I always end up taking them off because they either give me a headache or I can't see clearly when I read.

I know what I need to do it just would be nice if I didn't have to do anything. I know I'm out of excuses.
I'm going to read my Telesa books this weekend, clean and sharpen my fitness goals. I know I need to and can eat a lot better. I'm NOT sleeping this weekend away!!! I need to get in my Friday temple habit again. I'm going to do that tomorrow.
