I tried to retrieve my voicemail but it said I didn't have enough money on it!!! NOOO!!! I paid my phone bill 6 days ago!!! So I went online and it said I owed NOTHING. I wanted to scream at someone but I'd need another phone to do that. Online it said I had a new restart date of TODAY. WHY???!!! I decided to power off because sometimes that'll work AND it DID.

Financially-this phone is better than Verizon BUT the service SUCKS!!!

I did some homework yesterday, laundry, general cleaning AND I FOUND MY CAMERA!!! Now I don't have to buy another one!!!

My mother left a loooong message on my phone about NOOOT going anywhere. The weather reports she's watching are making her trip. I did go to the store last night for necessities like milk, bread and eggs BUUUT there's nothing else I need. Actually I'd like to buy some skinless, boneless chicken thighs but I don't need to buy them this weekend. I used the last of my ground beef yesterday but I still have shrimp, spam and tuna if I get desperate.

I love that I live about 3-4 blocks from where I work, 1 block from church and I'm very close to Walmart and Macey's.

I'm going to try not to leave my apartment. I am finishing my lit review right now. I also need to interview 5 people. I actually need some fruit-apples and grapes. I haaate leaving the house when the weather is like this. I want chicken from Sam's Club but fruit from somewhere else. ORRR maybe I'll see how creative I can get with what I have and not leave ANYWHERE. If I don't eat some fruit however I'm not going to feel very good. I wonder if my homemade strawberry freezer jam counts. I'll probably get sick BUT I don't want to go anywhere else except church on Sunday. I think I will try eating from what I have in the house.

I do have about 3 liters of Diet Dr. Pepper but I've been drinking this cranberry apple juice from the dollar store that I like better AND I don't feel bloated when I drink it. I fried ground beef yesterday and I thought I was seasoning with cumin until I realized it was cinnamon. I already had onions in there. I just mixed some brown sugar and garlic in there and it is alright. I had pancakes and that strange mixture for breakfast then I ate it with mayo and french bread later. It was alright. I'd like to try it with beef NOT ground beef. I think it would be good on a roast. I need to buy nutmeg and more cumin. I can't find my cumin. I'll probably find it after I buy more.

I listened to Elder Cook's talk Can Ye feel so now before my scripture reading. I read Alma 36 twice. Sometimes especially when I read in the Book of Mormon I've read a passage so many times that I don't really think about what each verse is saying. Even when I read it the second time it is still very familiar as is the story. I don't know how to make certain things fresh anymore.

Elder Cook's talk was familiar too but he talked a lot about sexual immorality. What hit me is how grateful I am for how my culture has helped me keep that. Even the Poly boys who didn't keep those standards would NEVER attempt anything with me because they knew better. Poly players also always wanted a good girl in the end EVEN after they played around with the world. I've had friends end up with these men. Why would I want someone who didn't keep himself morally clean when I've done that?

I want someone who CHOOSES that, not someone who just hasn't had the opportunity.
