I don't know why I slept so long today. I got up after 10. I didn't really stay up that late. Ever since I added skating to my daily routine I get extremely exhausted at the end of the day. That's fine but the getting up at 10 is NOT. I want to make today my free day since tomorrow is fast Sunday. I wanted to make my chocolate cake mix but I'm out of eggs. I need to hit up a store. I'll get it after skating on the way home. After the temple I'll go skating, come home do Zumba AND bake my cake and some rolls. I also need eggs for the chicken katsu I wanted to make today.

I ate potstickers, broccoli, the last of my raspberries, an orange and I drank the diet Dr. Pepper Jen didn't want the night I went visiting teaching with her. They were doing a fundraiser Thursday night so with $7 I got to skate, a slice of pizza, small drink and I could also either bowl and play laser tag. I gave Jen the pizza and Diet Dr. Pepper. She took the pizza but she only drinks filtered water. Laser tag is fun but NOOO not by myself with a bunch of Jr high school and elementary school kids. I gave it to a little boy on my way out.

Usually skating is 6.25 except for Tuesdays which is 4.25. I can't wait to get my skates next week and decrease what I spend each week at least for now AND have good quality skates fitted by a professional!!! I hope the weather's good enough in May or the middle of April for me to skate outside somewhere and NOT have to pay the Fun Park. I need to stop by work. There's a measuring tape there for me to measure my foot so I can email it to the owner of the Skate Shop Now. I still suck but I'm also excited to continue to improve and I really look forward to when skating is just fun and not the chore it still is now. I know this is my learning curve and eventually it will be the fun it needs to be. I'm going to quit with Jen. I hope she doesn't get too disappointed. I'm going to stop by the library today too and look for something that I can learn the piano with. I'm going to check out the ads on ksl too. If I can discipline myself to learn a little every day with skating I can certainly discipline myself with music and the piano AND singing. I'm going to buy my own keyboard.

The nice thing about this skating thing I decided to do is it has allowed me to see incremental improvement. It hasn't taken a lot of time but the improvement is there. It has made me realize I do have the discipline to develop my own piano and singing ability. I'm not sure with who yet but I think it is to my advantage to take singing lessons. I'm not like David. I looove performing and I want to learn well enough so that I feel comfortable performing at least in church. I think my tone is nice but I'll see. If I had my brother's natural tone that would be amazing. I don't. My mother has an awesome soprano voice. Again, I don't. I want my nice sound system to practice my own karoke that I can play back for myself. I am good at critiquing performances. Even my own. I looove acting too and if I can sing just well enough for some community musical that would be very nice. Community theatre usually requires singing. Unlike television acting there typically aren't the slutty roles my look is typecast for.

My cousin Mana Kinikini was a concert pianist in high school. He used to take lessons here in Logan. His parents bought a home here when he was taking piano. I wish they had hung onto it before I moved here. Apparently there was no one good enough in Salt Lake City for him to take lessons with.

I lived with Mana right after my accident. Rather I lived with his sisters Shannon and Lea in their parents' gorgeous home in Sugarhouse. 2 of Lea's friends also lived with us. Their parents were living in Hawaii. Their dad Dan is my father's cousin. Mayone his wife is from Southern Utah. They were close to my parents at BYU-Hawaii. Mayone told me my mother was known at BYU-Hawaii for wearing heels. Hahaha!!! I was sooo stoked to gather this information!!! My mother ALWAYS joined the rest of my family in her disdain for my love of heels. I just haaate being short. My dad's entire family is short as is my mother's. My dad has 8 brothers and sisters. I am taller than ALL of them EXCEPT for my father who was 5' 10". George is 5' 10" too. His wife is 5' 7" and his oldest daughter is 6' tall. That's good. Maybe she doesn't think so BUT I want my nephews to be tall and if Noe is they have a good chance. His second daughter who turns 18 in December however is pretty short as in as short as my mom. I think my mother's 5' 3". I'm only 5' 4". I always wanted to be 5' 7".

I've always dated men who were 6' 2" and my friend Colton was 6' 3" I REALLY liked that. It however isn't important and that's not what I already know I'm going to end up with. That's alright.
I always wanted someone fine. Pretty??? I like but it is annoying because it attracts superficial people AND I know it's responsible for a lot of the attitude. When people let you get away with being an ass constantly it makes you think it's acceptable or normal when it isn't. I know how to use my looks to my advantage too however. I don't abuse it AND I am ALWAYS careful NOT to make someone think I'm interested unless I am. I'm not in high school anymore. I'm not playing games.

Mosiah 11

I read this twice AND I listened to the audio to identify SOMETHING to resonate with me. This is the only scripture in the entire chapter that does that for me and it's just a little bit:
