I'm not sure if it was catching up on my sleep or whaaat because I woke up after 11 and I didn't really stay up that late. Anyway I didn't do anything but eat and watch Korean drama. I didn't feel like getting ready for Lark's party so I didn't go. Now I'm cleaning and trying to get mentally ready for the temple tomorrow. I'm excited for stake conference tonight. I was annoyed when I heard Sunday would be held in the Spectrum but they announced it would be broadcast at the stake center or our chapel.

I'm going to do some laundry and cleaning. My house is messy. Being gone in Salt Lake and work just resulted in me leaving my dirty clothes wherever I changed. Tuesday is payday AND bills are due. I'd like to get my couch Tuesday BUT if I wait until the first part of December it'll probably be better BUT then I'll need to pay for my real estate test. If it's not one thing it's another. Paying rent on the 20th sucks bigtime because it doesn't really leave me that much just to take care of necessities. I did it this last time but I haaated it!!! Couponing helps a lot.

I need fresh vegetables, fruit and meat but I have spam, canned tuna and chicken I can use now too. I'm certainly not starving. There are always shampoo and conditioner coupon sales but not for anything I like, just grocery or drug store stuff and actually salon products are being sold at grocery stores now but there are never coupons for the stuff I like. I have a bunch of cereal I like plus yogurt and 4 2-liters of Diet Dr. Pepper. I'm trying to lay off the soda which I just haven't touched after I drank 2 bottles. It's just like drinking chemicals. All the candy in my cupboard isn't helping either. I have lots of paper towels, dishwashing liquid and laundry soap. I'm sure I also have enough toothpaste and pads to last me a year.

This is awesome because I haven't been couponing long at all and it already has allowed me to build a small storage of items I use regularly. It has made me a better shopper by far. I don't buy junk from fast food places because the thought that I can just go home and eat something that tastes better and is waaay cheaper is ever-present. Also spending money when I work so hard to save a dollar here and there is not cool. I want to continue to build my stockpile of stuff I use like laundry soap, dishwashing liquid, bathwash, deodorant and food staples like pasta and rice.

Eventually I'd like to buy a freezer and do the freezer meal thing. Having nutritious and tasty meals all the time would be ideal. As I sit here thinking about when to buy my couch I just may get it Tuesday. In January my car registration is due. There will always be something. I'm going to give myself a spending limit of $350 for my couch. Without a couch my living room feels a little useless.

To My Grandchildren - Henry B. Eyring
While serving others, we are most likely to plead for the companionship of the Holy Ghost. Success in the Lord’s service always produces miracles beyond our own powers. 
It is only with the companionship of the Holy Ghost that we can hope to be equally yoked in a marriage free from discord. I have seen how that companionship is crucial for felicity in a marriage. The miracle of becoming one requires the help of heaven, and it takes time. Our goal is to live together forever in the presence of Heavenly Father and our Savior.
They had received the miracle of becoming one. 

I have several friends that are gay AND RMs that are getting pretty vocal on Facebook and are having a tough time right now in Hawaii since it is an issue. These are all people who were raised in the same LDS community in Hawaii with me and have family and friends testifying mostly against same-sex marriage. My classmate is one of them. He is visiting his parents now in Hawaii because his dad is very sick. He posted how his mom wanted him to go with her to Honolulu to hold protest signs. He told her he'd drop her off. My community is divided right now in Hawaii and there are a lot of people hurting. This is such a sensitive issue. I love them but I can't condone their choices although I don't want to hurt them.
