Urban Poly Princess

I have a lot of teal clothes too. I could do major overkill by wearing teal all over the place right now. Today I need to email my attorney my pay stubs from December to now ALSO my state taxes. I'm going to have to go to work to get the pay stubs.

This morning I was thinking I'm being unrealistic about money. George raised 9 children in very nice homes when he was making just over 100,000 a year. These were nice neighborhoods in Provo and Texas however BUUUT it still applies.

I think the most a library director will ever make is closer to 150,000. Of course the director at the Law library at the University of Utah pulls in over 250,000. Managers in Salt Lake County start making over 65,000 but after several years are closer to 80,000. Senior librarians who have worked for the county start making that type of money too with some Senior librarians making more than their managers. I'd be fine doing that AND doing real estate on the side. Not just to make money but ideally I want to own several income-producing properties in and around Salt Lake City. I'd like to hire managers for each who can maintain them and Just collect money each month with minimum effort expended.

This would allow me to just be a librarian part-time. I could still have benefits AND spend time with my children. I am grateful my mother stayed home with me. It is what prophets have counseled and I have to attribute it to many things I enjoy. I've never had a self-esteem issue. Actually it's too healthy. I've always known the truthfulness of the gospel. I haven't had to search for that ever. All mothers and families who stayed home with their children probably didn't experience this although I remember my dad would want my mother to work and she'd quote President Kimball to him all the time. Later it became president Benson but he gave up by then. My brother has never wanted his wife to work ever. She teaches Zumba because she loves it but probably contributes little if anything to the family household.

I don't want to spend my time hanging out with other women even if they are spiritually strong women. Any free time I have is going to be spent developing myself professionally, spiritually or in situations where I can meet men who I could possibly want to date and get to know better. I need to be careful about wasting time with men who are physically attractive to me and nothing else. I haven't done that lately but just thinking about what I did when I first moved here makes me wonder why I was so stupid. I thought I could just spend time with someone WITHOUT developing feelings for them. When you spend time with someone you get to know and understand why they have made certain stupid choices. Once you empathize and care about them you can easily want to be part of their life when if you didn't know them you wouldn't want anything to do with them.

It is why I don't want to go to conference alone with Andrew. He's not attractive up close although he looked good enough for me to go out of my way to meet him. I did the same thing with Rich. I would not have done that with my friend. He is the best-looking but I never would've found that out if I hadn't caught him checking me out in the first place. I wasn't certain of that until he followed me out to the parking lot one day. That's when I determined I was going to see what he looked like up close. I remember his ugly maroon puffy jacket and a black backpack. I am sooo glad he lost both although he still wore a tie occasionally I wish I could've incinerated with a glance. He had pretty ties too so I still don't know what his attachment to that ugly striped monstrosity ever was. It wasn't just striped either. That would've been fine. It had this ugly grey/yellow pattern on it. It just needs to die.

I don't know why that is so important to me. I wasn't raised in super nicely decorated homes. Now I redecorate and redress rooms in my head all the time. I included that fact in my I'm a Mormon profile. I was trying to think of quirky things to include. I put that I was English, Irish, Tongan, Hawaiian and Chinese raised in Hawaii, Utah and Tonga. Unique enough? I hope so!

Someone at FHE asked what my racial background was. I told them. Earlier we were discussing physical discipline and I shared how my uncle who was a stake president, bishop and mission president in the past but he always hit his children. That is Sosaia's dad. Stacey asked if it was a cultural thing and I told her it was. My favorite Jen asked when I shared my racial background if I was Buddhist. NOOO, I told her I was LDS, then she said oh but you were talking about culture earlier. Tongan is ALSO a culture AND a race.

I also included my testimony. They edit it. One of the sentences they NEED to edit is a sentence fragment and annoys me whenever I read it. I wrote that I read daily from the Book of Mormon. I also put that I read a talk from the latest conference daily. They left the daily out so it just states I read a talk from the latest conference. Left alone it isn't enough. I read a few other profiles and whoever edits those needs to let other people edit it too.
