Creepy Crawlers!

So, I need to upload a pic I took of this nasty bug that I caught in my bedroom. I think it is some kind of centipede. But it is seriouly weird looking. I showed my sister one I had caught and she freaked about it. She thinks it might be a mutated version of one.

I'm so tired of having to deal with these huge bugs and spiders in my living space! It creeps me out! Seriously, I get rid of at least 2-3 spiders a day in my room! Come on! Leave me in peace!

Getting ready to move, again.

Whew! It's been a long day. Actually it feels like Monday and Tuesday kinda blurred together. I got both a new futon bed and an arm chair on Monday. Paying a mere $50 total for both. Then today I found a fabulous computer desk and chair at IKEA, $57 for them. Not too shabby eh?

Saturday I spent most of the day cleaning my future room at my sister's home. Since then Her husband has actually repaired most of the room. He's just going to paint and then we'll be ready for me to move stuff in. I still haven't talked to Grandma about it. I really don't want to either. I just don't want her to blow up at me or anything. *sigh*

Today was my Lia Sophia jewelry party, only one person came. :( (Well beside myself, my grandma, and my two sisters.) I'm just glad it's over with. I spent $115 on stuff. Not too bad really. Considering that it was buy one get the next two half off! I was actually only short $69 of getting free jewelry. Maybe I can talk my mom into buing some? It would be nce to get $50 free jewelry. I'd like to buy some christmas gifts with it.

Decisions

Grandma's been gone for a week now! It's so nice to have peace and quiet! I've actually done more yard word while she has been gone than I ever did while she was here. There is just something nice about being able to do something if you want to and not have someone tell you that you have to do it. I like gardening and helping things grow, but I like to do it at my own pace. I hated having her tell me that I was going to do something. (I guess it brought out a rebellious nature in me.)
Sadly she'll be back on Sunday. . . *NO!!!!!!*
I'm thinking about moving in with my sister Heidi. I'll admit that it isn't the most ideal place to live, but at least I'll be able to help out a little bit there. Especially where she is going to have her baby within a month's time. She'll need an extra hand.
I've been reading a lot lately. Currently I'm reading a book called Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson. My friend Emily got me reading his books, and they're kind of addicting. :D
Tomorrow is my only real day off. (I have Sundays and Tuesdays off, so i can't really do too much on Sundays.) I feel like there is so much that I need to get done, I'm a little stressed about it. I'm going to watch my neices and nephew in Herriman for a few hrs, then I get to come back and pick up apples in the back yard so i can mow the lawn. I'd also really like to go see The Engagement tomorrow. We'll see how much i get done!
I'm really looking forward to this Saturday. I'm taking the day off (I'm using a floating holiday and still getiing paid, even though I won't have to work!) I get to go to Provo with Emily and her Family for our monthly FHE. It's going to be great.
This last Sunday was a bit chaotic. I drove to Brigham on Saturday night after work, spent the night, then went up to Logan to sing with Emily Job in her ward (learing the arrangement that day.) I then turned around, packed all my stuff into my car in Brigham City, and headed back to Salt Lake. It was way to much driving on 5 hrs of sleep. So I skipped the first two hrs of my church down in SLC and took a nap, barely making it in time to lead the music in sacrament meeting. *whew*
But I made it up to myself. Nicole and I had a yummy steak dinner afterward. Mmmmm. It was good to just hang out and talk a bit.
Well, I'm going to go read then go to bed so I can start my hectic Tuesday! Ciao!

Glasses

So as if the title weren't a big enough tip, I got glasses. Yup, my first pair. They're actually kinda cute too.
I first noticed my eye sight was a little off a few years ago in college. (before I went on a mission.) I noticed that i'd look down to write notes and then when I'd glance back at the board to confirm what i'd written, everything would be fuzzy. Well, it's been a few years and nothing has improved. Now, when I lead the music in sacrament meeting, I can't look down at the music without having the entire congregation becoming blurred. (which I guess would be a good thing if I was afraid to be in front of everyone.
So I decided to go visit an optometrist and find out what in the world was going on with my eyes. Actually, I don't have too much wrong. According to him, "Your left eye is a perfectly healthy eye, and the right one is just not perfect enough to start bugging you." That's good I guess. So my glasses actually only have one lense with a perscription. the other is just a piece of glass.
It will take me some time to get used to them. Truthfully the doctor said I don't have to wear them all the time, but recommended them for night driving. And I've found they are nice to have at movies too. The movie isn't blurry anymore!

(I think that my life is fairly boring if my exciting news for the week is getting glasses. *sigh* oh well!)
