Day 10: Your Guilty Pleasure/s

My first guilty pleasure is a nice hot bubble bath, one I can just lay there until the water is no longer warm or my skin gets all wrinkly. Another would be sweets. I love sweets. Hot Chocolate, I love a big mug of hot chocolate. Reading, I love to read. I love to read and get lost in other worlds. I think that is it.

Day 9: If You Could Have Any Job In The World, What Would It Be?

I said it in previous blogs my dream job is a Child-Life Specialist hopefully working at Primary Children's Medical Center. I have always wanted a job where I could help others. I really love working with children and want to help children who are going through what I had to go through when I was a child. I feel like I could help them a lot because I know what they are going through firsthand. Other than my mom and dad were their for me every step of the way, the child-life specialists were there as well. My dad was not there as much as my mom because of his fear of needles he couldn't be in a lot of the procedures with me (even though I know he wanted to be), so my mom and the child-life specialists would help me get through the procedures and kept me distracted while the needles were being stuck into me. I don't think there are words big enough to express the gratitude I feel toward my family and the staff at the hospital for getting me through, my mom especially.

Day 8: A Moment You Felt Most Satisfied With Your Life

I have no idea!! Probably when I graduated from SLCC. I felt accomplished, like all of my hard work payed off. If you would ask me when I felt happiest I would say right now. I may not have a job right now but the way the company I was working for was right before I lost my job I was way stressed out toward the end of my career there. I constantly felt like crying and stressed out. I loved what I did, taking care of people, elderly people but the politics of the job and unhappiness I was feeling toward the end, way outweighed the benefits. I am happy right now. Working my way through school toward my dream job. I am coming out of my shell more and more. I feel really happy right now. Hopefully I will find a job that I can be happy at again.

Day 7: Your Favorite Childhood Toys

One of my favorite toys from childhood was Barbies. I loved playing with my barbies with my friends. Another favorite toy would be my bitty baby. When I got it it was a lot of money and was only available from a catalog. I saved up my money and raised money to pay for half of it and my parents paid for the other half for my birthday the year I got it. I wanted all of the American Girls and their accessories from the catalog I would get with them in it. Never could afford them though. Now you can buy then at Target and other local stores. I also had this dinosaur that was purple and green that was the size of a small dog that I used to tie a shoelace around its neck and pretend to take it for a walk. I loved to color as well. Loved coloring books and fuzzy posters. I also loved puzzles. One year for Christmas my brother and I got puzzles and ended up with two of the same puzzle. He got two of the same Batman puzzles and I got two of the same kitten puzzle. We used to take them and have races with them to see who could put them together the fastest. I still love to do puzzles. I also loved to play board games. I still love to play board games.

Day 6: Your Zodiac Sign and if you think it fits your personality

Libra! About Your Sign...

Libra is the only inanimate sign of the zodiac, all the others representing either humans or animals. Many modern astrologers regard it as the most desirable of zodiacal types because it represents the zenith of the year, the high point of the seasons, when the harvest of all the hard work of the spring is reaped. There is a mellowness and sense of relaxation in the air as mankind enjoys the last of the summer sun and the fruits of his toil. Librans too are among the most civilized of the twelve zodiacal characters and are often good looking. They have elegance, charm and good taste, are naturally kind, very gentle, and lovers of beauty, harmony (both in music and social living) and the pleasures that these bring.
They have good critical faculty and are able to stand back and look impartially at matters which call for an impartial judgment to be made on them. But they do not tolerate argument from anyone who challenges their opinions, for once they have reached a conclusion, its truth seems to them self-evident; and among their faults is an impatience of criticism and a greed for approval. But their characters are on the whole balanced, diplomatic and even tempered.
Librans are sensitive to the needs of others and have the gift, sometimes to an almost psychic extent, of understanding the emotional needs of their companions and meeting them with their own innate optimism - they are the kind of people of whom it is said, "They always make you feel better for having been with them." They are very social human beings. They loathe cruelty, viciousness and vulgarity and detest conflict between people, so they do their best to cooperate and compromise with everyone around them, and their ideal for their own circle and for society as a whole is unity.
Their cast of mind is artistic rather than intellectual, though they are usually too moderate and well balanced to be avant garde in any artistic endeavor. They have good perception and observation and their critical ability, with which they are able to view their own efforts as well as those of others, gives their work integrity.
In their personal relationships they show understanding of the other person's point of view, trying to resolve any differences by compromise, and are often willing to allow claims against themselves to be settled to their own disadvantage rather than spoil a relationship. They like the opposite sex to the extent of promiscuity sometimes, and may indulge in romanticism bordering on sentimentality. 




Their marriages, however, stand a good chance of success because they are frequently the union of "true minds". The Libran's continuing kindness toward his or her partner mollifies any hurt the latter may feel if the two have had a tiff. Nor can the Libran's spouse often complain that he or she is not understood, for the Libran is usually the most empathetic of all the zodiacal types and the most ready to tolerate the beloved's failings.
The negative Libran character may show frivolity, flirtatiousness and shallowness. It can be changeable and indecisive, impatient of routine, colorlessly conventional and timid, easygoing to the point of inertia, seldom angry when circumstances demand a show of annoyance at least; and yet Librans can shock everyone around them with sudden storms of rage. Their love of pleasure may lead them into extravagance; Libran men can degenerate into reckless gamblers, and Libran women extravagant, jealous and careless about money sometimes squander their wealth and talents in their overenthusiasm for causes which they espouse. Both sexes can become great gossipers. A characteristic of the type is an insatiable curiosity that tempts them to enquire into every social scandal in their circle.
In their work the description "lazy Libra" which is sometimes given is actually more alliterative than true. Librans can be surprisingly energetic, though it is true that they dislike coarse, dirty work. Although some are modestly content, others are extremely ambitious. With their dislike of extremes they make good diplomats but perhaps poor party politicians, for they are moderate in their opinions and able to see other points of view. They can succeed as administrators, lawyers (they have a strong sense of justice, which cynics might say could handicap them in a legal career), antique dealers, civil servants and bankers, for they are trustworthy in handling other people's money. Some Librans are gifted in fashion designing or in devising new cosmetics; others may find success as artists, composers, critics, writers, interior decorators, welfare workers or valuers, and they have an ability in the management of all sorts of public entertainment. Some work philanthropically for humanity with great self-disciple and significant results. Libran financiers sometimes make good speculators, for they have the optimism and ability to recover from financial crashes.
Possible Health Concerns...
Libra governs the lumbar region, lower back and kidneys. Its subjects must beware of weaknesses in the back, and lumbago, and they are susceptible to troubles in the kidneys and bladder, especially gravel and stone. They need to avoid overindulgence in food and especially drink, for the latter can particularly harm the kidneys.


I think this pretty much describes me.

Day 5: Your Favorite Comfort Food and Why

I almost totally forgot to do this. That is why it's late. My favorite comfort food would probably be homemade stew. It makes you feel nice and warm from the inside out and I always remember having it on cold winter days. Other favorite comfort food is homemade chili, ham and beans, chicken noodle soup (made with made from scratch noodles) with mash potatoes (homemade not instant). Chicken, dumplings and mash potatoes is also a favorite. All of these foods are made from scratch, homemade. The reason I feel like they are comfort foods is because they remind me of my mom and grandma because they are the two people who make them. I love homemade, made from scratch food. I think mostly because they warm you up from the inside out and they remind you of home.

Day 4: Your Views on Religion

When I was growing up I lived in a very Mormon neighborhood like my sister said. And just like my sister I went to a big young women's and young men's activity where you are in a plane crash. And like my sister said in her blog the Mormon Church believes in three levels of heaven and the outer darkness (essentially hell). I went this activity at a friend's ward and not the ward I belonged to. Unlike my sister we went to all three levels of heaven and the outer darkness as a group except I was told I would be going to the outer darkness because I did not pay tithing. I remember my dad coming to pick me up that night and getting into the car and I just started balling because I thought I was going to hell. I remember my dad telling me that after everything I have been through in my life God would not send me to hell because I did not pay tithing. This experience and a few others turn me away from the Mormon Church. I do not believe in any one religion and do not judge others for their beliefs in any one religion and hope that they would give me the same consideration. I believe in God. I do not believe that there is any one true religion. And I believe God does not judge you based on your religious beliefs. I believe He judges us based on our choices. I do not push my religious beliefs on anyone and do not want their beliefs pushed on me. I hope that I didn't hurt anyone's feelings by stating what I believe in but this is the truth of my beliefs.

Day 3: Your to 5 pet peeves

The first would have to be spitting and spitting gum out on the sidewalk. I think it is disgusting. I don't want to walk in your spit or gum so please spit in your sink at home and spit your gum out in the trash can.
The second is the same as my moms, people not returning their carts to either the store or the cart corral. It is only a few feet people it won't hurt you to walk those few feet to put it away and guess what you can get some exercise in doing so.
The third is people not being courteous. If someone opens or holds open the door for you say thank you. If someone lets you into traffic, simple wave of your hand to say thank you would be nice. Let someone into to traffic once in a while just to be nice. I could go on and on with this but won't.
The fourth is people who say rude things about people who are performing. I want to see if they can do that and if they are better then they can make critical remarks about the person performing. I can understand booing at sporting events but to say that person is terrible when they really aren't gets, on my nerves.
The fifth is hypocrites. I don't like people complaining about someone doing something and then they turn around and do they same thing and think it's alright for them to do it but it is not alright for someone else to do that same thing.
Anyway those are my top 5 pet peeves.

Day 2: Where you'd like to be in 10 years

First I would love to be in my dream job which is a child-life specialist. I would like to be working at Primary Children's Medical Center but would settle for any children's hospital. I would like to still be volunteering at Make-A-Wish Foundation of Utah as a wish granter, right now I am a wish magician. I would like to be married to a great guy and have at least one child of my own. I would like to own my own house, at least a four bedroom with a large kitchen, 2 and 1/2 baths, a huge walk-in closet in my bedroom, a yard for my kid/s to play in, a couple of dogs and a cat or two. That's where I would like to be in 10 years.

Day 1: Your current relationship

This one I am suppose to discuss my current relationship or since I am single discuss being single. I am currently single but am looking for my frog prince. There are advantages to being single. For one I am currently trying to finish my schooling at the end of which I have to do an internship which I may have to go out of state for. I do wish I was in a current relationship but I know I will find the right person when the time is right. I do feel a little lonely sometimes when I see my friends and family with their spouses and family they are building but I am happy for them for finding that special person to spend their life with. I know the person who is right for me is out there somewhere and we will find each other when the time is right but until then I am happy being me and doing what I am to better myself and hopefully in the end have the career I am dreaming of. I am happy where I am right now in life. I love life and love the people that are in my life.
