Ukulele Sunday

I was doing pretty good there with my consistency in blogging, but as usual I have slacked.  It's been a pretty good week and I only have 2 weeks left at Trident Manufacturing.  Then I get to return to Bountiful City to play in the flower beds all summer.  There's less than 2 months until the U2 concert and I am giddy.  Even more so since I found out that The Fray is opening for them!  Today's been a pretty good day.  Mostly just played on the uke and tried to teach myself some new stuff.  Someday I'll actually post of video of me playing, possibly singing too.  For now, all you get is a picture.

Yep, the hair is still short.  Everyone seems to like it though.  Let me know what you think of the stripes with stripes I have going on.  I'm not usually up on the latest fashions, but I tried something different for once.  Anyway, this is a very random post, but life's good.  

All things Irish

Today in honor of St. Patrick's day, I dedicate this post to my 4 favorite Irish things.  I listened to them during my 10-hour workday.  All 10 hours.  It was fantastic. 

Oh, and by the way I have tickets to their concert for May 24 in Salt Lake City.  Yes, I've had them since last summer and I can hardly wait.  68 more days and counting!  I have 2 tickets and no idea who I'm bringing with me yet.  It has to be someone who would appreciate the amazingness of U2 and would partake in this date-like evening.  Let me know if you find anyone . . .

Blogging vs. Facebook

Lately it seems as though I'd rather spend more time writing on my blog instead of useless time on Facebook.  Gasp.  Maybe there's just more on my mind than a "status update" or "stalking people".  Whatever the reason, I at least have somewhat of a journal preserved online for myself and posterity because let's face it, I am a horrible journal writer.  My last entry was in September 2009 . . . yeah.  Anyway, in other good news, I only had to blow my nose once today.  That in itself would not normally seem significant, but I've had an eternal sinus infection.  Okay, maybe not eternal, but I've been blowing my nose for almost 2 months now.  I realize that this is slightly disgusting to be sharing online, but whatever.  I'm happy that it's almost over!  My best friend through all of this: Puffs plus with Vicks tissues.

A trim and some snowboarding

So I have been toying with the idea of either cutting my hair or coloring it.  Obviously the first of those won.  From the words of Gilmore Girls, "To the braille institute it's just a trim."

Luckily my hair grows pretty fast.  It'll be nice for working outside this summer.  Yes, I'm going back to Bountiful City again.  Again.  You can probably tell from my picture that I have some weird tan lines going on.  I went snowboarding up to Brighton yesterday by myself.  It was pretty fun and decided to balance out the cost of a day pass by staying there for 6.5 hours.  I'm definitely feeling it today, but it was a beautiful day on the slopes.  I even made a friend too.  Best day ever.

Obviously before the bulk of the burning occured

A couple of gems

Isn't spring supposed to start next week?  This is what I woke up to this morning.  Mind you I had to drive to work almost 20 miles.  Oh, and for those of you who were wanting to see a picture of the car I bought last summer, there it is.  Kind of hard to see with the snow.  I'll get a better one later.

Oh, and another picture.  My dog Jack.  I don't know what happened with this photo, but I can't help but smile and laugh at my poor, sad dog.

Snowboarding . . . finally

I finally was able to go snowboarding for the first time this season.  I took my 13-year-old sister and taught her how to board.  She's in a bit of pain today.  As for me, I may have gotten sunburnt.  You can be the judge of that.

That's a pretty good face.  I could post a better face, one of someone who finally has some answers of what to do in life.  Yep, that's right.  I got one of the answers I've been waiting for through an email of one of my friends from Hawaii.  It took 4 months of uncertainty and there are still a lot of unanswered questions, but this I know for sure.  I'm going up to Utah State this fall either to pursue a second bachelor's degree or prerequisites for a variety of other options.  I'll worry about that later though.  Thought you'd all enjoy the update on my confusing life.  I may cut my hair this week (above my shoulders; see facebook for pictures of me a couple of years ago).  Feel free to weigh in with your opinions.
