So what am I gonna use this blog for you ask? Well, let me tell you. I am going to record all...OK not all...but many of my random thoughts. And you know me. I'm very random. Oh and I've been pretty bad at journal writing lately so the thought is if I blog enough I can count it as journal writing. Plus, my posterity will probably enjoy reading my blog someday much more than my journal considering I never write anything too terribly personal or exciting in my journal for fear that someone will read it. (Probably the result of being the oldest of soon to be eight children.) Now don't you think that I'm gonna write anything super personal here either considering blogs are easily accessible to the entire world. :)
Funny story. I was about to start this paragraph with the word "so" but I refrained for fear of repetition. But it proves that my title describes me and many of my blog posts extremely well.
So (you see, I didn't start the previous paragraph with "so" so it is now OK for me to start this paragraph with "so") I will tell you about my day. It was a very good day in fact. Tangent: Do you notice the use of separate paragraphs? This is a first...kinda...I never like to use paragraphs. End of tangent.
So here is why my day was pretty great:
1. Today's football game was at noon, which is good because I don't have to get work covered to go to the game, but bad because that means I actually have to wake up and get ready before then. However, some sponsor of BYU football decided to give out free stuff to everyone. Not just a measly little BYU flag, but a BYU t-shirt, beanie, sticker, and draw-string backpack. Unfortunately I was a little late. Let's make something clear. I HATE BEING LATE. That does not mean I am never late to anywhere. In fact, I am almost always late. But I still hate it. Do you know what I hate more than being late though? Being late to football games and all other sporting events. So luckily there was lots of free stuff to help my mood. Explanation for me being late: I decided to get ready very slowly plus I had to gather everything I needed for work and my concert since I wasn't going to be home before work or my concert. Shout out to Emily Iroz for saving free stuff for me. :)
2. The second reason my day was great was that BYU beat UNLV. The score was 55-7. Yes. We basically killed them. We should've shut them out but we let them score right at the end. Lame. So most seasons this score would not be very surprising. But ummm...BYU football is not quite up to par this season. When you are worried about winning a UNLV game, you know something is majorly wrong. But don't worry. We won. By a lot. And even Jake Heaps looked good. :)
3. So guess who sat two rows behind us at the football game? No, not Obama as Fredrik guessed. It was the entire basketball team. Yes. The entire basketball team. Jimmer Fredette included. I LOVE BYU basketball. And since football has not been all that good this year, I have been looking forward to basketball season even more than usual. And Jimmer Fredette is SO good. SO GOOD. So, they sat there for probably about a quarter of the game. The only reason they were all there was because they all went on the field (our seats are one row away from the field...yes...I love our seats) during half time to promote their home opener (which is on Friday by the way...come.) Anyway, my cousins took a picture with Jimmer. I was thinking about doing the same but didn't. Why? 1. Because I'm a wimp. 2. They left before I could get up enough courage. 3. They're really only college athletes. I mean I go to school with these kids for crying out loud. They've been in my classes before. No need to treat them like celebrities. Best part...Jimmer high fived me. Never washing my hand. Hahahaha...just kidding. :)
4. I only had to work two hours today because Katy took half my shift since I had to go to my concert. Katy is the best and I am sad I don't work with her normally. One-hour shifts are the best. Two-hour shifts are doable because after an hour, you have less than an hour left. Three-hour shifts are not too bad. Four-hour shifts are not as fun...getting a little long. Five hour shifts are unbearable unless you can split up between BP and working up front.
5. I found this flyer behind the desk advertising a one-day sale at the bookstore. And they were advertising a HP printer/scanner/copier for $20. Twenty dollars. It was normally $80. What a deal! So I was not in dire need of a printer, but how can you pass one up if it's only $20. The only downer was I had to carry the printer around all night.
6. My concert was great! I love Women's Chorus. Which is surprising because women's choirs are my least favorite. But BYU makes everything better. :) But I will admit, sometimes I completely zone out during songs in my concert. For example, I was thinking about my printer and how my life would be different now that I had one during one of the most intense songs on the concert. And Men's Chorus was great too!
7. I had this music test due at midnight that I hadn't really studied for. Luckily it was only for my music class meaning it wasn't going to be too incredibly difficult. So, I just realized this post is getting long and boring and that if I keep writing such long posts, absolutely no one will ever read my blog again so I'm going to get to the point. Anyway, I ended up submitting my online, closed-book test (only at BYU) at 11:59:57. Perfection. :)
Alright. That's it. If you haven't noticed my life is not terribly exciting, but I find it entertaining. And I like to give lots and lots of background information which leads to a sub-par climax or no climax at all. Buenas noches. :)

I am so very very excited that you finally have a blog!!! You make me laugh... and I'm surprised you didn't talk about the creep picture I took with you and Jimmer.
