Karma

It has been a busy week in my world of massage. That is a good thing--means I can pay my bills! But it also means that I am tired and worn down. This week I was good to myself and got a 2 hour massage. Now, I hate giving them, but I don't mind asking someone else to do it! :-) My good friend did it-- she knows Cranial/Sacral work so I bet the first 30-45 min. was done with that and then a normal massage. Man, I felt so GOOD after!!! AWESOME! And yes, I tipped her well. I am going to need to go back to her soon.

This week I had Stake Conference--temple night was Friday. I was SO TIRED. It was a challenge to go, but I did and I am glad I did. I did initiatory work. I was walking like an old lady--body just so tired after a long day. Saturday was crazy too. I think I did 6 hours of massage on Friday. Saturday I did 6.5 hours. I was supposed to to 7, but someone didn't get out of a meeting in time (YAY!!!) I was so tired...even more tired than on Fri. I decided to go eat at Chick-fil-A (When do Mint shakes come out??!! St. Patty's is in a month!) Well, I wasn't paying attention and I realized I was about to hit a car. I saw it turning right--right into my lane--and then I looked up and realized my light was RED! I was running a red light and came within inches of hitting a car. Heavenly Father loves me-- I think I used up all my good Karma. So glad I didn't hit it. Totally woke me up! I got my food and went home.... and rested for a bit before my meeting.

I love Stake Conference-- and I really love it when there is a visiting general authority. We had Elder C. Scott Grow (yes, his name is a complete sentence LOL).  I really enjoyed the meeting yesterday and today. He asked the lady sitting next to me to share her testimony--she is John H. Groberg's daughter and he has known her for a long time. I asked her if she grew up in Tonga--she said she lived there when she was little--started grade school there, but no, grew up in Idaho Falls. 

I read Fahrenheit 451 it was ok. At least it was a short book. I have a hard time with "old style" writing. At least I can say I read it!

I went to FHE on Monday--we played Wits and Wagers. It was fun to play that again. I think I actually won, I just turned ALL of my tokens in on the last round and lost... but still over all I won :-) My brother should be proud of me!

I am in Haven withdrawal. I want to see season 3. I may just have to get on itunes and download them all instead of waiting for the dvd to come out... we'll see.

I did survive another lame Valentines- I just ate all the treats I wanted :-)

Much the Same

There hasn't been much of a change this week. I am still enjoying Haven. Sadly I am almost to the end of season 2-- all of season 3 has aired... but how long until the dvd is ready??!!

The diet-- I didn't lose a stinking pound my second week. The first time I did this diet I lost 10 pounds the first 2 weeks! I didn't think I was doing that much different this time. Ah, well. It was stressing me out to not be eating what I was wanting... so now I am be very careful about the carbs I eat-- and sugar (desserts) have been consumed. TYING to be better, and I have been... and I was better about exercising this week-so we'll see how it goes. 

Work has picked up. I just love the spa!!! I was talking to an English teacher--she said she loves teaching The Great Gatsby and Fahrenheit 451  I didn't read either in high school so they are now on my to read list. I really want to finish Gatsby before the movie comes out. 

I did go to FHE and Institute this week-- saw some cute guys, but didn't talk to a single one.... well one but I am 50% sure he was with his girlfriend... or maybe just a good friend as they weren't really a "match". Whatever. I am at least being seen. 

This is my table--notice the ratio between ladies and guys. So typical.

Still trying to get some family history done. Today I learned about indexing. My ward is going to start a contest between the men and the women so I need to step it up and figure this out!

I will do my best to avoid eating my way through yet another stupid Valentine's Day

Family History

I am trying to---learn family history. I am 4-5 weeks in to my class at church... I still don't know very much except that there is a lot to learn. Did you know new family search is not new? It is the church's old version. family search---family tree is the new and improved site... not too sure about improved. Some lady in Aug changed my grandpas name! Really? I have changed it back -- but wonder if I need to email her and ask her who she is and why did she do that? And then a really cool site find a grave-- some man with the last name Eoff put my Grandma Pullen's death info and picture up... my Dad has NO idea who he is... my poor family. We don't know each other and have no idea what is going on. I assume my mother knew this guy because she is linked to my grandma-- oh the things my mother passed away knowing and I didn't find out! The other thing-- because of identity theft-- living people can't be linked on family tree-- so I have to add all my siblings and living family info if I want it to show up on the site! grrr... 

Today I did discover some unknown relative!!! I love the indexing program of the church! Because of an 1880 census I have found people!! So maybe I can get a small amount of relatives figured out and this Summer we can have an Eoff reunion and go to the temple! 

This week I learned that BOTH of my bosses are leaving. My Massage Envy boss is going to open a new M.E. and will be gone by March 1. I am not too sad about that. She kind of drives me crazy. My Spa boss is moving to New York. His last day is Feb. 23. I am sad about that. I really liked working for a LDS boss. He hopes to have a replacement before he leaves, but I guess his hiring process was an ordeal. So-- I hope I have 2 new good and nice bosses.

The diet-- going well. I lost 2 pounds the first week. Doesn't seem like much, but it's a start. It was a rough first week. I am finally thinking of meals that don't require carbs.. (chili, tacos without the shell, etc) It is kind of a pain to cook all the time, but at least it is healthy. I did have 1 relapse day.... the cafeteria at work is usually really good--- and they don't put out desserts very often, well on Sat. they did-- and I chose not to resist a gourmet s'more...a banana mini cupcake, and some coconut awesomeness... .they were all bite size...and to die for. I wanted to eat the whole tray...ugh. I love sweets!!!! And then on Sat since I had already screwed up--- I was hungry and after dealing with Sprint for an hour I was in no mood to cook so I went to Rubios and had 2 fish tacos. I didn't eat the shell, but the fish was battered. A little greasy, but good. I didn't eat the rice either. So-- not too bad of a mess up. Back on the wagon today!

I got Haven season 1 and 2 in the mail on Wed.... I am almost done with season 1. I am LOVING it!!!

I am reading Richard G. Scott's book "Finding Peace, Happiness, and Joy". It is very good. I am definitely taking my time with it.

No picture this week-- I'll try for something next week :-)
