Read This 2


A Rave:





I love this book.  I know what you might be thinking, "Isn't this a book written for couples?"  I am aware that it is marketed to married couples but I've read it and it applies to everyone, young and old.  If you really want to argue with me, you can't because Gary Chapman wrote a book for singles too:

So now there can be no arguments from you unattached folk.
I spent two years of my life in an Education program having "multiple intelligences" and "learning styles" drilled into my head so the idea that people love differently makes perfect sense to me.  It also gives an answer to many relationship problems, romantic or not.  I strongly recommend this book and it's spin-offs to everyone.  Find out your love language and learn how to communicate in the language of those around you.  For the record, mine are Quality Time and Physical Touch (just sayin....).  Don't have a clue what I'm talking about?  Read it and find out:)

Read This!

A Rave:



Read this book, watch the movie.  The book is fantastic and they did a phenomenal job of translating it to film.  There's my book recommendation for the day.  You're welcome.

Dear Job

A Rant:
I have a strong dislike for my job.  It didn't start out that way though, we had our moments of laughter and happiness.  It was like a brand new relationship, both of us presenting our best selves, but that relationship was an illusion.  Before too long the job began to show its true colors.  Disorganization, no communication, hypocrisy and blatant disregard for certain regulations were becoming more and more common.  I tried my hardest to keep it together, but it has become apparent that I need to cut myself free from this toxic relationship.  I wish I could say "It's not you, it's me" but that would be lying and I'd hate to be untruthful.  It is time for me to move on to a healthier, more stable work environment.  Don't hate me, Job, this really would be the best for the both of us, I learned a lot from you and hope I have impacted you as well.  I wish you all the best...but mostly hope the best for me:)

Okay, I know that probably reads pretty silly but it was fun to write.  It's all truth.  I work at a (CENSORED, to protect the innocent or the guilty).  The office/management gets an F for their lack of quality communication with their staff and an F- for how they treat their "valuable" employees.  Recently, the powers that be, moved me out of my room and stuck me in hell.  Ok so maybe it really isn't hell but my easy-going happiness has lessened over this past week so it's pretty darn close.  I didn't want Sunday to end because it meant that this week was going to happen.  I only worked 3 hours today.  I had the option to stay later but didn't take it.  THAT'S HOW MUCH I CAN'T STAND TO BE THERE, I'D RATHER LEAVE THAN MAKE MONEY!  Whew, that was pretty intense there.  Sorry about that folks. Needless to say, I'm in the market for a new means of money-making.  And I thought graduating would solve the employment problem.  Hahaha, so funny:)

First Day

Hurray, my first post!  I don't know if anyone will actually read this, but I promise to make it as entertaining as possible.  I currently reside in the happenin' place of Provo, UT.  I've graduated from college and am slugging my way through my job whilst looking for a new one(more on that later).  I have three fabulous roommates , they are the best(don't try to argue with me, you will lose) and we have many fantastical adventures.  I absolutely love to read and several bookish blogs may appear on here.  I am currently trying to figure out what I want to do with my life, which isn't turning out to be as much fun as I thought it would be.  Who knew?
