GC to GC

Nate has inspired me to make general conference to general conference goals. I think it's genius. Spring is my least favorite time of year, so it feels good to have something inspiring me. I have so much on my to-do list right now, I never want to be sitting around... I want to always be crossing stuff off my to-do lists and goals. I WANT TO DO IT ALL!

a handful (of the many) GC to GC goals are listed here:
- learn to whistle really loud
- illustrate my cake story
- do a barrel roll on the shores of fiji
- grow my hair down to my knees
- get to work on time

Warm days make me happy and anxious. Happy because there is a limitless number of outdoor activities to take advantage of, and anxious because I hate wasting sunlight when I'm at my computer drafting at work. Thank heavens I can bike to work, to get some of the "adventure" out of me on my way, so sitting there doesn't feel like a waste.

Today the good weather, mixed with a good book made me extra anxious. I somehow heard that it was going to storm and be cold all week, so I just drove my bug to work. Well, it turned into a beautiful day and I couldn't sit still. I was determined to go home and get my bike at lunch to take advantage of the sunshine. (on the way home, I even see Nate biking on his way to UVU)

While I was at home I started to read Hunger Games, while I ate some cheese on round bread with sam's salsa, and then couldn't put it down. It was sooo good that I lost track of time and then didn't have time to ride my bike back to work. Agh! Sooo, now I have ruined my chance to enjoy the sunshine, can't stop thinking about Hunger Games and how it'l end, and I am going to be short on today's hours.

That's okay, I can make up the missed hours tomorrow, I tell myself. I can go for a bike ride after work. Still, the end to the book is killing me... what is going to happen?? (I haven't been hooked by a book like this in eons it feels like) I get to my desk at work and continue to read. I'm almost done. 30 minutes go by. There are only a few pages left. It's got to be coming together here soon. Man, I am wasting time. One page left. It' not rapping up. I flip the page. I NEED to know what will happen.... End of Book One

WHAT??!!!??
what a waste of a sunny afternoon! The suspense is still there! I haven't satisfied anything!

Lesson learned: never sacrifice to read over to ride.

thanks for nothing, Hunger Games.

On a brighter note, I did go on a bike ride. Andie long boarded beside me down in the gully.
Also, Sam has his papers in! Yes, it's true. The map is up! Where is he headed to? I can't handle that my sweet mission prep boys are spreading their wings and flying away! I love them so much. Especially Sam (duh, he's my brother), I think I will cry every day he is gone.

So come see the map. 50 cents a guess.
