cat, and other happy thoughts

 When this ^ happens to me, instead of thinking there's a stranger in my house, I think "What has my cat broken now?"

Speaking of Tonks, I adopted her a year ago today!

I can't believe it's been that long. I love her so much (even though she's a little wild sometimes).

She's still a kitten at heart, but she's the sweetest snuggle-bug when she wants to be.

Happy thought: C and I joined a gym a few days ago, and we went last night. It was so great to be working out again, and having someone to go with is definitely a good thing.

Another happy thought: two more weeks of school!!

Thought I would share these gems.

 I know, I make really funny faces when I cheer on my Utes—I become a crazy-head.

I just love them too much to look like a normal person.

Thought you'd get a laugh from these great photos from the snowy Utah vs UCLA game last Saturday.

thankful

Thanksgiving is next week, and while the celebrations will be a little different this year than usual, it's still a great holiday. It always makes me sad to see Christmas decorations appear in stores the day after Halloween because it seems like people forgot about Thanksgiving. Don't forget about it—it's an important holiday! Which is why I refuse to listen to Christmas music/watch Christmas movies/do anything Christmas related until Thanksgiving is over. That way I get to celebrate each holiday separately. So, in honor of Thanksgiving coming up soon, here is a list of some things I am thankful for.
1. My faith and my Savior
2. My family
3. C
4. Only having one semester left in college
5. My car
6. My cat (because even though she is a crazy kitten, she will always love me)
7. Utah football/the MUSS
8. Food
9. My wonderful mother for paying me to nanny while I try to find a job

What are you thankful for this time of year?

happiness

Thinking today about how lucky I am.

So so lucky to have him in my life.
He makes me very happy.

Tomorrow I register for my last semester at the U. Eeek!
As for what my plans are after graduation...I have none. But it's all good. I'll figure it out.

It's winter, and I'm actually kind of loving it. What?! At least I'm loving it now, because in about a week I'll be hating it.
Maybe my post-graduation plans will be to move somewhere tropical...

job

I have been stressed about getting a job for more than five months.
Ever since I quit working at lotion land (which, though I was utterly sick of it, in hindsight was probably a bad idea) I have been struggling to find another job.
Sure, I work at the newspaper at school, but that is once a week, and I barely make any money doing it.
I have filled out hundreds of job applications, made just as many phone calls, and done everything I possibly can to get a new job.
How come, even doing all of that, I haven't even gotten an interview yet?
Why doesn't anyone want to hire me?
I'm seriously sick of being stressed out about money. Sure, I've never made enough to just spend it on everything, but I've never had so little money in my bank account that I'm nervous about being able to make my car payment and pay for gas at the same time.
It really sucks to be stressed about money so much.
I really need help.
I'm begging for anyone who knows anyone that is hiring, to please let me know.

Sorry for the stress rant, I'm just going to explode from all this pent up worry, and I needed to get it out.
