Adjusting to the Cold...I mean Hot.

We have now spent a whole week living in our new apartment. During this week, I have made some less than pleasant discoveries. It seems that my body has adjusted to living in a non-furnaced place. A non-heated place. My body has been living in such conditions for over a year and a half, and apparently that is a long enough time to adjust, internally and externally. Now I have moved into a more modern place, that comes along with a furnace. It heats the place. And also dries out the air. So I have had unusually dry skin all day every day, and have had blood in my nose (sorry if that grosses you out) for the past week. Not bad, just when I blow it there's some red. My body is trying to recuperate and become used to a dryer, warmer climate. I'm hoping it will be a smooth transition. I am also finding myself being overly warm lately. I sleep too hot, I sit too hot, I am just too hot, more often. It is a weird experience.

As I sit here, I am having my first bloody nose ever. And I had no idea why. And this could be my reason too! (not fun)

Good and Bad Discoveries of the Week

This week we have discovered the secret to life in Provo!! I am serious, it's the best thing ever, and everyone who lives in or near Provo, must take advantage of this secret to life. 1. Go to the Winsong movie theater 2. Purchase a ticket for "Take" (preferably Matinee) 3. Preferably, do not watch this movie because it is a waste of time. But if you have nothing better to do with yourself, go ahead and watch it. 4. Take your movie stub to the dollar theater located by Costco in Orem 5. Finally, enjoy UNLIMITED free movies at this theater. That's right, I said UNLIMITED FREE MOVIES at the dollar theater. I know this sounds to good to be true, but it is oh so true. I have done it, and it works. Last night, we watched a free Indiana Jones from this movie ticket. It was amazing. The movie Take is pretty worthless, but the reward is priceless. Ok, so on to the bad discoveries of the week. I have recently become aware of the advantages and disadvantages that tag along with...

Cake 2.0

Here is our second attempt at fondant covered, decorated cake. We're still working on getting things smoother looking and stuff. It's a chocolate cake with caramel filling. Unfortunately the caramel didn't turn out quite like it was supposed to. It turned into basically sugar. It's probably because I was lazy and used margarine instead of butter. But it's still sweet and that's what's important right?

Going Away Present

Tomorrow is going to be my last day of work at good old Independent Study. It's kind of sad, but also kind of exciting and scary all at the same time. It's sad because I've been here for so long. This is the longest I've ever had one job, and I have made a lot of really good friends here. It's exciting because I will get to have a lot of time off to do whatever I want during the day! And it's scary because I don't have another job lined up yet. After 6 months of applying and interviewing, I'm still none the better for it. I was lucky enough to have one co-worker who cared enough about me and my departure to give me a going-away present. I don't really know why I'm sharing it with you, but here it is: This is the picture he used as a reference to update mine with: Any resemblance? It took him two days to create this picture. He said I was wise enough to become a General Authority. I told him I would have to be a man for that. So he decided to mak...
