Hi everybody! Today is a good day! Except my mom is sick... that is never good... But the sun is shining today and I get to go to work and not see the sun at all. But maybe I'll catch the moon at around 10:30 tonite when I get off from working at Kohls. by the way, Kohls isnt really that bad of a job, I get to talk to people and push buttons and talk on the phone, it's right up my alley! Guess what! Really, take a flying guess, come on! Okay, well I am changing my major. Right now I am an art major. But, then I went to the museum and discovered that I really dont appreciate other people's art as much as I should. That would be a real problem in an art major. So, Now I think I will be a fine arts major cause it includes so many different area's of types of art like, music, sculpture, dance etc. Only problem is that I dunno if such a major exists. Please comment if you know anything about the subject, I could use a little guidance on this. Life is pretty good right now if I do say so myself. Except I am wearing my big pink fuzzy robe and I am really hot right now. Okay, I gotta get ready for work and take care of my mom. Love love love you! Mary Hannah

Okay, so I think alot of you got the wrong impression about my last blog. My Dad wasnt intending to be mean, and all of these things were taken a little bit out of context. But I know he doesnt mean them in a mean way. I love my dad and he wouldnt say thoes things seriously. So, now that that is all cleared up... Life is good today. I slept in until about 12 o'clock today and it was really wonderful. Yesterday was class from 8 in the morining until about 10 at nite, so I am kinda tired. Work is giving me one more day to work! HOORAY! I could really use the hours. I really dont like Home Depot. I waited for like 15 minutes for someone to come and help me with making a copy of a key and no one seemed to be able to give me for real directions, it was always very vague. Like, "Over in that direction" or "With the lumber" when there is like 10 isles of lumber. Plus everyone seemed like they really didnt want to help me, like I was inconviencing them somehow. Sheese, I need some customer service over here! I went to Enrichment night on tuesday and we made a dish for dinner. I dont really like ground turkey meat I discovered. Actually it kinda groses me out. But we did a bang up job with the rest. I also went to BJs with marissa and we got spinach and artichoke dip and a black and white pizzuki. YUM! It was really fantastic. Then we went to the beach at like 10 at nite, VERY romantic! hahahahahaha, that is what we were saying when we walked down the pier. It was nice though to be outside for a change and absorb the sea air... Like I said romantic right? But the only trouble is that I dont really like going back to the car in the dark cause it is a little scary. Okay, boring blog is now over. Love love love you, Mary Hannah

Yeah, that was one strange kid... his parents were standing right there and were doing nothing to stop him! Sheese, wierdos. Today is a holiday and I am very happy. Things are really good latley. I am in love with my heater blankie cause it makes me cozy. Singles ward is okay... I think that it would be alot better if I had a constant companion. It sucks to go alone... but It is getting better. Tonite I am going to FHE... I let you know how that turns out. Yesterday we had a fiesta at my house! I made corn tortillas and a really good beans and meat with jalepenos and all this good stuff. Steve made excellent bean dip that I ate wayyyyyy to much of. Dad told me I did the tortillas wrong, but poo on him! Let him try and do it next time! Also, dad told me that I am past porky, husky, (so basically fat!) and that I smelled bad and that my hair was icky. Yeah, he isnt very good for my self esteem. Today I went back to playing the piano and played for like an hour and a half. Bout time that the piano got a workout! Today I also went to arbys with marissa for the first time and ate the most disgusting sandwich that I have ever tasted. It was like a roast beef patty with bad ketchup on it. So, I am officially against arbys! yuck! On wednesday we get to use india ink in art class and I am really excited. My room is really messy. I got a perfume for the first time ever! But dont tell my mom... if she knows I am wearing it she will suddenly get a headache! Just kidding mom! Not about the perfume, but about the headache. It is really cold right now and I really want to go swimming! maybe another day... So I just realized how random this blog is and I thank anyone who stayed along for the ride. Bless you! Love love love you! Mary Hannah

So, here's what I am thinking... I slept until 2 o'clock today. That was not a good Idea! Today is Valentines day and I dont have a valentine. bummer. Oh well, maybe I will find one in the course of the day. Today I meet my visiting teachers and tomarrow I go to a young adult dinner for valentines day... without a date. LAME! but I am gonna go anyhoo. Maybe rissy will go with me. Hmmm..... I really miss having people around to play with. Everyone is so busy all the time, not really me though, I only am out of commission like three days a week for school and work. I am kind of on a downer day... I dont really have anything funny to say and there isnt much that is interesting on my mind. But I do have a funny story to tell... I was at work and this little 6 or 7 yr old boy with a bit of a mental handicap came up to me and started saying., "I am getting married today" like over and over again so I am like "Cool, who are you getting married to?" then He says "We're getting married today" ... "gonna kiss you on the mouth!" So I am like, ahhh! I was nice though, I said "Oh we are?" And he then kept saying over and over again how he was gonna kiss me on the mouth. I let him down gently but when he turned to leave he opened his arms for a hug, so I am like okay and I bent down and gave him a hug and then he goes to kiss me on the mouth!!! So he wont let me go and I am like dodging this kid until I can squeeze out. So, it was kinda funny. But you know the funniest part, this is the most action I have gotten in a long time! hahahahahahahahahaha, just kidding! So, that was funny. I'm thinking that nothing really interesting has happened other than that. So, love love love you all, Mary Hannah

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz now I know my abc's next time wont you sing with me?! Today is tuesday... the beginning of the week and nothing is really going on. School is going really good... except I missed class yesterday and I am really worried about getting behind. But I am trying really hard. One problem... I really hate mundane long reading assignments. Like fifty pages of crap that you have to have understood entirley by the time you are done. After 8 hours of school each day they expect you to do 4 or more hours of homework while you are at home!! I really dont think that they understand that you do have a life outside of college. Not that I do or anything I just would really like to know how other people balance school, church, social and family all at the same time! I have great respect for anyone who can conquer this task. Anyhoodle... That is really my only complaint right now. Other than that things are going swimmingly. I would really like to go to the beach and the gym. Problem, I have no one to go with me. I have a little bit of a loaner complex, so being alone isnt exactly my forte. Maybe I'll just have to get over it and suck it up and go anyway. I have a funny confession to make... I secretly love princess diaries movies. Lame I know, but I just love corny movies that make you laugh. So today I took David to get a mennie pedie. (man's pedicure). It was interesting that is for sure. I think that he felt a little akward surrounded by women and little asian women who were rubbing and cleaning his feet. He took it really well though, I thought. And I have never seen cleaner feet on a boy. So, Happy birthday David!! Latley I am on the slimfast plan and am not loosing any weight. Darn it! I drink one for breakfast and one for lunch and have a regular dinner with the fam. Nothing, not even 1 lb. I'm sticking with it though. Plus, I really like how slimfast tastes so It is okay with me to continue drinking it. I am having an "I feel pretty" Day. It doesnt happen too often so I am soaking It up while I can. Who knows where these days come from, but it is really a blessing when they do come. I hate the "I feel ugly" days. Thoes are the worst. Nothing looks good on you, you feel fat all the time and nothing seems to make you feel better except not going out and seeing the world cause you dont want the world to see you. I know we all have thoes days so I think we are all in agreement that they suck. So, here is my list of things to accomplish before June: Pass my classes this semester, get my seminary diploma, lose 20 pounds (hopefully), have a good summer job set up (at least paying 10$ an hour, I can dream cant I?), get back to piano lessons, join the gym. and that is all I can think of right now. So, have a nice day! love love love you, Mary Hannah

Okay Okay, So I totally love school. These are things I love these days: My family, (duh) my mom, art class, being clean just out of the shower, having semi-long nails (long time nail biter),work last week (which is totally a miracle), owen calling me "minnie" instead of Mary (which makes when he says to me, "say sorry minnie!" so much cuter!), cute babies, the movie "martian child", clean clothes (no matter how much I hate actually doing the laundry, the after effect is great!), being so tired that everything becomes funny, funny people, when max raises one eyebrow at me, getting letters (its just not quite the same getting comments on my blog...), clean toes just after a peddie (which I dont get very often), calling a pedicure a "peddie", talking to mimi, getting to go to my ceramics class, getting ahead in school, the after effect of balancing my checkbook.. not actually doing it, alicia's haircolor, making to-do lists, not having any zits at the moment, getting skinnier, sunny brezzy days, taking warm showers, having one on one time with my bed, valentines day, curly hair that I can sometimes get with a curling iron, and guess what! my short stubby fingers are starting to grow on me! i love: getting new jewlery, getting a new purse, giving David tatoos, making fun swirly things in my sketchbook, having grilled cheese and tomato soup, playing guitar hero, somebody saying "I love you" to me, getting a big hug, being smaller than someone else (hahahahahhahaha), kids giggling, doing things that make people laugh, people that are friendly, long eyelashes, running into David on campus, fresh gum (the sweet mint one is my favorite), making big bubbles with that gum, having my mom get mad and then making her unmad cause she smiled at something I said, great lipgloss, white teeth, having a heater blankie when it is cold, holidays in general, making other people happy, owen, hallie, chase,max, and alex, (but thoes are no-brainers) watching a really good chick flick, having someone call for me, my puppy emma just loving the attention I give her, firm handshakes (no dead fish please), watching disney movies, getting a really good backrub, having my feet tickled, and many more things! Alsooo I love people commenting on what I write. So, do me a favor and communicate with me k? Love, love love you, Mary Hannah

This is the first day of the rest of my life!!!
Made you look! You thought this blog was going to be about something corny huh? Too bad. Life is good!!! My classes are great and I have really funny teachers. But golden west is a place I really do not understand. It says "smoke free campus" and yet there are fresh cigarette butts everywhere! Doesnt seem like students or staff got that message. Also I really dont understand their parking system. It just doesnt seem like anyone likes it at all, students or staff. One last complaint, being on campus when it is raining really sucks. I fell in like every puddle. (funny note, I almost typed piddle just now!;) hahahaha I love little funnys that happen. Only I forget them most of the time like right after they happen. Talk about annoying! So, we are watching owen tonite and he is really cute! I love that kid. I am rambling, but I think that that is what a blog is for. Tell me if I am wrong. I am eating some chips and salsa from marios resturant right now and if any of you have ever eaten there you know how wonderful these things are. Valentines day... I am not sure what to think about this day. Is it chocolate makers creation? Is it owned by the greeeting card's people? I dunno. My dad always does something special for valentines for all of us kids. I like it. One year he gave all of us big chocolate hershey's kisses. REally they were like a 1/2 lb. each! It was hard to keep track of whose was whose in the refridgerator. But when you get to a certain point it doesnt even matter whose it was cause We had all eaten off of it anyways. Good times. So what do you send a missionary for valentines? This is up for discussion so please leave me a comment. Thank you for reading. Love love love you! Mary Hannah
