Forever 21
So, I am twenty one tomorrow. Happy birthday to me!! Thing is, I am pretty sure I just graduated high school. I love life right now, and would really love it if someone would pay me to go to school for the rest of my life! That would rock my world! So, yesterday was kind of the day from heck. First, I got up at 7 freikin thirty in the morning, got dressed in some really snazzy clothes and heels, put on some makeup, did my hair, was feeling really pretty.... But, it was all for nothing. I was all ready for my job interview, but realized that if I were to leave right then, and book it to the interview, I would still be late because of all the traffic at that time in the morning. So, smarty pants little me, decided to figure a way around it. I looked on the computer, called their office and got surface street directions that would avoid the traffic. So, I have my directions, in my pretty snazzy clothes, pretty faced, high heels, and what do you think happened? I hate baby gates. I fell head first over the gate with my foot caught in the gate, and my hands on the ground. So, in my pencil skirt with one leg hanging in the air wondering what was happening, you get the picture. So, after untangling myself from the gate, I checked out my brusies, nothing bleeding, so off i went in the blue car with the orange spot on it. After exiting the freeway, I realized that if I went this way I would end up being about twenty minutes late. But, I did not speed on that road, called Harbor blvd. As I was on my way, I was driving in the middle lane out of three quite happily, and the car in front of me moved to the far right lane. Having been there for quite a while, I was just driving as usual. Then that car that had moved, decided it was time to move back right quick and slam on their breaks. So, thier back left got a couple of scratches, and my front right was accordianed in, headlight gone and the hood pressed up... Not really good. Then, I saw the dog move out from in front of the car in front of me, stupid dog. In order to save that dogs life, I missed my interview, totaled the car and waited for the police for over an hour and a half, for absolutley no reason. There is three hours of my life I will never get back. Anyway, so I drove home using trask all the way from santa ana to huntington beach. That was fun. So, I go with dad, and the car people say it is totaled. The insurance guy says it might be partially my fault. And my foot is still hurting from tripping over that damndable gate that morning! At the end of the day, I was: Out of a car, lost about four hours for no reason, missed my interview, didnt kill the dog, bruised my foot, and maybe ripped my skirt. Not only that, but the car was really dirty when all of this happened. I hope the dog appreciates what I went through for it. It ran away after it ruined my day, dang dog. I hope it didnt die of shock after it went away. So, that was my bad day. On a happier note. I am alive and am twenty one tomorrow. I really hope twenty one ends a little better than did twenty! But I am kind of glad for the car with the big orange spot. It went out with a blaze of glory, and saved a dog's life. What a way to go! P.s. I am actually really happy right now, but it makes me feel better to write about the bad days, and talk to people about the good ones! Whomever wishes to give me a present, is most certainly welcome. Just keep in mind, I had a really bad day, and am no longer driving myself anywhere. So, your pitty and generosity is encouraged! Love, Mary Hannah

Worms....

So bad day...And here's why... I went to work, in clothes I didnt like, with no good shoes, and bad hair, not to mention all my makeup gone. Plus the airconditioner was out today, so I sweated to death. Anyway, some lady came up to my register, and I asked her if she had come from the line. (All the customers form one line, but people sometimes jump the line and play dumb, or they really dont see it.) So, she flips out. "OF COURSE I CAME FROM THE LINE! I COME HERE AND YOU GIVE ME THE THIRD DEGREE!" So I apoligize, and begin to ring up her items. Then, she cant find her cupon. "HOW COULD I LOSE THAT CUPON, IT WAS JUST HERE. NO WONDER I LOST IT WITH YOU GIVING ME THE THIRD DEGREE, I JUST CAME HERE TO BUY STUFF WITH MY CUPON, AND NOW I CANT FIND IT!" So now I am a little confused. So I tell her that we can give her the fifteen percent off anyway, and she shuts up. The third degree? Geeze, I hate to think what would have happened if I had asked her two questions. So then I get lunch. I go to wendys and order a chicken sandwich and a drink, at the window he tells me I owe them seven dollars. SEVEN DOLLARS! The guy then tells me that it is really good chicken, not the other stuff that is in there other sandwiches. It was not a good sandwich. Then I sit in the parking lot, thinking, "I am having a bad day, my sandwich is terrible, i am fat today, my face is dirty and NOBODY WILL PARK NEXT TO ME!" You know you were having a bad day, when you are sad that nobody will park next to you. (Even though the parking lot was crazy, and the space next to me stayed open for like ten minutes!) So there is my little rant for the day. I think I will eat my worms now.

Pretty

So, I love california. It is so pretty here. I walk out in the afternoon, (Having just woken up) and take a big breath in, mmmmm... I love it here. Really, we get the palm trees, ocean, blue skies, green grass, oh well, you get the idea. Although this place I live is my favorite place on the planet, I would like a little adventure. (Adventure being a little more than my frequent run-ins with the police.) (Which by the way, I did again today) So, if anyone has any suggestions for a good, cheap, fun, adventure, please, dont hesitate to comment. Anhoo...That's it! Love, Mary Powell

J-E-L-L-O it's alive!

Well, I decided to let anyone read my blog now. Mostly because I cant figure out how to only let particular people view it. But anyways, I have a funny story! So I picked Elizabeth up from school at marina and was in the parking lot on the phone with someone, just about to pull out of the parking lot on edinger when I see the po po right in front of me. So I handed the phone to elizabeth. Then I made a left hand turn out of the parking lot. No sooner was I out on the street when the police officers lights went on. So I pulled over. She looks at me and says, "Not only were you on your cell phone but you made a left hand turn where it is illegal." I honestly had no idea what she was talking about. I didnt know you couldnt make a left turn there! Then she takes my licence and registration. She is gone for a couple of minutes. Then she has me look at the licence and figure out "what is wrong with it." I am thouroughly confused. I didnt think it was a fake id and I was wondering if it was a trick question. So I asked what exactly am I supposed to be looking for? It was expired. Dang! So I think that is it, I am going to jail. But by some miracle she doesnt even give me a ticket! I must be the luckiest person in the world! But still, so embarrassing. Anyhoo, I wansnt allowed to drive away. So I was stranded. Luckily Grandpa came and got us out of there. Anyways, other than that, school is starting and I am really excited. Life is good. Oh, and cleo has a cone on her head. Sad but really funny!

REAl POST!!

SO, I've had this thought on my mind. Short people have long faces, long people have short faces, big people have little humor and little people have no humor at all. Just a quote from one of my favorite movies of all time. Speaking of movies, I've seen alot of good ones latley. I saw hellboy I and II, step up 2, penelope, and a few more I think. But one movie in particular stands out in my mind. We all went with mom and people from the ward to see mamma mia. Fun movie, but it has quite a few dirty parts in it. Mom was so embarrassed. She melted more and more into her seat each time something yucky came on the screen. I love mom. But I kinda got to thinkin. I wasnt too disturbed by the whole thing. It's like I am immune to it. At first I kinda made fun of mom, but now I think she really has a point. Why settle for movies that are crappy without the grose humor? Isnt it sad that we are all so used to that kind of thing now a days. What ever happened to great movies like singin in the rain? or even calamity jane? (which by the way happens to be my favorite movie, no laughter please..) I think it is a real mark of a good movie to be more creative than potty humor to fill up a movie. So, yeah, dont get me wrong, I do laugh sometimes at the potty humor, but I'm wondering if we should? oh well, something to think about. The last few nights I have spent sleeping at mimis. Mimi's house holds so many good memories for me. But as soon as it turns dark outside, It gets really scary in there! Theres all these noises from the neighbors, and creaks from the house, oh and this really wierd gurgling sound, like water running. It's been this way since forever. Also, it doesnt help that mimi's house has been broken into a few times. So, I get the heeby geebies. anyhoo, I have finally stopped being punished at work! I called in sick, so they cut me back to about four hours a week. But I suppose they arent mad anymore cause I am back to regular hours. Work is interesting. Last saturday when I worked I had the most terrible woman come to my register. So, at first she seems nice enough. Old lady with her husband, normal right? Well, as I ring her up for these patio chair cushions an asian lady comes and starts asking her about where she found these cushions in the store, how much they were etc. But as the asian lady gets closer and touches the cushions the old woman starts cringing away from the asian woman and saying under her breath, "DOnt touch me!" and "Get away from my stuff". At first I was thinkin she was insane or something, but after the asian lady left the old woman starts to tell me about how she doesnt want any asian touching her stuff or her, because they carry tb. She started explaining to me how she saw in the news that asians have brought tb back into orange county, and how it is rampant. I was in shock. I dont think that I have ever seen someone so crazy. So, that was an experience. Also, one time some random old man stripped off his shirt and gave it to me as a gift. He had on another shirt underneath, but still, insane right? Yeah, I've met some real crazies. but I guess that makes life interesting. On a more happy note, I got a handmedown laptop computer from one of the people my mom babysits for. As soon as I get a battery that works, I'll be portably connected to the internet. Cool right? Also, I am going with mimi to marissa's wedding. Cant wait! Okay, well I love all of you very much! Especially you carly, cause you always comment on my blog! Love, Mary Hannah

Today is a great day. It is really pretty outside and I plan on enjoying it. The other day I went to my friend heidi's birthday party at the beach and got reallllly burned. I had a ponytail on my wrist so now I have a ponytail tan, It's kind of cool though cause it looks like I am always wearing a watch, minus the watch part. But I went boogie boarding and body surfing, good stuff. got a good tan. I will probably get skin cancer which is a really bad thing. One ITEM THAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT, SARA, YOU NEED TO RE-INVITE ME TO THE SISTER'S BLOG!!! I guess my original invite expired. Elizabeth is away at youth conference. mom is in charge of the prop 8 campaign for our ward. she is really busy with that. anyhoo, I gotta go. eventually I will have a real blog to write. promise.

Good morning everyone! Yes I am awake before 12 in the afternoon and it is a miracle! Woke up at nine actually, amazing. (but I did go to sleep at like 8o'clock last night ;) Things are really good here at my house. This month is Michael's, Robert's, Owen's, Chase's and I think someone elses birthdays. Loads of fun. Last night we had three desserts. Cake, Ice cream and chocolate mousse. Amazing! I only had the chocolate mousse and I was still wayyyy too full. So things have been a little quiet for me latley. Not too much going on. Except I think that I am getting shorter. If that is possible then it is definitley happening. I cleaned my room, which if you have seen it, is no small task. I am thinking about becoming a chef, or major in cullinary arts. Sounds like fun, and I like to cook. I dunno, please comment if you have any suggestions. School is starting sooner than I think and i really have no idea what I want to do with this semester. Singles ward is good. So that is all I have to say for now. Love ya, Mary Hannah

Hair today gone tomorrow




this is the before picture. long lucsious hair, not very exciting.... except that is the moon in my mouth, cool pic right?
guess who this is???
It's me! It's me!
please ignore the face and focus on the hair
yes i did dye my hair


So, Marissa and Lara talked me into getting my hair chopped off!! Yeah, why do I have to be the brave one? But it wasnt just them. I went to supercuts and the guy cutting my hair (who was very attractive, and suprisingly not gay.) said it would be a hot cut... I caved... I know easy sale right? But I am getting used to it and liking it more every day. Things otherwise are good here. I am going on a road trip to Idaho in two days... out of the blue. I'm keeping rissy company. It should be lots of fun, if marissa manages to not throw up in the car at any point. School's out, got strait b's. Which isnt my favorite but hey, it's passing. And I think I am gonna get a full time job with better pay and quit Kohls, I dunno that is still kinda up in the air. Give me some Ideas people! Becca is comming in two or three days and I am way excited about that. Unfortunatley I will miss half of her stay here, which kinda sucks, acutally really sucks! But at least she will get my room to stay in with her and her cute little baby alex who I havent seen in like forever! Love that kid. So anyhoo, gotta go clean and pack! Love Love Love all of you, who knows that I love them already, as for you strangers, I like you anyways! Okay, have a good one!

I am back in blog land. Things are good today. Havent posted in a while cause I really dont have that many interesting things to say. Except today I think that I might say a few things of interest to a few. Okay, maybe I 'd just like to think that... anyways... It is around 11 o'clock at nite right now and I am really tired. I just spent the day driving to places and watching Breakfast at Tiffany's. I havent seen it in a long time and I remember liking it the first time... But it is really a strange movie if you think about it. I mean, that chick is nutz! Plus Roman Holiday is waaaayyyy better. Audrey Hephburn is a great actress anyways. Now My Fair Lady is the one that I really dont get. What exactly is their relationship? I wish that someone could give a little after the fact information. Currently I am taking a ceramics class and we are working with the pottery wheel.... I hate the pottery wheel. I make fine pieces and then I ruin them while bagging them up to put in the damp room or taking them off the wheel. It is really a sad fact. I think I just cracked my tooth on a mentos. Dang! thoes dont grow back ya know. anyhoodle, I had to drop my phychology class cause I was falling behind and I would rather get good grades in just a few classes then bad grades in more classes. maybe I am off my rocker, someone please let me know about that. Also latley things have been getting a little crazy around here. Not really, that is a lie... Not so much crazy as it is loud. And my room is a mess. I hate that, but it happens more often than not so we live with it and move on, too much trouble to clean it. Also, I was supposed to buy a parking permit at the beginning of the semester, And here we only have about five weeks left and I am still without one. Instead I have just been paying the dollar a day to park. Dumb huh? I just never seem to have time and now I dont even know if it is worth it to go and get one or just keep paying the dollar a day? Okay, that is life latley. Love to most of you! and like to the rest! Mary Hannah

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

So, tomarrow is my first day of second semester of college. Tomarrow I start with psychology then art then ceramics. Also I think I am gonna go to a institute class. Full day I know. But it should be really fun! Exciting stuff. Valentines Day is comming up! Horray! Also David's birthday. Mimi's birthday is today and we are going over to her house to celebrate, even if she is real sick. Owen is over at our house right now and he is pretending to be a kitten. Only problem is that he is an attack kitten and keeps attacking me! But he is EATING!!! He lost a lot of weight cause he wouldnt eat for a while. Like 6 weeks. He was on an all liquid diet. But now he is eating alot! Hooray! Man, that kid is huge. He is not fat, but tall and stocky. Lifting him is now like a workout. My room is a mess, life is a little... crazy. but I think it is my fault. I dont really remember things very well anymore, I have youth alztimers I think. Also I sleep alot. It is really getting better though. Now I get up at like 11:00 instead of 2:00. ;) Okay I think this blog is really boring cause I dont have anything juicy to say. But I guess one post is better than no post at all. Somebody talk to me on this blog so that I can respond to something. Love all of you out there who read this blog. Even the ones who dont, I still love ya! Mary Hannah

Okay, I am bacccckkkkk!!!! Dont know if anyone reads my blog anymore but I figured I would update a little. Havent posted in a long time so I am not sure what you dont already know... Oh well, hear it again! Life is really good. Yep, that is a true statement. I will start my second semester in college in about a week and a half, majoring in art. Yes, art. I have always loved to draw and appreciate other people's geinus. I am not very good though, It is just really fun. But I have a really big problem... One of my classes is called "life drawing" and I just found out that it means the human body. But the only thing i am worried about is that I might have to draw naked people!!! Ewe... I am not too sure what I will do if i am going to stay in the class but I might have to hire someone to cover my eyes during class. ;) The other classes are pretty standard, psych 100 and pe and another art class, should be fun. I miss my family. They are all scattered to the winds again after the holidays. I miss all of the rest of my neice and nephews. No fair, why does america have to be so big. But I will see them again hopefully sooner rather than later. I still live at home, yes, and it is a very hard thing to do. I think harder than living out on your own. I dunno, ask me when I have tried both. I am exactly 5'1 still and havent moved an inch since about sixth grade. But, I still hold hope for the future. I saw a really cute movie called 27 dresses today, just fyi. I really dont have anything more to say, wierd cause I normally cant stop talking. Okay to everyone who reads this, I love you and probably think about you all the time. I dunno, depends on the person. I heard a saying today that I really like. "I love your guts". graphic, but effective. Bye bye

Okay, well I am gonna post cause i have some newsie stuff to share. Currently I am in florida helping Sara and matt with the kids and stuff. I get home on monday and two hrs after i get there i start my first college class. Communications. but my brother daniel is in there with me so it is nice that i will get to see and friendly face. then I get to do dance, sign language, child psych, and something else i cant really remember. So yeah, I think that life is just about to start for me. Hopefully anyways. I am gonna go to the singles ward and to institute, and clean my grandma's house and take care of her. I love that lady. She is funny. So I am pretty sure that i havent slept in my own bed for about 2 months. Yeah, I kinda miss that bed, spent many a night there, you know, sleeping. Good dreams and all that too. I have to say that my favorite dream is the one where you get to fly. Only problem is I cant stay up as long as i want and all that. You'd think that you'd have controll over your own flight in your dreams, but, not me. random i know, but still interesting. to me at least. So I am hoping that my life stays intact when i get home, I'd really appreciate that. Okay, well much love to anyone out there who still reads this blog. love, Mary Hannah
