1 really good reason to shave your legs in winter...

Is because you will not have to be embarrassed when you slip on the ice while walking in to the Salt Lake Temple and need to ask an adorable old temple worker if they have a first aid kit then refuse to show her your "owie" and make up a lame excuse like you're not really that hurt anyway but the pain really is bad and you are bleeding down your leggings which leads you to write a run on sentence in a blog post instead. Let the psycho analysis begin!

Saturday Seething, part 63 of a 444 part series

Around mid February is when I start getting tired of Winter. I'm tired of scraping snow and ice off my car. I'm tired of wearing dark colors and choosing my footwear based on how many inches of the white stuff (well really by this point it is a yucky brown) I have to trudge through. I'm tired of being wet and cold.
Now to clarify, I really do enjoy Winter but it seems to drag on and on. I feel the same about Summer come late August.
I love having all four seasons in Utah but my favorites by far are Spring and Fall and they always seem to be crowded by Summer and Winter. I love sweater/light jacket weather. I love wearing a pair of flats without socks. I love the colors of the newly leafing trees contrasted with the brown of the bare branches. I love when the leafs turn colors and blow in the wind.
My favorite months of the year are April, May, September, and October.
I do love Winter and Summer but they are examples of having too much of a good thing. The "blizzard" today has just pushed me over the edge. I'm going to try to stay positive and March is just around the corner. A few more snow storms are left and then it will be early Spring where it snows in the morning and then it all melts by the afternoon.
Stay Warm!!

Saturday Seething, part 62 of a 444 part series

Not much to seethe about today other than really tired feet and a sore throat.

I'm one week in to my new job and I love it so far (yay!!!).

I thought I did a lot of standing at the gallery but I did have a stool to lean against so my feet aren't as prepared to stand 8-9 hours a day as I thought. The trick is going to be wearing different shoes every day. I wore Lesley's danskos yesterday and they were fine except for the bruises they left on the top of my feet. I wore the danskos when I worked at Eat a Burger without any problems (other than rolling my ankles occasionally). Today I'm wearing Lesley's Simples and they've been good so far.

Now, without further ado...
The Top Five Things I Love About My New Job:
1. I love being downtown at City Creek Center.
2. I don't feel the pressure to "make the sale".
3. I love being cheerful at 7 AM and surprising people :)
4. I love the all you can drink soda (FRESCA!!!)
5. I love feeling a part of a team rather than a lone reed.

Valentines Day 2013

My sister sent me this e-card this morning and I love it, of course.
Today is my "saturday" and I have a super bad sore throat and headache so I got to cuddle with my cats all day. Millie and Fiona are such great sources of love and happiness. They have magical powers to make you feel better no matter what. They are a miracle and blessing in my life. I feel so lucky!!

I don't think it's normal to be so nervous in social situations that all you can think about trying not to get your sweat on the guy sitting next you.

Last Day at Repartee

Tomorrow will be my last day working at the gallery. I'm excited for new opportunities but at the same time heartbroken to leave the work I love. As I have been preparing for this day, I get more and more excited to work for VRx and be working in downtown SLC at City Creek. The future is bright!!
