I almost burnt our kitchen down
Friday night Tara, Joslyn, Travis and I were watching 17 Again after work. It was meant as a girls' night but Travis is amazing and wiley and managed to weasle his way into playing with us. I was on the couch waiting for some water I had on the stove to start boiling, not really paying attention to it, just waiting to eat some Mac and Cheese like a normal starving college student who can't afford a more gourmet meal. I don't know how long I had been sitting there when all of the sudden Travis turned towards me, flung his arm out and whacked me in the eye. He managed then to grab my arm like he had originally planned to and say in a very calm, reassuring voice "Don't worry, your kitchen is on fire, but I got it." Ok...I'm not worrying. Wait, WHAT?!?!?!
As I rushed into the kitchen after Travis with a stinging eye I saw a giant flame engulfing the pot on the stove. In all his manlyhood and glory, Travis immediately picked up the pot of water and dumped it onto the greedy fire. With the fire put out and the three of us girls standing in awe and shock I realized that had Travis not been there I would not have known what to do with the fire. His courage did not go unnoted, I gave him a giant hug and told him that I planned on us being friends forever because of that.

A typical day
Monday August 10, 2009
Bedtime: midnight
Tuesday August 11, 2009
3:30am Awoke from short slumber and rolled off air mattress I shared with my best friend that night.
4:00am Left Pleasant Grove and drove up to Salt Lake to drop brother-in-law off at airport. Managed a coherent conversation full of updates on boys and work.
4:37am Left Salt Lake airport and started blasting the tunes, fearful of falling asleep on drive home.
5:12am Reached PG - not tired in the least...
5:15-7:45am Dropped iPod into dock and continued to let mind wander aimlessly through the lyrics of heart broken musicians. Took a scalding hot shower, checked email, ate breakfast, watched TV, got ready for the day, did laundry and dishes.
7:45-8:25am Attempted to sleep, ended lying in bed staring at the wall
8:25-9:00am Finished getting ready, tidied up house, drove to work
9:00-5:30pm Worked through a consistent grogginess, took lunch with roommate and friend, licked 19 envelopes, gave myself 18 small cuts on my finger with an Xact-O knife (I was cutting vinyl)
5:30-6:30pm Went back up to PG to take dog out and feed her, watched some Disney channel
7:00pm Back in the 'Vo talking to friend about my day
7:30pm-8:20pm Went and bothered guy friends. Invited myself over and overtook their lovesac
8:20-9:20pm Grocery shopping with roomies
9:25-11:00pm Swimming with friends and Starburst unwrapping contest
11:00pm Turned down invitation to go watch meteor shower up the Provo Canyon...needed to get back to PG and sleep
11:00pm-2:00am Drove back up to PG, did more laundry, watched more Disney and TiVoed shows, baked a pie...
2:25am Finally fell asleep after a 23 hour day

Budgeting Joys
One of my closest friends growing up posted on her and her hubbie's blog about mint.com. Since I've been struggling with budgeting myself, especially since my parents have let me out on my own, I decided to check it out. My first reaction after I had set up my account and seen where my money was going was "ACK!!!" It's a really cool website and it puts everything into graphs and pie charts; creates a budget for you and sends you warnings when your checking account is low. Anyway, I suggest checking it out, I think I am in love with it already and we've only been in a relationship for about 15 mintues.
