Random Acts of Writing

So this post is going to just be about a million different things that I have been thinking about all week long, starting with:

SNOW!
Oh geez, where to start on this one. Probably with the fact that I HATE IT!! I hate driving in it, I hate the coldness of it, the wetness of it, the fact that is ruins my hair-do's, the fact that I have to scrape it off my car in the morning and that it soaks the bottoms of my pants.
I guess I shouldn't complain about it to much, because really we haven't had to deal with it for to long, but we still have months to go before it is really over. AHHHHHH!! I don't know how many more driving-to/from-work days I can take!! Coming home from work on Friday was so scary and the worst part about it was that I didn't have my cell phone. I felt so lost without it.
And while I am on the topic of driving in the snow, I have to mention the stupid drivers out there. The ones that tailgate me and make me more nervous than I already am and the ones that cut me off as if I had all the time in the world to slam on my brakes so I wont plow into them. It drives me crazy!! So I have decided that when I finally get some money to buy a car, it WILL have AWD cause I hate being without it!!

Next would be CHRISTMAS SHOPPING!
This time of year is so crazy! There are only 4 days to Christmas and guess what.... I DON'T HAVE ALL MY SHOPPING DONE!! And I'm not talking about being short a gift or two, oh no.... I don't have gifts for about 5 people. No good!! With my finals only ending this week it has been hard to focus on anything else. And then there is the fact that I didn't get paid until the 15th, so my money supply was short. And worst of all, I have had so much trouble trying to figure out what to get people. I am really indecisive any way, but this year seems to be extra hard. I don't know what to get any one, and even though I have wandered 5 or 6 stores, just hoping that things will pop out at me, I am having NO LUCK!! So really need to get all of it done on Monday and guess what will be here just in time for that.... yup another snow storm, just my luck!

Now for a RANDOM THOUGHT.
I went to Gardner Village tonight to do some of that wandering I mentioned, and on the way there, I passed the West Jordan City Cemetery. This is where my Grandpa was buried and for some reason it just hit me and I had a little melt down in the car. It's still just weird to think that he is gone and that this is the first Christmas with out him.

My addiction: LIP GLOSS!!
So, I know I am supposed to be shopping for other people, but it's not going so well. But that doesn't stop me from finding stuff for myself!! And some of you may know, I have a slight addiction to lip stuff, especially if it comes in cool packaging! And I know that stores are totally watching for suckers like me, and that is why they put stuff like this in the check out line so you are forced to look at it while you are waiting. This is exactly what happened while I was at Bath & Body works tonight. I found some way cool lip gloss while I was standing in line and I cant wait to use it!!

And for you Twilight fans here's some NEW MOON info:
First of all, we only have to wait a year (well, technically less than a year) to see our favorite vampire as the release date is set for November 20th, 2009!! I am already counting down!! There is a new director for the movie, Chris Weitz, and it will be interesting to see his take on it. Hopefully he will stay true to the book and will make an awesome movie even though he only has a short time to do it. Also, there are talks that they will be replacing Taylor Lautner as Jacob Black, which to me is pretty sad. I have never been a big Jacob fan, but I hate it when they change actors. I understand what they are thinking on it, but its just not the same when they change people. I also read online today that Ben Barnes (Prince Caspian from the new Chronicles of Narnia movie) is wanting the part of Aro. HUH??? Okay, so he's a pretty good looking kid, but he is so young and Aro is supposed to look WAY old!! I just don't get it!! So who knows what will happen! I just hope the whole thing works out and that the movies just keep getting better!!

Well, I think that is about it. Sorry for all of the crazy random-ness!! Good luck to any of you that are still Christmas shopping (I share you pain) and drive safe in our crazy Utah weather.
