I. Love. Reading

I have always loved reading, ever since I was a little girl I have loved reading. But I think I love it even more know because books offer an amazing escape from reality. Not that my life sucks or anything but books allow me to create countless fantasy worlds in my head.
I recently started reading a new book, the fifth in the Fever Series, if you like fiction and aren't afraid of a little graphic detail you should read them they are amazing. I can't put this book down, except for when I have to work or eat or sleep.
I think me liking reading so much is one of the reasons that I love writing, its so much fun to create a story.
I just someday hope that I can write a book as entertaining and fun to read as the ones I have read in my lifetime.

Things That Make Me Happy

There are many things that make me happy but here are just a few.
*Waking up to see Willy's little face on my shoulder.
*Pictures of/or video chatting with my niece McKenna.
*Hot chocolate no matter the weather.
*Ice cream, again no matter the weather.
*Reading a good book or two or three....
*When a really good song I haven't heard in a while comes on my Ipod.
*Kisses from Willy and John

Construction

Construction makes me crazy. I swear people that are in charge of construction projects have no brains, because to me it would make sense to have all your people working on one project and get it done fast before moving. But no whoever is in charge of the construction on North Temple is an idiot. They are getting ready to install trax to the airport, but apparently have 15 million other things they have to do along North temple before they can and they are doing them all at once.
There are no less than 6 different construction zones and projects along the 3 1/2 mile stretch of North Temple I drive every day too and from work, including one right outside my apartment, good thing I have ear plugs. And the way the lanes are closed and merging changes daily, meaning I never know what my drive to work might entail. Its ridiculous to me. Finish one project move to the next and everyone will be less confused, happy and I think things will get done quicker.

Damn the Cupcake!!!

Its no secret that I am self-proclaimed dessertaholic. I love love love desserts. Cheese cake, regular cake, candy, ice cream, anything you can name if its sweet and yummy I'll probably love it. Recently I have been eating healthier, notice I didn't say trying, that is because I have actually been successful the past few weeks. Yesterday while watching the Patriots play like idiots (that is another blog all together) I made baggies with almonds and raisins, veggies, crackers and made some healthy tomato soup and put it in bowls so I have snacks and things to take to work with me to eat. I take my snacks and no money to work so I can't buy things in the vending machines and I am impressed with how well I have been doing, that is until today. I got to work and sitting right near my desk was none other than a cupcake. There were several empty boxes in the garbage and I assume this one was left over from some sort of celebration earlier. I tried to resist but in the end (really it was only like 5 minutes after I got to work) I ate the cupcake. I know I know one cupcake isn't going to ruin everything but still I had hoped I had more will power than that. Note to people at work: Don't leave delicious things by my desk!! I figure an extra 10 or 15 minutes added on to my workout tomorrow will help balance out the cupcake attack. On the positive side said devil cupcake was delicious and may have helped cure my cravings for sweet things for the next few days. Also positive if you are trying to eat better planning out things make its a million times easier! I make a list of all the things I am going to eat for a week, it takes about an hour but is totally worth it, then I check the recipes, make a list of things I need at the store and get just those things once a week. This way I don't have to decide what I am going to have for dinner every single night and end up eating frozen pizza because I don't have anything else in the house. And if I don't buy temptation foods at the store I have nothing to sabotage me when I am awake and bored at 4 am on Friday night. Now if only I can find a way to resist stray cupcakes that may wander my way everything will be grand!

Uh-Oh

My nose is running, my eyes feel droopy and my head is starting to hurt. That can only mean one thing, I am getting sick. And that is the worst possible thing. As if trying to adjust to sleeping in the daylight and working all night isn't bad enough, trying to do it when all I am going to want to do is sleep will be even worse.
Not to mention I have finally started working out and eating healthy and being sick always throws that off, because I have no energy to work out and all I want to eat is chicken noodle soup and crackers. Hopefully I am blowing things way out of proportion and tomorrow I will be fine, but if not wish me luck!

Fun Undies!!

I know this may seem strange to blog about, but I bought new bras and panties yesterday and I'm excited!! I was never a big believer in the need to have your bra and panties match, but I have recently discovered that doing so is fun! So I got four new bras and three new pairs of panties to match.
I have recently decided that feeling sexy (something I have always struggled with) starts underneath your clothes and if you have cute (or sexy) underwear on your going to feel better about yourself all day!
After all no one wants to wear granny panties.

Fail

If I were to be keeping track of how well I was doing at keeping my two resolutions (I posted about them earlier) it would be Resolutions-1 Paige-0. Earlier today, against, my first resolution I freaked out at my boyfriend for something tiny and insignificant. Something I had hoped to not do anymore. I know, I know I can't be perfect and people slip up sometimes but still.
In other news I know have black-out curtains, which said boyfriend so kindly put up for me, and I think it helped me sleep a lot better, which is always good news!
That is really all for now but as always I will keep you posted.
