Going Private...

Hi y'all...

My earlier announcement is kind of hidden down a few posts now... so I am collecting email addresses for people who want to be added to my readers list. Just leave me your email and who you are and I'll put you on! :-) Yay! And yeah- it really is a bummer that going private makes the blog not work on reader... sorry peeps- you'll just have to click on a link like in the old days. Ha.

Happy Little Working Day

I LOVE TO CLEAN. Did y'all know that? I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE to clean. It's only noon and I have thoroughly cleaned the house. Not only THAT, but I also had a successful trip to the DMV this morning- NO WAIT!!!! I still don't have FL plates because they need the title from my financer, BUT YAY! I love productive days. I just need some vermin to help out with my endeavors next time. ;-)

Oh yeah. And I LOVE not going to work.

Life. Just life.

Guess who I get to be friends with again this week!

THE UPDATE:

This week I will continue the journey of becoming Floridian. I, along with my sidekick Sophie (my car), will head to the DMV again to begin the process of getting her new plates. Sniffle. I am still coming to terms with this- but whatever. I mean, really people, Florida has WAAAAAAY more choices when it comes to selecting a license plate anyway! I can have a turtle, oranges, dolphins, the UCF mascot, a whale... what more could I ask for??? Goodbye SKI UTAH.

I am trying to be positive about my job. Those of you who know me well understand that I am ridiculously happy and optimistic and just a pretty darn cheerful person. I gotta admit though that my job really is getting taxing. I know I know... "Poor Amy who has to work a whole 25 hours a week and get paid for 40. Poor Amy who TECHNICALLY only works SEVEN of those hours. Poor Amy who plays princess for a living." But seriously- there are days where the monotony of it all is almost too much to handle. I believe you can choose to be happy or miserable in ANY situation. So I am choosing, again, to be happy. I've kinda lost that determination in the last few weeks.

I'm getting ready to move. The girls and I are moving to a new house, not too far from where we are now. Amy H's dad bought a house that has been in the renovation process for the past few months, and moving time is fast approaching. My room will be about three times bigger, but I admit that I'll miss the cosiness and spirit of my little room here in the Chateau. It's going to be a fun move though- now we have a pool! WAHOO!

How many of you use Google Reader? I'm telling you- it's fabulous. It saves me lots and lots of time when it comes to checking people's blogs and everything. It takes a little while to set it all up and enter all your subscriptions, but ah! It's so worth it.

Annnnnnnnnd on another note: I think I am going to make my blog private. This comes after lots of thinking and being sad that old friends might not find me anymore... BUT I think the time has come. Sooooooooooooooooooooo as of this post I am going to begin collection email addresses so I can approve you on my blog. Lurkers, if you wanna keep lurking it's time to identify yourselves. :-)

Summer Days

Well, the sun has been beating down on us the last few days here in Florida, so we at the B and B stage have been taking full advantage of it. The straight boys, Adam, Ryan, and Casey, were nice enough to let me join in on their boy ball games- pantaloons, wig cap, and all. I looked hot- in more than one way. And all I have to say is "wow", Amy with a soccer ball... why haven't a been playing sports all my life?!?!?!? (I hope y'all catch on to my cynicism and sarcasm here...)

Tales of a Utah Girl Trying to Become Floridian

Ah- the glories of having a day off. Happy. Yup.

So today I took a jaunt over to the Drivers License Division to get my Florida license. Anyone that knows me is aware that I DID not want to do this- but after a girl in my cast got arrested for not having her car registered in Florida, and for not having a FL license, I have finally given in and decided that the consequences of NOT having that done FAR outweigh the personal satisfaction I get from still officially being a UTAHN.

My experience at the DLD? Weeeelllllllllllllllllllllll I got "Hey Girrrrrrrrrl"ed at by two truckers at the local gas station as I frantically looked for an ATM so I could pay CASH for my new license (WHO DOESN'T TAKE CARDS THESE DAYS????), I met a guy name DeVon.. ("You have stunning blue eyes. Wow. You're just gorgeous. Wow. Beautiful. Are you taken?" YES. I was the only non-ethnic person in the building (That comment is not meant to sound bad, but I tell ya... it was something I have never experience before... well, besides Hong Kong...), ANYWAY- and I was chased down in my car by two teen aged boys who were trying to flirt with me. I am SOOOO into 16 year old boys... sheesh. Needless to say, this little Utah girl just wanted to move BACK to Utah after this day. It was actually highly entertaining. I'm always so independent and whatever, but days like today remind me how sheltered I really am. And I like it that way. Ha. And one more thought... why can't I just be ugly??? HA HA HA.

On an "up" note: Florida is GORGEOUS. Today I was on roads I've never been on and wow... it's just so green and pretty and WARM (87 degrees today...). The big puffy white clouds just meander on by ... it's all just very relaxing.

Oh yeah- AAAAANNNNNNNNNNND I am planning a trip for my mom and I in the Florida Keys this summer. I NEED A VACATION.

Oh yeah again... THE OFFICE IS BACK ON TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!

Notebook Rain

Yep- many of you know of my obsession with this movie. I LOVE it. Beyond love it. If I felt like chick-flicking it every day I would watch this movie over and over and never tire of it. Yeah. ANYWAY- so before I moved to Florida I always thought that the rain that happens while they're in the boat was really fake- it just seemed like a movie set with sprinklers raining down on them. Lame.

HOWEVER...

That kind of rain DOES exist here in the South!!! AND I LOVE IT!!! Somebody find me a boat and a bunch of birds. Now.
