Ho-hum

Yesterday was crazy. And great. Work was busy, but got so much done. And then I fin-al-lly got my own temple apparell, picked up stranger girl who's going into the MTC today and needed a companion, took her to the SLC temple were we met up with my long lost friend that I just found over Christmas in the Green Valley Ranch theatre and happens to be living out here. She went to the temple for the first time last weekend in Logan. Both girls had only been once before. It was amazing to see how excited they were to be there. I love the temple, but think it is good to see that new excitement and awe every once in a while. It always seems as if when I am planning to go, things get crazy, and when I finally make it there, sometimes last minute, the world melts away. Great. So I have a new goal to go every week. It's going to be a little hard, but worth it.

Ummm, yeah. I've been feeling pretty contemplative as of late. It's kinda my nature. I have friends who don't quite understand why I go to the grocery store late at night for some misc item that can wait. I do it because I like to walk around by myself in the quiet and see what other people are there and speculate about their lives, and why they are there at midnight as well. There is something calming about it to me. It's how I unwind. I'm strange. Or just mellow. Or boring. White personality! That's me! I suppose it's always been that way.

This morning I intentionally slept in. I knew there was a ton of snow outside and I didnt want to face it. Did I mention that I hate driving my car in the snow? Besides, the streets werent cleared yet, so I was perfectly justified. When I finally ventured outdoors, I realized just how justified I was. It's funny how a blanket of snow can seem centimeters thick when really, it's feet. Yes, I had a least a foot of snow on my car and snow up to my calves. It was fun. It took over an hour to get to work rather than the usual 20 minutes. But I enjoyed the long, slow, detoured ride. And how snow makes everything quieter. I did mention how I'm in this contemplative mood, no?
