track for the day: Don't See The Sorrow by Au Revior Simone
Met up with a friend today to eat dinner and try and get my phone fixed. Neither happened but my friend and I spent a long while reading one of the PostSecret books. Man, I almost got emotional in the bookstore. I held back though. Sometimes other peoples secrets are our own or their secrets might be our own fear or happiness and it's always good to know someone else out there is having the same moment that we ourselves are having. Also spend a good deal of time with the boys and they talked about robots taking over the world...for three dang hours. Pretty entertaining! Received another bday present. Coolest gloves! I'll try and post a picture.
Met someone new. Seems pretty cool...way too cool for boring me! Ha! Oh and it is dang freezing outside tonight :(
Oh and C sent me an email saying:
"Amera love, meant to send you the below email last week, but forgot and since seeing you last night just reinforced my opinion of you needing a man, here is a letter that i found. fits you perfectly!
Dear Love,
First, let me begin by saying that yes, I've heard all the sayings about you and patience and inner beauty and all that good stuff. I'm also aware of your stance on there being someone for everyone.
With that said, I have to humbly admit that I don't believe you. And then even you would have to admit that I have good reason not to believe you, what with all the proof you've given me. For instance, where's my boyfriend? Go on, look around a little. Can't find him? Neither can I. That's because he doesn't exist, you see. Never has. As a matter of fact, I can't recall any males my age ever showing any particular interest in me. At all.
It's almost my birthday. So any proving you'd like to do by then would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Amera
P.S.
If necessary, I would like a legitimate sign to tell me whether to prepare for my life alone, if that's not too much trouble."
WTH? Really getting sick of friends and their ideals towards life and love and me!

Christmas Tree!
track for the day: Silent Night by whomever feels the need to sing it
This week has been crazy busy. That is both good and bad. When I look at my calendar at work I get excited and scared. I have nothing but events and business planned until vacation! But then once vacation comes I'll be good to go!
This week: I went over to Gordy's because she baked cheesecake and that is my fav and some other people from church came over and we all chatted. I'm pretty sure I made it awkward, but what can I do? I am awkward. I also need to work on the filter that runs my thoughts from my brain to my mouth. It hasn't been working properly for a while now and it's been getting me in trouble! Heheheheh ;) I had friends over for dinner and merriment. Friends took me out to din din and a party. I went to see a play down at BYU called, Children of Eden. It was written by the guy who wrote Wicked. Today a friend brought me lunch. Jazz games. Oh and the Christmas tree is getting put up! All in all a good week!
I'd rather do the right things than say them. At the same time, I want others to do both. Hypocritical? I know. Sometimes in life we are stuck in a situation we cannot change and we just have to be happy about it and live through it. I'm pretty much there right now and it's not an ideal place to be but I'm choosing to smile.

Happy Birthday
track for the day: I'll Be Home For Christmas (If Only In Your Dreams) by Frank Sinatra
Today I lied big time and I don't feel bad about it. It was to help a coworkers daughter get into her car. She left the keys inside and locked herself out and my AAA was being stupid. We pay them good money each year the least they could do was help the one time I call them!
Also today? I'm the big 2-8. Woo hoo! This week is set to be a blast. Fun things planned!

Bye Bye Thanksgiving
track for the day: The Christmas Son by Michale Bolton
Yes, that's right! It's time for nothing but Christmas tracks! I have my tree and am going to put up lights and ornaments on Tuesday! I'm excited. It's become tradition to put up lights on December 1st each year.
My friend bought me a sippy cup because I keep spilling drinks in my house. I was super busy this morning and so when I reached into the dishwasher and grabbed a cup I didn't think twice that it was the sippy cup. Holy hell. How do babies do it? I tried drinking my juice on the way to work and it was so hard. I gave myself a headache trying to drink out of that thing! Basically I had a sippy cup FAIL! Ha ha!
It needs to snow and it needs to snow now. As in every day for the next 2-3 months! That would be awesome.
Oh and I wore my diamond ring and now a few people at work think I'm engaged. Even when I try to tell them I'm not. It's actually quite funny!

Thanksgiving
track for the day: Maybe by Ingrid Michaelson
Wells and I have not spoken, seen each other, or even emailed/texted in almost 60 days. It's been super hard. I am such a jerk, but for me it's been hard because I feel like I lost my right arm. He is my best friend so it's been hard and I've been silent and sort of introverted about talking about certain things. I've also noticed I've become more cynical. Now that I think about it, maybe not cynical, but my inflection and tone have definitely not been there as they usually are for me and some of my friends have commented on it. Like I'm mad or sad or something. Not true. I do not like this and am going to try and not do it.
This past holiday has been a good one. I am super thankful for all that I have right now and for the place that I am in my life. That I know what I want and that I recognize my faults and embrace them while I appreciate what makes me who I am. I am thankful for those in my life that know me and appreciate me and who are good friends. I am thankful that I know my Savior and am so humbled by all that He has done. Recently in a talk I had with my stake president, he asked me if I felt worthy for certain blessings. Okay crap. I'm starting to cry. Ack. Anyway, I sat there for about 7 or so minutes thinking about my answer and I told him, "No. I am not worthy for anything that the Savior has to offer except love and forgiveness." Apparently that wasn't the right answer because I was crying then too. I know I am way to hard on myself when it comes to certain things, but it's so hard. I have insecurities just like everyone else, but I feel on a daily basis that I do not do enough to exalt Him and to show Him how much I do care and appreciate His blessings. Oh PS. my talk went well and guess what? Yep, it's true.
I am still looking for a new job. It's disheartening because I have not seen that many postings that I want to apply for. The jobs that do sound interesting pay 5-6 dollars less than my current job does and that won't fly with my current budget. I feel like losing hope or giving up. It's been a few months and nothing. Maybe around the new year the job market will pick up.
I can officially play my Christmas music out loud without getting dirty looks from coworkers. I'm decorating my office starting on Monday. And I can now proudly show off my Christmas socks and watch all the Christmas movies that I want! Hooray!!!

Ohm
track for the day: All These Things That I Have Done by The Killers
Most obscure reference I've heard in a long time? "Put that in your book...." I do not think I would have figured it out if the friend hadn't told me. Dances With Wolves. Who the heck quotes that movie? Apparently my friend does, but geez!
So I got into an argument with an ice scraper and the ice scraper won. I now have a surface wound on my hand. No biggie other than it refuses to stop bleeding. Every time I move my hand it starts to bleed. I could not find a napkin or tissue so I licked the blood off my hand. I then realized how disgusting that was and almost vomited!
For about 12 minutes tonight I got so angry that I contemplated telling someone off. Then I realized how stupid that was and how I don't want for negativeness to be put out there because of me. All in all, I learned some the situation and won't repeat that again. Rant: How come someone be so rude as to stand you up and not apologize for it until days later and then just laugh it off, twice in a row? Then another to be really late and not call ahead? That is so disrespectful and I can't handle that right now so I just won't hang out with that person anymore. My next door neighbor to the rescue! Came over with: Darjeeling Limited, Oreo's, milk and pizza!
I am so blessed to have good people around me that strengthen my well being and beliefs.
I'm also thankful for a 2 day work week. Hooray!
Oh and yesterday it was clear skies and high winds then around 4 it started sprinkling. Around 5:30 it started snowing and didn't stop for a long while. 10pm at least or maybe longer still. I was so happy to see snow. I just wish it has dumped a ton here downtown. I would like to see the city shut down for once. That would be rad!

Power Kicks
track for the day: Do I Do by Stevie Wonder
I think I am finally done being sick. I still have the sniffles, but that's okay.
RSL won the cup and it was a pretty good game to watch. It came down to penalty shots. With triple overtime! It was very cool.
My meeting at church went well. I'll send certain people an email. Watch for it!
I met an extremely attractive guy. Too bad he is from Provo and also not interested in me, Ho hum.
Saw the movie Precious. Holy crap. Intense movie and my heart constantly aches when thinking about the horrible things she had to go through. I am going to see if the book is at the library because I want to see if it tells what happened to her. The movie lets you see a bit, but I want to know the finally outcome. We thought it might have been based on a true story.
