Subtle Captivation, Week Five: People Around Me, Change

January 22^nd-31^st People Around Me

Hello Monday. We meet again. The day when you’re supposed to be getting back into the routine of things. Kimber went to school and Ben and the kids left. I spent part of the day trying to clean up and the other part being lazy.

Tuesday…it snowed. A lot. The roads were awful. Kimber’s school was cancelled so we took some pictures in the snow for her Beacon application. Woot. It was cold. I didn’t go to ballet.

Wednesday we decorated journals for mutual while watching Pride and Prejudice. I didn’t catch much of the movie, so I borrowed it from my leader.

Thursday….what did I even do on Thursday? I think…I helped watch Miles…and then cleaned Elizabeth and Allan’s house with Grandma and Grandpa. I think we ate pizza that night…or was it Taco Bell? I think it was Taco Bell. Lavish, right?

February 1^st-3^rd Change

Friday I dragged my feet a bit. I wasn’t really inclined to go to Youth Conference. At all. A little bit of a pep talk form Mason (hardly a pep talk really…more of a “you’re gonna go. No matter what.” That’s not exactly what he said, he actually said “Have fun choosing Youth Conference!” but…same thing), and then I watched Pride and Prejudice, which kind of made me giddy (I am a HOPELESS romantic.) So I went. I actually ended up having a pretty good time.

Saturday was a long day. It was fun, but also tiring. We went cross country skiing, and can I just say that that is a MAJOR WORKOUT? I applaud those who do it and regular skiing for fun. That is hard stuff. I got to know some of the young women in the ward a lot better, which was nice. All in all, a pretty good day. But coming home was definitely one of my favorite parts. I laid down on the couch and almost fell asleep.

Sunday…today…ow. Just ow. I hurt all over. Push-ups on Friday night and skiing on Saturday…makes for some pain. We went to sacrament meeting, and then came home because my stomach wasn’t feeling well and Kaleb was being a buttmunch. Kimber did my hair and make-up and we did another one of her pictures for her application. Woohoo, only four letters left.
