The weather has been incredible these last few days! I think we're almost ready to plant our tomatoes! I have really enjoyed waking up to the sun sprinkling through our trees and into my slumber. The trees just outside our window are filling with blossoms and colors and the brightness of Summer. This morning as I was driving into work, I had the windows down and could smell Summer on the breath of morning. Fresh cut grass and the smell of the heat of the Sun burst through my window. As I walked from the parking lot to my office building, I noticed the clouds protecting me from the heat of the Sun, but a few sparkles of Sunlight slipped through the cracks. It reminded me of crackled cinnamon on a cinnamon roll before the frosting, or the crunchy part of creme brulee. A thick sheet with crackling holes in it. I breathed in the smell of Summer flowers and drank the colors of the magnificent tulips and daffodils on Temple Square. They were gorgeous. I longed for my yard to sprout such magnificence itself. It is as if Mother Nature skipped Spring and flew right into Summer. Rumor has it that we will see rain the next 5 days, but with that rain will come renewed magnificence and vigor to the already vibrant flowers. I love to see the thick green manicured lawns, a blanket for Summer picnics and lazy naps in the Sun.
Yesterday I had a night off from working in the restaurants and I relished every moment. I did some grocery shopping, and as I loaded my purchases into my car, I floated away in the breeze to past Summers and the fun of the breeze and carefree days with friends. I let my short hair be whipped by the cooling wind breezing through my car. Something I haven't felt enough! I only cut off my hair at the end of last Summer, and have missed the freeing feeling of wind in my hair.
Welcome Summer, please stay awhile!

Die or Diet
So the office is all abuzz with the chatterings of weight loss, diets, exercises, food, weighing, etc. Another weight loss contest has begun, and this one is free. That means a LOT more people are participating. We began this weight loss journey 2 weeks ago, and unfortunately, my weight hasn't budged--in the right direction. :) I should not have had my drinkable yogurt for immunity before I weighed in. Oh well, maybe next week. Anyway, with all the talk of weight loss and diets, a few co-workers have tried some CRAZY things! One person lost 5 pounds in one week by eating 1 cup of cottage cheese and a piece of fruit for breakfast; a sandwich with meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, mustard and 2 slices of bread; and 6-7 ounces of Chicken breast with 1 cup of vegetables for dinner. Plus, a mulitvitamin and 64 ounces of water daily. 5 pounds in one week! I tried this diet, and lasted about 18 hours. As soon as I couldn't have those stupid cinammon bears in the treat jar, that was ALL I wanted. Since deciding not to do that diet, I haven't even eaten one cinnamon bear. Clearly, it's all psychological for me. :(
Another co-worker is eating a basically all protein diet. She can't have dairy, or even fruit. She can only have vegetables and protein in the form of eggs, chicken, turkey, and fish. She has lost 8 pounds in 1 week. She cheated once and had an apple.
This is crazy!!! I can't even imagine that! My manager at The Roof was telling me that her nutritionist has her eating a lot of protein. If she needs a little snack (chocolate, or some other sugary nightmare) she can have a little, but she offsets it with higher amounts of protein, and continued exercise. She lost 20 pounds in a few months!!!
I eat vegetables (and sometimes fruit), whole grains (I can't even remember the last time I had white bread...), drink a minimum of 64 ounces of water (usually closer to 90-100 oz) and a multivitamin. I eat salads for dinner a lot, and a sandwich for lunch.
So really, I think I'd rather die than diet at this point. I'll keep you posted, and let you know how things are going. Maybe one day I'll actually see the numbers go down.
On a side note, I'm having nightmares about people breaking in to my parents' house while they're out of town, and about 16 people that want to eat at The Roof at 11:15 p.m. and trying to decide if we should let them stay, or turn them away (we close at 10 on the weekends). If those are the most stressful things in my life, I think I'm okay.
On another side note, I hate Ron on the Biggest Loser. He is a big loser, but not because of weight loss, because he betrayed Kristin. Stupid Ron...stupid Mike for giving into his Dad's crazy antics.

Enlightenment
At work, when I'm doing what I refer to as "busy work" or "mindless work" I plug in my iPod and listen to past sessions of General Conference. I really enjoying listening to the talks again (WAY better to listen to them, than to read them). One talk I ran across the other day was by Elder Oaks. It's titled "Divorce" but it has some great applications to married people who hope to not become divorced. I love Elder Oaks for his straightforwardness. There isn't a lot of fluff (I don't always mind stories, but I love how "to-the-point" he is). So, for some enlightenment, click here.
To Clarify...
I feel I need to add to a post I wrote last week. The post titled "Peeved". It was absolutely NOT directed at anyone. I was simply writing a couple of things that bother me. It absolutely was not intended to offend.
Yay may not be in the merriam-webster dictionary, but it is in dictionary.com. It is slang, and therefore not included in the merriam-webster dictionary.
On a happier note, Trent and Heidi moved back! Yay!!!

Happy Easter
Happy Easter!
Josh and I had a great weekend. On Saturday, Josh went golfing with his Dad and brother, played basketball by himself, and then played basketball with his cousins. I taught my violin lessons Saturday morning, then hopped from store to store preparing for Easter. We haven't really ever done Easter baskets before, so I thought this would be a good year to start! It was fun. I went to 4 stores, 3 of which were grocery stores, in hopes of finding some great Easter treats. Unfortunately, by the time I decided to make Easter baskets, all of the candy was gone at 2 of those 3 grocery stores, and the store where I found candy, had a VERY limited supply. It worked out though, we didn't need a lot of candy (we didn't NEED ANY candy--but what's an Easter basket without a few treats??).
Even better than the Easter fun on Saturday, I had a great weekend of reflection. I pondered the great blessing of Resurrection. I thought of loved ones, and friends, and even strangers, who have physical ailments. I thought of the hope the Resurrection brings to each of us every day. I thought of emotional struggles and ailments people I know and love have to endure. I thought of the hope for them. I thought of the hope the Atonement brings. The hope that even though we have all sinned, we can all choose to live with Heavenly Father again, if we repent. I'm grateful for that blessing, and that opportunity.
Easter Sunday was great as well. My reflection continued well on into Sunday evening. We had dinner with Josh's family this year. No contest for families this year because my parents are still out of town. We had chicken and hamburgers, fruit, chips, and dessert. I was assigned dessert this year, so I tried out Bakerella's cupcake bites. They are basically cake and frosting rolled into a ball, then dipped in chocolate. The chocolate makes it look like a little cupcake. I'll have to finish the batch, and actually take a picture of one. They weren't that cute, but people said they liked them, so that was good. They were fun to make, and that's what I spent Sunday morning doing. I will now have to re-stock my supply of candy melts. :) I used a bag and a half of candy melts. I'm excited to re-stock.
Today, I've felt happy and recharged, as if Easter and the renewal of Spring happened inside of me this year. I go through this sometimes, where it takes a weekend for me to recharge, and renew, and then I'm ready for more. I'm feeling great, and revved up to keep going. Tonight, I'm going to try to make some bread. I borrowed my Mom's breadmaker, so I think I'm going to try it out tonight. I may even finish making the cupcake bites. (I ran out of time to finish them yesterday before dinner).
Happy Spring, and Easter to everyone!!!

Panhandler Prep's Noteworthy Hobo Choir
After reconnecting with a friend through facebook, we decided to go to lunch. She came to SLC to see her sister graduate from college, and we decided to take advantage of that by meeting for lunch. We decided to meet at the Gateway mall. I barely missed the trax train, so I decided to wait 9 minutes for the next one. No big deal. I boarded the train and was happily on my way. Since today was particularly cold and rainy, there were a lot of homeless people (maybe they aren't actually homeless per se, but they were definitely very poor. and dirty.) So, the group of them are laughing and chuckling and then they break out in song. They all knew the words, and they weren't particularly quiet either. hee hee hee. I couldn't really understand most of the words, but the part they knew best was, "I keep gettin' richer, but they won't put my picture (read: pitchuh) on the cover of the Rolling Stones". I thought at some point there was something about someone named Katie. So, curious as I am, I typed that phrase (yes, the whole thing) into my google search bar. It is called, "Cover of the Rolling Stones" by Dr. Hook. That alone made me chuckle. For your sheer enjoyment, I'm copying the words below.
"Well We're big rock singers
We got golden fingers
And we're loved everywhere we go
"We sing about beauty
And we sing about truth
At ten thousand dollars a show
"We take all kinds of pills
To give us all kinds of thrills
But the thrill we've bever known
"Is the thrill that will get you
When you get your picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone
chorus:
"Going to see my picture on the cover
Gonna buy five copies for my Mother
Gonna see my smiling face
On the cover of the Rooling Stone
"I got a freaky old lady
Name a cocaine Katy
Who embroiders on my jeans
I got my poor old gray hair Daddy
Driving my Limousine
"Now lets all decide
To blow our minds
But our minds won't really be blown
"Like the blow that will get'cha
When you get your picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stones
chorus
"We got a lot of little
Teenage blue-eyed groupies
Who'd do anything we'd say
"We got a genuine Indian guru
He's teaching us a better way
We got all the friends that money can buy
So we never have to be alone
"And we keep getting richer
But we can't get our picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stones
chorus
chorus"
And now -- I'm really creeped out.

Peeved
I have some wacky pet peeves. I remember studying the spelling bee lists for hours, spinning in my socks on the kitchen floor while my Mom quizzed me on the words for the upcoming spelling bee. I LOVED spelling. I was always way more interested in spelling than say, Math. :) That being said, I have pet peeves with the misuse of the English language, as well as misspelled words.
I hate it when people end sentences with a dangling preposition.
Examples:
Peeve: Where you at? (not just the preposition here, should at least be where're you at?)
Solution: Where are you?
Peeve: Where's that at? / Where are my shoes at?
Solution: Where is that? / Where are my shoes?
Peeve: I won $100! Yeah!
Solution: I won $100! Yay!
There, I'm weird. I HATE it when people write yeah, but they mean yay. It irritates me so badly, I want to login to their blog, facebook, twitter, text message, email, whatever--and correct it. I'm not sure why I hate this so much, but I really do. It rubs me the wrong way!!! Think fingers on a chalkboard, walking barefoot on hot coals, salt in a wound.
While perusing a co-worker's blog one day, I found a link to a site with clarification for the oh-so-hard-to-get-right yeah, yay, yah, ya, yea. I have copied the information so you don't even have to go to the site to find it.
"I certainly would not consider myself the spelling expert but I often see yeah and yay misused so I thought I’d have a little education session.
Yeah - pronounced ye-uh as in yes
"Hey Jen, are you going to with us to the mall."- girl a; "Yeah, I’ll go"- girl b
Yay - rhymes with and is a synonym of hooray. It’s used in cases of excitement.
"Did I tell you I won an ipod?" - girl a; "No! Oh that is exciting. Yay!" - girl b
Yah - is also an expersion of agreement but there is no excitement.
"Hey are you ready to go" - girl a; "yah" - girl b
Ya - means you
"How are ya?"
Yea - is a very old-fashioned formal way of saying “yes,” used mainly in voting. It’s the opposite of—and rhymes with—“nay.”
"All in favor say yea, all opposed nay."
and if that wasn’t confusing enough yay can also refer to height, as in "when I was yay big" [holding hand up]
Did you catch all that?"
Thank you Alison, for linking to this site. Oh, and just to be fair, so I'm not 'stealing', here is a link to the real post.
I'll spare you all from my dramatic pet peeves not related to grammar and spelling.

Sweet, Sweet Irony
One of my favorite shows to watch is The Biggest Loser: Couples. I cry (or scream) every week. I know, I'm a little pathetic. It is on t.v. on Tuesday nights, but since I'm managing at the Roof on Tuesdays (temporarily), I don't get off work in time to watch it. So, I record it. Well, being the manager on Tuesdays is great! I get to bring home a "to-go box" of desserts after the restaurant closes. So last night, I sat down with my Chocolate Decadence Cake, Eclairs, Chocolate Covered Strawberries, and Creme Brulee, and watched The Biggest Loser.
Don't worry, I didn't eat all of that stuff! Mostly just the chocolate-covered strawberries. I was savoring stiff chocolate on sweet, juicy, plump strawberries, while I watched the contestants sweat their brains out.
It was quite lovely!

i heart music
Last week I was feeling a little down about a few things in life. Not being done with school, not going off to a fancy far away grad school, not feeling like I had really accomplished much in awhile, feeling overwhelmed and behind at work, etc., etc., etc., blah blah blah. I enjoyed an evening with a super fun friend (the other Katie) and it was relaxing to just not worry about anything else. Just have some dinner (and buy a cheap pink sparkly bling watch) with a friend--and her cute son. It was a welcome night off, and I was happy and recharged by the end of the night. We met at the Gateway Mall and walked around for a little while before going to California Pizza Kitchen for dinner. (I found a little black hair in my pizza, and got my meal for free.) Realizing I didn't have enough validations, and no cash, I stopped at Bath and Body Works in hopes of finding something cheap to justify them giving me a validation. I wiped a few colors of lipstick on my hand and after making my selection, I asked the Salesperson for a tissue or something to wipe my hands with. Duh! I forgot they have a sink in the store with scrubs and soaps and lotions to try. She suggested I try a sugar scrub, so I did. It was so neat! I've used salt scrubs before, but the sugar scrub was totally different. The thick sugar chunks dug into my palms and it was exhilarating! I found that they were on sale, so I picked one (or two) up. It attributed to my lifted spirits.
I had been feeling so out of touch with music. I haven't had violin lessons in about 3 years, and I was really feeling sad about that. I called that day to set up violin lessons with the renewed determination to finish my music degree (that I'm so close to having anyway...assuming some credits transfer...). My goal is to audition for the U of U music program (in probably a year), and hopefully even be offered a scholarship. I'm not sure how long it will take me to finish, but I don't care. I'm ready for the committment!
When I got home, I called my violin teacher, and was almost in tears as I tried to explain to him how empty my life has felt without the constant musical involvement. (Teaching violin to 6 year olds just isn't enough...) I immediately pulled out my violin and drew my bow across the strings. The most resonant sound came streaming out, and again, I almost cried. It was so relaxing, and such a relief, to once again be practicing. I played Unaccompanied Bach Partitas and Sonatas for nearly an hour. My fingers were red and raw, and my neck was bearing the visual signs of practice once again. I was so happy. It was all I could do not to cry. For fear of sounding cheesy and cliche, I hesitate with this next part; My heart and my soul long to sing through music. I've never been a strong technical player, I've always been a musical player. One of my Music Theory teachers at Weber once said he doesn't care what Heaven is really like as long as he is in the orchestra. I want to be in that orchestra.
I once again felt complete as I practiced. I can't wait for April 15th - the day my lessons begin again. There is something so relaxing (though it can be frustrating too) about music, and creating music, and interpreting music, and feeling music.
P.S. I'm always taking new students that are dedicated. I start as young as 3, and have had LOTS of teacher training. Pass the word along!

Wanted:
Fun female friend who will be dedicated to daily exercise (at least 5 times a week) and has a membership to Gold's Gym. Must be willing to work out between the hours of 7 and 9 p.m. most weeknights, and not interested in gabbing while on cardio machines. Must be fun and friendly, and absolutely committed to weight loss. Does this sound like you? Leave a message in the comments.
Seriously though, it's gotten very difficult for me to get to the gym. Now that I have to take the freeway to get there, and no one will go with me, it's pretty difficult. I get lonely in the first place, but throw in working out alone, and I'm a lonely mess. I need some serious motivation, I'm losing mine. I am really serious about this. I don't care if I don't even know you. I just need a gym partner who will be consistent, and who can go later in the evenings. (Not always that late, but frequently). Please, help me find my gym-mate. I need to get rid of these extra pounds.
