Learning To Enjoy The Ride...

Hi All,
I know I have had a few posts about fear and cool quotes about it. This week I found this illustration, From free your mind and think and it really made me think and I just wanted to share it with you.

I like this picture because it is a good reminder that we really need to just try and enjoy the journey of our lives, and we need to go with the flow sometimes.  We all find ourselves at different stages of life.
I love how this illustrates that we all start out with people needing to help us do things and we all end our lives with needing help from people. Well, I guess all our lives we need people helping us along the way.
 I hope this causes you all to think like it did me.

Wow Time Moves Fast...

Hi,
So this week on free your mind and think they posted a cool quote one that I wish I had for the last post.

I love this thought about fear as well, it is a good one to think about.
Today, I have thought a lot how fast time moves and the earth seems to spin a whole lots faster. In fact I live in Utah, where we had hurricane strength winds, and we live no where near an ocean. I found that to be cool. Today, though I found myself in amazement and couldn't believe the end of the year is all ready here, and I am left wondering where did the time go? I know I did fun things and had some hard times but it just seems like a dream. I wish I could find some kind of control for how fast the time goes and reverse it so the good times last and last. Then have  bad and sad times would fly by instead of the way it is.  Or I would love to find my life's soundtrack, that would play like it does in the movies or on reality TV, when something good is about to happen or your about to meet the love of your life, or something scary was going to happen. I think that would be very helpful. I know that could never happen but wouldn't that be cool if it did? It might make the time and life more interesting.
Today, I found myself thinking and wondering what did I do with my time? Did I let my fears go? Did I change for the better this year? Did I learn anything useful or new? Did I make more friends than enemies?
As these questions have swirled around in my head I found this quote that I found so fitting and true.

I love this quote it stopped the questions and reminded me that I just need to live life and never give up and if we mess up or screw up, know that we are all humans.
Which then led me to think about zen and knowing that whatever it is we put out in this world, what ever we say, and how we judge others, always seems to come back to haunt us, and I find myself eating my words. That is something I have done a lot this year. My perspective of this world has changed.

Above is a quote that I believe the Dali Lama once said, I could be wrong on who said it, but it is a good reminder to all of us. Here is something I then thought is don't let the fear of living and doing something wrong get in your way of actually living life. Let go of the fear and live. If letting go of the fear seems stressful or overwhelming break it down into small pieces that way you can work on letting go of your fear one small piece at a time.

As always thanks for reading.

No Fear...

Hi,
I am here with the thought of no fear. I wish I didn't have fear, in fact I struggle letting go of my fears, like too many of us out there do. I find Fear itself is a horrible thing, it seems to be what will either make us or brake us. I wish I had some secret or knew someone that did, that could tell us all, how to let go of fears and just live life, but I have yet to meet anyone. Weird thing about fear is everyone has some form of it whether or not they are going to admit to it or not is another story for another time.
I have thought a lot about fear and what it can or cannot do for a person, and how if somehow someone gets enough fear instilled into you, you will do what they want even when you might not want to or struggle with whatever it is they want you to do.
I have found two really cool quotes that I think might motivate you to look beyond your fears and into a world that is waiting for you to discover it. I have read them a few times and they so far have motivated me in many ways. First one was to admit to everyone that I have fears. Ha ha
The first quote I really like:

Could you imagine if Steve Jobs let his fears win him, we would never have the iphone or the ipad, and it would be a sad world without either invention.
I think learning to live life the way you want to not worrying what others think, is telling your fears that they are not going to win over your decisions any more. I really like it is because when I read it, it reminded me to focus on what it is that I feel I really should be doing.
I like this second quote I found just as well:

When you live in your comfort zones, you never get out and see the world, you never get to experience life to the fullest and that is after all how I believe life should be lived striving and reaching for the next thing and never calling it quits. Getting out of the harbors and exploring the waters that lie in head of you.  Never giving up even when it might seem impossible task you feel you need to be doing. Which just reminded me of another quote I once heard and I really think it is appropriate to share on this post and it is:

I think we all need to remember this last one. Because everything is possible, just might not always turn out the way we wanted but then remind ourselves that nothing experienced is nothing gained. So let go of your fear and live life (which is sometimes easier said then done).

As always thanks for reading!

Some good thoughts to ponder

Hi,
Here are some really good quotes that I came across and yes they all have helped me through my week this week.

The first quote:

I like this one because sometimes in life we all need a reminder that it is okay to say no because sometimes I get caught up in things and I don't remember that the word No exists. If I would remember those to little words some of the unneeded stress would be gone.

The next quote:

I really like this one, I seem to really like Albert Einstein. He has said some really good things. But this one I can just see that the road lies ahead of you and you're only way to go on your way is on a bicycle.

The next quote:

I like this one because all of us have had moments in our lives that we have looked stupid and sometimes like this says great things do you happen to you.

The last one to share with you all:

I love this quote because it reminds me there are so many things in life that are out of my control. That all I need to is breath and let life take its course and it will all work out in the end.

I hope these quotes I have discovered will impact your life as they have mine.

As always thanks for reading!

Believe in a Dream

Hi,
Boy drama is still occurring, and school is busy like ever. I was reminded in all of this to strive for my dream and never settle for anything less than it. Keep pushing myself towards the thing I want the most in life. As, I have found myself thinking about what is my dream? What is it that Laci Kay wants, to do? Where is it that I want to be in 5 or 10 years from now? This questions I have found extremely hard to answer, It is like I am lying to myself and scared of the answer that is hidden deep with in me. Wanting me to find the courage to release it and go full speed towards it. Today while surfing the web I came across a cool quote and I want to share it with you. (I really should get a pinterest account and fill it full of all the cool quotes I have been finding)

I like it because it is so true. There are many in this world, who have failed at their own dreams and they don't want you to have yours. Instead, they try to intimidate you into their dreams. It is hard being strong in this world. I find myself at times wondering how much more, can I take and then I always seem to regard asking because more and more things get piled onto my plate that I thought was all ready pretty full. But I learn to adjust and carry it, I try to be the good solider but it doesn't always seem to work out that way. I know I am stronger than I think I am and I guess I am on the journey right now of learning just how strong I am.  I am also learning that Trusting myself is the best thing to do in this life. I could trust someone else's intuition for my life, but in the end if I am not doing whatever it is I feel I need to do than what they are telling me is worthless. I have one more quote I want to share with you it is one I found and it is now how I am trying to live my life...

There is only one part of this that I don't agree with, is life is short. Reason why, is I cannot remember who said it, or where I have heard it, it went something like this: "Life isn't short, it is long cause it is the only life I have to live and there are moments it seems long."
I would have to say I sometimes feel that life has it moments that I want to pass quickly but seem to linger forever and then there are those moments when I don't want them to end and they seem to speed on by, leaving a memory that I don't ever want to loose.

I hope all of you out there are having a good day.

As always, Thanks for reading!

Spreading a Smile

Hi All,
I don't know about you but my life has been stressful and way busy with school and boy drama. But I won't have it any other way. So as I have been going through life I like to try to find things that will make me smile. Lately, there has been several, funny moments in my life.
The latest one is today, I am sitting in the Marriott Library at the University of Utah studying, when some random guy walks by and comes in close to my ear and says Lucy, Lucy, I didn't respond because My name is Laci not Lucy, and I was also way focused on my Math homework and figuring out the Vectors and why we all should love them. LOL It then registered in my head that maybe the guy was wanting to talk to me, and I turned to where his voice was but he wasn't there any more he was walking away around a corner and I started to laugh and a few of the other students around me where doing the same.
Then, I am sitting here doing my homework and the same guy comes back up to me and says, Hi, why wont you even acknowledge that I am standing here, and we have spoken before it is not like this is my first time talking to you. I didn't even budge to look at him, cause I didn't know him. Then, he said, "I was  being really rude to him" and he walked away. I looked at several students looking at me and I said,"I don't even know him. I have no idea who he is." I started to laugh and so did many of the others around me. Weird library guy. I find it funny because it is way random.

The other one that I hope to bring a smile to your face as it did mine. Is this quote I got from free your mind and think, and I want to share it with you.

Thanks for Reading. 

A Choice

Hi all,
So I found a really cool quote that has inspired this blog post.

I really liked this quote, because there is truth behind it. I think you make a mistake and some part of you liked it and you should know better.
I know this is a really short post, but I have to get back to studying.

Some advice to live by..

Hi All,
I know it has been sometime since I have posted anything on my blog. For that I am sorry, things have just been a little crazy for me.
I would like to share some very important advice I have been given and have been trying to implement in my life. The advice I have been given is:
"Let no one tell you what you need to do in your life, you need to do what feels right and is best for you no matter, the consequences."
Only we can control our destiny, and at times it may seem to others, that our destiny isn't a good choice, But then when looking at it, from the person telling you it isn't a good choice. It usually isn't, for their life and you have to remember they have already lived their life, and your journey is just beginning. Your book is being written, and your pages are blank and waiting to be filled with words, side notes, pictures and memories. The only way to achieve it sometimes is by not listening to anyone and going off of what you feel inside and doing what feels right to you. It is getting out of your comfort zone of fear and finding a happier state. Which reminds me of one of my favorite Japanese proverb:

Fear is only as deep as the mind allows.
Japanese Proverb

I find this advice has been useful for me and I hope you find it useful for yourself as well.  As always thanks for reading. 

My Brain Hurts...

Hi,
I have been so busy and my brain literally hurts from studying. I have been doing math problems and reading and I love school I really do. I love challenging myself to learn and I love the feel of finally understanding a principal and concept.
I also love being on campus and the feeling of learning is in the air. As I have been faced with a mountainous amount of homework, I have found a quote that Mark Twain once said. I would like to share that with you.

This quote has saved me many times as I look at all the things that need to get done and what needs to be memorized and I break it down and set up a time schedule and stick to it and it all gets done.  I know I seem to always say this but I need to be back to studying and homework that is calling my name. I bet if you sit quietly you too can hear it. (Laaaciiii, llllaaaaaccccciiii)  See is calling my name.

As always thanks for reading.

Keep on, Keepin' on...

Hi,
Keep on, Keepin on. Is a motto I have heard a lot in my life. Just keep going and looking forward, but only when the past is accounted for.  I have been on fall break this week and it has been fun. I have been interviewing for jobs and I am keeping my fingers crossed that one of them come through.
As, I have been nervous for my future and everything which has lately been going on in my life I came across this really cool picture and a really good thought.

This is definitely something I know I need to be better at. I find I have had a lot of fear but as I learn work through it, I find a peace and a confidence in my life.
As always thanks for reading.

Weekend

Hi all,
I cannot believe how fast the time seems to go.  This weekend has been a good one so far. I have been needing a break. Changes have been a constant in my life right now and I know everyone's life is full of changes and some are fun and some less fun. It is like trying out what X, Y and Z equal in an equation of math. By trial and error we find out what does and doesn't work. Also learning to enjoy every second of the journey.
I once again have found a really good quote, and I don't remember where I got this one from but if I remember right I pulled it off of an email, that was forwarded on and on and on.  I like this quote because of the truth in it.

My hope is that we all will keep our enthusiasm up so that we can don't have wrinkly souls and I can stay young at heart.

As always thanks for reading.

Peaceful Happy Content Sleepy

Hi all,
I am in a Peaceful, Happy, Content, Sleepy mood tonight. My life is taking off on a fun adventure and I am along for the ride. It is like I have boarded a plane and everyone that is needed is on board and the plane is running down the run way taking off and I am the lucky one that gets to see what adventures lie ahead of me. As I learn to enjoy the moment I find myself in.
Life is interesting in what is given to people to deal with, it has always amazed me how some people I look at their lot in life and they seem to be taking things they are given with a smile on their face and leap in their step.
One thing I find myself saying a lot is, we all have our own battles and struggles in life and everyone acts out in different ways. I finally understand what it means when someone says if everyone in the world through their problems in a huge pile, you would walk away with what you throw into the pile.
While surfing the internet I found yet another cool quote. Except this one has different quotes from the bible about different topics and I do know where I found it at I found it at givinggodswords.com, it was a really good website. I would like to share these thoughts with you.

As always thanks for reading!

Live life

Hi all,
Today was an okay kind of day. I got up and went to school and then came home boring day right. Except for the fact, it was an over cast ski and the wind was blowing cold cold air. It was also a rainy day. I love rainy days, I love how everything looks so much better under a gray ski. How every color looks so beautiful.
 I found a good quote from Mark Twain and it made me think.

We all need to get out of our comfort zones, and live and do what the last line says, Explore, Dream. Discover and I would add Enjoy the moment in which you are given. For it is here now and gone tomorrow. 

As always thanks for reading. 

Crazy Life

Hi World,
My goal of writing everyday on this blog, I have not done so good the past few days. Let's just say life got crazy :)  I have so much homework and no energy to do it. I want to be anywhere but in my room sitting on my floor doing my math homework. Or I sit in the Marriott Library up at the University of Utah in the basement by the windows. Where you really cannot see anything but the grey wall and you can kind of tell what time of day it is by how much light falls down through the crack.
I sometimes want to sit up on the main floor where the sun comes through the windows, and you can see people walk by outside but the problem is, is I loose my focus and find myself staring out the window, at the view over the Salt Lake Valley! It is an amazing view and I love to watch the sunsets over the valley. If any of you are ever in Salt Lake City, you should definitely check it out.
I need to get back to the trig functions and focus on my homework and I really don't want too.  But I must if I want to have a happy report card and better yet if I am happy.
So when surfing the web, the other day I found another cool thought that I want to share with all of you. I don't know what website I found it at, but I found it a thought provoking.

When I read this, it made me think that everyone's life is so different and everyone is out learning new things and living life. My motto is I need to learn to enjoy the journey and help those around me.

As Always thanks for reading.

Applesauce, Inverse Matrices, Homemade Zucchini Bread, Composite Trig Functions

Hi,
I hope all of you are having a good Thursday. I sure am. I have been baking and doing homework. I have learned when I am stressed I do a few things, I Clean, Cook and Exercise. That is what today has been, for me. After, class I came home and made homemade applesauce and worked on math homework, and then while, the Zucchini Bread was in the oven I did trig.  I love the smell of homemade bread, I love cooking. Especially when you know you have the best recipe and it has been passed down through the family. My house smells so good.
A funny thought just hit me, how if I am stressed in life and it feels out of order, I clean. If I am stressed about people or concerned I cook and when I am both I Exercise and then will either cook or clean. I guess, as human beings, we all have funny little quirks. Which makes the world exciting, I found a cool quote that the Dalia Lama said. That kind of fits this concept okay so maybe not so much but it is a good quote.

  
I once again don't know where I pulled this from or who sent it to me, I have had it for sometime. I find it words of wisdom to live by.

As always thanks so much for reading.

WoW

Hi,
Today for me at least has been a good day. I have been working on homework and now, I am updating this blog. So the other day, I found the coolest quote, I don't know the website it was on but here it is:





















I really liked it because it is how I have been feeling lately.
I know this is post is another short one but I got to get back to the books.
As always thanks for reading.

A Best Friend

Hi,
I hope everyone in this world has or at least has experienced what it is like to have a best friend. You know you can have many friends in this world. But I have a best friend, who just moved to Boston and I have missed her.
Today, as I was walking out of one of my classes my phone rang and there was Chelsee's voice on the other end of the phone. I love when after I say hello, She will respond, "Hello friend." She was calling to check up on me. I was going to call her last night, it was 11 pm my time it would have been 1 am hers. Good thing I didn't call her. haha. But I was so excited to hear her voice and hear about her new adventurous back east.
I love how I don't have to explain things she just understands what it is and how I am feeling, and that goes both ways. I can hear things in her voice that are not said.
I have several friends out there. But Chelsee is my Best Friend. Growing up I oft times wondered what it would be like to have a best friend, now I no longer have to wonder. I know.
I hope all of you can kind of relate to me in this aspect.
Thanks so much for reading.

Matrices, Triangles and Vegetable soup..

Hi all,
I bet you are all wondering what Matrices, Triangles and Vegetable soup all have in common. I know, if I was you I would be very confused, but you see I know the answer. :) So I am not confused.
To answer your confusion, is that is how my day so far can be summed up.
I had math classes today and in one class they were talking about matrix and how to manipulate them to get the correct answers. I was very excited, because I understood and remembered how to do it.
Then in my next class, which is trigonometry, we were using triangles to solve every day problems. Such as if I owned a lighthouse and had to tell how far apart to ships were. Or I needed to find the exact location of a fire from two firehouses. Things we have learned started to click. I had to keep telling myself don't over think this it isn't rocket science, just yet. All I am doing is just thinking logically through problems. haha I finally had a few things click and it was making sense. (I haven't done the homework yet, but I think I will be able to remember how).
The reason I haven't done my homework brings us to the Vegetable soup portion of this post. I went to the store and bought vegetables and I am making Cream of Broccoli, except I bought more vegetables in than called for and it has turned into vegetable soup and it is pretty good.
So there you have it, now you are no longer confused :)
Well, I better be off to doing my homework.
As always thanks for reading.

Another Week done...

Another crazy week in the history books. I survived and I have forgotten how much pressure school is, and I am trying to get back into the swing of things. I am also wanting the math skills to come back today in class we reviewed how to find the common variables of two or more equations without using a matrix and I was so excited that I remembered how to do it and I almost could shout out the answers. It felt so good to sound like a genius. haha
I am also excited that today is Friday and tomorrow morning I get to sleep in and enjoy a fun weekend. Tonight, I am meeting up with a few friends to go to the Gateway and I am so excited.
I know another short post but short and simple is the way these seem to go.
As always thanks for reading.

The Big Bang Theory

Hi ya'll,
I hope you had a fun Thursday. My Thursday was a long day of sitting in the library studying away and learning and remembering how to do Trigonometry.  It has been another day of sitting in the library, two this week. Wow!
I am so excited for the TV show The Big Bang Theory. I love the series, about a bunch of nerds. I love how funny and dynamic the show is. I  think it is sad as I can find myself relating with some of the characters.  hahaha I was so excited that it is an hour premier, that totally made my day.
I know this is very short post but I have to get back to homework.
As always, thanks for reading.

Young at heart

Hi all,
I love being up on campus. You see I am friends with people that are 10 years younger than me and they think I am there age or maybe a few years older. I haven't had the heart to tell them just how old I am, so I sit there and smile on the inside. I love being able to be 20 and 21 again.
Funny, thing is I was sitting by a guy, who was complaining about being so old and when I asked him how old he was he smiled and said, "He was 25" I had to laugh on the inside thinking I am a few years older than you. Hahaha I am not complaining I actually like the fact I can pull of being younger than I really am.
The other day I had to show my DL to someone to prove that I was really my age. I know most of you are out there wanting to know my age, and I would love to tell you but here in the USA it is kind of taboo to ask a girls age over the age of 20. haha
As always thanks for reading!

Inside all day

 Hi ya,
So today I have been inside all day long, (partial lie, I had to walk to my car, drive to campus, walk to class and then after class walk to the library) I have been in the basement of the Marriott library sitting and studying for a test tomorrow in my Political science class and I don't feel prepared at all I have sat in the same chair now for 5 hours and I promised myself I won't leave until I understand all the material. (Might, just spend the night in this chair) hahaha
I love school I just forgot how un-fun test are, I know they are what tests whither or not we can think like the professor and whither we can guess what to study or what not to study. I swear if I was a professor I would be the same way though, because it makes people learn the material of your class. I am just nervous though that I will freeze up. Truth-be known, I am horrible at test and standardized tests are even worse. I know and have been told all the tricks to taking a perfect test.  Think logically, deep breathe, don't panic and you can do it. Which I tell myself before each test, that this one I will do my best and it will all work-out. My problem is, that I am an over thinker and so I over think things, way to much. I have a great imagination and it sometimes gets the better of me especially on tests.
Man, I am a nerd. A whole post on tests and my ability to take them. Sorry when I started this post I pictured it going more about how cold the basement of the library is and how I love the feel of learning in the air but sadly I got side tracked on how I don't like tests. Hahaha  I better get back to studying and as always thanks for reading!

Poem for thought

Hi all,
I hope you all had a fun weekend. I have going through my old emails (I found some from 2003) I have been trying to de-junk my electronic folders. I don't like holding onto things, (is what I would like to say) but I have found that I am sadly the type that has a cyber-hoarding problem. I found as I started to delete emails, I was thinking there goes that memory. Funny thing is I haven't read some of them for years. But as I de-junk I am feeling good about my online things.
In dejunking my email, I found this really cute poem, I don't know who wrote it, and maybe many of you have read it as it came to me on a forward but I wanted to share it with you. It really is a poem for thought and it is all about love. I hope you enjoy!

What Actually Love Is

Why do we close our eyes when we sleep? When we cry?
When we imagine? When we kiss? 
This is because the most beautiful things in 
the world are unseen.

We are all a little weird and life's a little weird 
and when we find someone whose weirdness 
is compatible with ours, 
we join up with them and fall in 
mutual weirdness and call it love.

There are things that we never want to let go of, 
people we never want to leave behind, 
but keep in mind that letting go isn't the end of the world, 
it's the beginning of a new life.

Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, 
those who have searched and those who have tried.
For only they can appreciate the importance of the people 
who have touched their lives.

A great love? It's when you shed tears and still 
you care for him, 
it's when he ignores you and still you long for him. 
It's when he begins to love another and yet you still smile 
and say I'm happy for you.

If love fails, set yourself free, 
let your heart spread its wings and fly again. 
Remember you may find love and lose it, but when love dies, 
you never have to die with it.

The strongest people are not those who always win 
but those who stand back up when they fall.

Somehow along the course of life, 
you learn about yourself and realize 
there should never be regrets,
only a lifelong appreciation of the choices you've made.

A true friend understands when you say, I forgot, 
waits forever when you say, just a minute, 
stays when you say leave me alone, 
opens the door even before you knock and says can I come in?

Loving is not how you forget but how you forgive, 
not how you listen but how you understand, 
not what you see but how you feel, 
and not how you let go but how you hold on.

It's more dangerous to weep inwardly rather than outwardly. 
Outward tears can be wiped away while secret tears scar forever.

In love, very rarely do we win 
but when love is true, even if you lose, 
you still win just for having the tingle of loving someone 
more than you love yourself.

There comes a time when we have to stop loving someone 
not because that person has stopped loving us 
but because we have found out 
that they'd be happier if we let go.

It's best to wait for the one you want than settle for one that's available. 
Best to wait for the one you love than one who is around. 
Best to wait for the right one 
because life is too short to waste on just someone.

Sometimes the one you love turns out to be the one who hurts you the most, 
and sometimes the friend who takes you into his arms 
and cries when you cry 
turns out to be the love you never knew you wanted.

If you really love someone never let go, 
don't believe that letting go means that you love best,
instead fight for your love, 
that's what true love is.

Laugh to your heart's content; you cannot go 
through life without it.

As always thanks for reading!

Nerd-ville

Hi,

My sister Andy, drew this on a sidewalk this
 Summer and it seemed fitting to share. 

So, today I had an awaking of all the nerds, I find myself surrounded by. I love nerds because I am one. 

Today, in my math class my professor, came in and announced he would be squinting at us a lot today. Due to the fact on his way to class his glasses he wears broke. Apparently the lens fell out of the glasses. I took a good look at him and sure enough he was a buff nerd type, he and the TA. I had to laugh. Then, after class as I was walking to my car I started to realize, how many nerds were walking around and I had to smile. In fact I started to laugh it was an eye opening experience for me. Then, as I was telling a few friends today, they smiled and said, "You realize, that you are a nerd, right?" Then I had to laugh, and said, "Yeah, I have already been called nerd-a-liscious." Then, I started to laugh. I like Nerds, they rule the world, or at least rule the in which I now find myself in. Which is totally fine for me, because nerds are awesome. 

As Bill Gates once said, "Be nice to nerds, because one day you will end up working for one." 

As always thanks for reading. 

Homework

Hi ya,
Today, I was asked if I had a boyfriend? I thought for a second about this and technically I do. Now I know a few (or most of you) are wondering "technically" How do you technically have a boyfriend? This is how, his name is homework. I spend all my spare time with my homework, studying and striving to memorize things. So, though no it is not a person, it is a time consuming thing, that gets almost all of my attention. I stress over it and take some form of it with me where ever I go.  So you see that's how it is technically without really being a boyfriend. I know kind of a stretch and I am a nerd. There you have it I might need to just get me a boyfriend and even my life out. (Now, on to figure out how to get a boyfriend)
As always Thanks for reading!

Everyday...

Hi,
So up on the University Campus, everyday I park my car, in a different spot. When it comes time to find it, I seem not to be able to remember where I left it. I know of the general area but when it comes right down to finding it on the first try, it is sadly an epic fail. I even have tried to set a graph of some kind to help me remember where I parked it. I try to use lamp posts and anything else that stands out of the parking lot and turns out, that I still cannot find it.
Today, was bad, I have two different lots that I park in. On Monday, Wednesday, Thursday's it is one lot by the stadium and then on Tuesday and Friday's it is in a lot up by the Hospitals. The lots are on opposite sides of the campus. So today, I forgot which lot I was had parked in and went to the wrong one wondered around for a bit then remembered, I had parked in the other lot. (20 minutes later) I am in the lot by the stadium and had to walk 3 full rows of cars before I found mine.
It is kind of getting a little annoying, that I cannot remember where I parked it. It just means that I am a blonde and all I can do is laugh at myself.
It is funny, just not always in the moment.

As always thanks for reading!

Hello

Hi,
So today, has been a great day. I have been not feeling good and I have been so busy with homework and I got my hair cut. Then I came home and sat on my porch and was reading the New York Times. The more I read the newspaper, the more I am wondering can it get worse in this world? Is there any good out there?
I needed a break from the Newspaper so, I decided to post. I wish I had more dating funnies from the website that I am signed up for, but lately guys that have been emailing me have been saying normal things. I take it back, this one guy emails me and all his email said, Make-out with your prince (aka me).
I finally got up the nerve and emailed him back and said, "Lame, and No" This then spurred on a conversation between him and I. When, it came down to it, he kept wanting me to make-out with him, and I said, "NO and wished him luck in finding an easy girl that will make out with him on the first date." He then emailed me back and said, "it wouldn't be that hard to find."
I never answered him back.  Then, two days later he emailed me back and said, "well let me take you out on a date." I replied back and said, "It was harder than you thought it would be?" He responded with, "Yes it was." I had to laugh. Don't worry I didn't go out with him, but I thought it was funny.

As always thanks for reading!

What it is Monday all ready...

Hi all,
I don't know about you but this last weekend went way to fast for me. I cannot believe that it is Monday all ready. I find it funny how we waste a lot of time counting down to the weekend, which I am finding to be just as stressful, with homework and all that I still have to get done.
This past weekend I went to the Dew Tour. For those of you who don't know what the dew tour is, it is BMX and Skateboard challenges) I have always found skating and biking interesting and have at times wished I wasn't scared of getting hurt. To, tell you the truth I have a low tolerance for pain, and so I try to do things that wouldn't put me into pain. I also am not an adrenaline junkie, I take risks only if I can see it will have minimal impact on me. Lame I know but that is how I roll.

Here are two of my favorite athletes, I grew up watching them and I was excited this year to finally meet them.

The Piggy-Tails

                                  Hi all,

Boo

Me

As, I promised here is a picture of me in my pigtails. (I fought the urge as long as I could) But, today I was feeling like I needed to do something different with my hair and here they are. Maybe they weren't as extreme as you thought they were going to be. I bet most of you were thinking I would have kind that comes straight of the sides of my head,  like Boo from Monster's inc. well, you were wrong.  What do you think?
I hope all of you are excited for you weekend that lies ahead. I hope you have fun plans, and if you don't have any plans I hope you enjoy your lazy weekend.
This Weekend I am going to the Dew Tour here in SLC. It is a yearly tradition of my little sister and I to go and I am excited to go and watch the bikers and skaters pull of  
                                  amazing feats and stunts.
                                  Thanks for reading.

The Unit Circle :)

Hi all,
I know today's post is a little late, but on the other side of the world it is early hours of tomorrow, so technically I am still okay :) I will blame my late post on the Unit Circle :)
Today, was crazy, I woke up and my computer didn't work. It wouldn't turn on and I was getting concerned. So, it took 3 hours of my day for it to be looked at, at the Apple store. When the diagnose, came back, it was the power cord that had something funny happen to it and I just had to reset the battery. (I don't know to much about computers, but that is what they told me) I am relieved it is all fixed. Then, when I came home I have been studying Math non-stop.
I have to say memorizing math equations are useful to memorize but not all to fun.
Right, now I am working on memorizing the Unit Circle and all the fun things that come along with that, and the right triangle and how the two work together.
For you out there that don't know what the unit circle looks, here it is:

The Unit Circle

I use to have this thing memorized and all the sine, cosine, tangents, and the identities of all of them.  I use to have a lot of this memorized but I am now in the process of recalling them to my memory.  I hope it comes quick.

Well, I better get back to studying.

As always, thanks for reading. 

The way things are...

Hi ya,
The way things are, are amazing right now in my life. I have the future ahead of me with so many possibilities. I am learning to enjoy the journey, one day at a time and trying not to get frustrated because I cannot see the end just yet. I was asked today what I wanted to be when I grow up? I was kind of blown away because I haven't asked myself just yet what it truly is that I want to be. I know I have a list of 100 things (still be worked on) that I want to accomplish. But, To think deeply about what it truly is that I want to be doing for work. What kind of occupation do I want to do? To, tell you the truth, my mind went blank and still does.
What is it that I truly want to be doing? I know I got the feeling to go to school and I am glad I have followed the feeling to be back in school.
But, what is it that I really should be doing with my life? Where is this schooling going to take me? How much longer will I be in school, I know that only time will give the answers (and so will this blog)

Thanks so much for reading,

A Bucket List

Hi All,
Yesterday, in the evening, I was sitting on my couch in front of the TV and it hit me, I have things that I want to do in this life before I die. So I decided that I needed to write them down. The trick for me was to come up with a list of a 100 things to do.  I have always wanted to come up with a list and now that I have started the task is hard, because I want to put things on there that I know are possible in this world to do.
As I have been thinking and writing down things to do, I have asked a few people what is on their list? As my friends have rattle of their lists things such as: riding elephants, swimming in all the oceans of the world, Climbing to the top of the half dome, and skydiving have all come up and it all sounds so exciting. Then as I look back at my list of things, I feel my list sounds boring, I am still working on it and revising it trying to make it fit what I have always wanted to do.
Once I have it done I will be sure to post it up here so you can see just how exciting my list is.
I came across a good quote, Wishing and shooting for the stars leads us to our destiny, sometimes we don't get to the star or the wish we wished for and in those times we get something much better.
I have kept this in mind as I have come up with my list.
(As soon as I have it done I will post, I promise)

I hope your day is going good and as always thanks for reading :)

 

Happy Labor Day to All of You!

Hi,
I am hoping you all had a great and your Labor Day was relaxing day. I had a fun weekend, doing homework :) I love school. Saturday I watch College Football one game after another, in fact I figured away out to watch 5 different games all at once (overload? I think so).
Then yesterday, I wasn't feeling to good and even today I am not feeling good at all. I have a headache and my throat hurts. I know you all wanted to know that :) But don't worry I have been pumping in the Vitamin C, hopefully I get over this quickly. It seems everyone up on Campus is getting sick and then my roommate has been sick and so I think I was bound to get sick.
I was having cabin fever :) so right now, I am sitting out on my porch staring into the gray sky, thinking how gray is a beautiful color because it makes the greens, greener and the browns, more brownie, the red tomato on the mighty tomato plant even looks more red and every color just pops with a grey backdrop.
As, I am sitting here I am under this beautiful gray sky I am wanting it to rain, I want it to just pour down. The reason I want it to rain, is so I can play in it and I love the rain. I prefer rain over snow any day.  I want to puddle jump and run around in it.
As always, Thanks so much for Reading!

A three day weekend...

Hi ya,
Today, is Friday and it is the beginning of a three day weekend. Here it is a Friday night and I am sitting at home writing on my blog.  I guess that is a plus to being single is having every Friday night open to do as I please. There are those moments though where I wish I had a boy but then I have to smile as I look at my stack of books calling my name to do homework. (I guess my boyfriend's name is Homework..hahaha)
I hope all of you had or are having a fun Friday night, with friends and family or work.
So I just took a break and check my online dating profile for E-mails and I have a few to share. Keep in mind these are what not to say to a girl, or anyone if you want them to respond.

Email subject line: Your not shy are you?
The message was: Your not shy are you?

Wow, is all I had to say.

The next one I got is just as good:
Subject line: You are so cute!
The message: Yes, I have been known to be forward like this. hehe It does make for some heart melting romantic surprises.. ;) You seem like a girl that I would really enjoy spending time with. :)


Okay, not at problem good email right. My problem is, he is 48 years old and I am in my mid-twenties. First, thought that hits me when I see a guy trying to connect with me that age is dude, you could date my mom... hahaha 
I just don't get it, why do the older men (38 yrs old and older) think it is okay to date someone thirteen, fourteen years younger. Maybe it is just me but I have an age limit of 8 years older and 3 years younger than me to date.  In talking to several of my friends I find they too, so at least I know, I am not the only one out there, thinking what is wrong with the world? hahaha


I hope all of you have a good weekend!

The feeling of Autumn...

Hi all,
Today, the air around me has the feel of autumn. It is 81 degrees right now and there is a gentle breeze, and thoughts of homemade apple pie, zucchini bread, Salsa and eating all the fresh vegetables that are coming out of people's garden's around here. Brings my mind great excitement.
One, sad thing about beginning of fall is summer is at its end and the long summer nights, and the hot weather is almost gone and its one season closer to snow. Wow, now I think I could cry. I have to focus what is good about the feel of autumn, mmm... Hot Apple Cider, and wearing long sleeves and not really needing a heavy winter coat. It also is the perfect temperature to be outside, leaves on the trees change colors.
I love the fall, because here in the US, it is the start of football season. I love football. Once, the games get going there is always one to watch and a team to brag about, or complain about. I love the feeling there is in the air before a game.
Today, I can feel that too. Tonight, the University of Utah's football team plays, Montana State as its opener to their season and to the PAC 12. GO UTES!

Nerd-A-Liscious

Hi,
I don't think I have mentioned this before but I am going to the school at the University of Utah and I am tempting to survive their math program, (which I hear gets even tougher) Yikes!
Today, As I was up on campus walking to class and talking to a few class mates about math problems. A really cute group of boys walked by us (maybe I should say, I was the only girl in the group) just as we were talking about what number was our favorite and why. I had just said my favorite number was 8.  One of the guys in the other group walking past us, smiled at me and said, "I don't know whither, this is a Nerd-alert or should it be Nerd-a-liscious." I smiled and said, "Maybe, a little of both." We all started to laugh and then continued, our way onto our class.
This guys comment to me, made me think, maybe I should be the one, that brings back pig-tails and glasses with tap in the middle and a pocket protector :) Because then it really would be  nerd-alert! hahaha!
Don't worry, I won't be sporting around a pocket protector or broken glasses fixed with tape. But, I could possibly pull off the pigtails :) I might just see how long I can fight the urge to put my hair up in piggy-tails. (Promise to readers, if I am horrible at fighting off the urge for piggy-tails, I will post a picture of myself in the piggy-tails)

Mr. and Mrs Stinky

Hi all,
Today, just before my math class, I was sitting out in the hallway by the door on a bench. I was doing some homework for one of my other classes. When all of the sudden the most stinkiest man, I have ever smelled came and sat down on the same bench (about 5 people could have fit between us) and he smelled like B.O. and it was so bad my eyes started to water and I threw up in my mouth and I almost passed out. (He stunk) I was going to move but the class in the room I was waiting for let out and I stood up to go into the room.
As, I made my way into the room, to my horror he comes in. It then struck me, I had been smelling really bad B.O. in that class, I now know the source of it.
Poor Mr. Stinky, goes and sits in the front of class and I sat 4 rows behind him and I could still smell him. Just as I thought it couldn't get worse it did, because Mrs. Stinky came and sat next to the guy. This girl also smelled.
There clothes were drenched in old sweat spots with greasy hair. (I am a little OCD and the whole time, I was thinking I need to take a shower, and I was hoping the smell wouldn't stick to me) Luckily, I had good smelling lotion, I put on that kept my air semi-smelling good.
Well, after class, I get out in the open air and breath in the fresh air, and then head to library and to my horror this guy is headed there as well. My thought ohh no, please no. I then saw a sprinkle on and I wanted to say you see that sprinkler, I think you should run through it over and over and over and over until you no longer smell like that.
In the library mr and mrs stinky from class met up with 4 other individuals that all looked and smelled the same way. I moved floors in the library (the smell was bad).
Now, I don't usually, like talking bad about others, but this guy was horrible and smelly. The moral of today is, for people to talk to you without passing out or throwing up, Take a shower and practice basic hygiene skills.

Happy Monday to Ya!

I have had a wonderful Monday, I woke up on time and then got behind and have been behind the rest of the day. I hope all of you had a good Weekend and fun things happened to you.
I am almost wanting to dedicate this blog to online dating, I have signed up for an online service thing and well, I have meet some really interesting people. The struggle I am getting right now is getting a decent man to email me or I email one and I get the lamest emails back.
Here is the latest example of this:
Subject Line: Lets drink some wine than say we didn't.... Er...
I open the Email to read it and it says: Lets drink some wine then say we didn't... Er...

I read it and was like, that was a very creative email, (can you feel my sarcasm?) I then thought is that how people now days actually try to start a conversation. (The poor guy probably wonders why he is single) Maybe someone should point out his E-mail.

Then I got a follow-up e-mail from the same guy, about 3 minutes later that said:
In the subject line: Hey, I was just kidding
Then I opened the email and to my Surprise the email said: Hey, I was just kidding :).

I guess the smiley face at the end of the sentence really makes a difference. Hahaha  
Maybe I will share more of these with the web, just to point out what not to write to a girl if you want her not to respond. hahaha

As always thanks for reading!

The day is almost over :)

Hi all,
I have had a little crazy day, for some reason I thought it was Wednesday until, a good friend of mine pointed out that it wasn't Wednesday it was Friday. Which made me excited for the weekend.
Tonight, I went to a 1940's party and I would have to say our style today is a lot like that era of time. I then came home and watched Football. I have to admit I am so excited that it is football season! I love football, it doesn't matter whither it is College or NFL I will watch it. Sometimes if it is a big game I will not go any where and stay home to watch it.
I have a few of my favorite teams, for the NFL. I like the Eagles, NY Jets, and the Packers. (Don't worry if they are not playing, I will still watch any game)
I am excited for next Saturday, when college games start.

Friends are Amazing

Hi,
Isn't it amazing how friends, can change a crappy day to a positive one. In my life, I have been blessed with friends that have been there for me and have helped me along the way. I have been blessed to have friends who have walked with me and have listened to me as I have gone through some tough times. As they have helped me through mine I have helped them through theres.
I sometimes take my friends for granite and don't tell them that I love them enough. I have been thinking a lot lately about how amazing my friends truly are.
I think sometimes in life I get caught up focusing on the little details that in the long run will not matter, and might seem a little selfish, (I have OCD and so being sidetracked is normal) but in reality we all suffer some form of selfishness.
I guess I just wanted to dedicate this post to all my friends out there, and they know who they are, who have been there for me and have been a support group for me. Love you guys.

As always thanks for reading.

The mighty tomato plant

I am sitting out on my porch working on homework and well I keep finding myself staring at my roommates tomato plant which looks more of a bush the plant is huge and has so many tomatoes growing on it. Amazing how much it grew over the summer, it was so small and now it is defiantly a happy bush. I kind of think it is my fault (I will now sound extremely weird) But I was told to get happy plants you have to talk to them and tell them how beautiful they are. I got this advice from a lady who has the most amazing flowers in the world. So I gave it a try with the tomato plant. See here it is:

There is also a pepper plant that grew tall, it was almost like the tomato plant and pepper plant where in a competition with which one could get taller faster and they are about the same size. The pepper plant finally is growing peppers which is good. Okay I think I am really good at procrastinating :) Or maybe my homework is just more boring to tell you about then the plants. Either way I hope you enjoy the picture. 

Thanks for Reading. 

Day Two

Have you ever had a morning where nothing goes your way? Sadly, that was my morning :) I got up on time for school and I even left for class a whole hour early. As I started making my way to the University of Utah Campus along 1300 East, there became so much traffic and so I took an alternative route up through sugar house and somehow ended up on foothill, and then I missed my turn to where I needed to be. So I went around the entire campus and then had to go up the steep hill and my car instead of going forwards like a good little car it would jump back which is odd for an automatic (at least that is what I was told) So I finally make it through the hellish traffic and get to the parking lot. (I know this seems play by play and well it is :) ) so then I get to class to find out that I didn't bring the right text book with me and then I go to the library after class to study and my computer wouldn't access the internet. (Took two computer techs at the Library counter) to finally get it all set up for me Yay!
Then after a few hours of studying I headed home and you guessed it, I missed the turn and I ended up in the U of U Hospital.  When I finally got home I know I was cranky (I get that way when I haven't eaten for a while) I tried to talk to a friend on the phone and it went all wrong and know that I have had some time to sit and think about my morning, I found a positive, I wasn't too impatient in fact I was almost okay with it all.
A thought hit me, just how many times in life have I gotten mad at my stupidity in learning the hard way?  Instead of getting mad about it I found I even could smile.

The first Post :)

Hi,
My name is Laci and I have had blogs in the past but I am was not the best at updating it but, lately I have had many changes happen in my life and I am wanting to achieve my goal at writing a blog post a day. I hope you enjoy!
Here is my first blog post for this blog, and I think it is fitting I share on of my favorite quotes from Albert Einstein "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."  
I am excited and I am sure you are to for this blog :)
