Writers Worksop – The World As I See It

Spring In Utah

March 28, 2013

Lets just say that spring in Utah totally sucks ass. The pictures I am going to post were taken on a few different days so that I could show you just what the weather in Utah is like in the spring. The following two pictures were taken on Friday during my lunch.

I shouldn’t have been shocked that it was snowing because that is pretty much how spring in Utah goes. It will go from freezing to boiling over night. The next picture was taken on Saturday. I meant to take a picture first this when the snow was still on the ground but I didn’t get around to it until the snow had started to melt. We had about 8 inches or so on our driveway when I woke up.

So basically spring in Utah is crazy and you never really know what you are going to get. I hate spring and fall because I feel like I have to change clothes every 2 hours because the weather and temperature changes so much. It has been raining and cold this week but it is better than snow so I will take it.

What is spring like where you live?

5 Random Facts About Me

January 31, 2013

This week for the writers workshop I am going to give everyone 5 random facts about me & my family.

I was raised by my grandparents from about the age of 8 on.
I found my mom after I had my daughter and she was at my wedding but since that day I haven’t had contact with her.
I was 22 when I first drank alcohol. I am still not a big drinker in fact I don’t even remember how long it has been since I drank.
I have never smoked.
I have always been super shy and I talking on the phone.

Those are 5 random things that I don’t think people know about me. Of course there are many more things that I could have listed but I didn’t really want to create drama or anything like that. I am not sure who reads my blog so I am not comfortable being 100% honest with everyone right now.

What is one random fact about you?

Is there anything you would like to see on my blog or any topic you would like me to write about?

Case Of Nerves

March 14, 2012

This past week for the Writers Workshop I was going to write about #2 which was A case of the nerves! When was the last time you had them and how did you get through it? I didn’t get a chance to finish the post and get it up because I had so much to do at work since I was going to be off Friday and I had to get everything ready for the temp person. I still really wanted to write a post about it so I figured that I would write it and post it now.

I chose this one because I have had major issues with nerves the past couple of weeks. At the end of February I chipped a tooth while I was eating so I had to find a dentist and also figure out how I am going to pay to get it fixed since I don’t have dental insurance. When I was younger I had to have 2 sets of braces and the 2nd set was super painful. Ever since then I have always had major issues when it came to going to the dentist. Since I had chipped my tooth I had to go I couldn’t put it off any longer. As I was calling around to find a dentist I literally wanted to have a panic attack because the thought of going to a dentist made me so nervous.

I finally did find a dentist and the first 2 times I saw him I was super nervous and anxious but now that I have seen him twice I don’t have the same problem. I have to go back in may to have more work done but I don’t get nervous at all thinking about it. When I get nervous I always just force myself to do whatever makes me nervous because I know that it will all pass with time. I have learned to just talk myself through the situation because as I have gotten older I have had more issues with nerves and I think that is something that the MS has caused. I know that I can talk myself through situations and then after time they aren’t as scary and don’t make me nervous like they did in the beginning.
