Good Idea/ Bad Idea: A week's worth of experiences

*Dinner Group starting again! (I didn't realize how spoiled I'd gotten till I had a whole week where I had to do the cooking!)

*Going to the Springville Museum of Art. I had no idea. No idea how great it was. I felt like I was not in Springville, Utah, but in some big city. The art was beautiful, the ambiance was peaceful, at the risk of sounding cheesy, it was a renewing experience. I'll be going back. And... it's FREE! 

*Getting a nativity at 50% off! (and it's a cute one, even if I'll have to add the Holy Family next year). It's still up in my apartment (till the chreche comes in the mail) along with all our other decorations.

*Getting up (at 6:30am)and exercising 2 days this week, and one day after school. I guess it's true what Elle woods says; "exercise gives you endorphins, endorphins make you happy." Also, it makes me go to bed early (think 10:00ish) and kinda makes me feel like I'm on the mission again. 

*Taking a Cooking class; it's awesome! My group rocked out some gingersnaps yesterday, and I was the most popular girl in my next class (when I shared the leftovers.)

*Having super great warm socks when you live in Utah in the winter. My feet are mostly chronically cold, except I have this one pair of socks, they're Columbia brand socks for snow sports (I think.) I got them on clearance because they were tall to wear with my boots, and they are Ah-Mazing! 

*The Tangled soundtrack! Oh my goodness! It's amazing! just see for yourself, I listen to this at least once a day. It's beautiful!

Ok, onto: 

* Ticking off Taylor Swift. She will write a song about you and put your name in it. Seriously, I would avoid making her mad/ breaking her heart. (See her new album a song called 'Dear John' dedicated to John Mayer)

*Living in Utah. Ok, this isn't an all bad idea... it just is so cold! My little 25 year old car is not super happy about the current temperatures, though she did start this morning pretty easily, but I think it's three times as warm today as it has been recently. (which means it's 22* instead of 7*-- for a weather wimp like me that is just SICK!)

*Living in Utah in the winter, pt 2. My whole life I've had dry skin, but holy cow-- I put lotion on multiple times a DAY and I am just dry and itchy. Dry and itchy all the time.

* Taking medicine without eating. BAD IDEA-- you'd think I would have learned this one by now... but no. It's a very bad idea.
