So, I have OF COURSE been SO busy lately! I'm drowning in papers and facts about the U.S. Government trying to prepare for finals. Whoever invented Finals Week SUCKS! I've barely had time to sleep the past few weeks. So, naturally, I haven't been updating my blog.
I had no idea my little brother read my blog. In fact, it's a little scary that he does...he knows all my deep dark secrets!! But, he's a great kid and I have to admit I was quite flattered when I got the notification of an anonymous comment on my blog, via Email.
"Candace, you need to do some updating on your blog. OK? hehe. You make me laugh. Make sure, that no matter what you have to do in the day, with college, work or any sort of stressor, remember to do one thing a day that makes you happy. And pray. I love you so much! Who knows when you'll get this, because you never get on your cool little blog. haha. Love you sis!
~Alex :)"
Talk about a cool kid, right? Figures that I'd get a reminder not to let stress COMPLETELY TAKE OVER MY LIFE, from my kid brother.
He's right. No matter what's going on, I need to be on here! So once again, I'm going to try and get my sexy ass in gear and blog!

Yay Me
All I have to say today is, I'm proud of myself! I did exactly what I wanted to yesterday...I blogged and then I ACTUALLY PLAYED AROUND WITH PHOTOSHOP!!
It was really good to get my mind off of everything and just focus on doing something to make ME happy.

Busier.
I don't know how I always manage to neglect the things that make me happy. I have been so caught up in the never-ending frenzied world of full time college, that I haven't posted in weeks. I haven't even used the Photoshop program that I was SO EXCITED TO GET from Terri. That's like sacrelig. Seriously.
I'm going through a lot right now. But things will get better, they always do. I'm just once again, going to try and make more of an effort to get my butt on here and do what I love.

Busy
This week has been full of excitement...so much that I haven't had the time to post.
The first week of school is always really busy, and being sick made it that much busier. But, as I said in my previous post, my Dad took care of that. Now all I've got is this nasty cough.
But anyway, I was super busy all week.
I got my Work Study job at the Utah Museum if Fine Arts, which is going to be so awesome! And on Friday I got my brand new MACBOOK PRO!!!
I have been going crazy. I can't access the internet on it at home until tomorrow so, I had to wait until we came down to Brent's. His sister has a Mac and she helped me get everything all set up and ready to go :) So I've been having a blast. I can't wait to take this baby to campus!

Miracle Dad
So I think I may be the offspring of a miracle man.
Which makes me something like a miracle.
Anyway, my Dad is a doctor. He practices both conventional and alternative medicine and He's amazing at what he does. Last night he came over and gave me these essential oils to use; one I had to put on my tongue, one to rub on my neck and face, one to inhale, and one to take with water. They taste awful, but they work! I was seriously, practically on my death bed last night and after taking the oils, I woke up this morning doing much better. I still feel pretty shitty, but at least I can breathe and taste the food I'm eating. Not to mention, I no longer sound like a cartoon character. So I'm quite pleased and impressed. I've NEVER had something work so quickly. Especially with this bad of an infection.
So, with any luck, I'll be completely better by this weekend...which I really REALLY need. It's my ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY (!!!) a week from tomorrow....I've got to get er...ready. ;)

Snot Nose. Yes, I do realize exactly what that statement does for my sex appeal. Bite me.
"Mom, quit making fun of me! I can't help how I sound!"
"You just sound SO STUPID!"
"Gee thanks. I'm MISERABLE. I've gone through AN ENTIRE ROLL OF TOILET PAPER in twelve hours. My nose is rubbed completely raw! I don't understand how I can produce THAT MUCH SNOT."
"Well, it's your body fighting the infection."
"Well, I wish Snot would hurry up and win so It could go away."
"You just sound SO STUPID!"

Shit Happens
For some reason, completely unknown to me, something ALWAYS happens right when I get back up blogging. This time it was Verizon.
There were complications with our bill for whatever reason and as a result, our service was cut. No phones and no Internet. FOR FIVE DAYS. After several calls to them they finally figured out what was wrong and credited our account close to four hundred dollars and we were reconnected.
This was around last Thursday.
So why haven't I been writing? I've had Internet for about four days after all.
Well, I was preparing and making absolutely sure I had everything ready for school to start yesterday.
I also happened to get sick.
Very sick in fact. Miserably, sick. Ready to cut my nose right off my face just so I can breathe again, sick. I sound like a bad version of a cross between Elmer Fudd and Patrick Star from Spongebob. And it's the FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL. And my first full time semester. And I'm having to try and COMPLETELY REARRANGE MY ENTIRE SCHEDULE WHICH IS HARD ENOUGH TO BUILD IN THE FIRST PLACE LET ALONE DURING THE CHAOS OF THE FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL.
God apparently, has a very dry sense of humor.

Don't Feed the Bear
So, I think I may know why I've been having such bad anxiety.
I figured part of it was probably because Brent is out hunting and I worry about him even when he's just driving to work. To be honest, I worry about anyone who's driving anywhere. Which really isn't as over paranoid as that might sound. That's just what happens when you've been in as many car accidents as I have. Lying strapped down to a back board wearing a neck brace will do that to you. But back to the point of this post.
Brent called me this morning when he found a spot out there that had service. I asked him if he'd gotten his buck this morning while he was out hunting. He hadn't gone out because he'd been up all night chasing a bear out of their campsite. A BEAR. I almost passed out when he told me.
My baby, the absolute love of my life had been in danger. Well, as he tells it, he would have been fine because he sleeps in the bed of his truck, but he couldn't sleep because his dad and nephews were in tents. So he actually didn't see the bear which I guess made me feel a little better. But not much. The bear came through twice. Which means it could very well come again tonight. Which really doesn't do much to ease my anxiety. Though it does shed some light on why I might be having it. At least I know I'm not crazy.
I asked him if he had ever had that happen before while he was out hunting.
"Me personally? No."
"Great. So the one time you go hunting and I'm really really worried about you and riddled with anxiety, a freakin bear comes through your camp."
Some would find the irony of that humorous. I'm not really feeling the urge to laugh.
