update

well, my quest turned out mostly successful. the weekend of martin luther king's b-day was a great one in which i did a little bit of everything. i studied for my upcoming comp. exam in february (aaaagh! it's coming up very soon!). i hung out with my sister, saw a friend perform at sugarhouse coffee, and went to game night at a friend's house. i then began scrapbooking for like, the first time in over a year. you see, my mother-in-law gives me scrapbook supplies for my birthday and christmas gifts every year. i love that. especially when i make the time to actually use them! since i had piled up an abundance of supplies and really want/need to get some books finished i decided to organize last year's photos and start working. i finished the whole book in one week! i was super motivated and now i'm accomplished. it's a great feeling. now, on to tackle the stacks of photos from other years. i swear, one day, i will be totally and completely caught up on scrapbooks.

i've kept up a little more balance since that weekend. i have been trying to do something i enjoy for part of each day. i also have been trying to maintain a sleep schedule. which as you can see by the time that this was posted i deviated from today and now, i am finding myself an insomniac.

i still take on too many things and am finding myself a bit overwhelmed at times, but i like being able to set time aside for all things necessary in my life. rather than freaking out about a to-do list and not getting anything done.

speaking of fun and exciting events: i went to a sundance film this past weekend. it was a bit strange and a bit funny but overall enjoyable. i was disappointed that i did not see any celebrities, which was my main reason for going. and i was even more disappointed by the fact that my sister went to park city the next day to hang out and saw pauly shore (one of my all-time favs!!) and tommy lee jones. she didn't even take a picture for me. jerk! krista, you know i'm kidding...mostly:) anyways, i did meet a celebrity this past weekend so i'm kinda okay with it. brandon and i went with some friends to wiseguys comedy club to see harland williams. he's in a bunch of movies like rocketman, sorority boys, and superstar, etc. he was freakin' hilarious. i laughed soooo hard i got a headache. after the show he did a meet and greet so i got a photo with him that i would love to share but for some reason i am having trouble downloading it from my phone onto the computer...trust me though, i did meet him.

an interesting tidbit about me: i freeze up when i meet celebrities. it's like i don't even know what to say or even my own name. after i left the comedy club all i could think about were awesome things i could have said to him that would make him like me so much that we become besties and i like fly to his house in LA or whereever for great and fabulous parties. it was like this another time when i was working at k-mart and a couple of members from social distortion came into the store. i love their music and really wanted a pic or autograph but i was too damn nervous to ask for one. instead i just like stalked them around the store. it's k though cuz they were sooo drunk i'd be surprised if they knew which way was up. but, i'm just like why couldn't i have been brilliant and hilarious and made an impression on them so they would have taken me back to their tour bus and i could have totally become a groupie???

this post has gotten pretty long. i'm surprised. and now i'm going to try to go back to sleep...
