2 biggest pet peeves

1) lateness. I hate it when people are late, it so drives me up the wall. all i can think of while i'm waiting for the person/people is why could they have not been on time like me. I am so punctual even when i try to be late i'm early.

2) when i (or possibly someone else) will cover a spider with a cup and then no one will get rid of it. i hate seeing it day after day. why do you think i covered it in the first place?

update

1) finally went to the doctor. she said i just had a bad cold but since i was pushing three weeks she put me on antibiotics. today was my last day on the meds and i'm still not 100% but i am much better. i'm hoping i'll be better in time for camping.

2)sent back the boots that were too small for my calves. i had ever intention of buying the "easy rider" boots i posted earlier but they aren't expected to ship until dec. so i've been looking elsewhere but haven't found any that are as desirable.

3)bought some new running shoes today. went to the running store in FTH and they had me run on the treadmill and then we watched it play back slow to determine which shoes i needed. and no they weren't $140, but they were still $100. boo.

4)fall break this week! no school! hooray! just two days of work. one day off, that i intend to spend at nordy's. and then from thurs-sun camping in escalante.

sick

i think i've been sick going on two weeks now and i'm so totally done with being sick! i hate being the sniffly nose, coughing kid in class, and i hate having to go to work when i'm sick. yes, i have used sick days but i can't use all of them now! why won't this go away? and right before fall break! what if it doesn't go away by fall break and i can't go camping? ugh.

probably the most worst thing is that today when i was bored on desk i was looking at health magazine online. they had a symptoms bar where you enter your symptom and it tells you what you could have. so of course i did it. i could only enter one symptom so i chose cough. it came up with a lot of scary possibilities. and the organization of the list was also scary. every possible disease showed up before the common cold. all i can think about now, is "if this doesn't go away soon i could really be sick." as i was looking through the symptoms of each disease the one most resembling my illness is TB. i didn't make it to the common cold, but there are a lot of symptoms of TB that sound really familiar. coughing, and coughing up grossness (i hasn't become blood yet, thank goodness) and pain, and tiredness. although i guess a lot of colds are like that. but i am getting a little paranoid.

book update

okay, last night i finally finished "My Antonia". It took me longer because i had to take a break and read a different book that i simply could not put down, i read most of it one sunday afternoon, but i'll get to that book later. My Antonia was a great novel, i think the real reason i enjoyed it is because it was a really good look into a pioneers life (not momo. pioneer) but it was really interesting. I think the way you can tell an author is good is if you truly care for the characters and i really felt for them in this book. they had real trials, different than what we face today. I have to say i wasn't absolutely completely satisfied with the ending but i'm still very glad i read it.

"The Hunger Games" is probably one of the best books i've read this year. I was so glued to it i think i sat and read it for 3 straight hours one sunday. It was so unbelievably good! if you don't know anything about it i'll give you a quick, very brief summary. It takes place far in the future and basically every kid, once they turn 12 and going up until they are 18 have to enter their name in a drawing for something called the hunger games. the hunger games take place annually and a boy and girl from each district have to participate. Basically they have to fight each other to the death. it sounds absolutely barbaric and the idea is, but man is it a good book. i really can't wait for my turn to read the second one!

please tell me it's okay to buy these.

i think they are super chic. and yes i know i just barely bought those other boots but guess what? my calves wouldn't allow me to wear them. yes, my legs are too fat for those zip ups. but i have faith in these. if only they weren't so dang expensive
