Insomnia

The insomnia is back. Lovely. I think part of it is because it is WAY TOO FREAKING HOT. I mean, Vegas was hotter, but there was air conditioning everywhere. We don't have air conditioning because it's only useful for 1 month of the year. Also I slept in really late this morning, which was a bad idea. My brain is also pretty active. What's on my mind tonight:

1) Internship tomorrow morning. I love that internship, but after a week of doing whatever I want, it's gonna be hard to go back.

2) My health challenge! The views are going down per week and I'm not quite sure how to change that. This week should be more exciting though :) Firstly, because I lost three pounds in Vegas! And secondly because the exercise challenge is going to be to dance every day until you sweat.

3) Mom told me that I was being a stalker, but I want to add Benny on youtube. I don't think I'm being a stalker, I don't want to creep, I just want to be friendly. I want him to know that he (and the rest of the boys) made my entire trip. And I think it's great how wonderful they make people feel. I don't think that's weird. Erin said to go for it since he's so attractive ;) haha. And honestly, I know that I don't have a shot. But why not at least send him a message? He'll either be friendly back to me and it'll be TOTALLY worth it, or he won't answer, and I'll never see him again anyways so it won't matter if he thinks I'm a creeper. Ha.

Vegas Baby!

So I got back from Vegas yesterday and I had an excellent time. It was an absolutely perfect trip. We spent the first day walking the strip, shopping a little and then eating a light dinner at Gilley's in Treasure Island. The next night was slightly frustrating, as the girls decided they did not want to go clubbing. We instead ate dinner and drank at a bar, which was fun! But Selena and I wanted a bit more adventure so we went to the Studio 54 club for a while, and then tried to find another club, without luck. Next night was Thunder from Down Under! I was excited, but also a little sketched out because I wasn't at all sure what to expect. Hanna was even worse. Kelly didn't seem too excited either, and Kassi could go either way. So we were with a pretty mild group. But the show was AWESOME. The boys were so attractive and such great dancers. It's crazy how insane women go over these boys. I mean all they had to do was shake your hand and ask how you were doing in this gorgeous Australian accent and every girl swooned. My personal favorite was the host, Benny. I've always had a thing for dimples and he's got these adorable dimples and a great smile, AND he was funny. After the show Selena asked him to give me a hug and it was pretty much the greatest hug ever. He said, while hugging me, "tell me you'll never leave me," and I basically squealed, "I'll never leave you!" I was literally giddy afterwards. I've decided that we're destined to be together. I'm going to marry him ;) His picture is in the post below since I can't seem to figure out how to format 2 pictures in one post. Afterwards we went back to Studio 54 and had a great time. Hanna and Kassi were awesome for being in their first club.

The girls left on Thursday, but since I booked the wrong flight I didn't leave til Friday. Luckily Mr. Alex Nelson saved the day by arriving in Vegas on Thursday with his friends. So I hung out with them that night and had SO much fun. I went to the Rio with them and their room was so nice! Then the club we went to (Voodoo) was on the 51st floor and on the roof. So we could look over the entire strip. It was so fantastic. His friends were so nice to me and a couple of the boys were really good dancers :) I did feel horribly hung over though the next day. Remind me to never mix alcohols again. I had rum, vodka and gin all in the same night. Dumb, dumb idea. The next day I went to Urban Outfitters for some shopping therapy and then headed home. Perfect trip :)

Health Challenge 2

Mike?

I found this at College Humor and I thought it was really funny :)

Health Challenge

I've decided to start making videos to help motivate myself and others to become healthy and active in the way they live their lives. Here's my first video, let me know what you think!

Criminal Minds

I just watched the saddest episode of pretty much any TV show ever. *SPOILER* It was the episode of Criminal Minds where Hotch's family gets killed by the Reaper. If you watch the show at all, then you know Hotch and how serious he is. And even though his life is the job, he lives for his family. The Reaper tricked Haley into meeting him at the house and then let her call Hotch. She got to say goodbye to him and then the Reaper shot her while they were on the phone. While we don't see Hotch happy very often, we don't see him sad either. I cried so hard watching how much pain Hotch was going through. The only light was that Hotch's son Jack survived and Hotch ended up killing the Reaper. But I really don't think I've ever cried while watching a TV show before. This one had me crying like a baby. Poor Hotch :(

In other news, my internship is going great. Dan is an awesome teacher and all the people that work there are great. Colin taught me today how to apply ice and stim, so now I can ALMOST do that on my own. And I've been trying to ask more questions, which means I'm learning more too. Work is good. Today was my first day off in 10 days. I'm exhausted. But I also love it. I forget how much I really love my summer job at HMAC until I'm there. But it really does make me happier than a lot of things. I'm trying to get a secondary internship at my grandparents retirement home and I'm looking into PT application prep. I've decided I want to go to Boston University. I think it looks SO cool. But of course I have no idea whether I'll get in or not. I'll have to apply next fall though because they start school in May and I won't have even graduated by then. This weekend I'm going to Ellensburg for Alan's 21st birthday so I'm super excited about that. I'll let you know how it goes :)

Update

So this is going to end up being a really long post because I haven't posted anything in like... 2 weeks and SO much has happened since then. Firstly, the reason why I'm choosing to write this post now is because I can't fall asleep. I was home all day today and pretty much just watched crime shows all day long. So I think I watched one too many and now I'm a little freaked out. Everyone else is asleep so it's just me in the dark house :/

Secondly, the reason why I was home all day today was because I celebrated my 21st birthday last night! It was absolutely perfect. Meagan came from Spokane to visit me and we spent the first part of the day at the mall. We had lunch, went to see Eclipse and then found outfits to wear for the night. Then my dad drove us to the Mariner's game, and it was a good game! We ended up losing in the 9th (grrrrr) but we missed that part so we could make it to the bars on time. We kind of got lost but once we got there we had a lot of fun :) It was me, Meagan, Dana, Tasso, Ian, Dale, Maggie, Trevor, Mark and Phil and everyone got along really well. I had a lot to drink but I didn't get sick. Then dad came to pick us up and he took us to 13 coins for food. He's pretty much the greatest dad on the planet.

Then there was HAWAII. It was so awesome. Oahu was really cool. There was lots of good shopping and we went to Hanauma Bay (which was gorgeous) and walked down to the beach and saw the Arizona Memorial. And there were SO many cute boys. Then after 3 days we met up with the rest of the Chagodfords on Maui. Maui was great, we did lots of snorkeling. We saw turtles! Like lots of turtles. We went scuba diving where we saw more turtles and a GIANT EEL. Just like from the Little Mermaid. I learned to surf with the Chandlers and we went on a hike to Iao Valley. For my actual 21st birthday we had a luau! It was really cool. There was so much good food! And they taught us to hula and we had a free bar. All in all it was a fabulous trip. I've decided that my new favorite word is kuuipo. It means sweetheart in Hawaiian and they have it on a lot of jewelry. I have a ring now that has kuuipo on it. :)
