Love Hate Relationships With My Phone

This past week was a little rough from work. I thought i might have to kill someone or something by the end of the week. Let me just share with you a little why. On Sunday i spent an hour and half on the phone trying to explain why I couldn't make a doctors appointment right at the moment one it being 8:30 at night and two a Sunday night. On top of that already receiving about 10 calls in an 8 hr period. Monday I had 7 phone calls and about 10 texts by 10 am and they continued during the day and night. Tuesday I had a 45 min conversation about how i do love my consumers i just need a personal life that was after multiple phone calls and texts. Wed when i got out of class from 10 am to 3:30 I had five missed calls and 14 texts waiting for me to respond. Thursday actually was not to bad because my phone died and it wouldn't charge until about 1 pm then i had a hand full of text and a few phone calls. Then came for the fun i had a fun chat with my consumers about emergencies and texting and phone calls. How they need to stop!!! So i then started not answer my phone until 7 pm then it was off to a 45 min phone call. Friday consisted of an hr phone call about a missing wallet and someone being upset because i didn't have a solution of what to do about it at the time. Lets just say it made for a long week! This is my typical week of phone calls and text and these ones are only from work. I have decided i loath my phone! Every time it rings i pray or hope its not work or someone bugging me about work. So for those of you who feel like i never talk to you on the phone anymore its because i have gotten sick of it. I am to the breaking point! Maybe i should just accidentally run it over or put it on top of my car and forget about it. Maybe flush is down the toilet. So if i don't answer i have a good reason.Yet on  the other hand i enjoy spending time talking to family and friends on my phone. listening to music and keeping up on the latest info. The only problem i see now is other people have started to make comments about how often i am on the phone or how often it goes off. so i guess that's a true sign that something needs to be done

IWA Are you a Mormon?

OK So the past few weeks at IWA we have been talking about goals and talents. One night we made a bucket list which I already had made but i added to it. Last night we talked about talents and I found myself thinking a lot about it for the rest of the night. I was thinking how at times we often don't recognize the talents that we are given or even know the things we do on a daily basis is a talent. We talked about how weeping is a talent and as I thought about this being a talent it made me think about having empathy or understanding for others and really feeling what they are feeling. the girl who shared this as a talent I had no idea was not a cry er and it made me think of an experience with her. We both wept together about a situation in life. After hearing her talk it made me even more appreciate the talk I had with her that night and knowing she actually fully felt the pain I was feeling with me. Then i started to think am I really sharing my talents with others am I living my life the way the lord would want me to live? I guess not I guess that I have a greater calling here on earth and I am not living it to its fullest. Yes no one is perfect but I decided i need to step out of my comfort zone and help those around me. I am not going to sit here and list each on of my talents off or things that can become my talents but I feel that sharing this little bit of info from last night might be a way to help others think about their talents and the blessings that the Lord gives us everyday. So Erin you know who you are this is my tribute to you right now you are Erin you like the sun and you are a Mormon. I am Aimee I like to Laugh and I'm A MORMON.

A Fresh Start

Well this year has started and before we know it 2011 will be gone as fast as it came. I have thought a lot about what i want out of 2011 First off i want no more deaths in the family two in one year was hard enough. I know i don't get a say that's all in the Lords hands but I can wish and pray right. This year i hope to get my tonsils out and have less sickness then last year, i have not started this year out to well since i have been sick since December 26. I would like to find a fun house to live in with my roommates so we can have a dog ( I know one more thing to take care of is all i need). I want to go on a few road trips with friends while i am still single and can run free. I want to get good grades and be successful in school. I want to be better at my job I now have 7 clients instead of 4 this year. I want to spend more time with my family. I want to learn to play the piano and i actually found a teacher now its just making the time to have lessons. I want to be a little more organized. I want to make more time for friends and meeting new people. I let last year go by way to fast I don't regret it at all but i do want to enjoy it a little more. I want to make a difference in other peoples lives one small step at a time. I want to visit all of the temples in Utah. I want to be a better friend and spend more time listening then talking. I want to be the person that people feel like they can come to at anytime or any place and know i will be there for them. I want to treat every moment as if it were my last and be happy about it!
