gobble gobble

Today, my boss is out of town. Well to be totally honest she has been out of town the last three days and I have been trying to keep myself occupied, but I have decided to take a little break and write a new post.

First I want to mention that I have no self control, especially when it comes to eating my lunch around lunch time. So, my lunches are not even that exciting, usually my lunch consists of nothing more than an Adam's peanut butter and honey sandwich with bread that has been in the refrigerator for weeks(I learned to keep bread in the fridge on my mission). I keep my sandwich in my drawer and every time I open the drawer, I become obsessed with the idea of eating my sandwich. So, I start with one small bite and the next thing I know, it's gone and the time hasn't even reached noon.

Another example of my self control is last night. I work a couple nights a month at j.crew until early hours in the morning re-arranging the store. Last night, I got into work at eight and the first thing I spotted was Cadbury Christmas eggs, how could my boss have know of my pure obsession with these little tiny, so delicious to the taste chocolate eggs. I told myself to just take one and the next thing I knew it was one in the morning and I was still eating, delightfully.

Being Thanksgiving and all I thought it would only be appropriate to make a cliche' blog post about what I am most thankful for. Call me cliche', I don't mind....

Here is my list.....
my family, dance, my friends, good books, memories, rainy days, sunny days, memory grove park, my job, my mission..jolita, aleksandra, jenna, maile, jake, andi, julija, nijole, jennifer, kristina, kristina, giedre, aurika, dovile, ginvile, violeta, natasha, the wattersons...my dad and his love for the utes, my grandmas, food, intelligence, light, my savior Jesus Christ, Heavenly Father, fictional characters..jack elliot, geric, george emerson, edward, lloyd dobbler..good music, the mountains, snow ski days, water-ski days, jacob lake, sunsets, pure air, long bike rides, long drives with great conversations, silence, laughter, joy, the BoM, lithuania, 4th of july, the founding fathers, my bed, old friends, the spirit, confirmation, chase, the utes, my mom and her silly side...the list is endless...Happy Thanksgiving!

loves,

I also have no self-control. And those Cadbury Creme Eggs are my favorite! I had to stop eating chocolate in June because I seriously can never stop if it's there, and if it's not there, I go shopping. You love Lithuania? I was just in Latvia and met the loveliest Lithuanian girl, Lina Blume. Do you know her? She's Mormon. I'm not sure what her maiden name is . . .
