I don't have much to say about today, except for the fact that I SAW THE HUNGER GAMES MOVIE FINALLY. By myself. Yep. I went to a movie by myself. I liked the movie. For the most part it stuck to the book. But it could have been way shorter. They made some parts way too drawn out. It kind of annoyed me. Also, it was food on a stick day in the Rialto.

Finally caught up! (Sorry for the lack of blogging until now.)

I intended to work out this morning. Instead, I finished homework. After class I was productive! I did some homework and FINALLY unpacked all my stuff from coming back after spring break. I rearranged my clothes to fit all my shorts and summer-y clothes in. One can actually sit down in my room now. :) I worked out (for the first time in 2 weeks-oofta!). It felt really good to workout again! I should not have taken 2 weeks off....I also realized that my arm is still pretty weak, even though the bruise is almost completely gone. (not that it wasn't weak before-ha.) During my workout, I started the 3RD HUNGER GAMES BOOK. I'm so excited. I'm going to bed early tonight so I can read for a while. :)

I had supper with Katlyne, Morgan, Jen, and Tiffany, and then headed to Hudson for choir practice. I got it all worked out so I can be home (well, in Alta) for Connor's 1st birthday party. Hooray. :)

What's awesome? The fact that I actually understood what we did in math class this morning. HOORAH!
What else is awesome? The fact that I finished the 2nd Hunger Games book. HOORAH!
What's not awesome? Katlyne invited me to hang out with her and Skippy tonight. I said sure! I didn't think it could be that harmless. WRONG. He took us to the woods. (Mind you, this is 8:15 at night.) FIRST: I hate nature. SECOND: I'm scared of the dark. Sounds like a solid idea, right? Ha. He wanted to show us this wrecked train in the middle of the woods. Granted, it was pretty cool once we got there. And it was a beautiful night. BUT: I did not have previous knowledge of this adventure, so I was wearing flip flops. I now have a blister BETWEEN my toes. Also, Skippy got lost on the way back to the car. We walked around in circles for a while. Thank goodness we finally made it back, or I might have had a mental breakdown.

SKIPPY! 

Spring Break!

I'm mashing this all into one post-I won't go into much detail. On the Sunday we flew out, we drove to Omaha and had lunch with Shelby & JD. Shelby so generously lent me the last 2 Hunger Games books. YES. I think you can figure out what I did all week... :) We had a peaceful direct flight to Phoenix and the lovely Josiah was there to greet us when we arrived. We grabbed some grub and headed to his place. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday were filled with shopping (yay), eating, reading, and sitting by the pool in the sun. It was, well, AWESOME. It was so relaxing and fun. Such a great week with Zac. Friday we got up and climbed North Mountain. Yep, you read that right. I climbed a mountain. It gave me a splendid insight on how out of shape I am. Yikes. We headed to the airport. The journey home was not as short. We had about an hour layover in Denver and flew back in to Omaha around 12:30am. We(Zac) drove all the way back home. Here's some pics from the week. Zac HATES getting his picture taken...

These were taken on Tuesday night when we went
to Rock Bottom for supper. YUM!

This was at Mellow Mushroom on Wednesday night. John (left) is who Josiah lives with in Phoenix.

Thursday night we went downtown Phoenix. We ate some delicious pizza and fantastic crêpes.

 The view from the top of North Mountain. So beautiful! (even though I'm not usually a fan of nature)

And at the top we saw chipmunks. They were not afraid of us. They were so cute!! 

And that was my Spring Break in Phoenix. :)

Crack.

Lindsay was right. The Hunger Games is like crack. If I didn't care about being too tired to function, I would've stayed up to finish it last night. But, alas, I knew I had to work today so I limited myself. But it really is like crack. Everyone should read it.
