Happy FAT Tuesday!

Today was a day of eating candy, drinking soda, and get a few last swear words out.  Those are the three things that I am giving up for the next forty days.  Peculiar, you say, because Mormons usually don't give up things for Lent.  But this Mormon girl still honors her Catholic roots!  

I made some fabulous pizza.  Wish you could have been here to have some.  I am very excited to have some pizza for lunch the next few days at school.  It will be scrumptious. 

I voted today.  Funny thing happened in Provo today with the whole voting experience.  Many people had to wait about two hours in order to vote.  I had an hour and a half wait.  For some weird reason, about 100 voting precincts were combined into 60.  This caused for major long lines.  The people I felt the worst for were a couple who had waited in line for the hour and a half only to find out they were at the wrong polling place.  It was patience trying, that is for sure.  But overall, it was worth it!  I had to keep telling myself that in some countries women can still not vote and even in some places nobody gets to vote.  I also had to keep looking behind myself in line and remind myself it could be worse!

I am now addicted to the video game, Dance Dance Revolution.  Moo left her Playstation here for me to play with a few games including DDR.  I have been using this game for my workouts the past two nights.  It is quite entertaining.  I am also being reminded of how I am very clumsy.  Some of the songs are just too complicated for my feet.  It is a good mix up for my workouts though.  I always get bored with the same thing in the winter.  Good times!

Well, I am up much to late again and should get myself to bed.  Enjoy the pictures of me being clumsy.  I was not trying to be anonymous; it is just hard to take a picture of yourself playing a video game. :)
