UGH!!!
It's finals time and I HATE it! Two finals this week & 3 next then I'm finished with the semester. (Still no grad school updates as yet.) The time off can't get her fast enough. Maybe then I can do a bit more with this poor, neglected blog. Thanks to all of you who keep yours regularly updated, it's fun to catch up with all of you. Gotta run for now but wanted to put a little post that I'm still alive & kickin' just busier than should be legally allowed!

Quick update
I need to head off to class but here's an update or two:
1. No details or info on the store robbery. I don't know if suspects have been found or what. It's not been reported in the news but no one was hurt or in the store at the time which could be why.
2. Still nothing exciting to report on the grad school apps.
3. So glad Spring seems to be here to stay.
4. Can't wait for the semester to come to an end.
Well, off to class I go....

What I did on my Spring Break
Picked up some extra hours at work, played a bit with friends and family, responded to some long overdue emails, attended Enrichment Night homework-guilt free, went outside for walks, called 911 to report a robbery....
My landlord knocked on my door this morning and mentioned that the store downstairs was robbed early this morning. He asked if I’d heard anything and I said that I didn’t. Not really that big of a deal, right…wrong!
Tonight I was in my living room studying and heard some loud banging or thumping below me and then an alarm went off. I gave it a minute or two then went down to see if I could find the car whose alarm was going off. As I looked into the store’s front windows I saw that the door was open a little and didn’t see any cars with their lights flashing so I went back upstairs to my apartment and called 911. I gave them what info I had and they called it in as a robbery in progress.
After about 30 minutes, I looked out my window and saw a police car in the parking lot. Feeling safer now, I headed back downstairs to see if she’d been robbed again. Sure enough, she had! The owner is bothered and upset, understandable so, but luckily no one was hurt. She did lose about $400 cash and about $6000 in merchandise in both robberies. Not sure if the police have any leads or not, didn’t really think to ask.
Now every little sound downstairs makes me wonder if I need to call 911 again. She doesn’t have a lock on her door anymore, they broke it again, and is hoping to get someone to stay the night to guard the place. It’s just so unnerving, the second robbery happened right around 9:00 pm. It’s a Friday night, if I didn’t have two tests next week, I might have been leaving my apartment to head out for the evening or run an errand right as things were happening. I’m not against excitement but this is going a bit too far.
Whoever is behind this is pretty gutsy. ALL the lights were on the store and she has big picture windows facing a busy street. Anyone driving by would have surely seen something. Not to mention hitting the same store twice in less than 24 hours. Thankfully, the cars are all untouched. I sure hope they get this figured out and it comes to an end. It makes me nervous to leave during the evening without some type of escort and I don’t like not feeling safe in my own home and neighborhood.

Spring in Utah
Well, it must be spring in Utah, (one of the 3 days we get every year anyway). It was a gorgeous day in the 60's yesterday and today....snow is in the forecast....It's so true that if you don't like the weather here, just be wait 5-10 minutes and it will change. So it goes I guess....
Please respond
I had someone try to post comments on my blog from Brazil. I deleted the comment but they mentioned they were adding me to their blog list. That alarms me. So in an effort to try to keep my loved ones safe, I will be making my blog private.
Those I have email addresses for may have already received an email inviting you to read my blog. If you have not received an invite from me please add a comment to this with your email address so that I can add you to my list of approved readers. (Since I have it set up to moderate my comments anyway, your comment will go to my personal email account and your email will not appear on my blog at all.)
Since there are a few friends who read my blog and I don't have their email address, I'm going to wait until April 1 to change it over to private to give them time to contact me. After that, I'll be making the switch as others have done.
Yes, I might be panicking a bit but some of you know I've had a profile off and on on a couple of the LDS dating websites and it's unnerving to me when I'm at a singles activity and some guy keeps staring at me with the look like he's seen me before....sometimes they do introduce themselves which eases things but it's still a bit odd and uncomfortable when it happens.
I believe once I make the switch to approved readers only you'll have to log in to read my updates (as frequent as they are...hee hee). Sorry to make it a bit more challenging but it's best to do all we can to keep ourselves and others as safe as possible.
Thanks for your support and understanding.
PS-some of you might receive an email at different addresses, I sent the invite to every address I had for you, I wasn't sure which was the most frequently used/best one so I covered my bases to be sure you got the message.

Spring Has Finally Sprung! (Hopefully)
I was heading out to meet some former co-workers for lunch today. As I left the building I noticed a magpie flying through the parking lot carrying a stick in its mouth. That's got to mean that spring is here to stay (no more crazy snow storms or cold temps) if the bird is gathering sticks for a nest....It's about time if you ask me!
