Nothing brings in the New Year like mouse poop on your pillow. It gets the blood going and really inspires definitive Clorox action. When we came home from our Christmas vacation many mouse poops greeted us in multiple areas in the house. But, when I saw that mouse had infested my pillow top mattress, it got personal. No mercy. Fight terror with terror. Or something to that effect. To all you mouse haters Bubblicious bubblegum can kill three mice in less than 24 hours. Well, one thing the vermin did do for us was jump start our little New Year's List: Kill all vermin.
Another list Husband and I are concocting is a BYU-I Bucket List. Being our last semester, we want to do all the things we were too busy, or under some impression we were too cool for (that impression has long since been recognize as a farce). First on the list was to become I-Reps. This is an organization complied completely of single people who are peppy at 6:00 am, which makes them freaks of nature. The real purpose for this group is to welcome new freshmen, organize on campus activities, etc. But I have a strong hunch it really is meant to match equally perky individuals with each other to ensure perky children in a few years. Okay, I'm not that cynical (but really...). Although Austin and I were one of the only married couple (they liked to fuse our identities together "Oh! You're the Becks!"), it was really fun to be with a bunch of high energy people (I cannot confirm or deny how much caffeine they did or did not ingest), it felt really good to be serving other people, and being in charge of the jousting booth at the carnival was a blast! Nothing like bouncing around a blow up jousting square and watching people hit each other with over sized padded sticks! I forget how much of a social bug I am till I get back into those situations. We both really enjoyed ourselves and would like to do it again if we could.
Some other things on the list:
~join a battleship team (life size battleship in a swimming pool. Last canoe not sunk wins!)
~get an on campus personal trainer
~go to at least one play, dance competition, and music concert on campus
~go to latin dance night
~win a prize for doing the weekly sudoku puzzle
~volunteer for something for outdoor activities
We'll see how do-able our ambitious goals are with both of us pulling 17 upper level credits, me applying for an internship and part of a research class, and he pulling physics and math tutoring. But hey! Rest when you're dead, right?
That sounds great, you can do it! Love you!
