The Tree

So every six months my church (I’m Mormon / LDS) has this thing called General Conference. It’s this thing where we get guidance from our church leaders for two days. they give talks in 5 two hour sessions. The first three happen at 10, 2 and 6. The third one is just for the men. The other two happen on Sunday at 10 and 2. The women do have their meeting but ours is the week before.

Anyway, so the first thing I did today was listen to General Conference and do a bunch of random stuff on my phone. I ate some Cafe Rio that I got with dad yesterday night because I didn’t finish it. I don’t have much to say about conference right now really. My attention span isn’t the best and I want to give that stuff it’s own post after I re listen or read the talks later.

After the first session I needed to go put my check from work in the bank, so I got ready. I decided to wear my hair up in a pony tail. Something I haven’t tried since I cut my hair a month and a half ago. I got most of it up and I just pinned the rest down with about 11 hair clips I think. I don’t really mind all the hair clips. I put everything into my little purse and then I was off! While I was waiting for the bus it rained however, but thankfully it wasn’t too long or too heavy. The bus came soon after and I got on it. I took this picture of my hair when I was riding for a friend.

That strand behind my ear came loose when the wind was blowing. I’m glad more didn’t come out.

So I went to the bank and deposited my check. the buses only come every hour on Saturday, so I decided to just go to themall and get this necklace from Claire’s that I’ve been wanting for a while. I was tempted to buy more, but my funds are limited, so I decided not to.

 

I love trees, so I’m probably going to be wearing this a lot. I like how it’s on a black rope instead of a chain. The chains at Claire’s tarnish and fade. I’ve never liked them very much.

I got some ice cream after this at Farr’s and got cheesecake mixed with marshmallow. I could have just gotten ice cream at Cold Stone, but I love the flavors of Farr’s much more. I put sugar wafer and pretzels in it. The whole thing was fabulous and while i ate I was actually listening to the second session of conference.

I also took a bus and back to Sally’s Beauty Supply to see what hair stuff I’ll need later for when I grow it out. It wasn’t very long, but I’m glad i went. I decided not to stay over there because I didn’t want to get stuck without a bus home. If I’d stayed on that side of town I would have had to get a ride and I hate asking people for rides. When I got back to the mall I hung out for a while and looked at more hair products, this time at Regis Salon. I thought about buying some hairspray and shampoo, but decided to wait.

I took the bus home not too long after this. On my wa home I stopped by the store and ended up getting cheaper hairspray and shampoo. I also got a candy corn flavored chocolate bar and candy corn M&Ms. I walked home and finished off the rest of my Cafe Rio burrito while I watched random videos.
