Feeling better about airline tickets

Today a saw an ad in my e-mail for ticket deals for Southwest. So I decided to look up the exact same flights I scheduled for April. The return trip was less than what we paid, so I called and asked if I could change and get the lower price. I can!!! We don't get cash back, but I got an $80 credit toward another flight in the next year. Yay!! I feel much better about missing the original deal (even though this one isn't quite as good as the first one).

Later

I don't know why I can't seem to get on the computer earlier in the evening. But here is a little more info on my goals. I love to learn and so much of the time I am only studying things I have to--like when you go to school. Well, I am studying some things now that I have felt are interesting and have always wanted to learn about, but never took the time. I am taking voice lessons (yes I did start this last year in Fall Semester but I am continuing with it).

I decided to sign up for a Master Gardener Class offered through USU extension in Davis County. It starts in February. Along with paying for the class, I get to volunteer 40 hours toward community gardening in Davis County. I think it sounds interesting and I am looking forward to it. It is also interesting how many people who I have mentioned it to have said they have always thought it sounded like something they would like to do too (except for maybe the 40 volunteer hours).

Goals for the new year

Yes, I actually do have some goals for the new year. Yes, some of them are the same as in past years, such as reading scriptures, attending the temple, daily prayer, preparing Relief Society lessons in advance etc.

Another is getting to bed earlier. I have a tendency to stay up until 11:30 or midnight and then wonder why I can't get up early in the morning. It seems that much of what I do in mornings I has to be to by 9 a.m (such as being to work at the hospital at 9, our Sunday block of meetings starts at 9, a class I will be taking on Wednesdays starts at 9). However, in my old age I am finding that I need 9 hours of sleep and I can't do that if I don't go to bed till midnight. Therefore, my goal is to go to bed by 10. Oops, it is 10 now, so I'll have to write about other goals later.

bummer

We are planning to go to Dayton for my grandson's baptism on May 1st. I found a great deal on airfare for $83 one way. However, at the time I wasn't sure of the date, so I called my son and daughter-in-law and the next day we had the dates set for sure--the great deal was gone already. :(

New years resolutions

I resolve to stop procrastinating and to write in my blog---later.
