I went to Bear Lake with my mom this weekend , just a day trip. It was lots of fun. We saw Holly and Bill's cabin, hiked to Paris Spring, and stopped to talk to my mom's friend Diane.

I went to the dentist for the first time in 4 years. I have 4 cavities, one of which may need a root canal. I hate the dentist so the prospect of going in at least 2 more times is frightening. My new dentist is young, really young, younger than me. He has no TVs in his office, and I think no happy gas.

Lately I seem to be getting a lot of midnight text messages. Since I use my phone as an alarm clock it's always right by my bed. I'm not sure lately why everyone seems to think that texting in the middle of the night is okay, but if your reading this and your thinking about texting me, don't do it in the middle of the night. The text you get back may not make any sense anyway.

I went to the redwoods. It was an amazing trip. I suggest everyone go at least once in their lives. I went with my mom and we camped for the first two nights before heading to a hotel. It was just so cold, and my mom's airmattress wouldn't stay inflated.

The trees were so cool. Giant thousand year old trees. They don't have a taproot. Their shallow root system doesn't seem enough to hold them in place. The ranger said that they interlock their roots so they keep each other strong. Their's a sunday school lesson in there somewhere.

My apartment is infested. Okay so I've only seen 2, but two means infested. The second one got away so I know for sure that they're alive in the apartment. It's a house centipede. I'm going to bug bomb my apartment. I know they're bad and chemically, but honestly I'd rather suck fumes for a few days than live with the knowledge that THAT is under my bed. I'll let you know how it goes.
