siLLy gOOse.

I have noticed that my blog has taken a serious turn lately...not that there is anything wrong with that but I am not that serious in real life.

I will share with you some silly one liners:

*"Shopping makes me ill" -my friend Joel who is quite the cowboy

*"I'll try to get his pic, he may break my camera, seriously that's how hot he is" -my friend Courtney when talking about the incredibly good looking butcher in Italy

*"Oh, they need to just stop pussy-footin' " -my mother


And my personal favorite...



*"Truth be told, I think I thrive under a lack of accountability" -Michael Scott "The Office"

Hallelujah.


I am now officially finished with my first quarter back to college.

I.can't.even.believe.it

Never thought I would be here...but I am and I will have you know I finished strong and got some pretty good marks!

Whoa there...

This week has been interesting. I sometimes feel like I am just going through the motions of life and leaving thoughts and progress behind. It's as if I am an onlooker of my actions.



I wish that I could rewind the last week and relive it. I might have done things differently. My actions would have been different. There would have been grace and understanding. I would not have yelled at the ridiculous drivers on the road back and forth from the island. I might not have gotten frustrated at my mom when she woke me up for church. I could have not gotten irritated when I was misunderstood. I probably should not have been so quick to peg certain people with certain stereotypes.

Instead of thinking back on the things I wish I could do differently...I choose to live and love this week in a way that exemplifies Christ. This life is just a passing onto an eternal life that we are mentally uncapable of grasping.

I choose to live my life in a way that glorifies Christ.

I will live my life in light of the cross.

Welcome back.

I have decided I am done with my hi-tech hiatus. This story alone is worth it.

I am at work and helping an older gentlemen with the copy machine. It's been a while since I have seen him and after he is done with his project we started to chat.

After a quick minute he asks me, "So are you excited?" To which I replied, "About??"

He then says to me, "Well, when are you due?" After I picked my jaw up from the floor I stated, "WHAT?!"

This poor guy...he is just trying to start a conversation and it BOMBED on him. He was a little frazzled and began to apologize and wouldn't look me in the eye. I told him it's ok and it was probably the style of shirt (it does look a little 'maternity')...but really I don't think I look that overweight. Do I??

I think that when I get home...I will either burn this shirt or put it away until I am pregnant.

Who doesn't love awkward moments.

time out.


I am finding that I need a break from the computer.

I won't be posting anything or checking anything. I also have decided to deactivate my facebook account. I am not sure how long this will be for but my heart desires change and this seems to be a start. I will check my email once in the evening.

If you need to get a hold of me I have my phone as well as a home address.

I bid computer technology goodbye for now.

too-when-dee fuh-eye-veh {twenty five}

I know I totally copying Christy...but I would rather post random facts about myself here and not on Facebook.

So here goes.

1. I hate red licorice and LOVE black licorice. I am pretty sure I am the only person on the planet who feels this way.

2. I can't eat things that have a weird texture. Hence my dislike for marshmallows.

3. I sing anywhere but in the shower. I would probably be in there for like an hour singing my
heart out.

4. I think I have mild social anxiety...I haven't had a birthday "party" since I was about 5.

5. I love to quote lines from my favorite movies and TV shows. I could go back and forth all day long and would never get tired of it.

6. I didn't write a research paper until my junior year of high school. I now wonder how I even got to 11th grade.

7. I love deep conversation. Therefore, I dislike shallow conversation.

8. My favorite shape is a crown. {not a tiara, a crown}

9. I hope to be married someday to a man who loves the Lord more than he loves me. {if you know any of those kind of guys...you can give them my number ;) }

10. I love to wear socks to bed. I also tuck my PJ's into them so that my legs don't get cold in the night...don't deny it, you know exactly what I am talking about.

11. I am an awful story teller. The story only comes alive after I type it out and actually think about how I am going to tell it.

12. I am a procrastinator. That isn't really random because most people are...but I love to work under pressure.

13. I have a fear of long fingernails. I cut mine as short as is humanly possible.

14. I hope to be able to have a preschool out of my home...after I purchase a home, even though I know my parents would LOVE to have a preschool running out of their house {HAHA...Mom, I am totally kidding. Sort of...}

15. It takes me exactly an hour to get ready in the morning...no matter how short or long of a shower I take. It always ends up being an hour.

16. I make my bed every morning. Well mostly every morning. My day is always a little more chaotic when I miss that part of my morning routine.

17. I seem to always have great intentions...but am usually a little late with the follow through.

18. On April 10, 1987...my mother arrived at the hospital at 3:00 am and I was born at 3:03 am. My dad was parking the car. I must have had a pressing engagement to attend. ;)

19. I have never smoked a cigar or cigarette. I have never done drugs. I didn't drink until I was 21 and even now I don't drink much. I guess living with the "law" in your house got to me at a young age.

20. I have wanted to live in Australia {or go to school there} since I was a junior in high school.

21. When I sing harmony to a song {that is the part that "blends" with the melody, or natural tune of the song} I do everything by ear. I can't even read music.

22. I am extremely independent. I like to figure things out on my own and usually have a hard time asking for help when I need it. I am working on this though and I am making great progress.

23. I would rather text someone than call them back. I am not a big phone person...unless the occasion arises in which a phone call in necessary.

24. If I think about my family dying, I cry. I cry REALLY hard.

25. I used to work at about 4:00 in the morning and would run on like 3 or 4 hours of sleep and now that I have a "big girl job" I am grouchy if I don't get my full 8 hours.

I think this is about it. This was MUCH harder than it looks. I will not tag anyone because it seems as though everyone I know has already done it. Although, it does make for a good read!
