Raindrops and Roses

Sometimes I wanna pull a blanket over my head and never come out. It just makes me really sad looking at all the ways people go looking for happiness. Or what they'll do to be cool. I mean, I was 16 once upon a time but seriously? I sometimes worry the fate of the world is doomed just from getting on facebook and seeing what people are up to. . . . But today I read this note I found in my dresser and it said that sometimes the world is going to seem suckish with all the crap out there, but to stay positive and look for the good things. I know, you've probably heard that a thousand times but it really helped today. 
Flowers are so amazing. I used to think they were dumb because they're so hard to keep alive and then they just die and sometimes there's bees in them that pop out like a Jack in the box. But I keep finding shriveled up dead flowers all over my room from the summer and random days and they still smell so good and make me smile :) Yes, dead flowers are pretty. 
And then I was reading through my EFY notebook over the summer and I remembered all the awesome people who were there and man. We're the next generation in the world, and if we all stick to our beliefs we can really make a difference. Shabam. 
Incase any of you were wondering, I have the most awesomest boyfriend in the world. He makes me delicious cheese sandwiches and sings Selena Gomez to me when I'm scared. 
I had to pick a favorite teacher for an appreciation dinner, and it was one of the hardest things to do EVER. There's just so many amazing people out there who've made an impact on my life. 
Sidenote- in English we have a choice to read either Wuthering Heights, Dracula, or Frankenstein, and I chose Wuthering Heights because it's mentioned in Twilight and since Stephanie Meyer said that the Hunger Games was awesome on her website before it was even in the stores and look at just how big The Hunger Games is now, so I trust her judgement. But anyways, we were having a vocab quiz and all the Dracula kids argued with the teacher for about twenty minutes about how taking a five word vocab quiz was not fair and bla bla bla bla. And I got sick of it so I raised my hand and was like yo I'm ready to take my quiz word. Ok, I didn't say it just like that. But yeah.
Is it weird to read the blogs of people you don't know? Because I was doing that today and I couldn't. Stop. I just had to know what happened next in their lives! Man oh man. 
That awkward moment when two teachers like each other but won't admit it to their inner souls and you just want to help them but can't. . . . Maybe I read too many romance boooks.
Speaking of which, the librarians now know my name and I'd be surprised if they didn't have my id number memorized and always ask me what I'm reading. 
Animals that are in full rigor mortis can be used in making physical pendulums. ha. Ha. ha. 
I guess the world isn't that bad. Cool!

  1. Missed you today. Hope you had fun at the singles ward. I hope you enjoy Wuthering Heights, really not one of my favorites, but I know plenty of people that love it. I hope you have fun at the teacher appreciation dinner. You are awesome by the way and I too love dead flowers. I've kept a lot the flowers Matt has given me over the years. They are still beautiful to me.

Fake

I feel like a lot of times when going through blogger, I'm always pushing the boundaries a bit. A lot of blogs seem to always be happy and awesome and they just won this free product from someone and it's great! And then, I'm over here in my little corner of the blogosphere wondering, hey, should I actually write about this? Is this something that you just pretend like it never happens? Am I the only one this happens to? My favorite moments are when I find someone cutting down those walls and sharing what life is actually like. That they have zits. That they don't have the perfect relationship and baby. That they've struggled with mental health. That they're secretly gross like me. (I took a quiz on buzz feed about how secretly gross are you, and I got pretty gross. In the guise of not being fake, I am sharing this fact with you all!) When I find those blog posts, I instantly feel a connection with that person and will automatically follow them on their life j...

Liebster-ing it up!

Funny story. A few days ago I was reading all the blogs I follow like I usually do. And of course I read  Jana's  blog and read about how she had won the Liebster award. I had no idea what it was, so I read her post full of fun facts, and for everyone I kept nodding my head going, I DO THAT TOO! Then today I re-read her blog, and realized that she'd nominated me for the Liebster award as well! It was a very exciting moment. Thank you! So I guess this is how it works, I think, I'm new to this whole thing. I totally just stole this off Jana's blog ;) "The Liebster Blog Award is given to bloggers by bloggers. It is a way to acknowledge each other and say 'you're doing a great job.' It is for blogs with 200 or less followers, so it's also a great way to spread the word about smaller blogs & get them more readers/ followers! When you receive the award, you post 11 random facts about yourself and answer 11 questions from the person who nominated y...

Christmas Lights

It’s funny having a baby and then trying to do things. I’ve noticed over the last year that I’ve gotten an I Can’t do that sort of attitude. We can’t do that because Aaron will cry and we’ll get cranky and so on. I’m really trying to work on that.  My anxiety out in public is much worse too. Now I have two people to protect not just myself. The library definitely changed how I look at places and I wish it hadn’t.  Sammy really wanted to go to a Christmas village downtown but I was too overwhelmed by all the logistics. So we compromised and went to one near us. It was so much fun! It was cold out but not too too bad. Aaron loves looking at the Christmas lights at our apartments, and he really loved these ones. It was so much more fun trying to look at these things through his eyes.  He was also fascinated by the mini Santa and Mrs. Clause at grandma’s house.  I’m so glad we went and can’t wait to go next year when he’s walking:)
