Don't Let the Bed Bugs Bite

Guess what? Yep, they found bed bugs in our dorm. Not in my room, but in my other roommates room. I was headed off to work yesterday when I heard a scream and freaking out. My other roommate who had watched extensive movies about bed bugs before coming, had found one. They're bigger than I thought they were. And the one she found and killed was blood red. Go google bed bugs after this, so you can see what I'm talking about.

Since I had work though, I wasn't there for the rest of the day when the RA's came in and did an inspection, then the head lady, then a bug expert, and finally an exterminator. Apparently now they're doing a heat treatment and spray to our dorms. I'm at home for the weekend so when I come back I hope everything's alright and the bed bugs are gone forever.

Everyone else hasn't come to the conclusion that this is an awesome story to tell. I mean come on, bed bugs the first week of college?! The children are going to love this story.

The only bad thing is I keep finding little itchy things on my skin and I'm scared they're bed bug bites even though they didn't find any in my room of the shared rooms. Google isn't helping a girl out either. All the bites look completely different and some of them definitely match what I've got but then again it might be something else. I'll just wait and see if they go away.

Another great story! The bestby had family in town so after a crazy day I went bowling with them. Well when I first got to his house I saw a cute little dog running around. It ran right up to me and rolled onto it's tummy. So of course I petted it. It was so cute. Man I miss having a dog up at the dorm. And animals. Seeing that dog made me so happy and better. So naturally when we were leaving and the dog started running for my car, I opened the door. And didn't really stop it and it's best friend from getting in. Once they were in though, they didn't want to leave. I didn't want them to leave either.

But sadly, they had too. They weren't my dogs. And we were going bowling. So the bestby and his whole family got them to the house they think they belonged to, and when no one would answer and the dogs wouldn't stay, they put them inside the gate.

Hopefully they belong there because otherwise someone is going to come home to two new very friendly dogs.

Oh, and when we were bowling, the bestby won me this from those claw machines. It's a little freaky looking but I love it!
It's nice being home. I kind of don't want to go back. Sigh.

Say Yes?

Well. Today I went dress shopping. And it was a really fun experience! I went a few weeks ago, and that wasn't as fun. I almost fainted because everything was so tight! And I looked like a little girl playing dress up. This time though, I felt sophisticated, it was a much better experience, and I may have found THE dress. I know it's one of these ones, but at the store I thought I was going to get one dress. But as I got home and looked through the pictures again, I think another one will work better and is really THE one. I'm going to sit on it though.  I thought it'd be fun to put the pictures up here and let you all see! Tell me which dress is your favorite! If there's two pictures together, it's the front and back.  How was dress shopping for you?  I like the lace and buttons on this dress     Love the top and flowyness of this dress. Really love the neck, top, and ruching on this dress. Not sure about the train though. This...

Book of Mormon Musical?

Well, it's here in Denver. Kind of hard not to notice it with all the signs. The Book of Mormon Musical. I have very mixed feeling about this. I know that in the grand scheme of the universe, this musical shouldn't bother me so much. But it really, really does. The Book of Mormon is something very near and dear to my heart. And I know that people make fun of the LDS church on an hourly basis. I've heard all the jokes. Not a big deal. Plus, I'm blonde. I can take a joke. But this musical really disturbs me. I listened to the songs when they were released, thinking oh, I'm gonna be one of those cool people who fights for this play. But then I really started listening to the words. And they bothered me. A lot. Saying that missionaries who are out in the field make up things on the spot, like having sex with frogs will get rid of aids, it bugged me. I don't even want to talk about some of the other songs. I heard them and felt, just not right. I was comforted by t...

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...
