Crazy Socks & Writer's Block

This a guest post from Brinley and Lewis, my knee. I couldn't wash my hair this morning because Lewis wanted to be a rice crispy treat; snap, crackle, pop. But this isn't about me and Lewis. This is about Sammy. Sammy boo boo bear. Why did Kylee name him this? We shall never know, but I am sure you have noticed the resemblence to the name Honey boo boo. Perhaps they shared their first kiss while watching this show. Now back to me. No one understands my humor while playing apples to apples. Protective? I say mucous membrane. They pick panda. Creative? Al gore. They pick a calendar. So then I try to pick the stupidest card to go with word. Still no success. Either I am less witty  then I think, or I need more witty friends. One my thing I do need is my own room. Once upon a time, my shared bedroom was considered a tiny bit messy. Now, the pile of stuff has gained its own name. Mount Kylee. This is no exaggeration. I would never consider exaggerating to make a story sound more int...

I feel more energized when I go to work. Every hour, every customer is just one more dollar going towards my future home. I've been looking up tons of gardening tips. I really want to grow my own strawberries and maybe even a blueberry bush on our balcony! I'm so proud of Sammy, he was at the hospital until 1 in the morning last night taking care of his mom. He always stays so calm in emergencies and knows just what to do. That makes me so confident knowing whatever life decides to throw at us, we can deal with it. And he still has a sense of humor in scary situations. We were discussing Dr. House. (Everything is fine now, just some nasty kidney stones.) THE BRONCOS ARE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL!!! This is my first year really watching football and actually understanding what's going on. How exciting that my hometown is going to the Super Bowl! I need to go get me a Peyton Manning shirt… School's starting. I got my textbooks away from my workplace (the campus books...

Ever since I got a new phone, I've been taking a lot more pictures, because, well, you can actually see what's in the pictures. Here's all the pictures I took the last few weeks. Before Sammy went to Mexico  Editing time My flowers for my wedding Christmas present from Sammy. It arrived while he was in Mexico which was really sweet! Our guest book My nail broke at that teeny tiny white line. That wasn't fun to cut off. Misty likes football. She was barking the whole time. Sammy picking a sandwich like a model. Christmas tree! Wedding jewelry My first attempt at homemade Spanish rice I played sports once. Bridesmaid dress. In the blue! Finished an afghan New Years Resolution. I've already failed miserably. How he felt at the beginning of Pride and Prejudice. He got so into it during the last two and half hours. Doritos from Mexico. They taste a lot better This is as close to a pic of ...

Yesterday was a busy day. Which explains why I feel as if I've been run over by a truck today. My morning started off early with my first ever Jury Duty summons. I was embarrassed when I had to take off my belt in the metal detector, no one else seemed to be wearing belts. Then I reported to the room to wait. It was interesting to see what books everyone was reading, there was a girl reading Divergent and I just wanted to talk her ear off. I read the book I'd brought with me instead, and was a little miffed when the first two chapters were very, very, very, VERY similar to the premise of the novel I'm working on at the moment. I need to finish this story before someone else publishes it word for word! Ahh!  We watched a very cheesy video on what it means to be a juror and then someone appeared with a list of names. I was the first name on the list and had to fill out a questionnaire. Then we were taken up to the courtroom where we waited outside for a good half an hour to...

I had a lot of fun today. Sammy's back home! This is how I feel when he goes away for awhile. I'm all good now though.  I decided to make my New Years resolution to floss. Just kidding. We'll, in going to try to floss more that's always good! But I'm still working on my other ones. My first one is to not stress as much so I shall not stress about that!  Sammy and I went to the mall and it was just nice to walk around and have nothing to do nowhere to be. We did get him a suit jacket though! And then....  We watched pride and prejudice. The five hour one. At the moment we're only two hours in though.  My favorite parts were his reactions to Mr. Collins and the old time flirting. He then tried to flirt with me Jane Austin style. It was fun!  I got to spend time being a dork with my siblings and have a House marathon. Going into this year, I was anxious and full of fear. I don't want a year anywhere near last year. I don't want to make the same mistakes fee...
