woof.

I've been in a little bit of a blogging funk lately. I just don't feel like I really have a purpose to blog.

I love to blog though, it's been an outlet for me to share things that I love.

I really haven't wanted to get personal on my blog lately, even though I have before. I still don't want to spill all my personal thoughts and feelings into one blog post.

But today was suppose to be a great day. I was expecting phones calls that just never came.

I realize that "everything happens for a reason" 

but when I think or hear that phrase all I wanna say is "bull sh.." For real.

So for now I want to be sad, but I know things will work out the way they are suppose to.

I really do know that. 

Nothing a diet coke and some quotes can't fix:)

Something is wrong.

Post Edit: I PASSED THE PRAXIS. FORGET MY PROBLEMS. Life is good.

Ok. I seriously have some problems.
First, I cannot seem to get out of bed before 11. I even wake up multiple times before this and set my alarm, but my body and my brain tell me NO. It's for real a problem.
Second, I cannot for the life of me get my butt to the gym. I have done pretty well at this all summer, but for the last 2 weeks {granted I was on vacation for a week}seem to be impossible, but I leave next Thursday to head to the beach for 10 days. I need to be running.
Third, I just got this ipod touch--I really love the thing--but yesterday I downloaded a running app and an 8 minute ab app {see, I'm trying to motivate myself}, but they won't sync to my ipod. This is a very big problem.
Fourth, I made rice krispy treats last night and seem to be the only human in my house eating them. UGH. So rice krispy treats are my favorite--anyone that makes me them seriously warms my heart. So when you have a boyfriend that lives in Idaho--you eat rice krispy treats. I blame him for my extra weight gain:).
Fifth, I have a boyfriend that lives in Idaho.
Sixth, when I was out of town, my little sister packed half of my clothes in an empty suitcase because she was "moving me into her room and her into mine" so I have another suitcase to unpack. Unpacking is the worst.
Seventh, I have become addicted to Diet Sunkist. I just wish I could become addicted to water and carrots or something. {so maybe I did have a rice krispy treat and a diet Sunkist for breakfast. who's judging?}
Eighth, now that I'm writing all of these "problems" out, I'm laughing. I am for real ridiculous.
Ninth, I need to get these amazing pants altered. I'm sure most girls out there know those wide leg trousers from the GAP? Well...got mine for 12 bucks. ZING! But I'm 5'1--therefore they need to be hemmed a little bit.
Tenth, my room is straight up messy.
Eleventh, I still cannot comment on some blogs. If you don't have a pop out blog commenter thing, I can't comment. It's seriouslyyyy lameeee.

Ok. Now that I've listed all my problems. I'm going to try and go and solve them all. I know some of you will read this and think "okay, this girl does not have problems." and you are right. I really don't have any major problems, but I realize that there will be times in my future that I will actually encounter real life problems, so right now I am completely thankful for my not so big of a deal problems. Just remember that if you're going through trials or have a list of real problems that these things will only make you stronger. You'll get past them. You'll be a better person because of them.

Happy Weekend!

WardRobe Wednesday: Summer Skirts

I feel like it's finally Summer.
Which makes me so happy--really.
It's just something about those summer night meals outside that make the long winter's worth it.
Now that I finally have some color on my legs, I pulled out all my summer skirts.
Loving them.

{Skirt: Gap, Shirt: H&M, Sandals: Ann Taylor Loft, Watch: Target}

Today the universe is working against me.

I'm not sad or in a bad mood.

I'm just bummed out.

I received two emails today that just bummed me out completely.

I was just really excited for certain things happening in my future and something is always put on hold.

So this song is in honor of all of us that are having a "bum" kind of day.

enjoy.

But this boy just puts a smile on my face.

There's also another boy that puts a smile on my face. Thats for another post, another day:)

ps. Is anyone else having trouble commenting on blogs?

I can on some and I can't on others.

It's driving me c.r.a.z.y.

what the ish?

What the ish blogger?
You can't just go and delete Wednesday's post.
Seriously.

Lets recap, shall we?
My entire outfit was from the Gap.
I confessed that I rather have dirty hair then clean hair.
& I dibs Dan.
Overall, it was a post that I didn't want to be deleted.

I'm currently hanging out in my robe. Watching Justin Bieber: Never Say Never.

Favorite quote:

"One day, I tweeted Justin over 100 times."

What the ish?

Maddie's home sick from school today. Joy.

This truly does reflect my life.

and don't forget its F.R.I.D.A.Y.

ps. I have a crush on JB.

Straight up.

As of Lately

I'm in the middle of re-doing my blog.
It takes a lot more time than it should. I just need something new, ya know?

So today, I was determined to be beyond REAL on my blog.

I feel like most bloggers only blog about the good things that happen in their lives, which is great because usually we need to focus on the good things.

At the same time, this is my blog. I write about what I want to write about whether its good or bad--I want to document that. I want it to be known that I have bad days, I'm not perfect, I can be judgmental, I can gossip, and  I can even throw out a cuss word or two {sorry mom&dad}. For the past couple months, I have had a hard time. My emotions have been all over the place, I've been beyond furious to completely sad. To me the hardest part about my situation as of lately is that no matter what I'm the bad person. Do you recall when you were younger and your parents would always say...

"There's two parts of every story"

That statement has never been so real to me than it is today.

There truly is two parts to every story.

Moral of this blog post:

Katie's blog post changed my heart--Thanks Katie.

Today, you made me a better person by having me step back and look for the good things and to realize that I have so much to be grateful for.

ps. Stay tuned for my Friday Vlog

Unnecessary

Unnecessary is my favorite word this week. You can use it in any sentence or in any situation.
Try it. You will love it too.

For instance:
-20 degree weather is unnecessary.
Weighing yourself at night after you ate a drumstick is unnecessary.
Hitting someone walking through the crosswalk because of texting is unnecessary.
(I'm actually not sure they were even texting)
But still its unnecessary. Be careful while driving or walking for that matter.
No, I didn't get hit, but someone did.
The fact that I don't watch TV (except for greys) because of school is quite unnecessary.
Erin just mentioned that the last 25 minutes of her life have been unnecessary. Can I also mention that she is having a baby GIRL a week before my sisters baby is due. I'm so excited, but not because I won't be working for her...and I'm never here when she has her cute babies. Can we say unnecessary? She could of timed that better.
Today I went to lunch with Melissa. We started talking about life after graduation which was unnecessary because I honestly cannot tell you where I'll be a year from now. That stresses me and its just unnecessary to even think about.

But you know whats not unnecessary?!

S.N.O.W D.A.Y.S

Those are so necessary, its not even funny.

I've already decided that today I was blogging a long.wordy.blog post. So I'm hope as your reading this you are fully prepared. On Monday I taught my 3rd graders about friendship and doing good deeds for their friends. Today at panda express my fortune cookies said:

"To have a friend you have to be a good friend."

I've thought about friendship a lot lately. I feel like I've been blessed with really great friends in my life. Some friends have shown up in my life just when I needed them. I've always been the type of person that has different groups of friends. I love the girls in my major that are my friends and even Katie has become my friend outside of our major. We even got shut down yesterday because we were talking too much in class. Whoops. I have friends in different states and I have friends that live with me. Some friends from other groups get along great and some don't. How are you suppose to balance that without ruining friendships? I mean I have no idea. So if you have any tips, feel free to let me know. That's about all for my Friday afternoon rant.

I miss my family today.

Probably because the Superbowl is coming up

& I would love to sit on the couch with my dad and eat hot wings.

I could rant on for a lot longer, but I have to go run.

That's right, run. 3 weeks strong.

I actually crave running now.

Special Announcement

I love Fridays.
It's the one day that I don't have anything to do before 10:15 and I'm done by 12:15.
I even got 9 hours of sleep last night. My body is in shock.

Yesterday was an off day for me.

I didn't know why, I just needed a "snow" day.

So, I officially declared it a snow day and skipped a few classes.

Sorry mom and dad:)

I did however attend a forum on campus with my roommate.

She got extra credit if she brought a friend.

It was also for Business and Communication Majors, I was totally out of place.

But it was probably the most influencing talk that I've heard in a while. 

He talked about 3 things that will be the only things that really matter in our lives.

1. Have I contributed to the world?

2. Am I a good person?

3. Who do I love and who loves me?

Am I a good person?

That stuck out to me and I haven't been able to get it out of my mind.

He told us that we need to make a list of our "I will never".

Write down everything we stand for and believe. The minute we cross one of our "I will never" is the minute we need to step back and reconsider what we are doing with our lives. I want to believe that I am a good person, but I have my faults and flaws. I am in no way perfect, nor do I want people to think I am. I think about times where I've lost people I love and cared for, but the fact is I stood up for what I believed and for my standards. It was hard, but I know that situations that are hard shape us to be who we are. They shape us to be good people. Stand up for what you believe and don't ever second guess yourself. 

okayokayokay...

I bet your wondering what my "Special Announcement" is?

(Drum Roll Please)

I'm going to be an...

AUNT:) x2

My brother's girlfriend is expecting a baby boy in March.

and

My sister&jon are expecting a baby boy in June!!!!

I hear being an aunt is the most wonderful thing ever.

I'm going to be spending next fall in SLC so I will be able to spoil my nephew to death.

I love babies! I'm so happy for my both my sister&jon and my brother.

keepcalm.carryon

offended? Not Really.

I need to be doing homework.
But I feel the need to break and blog about the oddest coversations between me and random people today.

#1: Talking with a girl in one of my classes about dating.
                This is what she told me....

"You'll probably be that teacher who marries a single dad of one of the students in you class. 

Then you'll become in instant mom."

I was literally silent.

Should I be offended?

#2: In Horkley's (a local gas station) with my roommates.

                 I was explaining to them that I got an 80 on my math quiz and it brought my grade up 2 point. 

                 Hollaaaa. A kid behind us said this.

"yeah, well C's get degrees, but they don't get you into grad school."

Um, excuse me WHO are YOU to tell ME that I won't get into grad school?

done with my afternoon rant.

Have a fabulous day:)
