Grumpy.

I don't know why...well maybe I do...but lately I've been a bit...grumpy, a bit on edge, overly tired and a bit snappy....

A few lame excuses:

I really hate winter...cold, snow, wind...hate it all

Things have not gone exactly as I would like them to

School is stressing me out

I feel bogged down and tired, and when I have to work...it doesn't help

I've been having weird dreams

I hate winter

I am just wishing these next few weeks will go fast

I know, I know...attitude adjustment asap! Today was just one of those days that nothing went well...and all I wanted to do was go under my covers and hide from the world...but instead I had homework to do, work to go to and reality to face...

Sorry for my family this past holiday, I think I took it out on them. Thanksgiving was great, but felt a bit lonely. Makes me sad when I'm home, but my older siblings are not around. I missed them a lot.

Hopefully I'll survive these next 3 weeks and will be all SMILES after that.

False Alarm

It is like Utah has never seen snow before. 

The most that came from the "blizzard" was the power went out for 3 hours...But there was barely an inch on the ground of snow.

Congrats everyone who made it through the blizzard....it was a tough night.

Weather Forcast

Worst storm in 30 years is supposed to hit today from 2pm-5pm...Can't lie...I'm super excited to see such a storm!!

Bring it weather.

Sister Missionary

There she goes...there she goes to the MTC. I miss her already! But she'll rock Argentina! I can't wait for her letters, I know they will be fantastic! She is great. If you did not ever meet her...in a year and a half I will introduce you. The funniest, craziest girl I know and I love her.

Can I just tell you how excited I am?

I love her. I loved her last album. I will love this one. Here is a preview of one of her singles from the album that will be out soon!

I think 2011 will be a great year...and the main reason is a 5 letter word: ADELE

Return and Report

My Sunday was very successful.

I left church feeling very hopeful and happy!

One more full week left til Thanksgiving break....I can't wait.

Things I plan to do during the break:

• hang out with the family
• play indoor soccer with friends/family
• do a little homework (just a little...)
• eat turkey
• eat pie
• sleep in
• hang out with the family
• catch up on movies I haven't seen in theaters
• sleep in

ya...It'll be a good break.

dreams

I sometimes love my dreams...other times not. I think I love the dreams that are totally unrealistic. I hate the dreams that are realistic, and you confuse them with reality.

Last night I had a dream...I didn't like it.

I'd describe it to you...but it was sad and hopeless.

So I'm going to church for one reason today...to feel happy and hopeful.

Series of Unfortunate Events

(First sorry I didn't write yesterday Hilary...I totally spaced)

I have read all 13 books of the Series of Unfortunate Events. I loved those book. The witty humor of the writer kept me entertained.

I watched the movie last night...and even though it does not follow the book, I kinda liked it. But ya.

This blog post is not about a Series of Unfortunate Events though...its about a series of fortunate events.

I was baby sitting my nephew last night. When his parents came home I got to listen to my brother in law play the guitar. I sat there watching his fingers move and listening to the sweet sounds of the guitar and his voice and I was smiling inside. My sister is being taken care of. I could not have asked for a better person to love my sweet older sister.

Then I started to think about my brother and his wife. Oh what an amazing women my sister in law is! 3 kids under the age of 4, and she is a rock star. She is so sweet, loving and amazing mother. I am happy that my brother is taken care of. I could not have asked for a better person to love my great older brother.

They have it. They have that love that I hope to have one day. One day I'll find someone wonderful to take care of me...and we'll have a series of fortunate events together :)

I'm a tired bear.

Winter makes me tired. I am tired as it is all the time...but something about winter makes it even harder.

Maybe I was born to be a bear. I wouldn't mind hibernating til Spring comes around.

So if I disappear randomly...I probably curled up in a cave with some bears sleeping for the winter. 

For Hilary

Hilary leaves in one week for Argentina...she has issued me a dare to post something everyday til she leaves....wow...you all may get really bored of my posts this next week.

But today I actually have something to say: I can wait 5 or so years for children in my life.

Last night I went to Highland to help my sister-in-law with her kids. Right now they are all having weird sleeping patterns (4-year old is afraid of monsters, 3-year old is afraid of Indians, and the baby is teething). So she is not getting much sleep.

It wasn't hard, and I enjoy spending time with those kids...but that is as a bystander....I look at Monica and wander how she is doing it?....So I've decided to just be a helper a couple more years, then I'll consider being a mom (after I get married).

I dare you...

I don't know who really follows my blog Blog stats tell me everything. So I know who you are. I dare you, no double dog dare you....no wait....TRIPLE DOG DARE YOU to leave a comment on one of my posts this week. I have a private blog and an anonymous blog...those blogs are for my enjoyment....this blog is for everyone else...and I right now I have no idea if you like what I'm saying or not...so if its lame...tell me. No one can pass up a dare...

inside my mind

I can't believe its November already. Soon it will be Summer again.

If I were living my dreams I'd go to Thailand for 2 weeks to visit McKay Orton. Too bad money stands in the way of my dreams.

I keep getting sick...and I don't like it.

The Hilary Collins leaves in 2 weeks for her mission. I'm going to miss her.

I've learned that being positive really pays off :)
