Right Now I'm Loving...

Getting in bed every night, utterly exhausted

Running and doing ab workouts (great stress reliever)

Facebook in Pirate language

Lucky Charms every morning, while doing my hair and listening to country

Speaking of country... country music,

more specifically, Crazy Girl by Eli Young Band

Falling asleep on my bedroom floor, under my desk as a result of printing millions of papers

(I keep my printer under my desk...)

My Child Development class. I literally LOVE it, and doing the homework

Funfetti frosting and FlipSides

Not together, of course...

And last but not least,

FOOTBALL SEASON!

One Kind Soul

Yesterday I was in the Crossroads getting lunch.

I was in the line to check out and when I went to grab my wallet, I realized I didn't have it.

No problem, I just asked the lady to charge it to my school account.

Problem: You need photo i.d to do that.

Bigger problem: I didn't have my wallet, hence, no photo i.d.

As the lady and I were standing there in awkwardness, trying to figure out what to do, the gentleman behind me told the lady he would pay for my lunch.

I was stunned.

In a completely non-creepy, and quite gentlemanly way, he paid for my lunch, and when I asked what I could to do pay him back, he simply said nothing, told me to have a nice day, and walked away.

 

That might be the nicest random act of service anyone's ever done for me.

I wish he knew just how gracious and humbled I am.

Honestly, how many people would do that for a completely random stranger?

Swamped

Between random trips to Provo, the new semester starting, a boy, and trying to get at least six hours of sleep every night, I've been swamped for the past week.

Luckily, I've loved every minute of this crazy week.

It's going to be a great semester.

I can feel it.

Christmas in September

My mind is a little conflicted.

I hear Christmas music and I can't wait for the Holiday's.

I smell nutmeg and crave Egg Nog like no other mother.

I purchase a new pair of boots and am so excited to wear them along with scarves, gloves and coats.

I constantly look up Holiday recipes.... anything with peppermint or pumpkin.

I would kill for some of my mom's homemade divinity and carmels.

But...

I walk outside and soak up every ray of sun that hits my skin.

I get in my car and not being able to breathe due to the heat is one of my favorite things in the world.

I want to buy a new bathing suit and go swimming - a lot.

I want to wear dresses, not jeans.

I could go for anything grilled, especially with barbeque sauce.

Someone help me.

Dear Boys,

You have it so easy and you don't even know.

Here's my case:

Boy likes girl.

Boy asks girl on date.

Girl knows that boy likes girl.

Girl likes boy.

Girl sits around waiting for boy to ask girl on date.

Boy doesn't know that girl likes boy.

This is the one reason that I wish I wasn't such an old fashioned girl.

Unfortunately, I like to do things the traditional way :)
