Another random thought that really only *I* would care about... I said Facebook 13 times in that last post and 13 is my lucky number. Have a nice day/night all! 

Random thoughts I had today...

First of all... I feel as if my blog is too plain. Like, I see other people's blog and they are so much more elaborate with pictures and what not and cutesy fonts or whatever, but mine is just the same font, same size, same everything. It's kind of annoying. This is why I did this font bigger! SEE ME NOW! ;) 

Okay that big font was too much for me, so we're back to normal. Someday, I will get creative enough to figure things out. Someday... 

Next... I use Facebook! Okay, let me rephrase, I LIVE on Facebook! But sometimes I wonder how many people are just like me and can't live without their computers or social networking. (I also, use blogger and twitter too!) Also, I wonder about those who don't have Facebook, like my cousin for example, she doesn't have Facebook! Sarah I do not know how you could not have Facebook, it is awesome. But seriously, Facebook for other people is used differently than I use it. Basically, I'll admit it... I am a Facebook stalker. If you put up a picture or an album, trust me it is going to get stalked. Chris and I call my "stalking" doing my "dailies". If you're a WoW freak, (which I don't think any of my followers are, so I'll just tell you) there's special tasks/missions/whatevers to complete and you have to do them daily or they reset or something or other (I never played WoW, Chris just told me one day when he was that he had to do his "dailies") soooo... if I don't do these "dailies" they don't necessarily reset, they just become old news. For example, say someone posted a status right now about something crazy weird but I didn't get on Facebook till next Tuesday... that is OLD news and no one gives a crap about the status OR my comment. Hence the reason why I try to stay up to date with my friends on Facebook. Same goes with Twitter too. Twitter is easier to do dailies on cause there's not as many people, and I don't have 500+ followers there as I do on Facebook. WOW, anyways, back to my real thought, see that's what I get for thinking, I go off on these tangents about nothing. Anywho... Facebook is different for some than it is for me. I have friends that I have forgotten if we are even friends anymore, then WHAM, out of the darkness here they come with a status update a month after they had last got on. Then I remember, "Oh yeah, I AM friends with her!" I could never do that and don't even ask me to try. 

Well, that was what I was thinking today. Also, how could a person NOT get on their computer to Facebook? Facebook on your phone all the time, MAN... I would hate that... also, I would hate my phone bill since I'd be on Facebook 24/7 if I had it on my phone! 

All this talk about Facebook makes me want to watch The Social Network again. Funny? Oh yes! 

INTERVENTION

I have a problem... I am addicted to buying gum!!! Count 'em... 14 packs and 15 sticks! Oh yeah, and I have a pack of juicy fruit in my car too! So that makes 15 packs!!! 

Is your favorite kind there??? 

Ok- so maybe my last post makes me sound like a brat. So I apologize! That is one thing I am really struggling with, speaking my mind but coming across as a brat. I am grateful for all of my friends and acquaintances I've made over the course of my days! I am just very confused as to why it seems to me as they aren't as grateful for me. That is just my personal opinion, because maybe when I lived in Orem, I never had time for my friends because I worked a lot and was so caught up in my long distance relationship working out that I couldn't take time for friends that mattered the most to me. 


And maybe I will never know why friends grow apart, and maybe that is just a fact of life. Friends will grow apart at some time and we may not know why or how but they do. Someday I'll understand this concept more fully. 


I apologize for my last post if I may have offended anyone or made them feel less of a friend to me, because that is NOT true. You all are my friends and you've been great examples to me. Thanks so much!

Remember when....

People used to blog all the time and now they don't?! -I do!

People used to text me asking me what's up, wanting to hang out, or how I was doing?! -I do!

People would WANT to talk to me on Facebook and now I have over 500 friends and talk to maybe 15-20ish, MAYBE?! -I do!

People would call me and we'd just talk on the phone for hours about the most random stuff and we'd always vent about things that were bothering us or frustrating us?! -I do!

Man, it's a crazy busy life we live in now a days. Don't you think? There's Facebook, Twitter, Blogging, texting, IM-ing, chat rooms, and so much more! But that's just technology type things! Then you get work, school, sports, relationships, roomates, laundry, shopping, cleaning, and so much more after that.

But why is it that NOW I don't have those little conversations that I once had with my closest friends? Was it because I got a boyfriend? Was it because I moved home and I'm not right there in Orem waiting to hang out with them? Was it because I changed my lifestyle and stopped partying and doing things I wasn't supposed and have gone back to church and love the calling I have? It could be so many things but honestly, why? Why did things have to change? Have *I* changed?

I guess basically what I'm saying is, I miss my friends. I miss knowing what's going on in their lives. I miss the times we had together going to movies, lunch, dinner, parties, or anything else. I've, of course, made new friends... but what ever happened to the friends I had a year ago? A month ago? 5 years ago? Am I missing something?

I hope this is just a phase I'm going through, a learning experience.

I heard a quote once, "Friends come and go, but family is always constant." Maybe my family just needs to be my friends. I'm seeing this quote more true in my life as of late, sad but true.

I just had a wonderfully craptastic day today!!! I had some highlights but mostly it was a down bummed out day. 

Highlights of the day: 

*Watched Kolby and Kord. Kids always seem to brighten my spirits. Even though sometimes I feel like strangling someone! (It wasn't that bad tonight). We played in a tent we made with the bunk beds, watched the end of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, wiped Kordy's nose a bazillion times, and talked some. 

* I decided it would be easier to type up my entire lesson on Sunday and started typing it. I'm not quite done, but I still have a few minutes till bedtime and part of tomorrow to do it. I'll end up getting up early to type the rest but it will be worth it in the end. 

*I text Jo for most of the day. We seem to always talk about the most random things but it's always sure fun. I was in kind of a grumpy mood and she was kind of spunky so I kind of forgot about why I was so grumpy/bummed out today. But then, she went to sleep... and I remembered why I'm so grumpy and now I'm even more grumpy. UGH! 

*I dished up some Rocky Road ice cream. Haven't taken a bite yet but I'm sure it will cure the grumpies I have. 

*It's Jersday! Which is like a holiday for me every single Thursday. That means that one of my favorite shows, Jersey Shore is on tonight. Since I was watching the boys I missed when it came on at 8 and then I have been trying since about 8:45 to get my web cam working, so I missed when it was on again at 9... BUT it's on again at 12... so technically I'll be watching on Friday but who cares? I still get to watch it. 

*Onto my next highlight.... getting my web cam to work. Who knows WHY it's not working but it's not. When I plug it in to my computer it doesn't recognize it, which sucks! Soo... I had to uninstall it which took forever! Then I'm in the process of re-installing it.... which is taking LONGER! Ugh! Why this is a highlight is that I wanted to do everything all by myself. Which I kinda failed at, because I asked Chris one tiny detail... which he couldn't figure out but then I did... so basically I didn't really need him anyways. YAY for trying to fix my computer problems myself. 

It seems as if I didn't really have a craptastic day but I totally did. It was nice weather and I was too grumpy to go out and enjoy it. I'm kind of annoyed with myself, but I can't wait for summer so I can do more things and hopefully, not be so grumpy! 

HOW WAS YOUR DAY???? 

Best Ice Cream flavor goes to....

ROCKY ROAD!

(said in the voice of that guy on The Goonies, I love that show!)

It is just amazing. Chocolate, nuts, and marshmallows all blended into one yummy ice cream!

Mint chocolate chip and pecan praline are close seconds...

What's YOUR favorite ice cream???

OR, if you don't like ice cream, what's your favorite guilty pleasure food you crave the most?

Comment in the comments, duh!

***NERD ALERT***

I am in LOVE with this new game on Facebook! It is called BlockSquad! It is SUPER addicting! What I love most about it is... at the end when you die, your little person cries like a little girl and it is just the cutest little cry. If you have Facebook, you should totally play it and then you will be hooked lol. It's super funny. 

***END NERDY POST***

Somewhat of an update...

Let's see... 


Another lady called me today and asked me if I would clean her house. So starting next week, I will be cleaning her house and this other lady's. I'll alternate every other week for both of them. I'm pretty excited to be making SOME money! I'll be cleaning their houses on Tuesdays. That's really the only free day that I can do it... I'm sure I could pull off a Wednesday, but I kinda want to have one day off. :) The schools sometimes call me too, so I basically have to fit everything in with everyone which is still great and works out pretty well for me. Also, I LOVE watching Jennie's kids still. I am beginning to love it more and more every time I watch them. It's such a learning experience and teaches me so much about little kids. Not like I would want to do it five days a week or whatever... but I love those kids so much. They make me so happy! 


Chris and I are doing good. He's busy working on websites and I'm just trying to stay busy with working and what not. I'm still trying to keep a social life so I get together with my friend Jo and we watch Glee on Tuesdays! Last night she slept over, we played Phase 10, and watched The Social Network. It was a pretty relaxed night but we had a lot of fun talking about anything and everything. I've been doing good at keeping a good bedtime, so for now I will end this blog... maybe if I have enough time when I'm done babysitting, I'll blog tomorrow. Until then, sweet dreams blogging world. 


PS. If I decided to do a video blog... how many of you would watch or follow? Just a thought right now... 

As of lately....

I have been intrigued by dreams and what they mean. Since my dreams are so scattered anyways and confusing, I decided I would look up what certain points in my dreams mean, different things that I notice in the scenery, the people there, and how everyone interacts with each other. I found this site the other day and I just love it. It won't interpret your entire dream but if you type in some keywords it will. For example, if you type in say birds, it will say something to the effect of symbolizing your goals and aspirations, that weights have been lifted off your shoulders and you feel free. It's amazing how true they are and how they do in fact tell truth to your dreams. Call me crazy but I am fascinated with dreams. 

(Totally ignore the picture. I wanted to do a picture so my blog would stand out and it wouldn't be all wordy and stuff, new goal I am trying. So I found this image in Google images. I still don't like cats.)
