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.)

* A PICTURE OF YOU AND A FAMILY MEMBER * 

 I'm sure there might be more pics of me and family members (cousins) but I was too lazy to creep on people's Facebook or blogs to find them. So, the first one is of Matt and I. I think it was at a birthday party last year, but I'm not sure. This picture is a typical one of us... he's always picking on me and he really does love me. You can see that he's taller than me too... yeah... my LITTLE brother is bigger than me. Oh well. I still love him. 

This one is of Sarah and I at the movies. I can't remember for the life of me what movie we saw though....was it Clash of the Titans? I think it was that. We went to Olive Garden for lunch, then that movie afterwards. It was a lot of fun to spend time with her. It always is! We lived together for almost a year after we got out of high school, I was her maid of honor at her wedding, and we have an ongoing competition of who is Kaylin's favorite auntie. (Kaylin told me that Sarah was her favorite, but I don't believe her! HAHA, just kidding Sarah... you've gotta be someone's fave!) Sarah has always been there for me through thick and thin and is a super fun cousin to hang out with. Her and I like similar things like: shopping, eating out, going to the movies, watching movies, same music, and playing with the Murphy kids. She's one of my best friends and I love her dearly. Thanks for being such a great friend and cousin to me Sarah. I only wish we saw each other a lot more than we do. Love you cuz! 

* A PICTURE OF SOMETHING YOU'RE AFRAID OF*

Being alone! I am scared to be alone. I hate being home alone, driving at night alone, sometimes sleeping alone, going to the movies alone, going shopping alone, and having the people close to me not being there; which therefore makes me be alone. It's a sad feeling, but I don't like to be alone for a long time. I mean, of course we all need our personal alone time, but I live for people's attention and interaction with people.

MICE! I hate the way they look, I hate the way I can hear them sometimes but never see them, I hate the way when I do see them it freaks me out, and I hate the sick feeling I feel when I see or hear them. Just plain gross! EW!

Ladders! I try to avoid going on ladders at all costs. Especially ones like the one in this photo. Ones that are more stationary I could be fine with going up maybe 2-3 rungs... but ladders like this... I DON'T THINK SO!

Heights! And also... probably on a tight rope over tons of traffic between two buildings. (I've never tried it but assuming I'm afraid of heights... probably NEVER going to happen.) I do like going on some roller coasters that are high up though. BUT... ones that stop at the top or hang you off a building or an edge of some sort... NO THANK YOU! I just don't like looking down when I am far up.

This picture doesn't really display what I'm afraid of but it was the best I could do. I think it looks like I would be afraid of aliens, trees, or the dark. If you guessed the last one, you would be correct-o-mundo! I am indeed afraid of the dark. I am 23 years old and I sleep with a night light. Also, I live in the basement and it's fairly dark going from the stairs to my room. So... instead of turning on every light before I get to my room, I've got two night lights; one in the hall and one at the bottom of the stairs. And also, the one in my room. I also have to sleep with my baby blanket for comfort. No matter where I am, that blanket comes with me. And yes, I have taken it to Canada! One time I took it into a movie theater because I wanted the blanket to comfort me. By the way, the movie was Black Swan. (not that scary, tbh!)

On that note, scary movies! Totally afraid of them! My blanket will always be there if I am watching a scary movie. And as if my dreams weren't scary enough, I don't need scary movies to make them more scary. By the way, in my dreams... I kill people. People from my past, like old friends in grade school, friends from a few years back, exes, and even family members. Yes, I am a freak, so scary movies... I don't need 'em!

Getting in a car accident! That just plain freaks me out! That picture is just so scary to me! I couldn't even imagine being in an accident, a really serious one! I would have a panic attack for sure and have some sort of post traumatic stress afterwards, because I've had this fear of getting into an accident for so long. I see on T.V. that accidents happen A TON, and I am just so fearful. It's scary to think about.

AND... this.... REALLY?

* A PICTURE THAT CAN ALWAYS MAKES YOU SMILE*

 I decided to do two pictures. Totally random but both of these pictures were from the same weekend. The first one was at temple square and Chris and I were taking a silly one, then all of a sudden behind us came my friend Briana (she was with us that day too) and made that face in the background. It was so funny! And I can't help but smile each time I see this picture. 

The next one was when we were going to see District 9 and we were stopped at a stop light and took this picture. It is of us trying to be gangster or as Chris would say... "G'z" (wow...). Chris looks more gangsta than me... and I just look ridonk! But it's funny. 

So there's this picture game 30 day challenge going around, I don't think I am going to play along with the picture thing, BUT I will tell some stories about a few of the things, since I don't have pictures for most of the days but I feel like I am a good storyteller. So we'll see how it goes.

*A PICTURE OF SOMEONE YOU MISS*

This is my best friend Jenny. She is on a mission in Oregon right now. She has been gone a month tomorrow. She's doing super well and loving the work. She is a great missionary and I know she will continue to do her best and bring many people into the church. She is a kind person and would give anyone the shirt off her back. She is loyal, sincere, genuine, is VERY blunt, honest, and loving. Maybe that's why she is my best friend.

But, I miss her! I know that she is out serving the Lord and doing what he is asking of her to do. I really miss that whenever I'm having a hard time I can't just call her or text her like I used to, I'd have to write her a letter and wait for the response back a few days later. It's very hard because I haven't received a letter since she's been in Oregon (since January 24). It's like should I write her another letter cause maybe she didn't get mine? But if I write her another letter then when I send it I get her letter same day or the next day. It's so confusing. I'm praying for success to be in her favor and safety of course. I miss her a lot.

Song of the day- Hold My Hand

This song has a special meaning to me. I love Michael Jackson! I'm glad that they released this single. Click this link to watch the music video. 26 million views? Go MJ!
