Maybe if I spoke Spanish...

  

I have a total of two channels.
They look like this:

....................fuzzy spanish channel

            blue screen of death............................

Thanks heavens my internet and DVD player work.

By the way, if anyone knows how to correctly hook up a television for local channels........well........let me know.

Fo-taw-gruffy

Remember how I used to be really good at taking millions of pictures for every event that ever happened in my life?
I just realized that I now kind of suck at that.
Not really sure what happened.
I am now making a resolution to change that.
I am going to get better again at taking pictures.
Keep your fingers crossed.....and maybe don't hold your breath quite yet.

In the meantime, here are a few songs that I have been slightly in love with lately...I hope you love them!
...
...
I mean...I guess it's okay if you don't love them. That's just something we'll have to work through together.
Also, I'm always game for new music, so any suggestions? I'll take 'em!

I'm Soooo Happy! ....For You!

:Disclaimer:
I am about to talk about relationships and marriage and stuff.
And I am a single woman.
Just...brace yourself.
It's not going to be all sappy or a pity party.
Just some of my thoughts.
It feels like lately most of my friends have been getting engaged, or married, or are having babies.
It used to be that whenever I would see a new post on Facebook announcing something like that, I would just give the complimentary "like" and move past it without giving it another thought.
I realized this a month or so ago, and stopped to wonder why I did that.
I came to the conclusion that I have conditioned myself to do so, so that I won't get jealous or upset.
Because I know that is the typical response for a young single adult woman, and I refuse to be that person.
I don't want to be angry or bitter about being single.
Especially because there are so many great things about being single.
But in the Church, getting married and having a family is something that is constantly being stressed to us.
Which is fantastic.
But I think it tends to make some singles feel like failures.
Anyhow, I digress.
So as I was evaluating why I had turned off my emotional valve, I decided to open that up and see what happened.
You want to know what happened?
I just felt so happy for all my friends who are at that point in their lives!
Like, ridiculously happy.
I was almost giddy.
These people that I love and care about so much are just living the dream!
I have had many conversations with most of these people about someday finding "the one", and having families, and what our lives will look like in the coming years.
It's just so exciting to me to see that it actually does happen!
It's not just a myth that happens to "other" people.
And I know that through the process of elimination, eventually it will be my turn.
Not in the near, foreseeable future.
But I know that when it does happen, all my friends and family will be just as happy for me as I am for them.
I am just so glad that I decided to switch my emotions back on.
Because even though this happiness is for someone else's sake, it is very real.
And any true happiness is fine by me!



Just a small handful of my close friends and their beautiful lives :)

Do you ever have those days where you can't remember if you brushed your teeth?
Oops.

Here I sit at work.
Bored.
I got done with everything by 7:30.
I don't get to leave until 9:00.
So I'm browsing the internet.
Well...browsing the limited sites that are allowed through the filter.
Thank you, HCA, for not letting me check Facebook.
Or Pinterest.
Boo.
I can blog-stalk, but for some odd reason, most blogs aren't updated every few minutes.
Shame.
So I was thinking maybe I would update my blog.
But, my life is not exciting.
Nothing to report.
Same ol, same ol.
Hence, what I'm about to post is not super exciting.
But it made me smile.
About an hour ago, an older gentleman came to ask me a question.
He wanted my opinion on a Chinese resteraunt just down the street.
Well, I've never been there, so I was no help.
He decided to go give it a shot anyway.
He left, and I thought nothing else of it.
Just now, he showed up with a few brown paper sacks filled with Asian food.
He plopped one on my desk, and said:

"One spring roll. Do you have a piece of paper? Write down my email, and then let me know what you think!"
So I did.
I have to wait until I get off work to eat it...
But when I do, I'm sure going to email him.
I was just amazed at the thoughtfulness.
It's just one small spring roll.
But he did not have to do that.
It would have been easy not to.
But it wasn't hard to do, either.
It makes me think that I really need to get in that mindset.
It's really not hard to think more of others.
To do small acts of kindness.
It doesn't take up that that much more time in a day.
Or that much more energy.
In fact, it could be argued that it gives more than it takes.
So thank you, kind sir, for the spring roll.
I'm going to do my best to pass it on.

I do love sparkles, but......

Sweatpants and sparkly Toms.

I, for one, would not choose this as acceptable wear in the public.

And I have pretty low standards for being a presentable human being.

After all, I am a dancer who lives in sweats whenever and wherever possible.

So wear the sweats.

I have no problem with sweats.

But sparkly Toms?
With the sweats?
Don't try to cover up your lazy day with some foot bling.

But hey.

I'm no fashionista.

Do what you want.

Just know that I'm totally judging you.

Just kidding....kind of.

Watch This.

Watch this video. Just watch it.
