Summer lovin'

So I guess now that summer is over I should post about how I definitely didn't finish my bucket list. oops. I did, however, do a bunch of other fun things that aren't on that list. So lets begin with this list.

I actually am surprised at how well I did.

I kind of learned to sew, meaning I started a skirt, and then put it on hold when the zipper I got was too long. But I made a cute one for a friend, I will have to get some pictures.

the gym? What? ha I'm a little embarrassed about that one.

So read 3 good books can also mean watch the entire/most of 3 good tv series on netflix right? because that definitely happened...

I'm in 3rd Nephi of the Book of Mormon, so I'm pretty close

apparently girls don't like geo-caching. whatever. I think its cool.

Go out for breakfast? I don't even know what I was thinking.

Also take tons of pics should probably not be crossed off. I slacked a little bit... 

But at least now you all have a pretty good idea of what I did this summer. I also worked on the farm, I helped renovate a super disgusting house, I spent lots of time on the computer.. haha, and ummm just relaxed? I don't know.

Summer was good to me. Now i'm ready to be done with 110 degree weather. Bring on the 60's-70's. I LOVE Autumn. 

And now back to my mountain of Homework. i love college... 

I didn't even do this on purpose

So I was just going through some music, trying to decide what I felt like listening to. Well, I just picked songs and put them in a playlist and this is what happened.

I think my subconscious is trying to tell me something...

I PROMISE I didn't do this on purpose. It got better after that though, don't worry! :) But I definitely had a good laugh after this.

{should I be embarrassed for listening to the Tangled Soundtrack? haha. nah. it's cool.}

TGIF! 

Yippee for productivity!

{ That rhymed and I didn't even mean to. Call me Dr. Seuss. :) }

Anyway! Today I vacuumed, mopped, and dusted my house, cleaned my room, washed my sheets and two other loads of laundry, folded and put away said laundry, and watched Harry Potter. All before lunch! I was feeling pretty good about myself. I guess my family should leave town more often.

Also last night a friend of mine did my fingernails with this really awesome gel-polish. I think I have a new obsession. It feels normal, looks amazing, and stays on for two weeks! The brand of polish she used is called gelish. and I love it. Right now they are super cool Hot Pink. next time I'm thinking this color.

opinions? I just really like glitter.

Also life is just so great. I mean really. There have been a few issues in my life that I have been a little stressed about, like school, jobs, friends, you know the usual stuff. Until recently I had the mentality "I can handle this." I spent days thinking out scenarios, and worrying if things would work out. I have been doing some reading mostly in the scriptures, and I came across a quote I had written down.

Whatever the difficulties confronting us, the weaknesses confining us, or the impossibilities surrounding us, let us have faith in the Son of God, who declared, “All things are possible to him that believeth.”

Elder Neil L. Anderson

What Thinks Christ of Me? April 2012

read the whole article here.

I am letting go of the worry, relieving my stresses, and having faith. I can't even tell you the difference I feel. It was practically immediate that I felt relief. Go ahead. Try for yourself.  

And just remember.

Confessions

So recently I have come to several somewhat shocking realities about myself. I'm going to share with the hope that no one judges. mmk? cool.

1.     I'm slightly obsessed with online shopping.  Really it's unhealthy. but I CAN'T STOP! Just this week I bought this dress. I mean it's so adorable. You can never have too many dresses right? Well I also bought these shoes... I couldn't help myself! I find myself on websites with the cutest clothes all the time. it's a good thing I don't have my credit card number memorized, because the only thing that stops me from buying stuff sometimes is the fact that my purse isn't within my arms reach. yeah... it’s a problem I'm working on...

2.     I spend WAY too much time watching the dumbest shows on Netflix. So I'm a movie-a-holoic. sue me. {is there a support group for people like me?}

3.     Sometimes when I am out in public I like to smile at people. When they actually smile back, well that is one of those moments when the world feels like a good place to be. You know? Smile more often. It's good for you.

4.     I use words like "adorable" and "cute" and sometimes "precious", punctuation like "!!!!" or ".....", and often correct people's grammar in my head WAY too often. future teacher right here.

5.     I'm a chicken. I sincerely don't like trying new things. it's scary. I mean what if I actually like it? What am I supposed to do then? Yep. issues. right here. 

 

Well now you know some of the things that contribute to all this crazy. I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I did writing it. and remember no judging. I know some of you are secretly like "oh man I totally do that too." :)
