Happy Hump Day!

     Let´s see, so...I went bowling again last night. Ha. Yes, I went on a double date on a TUESDAY! Weird, I know, but I need the distraction. School is stressful, and obnoxious, and almost over for the semester! Yay!!!
     Guess what's weirder though, I actually was pretty good. Even got a few strikes. Ha, no way! Yes, way...look at me, oh yes. We all decided to make bets and wage if we won. Our winner's wage was the losers had to eat a tablespoon of cinnamon...BUT then we played for all or nothing, and someone else won. so, then we were all assumed safe, but one of us, for some reason unknown to me, STILL  wanted, HE WANTED to eat the cinnamon. So we hobbled back to my dwellings and I handed him a tablespoon of cinnamon and we got the video camera ready.
     Immediately upon placing the spice inside his mouth he spoke with puffs of cinnamon, "This is awful." Haha, and it continued in this manner, with moans and groans of suffering until he had swallowed it all. Of course, he insisted upon the need for a glass of water, and swore he'd never do that again! It wasn't so much the burn of it that hurt, but how dry his mouth went right after the pile of spice made contact with his tongue. The poor thing...he asked for it though. Literally. Though, it was still very entertaining.

     For the second time this week I have been able to walk out my front door WITHOUT a coat! The day is so nice and sunny, and warm! It's grand. I'm so excited for Spring, and of course for my next Stitch Fix box. I wonder what will be inside!
      I love shopping, I really do, I just don't seem to have time for it, and when I do I don't know what I want to look for. I mean, the most organized thought in my head is: "Something cute that I would wear". Not very organize and concrete, is it? So, I turned to Stitch Fix, and so far, I really like it. Girls, try it out, I think you'd love it. For those of you who are stuck with the same conundrum. Pictures this time around, I promise. :)

My five of the day...

1. Sunshine is lovely and gives me so much more energy! I don't understand you people from Oregon who don't appreciate it as much as I do.

2. Reese's Peanut Butter Oreo's are actually really tasty. Though I still prefer the original oreo any day.

3. Whenever your teacher inserts a video in with the lecture it makes the hour so much more bearable. Love it!

4. Bowling is more fun when you keep practicing

5. Food is amazing. Don't take it for granted.

Happy Hump Day! Friday is almost here!

Cheers,

I Made a March Madness Bracket!

    You won't believe it, but I made a bracket. I never do that, this is the first time I've ever been motivated in any kind of fashion to do such thing. It's weird, because for the most part, I'm not into the whole basketball season. Football in the Fall is more what I pay attention to in sports if anything at all besides my homework projects. Ha.

     I don't know, my uncle just sent me the link to the website for a family group. We're all in competition against each other apparently. Every man/woman for him/herself! But now I must know, what's the prize? Really. If you're going so far as to make a family competition, there's got to be some loot of some kind for someone to collect in the end. Right?...

Until I know the end results it's enjoying the Spring weather and  updating my wardrobe with my Stitch Fix box pieces. My next one is coming in a couple weeks! Yay!

Here is my list of five for the day!

1. The weather is SO nice outside today! It's supposed to get up to 73 degrees today!

2. I LOVE it when I only have one class out of three to go to. Two of my classes were cancelled today!

3. Writing is really fun, I love it when the words just flow right off my fingertips. :)

4. I watched "The Sandlot" last night. One of the funniest movies I've ever seen.

5. Only four weeks left in the semester!

Heres to another great week!

Cheers!

Day #4: This Is Not Going How I Hope...

     Well, I broke again yesterday. Unfortunately I chose to vent (again) about how frustrating my personal life is, BUT hey I was looking for advice and inspiration! This particular girl is wonderful and helping me through the tough times (she knows who she is). Needless to say, I got some good advice, and feel a little better in spirits now. :)

     I should stop coming up with excuses though. Pushing through this is how I'm going to end up achieving my goal, not by making exceptions.

With no further ado:

1. I woke up today with no seizures bothering me!

2. I had a delicious turkey sandwich on an everything bagel for lunch today.

3. The sun is out today!

4. My scars are healing up nicely, and now I get to start using vitamin E oil on them. That helps them even more! :)

5. I'm STILL excited to get my NEXT StitchFix box. :)

Happy Adventures!

Day #2: My First Complaint In 24 Hours...and Utah dating standard

     I was doing SO well! Then I got on a really touchy subject with my coworker, and the flood gates opened. I broke, and without even realizing it, I started complaining...

     All it was about is how it seems that no one in Utah really understands the simplicity in asking someone on a date. It's not the hard when you really think about it. Unfortunately we've been raised by culture and stamped candy grams, and corny cleverness as the default standard for asking someone for one Saturday night. Sad isn't it? Then when it's comes to young adulthood, text messaging is your new standard. Yes, I have been asked out by this method. Haha.
     Of course, I understand if you can't ask the individual out in person, but if that is the case, then is when you grab your phone, CALL them, and ask them in that personal manner. So much better, right? None of this texting thing. Blech. BUT it could be worse. It could've been over facebook, or through another person, heaven forbid.

     To help myself with this Complaint Restraint Project, I've decided it'd be a good idea to identify at least five things that are positive about my day, myself, or whatever. And to focus on those things when I'm ever tempted to complain. Sounds like a plan, right?

Ok, so...

1. The sun was out when I woke up this morning! And it's STILL out now!

2. I haven't spilled any food on my black blazer today. Which we all know, wearing black clothing of any kind always seems to be hazard for spills and stains. So, this in of itself is a miracle.

3. I've been wearing less makeup lately while my scars heal over (again). I'm not going to lie, it looks and feels pretty good. :)

4. I got paid today!

5. AND my first Stitch Fix box arrived today! So excited to see what's in it!

How'd I do? Do I feel better? Yes!

Now it's your turn. Try and find five things about today that are awesome and see how you feel.

Cheers!
