Having a Bad Day Again?

I must say that I am not completely enjoying school at this point in my life. There are some students that live for studying and going through the entire process. I am NOT one of them. Therefore, I decided to make a bad day list that would make me feel better every time I feel like my day is not going so great. Feel free to add to the list.

1. Only 2 1/2 weeks until Thanksgiving!! Yipee!

2. Gas prices are going down! Wahoo!

3. There are no more election commercials on the radio...I think that makes my day almost 10% better.

4. I always look at people who are having horrible days...and that makes my day feel a bit better...So...hallelujah...my car has not broken down on the side of the highway today.

5. It's fall...and there's no snow on the ground! This is a new concept for me...I just moved to VA from MN about a year and a half ago.

6. I have a 36 pack of Diet Coke in the fridge.

7. I don't have a horrible hair cut or dye job right now....whenever that happens...it makes my days 500 times worse.
That's my list which is pretty sad...you should really add to it!

I'm Waiting For...

I feel like I'm always waiting for something...here's a few things I've been waiting for lately.

1. My bedroom furniture. We bought it in the beginning of October. We didn't get it until Halloween.

2. Baseball season. This is the only sport my husband does not enjoy watching on television. Here's a list of things you can do if your husband/boyfriend is a mega sports fan...

3. Graduation. Oh my word...I CAN NOT WAIT for school to be over.

4. A trip up to MN. I've been craving Rice Krispy Bars with Chocolate on top. No one down here knows what those are. I can't make them right....I'll just have to wait another month I guess.

What are you waiting for?

There's Just Something About Going Green...That I'm Just Not So Sure About!

So it seems that the biggest catch phrase of the decade is "Going Green." It appears that if you are going anywhere...you are "going green." I agree with many aspects of going green, but here are the parts I may not be so sure about.

1. Why is it that only rich people can afford to "be green?" Is it the latest status symbol for adults? Does it not seem to separate the haves from the have-nots? (Ex...well...I only buy organic tomatoes...whereas the ____'s buy normal tomatoes. I must be a better person because I am saving the earth by spending more money."

2. If grocery stores really wanted to save the earth...why did they stop giving the option of paper or plastic? Paper is recyclable...plastic is not. Now WE have to buy a bag to put all of our groceries in. I'm not saying that buying bags to put your groceries in is not smart...yet it also seems like another status symbol.

3. Is it a ploy to make one feel better about oneself? See number one.

4. No matter how hard you try...you can not be perfectly "green" If you want to completely eradicate the effect you have on the environment..you mine as well cease to live. For example...Al Gore is a great advocate of greeness..or is he?

So these are a couple of thoughts that have been provoked over the last week after talking to a couple of people. Don't get me wrong....I'm all about saving the environment...I'm just a little confused as to why "going green" seems to be another area of life that separates the poor from the rich. Am I totally wrong? What do you think about it?

You Might Be Sensitive IF....

You just might be sensitive if...

1. You tear up when you hear the country song "don't laugh at me..don't call me names."

2. You feel slightly bad when your husband's bestfriend and little brother make fun of you on face book.

3. You reach for a kleenex when you spot a car with a "In Memory Sticker" stuck to their back windshield.

4. You cried OUT LOUD at the movie theater while watching Titanic.

5. You want to hug every crying child you see.

6. You shed a little tear when you realize you aren't going to be home for the holidays. (I only did that ONCE)

7. You cry at weddings...even if you don't know the couple.

Okay...so this list is not entirely about me...I may be sensitive..but not THAT sensitive:) Don't make fun of my list or I might cry! j/k.

There's Just Something About Being 26

I've been contemplating my age lately. Here are a few things that I have come up with.

1. The other day I realized that I actually do wonder "where the years went?" In high school I used to wonder where the days went...NOW IT'S YEARS. That freaks me out.

2. I've noticed that if I cross my legs for too long..my leg falls asleep. If I sit on my legs weird...I limp when I'm getting up. That will make any person in their twenties feel ancient.

3. HEART BURN. I had a friend tell me a few months ago that she was experiencing heart burn. I thought that was weird. Now I have heart burn too. I guess it's a part of being 26.

4. I remember my sisters at the age of 26. When I was observing them...I was glad I till had 7 years or ect to go before I turned the big 26. Now I'm that age. For some reason...it kind of creeps me out that 7 years have passed that fast.

5. I must say that although I feel old at my young age...I absolutely love life now! 26 is awesome. The following numbers on my list will be about why I love 26.

6. There's something about 26 because I married my amazing husband at this age. I've never been so happy at any other age.

7. I can now say that I truly only have one year left of school.

8. I became an official homeowner at the age of 26. No more cramped apartments for me! (thanks to my sugar daddy of course :)

9. 26 feels WONDERFUL...even if I do get an occasional bout of heartburn, and my legs cramp up when I sit in weird positions. I can truly say I love being the age of 26.

How do you feel about your age?

RUDENESS!!!

Last week, a few people said some things to me that I considered to be very rude. Here they are. Maybe you can all commiserate with me.

1. A guy in my class asked me for the SECOND time if I was pregnant. SOOOO RUDE. I told him yes. Next time he asks I'm going to say something to make him wonder. (BTW..I'm NOT pregnant). I thought it was a rule of thumb NOT to ask someone if they are with child. That's always a question you should wonder about quietly or get the information from friends. SHEESH...I'm not even fat.

2. Another guy in my class asked me when I was married. I told him that the ceremony was in August. He replied,"Wow...and you are already wearing sweatpants." I have no idea what that comment was supposed to mean? Is he saying that I am letting myself go? I told him that I wore sweat pants BEFORE I was married. I think that stylish sweat pants can be cute. Men. They make me mad.

Well..that's all the rude comments I endured this week...but I'm sure I will have more stories in the future. Did anyone say something rude to you lately?

I Have A Dream

I actually have many dreams...here they are.

1. One day I hope to quadruple my blog hits per day. I know it's a silly dream and it won't really get me anywhere. Nonetheless it's a dream.

2. I once had a dream where I gave birth to 7 piglets. I remember feeling very ashamed in the dream when I didn't think my babies were beautiful.

3. I have a dream of visiting 100 different countries. So far I've been to 8.

4. I used to have a weekly dream about spiders. Yikes...I hate creepy crawlies.

5. I have a dream of getting an A in 301...we'll see how that goes!

6. I also dream of becoming a hair model. This is a newly acquired dream. My hairdresser mentioned it the last time I was at the salon. He took my number and I've been waiting for a call ever since. How cool would it be to get your hair done by a really good professional for free! It would be a DREAM come true.

I have many dreams...tell me what you think about mine...or mention some of yours!
