HEY

I'm almost to my 100th post..exciting..i just thought I'd post a blog about that..what should i do for my 100th..i need ideas!

I Want To Be Nephi

I already posted for today, but I felt inspired to write another post. I found out today that the transmission in my car needs to be replaced. It's going to cost $2300, but my car is only worth $2000 at most. Basically my car is crap now. Then when I got home and checked the mail I found a letter from my car insurance. One of the people that was involved in my car accident is sueing me....for $75,000. $8000 is doctor bills, everything else is money she thinks she deserves from pain and suffering. This lady is ridiculous. If you don't know the story I was going about 35 and hit the back of an SUV which slid about 5 feet forward and hit the lady that's sueing me. Her car had no damage and after the accident she jumped out of the car to run around and take pictures. As soon as the ambulence arrived she flopped on the ground and started screaming. She was faking the entire time. It's pretty ridiculous that we're being sued for this and my mom and I are very stressed. We were sitting on the couch and I suggested we read scriptures. In times of trial why wouldn't you want to be comforted by the Spirit that comes with reading your scriptures. We've decided to read through the book of mormon since neither of us have yet. I'm very familiar with the first couple chapter in 1 Nephi. I have started reading the book of mormon multiple times and always quit by about 2 Nephi so 1 Nephi sticks in my mind. Today, however, something stood out in my mind. In the second chapter they start to talk about Laman and Lemual and how the murmur against Lehi. While reading I remebered and institute class I went to that discussed this. During the class the teacher asked us who we wanted to be: Nephi or his brothers. When we are put through trials do we want to stay steadfast and true or are we going to murmur about our unfortunate circumstances. I don't know about you, but I definately want to be Nephi. A few nights ago I was hanging out with Shelby who was telling me this story about a mother and her daughter. I can't remember exactly what was wrong, but the daughter had some sort of illness. Her mother often prayed and asked "Why Me?" She couldn't stop asking why Heavenly Father had put her and her daughter through this trial. What had she done wrong? One day she walked by her daughters room and saw the words "Why Not Me?" Her daughter accepted her trial knowing that Heavenly Father would not put her through anything she wouldn't be able to overcome and instead of asking Him "Why Me?" she asked "What can I do to make the best of my trials?" I'm not going through a terminal illness, I'm not going to die, and overall I have a very good life. I'm going through an unfortunate event in my life, but I'm determined to be like Nephi.

I Have The MacLeod Luck

So yesterday was Sunday. I love Sundays. They're so relaxed and just chill. I got up and started to get ready but ran into a problem. I couldn't find my flats! Usually I don't wear flats on Sundays, I'm almost always in heels. But, I went to church with Mr. Amazing and needed some flats. Since I couldn't find my flats I was forced to wear heels. Poor us, we looked like such a weird couple. Anyways, while at church I went to help Chey with his primary class. Talk about being unprepared. He totally wings it. It's insane. Anyways, after he the kids all hyped up on tootsie rolls he gave the white boards and marker. By this point the kids were bouncing off the walls. They were hi from sugar and marker fumes. He's such a great teacher. Haha k they weren't really lol but still. Anyways after we dropped the kids off on some poor unsuspecting teacher we went to a farewell for a guy I used to work with. The building was forever away and by the time we got there we couldn't even get a seat inside cuz it was so packed. Then we went back to Mr. Amazing's house and he made me a PB&J. If that's all it took to be a great cook he'd be a master lol. After that I went home and slept. I love sleeping. It's one of my favorite things to do. Right after hanging out with Chey and Shelby and eating. :) Last night after my lovely nap we had dinner and then watched Seven Pounds. It was really good.

So then this is where the title comes in. I had such a lovely morning! I woke up at 7 to go swim at the gym. When I got there I was the only one under the age of 60. So I started off on my swim. I did one whole lap. I know I'm pathetic. Anyways it's a work in progress. Then I came home and got ready for school and work and such. I got in my car ready to start my day. All of a sudden my car went bizerk! Holy crap! So I pulled off to the side and parked. I thought for sure if I turned it off and let it sit for a second it would be ok. After a few minutes I restarted it and tried to pull out of the parking spot. But my stupid ghetto car wouldn't go in reverse. It just sat there. I shut it off again and called Chey and my mom. Chey came to my rescue and used his huge muscles to push my car out of the parking spot so I could drive it to the dealership. He's such a manly man! What a stud! MY HERO! Anyways. I found out later that Chey told someone he couldn't go to class because he had a family emergency. WTF! I blame him for my car breaking down. It worked fine untill he said that and then what do you know...family emergency. Not really cuz we're not techinically family...yet. Haha. So now I'm sitting in my mom's class room waiting to go to work because my boss refused to let me call off. Did I mention I'm in sweats. Ya I look like crap. But we might trade in my car..can you say UPGRADE! Tonight I'm helping Chey bake so that should be fun. I'm sure we'll be bouncing off the walls from all the sugar..but that's ok. We can be so immature sometimes. We went to the store to grab some food and while we were there Chey decided it would be funny to point a lazer at everyone's butt. Immature? Yes. Fun? HECK YES! So that's my life. I'll keep eveyrone updated on the car situation. Hopefully I'll be cruisin in a Toyota Tacoma soon!!!!

Shtuff

So today I had yet another facebook incident...the husband sent me a message asking me why i denied his friend request. Hmmm..interesting. Than I was catching up on how everyone's doing and I realized I hadn't heard anything from an old friend. He is supposed to be turning in his papers soon so I thought I'd check out his profile to see what's been going on. But he deleted me as a friend. Not that big of a deal but kind of ironic considering he made a huge huge HUGE deal about how he wanted to stay best friends for our whole lives. Not to mention I stayed friends with him through out all the ups and downs of the last 2 years of his life. I guess he can't do the same for me. But that's perfectly fine because I have all the best friends I need right now and they are amazing. Anyways the point of all that is I'm deleting my facebook. No one talks to me on it anyways and it's done nothing but caused drama for the past week so Bye-Bye facebook.

In other news.

I just woke up from an interesting nap about 5 minutes ago. It was ok. But I had a disturbing dream. Woke up in a cold sweat and everything. In my dream I was trying to nap and when I finally woke up I walked out of my room to find my very rude boss hanging out with my mom. Scratch that..she was going through my mom's closet trying to find some clothes to borrow. Like they were best friends or something. Seriously disturbing. Then in the dream I went out in the kitchen to eat the dinner my mom had made which was a sandwich called a Baltimore Maryland. Strange right. Let me explain what this thing was since I don't think it even exists. It was kind of like a meatball marinera except instead of marinera there was beef gravy. It was weird. You might be sitting there thinking, Why are you dreaming of a sandwich like that? Well I'm not sure why I dreamed of a sandwich in the first place...I'm a fatty and am always thinking of food, but other than that I don't know the reason. However, it was called a Baltimore Maryland because in school today my professor brought that up. I have no idea why. She was using it for an example that I can't remember. But I spent the last 20 minutes of class thinking about Baltimore, Maryland. Mainly because I kept thinking that Baltimore was in Deleware. I don't it was all very strange.

Now that I'm up I'm going to jump in the shower and then cook dinner for my family (Baltimore Marylands anyone?!? jk) Then I'm going to go out with Shelby and Chey. We're gonna go ride go-carts. It should be a jolly good time and I will make sure to take lots of pictures :)

I Pity You

Dear Unmentionable,
For the past week I have been experiencing a new kind of feeling for you. The bitter disrespect for what you did to your now ex-boyfriend has been replaced with nothing but pity. You see I always knew you were a wench and frankly not the smartest person on the planet. You had an amazing guy that most girls only dream of having and you lost him because of your own selfish stupidity. You hurt him, and though everyone gets hurt at one point or another I didn't like you for it. You also gave him up. You decided to move on and start a life with someone else without any regards to what it would do to the people around you. However, I benefited greatly from your loss. I ended up with him. I, unlike you, see what an incredible guy he is and I will hold on to him forever. I love him more than anyone can imagine and I'm am happier than I have ever been since we started dating. I have you to thank for that. But, like I said, my feelings and opinions have changed towards you. It annoyed my when I found out you were still trying to talk to him. You are married and therefore should have no interest in his life at all. That is what happens when you get married. You slide into your own world where the only people that inhabit it are you and your husband. You, however, failed to do this. You continued to interrupt the lives of those you have no business with anymore. Eventually we stopped hearing from you and all was well...until last Saturday. Valentine's Day. What a day to pick. I innocently signed on facebook and there you were in my friend request box. At first I had no idea who you were so I sent you a message asking if I knew you. Soon, though, I figured it out and I accepted you at first to gander at the man you chose over your ex. Your stupidity really shines through on this choice. Honestly what were you thinking. That's not the point tho. I quickly deleted you from my friends only to find a day later that you had replied to my oh so innocent message.

"not really but since your boy was my boy for 5 years and was going to marry me i thought that i would see what he is in to now that i am married to someone else..."

This along with a snide remark about his past was sitting in my inbox on Tuesday morning. You also delighted him with a message as well. What makes you think that because you dated him for 5 years you should have any say in who he sees now. And you are married to someone else. Shouldn't you be a little more worried about your life with your husband, not your ex's life. Seems logical to me, but as I stated before, my opinion on your intelligence isn't the best. I had many comments I wanted to add to your little reply, but I refrained, refusing to stoop to an immature level. However, you were not satisfied by this. The next day Chey and I found friend requests yet again. Apparently being deleted wasn't enough for you, you wanted your request to be ignored as well. By now any semi-logical person would have given up. I say semi-logical because this entire situation wasn't logical to begin with. But even in your state of insanity that drove you to this point, you should've given up. However, today when I logged onto facebook I saw yet another friend request. I opened it knowing fully what was going to be in there, but was oddly shocked. Sitting in the place of your picture and name was a new picture, yet the same name. Your husband sent me a friend request. You have now reached a new level of pathetic. Is your life honestly so measly that you need to harass your ex-boyfriend and his new girlfriend AND drag your husband into it. My dear, not only did you make a huge mistake by passing up someone as amazing as Chey, you are in the midst of making yet another mistake. You are going to lose the man who is now in your life because you are stuck in the past. When this entire thing started I was very angry at you, but that anger has been replaced by pity. I pity you that you now have a life that you obviously aren't enjoying, I pity the fact that you have to try and harass your ex, his family, and his girlfriend just to make your life seem better than it is, and I pity your poor husband for falling into your trap and having to be hurt by you because you are not over your ex. I want you to know that I am praying for you. I'm praying that you, now realizing your mistake, will soon get over it and try to be happy with the person you married. I'm praying that you will be as happy in your life as Chey and I are in ours. And I'm praying that one day you will mature and realize that this whole scenario has been very childish and potentially hurtful on your part. I hope you have a nice life.

Wow I'm Stressed

Lately I have been stressed. This is pretty normal for me I stress a lot, but it still sucks. Mainly I've been stressing about school. I (like a retard) decided to take all my hardest classes in my first semester of college. Smart right..I know. Well 2 of my classes are giving me a really hard time. And it sucks. I failed a test in one of them today. So on my way home I decided I was going to go shoe shopping. I was basically just going to blow my money on something I really could do without. Cuz let's face it, that makes everyone feel better..untill the bill comes and you stress about money. Anyways. On my way to the oh-so-wonderful-shoe-store I heard a song by Taylor Swift called The Best Day. A few weeks ago I saw an interview of her on the song and how it meant a lot to her because it's about her mom and she recorded it without her mom knowing and when she saw it her mom cried. Well knowing that and then listening to the song I started thinking about all the things my mom does for me and what a great rolemodel she is in my life. Without her I don't know what I'd do. The song almost made me cry. So I decided to use my "shoe money" for something better. I ran to the store and bought flowers, a card, and reese's (her favorite) and had them delivered to my mom's work. :) She loved it!! YaY!

Tonight I'm hoping I can go workout with Shelby. I need to get some frustration out. I really wanna go play soccer. Like a full on game. I miss it so much. The kicking and sliding and running and beating the crap outta girls (oh wait that's not legal..nvm). Anyways ya I miss it. If I wasn't so dang outta shape and the sole of my cleat wasn't half falling off I'd go play. Chey and I were talking the other night about how unfair it is that all these new soccer fields are going up. Why didn't we have such awesome fields when we were still playing. Srsly. It sucks. But whatever.

Last night I had a dream that I went back to work at Aliante. That was very strange. I thought I'd share that with everyone!

Some Cute Title

I love the show FRIENDS! Honestly its so hilarious!

Anyways, I'm still pretty stressed about some school issues. Computers are retarded i've decided. Along with teachers that don't speak English! It sucks! I have a test in biology tomorrow that I'm pretty sure isn't going to go well. I figure if I can at least get a C I might be ok! Who knows though! YIKES! I wish I could just take the classes that I really like. I've always wanted to become a teacher: High School expecially. Originally I was going to be a biology teacher, but recently I changed my mind to a subject I never liked: English. I hated english in school. Hated it with a passion. I didn't like to read and I hated writing papers. But during the semester I took off I did a lot of reading and definately a lot of blogging. I read somewhere that writing has to be practiced just like everything else. I've always been a pretty good writer, but I never liked it. But now I LOVE IT! This last paper that I wrote was the most interesting thing I've done in school in a long time. Why can't I just say "Screw Biology" and take english for every credit! Seriously I don't think I would have any problem with that!

The other day in english we were talkinga bout the importance of commas! Commas don't seem very important right but check this out.

Take this one sentence for example:

Woman without her man would be nothing.

Commas allow you to punctuate this sentence to mean very different things. For example, I would most definately punctiate like this:

Woman, without her, man would be nothing!

Nice right! But you could disagree and punctuate it like this:

Woman, without her man, would be nothing.

Obviously we know the first choice would be the most appropriate for any occasion. Hahaha well anyways, I'm sure this is a very boring blog. Who really wants to read about reading! I know. I'm boring! I can't help it though. But the point of this whole thing is that sometimes you go years thinking your life is going to end up one way and the next second you change your mind. Ans how amazing is it that we are allowed to change our minds! We live in a country that allows us to do whatever we want! And the last thing I realized through this is that people have very lasting impressions on you. I had never even heard of blogging until Shelby introduced it to me! I'm not as blog savvy as she is but I've still grown to love it! Now when I look back on my life 30 40 50 years from now and think "Why did I decided to major in English" I can think back to that lasting impression that Shelby left on me!

That's all for now. I'm going to go eat and do other things.

I Was Pondering

I realized something yesterday! I was sitting at Shelby's looking for a recipe to make for dinner. She got on a blog of a person that she has started to admire. I haven't read this girl's blog but from what I hear she is a pretty amazing person. I started to think about the blog's that Shelby and I have started lurking and wondered why we stalk them. They're lives are interesting and they are awesome people. I was sitting there reading a blog the other day when I started thinking about the things I could do that would make me seem as awesome as some of the people I blog stalk. Then I realized. In the blogging world we often look for inspiring stories that other people tell that inspire us to do something amazing with our lives. However, we rarely think about who could be blog stalking us. The internet is a big place and though it might not be apparent to us there is probably someone out there who is reading our blogs and thinking, "Wow this person is amazing! I wish I could do something to be more like them." We often look to other's and want to live there lives or do something comparable with ours. But how often do we think about the effect we have on other people. Instead of looking at other people and how much more awesome they are than us we should look more at ourselves and see our lives for what they really are: Awesome. I'm not saying that we shouldn't look to other people for inspiration, because more often than not others influence us to do amazing things with our lives. All I'm saying is as you read someone else's blog and think to yourself: Why can't my life be like their's? realize that just as you are admiring their blog, someone is admiring yours and you are effecting their life to.

You Ate Your Dinner For Lunch!

So nothing has been going on in my life. I'm boring I know. Obvoiusly that's an exaggeration, but nothing of importance has been going on. Just school and the same old boring job. Let me think of something that has happened that I can share with you...................



Oh so the other night Mr. Amazing and I decided to go to the park just because. When we got there a truck was sitting in the parking lot. THe truck was running and the people were obviously inside it but they weren't leaving. Then a few minutes later I realized there were some articles of clothing left on a bench in the park! I ran do to see what was there and the truck immediately started to leave. There was a guys jacket and a girls jacket. It would've been much more entertaining if a pair of pants or something had been there but I wasn't that lucky. Anyways, I decided the 2 were probably fornicating in the park and Chey and I ruined it for them so in a rush they ran to their truck and left their clothes on the bench. Scandelous. One day they will look back at that experience and laugh about how 2 people ruined their fun at the park and I have satisfaction knowing a played a part in such a story. Anyways, while we were at the park I was leaning against a ladder. Mr. Amazing was trying to mess with me so I flinched back and smacked my head into the ladder! OUCH! I seem to hurt myself a lot when I'm around him because he messes with me. He's so abusive! Just kidding he's not. However the guys at DI are. I'm starting to get welts. I came home last Saturday all upset about his and told my mom all about it. Then I went out and she called me. She said, "Did you tell Chey about the guys beating you up?" "Yes Mother why?" "Well...is he going to do something about it?"



My mother is so funny sometimes. What did she expect him to do? Get in a steaming mad rage and rush down to DI, demand that the beaters step forth and fight them all to the ground?! She is so silly sometimes.



In other news, last night I went to Michaels and spent lots and lots of time there. I think we paced the store about 3 or 4 times (maybe more). We even went down the wedding aisle. Suprisingly Chey did not drag me out shaking his head or even run away (altho it would've been hard to run away since I drove). Either way I have such an amazing boyfriend. I spent all night working on crafting things that I'm so excited about! YAY!



Also Friday is our "Valentine's Day". Ya we're cool and we shake things up by doing V-day the week before. Live with it. Friday morning I think we're going to get up and drive out to BFE (that's like a perfect diagnal on the keyboard!) and get breakfast borrito's. Then we're going to drive out to the other side of BFE and ride the roller coaster and stuff at Primm. Then we'll probably go home and get ready and then we're going to dinner (I don't know where and he says its going to be a suprise but I think he's just not sure where he's taking me) then we're riding the gondolas (however you spell it) then we're going to see KA. So it should be a pretty fun night I'm excited. I also wanna take lots and lots of pictures because sadly we don't have any good ones of the 2 of us. I told Shelby this and she mentioned that she could take pics of us to...yay..so i'll have lots of pictures! I'm so jazzed! bahahaha i just said jazzed..that's lame

In other news..today while I was driving to school I saw the most ridiculous thing ever..this idiot dude was riding down the I-15 on just his back wheel. I swear people can be retarded sometimes.

The other day I was listening to Brian Regan in my car..if you haven't heard him you should go look him up because he's hilarious..anyways he talks about how you can be walking and all of a sudden a bee will attack you..and the people around you start looking at you like your insane because they see you freaking out but they NEVER see the bee..this happened to me today while I was walking to my car and half of UNLV was standing next to me. Luckily know on knows me and if anyone I know had been there I would've just ran i think.

So today was my grandma's 39th birthday! yup she's rad. So we went to her house to visit. While we were there some pretty funny stuff happened. She was going out tonight so my grandpa asked what he was going to do for dinner since she wouldn't be there to cook. She said you already had dinner. He said, "really when I don't remember that." "Ya you had leftovers, you ate your dinner for lunch." K maybe it was a "you had to be there thing" but it was hilarious trust me.

Anyways, that's all for my boring life! Woo Hoo
