lemonade life- easy to please.

I really feel like I am so easy to please. I would like to think this is a pretty sweet quality and a blessing for my future husband. Today I was just sitting in psychology when rather than listen to my teachers lecture I was thinking about how blessed I am for having so many things I love about life and very little that I am not that fond of. Honestly people should sit down and write lists about things they love and the simple things that make you smile. it just makes you so happy :). ahemm on my list:

1. best friends who are missionarys who send me letters. :)
as much as i miss and think about them every single day i know they are where they are supposed to be. I would like to add that heather connors blog on missionaries is my favorite ever because i would dislike it if random girls flirted with my friends on missions and distracted them...besides i was the one who was so dedicated in writing to them over the past 2 years and if anyone gets dibs on these handsome, spiritual men...its me. :)

2. flowers-
I LOVE flowers. I want them everyday. Flowers are great for so many reasons, they smell good, they remind me of spring and they instantly make anything prettier. I have fake ones all over my room for these various reasons, minus the whole smelling good thing. In conclusion I love flowers. <---- i was told never to end sentences in in conclusion but this is a blog so oh well.

3. people watching- in new york i would sit on the subway and just watch people pretending i knew where they were going and sometimes i would talk to them, oops. at the mall or any public place, sometimes you see the sweetest moments.

4. when i get an answer right on jeopardy-
i love love jeapardy. i shout random answers out all the time but i love when i get them right and my family looks at me in amazement and goes good job. i should be offended but im not.

5.hammocks-
when im older i need to have a hammock. no matter where i live im having one. my aunt has one at her lake house where i would read on it every night and i love them.

6. finding new talents-
i love when i find something im good at or think im good at but it turns out im really not because in that short time i was good at it. hahaha that makes sense. i recently found out i am good at putting my phone under my desk and typing whole conversations without even looking at it. no points lost in class for me. my favorite discovered talent would have to be my scary movie scream. when i get famous hopefully ill be cast in a horror flick because i want to use it so bad. sometimes i just randomly do it at home and the dogs start barking, shannon starts laughing, my dad smiles and shakes his and my mom gets mad. but it is so worth it.

7. that i have a nose-
this may be an odd choice but if you think about it, it is extremely important. I love the smell of cookies, cake brownies whatever, the smell right after it rains, the smell of flowers, the smell of the beach, the smell of gas-even though im sure that is not healthy, really everything. i just realized how thankful for my nose i really am. i would never pass these things up

8. old people
i know it sounds bad but i really do. i love them esp old people couples. every summer we go to florida to visit my grandparents and we go to this place called richards where my grandparents go every single morning for breakfast and majority of them are all old. they always come up to me saying "if i was a young lad i would ask for your number" -they seriously say lad or "look these are my grandchildren" or  "well i was in the war.." and tell a war story..or my favorite "look how much youve grown" these never bug me though, i love how sweet and kind they are.

I also love learning new things, my recent one is sign language, funny faces, listening to pretty musical numbers in church, going to new york, my family and the quirks that set us apart, playing cards, photography, when you dont want to smile but someone can make you, weddings/pictures from weddings ( i love seeing all the cute/funny poses and happy couples), a new pair of shoes, a good funny story, a happy ending, going for drives with the window down, boardwalks, soccer, a good book, waterfalls, storms(and watching them from my gparents deck in florida where the storms are the best), surprises, raw cookie dough, swings, smores and bonfires, when my bestfriend calls me cait or says witty things, cute text messages, inside jokes, stars, accents, traveling, music, guitars, fireworks, the feel of sun on my skin, childhood memories, people with imaginations, honey suckles and the memories that come with them, when a guy plays with my hair, payday, random acts of kindness, squeezing myself into my moms lap like im a baby ( yes i am 18 and still do that, i will never be to old), rollercoasters, naps, dreaming, writing, letters, crazy socks, winning a game...okay i got carried away and could go on forever

i typed in thinks that make me happy on google and just read random peoples lists that make them happy and it made me happy :) do it, you see so many little things you forget.

Type AB? no way

So in psychology we talked about how a person is either type A or B. I dont think this is acceptable because I am a mixture of both, I am not crazy neurotic nor am I the chillest person over everything. So I'm the kid in the back row who goes but what if you really are both of them. The teacher then proceeds to tell me you lean more to one side then the other and I just dont believe this.I dont think everything is black and white, sometimes theres a little gray.

Okay so i just looked it up, here are type a people :
Type A individuals can be described as impatient, time-conscious, concerned about their status, highly competitive, ambitious, business-like, aggressive, having difficulty relaxing; and are sometimes disliked by individuals with Type B personalities for the way that they're always rushing. They are often high-achieving workaholics who multi-task, drive themselves with deadlines, and are unhappy about delays. Because of these characteristics, Type A individuals are often described as "stress junkies."

and here are type B:
Type B individuals, in contrast, are described as patient, relaxed, and easy-going, generally lacking any sense of urgency. Because of these characteristics, Type B individuals are often described as apathetic and disengaged.


There is also a Type AB mixed profile for people who cannot be clearly categorized.

Look what i found Mrs. Nicodemus, you are wrong.

I am clearly a type AB....

i am so relieved you have manners..now on to princesses.

I was leaving this meeting today and i was one of the last people and this guy was leaving, so i asked where he parked and it was in the opposite parking lot...but he was so niceee. he goes ill walk you i dont want someone to steal you, haha he said this numerous times. He walked me all the way to my car and held doors for me as we walked. Now the boy doesnt like me because he has a girlfriend, which even more shows hes just a nice guy. hahahaha i just want to thank his mother for raising a boy with manners and teaching him to be chivalrous. Actually i want to thank all the mothers of boys with manners. I have always thought manners were required and everybody had them until i woke up and went into the real world and most boys def do not. Now not just singling guys out because girls need them too but i have always just felt guys would be so much smarter if they used them. When i hear a guy curse at a girl or do something very rude in my head i am making a mental note that he will never be a potential boyfriend...ever. I want to send out a memo to these boys and tell them how useful manners are, someone needs to warn them. But girls can be to blame, like when you settle for a guy whos rude and treats you bad...because he thinks thats acceptable and btw there is always a better guy out there...just fyi. I just had to really discuss how i feel about manners.


SO i was also informed theres a new princess? I would love to know how this happened...did a bunch of people just get together and vote...did the other princesses want a new girl at sleepovers. really? I honestly just learned all the names and stories of the others and now theres a new one. Is this really legit? I dont know why the fact that there is a new princess stresses me so much but i just dont like it. Its like changing Jasmines name to Jordan, you just cant do it. Someone should have sent out a poll...i guess we have to add her to this princess poem i love so much...


"Cinderella walked on broken glass

Sleeping beauty let a whole life pass

Belle fell in love with a hideous beast

Jasmine married a common theif

Ariel walked on land for love and life

Snow white barely escaped a knife

It was all about blood sweat and tears

Because love means facing your biggest fears."

-unknown

new princess just doesnt fit
on the outside she will sit
 
- i guess this will be her line to this great poem...princess..whats her name?
 
:)

did "prince charming" get "mail time" with a "busy schedule?"

So I decided to combine all my recent topics into one blog :)

Yesterday I literally sprinted to the mailbox because I was hoping to get a letter. Now there are some things in life that really stink, but running to the mailbox to get a letter and seeing nothing is probably the worst, or at least lately it seems to be. So I sent out a package to one of my best friends and tried calculating in my head when i would get a letter but i failed precalc so i really wouldnt trust my math calculations...regardless it was so depressing and i really wish i was a patient person.

That song by the Marvelettes practically rings through my ears:

                                                   "please mister postman, look and see

                                                     is there a letter a letter for me?

                                                    I've been standing here waiting mr postman,

                                                so oh so patiently, for just a card or just a letter"

What a perfect song, especially for girls writing missionarys. Now i love writing but ill admit it i wasnt always the best at writing them, one close friend of mine i wrote once, although there were like 4 letters in one envelope so that counts as more right? I can write them but never ever send them which is really weird because usually its the other way around...oh well. But now that i have so many good friends out at the same time i figured i needed to step my game up. This semester i have been ridiculously busy but have still found time to write the boys, which is such a blessing. My teachers all decided to hand out five or so writing assignments with random dates on the top and now my stress level is through the roof. Now between mail time and my busy schedule i found my fake prince charming. Fake being the key word here because 1. i dont really know the kid and 2. if i dont really know the kid how can he be my prince charming? Exactly.

So it all started with a princess who was heading to her jazz dance class a little early than normal because she knows of a handsome prince who happens to hang out in the enchanted forest, also known as the DH building. But anyway the one day she sets her mind on talking to him, he isnt there. of course. Anyway she goes to her dance class and then heads out, walking slow depressed with her luck. Then to the princesses surprise the handsome prince is coming up from the other side with two knights in shining armor. The princess slows to an almost stand still. The men speed up and start embarrassing themselves and being stupid (a common theme among groups of boys) and the girl freaks herself out and realizes she has lost her "chariot". The boys are staring at her as she searches the parking lot..and she cant find it...cool. Then to her surprise the boys get into a chariot which is right next, none other than the princesses chevy tahoe. How embarrassing. The princess must then do the walk of embarrassment for losing her car, er oops i mean chariot as the boys are already in their car just sitting there. She then does a common thing among girls, she pretends she has a phone call. Now i know this fairytale story was ruined because princesses did not have cellphones so were just gonna say this is the modern version. Anyway, i have used the "oh i have a phone call" trick so many times in my life im gonna have to say that im a pro. I just talked and talked to myself as i got in the car. Now there are a few reasons for a girl to use this trick...1. she does not want to talk to someone/ its easy to avoid people 2. you want to appear wanted/ really cool or 3. your a wacko and do it for fun. My reason being 1 and 2.

 So my chance was blown but i am looking forward to tuesday when i get to go to my dance class again :)

in love with love

 I was inspired to write a blog thanks to my best friend who has the funniest blog, so I'm going to give this a shot. So this weekend I just saw the movie Valentines day and I LOVED it. It was so cute, although I'm a complete sucker for anything sappy and romantic, so I may not be the best critic in the world because it falls in my usual category. Now if your a girl who finds Ashton Kutcher, Taylor Lautner or Bradley Cooper attractive it is a MUST see, and if you dont something is completely and utterly wrong with you. I saw it with some of my best friends and at the end as the song Fairytale by Taylor Swift was playing I realized I hate it when good love movies end especially this one because I was then reminded I do not have a boyfriend and I am in fact in the real world and unlike the movie, my best friend is not in love with me, sadly. Now normally I would not care that I dont have a boyfriend because I am all for the woman power jazz and being independent but when you see movies like this I'm like crap wheres mine? Then i look around me and see all these couples which is a major bummer and i also remind myself all this money i am wasting being single. If i was on a date i would not have to pay 10.50 for a movie! which btw is ridiculous. Heather always complains about being in maryland and not having all these dates who pay for her, which is a totally accurate statement. I mean i know this sounds bad but it is just one of the many perks of being a girl so i will enjoy it and nice boys. So anyway back to the movie night, a slight damper on the evening, however after going home I then proceeded to sit and listen to Taylor Swift songs( not the boy hating, you broke my heart songs but the im a teenage girl so naturally boys are always on my mind)over and over because her musicalways makes me smile. You may be surprised to know that I love the actual holiday as well, even though I never seem to have a legit valentine..but oh well. Whats not to like about the holiday? Even if your not in love theres always an abundancy of flowers and chocolate(both are favorites) that you can buy yourself, as lame as that may seem...However, this year this guy asked me to be his valentine and then worked all day...? yeah so it was really like i didnt have one but he asked me so sweetly so its the thought that counts i think. Overall the movie night was a success and i definantely recommend seeing this movie, so take some best friends or a really sweet boy and go see it.
