My dear friend from college just got engaged to be married next November, and although I am so happy for her because she says she's happy, I'm not so sure about her intentions and the guy she's marrying. How do you tell one of your best friends that you think she's "settling" for someone just because her ex recently got married? Is it even my place to say something? When she was telling me about how they met and how their relationship developed, I was expecting uncontrollable excitement. But instead she nonchalantly shared how he had been asking her out for five years and she finally decided to give it a try. I mean honestly if I just got engaged, you wouldn't see me stop smiling for weeks. I'd be telling anyone and everyone how excited I was to be marrying the man of my dreams.
So I'm in a pickle! I'm in the wedding and I feel like I should be supportive but at the same time be the voice of reason that best friends should be.
I have decided to take a break from facebook for at least a week because it
a.) is a waste of time
b.) can really drive me mad sometimes
c.) it'll free up time for me to do more productive and meaningful things with my life
and do I really need to know what everyone is doing every moment of the day? I think not.
Kim's keeping me accountable and the deal is if I don't follow through, I have to get a tatoo! Oh you better believe I'm staying as far away from facebook as possible! So sayonara, FACEBOOK!!! See you on the flip side.
Haha look at what urban dictionary is adding:
crop dusting
farting while walking; walking while farting;
i crop dusted my way down the aisle at the grocery store
MIRF
(merf) noun. acronym for Mom I'd Run From. The opposite of a MILF. A mom you definitely would not want to do.
"I don't know where she gets her good looks, her mom is a MIRF!" "Your momma's so ugly she's not a MILF she's a MIRF!"
clapathy
When an audience grows weary of clapping, either at a ceremony or musical performance.
"That graduation ceremony was so long, I got clapathetic!" "I was clapping at the beginning of the song, but I quit when I got clapathy."

Reading others blogs has inspired me to become a better blogger, but I still can't seem to get into a routine or a good habit of doing it. Today I will try to be more reflective on the things going on in my life. I've only shared my blog with a few people, but I may even share my blog with others. Sometimes there's just so much to tell, I can't seem to organize all my thoughts!
The Break-Up with Jennifer Anniston and Vince Vaughn is on for the third time this weekend and this is the third time I have had it on in the background as I'm doing stuff around the house. I love and hate this movie mainly because it reminds me of a relationship I had where we argued in the same immature way the characters of the movie do. It's funny how we find amusement in movies with plot lines that we would never find amusing if we were living it in our own lives. I love the line when Jennifer expresses what every woman thinks: "I want you to want to do the dishes." And although it seems an absurd thing to say, it's more that women every now and then want their men to love us so much they desire to serve us.
On Friday I unexpectedly accompanied a first grade class on a field trip to The American Village. If I had known I was going, I would have dressed appropriately and worn tennis shoes. However, it just so happened I wore a strappy shoe and the ants got to me again!! This time I got over 6-8 bites on my left foot and started to panic. There was no benedryl in the first aid kit and I needed meds FAST! A parent thankfully had one pill that I took immediately. Now I'm just waiting for the swelling to go down. My foot looks like an older, larger woman's foot that bubbles out of her old-fashioned pumps. (can you picture it? like minnie mouse's feet :)
Today's sermon at church was inspiring. Pastor Chris urged us to be passionate about life. This world can trap us to become complacent with how things are, but we need to always be thankful of where we are and how God has provided. We also need to be reminded of what more we can do with our lives. It was a most appropriate message for me to hear at this time.
I hope everyone has a wonderful week!! You tube "bon qui qui" if you'd never seen it. It's pretty hilarous!

Words so true
From Amanda's blog (I hope she doesn't mind)
"This past year, on more than one occasion I also heard something that I have found too be true...you are most like the 5 people with whom you choose to surround yourself. These words are so so so true. I once walked as a victim of circumstances I could control. I chose to stare in the face of wisdom and make the choices I knew in my heart to be wrong. "

The great thing about letting your pet sleep in the bed with you is that he keeps you warm on cold nights like last night!! I have refused to turn on my heat to try and save money so last night I layered up in velvet pants, long sleeves, socks, and two comforters before bed. Socks are key to keeping you warm!! My long and boney would never survive through the frigid night!! Hats are pretty good at keeping you warm too, but I haven't yet resorted to putting on my snow cap before I call it a night!
When I woke up this morning and got out from under my pile, I was freezing, the temperature read a cool 63 degrees so I went and did it. The heat is on!
We are out of school today for Veteran's Day but it seems like everyone else has to work! Plus it's a tuesday so it's not like i could go out of town. It;s just a "stuck in the middle of the week day off"but I'm still going to enjoy it. :)
