Cold Fingers and Toes

I got in the shower this morning and there is a problem with the showers in Juniper. They vent all the steam out of there! So when you are standing in your shower stall its different than at home you don't feel all warm and toasty like normal the front of you is cold and the back of you is toasty from the water so you turn around to get your front toasty but then your back is cold. And you can't just spin around like that for your whole shower! Can you imagine shampooing it would be like a soapy cyclone in there! And then you slip and fall and hit your head and die. Game over. i can just imagine the conversation in heaven that would ensue. "How did you die?" "I was saving puppies from a burning pet store!" "I was fighting of a burglar to save a lady and her daughter and he killed me cause they got away". "I slipped and hit my head in a soapy shower cyclone." I doubt they have stones in heaven so that they could stone the person for their idiocy so I bet they would just clobber them with clouds or something. So in order to prevent such a violent scene in heaven they should fix the showers here. And so when I get out my hands wont be freezing and unable to warm up because alas I have not made the investment in a personal hand holder. Someday soon though it's gonna happen :)

Running Shorts

Running shorts are my favorite. I dont know how I lived my life before I knew they existed. I wish I had a pair in every color. But alas I dont. They have these convenient little pockets on the inside for holding bobby pins or like m&m's (although it does look weird to reach into your shorts and pull out m&m's and eat them) or quarters or any other small essential items you might need while running or not running lol. They are so comfortable too!! Winter is going to be hard this year because running shorts and snow do not mix I am thinking. They also come in a variety of styles. They are like magic I tell you they make my legs look good and my hinder look good which is a plus because even though I workout on a daily basis I need all the help I can get!! Maybe when I die I will have them bury me in running shorts that would be nice :)

And it Came to Pass that we Were Really Creepy

So me and my best pal Kelsey decided the other night that we were going to write these sketchy love notes and slip them under a few doors in the various boy's halls around Juniper. Some notes were hilarious saying things like "I love your glasses I would lick them everyday" and some were just straight up weird like "My love for you burns like a firecracker attached to a cats tail" just things of that nature. This all would have gone according to plan without any problems except we did not even think to disquise ourselves at all! Stupid right? Its ok though me and Kelsey decided our friendship is basically us doing a whole myriad of stupid things together.  Like not putting the cap on a bottle of hydrogen peroxide and knocking it over. Anyway turns out now everyone knows it was us so now if we ever want to make these notes again chances are everyone will know it was us. Plus Kelsey put my name in one!! For the love of secrecy!!!  Note to self next time we decide to do something in any way like this. 1. Disguises: face paint, a ski mask, or at least wear a hoodie and put the hood on! 2. Dont write these letters out in the open where any average joe could walk by and be like hey watcha doin? Stupid. Just stupid. 3. Do not mention names in the notes. Ever. Period. Done. Game Over. Forever. On the brightside though everyone thought our notes were funny and cute and they were merciful and did not shun us :) there really are happy endings.

The Yes's the Maybe's and the Never's

There are three categories of guys. Well at least in my opinion. There are the yes's. A Yes is a person who meets all your preconcieved standards and requirements. They are those guys that you could call in the middle of the night because you are freaked out and even though they are dead tired they would either stay on the phone with you or they would get up and come find you to make sure you are ok. These guys are pretty rare so if you find one hold onto him and NEVER let him go!!! They also volunteer to take care of you when you are sick will go on all kinds of crazy adventures with you and remember the most insignificant things you tell them like that your favorite flowers are daffodils. Then there are the Maybe's. A Maybe is generally an all around pretty good guy but every now and again he will mess up pretty badly. These are the guys that are nice but some of the things they do leave you wondering what the heck made you think that was a good idea?! These are the guys that will forget your birthday one year. You will ask them to do something you want to do and have been really wanting to do for a long time and they will say no. They won't go to your piano recitals and when you sing songs in the car they will tell you that you really don't have to sing along with EVERY song on the radio. But they will still be there when you need them most and they will let you cry on their shoulder and still hang out with you as long as what your doing sounds fun to them. Not the best you could do but hey they could be worse right? And finally there are the Never's. A Never is a guy who you know will make your parents insane. He is the kind of guy that will act like he is too cool for you when his friends are around and apologize for it later. He is always forgetting his wallet so you always have to pay and say I will pay next time but never does. He is really immature about a lot of things and if he is having a bad day watch out because he most likely will take it out on you. This is how I calssify the guys I know in these three categories date the Yes's consider the Maybe's forget the Never's.  Kinda like good better best :)

After Workout Conversations

After I got done working out today (yes I still workout like normal even when I am sick) I was fishtail braiding my best pal kelsey's hair for her and were were talking about drama. Or the lack thereof lol. All the different people and personalities that live in our little old hall and yet the most drama we have had so far this year has been one girl never being able to remember another girls name and we thought she was being a jerk about it but that is a very small issue that quickly resolved itself. So then we started talking about other halls and about how this one hall probably has the most cliques and issues and get this it's a GUYS hall lol I thought that was hilarious.  Because guys always say that girls hold grudges and never let go of things and stuff and how guys punch eachother then laugh about it and it's over. What a bunch of garbage lol.

My Dad :)

My dad is the greatest guy ever!! I have missed hime so much since going to college. I was listening to the song "I Loved Her First" one morning before I went to math class. BIG mistake, I started bawling cause I missed my dad :/ I have been home this past weekend thanks to fall break LOVE IT!! So on Saturday night i was going to go for a 3 mile run and as I was getting ready to leave my dad said "you can not go running alone its after dark!" I am sitting here thinking what could possibly go wrong?! But I said "ok what should I do?" He said "I will ride behind you on my bike so you won't be alone" He seemed very proud of this idea had come up with so I was like ok lets go then and then my little brother John wanted to come to so we all went, me on foot, and my dad and my 13 year old little brother on their bikes. It was seriously probably the best runs I have ever been on! I would not have traded the time I got to spend talking with my brother and dad that night for anything. I was also baking cookies the other day and I was thinking to myself I am only getting older and so is my dad so I need to cherish the memories and the times I get to spend with him. Because when my kids ask me what my family was like when I grew up I want to have some good stories to tell! So instead of being immature and lame as I usually am and thinking my dad is so lame and embarrassing and ridiculous and old I am going to start writing down all the incredably wise advice he gives me and all the great memories we have together. I am just thankful I realized what I have before it was too late.
