Success

What I call success: Making homemade doughnuts for the first time ever and having them turn out perfectly. Getting asked to babysit your favorite kids. And losing two pounds and only needing to lose seven more to reach my goal. Sweet success :)

Babysitting!

I love to babysit. It is one of my favorite activities. This week alone I have made $110.00 dollars babysitting. I am living the dream!!! As it would turn out when other moms ask around for a babysitter I get recommended a lot. I think it is because I actually play with the kids rather than just turning on a movie or something. I really hope that people continue to ask me to babysit as much as they have this past week!

Life is Awkward. A LOT.

Life is awkward a lot of the time. Like knowing whether to hug someone or not. Full on front hug with a super long embrace? Regular front hug? Double Bro tap? Side hug? Awkward side hug because you don't want to hug the person? It's difficult. Also going to a wedding reception and having people check your hand to see if you are engaged is awkward. And finally the most awkward thing of all going to a wedding reception where one of your friends is constantly voicing his opinion that "these two should not be getting married" I mean who bad mouths a couple at their wedding reception?! If they weren't meant to be together I am pretty sure they would not have gotten married. I mean come on are you heavenly father? Did they pray to YOU about this? NO. So it is not your place to judge them and decide what's good for them. Some people.

I thought we were better friends than this. We went from talking about everything and hanging out everyday to pretty much nothing. You can make time for other people but not for me? Welcome to the real world I suppose best friends don't always stay best friends. Oddly enough I really am not that sad about this lol. Does that make me a bad friend also? I am not sure but it's ok :) sometimes you have to let old friends go to make room for the new ones!

Fast Sunday

Today is Fast Sunday. The last fast Sunday I was sick so I didn't even go to church! I missed out. You never know where inspiration is going to strike! Like institute last Wednesday. Holy Cow. I had so many questions! And there were so many good comments made by other people it helps me remember why I love institute :) because my first semester of college my institute class was ok but the teacher was just not my favorite. Sometimes the right teacher makes all the difference. Also yesterday I went with my little brother, his friend Tyson, my dad and my home ward's bishop. They are great folks :) except john and Tyson kept trying to bike sandwich me :p they had to do 50 miles but I just went the first little bit with them and did 20 miles. It felt good to challenge myself like that! Some of the hills were rough though and bike seat make your butt hurt REALLY bad. Even if you get a super cushy gel seat it doesn't even matter. You still will feel like you have been riding a horse for 9 hours. Then I did the last 3 miles they had to do with them! If I had just done like 3 more yesterday I would have ultimately biked a marathon! That is my new goal. Biking a marathon.  

Sunday

Sunday's are the day's I feel the best about myself because I go to church and that's fo sho' where I need to be. Also it is like the only day of the week I ever get ready so I feel like compared to every other day of the week I probably look like a supermodel (ok probably not but there is a big difference trust me lol). It is just a good day! I get to see my pals, go home and make cookies and take them to people and stuff, and play board games. Rest, relax, rejuvenate, and focus on the things that matter and that are important. I love it :)

And Now You're Weird

I hate when you have a friend who is a guy and you have lots of fun together and stuff and then one day out of nowhere he is a complete weirdo. Allow me to elaborate. This kid and I have hung out numerous times and we have fun and stuff we aren't best friends of course because when guys and girls are best friends they fall in love and get married and stuff and yeah. Don't want that business. But anyway we were pretty good friends but I have noticed we can only be good friends if nobody is around. He is one of those people that if his other guy friends are around all of the sudden I don't exist. Like he has to put up a front or something. Is this kid a true friend? Probably not as much as I previously thought. Is he stupid? Yes. Am I that concerned about this? Not really lol. From now on I will just kindly ignore this kiddo. I feel it is nicer than other alternatives.
