28 days until move out.

I tried to write a simple post and that didn't even sound right.

I'm bored out of my mind with life.

I'm not sure I'm doing as well with moving on as I give myself credit for.

& I just need things to pick up again.

Hey college, hurry up & let's get this party started.

Thumbs up for Vicki's.

When my entire extended family read my blog, I might've felt that my privacy was being invaded ever so slightly, but then again, it is a public blog. The real issue was probably the fact that there are just some things I blog, that they'd probably rather not know about me. 

[WARNING: this is one of those posts] 

Today was supposed to be my first day of work, & I was excited. I finally mastered the beach waves on my incredibly straight hair, & I felt good about life.

Long story short, there were complications transferring me from my last job to the current one on the BYU system, so today was not my first day of work. I was already all the way in Provo.. & although I'm out of my allowance of free spending money, the mall was so close.. but no brablem, lucky for me, I had Vicki's coupons, including free panties. Holla.

Buying undergarments in department stores, or target, or walmart, or bascially anywhere just maybe too public.. *incredibly awkward* [I used to make Jess run in and grab new unds for me when I needed them.] Until more recent than I'd like to admit, I was the girl who was too afraid to enter Victoria's Secret, (a brablem, I know) I suppose this post is for you girls. Don't tell your mom I told you this, but that place is goood.

Now don't get your panties in a bunch, [puns always intended] this won't get too personal, I'm just saying, Every girl should own good bra's and panties. You'll feel better about life, I'm sure of it.
Go to their huge sale. Get lots of cute panties. Find a good coupon. Find a perfect bra.

Trust me, if you like what's underneath, you feel confident in just about anything you put on over top.
So make sure to slip in there sometime for your back to school shopping. Idk, but I doubt you'll regret it.

Other happies: Crazy bread, always. Gold nail polish for summer, & the perfect everything, color especially about this new top. 

Rain triggers thinking.

I'm not sure why it took me so long to fall in love with the rain, but if nothing else, last summer did it for me. I guess I never completely noticed the rain before, but last summer it seemed to rain more than usual, and every time it did I was thinking of him. Probably wishing for a kiss in the rain, although we always seemed to just miss it. I still think that might've been the happiest time of my life. But, being in love inevitably makes you happy, right?
It's funny the way love changes though, and life too. How two years ago I was smitten with this boy, as I brought a sack full of random knick-kancks to him for his birthday.
& a year ago exactly I was avoiding the thought that he'd leave in just three weeks. Crazy that was a year ago. I'm ready for new though. He's right, there's no telling what will happen in a year, and almost likely, nothing.. so I put that little blue book back on the shelf, the one full of memories I couldn't get over. & promised myself this time it'd stay there. Because you can't move forward if you keep reliving the past.. no matter how good it may have seemed.

Real-life Adventuring.

I'd forgotten how much I love to hike. 

Mt. Timpanogos. So nice, you do it twice. 

Everyday Saturday.

Yesterday we hiked Timp. Or maybe it was today. Or Friday. I got off work Wednesday and every day since has been Saturday.

I bought six pairs of shoes at Savers yesterday. They were all practically if not brand new, and all under $7. WINNER.

I crave shaved ice.. so much. Snoasis' are by far the best too. (Trust me, I've tried 'em all.)

My summer job is over, and it definitely blessed my life. You betcha I'm going to miss my fellow counselors like CRAZY.

I start my new job Monday, & I'm crossing my fingers I'll still run in to the other counselors often.

I've been too sore/tired/out of energy to do anything today, so I looked at bedspreads online all day. & I still haven't quite found the perfect one. #toopicky

I just read reviews on all my professors for Fall term and to say I'm stoked would be an understatement.

Is there such thing as #subblogging, like #subtweeting, if so, I think I might've gotten subblogged. For better or for worse.

Lots of my bestfriends left on their missions this week. & I'm starting to think I might end up leaving sooner rather than later. But then I change my mind back to later again-- it just makes more sense.

Happy day, happy life, & definitely feeling blessed right now.

People are imperfect.

People are completely flawed, & that's just life.

But clearly it does complicate things a little, & it can work so hard against you when you get caught on the wrong side of things. 

All it takes is a small misconception, to get blown up suddenly into endless assumptions and rumors and problems.It's funny the way people can manipulate, or turn someone into the bad guy.  

It's funny the way insecurities have the power to destroy relationships. 

Inevitably some things never go back to the way they were. & life goes right on.
You have to realize what things you can control in life, and which ones you can't. & I've learned the way others act, is one that you can't. So you be the best you, & don't worry about them. 
Keep the things in life that make you happy, and get rid of the ones that don't. 

SS: To be a little better.

I absolutely loved this post by Ashley, from From A to Z. 

This quote especially:

"Each of us can do a little better than we have been doing. We can be a little more kind. We can be a little more merciful. We can be a little more forgiving. We can put behind us our weaknesses of the past and go forth with new energy and increased resolution to improve the world about us, in our homes, in our places of employment, in our social activities." 

-President Gordon B. Hinkley

It's such a motivating quote, because I do have more in me than what I gave last week. 

so here's to being a little better... because the world needs and deserves our best selves.
