court

i am grateful for courtney oliver.

this little gem

we pass notes at work and make fun of each other.  she makes going to work bearable.  she facetimes me in the morning to wake me up. and she calls me carl.  she gets hickey's and i make fun of her for them. but then she says i have aids because i have kissed 19 boys.  we are the best of friends and she sexts me.  and i like it.

pruney fingers and toes

i am grateful for pruney fingers and toes.

although this seems like the weirdest and most random thing to be grateful for, i am still grateful.  if your fingers or toes have shriveled up like raisins that means you have been doing one of the following:

swimming

in the hot tube

taking a bath

playing in the ocean

all of the above are amazing things and therefore leads to me being grateful for the pruning of appendages.

being on time

i am grateful to be on time.

when you are in a rush and you think you are going to be horribly late, but you end up being on time or maybe even a little bit early.

car rides

i am grateful for car rides.

tonight valerie and i went with our bestie michelle to pick someone up from the airport. i'm so glad we could just talk the whole way and catch up on everyone's lives. just being in their company is good enough. we didn't have to talk the whole time but just knowing we were together two feet from each other was amazing and knowing if we got in a wreck at least we would all die together and we could hold hands as we entered heaven.

being told your beautiful

i am grateful for people telling me I am beautiful.

it makes it so much better when the words come from another girl who, they themselves are gorgeous. today while at the dentist the hygienist told me that i was really pretty. she was drop dead gorgeous and for her to say that made me feel so good about myself.

getting off easy

i am grateful that when things could be worse they let you off easy.

last night went up to my dads so he wouldnt have to spend christmas alone.  this morning i woke up and got ready and got in my car to head home. my father lives in fairview and so i was speeding, because no one was around.  at one point in time i was going

i slowed down to about 84 and thats when the cop saw me.

the speed limit was 65.

i was going 20 over.

he pulled me over and asked for my license and proof of insurance.

he gave me a ticket. and although i was praying that he wouldnt give me one at all, at least he only put that i was going 9 over.  

first speeding ticket.

bubble baths

i am grateful for bubble baths.

the best thing in this world is the fact that if you are exhausted or stressed or upset, you can go fill up the bathtub, add some candles, and pour some mr. bubbles bubblebath in and create the best atmosphere. i have been stressing out a ton lately about: my grades and if i will make my gpa to keep my scholarship, and if a decision i made will change the rest of my life.  i have been beating myself up about everything and cant stop my brain from racing.  so while my mom was at a RS meeting and marlin and weston went christmas shopping i went and gathered our fake candles and headed to the bathroom.

i turn the water on hot, poured the rest of mr. bubbles bubblebath in and turned on jenny dalton's station on pandora.  

i sat back and just relaxed.

i told myself not to think about everything and just breath.

as i was sitting there i thought about christmas and how wonderful this time of season is.  i said a little prayer in the peace and quiet.

then just closed my eyes

im grateful for alone time.

McDonald's Breakfast

i am grateful for sausage egg mcmuffins.

since i have been home, my mother has been making me come and work for her.  i am not complaining i get paid $9.25 and i basically sit here and blog, every once and a while i will check some emails, make a few phone calls, but for the most part i just chill.  today on our way into work my mom asked weston and i if we wanted anything from mickeyd's.  i never realized how happy a sausage egg mcmuffin can make me.  i know they arent very healthy and its prolly not even real eggs but a day started with that little ray of sunshine will always go well.

goodie bags

i am grateful for goodie bags.

i love when you go to the dentist and once youve been through the pain of a cleaning they give you a goodie bag filled with lovely little treasures.

i went to a new dentist today and my goodie bag was completely legitimate.

in it there was a toothbrush, mouth wash, toothpaste, chapstick, and dental floss, all in a sparkly plastic case.
