friday's letters...hope it's not too late

Dear Library,

Thank you so so much for letting me work here! It is by far the best job that I have ever had!

Dear Mikarose,

YOU SUCK! Please stop tormenting people with your overpriced and very low quality clothes that you store in a working bathroom. Good luck with your awful ideas and horrendous work ethic. I hate you.

Dear Husband,

I know working two jobs is really...not fun. But I'm proud of you for working hard, and being really optimistic! YOU ROCK! And you look super sexy in your Uhaul Thug Nasty Threads!

Dear House,

We are going places! You are gonna look absolutely grand in no time! I promise!

Dear Hair,

I know you're purple. I understand this is a big change. Hopefully we can pull it off without becoming one of those trashy purple hair people. I think we can.

Dear Blog,

I know you're not the most popular girl in school...or the prettiest..or the nicest, but I really enjoy you. :)

Dear Reader's Blogs,

If I'm not a follower yet, please email bomb me! I love reading blogs and getting to know people! It's the best! 

Dear Christmas Tree,
I really like that we decorated you with pictures of me and Taylor. Tay likes it too. :) Did you know that I love him? ....a lot??

writers block

Every day at work, I see hundreds and hundreds of books.

I put them away, I pick them up, I skim through them, I scan them.

I'm immersed in books.

I walk home, I sit down, and I blog about what?

In all those hundreds of books, most are not center aligned, with snippets of whatever nonsense, and big pictures of random whatevers.

Although, I suppose, some are like that...

mostly magazines, or picture books,

but the point is:
 my blog is so different than a book.

And as I work, I think about all the things I could write about..

religion, history, fantasy, a book about a teenage girl in love with a vampire, something!

 But at the same time, I can hardly figure out where I'm going with this one post!

I started a novel in High School...

it was about a kid named Matt who was an abnormally gifted at the piano..and he found a magic coin that transported him to a magic...place.

It was awful.

Maybe I'm not meant to write a book, but I have this blog.

And I really want this blog to NOT be... Matt and the Magic Coin,
but every time I sit down to write, all the ideas I once had are gone..
My brain melts and runs out my nose, and I'm left with a blank white rectangle on my computer screen.
I'm afraid to write about politics or theories or science,
good heavens, I'm not about to bore 92 people!

So.
Here we are.
Here I am rambling about my writers block,
and here you are reading about it.

Quite frankly, that's all I can think of to say.

double trouble

Remember how I had two jobs?

Well one was just awful awful..

It's actually quite the story!

And now, I have one job.

BUT Taylor has two jobs

So, that still equals three jobs.

But even with those three jobs, we will have to wait til January for Christmas,

(The part of Christmas that Christmas is NOT all about, but that we all know that we all look forward to.) 

Stuff like that happens to newlyweds.....right?

But now I have time to catch up.

With bills.

With cleaning.

With groceries.

With cooking.

With life.

So, my double jobs ended up being trouble, but that is not what I intended creating this post about.

I'm talking about a much more fun kind of "double trouble"

Double dating!!

I don't know if you married folks agree, but I think that when you're married (or in a serious relationship) couple friends can save your life!

I love love love our couple friends!!!!

We have Sara and Kevin, Michelle and Russ, Bri and Ryan (they count if they're family...), and we are always looking for more!! 

We all have friends, and some of us have lots of single friends.
For some reason, when we get married, hanging out with our single friends changes drastically.
Not that we don't want to! Or that we can't!
But a lot of the time, your interests change.
Instead of shopping and boys and make-up, it's marriage and housekeeping and babies.
Well. Not that exactly, but you get what I mean.
It's hard being in different places, and we all need friends.

Anyway, my advice to all you love stricken fella's and ladies,

get a couple friend!
I promise, if you get along, then you will never regret your new friendship!
What do you think?
Oh, and any ideas for inexpensive and amazing Christmas gifts?
I'm kind of in desperate need..

the tyra banks complex

So, here I am in my messy apartment,

decorations strewn everywhere, Taylor's silly, dirty, once hidden socks in a pile, and only half of my Christmas lights working.

I guess I could hang the decorations, wash the socks, and fix the lights, buuuuuut I think I'd rather chill out before my first day working at the library..

I was watching The Seven Year Itch

(after switching from How to Steal a Million...to the disappointment of my sis-in-law  and many of you, I'm sure, I prefer Miss Monroe to Audrey...)

Oh, and I switched my notification sound from a light "ding" to sleigh bells.

It creeps me out every time.

I like this picture...and I can't even pinpoint why..

Anyway, have you guys ever seen that America's Next Top Model  episode where the girl says something and Tyra goes Ape...uh crazy and goes on and on and on about how that girl doesn't know where Tyra came from or who she is or blah blah blah.

Well. That is the Tyra Banks complex.

When people are really mean or unfair to me, (which happens almost every day at work), I think..

You don't know where I came from.

And I sometimes stew on it.

Give me a break! I just want a break! 

BUT wanna know something I hardly ever do?

Something I don't think Tyra did that one day?

I don't think...where did you come from?

What hardships have you suffered?

Do you need help?

why are you mad at me?

why  are you mean to me?

BUT at the same time, I firmly believe that one's past does NOT define you, nor does it give you any kind of excuse for any kind of behavior.

So, I'm a bit conflicted.

Can't we all just be nice to each other? No matter who we are or where we came from?

Look at this candid shot of Taylor :)

It's inspiring :)

home alone

As of right now, I work kind of a lot.

I picked up another job, and blah blah blah.

Taylor works really really hard, and he is just the best!

But there are times when Taylor is home alone.

I don't know what your significant others do when they are home alone, but mine watches a lot of football ;)

But you know what he did on the horrendous Black Friday,

when I was off to work at 5 AM,

and Taylor didn't have work for another 12 hours?

Well.

He did just darn near the cutest, nicest thing!

 I couldn't go Black Friday shopping...I had to work, and I was too busy hot tubbing and playing poker to hit places up at midnight.

But a few days ago, for kicks and giggles, I circled some things that I wanted in the "Black Friday Ads"

 And in those ads, was a pair of really cute, perfect, excellent boots!

Flash back to Friday, I get home for work at around 2, and THIS is what I see:

An ENTIRE outfit!

The PERFECT size!

Nail Polish included!

And in that box...Yeah..THE BOOTS!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D

I didn't know he even saw my circles! 

Oh I love him.

I love surprises, and gifts, and...clothes.

Call me materialistic, buuuut maybe that's just my love language.

I married a guy that genuinely wants me to be happy way way way before himself.

And I'm not just saying that because I got some cute stuff, I'm saying it 'cause it's true!

Brag Brag Brag Brag Brag :)

PS: Look how sweet :)

a regal job

My current job is, in few words, dramatic.

I like retail...but one day, I'll tell y'all about the drama of Mikarose.

However,  right now, I have even cooler news!

I got another job!

Yes, I'll have two. 

I'm no stranger to that! This is my third time working TWO jobs; at one point, I had three...

I like working, it's fulfilling, fun, and most certainly time well spent.

My favorite job had to have been my dog walking gig.
Look how cute I was!
Plus, I got paid 10 bucks an hour to walk dogs and shovel up poop. NOT BAD!
AND I was outside all the time = tan and fit!

I digress..
I like super big time digress.
The point is, I got ANOTHER job!
At the Provo Library!
It's kind of a high school job...minimum wage...part time...but I think I'm really going to like it!
I'll be a page!

Yes, a page!
Sounds regal, yes?
Basically, I put books back :)
BUT I get to walk to work (exercise)
I can listen to my iPod (relaxing)
My boss is an angel (sweet)
And I love the library (fun)
It's gonna be an awesome way to pick up a few bucks for Christmas!!

hi there, stranger

I have a lot of things to write about...

I could write about how I used to HATE Taylor Swift and now I'm her biggest fan, 

or how I have great real friends from work and it's the best,

or how I just got brown skinny jeans and I actually like how they look,

or how my mom is in Oklahoma now,

or how work is a little ca-razy,

or how I hate it when people try much too hard to be funny..

or how my grandma is the sweetest woman alive,

or how awesome marriage is...

BUT 

I have something to say.

Yes.

Again.

I just wish to plead with everyone in the world to remember, we are all different.

In a lot of cases, there is a right way to do things and a wrong way, but not in everything.

Every marriage is different.

Every situation is different.

Everyone's way of handling money is different.

What people are happy with is different.

Heavens, how people dress is different, 

and that's okay!

MY way is not the only right way.

YOUR way is not the only right way.

Life is hard on everyone, so let's help each other through it...not push each other people back.

:)

Deal?

I'll talk to y'all soon!

Post Script: Look how cute me and my hubs are!!!

Stuck in hay..

Halloween! Premium Rush! (Don't worry...no one got the reference...)

Bein cute :)
