The Celebration has Begun!

I am a fan of birthdays not just lasting a day. I usually celebrate my birthday for a whole week. I usually start on my birthday and celebrate a week from then. This time around the birthday has kinda started already. I have bought two presents for myself already. I am very glad that the coats we got through work came in today because it was bloody cold today and very snowy. (Dang Spring is just not here yet!)

I bought the blender because I really want to start drinking more smoothies in my life. I also have a fabulous black bean brownie recipe that will be made easier because of my blender.

Pretty much: Happy Birthday to me!!!!!!

I would also take the gift of GPS, if any of your are looking for ideas. Haha. Oh and if you could find me a cute and tall guy that would be nice too! You are the best!

This week has gone very slowly. I am dragging. It must be March! Happy March, by the way. I hope this month is full of luck and shamrock shakes for you. I need to get me one of those one of these days!

I need to finish my sub plans by the end of the day tomorrow so I can not have to worry about them at all this weekend and I can have an amazing time celebrating on Monday!

The Office tonight was amazing if you were wondering. I laughed and laughed. That show still makes me so happy. LOVE IT. Do you want to see a list of the other shows that make me happy these days? I knew you would. Here is that list:
1. Chuck
2. Mercy
3. The Good Wife
4. 24
5. White Collar

TV is my friend. I love TV. A flat screen would be an even better friend. I am just saying. LOL!!

Creepy.

Did I mention that X Files is a CREEPY show? It is. Just thought you should know!

It's hard to live vicariously through reality TV.

I often live vicariously through other people. Some people have life a whole lot easier than me. Some people have more money than me. Some people are married to really cute men. It just seems natural to live vicariously through other people sometime.

Right now is one of those times because I often feel that life is pretty blah. Unfortunately, I actually let The Bachelor be a means for me to live vicariously. The Bachelor, Jake, was just plain cute and nice. I thought the world of him. I wanted to be the girl that got to spend her life with him. Yeah, until that was all crushed by the girl he actually chose. I wouldn't want to be her, if she was actually attractive. Okay, so she may be good looking but really she seems to be not so nice inside. It just made me think of all the horrible relationships I have had where eventually the guy picks some weird girl who is so not good for him like I am good for him. Just like it seems Jake picked the wrong girl for him. Silly. How can a TV show make me feel vulnerable? Shocking.

Other than that not too much excitement here. Spent time in Salt Lake this weekend. Caleb, the little brother from another mother, had his mission farewell on Sunday. His talk made me cry. He is going to be one heck of a missionary. I am so proud of him.

It was fun to chill with the Bills like it always is. We even got a few X Files in. Fantastic.

Now it is back to reality and my life. Had a great run today. I wanted to puke but I know it was great for my body. Thrilling.

Only one week to buy me that flat screen TV you were going to buy me for my birthday. Get on it! And Josh, MAKE ME A SANDWICH!

Have a fantastic day/night.

Sushi and Parent Teacher Conferences

It is one a.m. That is right, you read that right. I am up at one a.m. on a school night. Crazy, no? Well, granted I was sleeping on my couch from about ten to twelve thirty, so that makes this a little less dramatic. I have a tendency of doing that a lot lately. I think I can stay up longer, but in reality, I fall asleep at a reasonable hour on the couch. I think I used to give my mother a very hard time for doing this every night while I was in high school. It really is funny how much I am my mother's child. We are so much alike in so many ways!

Tonight was Parent Teacher Conferences. It is kinda weird to think that it was the last one of the year. That means we are getting pretty close to the end of the year. I like that idea! The conferences were good. Not as boring as last time because more parents showed up because we bribed them with donuts and a drawing. I have to admit, I will pretty much do anything to be in a drawing and have a chance to win a drawing. I am a sucker for drawings. I think there will be a drawing at my wedding reception in the future.

Tomorrow is Friday. Just thought you should know. I think it is one of my favorite days of the week besides Saturday and Sunday where I actually get to sleep in. Friday just holds so much promise. I like the promise of getting to sleep in the best. The promise of no responsibility is also nice.

By the way, that sushi was a little slice of heaven while having to deal with my 12+ hour day. Those little rolls made life easier and totally worth it today!

Well, I think I am starting to ramble...okay starting may not be the word...I should have said I am going to end rambling. That would be more appropriate. Enjoy your Friday everybody!

SUPER BLOGGER!

My sentiments exactly for Mary Beth and Steve. I would upload pics from their wedding but I think it is better for them to post pictures. (What a good friend I am, eh?) Their wedding was awesome. It was on Saturday and I love that they go married. They are like twins. It has renewed my faith in there being somebody out there for me.

Here is a recap of the rest of the weekend: Friday, I went and saw my school's boys' basketball team get stomped and then I had a great time talking with Jane, a Math teacher from my school. We had dinner and chatted for a few hours. I truly am surrounded by awesome supports and friends.

Saturday was pretty much filled with wedding stuff.

Today, I taught the lesson in Relief society. It was fun and nervous but good. I then headed up to Sandy and hung out at the Bills. Erin was in town and it was nice to chat with her. We all crammed into the car(six of us) to take her to the airport. It was quite an adventure as I am sure we looked silly because there were three in the front seat and three of us in the back. I am also pretty sure the back end was lowered. We made many jokes about going to West Valley because we were a low-rider. After the airport, Dad Bills and I watched a few episodes of The X Files. I have grown to love that show even though it creeps me out. I don't think I could watch it alone at my apartment but I really love to watch with Dad Bills!

I do not want to go to work tomorrow but reality is reality, right? I really think we should have five day weekends and two day work weeks. Life would be awesome if we did that! Sorry for not blogging very well lately. I will work on that in the future. Only 40 days until Spring Break, but who is counting?
