Nothing to Write About?

I always laugh when I hear people say they will start a blog once they have something to write about. They want to wait until they have kids to brag about, a new business or job to vent about, or something else more exciting. I think the opposite is true for me. I've never been busier, now that I have added wedding planning to the mix of everything else, and for the life of me, I can't think of anything to blog about.

It's only 106 days until I get married, I go between wishing I had more time to wishing it were tomorrow so it would be over. I have the feeling now of not really caring, just as long as things get done, which I hear is pretty common. But coming up this month: dress buying, and invitations. I think after I get the dress I'll feel much better about everything. As long as my family and friends are there, and I get a few good pictures, thats all I want!

School is almost over, and my calling is starting to get in the groove. Lucky for me, all the sisters I work with are completely amazing, and they make it easy on me! I was wondering last week what I am going to do after I get married. I wont have school, will be released from my calling, and wont be trying to plan a wedding. I might have to get a hobby! But from 25 years experience living with myself, I'm pretty sure that I'll quickly find something that will fill up my time and completely stress me out. It's just how I roll!

I'm Too Excited To Care!

I got an iPhone this weekend. I kind of feel like a wanna be trendy sell out, which bothers me a little. But I'm having to much fun downloading free apps to care!! I'm seriously wondering how I lived before-I have an app to wake me up in the morning, another one to help me fall asleep, anothe rone for grocery shopping, another one to track calories, and so on!

In other only-interesting-to-me news:

I'm pretty sure Winter is going to be here forever. (Please don't rub this comment in my face when I'm complaining about how hot it is in two months!)

I'm Gifted! Well, Sort Of...

I shouldn't have been so excited that it was warming up. It started raining again today! Why? Why do bad things happen to good people?? :)

I discovered some of my hidden talents this weekend:

1) Crepe paper. It's a gift. It always twirls perfectly for me. Now if I could keep it on the wall. I may or may not have used a staple gun on some crepe paper at a baby shower this weekend. Stupid glossy paint...

2) Folding chairs and heels. I would say most LDS females develop this talent in time, but I have always felt that I had a special gift for it. I think it's my special anchor and yank move (I'm thinking of copyrighting that phrase!). Don't believe me? Check me out after a church function!

3) Stuffing things into flast rate boxes at the post office. Even the postal worker commented on how much was in it. I'm kinda awesome like that!

That's my list. Some people are world leaders, some are great thinkers. Me, I can put up crepe paper, fold up some chairs, and send you a bunch of junk in a box!

Thankful for the Cold- Better Late Than Never

I meant to post this a few days ago, but I kept forgetting, and now it doesn't seem as relevant since it's warm outside (yay!) but I did manage to think of two things I was thankful for in cold weather:

1) I can wear tights with all my skirts/dresses, so I don't have to shave my legs as often.
2) I don't have to do my hair when it is raining.

Well, I think we have made excellent progress here!

A Warm Bethany is a Happy Bethany- Or I'm Trying to Do Anything Other Than Going to the Gym!

I'm sure everyone is already aware, but I am not a huge fan of Winter. I was born in the desert, and I plan to stay in a warm climate as long as I possibly can. I hate having to wear a jacket, I hate having cold toes, I hate layering, I hate having to wait for my car to warm up, I hate being outside, I hate waking up in the morning and having to get out of my warm bed. That's a lot of hate, if anyone is keeping track. But the thing I hate the most is not being able to wear skirts. I have developed a love affair with skirts in the last two years. They are so comfortable, and always look nice. I feel girly but not fussy when I'm wearing them. They never pinch or ride up like pants, and they are way more flattering. In the Winter, my wardrobe gets cut in half because I can't wear skirts... Even with a pair of thick tights, my legs still get cold. And wearing tights means I can't wear open toed shoes, which kills my shoe wardrobe too.

This year it seems that Winter is teasing me. It gets warm for a couple of days, then cold again, then warm, then cold... I get to wear a skirt for one day, and then its over. My poor little legs can't wait until Spring!!

And now, possibly, I will go to the gym... I need to get my legs in Spring skirt wearing shape!

What I'm Thinking About While I'm NOT Doing Homework...

1. My cap and gown came today. If that's not incentive to finish my degree, I don't know what is! I don't want to brag, but I look pretty cool in a robe with big sleeves and a flat top hat!

2. I hate being sick. Even though I'm starting to feel a lot better, I hate coughing and blowing my nose every ten minutes!

3. I used to think that I was destined to be great. I wasn't sure what I would be great at, but I was sure that power and prestige were going to be mine. I loved the stress of having big, important things to do, and loved being busy. But lately, I just want to live a nice quiet life, and be happy with what I already have. I wonder if it is a phase I am going through, or just me getting older. I guess time will tell!

4. Is it shallow to plan a hair color that will look good with the cap and gown?

5. I am blessed beyond anything I deserve!!!
