Some Things I want to be Someday....

• Wound Care/ Old folks/ OR Nurse (obbbvuously. Sheesh)

• Country Singer: I would put on an awesome concert. Just ask my Freshman Roomies :)
• Certified Group Instructor: yea, lets get paid to workout and be peppy. "Exercise gives you endorphin's. Endorphin's make  you happy. Happy people just don't shoot their husbands. They just don't."-Elle Woods
• Craft Shop Owner: i like crafts. I could do them all day long.
• Writer: It would be reallllly cool to write a best seller. Like Twilight or something...
• Cowgirl: I like horses. and cowboy boots. and southern accents. I think that's a sign.
• Tan: I want to be tan. Spray tan, fake'n'bake. who cares.

Story of A Little Friend...

I have a friend. 

Its a good friend.

Somewhat of a comfort blanket. 

I usually carry it with me in my purse, my car, and in times where a possible scuffle could occur. 

One Christmas, I opened my stocking to find my little friend all gift wrapped and looking pretty.

That was the begining of a beautiful relationship.

Pepper spray.

To tell you the truth, I havn't used it yet; Which is a blessing, although I am itching to use it.

I think my dad regrets ever giving me the pepper spray after I almost accidentally used it on him once.

But I didn't!

One night at like 2 am or something, I wake up to a dim light on downstairs. 

I got up, grabbed my pepper spray (which was so conveniently placed under my pillow), and slowly descended down the stairs.

"Hellllllo?!?" I yell as I continued down the stairs.

No answer.

Then without any warning, out of the room comes my dad who is shocked to see me let alone with my pepper spray in hand.

"Get that thing out of my face!" He yells. 

I guess I don't blame him for being startled. 

But none the less, safety first.

The next Christmas I asked for a tazer.

He said no.

You can imagine how awesome it is that Pop's signed my mom, sister, and I up for a

Womans Handgun Course. 

This should be fun.

:)

new book

ok so i am definitely reading a new book.

it is life changing

:)

and that BIG for me to say because I rarely read for leisure 

(as Tirzah noted) hehe 

...

anyway, so i'm reading through this awesome book and in it, i came across a Note called "Just for Today"

and i thought it was so cool that i'm posting it on my mirror (yea, i'm a nerd like that) ...

...and i'm sharing it with you

...enjoy.

1. Just for today, I will be happy. This assumes to  be true what Abraham Lincoln said, that "most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be."  Happiness is from within; it is not a matter of externals.

2. Just for today, I will adjust myself to what is, and not try to adjust everything to my own desires. I will take my family, business and luck as they come and fit myself to them.

3. Just for today I will take care of my body. I will excercise it, care for it, nourish it, not abuse nor neglect it, so that it will be a perfect machine for my bidding. 

4. Just for today, I will try to strengthen my mind.  I will study. I will learn something useful.  I will not be a mental loafer. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration.  

5. Just for today, I will exercise my soul in three ways: I will do somebody a good turn, and  not get found out. I will do at least two  things I don't want to--just for exercise. 

6. Just for today, I will be agreeable. I will look  as well as I can, dress becomingly as possible, talk low, act courteously, be liberal with praise, critisize not at all, nor find fault with anything and not try to improve or regulate anyone. 

7. Just for today, I will try to live through this day only,  and not tackle my whole life problem at once. I can do something for twelve hours that would appall me if I felt that I had to  keep it up for a lifetime.     

8. Just for today, I will have a program. I may not follow it exactly, but I will have it. I will save myself from two pests: hurry and indecision.  

9. Just for today, I will have a quiet half hour all by myself, and relax. During this half hour sometimes I will think of God so as to get a little more perspective
 into my life.  

10. Just for today, I will be unafraid. Especially I  will not be afraid to be happy, to enjoy what is beautiful, to love and to believe that those I love most, love me.

renaissance fair

today i got invited to a renaissance fair.

to be honest, after hearing what a renaissance fair has to offer, I have a feeling it's not my cup of tea.

the person trying to sell me on the idea of this renaissance fair wasn't exactly getting the hint that i'm not extremely interested in going. 

The more they told me about it, the more i am convinced its the last place i want be.

they were telling me their experiences at this fair in an Irish accent which definitely made it even harder to take seriously. 

but i guess thats how they talk at the "Ren Fair": in Irish accents. 

and apparently there are "all kinds of gorgeous men that come up to you, put their arms around you and dip you into a passionate kiss."

Haha! what? that has creeper written all over it! 

 If you've ever seen the movie Role Models,  you know how awkward Zanthia is.

Yea, that's how this renaissance fair sounded verrrrry familiar to Zanthia.
