Smelly Life

I was walking on campus the other day and suddenly my nose started reeling! The wonderful smell of cologne wafted over to me and made me so happy. Thank you so much to the men of the world who make my day a little better by smelling great.
I know I've said I'm scared of children, but I think I figured it out. I don't like the way babies and kids smell. It makes me gag. Walking by the baby isle in the grocery store just makes me angry and sick. I have so much to learn.
And why would someone bring their child into your house and let them run amuck? How disrespectful is that?! I won't go into that story more, but I will run a tight ship with my kids. If they don't want to be good, then off to boarding school with them! They are seriously going to be the most well-behaved children ever...just like me. Mark my words!!!
And Annabelle is the cutest thing ever. She makes me very happy. All day today, all she wanted to do was sleep on my lap. I hope I love my children as much. Heaven help us.

Holy Jazz Game!

I saw President Monson at the Jazz game tonight! I'm not kidding! He was standing and clapping in one of those 'cool people' boxes in the Delta Center. (I refuse to say 'Energy Solutions Arena.) I was so happy that he had time to come support! So cool. Alex and I even got on the megatron for our amazing dance moves! I love my puppy, and my husband. My friend and extended family member is coming this weekend and is going to go out with my stunningly beautiful friend that I haven't seen for two months! I am so excited. I can't believe people like to go to scary movies. I hate them. I get disturbed just by watching the commercials. Did I mention I love my dog? She gets a mouthful of food, brings it in to where we are, spits it out, then eats it all by us. It's cute, trust me. And she brings me her bowl when it's empty, even up the stairs! Ok...this was a random post, but I'm a random person. Deal!

One of those days

I haven't had the best day ever. Parts were great, but mostly not. I wish I could trade my body in for a new one, but I guess that's not an option. Last Thursday in class, I got brave and made a comment. Now, I get terrified in classroom settings and never speak. I'm more a fan of absorbing and forming my opinions quietly, because most of the time I don't have an opinion on what we're talking about yet. So I spoke up. I had a normal comment, but when I speak, my mind goes blank and murky...same when I bear my testimony in church (or on a bus, as my YAs will attest to). Well, I spent two minutes trying to say what I meant, using stupid examples that weren't really great examples of what I was trying to say, my mind completely fuzzy, and it was really bad and embarrassing, and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since. Why?! Now I am terrified to go back to class, because I sit in the front row every day and I get so scared that people are going to look at me and think I'm stupid. Ugh.
The bright points in my day consisted of being with my parents, eating a fabulous dinner with Alex, and having my beautiful friends tell me specifically that they made it into MDT! Annabelle is using my foot as a pillow right now, which completely makes up for the fact that she chewed up my cell phone charger today, and just may have electrocuted herself.
It makes me sad when Alex is frustrated because tonight I can't do a thing about it. I want him to be able to sleep for 8 hours more that once a month, and I want the internet to always work, and I want his silly chemistry to make sense and to work for him.
And this weather. I need the sun!! I am ready for the spring!!! Soon, please!
p.s. Hugh Jackman is stellar. His opening song at the Oscars? Hilarious! Definitely my favorite part of the night.
