The Eclectic Post

So, I had a lot of random ideas for posts this week, but none that would stand well on their own, and so I created what I like to call…the Eclectic Post. This post will be a glimpse into how my mind works (see if you can keep up)

I’ve decided that Nicholas Sparks and I have a love/hate relationship. How so? Well, the man writes some of the most amazing love stories and so I love him. He can never end a book happily, and so I ate him. haha. These last few weeks, I’ve been reading his books and it’s just KILLING me that something tragic ends all of them. You kill me Nicholas. Why can’t it end happily? I mean, I agree that books shouldn’t be “magic worlds” where nothing goes wrong (like how Stephenie Meyer cannot, for the life of her, have tragedy in her books…they all end perfectly), but still. Really?!

Here I am happy and smiley, reading some precious love story stuff…

Here I am crying because no one is happy in the end…

Next, I love my crockpot. But I am developing a fear of cooking roasts. They just don’t compare to Dad’s. And I never pick out good ones…or maybe I do and then I just ruin them. That’s a huge possibility.

Life Unexpected. New CW Show. I am loving it. It’s kind of 7th Heaven meets Gilmore Girls (not because they are witty like GG, just because it’s about a girl who had a kid in high school) meets…I don’t know…something else. It’s pretty good though. First 3 episodes on CWtv.com right now…just sayin

*Do we all recognize the guy on the left..because you should…*

On Thursday I had to drive Melissa’s car to go tutoring (because her committee is in charge of the tutoring thing, but she has a class so she couldn’t go, but they needed someone to drive and I was going so I drove her car.) It was kind of nerve racking to drive someone else’s car. And I also realized that I will have to drive Mali for the rest of my life because I don’t like how other cars drive and I love how Mali drives. Anyway, we got to the tutoring place and like no one came. After an hour, we realized that there was no school the next day, so the guy in charge of the whole thing told us to leave. (P.S. this was pretty much the only eventful thing I did all week…)

On Friday, my friend Jenny (from Whole Grain in Mesa) told me she got engaged. I feel like everyone is getting married. The funny thing is, none of the people I know that are getting married go to BYU. What was that stereotype about BYU again?? haha. And then my friend Aubrey (also from Whole Grain) told me she just got her call and is going on a mission to Eugene, Oregon, which is where my friend Justin is serving…small world.

Melissa and I get soup every week at the Creamery in the Cougar eat, and this week when we were there, a guy got in line behind Melissa and they had some banter about who got the last of the bread. It was super cute. And everyday since then she’s said, “Remember when we saw that hot boy at the soup place?” So, we’re planning on going again this week on the same day and time, in the hopes of seeing him again.

Lastly, I have some new favorites. First, 3 new songs I’ve found that I love: Set the Fire to the Third Bar by Snow Patrol, Winter Song by Ingrid Michaelson, and Samson by Regina Spektor (side note: there are 3 songs that I’ve been listening to lately that refer to the story of Samson in the Bible: 1. above mentioned, Samson 2. Hallelujah and 3. Someday we’ll know. That seems a little weird to me…am I alone?) And, today in Sacrament, I learned a new quote that I really like: Life isn’t about avoiding the storms; it’s about learning how to dance in the rain.

And, on that note, I will end my rambling…Oh, also, 5 days til Boise…6 days til Walla Walla (hopefully, cross your fingers for good weather!!)
