Things That Make Me Exponentially Happy :D

So this week is going to be good :) I have already decided, no matter what things are changing or making life less than convenient, this week will be grand! Life is too short to live otherwise!
Here are some of the things that make MY life happy :)
The Bark Park in ABQ, just the name itself implies utter Joy :D
The Color Orange exudes a aura of pleasantness!
Sitting on the kitchen floor in the morning, amidst the hub-ub, trying to wake up enough to figure out what everyone is up to.
Peacocks, God's proof that He loves me and wants me to be happy :D
From the "Baptist's At Our B-B-Q" Movie, When Tartan throws up on the floor after eating "funger" and Orvil says, "Wish I had a dog.". A simple solution to a less than pleasant problem! Gets me every time :)
I really can NOT get enough of the word "Pemberly", it rolls off the tongue so nicely!
There is nothing more inviting in this world then seeing a clear and still large body of Blue pristine water, especially on a hot day, your in your suit and the anticipatory tingles flood your senses as you image the split second before your nervous system realizes that your wet and OH SO HAPPY!
I love the sound of my Long board on gravel, so loud yet just dull enough to let my thoughts easily glide over it and proceed with whatever thought process, if not 7, I'm in the middle of.
The smell of Sulfur, the sting of it in your nose the split second after a firework has gone off, you can literally feel the waft enter your body and take over EVERY other smell in the vicinity. My dad made fireworks when I was younger so this takes me back to an ENTIRE scene at the old house, the "Dog House", his work shed, would be at eh end of the property and often the sun would be going down when I was sent to ever so politely ask him to come in for a phone call, "DAAAAAAAAAAADDD!!!!!!!!PHOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE!!!!!!!!!!" Good job EP, you are a true helper ;)
Phillie's Baseball! Win or lose the look of the Verde grass, the crisp uniforms, the fans all clad in red and Philadelphia blue, nothin' like it, nothin' better!
The smell of animals, call me gross but that, "Fresh from the barn" smell makes me smile every time!
Shapes Mac N' Cheese, there is something to the geometry of the shape that seems to hold more cheese flavoring, it WILL be proven to be THE cheesiest someday I'm sure of it!
Ferris Bueller.Need I say more? I didn't think so.
Weezer, all of it.
Post Secret Sunday's, there is power in knowing others secrets, even if you don't know them at all.
Tie Dye ANYTHING, it's EP's National Color!
Knowing that someday I will be in Ireland.
My best friends :) You know who you are :)
Dancing, the thing I do when I don't know HOW else to function.
Crying, whether you admit it or not, its a release.
Laughing, whether you know it or not, it Always helps.
I love Elizabeth and Darci's relationship, in an odd way it is completely dysfunctional, and I totally understand it.
Sleeping on my tummy. Makes me happy.
Making up my own words, I said it, you got it, it's a word! Webster ain't got nothin' on me!
Mi familia. They have to love me :) (they kinda like it too...shhh don't tell ;) )
Cloudy Days, they make me warm and fuzzy inside.
Gossip Girl.Don't judge.
Inside jokes, there are WAY too many to count haha
A book that takes me away.

This could go on forever, but I will leave you with that for now :)

P.S. I love you Gramsy!

Two Steps Forward, PUNCHED IN THE FACE!

Just when I think that I am doing awesome, I say, or do, or think something completely off base! Why is that this always QUITE literally RIGHT after I have a whole thought process about how awesome I am doing?! Because I need too be humbled I would venture! I think it has something to do with the notion that the Lord will continue to try you with something until you have shown that it is no longer something that you struggle with. There is wisdom in that, however it is quite hard to be able to get up on your feet when the bully is punching your face WHILE your standing up, rough right?!

So my question is how do I outsmart the bully BEFORE he punches me, and the usuals don't count. Praying and reading my scriptures are a definite help, I see them as the buffer that keeps me from being completely clobbered at every waking moment, however I feel the need for more! Don't read this wrong please! I LOVE my life , but I know we all struggle with things and mine seems to be getting kicked while I'm still trying to get up. Whew, trying and tiring let me just say!

Perhaps it is simply a test that will only happen for a while, endure EP, keep going! Eventually you will be able to rip the Bully's arm off and throw it at his head! I look forward to that day, and feel that it is coming upon me fast! :D

Well Why Don't You Just Decide For Me, Oh My Word!

So you make desicions and you move on with your life, you live on and forget that we even had a converstaion, yet your still deciding things for me. How does that work! I want my brain to be mine, not yours!
I am in control don't get me wrong, but occassionally those little after thoughts that generally mean nothing seem to sneak attack from my blind side, which also happens to be my weak side.
Then a small mess procedes, but no worries all is back in tip top condition after a little sleep and a phone call to a most beloved best friend. It just never ceases to amaze me how hopefull I am about some people changing there evident and very inconvient faults.
I once asked if I was really so stupid as to believe what had been laid out so beautifully before me, when a good friend of mine wisely replied, "Your not stupid, you are hopeful.".
Well hope our train has had an abrupt stop, sorry for the inconvience, but don't expect an apology, or even a friendly "Oh hello, I didnt' see your heart there.My bad.", cause as in the past tradition, its not coming.
Disclaimer: This IS about a boy, you guessed it. I don't talk to him anymore, I haven't in months. But he is still chasing down my sane thought process and slaughtering it in the streets of my mind. His predictable behavior has struck again and it caught me off guard. Don't be alarmed, I'm fine, just using my blog as an outlet. I actually feel alot better :) Yay for venting!

P.S. Her "amazingly beautiful" blue eyes, yeah they are contacts. Just a heads up.

Soul Sister!

Have you ever met someone who you aren't sure how you lived without?

That person who is so much like yourself that within a week of meeting you finish each others sentences and know their entire personality already?

Well I have many people in my life like that I am very blessed with.

One of them is Mallory McDougal.

She is always making me try to be better, always encouraging me to be my best self, no matter how impossible I feel that that is at the moment.

What would I do without her?!

I wish I could give my Heavenly Father something as spectacular and amazing as he had given me, a Best Friend who REALLY knows me, for all that I am, and Loves me anyways :)

What a blessing :)

I love you Mal Pal!
