a happy list

catch-up

Today was a grumpy day.
It has not been the best of weeks, so I suppose that was a fitting way to end it.
I finished this book yesterday.  I kept picking it up today just because I wanted to keep reading and taking in the inspiring words inside.  Kelle is just super great.  And it was a most excellent book. 
Also, my plants are all growing.
Well almost.
We have a little squash, several forget-me-nots, some small onions, an aloe plant that is looking much better than a few days ago...
and no more daisies.

my four fears

Today's post is easy, because I am afraid of exactly four things.

1: Spiders
I just cannot explain enough how awful they are - if they're in my house I suppose.  If they're outside, they're tolerable, but inside, they are surely there to attack me, and they are in my house with that intent alone.

2: The dentist
This fear stems from the time I went to the dentist when I was eight years old, and he pulled out two of my teeth without telling me he was going to.  He did that a few more times, and now any time I have to go to the dentist it's like the most ridiculous ordeal.  I am twenty years old and I still cry sometimes.  Oh and having to get my wisdom teeth out is like, this giant cloud of scaryness hanging over me all the time.

3: Airplanes
I have never flown, and I'm sure once I do fly a few times this fear will go away.  Everyone always tells me that there are fewer airplane crashes than car crashes.  And this is true, I just really hate the fact that it's way more likely that I survive a car crash than a plane crash.  Something goes wrong with your plane, and you're pretty much dead.

4: Lightning
I like rain.  I like going outside in the rain.  But if the lightning gets too close, it's a deal breaker.

I suppose there are other things, but they come and go.  I'm afraid of these four things all the time.  Almost.
I don't remember where I got this picture.  I didn't take it.  But it's cool.

what i do.

Today's post is easy, because at this point, I barely have a job.

So what do I do?

I read good books
make art
watch too much netflix
snuggle my man
try to be a good cook, 
a good homemaker, 
and keep an adorable apartment
I listen to mika too loud 
and sing along (badly.)
I blog (also badly.)

and most importantly

it is summertime, and I am happy.

favorite blogger?

I love a lot of blogs.  It's partly why I made one of my own.  There were all these awesome people I wanted to follow and be friends with. (That maybe sounded creepy.)

One of my favorites is lex at he and i.  Her blog and little family are both adorable and I totally wish we were real life friends.  Bonus, she's currently hosting a giveaway (so I get to share with you all how awesome lex is and get extra points!)

day four - a quote

(via pinterest)

This quote is perhaps my favorite from les miserables.
I like that it comes at the very end of the show, after everyone has been through hell and back,
as a reminder
that everything turns out right in the end.

day 3: things that make you uncomfortable.

pants.
that last picture seriously describes me perfectly.  I'd rather wear a dress any day.  Or shorts.  Shorts are much better than pants.  Pants are the worst.

But really - talking on the phone.  I can't stand talking on the phone to people unless I know them pretty well in person.  When husband and I were dating, we had to do long distance summers, and we'd talk for hours.  Talking on the phone to somewhat when I don't even know what they look like is just really bad.  I have had a couple phone interviews for jobs - they were awful.  I didn't get the jobs.  Probably because they could tell I was shaking with nervousness the entire time.

the end.

a day behind.

So I found this and I wanted to do it.
I'm already a day behind.  Go me.

So, starting now (which will make this the "blog every day from may second to june first challenge")


the story of my life:

I was born in the summer.  This was excellent until I was fifteen.  Then it seemed like I had to wait much longer than everyone else did to date and drive and all that wonderful stuff you get to do when you turn sixteen.  I have a really great mom, and an excellent dad.  I also have two younger sisters, lou and mags, and one male sibling, also younger.

I was very much not a tomboy.  I loved pink and pretending I was a disney princess.  I tried a lot of sports and was awful at all of them.  I've since taken up running (sort of) because I figure I can't be bad at it.

I believe that every kid has an awkward stage.  Mine was very long.  I was an awkward kid, and an awkward teenager.  I'm probably now an awkward adult.  Luckily through all the awkwardness, I found myself someone to marry. 

I met husband my freshman year of college when we lived in the same dorm.  We dated for (almost) two years and then became Mr. & Mrs.  We're currently working on finishing school (because I didn't go to college to get married, I came to get a degree) and living happily ever after.

We have a happy life, and I wouldn't trade it for anything at all.
