Grey's Anatomy

So I watched the season finale of Grey's Anatomy and it just reintroduced the fact that I am scared of death. Not necessarily of me dying, although that scares me too, but mostly of the people around me dying. I cry every time I think about my parents dying and I cried-ish while watching this latest episode. I am not morbid or anything but sometimes after hearing stories of others I start to think about my own family and after watching this episode all I wanted was to be surrounded by the people I love. Unfortunately I am sitting here in my dark room all alone and it  is kind of creepy which is why I am writing this so I don't freak myself out. 


I was just reminded tonight of how precious life isand how it shouldn't be taken for granted. If you love someone, tell them. Tell them often. "I love you" is a powerful statement that should be used as often as possible. I am not one of those people that believes that if you say it too much it loses its meaning because to me, if you love someone, you want to tell them all of the time and you want to make sure they know that you love them.


I am who I am today because of the people I have had the blessing of knowing throughout my life. Even though most of those people are no longer in my life, I have them to thank for the person I have become and I have been lucky enough to be born into an amazing family that has been, and always will be, there for me. I love my family very much and I love those who I have known over my lifetime and I am excited for the people I will meet in the future because I know they will impact my life as well. 


I didn't mean to write this big long depressing post I just feel like sometimes I take for granted the people in my life and this is me publicly saying thank you and I love you.

There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved.

To the window...To the wall

I had the pleasure of hearing a song I danced to in my 8th grade dances tonight on my way home from work and it made me think about how insane Jr High was. Growing up sucks but the things Jr High School kids have to put up with is a little ridiculous, if only their parents knew... :)

But anyway, back to the present. I found out at work today that we have to switch over to wearing all black, white, and tan starting in July and I am not looking forward to it. Wearing black all the time depresses me, especially in the summer! Stupid owner who thinks wearing neutral colors makes us look more professional. But on the upside, (because I am told there is always an upside) this gives me an excellent valid reason to go shopping!

Speaking of work, I heard these two "jokes" ( and yes these people think they are jokes because they break out in laughter after they say them) about 203843 times today so I am going to vent about it.

1.

- Me: "How are you wanting your hair cut?"

- Them: "Shorter" (followed by them laughing to themselves because they think they are so clever.)

  If I had a dollar for every time someone said that I would be able to buy all the black white and tan clothes I wanted.

2.

- Me: " Would you like your neckline rounded or squared?" (some people really do care)

- Them: "I don't know I never see it" (ha.ha.ha.)

- Me: "Good one sir. Good one."

If you go and get your hair cut, do not say these things. You are not the first person to think of these responses and I promise it is not as funny as you think it is. :)

I will end on a happy note tonight though, I went grocery shopping today and bought myself some of those totino's pizzas and I am so looking forward to eating them!

Spider Solitaire

Some things I decided this morning.

1. I may or may not be addicted to spider solitaire. 

2. I absolutely HATE folding laundry (hence the 4 loads chillin in baskets)

3. Cloudy days make me depressed.

4. I really need to learn how to cook. ( I am going off of Cap'n Crunch and Eggo Waffles for the past 5 days)

5. I miss my mom and dad! 

6. Second job this summer? Possibly...

7. Chocolate licorice is amazing.

Moving on...Bart and I went canoeing on Sunday and it was so much fun! We ended up by some weeds and there were soooo many HUGE fish everywhere. I was creeped out. Give me a snake any day but for some reason those fish were too much. It was beautiful though and I look forward to doing it again soon!
