A Thousand Different Directions

Well because I haven't found anything noteworthy to blog about recently, my mother threatened to stop following my blog. And we wouldn't want that to happen, so here I am.

I've been going throughout my days trying to think of things to talk about. Really my life can't be that boring, can it? I think that sometimes you just have to get a new pair of eyes and see things differently. Learn to appreciate the little things that may seem insignificant. And since I have been thinking about this, my brain has gone on overload and is running in a thousand different directions, hence the post title.

Before I begin, I contemplated whether I should discuss all of these random thoughts in one post or spread it out just in case I can't find any to talk about in the near future, but I think with this new mindset that hopefully this non-existent blogging problem will disappear :)

As I am typing, I'm listening to the POURING down rain. LOVE it! Such a wonderful sound. Washington is the best! Oh Marilyn (aka: my other mom) your pictures will be coming soon so don't you fret! It is beautiful here!

Today at work I was very busy. Thank goodness, it made the 7 hour day fly by! Sometimes the teachers didn't really have anything for me to do so that left me with one very important job...sharpening pencils. For 40 minutes I sat and sharpened over and over again. I'm pretty sure the sharpener got overheated. But it did have this awesome light that turned on when the pencil was done!

Oh I also decided that TOMS are the most comfortable shoes in the world and that I love them! They are just so lightweight and don't make my feet hurt at all. Especially after I've been standing all day. They are perfect and I suggest that everyone have a pair! Just girls though, I don't really know how I feel when I see guys wearing them...They just seem a little feminine. 

I've had a cold for the past week and I feel way better now but today a lady at school asked me if I had one. I was like, "I thought I was getting over it" Oh man! If I still sound like I have one, that's not good. I've had my fair share of headaches this week. Not fun!

Last week we had a ward temple trip. I love going to the temple so much and really miss going every week. I miss having a set schedule and being so spiritually uplifted every day! So I'm working on that, getting back in those good habits. Reading scriptures, watching devotionals, personal prayer. I know I'm not in a religion class right now and the temple isn't conveniently up the street but I can still do the little things.

look at that blue sky!!!

Have you ever been laying in bed and your brain just can't turn off?? That happened to me recently. I can't even remember what I was thinking about but I just couldn't fall asleep. I don't think I was up that late but it's times like these when 5 minutes can seem like an hour. I'm also fascinated with dreams. I wish we could remember all of our dreams! That would be so cool! It's amazing what our brain can do and sometimes dreams are so weird. Most of the time it's things that are completely unrealistic or you'll have an imaginary place with real people or you'll have some random people in there. It's just interesting, especially when you can remember them. And they always make for good stories haha!
