Terrific Tuesday, and other random thoughts

This whole blogging thing is sort of fun. I'm sure it's boring to the rest of you, because there really isn't any substance to this whole ordeal, but that will change once i'm back in the little city. You see one of my roommates and I came up with this idea, cleverly called "Ideas in a Jar". We don't have a jar yet, just ideas but basically its going to cure all boredom or will be the attempt to do so. Some ideas we have

tp someones room
throw a dance party
make a quote wall
skateboard
read magazines at walgreens

and PLENTY more. Seriously i think we have over 40 ideas. some a little more intense than others, but this will be where I post all the happenings when we all reunite and actually go through with this. so wa-la. the purpose of this blog.

also. i want to try something new. it'll be called terrific tuesday. basically like my grateful journal, but on steroids. but just on tuesday. you see i have a little grateful journal, that I list 10 things everyday that I am grateful for. no repeats, so somedays it really makes me have to think about things I'm grateful for. I started this back in November when our Relief Society gave us all grateful journals. Some days are harder than others, but its becoming more of a habit so that's great news right?? anyways here are 2 things that I am WAY grateful for. They've basically shaped this week to be one of the best yet.

1. On Sunday afternoon, after my typical nap (yes, I take naps, sue me) I got the cutest picture text. This little joy:                                  

the message included: B came out of primary with this on the back of her paper! you and c haven't been forgotten!

now you're probably thinking that It's obviously been a long time since i've been around people my own age if this is the best text i've ever gotten. not true. This little now spunky 5 year old is one of my favorite people. I'm so grateful that after not seeing her for a year, that she still remembers me. I'm grateful that because of her, I was able to have tea parties every few weekends and have now learned which candy tastes good dipped in water ( definitely NOT cherry or strawberry flavored). I'm grateful that she taught me to enjoy the little things in life and to have fun with everything. Thanks little one, and let's hope that this drawing was for something good,and not a description of something that scares ya ;)

2.  The second terrific thing that has helped shape this into a great week is one of my best friends,Corinne. We'll now refer to her as Ca-rinny. Why? Because that's what I call her of course. Yesterday she called me and told me the best news I have ever heard, hands down. Now it wouldn't be my place to tell the internet her great news, but just know this. IT WAS THE BEST! I'm so grateful to have carinny around because she'll tell me the things I don't want to hear when she thinks I need to hear it, and is one of the  most caring people i have ever met. I'm so happy carinny (if you ever read this) that things are starting to go your way, and that you'll always be my friend :)


 some minor little terrific things that have happened?
-the sun has woken me up the past 2 DAYS! 2 days in a row people, this is a huge, huge deal.
-on thursday it's supposed to be 57 degrees with rain, but nonetheless 57 degrees. hallelujah!
-I ordered my cute top from spool 72 and used my gift card which means its was practically free!
ok enough with my ranting. If you find yourself trying to cure boredom today, try starting a grateful journal :)
