Second, hello all you lovely people! I hope you're all doing swell and that your lives are simply grand :)
Lately, I've been thinking about things, like I do, and now imma write about them, like I do.
Last night, I had a lovely girls night out with some dear friends. One of the nice things about being married is that Casey's girl friends have taken me in as one of their own and have become some of my most favourite people. I love them all so much and I'm really glad I have them. ANNNYWAYS, so I'm at said girls night and one of the girls in the group happens to write for KSL (for you non-Utah folk, KSL is a news website and tv channel) and she wrote an article about couples who share a facebook, interviewing a few couples to talk to them about why they share and all that jazz.
So we're all talking about this and I've decided this is how I feel about it: I don't like it. If you don't trust your spouse to have their own facebook account, there's trouble a-brewing. that's all imma say about that.
Next. Politics. if you know me (and if you don't, you're about to learn something new), you know I'm not a huge fan of politics or discussing them. Therefore, election years have always been my least favourite years because e'rrbody feels this burning desire to be heard and to talk about politics. Now. Let it be known that I don't frown upon educated and civil discussion; i think it's wonderful when people who are well-read and open-minded discuss/post on facebook interesting articles, viewpoints, etc. because it helps me, as someone who doesn't usually seek out that kind of reading material, to see what's going on.
HOWEVER. I do give serious angry eyes/vibes to people who don't know what they're talking about, but post to give the image that they do, or who are just posting things to ruffle feathers. this bugs the hell out of me. i see what you're doing there. no one appreciates it. i will be
the spider is still on the wall...
HAPPY NEWS!!!!! so many of you might know that I am a HUGE FAN of Mika. He hardly ever comes to the States and I recently heard that he was coming. So i checked the dates and there was a show in LA and I got sooooooo excited, but then, tragedy struck: the show was on a Sunday. BLAST.
So a few days go by and I was on facebook and happened to see that a second show was added to LA... THE FOLLOWING MONDAY. I immediately called my mom screaming and GUESS WHAT? THIS KID IS GOING TO MIKA ON OCTOBER 22.
Words cannot describe how happy I am. It's so many dreams coming true and I will be talking about this non-stop until it happens (and probably afterwards). SOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!
hmmmmm what else? Oh! I had a birthday (shout hurray!). it was pretty magical. Casey loaded me up with junk food and Dr. Pepper so I really couldn't ask for more :)
Lloyd is still awesome. he takes naps on the couch with me these days. it's nice :)
Nature things!! Today, I went with my most lovely Caitlin (awkwardly enough, she's Casey's ex-girlfriend... and we've become the best of friends. I don't know how to live without this girl) to the Gardens at Thanksgiving Point and it was soooo lovely! It reminded me a ton of the gardens throughout Europe (Jardines Botanicos in Espana and the Borromean Islands come to mind) and it was just super beautiful and lovely and amazing. I smelled so many flowers and it was all around glorious :)
We also went to Farm Country. Here's a confession: I realllllllllllllly want a pet cow. like bad. and at Farm Country, there were 2 baby calves (SO SOFT) and a big ol' dairy cow that followed us around and loved scratchies and lovies and I just wanted to take her come with me (cow + corolla?). Some day, I will live in a place where I can have a cow. judge all you want, but when I'm drinking fresh milk and you're not, then you'll be sorry...
also. in the process of this post, i revamped my blog. i had no idea blogger had so many nifty things that i could do. expect more changes in the future.
and that's all I can think of right now. OH. JUST KIDDING- I thought of something. I'm taking a lovely, short vacation down to Vegas for fall break (fall break=magic. in Utah, they have fall break usually mid-Octoberish. WHY WAS THIS NOT A PART OF MY CHILDHOOD?). I'm quite excited!! We're going for Caitlin's birthday and it's just gonna be the bee's knees :)
and now that's all I can think of. and I'm sleepy. and the spider is still on the wall...
nighty night to you all :)
