Happy St. Patricks Day!

Ever have green eggs and ham?

I have!!
Thanks to Bob Dobbs (awesome pub by campus that isn't part of the "student scene"... which makes it THAT much more awesome)

Ever play Frisbee here (UA Old Main lawn)? With your co-workers and your Associate Dean (aka your boss) during lunch?

I have!!

Ever think this day rocks?

I have!!

Ever read this... haha

Now YOU have (... and ignore the arrow cursor stuck in the middle. I forgot to remove it and am TOO lazy to go back and redo it.) For some strange reason (completely unrelated to this GREEN holiday), I love this. I could get really cynical right now and explain why I love this but won't.

4th on the list!! If you don't know me very well, then you will know that I am totally LOVING (in the most cynical way) that Utah is 4th on this list.



Hope you all have a great day... and as its cheered in Gaelic "Slainte!!" (Good Health).

Life. Rocks.

... cause I have tomorrow off from work and its party preppin time for this weekend. Here are some random thoughts on why my life rocks...

Awesome hair day. My friend Debbie helped me create the subtle "melt" look with my hair that was previously highlighted. It rocks. I think I should do my own hair more often.

Milk is costing over $3 bucks a gallon ...{this will be the one and only time I use this acronym}

FML

See, I even made it smaller cause I am semi-ashamed that i said it. But on the flip side, it will have me rethink about that bowl of cereal for dinner.

I took a Step class last night... and was awful at it. But my legs are super tired today. Which means I worked something.

My husband will be done with school in ONE year. One year folks... sweeeeet!

I will be done with school in 1.5 years. Not as cool as my husband who will be finished a whole summer and fall semester before me, but still rockin.

My sister is having a baby. I figure now that she announced it via Facebook I am allowed to announce it to the bloggin world. That means that my little stinky monster Jaxson is going to be a big brother... and I will be an aunt for the 12th time. Yikes... Albert kids are well on our way to repopulating the earth (before you make a remark... please read my previous post. Many thanks).

and lastly... did I tell you John was turning 27... oh well let me tell you AGAIN!!

He doesn't like to make a "big deal" about his birthday. Actually he likes to make my life miserable around this time of year cause I LOVE to make a big deal about birthdays and he is a grump. I know, I know. The good, ever so kind wife would respect her husbands wishes and not go against what he is forever hating...

I unfortunately am not that wife.

So many things to say... so little time to say them.

I quit.

The 30 challenge that is... I have more important things to say.

Not really. I just am choosing to not do it anymore.

Things to come...

Applauding the select ladies from Oscars night who didn't have their breasts showing and slits up to their privates. Reassured me that living in modesty IS doable- and you don't need to look like a frumpy polygamist to do it (wow, I went there).

The crazy things my 5 year old CTR Primary class says.
Example: "Sister (blank look... since they haven't figured out my last name), did you know that doing drugs makes Jesus sad?" Another child chimes in "yeah, we aren't suppose to smoke cause it makes you SO sick that you will die. Then Jesus will be mad at you".

Duly noted- life lesson learned.

Reading Stephanie Nelson's blog makes me laugh, cry, and pretty much make me want to stop complaining about life.

If I knew how to "tag" or hyperlink anything than I would have you click "HERE" and it would take you to this blog. Unfortunately, my skills are not that savvy. So just look to the right- its there... called NIE NIE Dialogues.

Why I hate my hair so much and wish I could find a style that I like. When I get like this I want to chop it all the way off... unfortunately, its not a good look.

LDS culture

(cause really, its the only group of people who ask me relentlessly)
I L-O-V-E the Gospel and the great friendships I have developed through church.

But seriously, just cause I am 25 turning 26 in August- and NOT had a kid yet, doesn't make me less than you. Super duper that you started at 19 and will have teenagers when you are my age. As soon as I tell you when John and I are having unprotected sex is the day I let you know I am pregnant. Until then, its none of your beeswax. (PS: This includes family members who ask non-stop- Love ya!)

Capeesh?

Well used gift
We all have gifts that get well used. I received a gift when I turned 21 that I wore non-stop...
until now.

My Little friendy Ashley bought be some sandals that have become a staple during these HOT summer months of Las Vegas and Tucson. Sadly, these sandals have been worn SO much that I wore through the sole. :( They are now retired.
Thank you Ashely for 4.5 years of sandal heaven.

and lastly-

Fun filled birthday weekend ahead- even though birthday boy always throws a tantrum and can live up to the song "its my party and I'll cry if I want to". The party goes on. With or without his stubbornness to not celebrate one's own holiday.

(Editors Note: John turns 27!!)

Tha-tha-thats all folks.
