When Everything You Thought Was Wrong....

Once in a long while, things come out utterly different than you could have expected. Something you never wanted to like, you end up loving, something you love gets old, someone you didn't expect to talk to again calls, etc, etc, etc. You know what I'm sayin'. This can be fun once in a while... or it can suck. But let's focus on the fun things. A few of my discoveries as of recently...

I really like avocados. I went nearly 22 years without appreciating the things. This new love is mainly due to my sister in law's incredible guacamole.
I like travel books. I think they're fascinating. This is due to one of my classes at school. We literally study travel books and maps. Gotta love upper division courses.
The Orem Library is AWESOME. I don't think I'll ever become a member because it costs like 80 bucks if you're a non-resident, but I greatly enjoyed the place. The visit was due to an assignment for my amazing travel book class.
And to wrap up the post for the day.... I usually don't like entertainment that is old school. Things like black and white movies, old music, that kind of stuff... but due to Pandora's genius suggestions, I can't get enough of this song lately, so I thought I'd link the YouTube vid.

Enjoy. I certainly have.

And, just to make the moment more legendary, this song was sung on my one of my favorite TV shows on Monday night. True Story.

Fall is Finally Here.

For me, fall is a time for my soul to be inspired. As corny as that sounds, for me it rings true. The colors and the crisp smell and feel of the air brings out good things for me. I love sweater weather, driving with my windows down, and the festivities of the beautiful season.

Try not to get caught up in something
you don't have...

I said this to a friend tonight, and as soon as I said it, I realized it was for me. There is so much beauty to take in right now. I smile just thinking about it. Happy Fall everybody. I'm so glad it's finally here.

Things That I Like... and Things That I Just Don't.

I really like my new boyfriend fit shorts from American Eagle, they're comfy and wonderful.
I really don't like my dad's teeny tiny running shorts, they make me want to throw up a lot.

I really like the smell of my amazing new perfume, every time I spray it I'm delighted.
I really don't like the smell of the squash that I accidentally left on the stove top for the weekend... sorry mom.

I really like to get letters from my friend Jessica on her mission, they make me smile.
I really don't like to get my cell phone bill in the mail, it's always more than it should be.

I really like to sleep with my window open, it makes my room smell nice and I sleep kinda chilly.
I really don't like when I come home at night when the parents are gone and realize I left the back door open, I have to call someone to come make sure no one's creepin in my house.

I really like pb&j sandwiches and Capri Sun, they make me feel like a kid.
I really don't like when my parents ask me why I came home so late, they make me feel like a kid.

That's all for today... this may be a post I do more often...
