a bunch of crap you didn't want to know.

-i love getting mail.  when i was unemployed, the highlight of my day was always mail day.  and now, i come home from work and ask my mom every.single.day if i got mail that day (i usually don't.  i need a pen pal).
-i once bought chapstick from bath & body works.  it was $7.  i never forgave myself for it.
-my favorite treat is chocolate covered pretzels.  i never get tired of them.  in fact, i made my mom buy me a giant bag from costco the other day.  i have had to ration them out so i didn't down the whole package in one day.  don't worry, there is still a significant amount left.  
-sometimes i blog stalk people i don't know.  and then i read about their cute "how i met my husband" stories and get sad.  i want a cute story like that.
-i wish i was brave enough to pick up my life and move where no one knows me.  sometimes a fresh start is sounds really appealing.
-i used to be the most anti-diet coke person there was.  now i can't seem to get enough of it.  seriously.  i feel like one is permanently attached to my hand.
-i wish that i had the vocal pipes of a black lady.  that might sound racist, it's not.
-i can't wait until that time when i have kids.  i looooooove kids.  i think i'll be a good mother some day.  i'm not ready now, but i am anxiously awaiting when it is that time for me.
-i miss my grandma's pancakes.  no one has ever made pancakes like her.  they were dense and not really at all fluffy...and i like it better that way.  my mom says it's because grandma used the greasy fat from bacon or melted butter.  my aunts always say grandma's stuff tasted better because she made it with love (cheesy much?).  i think it is because my grandma was just awesome.  no one is as awesome as she was.
-i used to not appreciate general conference.  at all.  i can hardly remember anything from any conference before  my 22 birthday.  now i can't get enough of it.
-i feel like i have lost the touch of making new friends.  i don't really know why.  maybe people like me less than before?  maybe i like other people less?  maybe i'm destined to be a hermit?  i don't know.
-i'm obsessed with leggings.  i would wear a flowy dress with leggings every day.  it's like wearing sweats that are work appropriate.
-i'm obsessed with zooey deschanel.  her show '"new girl" is freaking awesome.  i think she is so great.
-i love being sore after a good work out.  my favorite kind of sore comes on the morning after a really intense night of volleyball.
-i love fresh peas.  i don't think there is anything better than eating peas straight from the pod after they are picked from the garden.
-on the other hand, i hate cooked peas.  they make me want to throw up.  when i was little, i used to shove them in my napkin so my mom thought i ate them.
-i sometimes feel like i don't fit in anywhere, even though i know there are places that i will always belong.
-i have to stop myself from rocking out at work while listening to pandora.  there are some songs, fleetwood mac especially, that just stirs up a need to belt.
-i wish i was creative.  i see so many people i know making this cute stuff for cheeeeap.  i'm afraid i am going to have to forgo my frugality and buy the expensive originals because i just can't do this creating thing.
