Will you make this for me?

 

Um Peach Pie in a Jar..sign me up.  I would really like to make one of these....but really I just want someone to bring it to me. Anyone, Anyone?

Can you speak a little louder?

So I read this article yesterday about having a Quarter Life Crisis, and as I am reading it I am thinking two things:

1. I am pretty sure I am having one
2. I need to figure out what it is I want to do with my life.

Then I found this great quote....so I am sitting here attempting to listen... but I can't seem to hear it. So heart kindly speak a little louder so I can hear you. I would like to avoid the BLOW.

Very Soon....

This will happen in my kitchen quite often...and I am pretty excited about it. Welcome home Lisa...a little over a week. I can make it!

Things I’m Excited About

1. Jenny, Morgan and Angie all arrive in the City of Salt tomorrow. I am so excited I can hardly stand myself.
2. GPA, Shelia, Mitch, LoLo and Sarah are all getting here today, yeah family :)
3. Kickball Tonight (even though I have a very big fear that I might kick the ball and miss when it is “pitched” to me) Go Team I’d Kick That!
4. Blake and Nellie’s Open House. It is going to have an ice cream sunday bar. There are few things in this world I enjoy more than soft serve ice cream.
5. The weekend, wow do I need one!

P.S. I am working on getting some pictures up from my brother's wedding, my camera has an issue, so I had to use my sisters and I haven’t cleaned up the photos yet since they are trapped on her memory card.

The Pre-Dump

So I headed to Sun Valley last weekend, partly to hang out with my BFF Morgan and partly to visit this boy I had been talking to almost every day for the last month and a half. I was excited at the prospect because I thought things were going well and was anxious to see how the weekend was going to play out. I make my way up there Thursday night, hang out with said boy and have a really good time. The next day he calls me after he is done with work, but is being kind of weird and standoffish. I try to shrug it off and head over to his house. I do need to clarify one thing, I am in no way “together” with this boy, we are just hanging out, in the getting to know you phase. He lives 4.5 hours away from me for heaven’s sake, I in no way consider him my boyfriend. And yet all of the sudden I hear him start to spew off phrases such as “It’s not you it’s me (which if you know me you know how much I think this line is total bullocks),” “I have been burned in the past (join the club buddy) and I just can’t let myself get into something else,” and “You’re a really beautiful girl, but I don’t want to give you the wrong impression (too late).” I am stunned…I am getting dumped….but wait I am confused I didn’t know we were together? How is it possible that this could be happening? So instead of saying something witty in the moment that would follow along the lines of reminding him that there is no need to “let me go” because in fact he didn’t have me in the first place and perhaps he is putting the cart before the horse, I sit there in total shock and then cry like a bit of a fool. Because, really I don’t like being dumped, I mean what respectable girl does? And when something happens to me I don't like I have a tendency to cry. Not sure why it just seems to be the reaction I have to that. So word to the wise, ladies and gentleman…if you are going to “dump” someone, you should make sure that you are with them first. Because really a pre-dump is just bad form.

Found this Quote and Loved It

"Decide that you want it more than you are afraid of it." - Bill Cosby

Kind of made me think, so simple yet so true. I was talking to a good friend the other day and we were talking about making tough decisions and how when it really came down to it the actual decision it didn't take all that long to make. It was just getting to the point where you could be OK with the consequences of your decision, because either way you went it was going to be a little rough. This just put it so eloquently. Stop being afraid, I loved it.
