scatttterbrained.


OK. I hate to admit that I am really bad at doing things that I "have" to, but it is true.  I dont know if it is some kind of psychological problem I have where I just feel trapped or overwhelmed or what, but I am really bad at it.  I simply cant do things that I do not like....or at least not for a very long period of time.  I hate jobs that don't require my creativity as a person, are uniformed, and just boring.  I could never be a 
person to sit at a desk all day- hence, I dont have the same job for very long.  I feel that someday when I am graduated from college (who KNOWS when that will be...) that I will be just fine doing some kind of job that I WANT to do.  The only problem is that I have TOO MANY things that I want to do. I want to

  • Be a choir director
  • Teach piano
  • Be a photographer
  • Get a degree in voice performance
  • Cosmetology school
  • Be a dog trainer
  • Design wedding dresses
  • Be a baker
  • Be a graphic designer

Tooooo many things..... I know. But how am I supposed to pick?  I want to do them all and it overwhelms me and stresses me out when I remember that I'm SUPPOSED to be in my 3rd year of college and I have just a little under a year of it  under my belt because I'm stupid and cant figure out what to do with my life.  I need to get my general education out of the way and maybe then I can transfer somewhere to finish school in a field. I just wish I could right now! Uhhggggg....does anybody else just wish they could finish one dang thing?

Today.

Today I woke up sick. Weird story. Let me inform you of what happened.


Last night Robbie and I went to Pei Wei for dinner and after dinner I thought my throat had a piece of rice in it and that was why my throat hurt. Then I kept waking up last night hacking up yellow boogies and blowing my nose. Then woke up today with a HORRIBLE sore throat.  UH OH. So right now I have a horrible headache and my throat hurts and my nose keeps creating boogers to blow out....which brings me to my next point:

I have always thought the nose is a phenomenon.  Hello??! How in the WORLD does a little feature on your face make soooo much mucus? You blow out an entire lake into a kleenex and it feels like its all out, and less than a minute later you can feel a whale swimming around in your new ocean of snot. How does this happen? Why? 


So today I am laying on the lovesac, eating leftover chinese, watching a weird show called "Bark" on one of the 5 channels we get on our tv ( In about 5 minutes I'm going to turn on our Apple TV to watch Seinfeld) blowing my nose and drinking lots of juices.  

I went to target and bought pomegranate juice, apple cider, orange juice, applesauce? (why? because it sounded good) and some Tylenol Flu stuff. I have my fruits cut out for me for the day.


Lacey is wedding dress shopping in Casper and I wish I could see her trying on dresses! I feel like crying just thinking about it.  I almost feel like her mother and I am just so happy and can't believe my baby is getting married....even though she is a good year and a half older than me. Uhhhhh what ok this is getting weird bye.

Kelli Gertrude Perkins





I cant sleep and I am homesick. I love my family and I miss them.  I really miss my parents a lot, but what really want to write about is my dog.  I have a yellow labrador named Kelli.  She is the the joy and light of the Perkins' family.  I honestly don't know where we would all be if it weren't for her.  You may think that sounds drastic, but in all honesty, that dog completes our family. No, she doesn't stay outside...And yes, she does have two down beds, not to mention she owns half of one of the lazy-susans in our kitchen filled with dog treats.  I love Kelli more than most people.  The only people I love more than Kelli would be my family members and my husband. She is spoiled, but never spoiled rotten.  She is sensitive, soft, full of fun, and has great manners! Without her, I don't think I would smile as much as I do. I really miss my dog. A lot of people think it is disgusting how much my family loves Kelli. She is literally a family member and no less; she is treated better than a human.


I just want whoever is reading this to meet one of the most special "people" in my life.



3 of my favorite people!


Santa's little helper

I am the only person she lets use her as a pillow. I consider myself special.


Kelli LOVES to pee in the snow. She almost always has snow on her nose too in the winter.




Just a long trip in the car with my companion.


Kelli loves the boat!




This trip was a "bonding" experience for Kelli and me...And I am not referring to the snuggling.




Kelli and her Uncle Winston

Security Blanket #2

Its true and I am not embarrassed to admit it. I did indeed sleep with my "blankie" until i was 13 years old. I would wrap it around my neck every single night no matter how blazing hot it was in the old house on Big Horn Street (no air conditioning) to prevent vampires from biting my neck. It may seem silly to you, but its better to be safe than sorry. If you could safely prevent a vampire from sucking your blood without garlic or the crucifix, [insert cliche: I can't...I'm Mormon] wouldn't you?

I thought my days of using a security blanket were over until I went shopping at Bed Bath and Beyond a couple weeks after Robbie and I got married. I found this luxurious queen size blanket that I just had to have. It is the softest thing you will ever feel. Moving on, it just so happens that I grew an attachment to this blanket very fast. I not only started using it at night on top of the comforter, but when I decided to sit in the living room, I would bring it out there. When I decided to watch the seasons of The Office on the lovesac, I would bring it there. When I wanted to sit at the computer naked and facebook, I would wrap myself in it. Now I cant sleep at night without it. Most of the time its too hot to use, but I still have to snuggle with it. I didn't take this all very seriously until last night. Robbie and I were in bed and had just said prayers when I noticed that my blanket was missing. He had hidden it and I was really worried that it had somehow got lost. It was a mild panic when I realized I might not be able to sleep with it. Then Robbie pulled it out and laughed in my face, "SECURITY BLANKET! HAHA YOU HAVE A SECURITY BLANKET!"

Yeah? Well you can go shoot yourself in the foot. I have a new "blankie" and I am proud of it!

I am upset.

Tonight we went over to Robbie's parent's house because his mom made us a peach pie. This is such good pie and she knows I love it. She sent us home with two pieces for us to eat when we got home and Robbie ate my piece without me knowing. I am mad. Seriously how selfish can you get?
Robbie=FAG.

It might look like I am joking around right now, which i sort of am, but at the same time...why would someone who loves me eat my pie?



PS. the season premier of the 6th season of The Office was on tonight and it was HILARIOUS.

The Office

If there is one thing that can cheer me up no matter how horrible my mood is, it is The Office. This show is probably the funniest thing that I have ever seen in my entire life. The randomness and the truth of everything in it almost feels like the scripts were personally intended for my eyes and ears.

I have seen all the episodes countless times, excluding season 5 because it just came out 6 days ago...and you better believe that I bought it the day it came out! Robbie and I watch one or two episodes of it every night before bed. Good thing I made him start watching it with me a year ago too. He loves it almost as much as I do now!
What is better than Angela's cat falling through the ceiling during a fake fire? Or just hearing Kevin talk...or watching the pranks that Jim and Pam constantly pull on Dwight? Nothing, I repeat, Nothing is better than that.

Perfecting your Pillows

First matter of business to address is my current pillow situation.


Fact: I use 6 pillows every night.


I will tell you the rundown on positioning my pillows. Firstly, I take two standard/queen size pillows and place them next to each other against the wall. This will be our foundation. Next, I take a king size pillow and place it on top of the two standard pillows. Then, I take another king size pillow and place it below, but not under, the other pillows, kind of creating a bigger foundation. This pillow is used for upper back support. Finally, I place the last king size pillow on top of the cracks of the two other king size pillow, just like a brick layer does with his bricks. Lean back; it is total and utter bliss. These pillows are soft and squishy made of down.

I know what you are thinking. That is only 5 pillows! Where is the sixth? Well, now i will answer your question. The sixth pillow is a smaller and squishy down pillow. Robbie only uses one pillow, so when we are in bed next to each other, I am a foot and a half down the bed more than he is and it creates a gap between us and our pillows. I take the 6th pillow and I fill in that gap. Problem solved.


Funny thing is, when I wake up in the morning, I am twisted in some unnatural position and my head is alas, not on any pillows at all.
