My heart is in 84 places right now.

It seems like five years ago i knew what i wanted.
I wanted to be the girl who got married right outta highschool.
I never though i'd need college.
and i thought i'd be the first one to have my own little baby
and be a momma before anyone else.
and live happily ever after without any setbacks.

I was 15.

And now i'm like... what the?
I know things happen on their own time.
I just feel confused.
And i didnt think i'd go through so many heartbreaks
and let downs
and friendships
and phases
and deaths
and late nights
and journal entries wondering where i was going in my life.

I'm twenty.

My heart is all over the place lately.
What do i focus on?
With deciding my career..
Watching my best friends get married..
Watching my best friends have kids..
Watching my best friends go on missions..

but i guess thats just life, right?
I was silly to think it'd all work out like i planned.

life is what happens when you're busy makin plans.
thank you, mr. lennon.

I wish i woulda known that at 15.

problem solved.

Lately my little sister has been having girl drama in her life.

Bless her heart.
I've had girl drama in my life since the 4th grade.
and its awful
and vicious.
Sorry chelley. Chin up.
I asked my cousin who was in the room with me if she ever had girl drama in highschool..and she just said well yeah, but..
"I would just go make out with their boyfriends to get back at them."
i say go for it.

(dont tell mom i said that.)

love.

We love love here at the Booth house.
How great is my mom for doing this before valentines dinner? Pretty great.

It's cause she loves us or something. And she loves to give.
And yes, we did get our socks.

(..and mine are the cutest.)

"love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get - only what you are expecting to give - which is everything. what you will receive in return varies. but it really has no connection with what you give. you give because you love and cannot help giving." -katherine hepburn

Maybe

Maybe i stayed up a ll night reading Nie.

Maybe i'm a teensy bit baby hungry and hope to make sillhuettes for my kids just like Nie.

hehe.

Maybe i woke up and had M&M's for breakfast. mmm.

Maybe i slept on my valentines pillow case last night my mom made for me.

Maybe she came in to wake me up and predicted who i was going to marry just for fun.

Maybe i spent my afternoon laying in my parents bed watching a lifetime movie with my little sister.

Maybe its three oclock and I'm still wearing her tie-dye night shirt and donut pj pants.

Awesome.

Maybe we decided if our family was a movie, it definitely would be Pride and Prejudice.

Maybe we decided Jackie would be Jane and

Georgie would be Mr. Bingly.

Perfect.

Maybe we fought over who would get to be lizzy.

Maybe i love that our family loves holidays.

Maybe i'm super excited for our valentines socks we get every year from our momma.

Maybe i love that she is wearing the heart necklace my dad got her for christmas.

Maybe i love that my dad had flowers delivered to our house for her too.

you cute dad you.

Maybe i'm even more excited that we are most likely going to devour valentines candy tonight in the wee hours of the morning.

Maybe i'm excited that its my ugly dog's birthday tomorrow.

Maybe i have a date tonight.

Maybe i don't hate this holiday so much.

(even though i'm technically valentine-less.)

Happy Birthday Daddy

My dad is the most wonderful man.

He is the hardest worker you'll ever meet.

I mean this in a non-creepy way,

but i hope my husband is as awesome as my dad is.

And he's done a good job putting up with all us women!

I wish I could say more,

but seriously words can't describe how great he is.

My dad is better than yours.

that is all.

Happy birthday daddddddyyy!

#79

#79 on my list of things to do before I die:
Get told a dirty joke by an old person.
Check.
-------------------------------------------
Too dirty to post on blogosphere? yes.
Was she an 86 year old temple worker? yes.
Did I go into shock because those filthy words came out of her mouth? yes.

As i walked into the retirement home a few minutes late last night,
i noticed that the director was no where to be found. hmm.
i went upstairs to go see if the residents had already started their activity...
when all of a sudden i heard some very loud whooping and haa-ing
coming from the ancients a floor above me. what on earth?
this did not sound like they were making valentines.
I walked in, and what do i see?

Petunia had all the residents sit around her in a semi-circle

and she was doing stand up comedy while everyone was waiting
for the director to get there with our craft supplies.
Dirty stand up comedy, mind you. Shockingly dirty.
My jaw literally dropped and all i could think was..
is this real life?

So, the rest of the night consisted of:
making valentines, flower pens, telling awful jokes.
What a perfect tuesday. Seriously.

Thank you for checking off the first thing on my list,
you mean ol cuss you.
Till next week.

School Nights=Mario Party!

i was a sneaky sneaky with my laptop tonight. this is what happens in our living room like...maybe 4 or 5 hours of everyday. and thats not an exaggeration.

Winning team...LOSING TEAM!

Remember my post about how brutal aggie basketball fans are? Well, this little gem has been buzzing around fb. We all just have so much aggie spirit!!!

Enjoy!

Gigi

So maybe i'm a little bit crazy...(okay alot crazy).

and maybe (definitely) i'm terrible at dating

and maybe i cry too much over worthless relationships.
and yes, i wear my heart on my sleeve.
BUT. at least i try.

In the famous words of Gigi...:


Gigi: I would rather be like that, then be like you.
Alex: Excuse me? What's that supposed to mean?
Gigi: I may dissect each little thing and put myself out there so much but at least that means that I still care. Oh! You've think you won because women are expendable to you. You may not get hurt or make an ass of yourself that way but you don't fall in love that way either. You have not won. You're alone. I may do a lot of stupid stuff but I'm still a lot closer to love than you are.

haha. ha.

Happy groundhogs day

today we volunteered at williamsburg retirement home and we just played a little game with them... i was told by one nice old lady that she 'liked my looks' and wants to set me up with her grandson who apparently is a banker in oregon with 'beautiful black hair and black eyes'. she insisted i give her my address so he could contact me....somehow i managed to escape without giving in. i told her i'd give it to her next week and i'm praying she'll forget.

also, as we were leaving the activity..i grabbed an extra reeses because the director told us to. good deal, right? This fiesty old lady who is so sassy (and she was the one who would always yell at me when i didnt call her bingo numbers..) she said, "you better watch your weight, its all goin to your hips!"

fail. funny, but fail.

happy groundhogs day. even though hes only right 39% of the time. (i googled it.)
