The Nanny

A thousand apologies for the lack of posts.
Being a nanny is a tough stuff; when I have free time, I usually don't spend it blogging. I'd rather re-watch recordings of American Idol, listening to Lee sing his version of Hallelujah. [Avery and I kept rewinding his performance, and watched it at least 30 times.. and still love it.] Or I sleep.
I need a hobby.

One Advantage

I saw this chick on campus who had super short pants on, and I thought to myself.. "Man I'm sure glad I'll never have to worry about my pants being too short." And then I thought of Steve Urkel.

There are advantages to having short legs!

My Mom Would Be Proud.

I've been sick all weekend and it's terrible! I haven't been eating and obviously haven't been very productive. But tonight.. tonight was different. Not quite sure where I got the motivation or the will, but I deep cleaned our whole apartment! It was pretty gross. I wish I would have taken 'before' and 'after' pictures because this whole process took about 4 hours. It didn't help that we have a wuss of a vacuum either.

Whoever thought that putting carpet in the bathroom area, (where girls comb their hair) was a good idea- should be slapped. Do you realize how much hair the carpet accumulates? Gross.

Our black couch covers ripped.. bummer.

I'll have you know I was on my hands and knees scrubbing that floor!! The counters don't look that clean, but really they are! There was also two sinks full of dishes that I cleaned.. minus some pots and pans because I didn't feel like scrubbing the crap out of them when I wasn't the one to dirty them :)

And a final picture of my new hair. I got it colored a little bit ago. It sucks that my natural color is blondish; because when my roots come in, it appears as if I'm going gray or my hair line is receding. And it looks GREAT! ...

Now I can sleep in peace knowing that I'll wake up to a clean apartment. :)

Perfect.. or Something Like It.

I was too tired to blog last night when I got home, but I'd just like to say it was one of the best days I've ever had in a long time.
Why, you ask??

• My Ipod and radio played all of the right songs. It's like they were psychic and knew exactly what my mood was and what I wanted to listen to, it was awesome!
• It was the last day of class and I finished up my first year of college! I feel pretty accomplished, and I'm glad I made the decision to attend college. I've grown and learned so much.
• It was April 30th. Some people might not find any significance in this date, but it just so happens to be my half-birthday! 6 more months until I'm 21!
• Elicia did my hair. I love it when people play or fix my hair! By the way, it looked fantastic, wish you all could've seen. :)
• It took me two seconds to find something to wear today, and it worked the first time I tried it on. I won't lie, I looked pretty good yesterday!
• I didn't have to wait for any red lights, and every time I had to turn left it was a green arrow.
• I went over to my grandparent's house, and of course they took good care of me and wouldn't let me leave until I had a bowl of Chili.. and a rice krispy treat :)
• The Jazz took the Nuggets out of the playoffs! Nobody thought that would happen, especially with two of our starters injured. Bring on the Lakers!
• A certain someone, and his thoughtful email that he sent me. :)
• I went out of my way to make someone's day.
• I spent $12 at the grocery store with food that will last me all of next week until I move. I've never been that great of a bargain shopper.
• Randomly picking a General Conference talk to read like it was specifically written for me.
• My wonderful mom provided me with my Melaleuca Products this month.. it's funny how fast your money gets sucked out of your checking account when you lose your job.
• There was probably a lot more, but for the most part- everything just worked out yesterday. It's so refreshing to have days like these, I highly recommend them.
