Crunchy Leaves

When your world is cold, and the sky is dark and cloudy, just remember: crunchy leaves will always make your day brighter.

Here's to the Crazies

I used to think that people who talked to themselves were crazy. Now I just assume that they have a bluetooth headphone.

Why is it that boys can tie ties but girls can't?

I wish I was allowed to sleep more.

I think the greatest, most powerful phrase in the human language is "I love you."

"When all else fails, put on a costume and sing a silly song."--Sam Walton

Every girl needs to have the love of her life just grab her and kiss in the middle of a sentence at least once.

We all have weird quirks. Deal with it.

It is almost impossible to look good eating sushi unless you're Asian.

"I dream away my life in others' speculations. I love to lose myself in other men's minds. When I am not walking, I am reading; I cannot sit and think. Books think for me."--Charles Lamb

This has been the week from Hell. Everything that went wrong, did. I kept thinking, "It can only get better, right?" Nope. It didn't.

The only saving grace for this week was the fact that my sister, Chelsey, her husband, Aaron, and all of their kids surprised us with a visit. I can't tell you how happy it makes me to have all of my sisters, and all six of my nieces and nephews so close. Surely this next week will be better then this week. It has to be.

Wait, we have a quarterback who actually knows how to play football?

The Cougars just had a 96 yard drive in the last minute and a half of the game, making the winning touchdown with less than 15 seconds in the game. That was the craziest thing I've ever seen! I'm so glad Bronco pulled that joke of a quarterback, Jake Heaps, and put in someone who actually knows what he's doing. Way to go Riley Nelson!

New Singer (or The Post with the Incessant Parentheticals)

I love finding new music artists to listen to. I've found that some of my favorite music artists are the ones that new one has ever heard of (Priscilla Ahn, A Fine Frenzy, for example), so sometimes it's hard to find new people to listen to. I've also had a little bit of a bad weekend (did anyone else watch that disaster of a football game on Saturday?), so I definitely needed something to pick me up today.

Enter Mindy Gledhill. I was wandering around the BYU Bookstore (aka my own personal library; sometimes I read the books that they have for sell without buying them...), and a CD cover caught my eye. I immediately fell in love with the cover (the image on the video is the album cover. Isn't it adorable?!), but I hesitated because because it was sitting in the basket with the religious music (not that I don't like religious music, it's just not the kind of music that I prefer to listen to on a daily basis). So I decided to do a little research, and luckily I found her music on YouTube. As soon as I heard the first song, I knew that Mindy Gledhill and I were going to become very good friends (well, not literally, but figuratively, through the music).

This is her song "Crazy Love." I love it. It's cute, upbeat, happy, etc...ok, ok. I'll admit, the lyrics are a little bit on the stalker side, but come on. Sometimes stalker songs can be really good (remember "Every Breath You Take" by The Police? Everyone loves that song)! Trust me, you will fall in love too.

Oh, be still, my restless heart!

This video gave me chills

It's a good day today

This is hilarious. If you're ever looking for a smart comic, try XKCD.
