Sunsets

I believe that every evening God becomes a painter and creates beautiful works of art. We have the opportunity to stand back and watch the creation of a masterpiece, if only we would notice. Oh, if only we would notice!

Procrastination

Why is it that as the semester progresses a student's tendency to procrastinate increases? I swear it's a scientific fact, and there's an equation that verifies my theory.

Every student experiences this phenomenon at one time or another, and I am no exception. I have two tests, two conference papers, and an analysis paper due in the next two weeks, but am I finished with any of them? Absolutely not. At least I've started on studying for the tests...

Winter

It's cold. I mean, really cold. Like, I'm-going-to-have-to-start-scraping-my-windows-so-I-can-drive kind of cold. I'm not really ok with it. It's fun to bundle up and look cute in fall clothes (boots, cardigans, turtlenecks...), but when your nose and your pinkies are freezing, it's not so awesome. I was determined to be like 80% of the rest of the world and dislike winter this.

And then it snowed. Beautiful, fat, fluffy flakes...

Dang, Mother Nature's good!

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!
