Instructions

Have you seen Larry Crowne? Is a good movie. In the college class Larry is in, they have a day where they have to get up and give instructions on how to do something they are an expert at and it reminded me that I need to do my blog posts. It was a perfect example. Larry gave instructions on how to make French toast.
I'll give instructions on how to properly fix a flat tire. I got one the other day about two minutes into my ride. And instead of fixing it, I just had my mother come get me. Maybe there's some meaning behind this. I could have chosen to fix my problem and move on. But instead I ran from my problem.... so cowardly.
First, remove the wheel with the flat tire. Then release some air (unless it's already completely flat). Now pop the tire off and feel for any thorns. If there's a thorn or nail, remove it so you don't ruin your new tube. Then carefully place the new tube in and fill it up with air. Then ride your bicycle. Don't be a coward.

Forgotten chair.

I am forgotten. Nobody has put me up for the night where my legs can rest from a long day. A long day of little roudy kids, large bums and constant food dropping onto me. I'm tired. Nobody has wiped me down or tucked me into bed. I am the only forgotten one.

Happy with a calm life.

This spring break I don't care about going to Puerto Rico or London. I just want to CHILL. Watch TV. Eat yummy food. Look at pinterest. I'm okay with doing nothing.
I've been thinking a lot about the video we watched that was about learning to be alone. I think I'm learning how to be alone. It's fun to be okay with being alone.  You get to be selfish. You get to go what you want to do.

I would be surprised if I get asked to prom. And I'm okay with not getting asked. Usually I'd be really sad I think, but this year I'm just over high school. I think I've been to enough dances. It makes me happy that I feel fine about this. No more uncomfortable dresses for me :)

It's okay to be happy with a calm life.

Jealousy

"Jealousy is a disease, love is a healthy condition. The immature mind often mistakes one for the other, or assumes that the greater the love, the greater the jealousy - in fact, they are almost incompatible; one emotion hardly leaves room for the other."
Robert A. Heinlein
I think this is a cool thought about jealousy. It's true that when you love, whether you love yourself, or somebody else, there is less room for jealousy. Right now we should all probably learn to love ourselves more and quit being jealous of others.

They're probably jealous of you.

I wonder.

I wonder why anyone likes the song "say something." Is whiney and annoying.
I wonder why I love chocolate so much.
I wonder who I'm going to marry and when.
I wonder if I'll like my roommates.
I wonder how long I'll live.
I wonder which friends I'll still be close with in five years...I bet I can guess.
I wonder if I'll go on a mission.
I wonder if the sixth season of parks and rec is good.
I wonder what Europe's like.
I wonder why I all of a sudden love sushi- I used to think it was disgusting.
I wonder who is reading this.
I wonder why some people are so nice and some are so mean.
I wonder when I'll let my hair go full gray.

Sweeping lettuce.

I learned something this week. I hate sweeping up lettuce. It sticks to the floor and it's nasty.
Sweeping up lettuce is comparable to the tedious and annoying things we have to do. It's just annoying and takes a lot of work and we get sick of it quickly. We all have our different things we may consider lettuce sweeping. Here are some of mine.
  Getting ready for the day early in the morning when I want to stay warm and cozy in my bed.
  Brushing my teeth at night when I'm tired.
  Picking out what to wear.
  Going to school.
   Traffic
   Being cold at church and starving. Worst  combo.
   These are some of the simple things that I just don't like. They can put me in a bad mood. They can annoy me. Just like trying to sweep up a piece of stupid lettuce that's stuck to the ground and just rolls around when you try to sweep it. And there's no way I'm picking it up with my hands.
