Frumpy Butt :(

Yes, yes... I know I’ve been a frumpy-butt lately with my posts… sorry. I’ll try to win your love back today with showing you how much of a happy person I am! :) As many things that I hate… there are about half as many things that I absolutely love. I know, that doesn’t sound as positive as you’d like it to, but it’s out there so take it or leave it.

I’ve had a really good week and it’s time to reflect on that.

Things I Love.

It goes without saying that I love my family, friends, and boyfriend. We’re not talking about them, we’re talking about me.

Cereal. Any kind. At any time.

Uhmm… you should see me sitting here eating my cereal as I try to think of more things. I’m looking around trying to find somethi- OH!

I love painting my nails! And manicures and pedicures and the whole shebob. It makes me feel more distinguished. You will never see me without my toe-toes painted, it looks too weird. I think there may have been a total of 5 days in the last 10 years that I’ve gone without painting my toenails.

I love hoodies and sweat pants. I love going home from school being dressed up all day (which I also love) and taking off everything to snuggle up in my comfy clothes.

I love curly lion hair. I, sadly, don’t have it. Instead I’m stuck with pin straight hippy hair.

SHOES! I wear a size 7.5. Thanks in advance.

I love my boyfriend’s cologne. I’d spray it on myself if I didn’t already look like a little boy in my sweats. No need to weird people out even more.

I love Deaf voice. Maybe that’s weird. Obviously this is the first post of mine you’ve read then. If you didn’t know before now that I was off my rocker you might have been off yours too... I don’t know why, I think that maybe it’s because it reminds me of my brother, but I like the way Deaf people sound when they talk :) It makes me happy

I love singing and dancing like a fool in front of my students. They hate it and love it, they’re really not sure whether to laugh or roll their eyes. Either way, I’m liked for the most part.

I love summer! And the sun and swimming… you know the way your hair floats in the water when you’re submerged… it makes me feel like a mermaid. And I love that.

I LOOOOVEEE… THINGS! I don’t know. I’m stuck

CHRISTMAS LIGHTS! YES! I put up my own lights for the first time ever this year and I think they look so good. It makes me so excited! Too bad my electric bill is going to be through the roof this month… Oopsie!

I also love snow, the way it looks over all the trees and the grass and the other ugly things. The way it looks when you’re sitting inside with your blankie and cup of hot chocolate and you see it falling… and you don’t have to go outside. I love snow, unless I have to go outside. I play in the snow about one time every year. After that, screw the snow, it’s too cold and I have things to do, get off my car, get out of my way… No, I don’t want to take 15 minutes to get dressed warm enough to take my 7 minute drive to work and then take it all back off.

I love telling my students I used to be ugly. It’s even better in ASL… but for some reason they don’t seem to believe me… But let me tell you. My face was one hot mess from about 10-19. HOT. MESS.

I love when people are kind. I LOVE when people go out of their way to do little things for someone who isn’t expecting it. It makes my heart explode out of my eyes… in the form of tears.

I love crying. I think. Why else would I do it so much.

Ok, we need to go. Get out of here and get a job you whippersnapper.

And yet again. I love glitter. I asked my mom if I could glitter her cane after knee surgery. She tried to change the subject, but she didn’t say no!
