Throwback

Have you ever had an overwhelming amount of flashbacks?? Well that just happened to me when I scrolled through this list. That picture of Pappy DreWitt?? Yeah, I thought I made that show up because for the life of me I couldn't explain it well enough to do a Google search or find another person who watched this show. Seriously, this show was the reason I could even remotely draw in elementary school. Pappyland. Happy, happy days.

Check out this list.  It sure felt good realizing I wasn't the only one who felt that way about 90's games, tv shows and toys.

It's good to know that that part of my childhood is documented SOMEWHERE. Even though it's not by me, nor fully complete.

SNOW.

Wellllll. I guess summer's finally over.

I woke up Saturday morning to this. Okay fine, most of it was there Friday night when I went to sleep, but still, it was quite the surprise to look outside and see EVERYTHING covered in white. For about 5 minutes, I thought it was absolutely beautiful. Then I realized that I had to drive around in it, walk in it...then I hated it. Winter is here folks. A month early. Can't it be fall for just a weeeee bit longer?? I'm still living on the summer-high.

Love It or Hate It

It's been way too long my friends. Probably long enough that you have forgotten that this is a tradition of mine. But I have news for you. Today's post is the special Love it or Hate it Edition!!

Love it:

• When your non-LDS friends unknowingly repin LDS pins on Pinterest. Did you know you were sharing the Gospel today??
• This weather!! Can all of November please be 55-60* and sunny? PLEASE?
• Weekends.
• Time Out for Women. This session was absolutely amazing. There will be a blog post entirely dedicated to it, just you wait.
• The Conference Ensign. And just conference in general (<---you see what I did there?).
• The Holidays. Yep. My favorite time of year.
• Two weeks til vacation!! Monday AND Friday classes being cancelled = happy Kristen with a long Thanksgiving break
• Parents coming this month!
• 5k tomorrow!
• Receiving and completing 90% of a test in the same day!! 6 days before it's due
• Sleeping in tomorrow.
• and as sad as it sounds, having nothing to do on a Friday night. Sometimes it's refreshing, you know? To have no responsibilities and to just relax in the comfort of your own home. And I can be in bed at a decent time and still have a productive Saturday. Win win win win win (yes I realize there were only about three "wins" in this situation. I just felt like going on...)
• Fast Sunday this weekend. Who would have ever thought that I would appreciate fasting?? Okay, maybe I'm more excited for the testimony meeting, but still. They're one and the same right? But really, I'm wishing away my Saturday already so that I can be spiritually nourished on Sunday! 
• Indexing.
• Blogging epiphanies. Like the fact that I absolutely love rereading my old posts, even if they were from a month ago, and realizing that I need to be better at blogging more regularly.
• The Holidays!! Seriously, I just can't wait. Also I noticed that I blogged about my excitement for Christmas before my excitement for Fall. Backwards much? 

Hate it:

• Eating a sandwich/wrap with onions. Then smelling like onions. At least it tasted good, right? (Not sure it was worth it...my hands reek). TMI, oh well.
• Group projects. Seriously can't I just do it by myself??
• The week from Hades. Good thing it's two days away.
• When indexing freezes on my computer and the whole world seems like it is going to end then you have to shut down your computer to exit out of it then you waste ten minutes waiting for it to restart so that you can log back in and save more lives as you extract names from census reports and passenger lists. Yes, sometimes I like to create exaggerated run-on sentences because I like the breathy-ness of the voice in my head. I'm not weird. This is normal.

So yeah. I must be in a grateful mood because I just can't think of things to complain about!! (<except for this. Clearly I can complain about anything... like not having anything worth complaining over)
