the little things.

http://shine.yahoo.com/event/makeover/101-small-pleasures-you-can-enjoy-every-day-1125425/
As I was reading the list almost all of them were so true. I loved them, and it made me want to make an extended list. I stole a few from the original list, but I also added some of my own. I encourage you to make your own list of life's little pleasures that you can enjoy everyday, and hopefully some of these things will happen to you! I hope these brighten up your day, they brighten mine :)

3. an exercise endorphin high
4. a handwritten letter
5. singing in the shower
6. a home cooked meal
7. a cup of warm tea

9. a nice afternoon cat nap
10. the funny things that kids say
11. a great book
12. sharing an umbrella
13. smiling at a stranger
14. holding hands
15. bear hugs
16. a long walk that clears your head

the day that was NOT full of luck.
so waking up this morning, i had high hopes for the day. Mainly because it was St.Patricks day and people are suppose to have such great luck on this day. (also, today I was thinking and I realized that I don't even know what the H st.pattys day is even about. is it someones birthday? I live in America and so I don't even get why we celebrate it because we are not in Ireland. But in any case, I wore green today anyways so I guess I didn't care that much. but I do need to google that and see what it even means.) but anyways today was definitely not my lucky day.
It started out all fine and dandy, until eleven o'clock rolled around and I had to take my music midterm. I had been freaking out about this midterm for awhile because I had to memorize over 50 songs, most of which did not have words.I have little musical talent and so it was hard for me to differentiate between the piano, violin, cello and the harpsichord. but nonetheless I had to and let's just say I was anything but prepared. along the lines of being prepared, I arrived to class only to find out that the test was on a scantron (I should have known) and I thankfully had a pencil. The draw back however was that it had no eraser. So I am going along, be-boppin through my test when all of sudden my pencil lead broke (I must not know my own strength). and so I was like great, and to make matters worse that was the last of my lead. Like there was nothing left in that bad boy and I was like bust, we are in the middle of a test I can't just ask everyone if they have an extra pencil. So I quietly ask the people around me if they have an extra and no one did. So I literally answered the last 50 questions with the one inch piece of lead that I had left. You better believe my hand a nice cramp after. Then of course I had no eraser and so my scantron was just a mess. I felt like I was being Punk'd, just waiting for Ashton Kutcher to come into the room. It also didn't help that I had no idea what any of the answers were. You try telling Beethoven, Mozart and Chopin apart in a thirty second clip. Not so easy my friends. I basically just wanted to walk out of the room and cry. but even though everything that could have gone wrong did, I pulled it together and finished. and the day just got even weirder from there.
after lunch my friends were going to the beach (because the weather here is great and it was like 80 degrees today and i LOVE it) but no I couldn't go because I had a two hour bio lab. yup, kickin' it in a classroom walst everyone was livin' it up at the beach. not to mention my classroom had broken AC and so it was a sauna. and the class before us dissected cats and so it smelled like shat. (sorry tyler if you are reading this, but it did). and so you could imagine by this point, I was not a happy camper. And so with it just being an off day, and just having really weird occurrences I wanted the day to end. Yet I had SO much to do still. But as I was talking to people throughout the day, I realized my "bad" day, wasn't even that bad compared to others. and here is why:
1. This poor girl on my hall had an appendicitis suddenly (I suppose they are all sudden, but you know) and so she was in the hospital and so it was great to go see her there, but sad because she was in pain. And so I feel like having that happen is worse then my bad day.( but she didn't even keep them in a jar. i totally would)
2. another girl on my hall has pink eye. enough said.
3. AND my friends cat has to be put down. even though I really dislike cats, I wouldn't wish death upon them (well at least not this cat). and that is just super sad.
and so when I was feeling sorry for my self, and having a nice little pity party I realized that even though I probably failed my music midterm, couldn't go to the beach, smelled like formaldehyde from the bio lab, AND i didn't even see a leprechaun, my day could have been worse. And so my heart goes out to the ladies that I mentioned because their days were REALLY unlucky. plus, this bad day was nothing a little night tennis couldn't cure.
welp, that's all I have for today. just a rant on my day and i am SO excited for it to finally be over. thanks a heap st. Patrick, today was a big bust.
I wish I could have at least seen this today. perhaps next year.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COLOR!
twenty.tyve.20.zwanzig. viente.dau deg.
your age in five different languages! hm lets see, what was I doing twenty years ago...joke. I was not living, but tyler was. Or I seem to call him, color. (side note: I say my brothers name with a weird accent. I don't really know why, but I pronounce the "er" as a "ur". oh well, he still responds) but anyways, it's Tyler's birthday today! 20 years old, good golly. He is no longer a teen, and that is pretty much all the perks of turning twenty. But I am so stoked that it is his birthday because who doesn't love a good party? and another thing that I love, is the birthday dinner. My grandparents came into town, and it was so great to see them because I hadn't seen them since Christmas. Now Goo (my gma) being the saint that she is, never fails to spread the gifts around. Even though it was Tyler's birthday, she still brought me gifts! it was the greatest thing ever. Three boxes of Girl Scout cookies, and she bought be shoes and just tons of great stuff. I love that woman. Pop is a great man too, now that I am on the subject. I'm pretty sure he is shrinking though, because when we went out to dinner I wore heels and I was taller then him, and that has never happened. It was a bit embarrassing on his part I'd say, but its ok he cant really help it I guess. I told him that the next time I see him he will be small enough to fit in my pocket! but he is still great nonetheless.
Back to Tyler and his day of birth. some quick things about Tyler.
1. He laughs at most of all of my jokes, because clearly I am the funny one.
2. I can ask him like any quote and he will know it. (and he usually will make up quotes and be like "whats that from" and it's usually from nothing haha)
3. He is the neatest kid I know (I self diagnosed him with OCD).
4. He can ALWAYS cheer me up, and it's always nice.
5. I can call him anytime, and he will be there in a heartbeat.
6. He is a great gift-giver :)
7. I'm still the funny one, just saying.
He is just a gem. Always doing things for me, and what not. he is ALWAYS there for me and if i every need anything he is my go-to man. Even though he is spick'n'span and I am more of a well not spick'n'span we still tend to be the greatest of friends. there are definite moments of conflict, but for the most part we get along great. We are like polar opposites we still can hang out and have great conversation.I could go on for days about stories or inside jokes that we have, but my blog would just be way too long. Even this past week was full of laughs because we took a road trip together, and had lots of "quality time" in the car.(Note to self, don't go on a road trip with Tyler if you ever plan on eating/sleeping haha) I look up to Tyler so much, and I am so blessed to have him in my life, especially as my brother. Thanks Tyler for all that you do for me, and I hope you have the greatest day ever.
LOVE YOU!
