Tots looking forward to family time!

So the fam is coming up to the great state of UT tomorrow. It's going to be a family packed week! I'm pretty sure we're going to see every family member possible in a 5 hour radius. Lots of driving. Should be fun.

I'm just hoping we don't revert back to childhood with the three of us squished in the back (now that we all take up more room since Christian is taller and Emi and I now have hips) and fights breaking out periodically. haha

Probably will. :) Yay for family vacations!!! More to come next week with updated pics

p.s. for all those who read anything I write, you need to know this. I have recently started using "tots" as a shortened version of "totally". So it's pronounced like "totes" but it's just "tots". Get it? Ok good. Now you'll all know what I'm talking about

Wrong side of the bed

You know those days when you wake up and for no apparent reason, because well, you just woke up and nothing's happened yet, you are mad, irked, pissed off. Well, that was me today. It's such a frustrating feeling because I don't know what to do to make it better. All I know is that I'm mad and nobody better get in my way today. My first relief came when I was in the shower (sorry...TMI) and when I opened my shower gel bottle two little bubbles floated out. It made me laugh a little and I literally felt some of the bad mood melt off. Crazy what little smiling and laughter can do for you. I don't know why I'm telling the www all of this but here it is.

Tonight I'm going to the new A-Team movie because, well, I'm on the A-Team. Obviously not the same one as in the movie but it wouldn't be right if us A-Teamers didn't go see this movie together. So we're going to the midnight showing (ba! not excited for that. I'm getting old) and we're wearing our A-Team shirts that we have for Connections at the end of the summer. We're going to look like crazy fanatics but really, we're just the A-Team too and we happen to have shirts that say so. That should make tonight fun and give me something to look forward to that will cheer up my weird mood. Maybe after work, I'll take a nap... :)

Mon Parapluie

This is actually one of the pictures up in my apartment. Keep reading to understand.

So as has been the case for the last month or so, it was raining pretty hard when I woke up. Now, I don't mind the rain. I actually like it a lot! Especially since over the weekend I was even treated to some thunder and lightening! Rainy weather makes me want to go eat at La Madeleine back home. or Great Harvest here. Anyway, so as I was walking out of my apartment to make the 15 minute trek up to work I opened my umbrella and...it wouldn't open. I tried again, it wouldn't open again. I examined it and well what do you know?! It was bent. I have absolutely no idea how it happened but my umbrella (mon paraluie!) is broken! So I threw it away in the nearest dumpster and now I have to go buy a new one. Good thing I had on my new rain coat! Not quite the same as an umbrella though. However, I'm going to have to wait until after my next paycheck (on the 10th!) to buy a new one since I have next to no money. Paying for things when you're poor really sucks! :)

To go along with this post our apartment has a theme! Like, the decorations in the living room/kitchen area. Can you guess what it is?? Parapluies! It just kinda happened that way but it's all coming together very nicely and I am very excited for when it's all put up. Maybe I'll post pictures? Is that too much info for potential creepers? By the way, all the decorating creativity is coming from Kaili and her mom and sister. I have zero decorating creativity.

Also, SOAR starts on Thursday! Let the boredom, lecturing, crying, happiness, nervousness, difficult parents, apathy and overachieving begin! haha

Happy Rainy Day!!! :)
