La mia vita

So I'm going to do a miscellaneous, list-of-my-life-right-now post today. Because I'm inspired by what all of my other friends have been doing :D

Quest'è la vita mia. Non è troppa speciale, ma è tutta che ho e l'amo molto.

-Kurt. Being married is better than I ever thought it could be.
-Striving to be a better person every day. This weekend is stake conference and it's really inspired me.
-Missing Japanese.
-Missing Italian more, and much to my surprise.
-Missing being a student, as well. There's a camaraderie about being on campus and having a topsy-turvy life.
-Not missing being a student. My free time is my time!!
-LOVING my new ward. I'm so glad the ward we were in last semester turned out to be the wrong ward. Our ward is awesome. We have made the best friends in it!!
-Working 9 to 5. Well, 9 to 6, really.
-Improv with LOL. And the best part is, not being president of LOL.
-Accounting everywhere. Kurt, me, Kurt's friends, some of their wives (who are also my friends). It's crazy.
-Charleston, South Carolina. It's my favorite place in the whole world.
-Amazing friends everywhere! Kurt and I didn't hang out with anyone else last semester, really, because we were so dang busy, but this semester we've been reacquainted, so to speak, with all of our great friends and gotten new ones! It's been awesome.
-I love flowers! :)
-Moving to Denver soon!!!
-Buying a house and a car pretty soon too!! Ahhh!
-Seeing small blessings everywhere, even when things seem really hard.
-Excitement at getting my beloved Chou chou in the fall!!!!
-Missing my family terribly.
-Wanting to write, but being afraid.
-Reading again!!
-An awesome girl friend at work, who helps keep me sane.
-Budgeting.
-Fitness.
-Finally having real self control when it comes to eating healthy.
-A tiny piece of chocolate every day at work, also to keep me sane.
-Guitar Hero III :D
-Keeping the apartment spotless, on most days. I love the feeling I get from having a clean home.
-Cooking on a more regular basis (but not every day... Kurt and I can't eat enough food to cook every day, lol).
-Learning new recipes.
-Making pizza! Kurt and I got a pizza stone. It's been really fun.
-SNOWBOARDING. My new love.
-Blogging! Another new love.
-Waiting for my bangs to grow out!! Grrr.
-Trying to enjoy my hair cut in the mean time.
-Trying to be cheerful every day. The days that I succeed, I feel the best.

Here We Go

So, my friend Sarah "tagged" me and now I must share 6 things about me that you may not know. At first I was like, "I'm a talker--I tell everyone everything about me!" But then I dug down real deep inside myself and realized that I don't tell everyone everything about me. If I did, I wouldn't have any friends because they'd all be scared off. So here goes. I hope we're still friends after this. ;)

1. I'd much rather clean the bathroom than the kitchen. I hate cleaning the kitchen. And I hate folding clothes even more. In fact, sometimes I don't fold them. I just wear them wrinkled.

2. I cried in Harry Potter 7--stop reading if you haven't read it and don't want it spoiled. I cried when he went to meet Voldemort and saw his parents and Sirius and Lupin, and I cried when he saw Dumbledore.

3. I love cereal. Not in the way that I love pizza--as in, I love the taste so much. But as in, cereal is just so satisfying and easy to eat that I could--and have--eat just it for every meal. I also really love toast, usually with just butter.

4. If it were up to me, I'd have 3 dogs at any given time--one of each size. I love big dogs, medium dogs, and little dogs. Unfortunately, Kurt doesn't want any small dogs or any dogs what-so-ever in the house. It is my life-long goal to bring him over to the dark side.

5. One of my goals--for real, Kurt included it in his family financial plan--is to own a HUGE bathtub. Jets not necessary. I just want a bath that's 6 feet long, 4 feet deep, and with a comfortable recline. I love taking baths. Our bathtub right now sucks and so I want to be spoiled when I'm older.

6. I analyze advertising like CRAZY. Every time I see an ad I think: Why did they choose that picture? That's an interesting audience they're aiming for. That word isn't quite right--it has a different connotation than what they're using it for. I've never taken an advertising class. BUT, I do love words and I think about the different words people use and so it must have grown from there.

So, I now tag Alisse and Mandi. That's right Mandi, now you must write in your blog that you created. Mwahaha.
