Beyoncé - Halo

Inspiration

Lately, I've been in quite the melancholy mood. Not a normal state for me but it happens. Hormones. So when I hit this wall I turn to music. There seems to be a song for everything. From there it makes my head wonder to a world of ideas. I never know what will come about. Don't worry, I don't think I'm mental.

This time around I've felt the need to dance. I rarely hear a song that I like that I don't begin to choreograph movements. I could have a book if I started writing down all my ideas. The other day, "Halo" by Beyonce won my heart and I couldn't help but play it a hundred times. I danced for two hours. It felt so great!!!! Tipton was sure I was crazy but thought my "ballet thingy's" were cool. He decided to dance along.

Yesterday I danced more. I just couldn't stop. The sun was shining and here I was literally breakin' it down on my patio. Then I turned to the grass. It was so cool on my feet. It was so much fun I could hardly stop!

Today, I'm definitely feeling it and I'm back to my normal self. However, I don't think I can stop dancing just yet.

I heart dancing and music!!!! It inspires me to move. A talent I promise not to bury. Who cares if I'm good or not I love it! My mind is still ticking with a few other songs. What a feeling!

Hair

I have hair issues. One, I don't like loose hair...especially animal hair. It makes me gag, literally. But the real issues is growing it out. I thought maybe I should attempt considering I have worn it the same pretty much for the past 12 years. Sounds scary now that I just watched myself type that...eek. I love short hair and feel that it suits me well but I'm feeling bored. In my attempt, I have made it ALMOST to my shoulders.
Today for church (since we don't meet until 1:00pm) I tried to do some curls. This is one of the greatest disadvantages of having seven brothers. I cannot do hair. My attempts were rough and gave up before I ever made it to the back. I'm sure it looked freakish but I had no idea what I was doing. Hence, I guess the reason for short hair. Much easier. Tipton said, "Mom you hair looks crazy!" Liam says," You don't even look like our mom." The catch, Jarom liked it and almost in his eyes begged that I would stay patient and not whack it off. He liked the curls.
I trust my children because they would never lie to me about this kind of thing, but Jarom never comments on ANYTHING I do. This has to be considered.
At church, I was flooded with compliments. It made me feel great. It also made me think was I looking that bad? Or did it look that bad that they didn't know what else to say but lie? I'm sure I'm reading too much into this.
Somehow in the end. I like the change. Didn't look too bad and if Jarom spoke well, then I keep at it a little longer.

Confessions of a Twilight reader

I've never been into a book in a long time. I literally could not put the book down and couldn't even give you a reason. I read the entire saga in one week. That I have NEVER done. I loved how it ended yet so sad that it did. Edward is beyond dreamy and I still wonder how to pronounce Renesmee's name so that it actually sounds pretty and I still have pain for poor Jacob. I can't really say what it was that just grabbed me but since I've been reading I definitely haven't been the same. I still go through and read random parts of the book that I loved. I always find something new that I didn't notice before. I'm all ready for round two. I guess I should have just read that darn books when everyone else was and I wouldn't feel so psycho.
Embarrassingly, I have to say somehow I have become quite obsessive. I love going to stepheniemeyer.com and listening to her playlist to each book. It helps complete the story.
Seriously, I need to get a grip and GET A LIFE!!!
PS. Don't read this book when it's "that" time of the month.

April Fool's Day

I think the only fool I can write about is me. I'm completely kidding myself thinking that I can keep goals!!! It's really sad. BUT instead of getting down on myself I sat in my bed last night and thought, "Maybe I didn't finish my goals for this month but why not? What did I do?" From there I decided to make a list of things that I did accomplish. It wasn't what I planned by I felt pretty good about what I was able to do this past month. It would be "fool"ish to overlook these things because I'm too busy thinking about the 3 things I didn't complete.

Things I did do:
cared for the sick and needy (my Tipton and Hyrum who were sick for almost 2 weeks)
did my visiting teaching
remembered to call my sis-in-law for her birthday
made myself a dress (not beautiful, but for a first attempt still wearable)
lost sleep for 2 days worried about the paint color Cally was going to put on her wall (I would have never chosen that color for her)
offered to paint one room for someone for the service auction
made a fancy cake (Jarom does all the baking but it actually turned out yummy)
planted three blueberry bushes
divided my lilies
picked weeds
prepped my garden
colored A LOT for Liam's class...and still coloring
kept the nursery for another ward's enrichment night
went to Jarom's basketball game
went to the temple
planned a week full of Spring Break activities and had so much fun with my family...priceless
researched for a week on counter tops for the kitchen

My month wasn't so bad.

I love getting mail...

especially awesome pics like this! This is going in my boys bathroom...too cute.
