+17

Well, my birthday's on Thursday.

When talking about my age right now, I feel like 19 is too small, but 20 is too big.

Can't I just spend a while in between? I'll call it "Twenteen", a hybrid of 20 and 19! 's perfect!

... XD

Ah well. Regardless, I hope *your* summer is going swell, just as it ought to. :)

To my brothers,

Combined, you two weigh less than I do, even when you're full. Don't start saying you're full all the time and pull back on portion sizes. You're teenage boys. Come on; you're supposed to put me to shame, not the other way around.

Cos the less you guys eat, the more I look like a hippopotamus.

so, I was about to post something on Facebook along the lines of, "Nothing says 'destroy your self-esteem' like going shopping for clothes. Le sigh."

jabbing at myself, of course.

although, when I came upstairs to my lappy to post about it, this HUGE storm whipped up and the power went out.

I just thought about it right now, but I'd like to let myself believe that God whipped up a huge thunderstorm because he knew that I love them, and that he wanted to tell me that I'm okay the way I am. He loves me, and it doesn't matter what I look like.

I am so grateful for the spirit, and that I am able to be receptive to it at times like these.

uhhh.

birthday? next week?

oh.

*headdesk*

the joys of being home - I get moments like these.

I was talking to my mother for a quick minute this morning and she told me about a woman who came to the house and picked some pumpkin starts (sprouted pumpkin plant, but not very big so trans-potting them is easier).

Apparently, this woman came to the house when my mom wasn't home, went around the house and got the seeds, and left. No word of acknowledgment or anything. Apparently they're growing fine.

My mom then mentioned, "I think one of the shortcomings and failings of our society is gratitude." She said she was trying to be aware of it on her end, at least.

I think it's something we can all try to be more aware of.

To Inspiration and the One O'Clock Morning Hour:

We need to stop meeting like this. Can't we just meet together for lunch on a gorgeous afternoon, instead?

I celebrate not having ANY plans! AT ALL!

except for the day of when I fly back to Provo.

aaaah, perfect.
