Some random thoughts

 I've been wanting to do a single blog post where I laid it all on the line for a while now. I know not everyone will agree with me, and I won't agree with everyone else, but it feels good to be getting it all out there. Some of these are serious, and others are silly, so take it with a grain of salt. :)

I think strapless dresses rarely look good on anyone.

People who criticize me for complaining, are really just giving me another thing to complain about.

I'm mormon, which means I believe in Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father. I believe that everyone gets the chance to be together with their families in Heaven forever. It's all about love, baby.

If I could do anything for the next two years, I would join the peace corps. Too bad a baby and grad school gets in the way. 

I'm a feminist - and before you start arguing that there's no need for feminists and that women have equal opportunities, ask yourself this: Why are women paid less than men? Why do I know so many people who are against me going to graduate school because I "take away the spot from a man trying to provide for his familiy"? 

One of these days, I will travel to europe. Preferably with Whitney. For at least a month.

I'm a liberal conservative republican democrat. (I'm against partisanship). I like some things from either sides, and I hate the idea that just because I belong to one party I'm forced to subscribe to their way of thinking. 

I hate people who drive fast to show off for a date. Nothing says bad date like actually killing your date. Just sayin. 

I like recycling. People who don't recycle are dumb. 

I have anxiety disorder. Little things stress me out pretty easily. Luckily, I have an amazing husband who helps me see the humor in my panic attacks.

Cats are too smart for their own good. Dogs are just dumb enough to be the perfect friend. 

I used to want to be a senator, but then I realized that I hated debating with stubborn people who have dumb ideas.

People often criticize me for getting married young, but what they don't know is that I dated more guys than people who marry later in life.

When you meet your soul mate, you just know. And your forget anyone else who doesn't understand and support it.

I will NOT  be a stay at home mom. Instead, both jeff and I will be part-time stay-at-home-parents.

and dress like this. :)

As soon as you're old, you're allowed to be crazy, and everyone else has to put up with you. When I am 70, I want to:
- get all the botox I can pay for. (possibly in my bum. no saggy butt for me!)
- join a nudist colony for a while
- eat nothing but french fries for a month
- always drive either 15 miles above or below the speed limit
- pretend that I can't hear someone if they're annoying or boring to talk to.
- carry a bag of marbles around just so that in public places I can scream "I've lost my marbles!!!"

If any animal will take over the world someday, it will be elephants, not apes. I mean, really. Monkeys fling their own feces.

I honk my horn frequently. How else am I supposed to teach other people to learn from their stupid driving mistakes?

Jeff and I are planning on being rediculously poor for the next 6-10 years. We're thinking that if we get all the poverty out of the way, then we'll have to make money eventually!

I have some gargantuan feet. (size 11). But, you know what they say about women with big feet... we have big hearts! (and we can't dance.)


I would never say anything bad about my husband. He is absolutely amazing.

 However, he's pretty scary when he's watching a football game. We've had neighbors check up on me later to make sure he wasn't beating me. "no, I'm fine, he was just watching a football game...."

I think body image is out of control for women in the US. Sadly, it's even worse in the LDS (mormon) community, and I'm hoping to do more research on the subject in grad school.

I'm going to put my kids into sports at a really young age. Not because I'm a super competitive soccer mom, but because there's something freakishly adorable about small little chubby kids trying to be coordinated enough to do sports. :)
