Annoying Habits

I don't know why, but I've been thinking about annoying habits and mannerisms that I have that I cant seem to convince myself to fix. For example, do any of you have the same problems?...
1-avoiding using the bathroom even when you REALLY have to go because you know that there is only a little bit of TP left on the roll and you REALLY REALLY don't want to have to change it, especially since whoever changes it seems to be forever stuck with the job. For whatever reason, who ever starts the roll always ends up ending the roll too because the TP companies apparently make the roll to work out like that. I always wait it out until David uses it unless I'm extremely desperate
2)Leaving the smallest amount of water left in the water filter because you also dont want to put new water in. And if your spouse/roommate conplains, you can always say "hey, there was water in it the last time I used it." No need to admit that there was only maybe a half a glasses worth in it. David's favorite is leaving an entire empty juics pitcher in the fridge. When I question him about it, he always informs me that he did it on purpose so that the next time he makes juice it will be cold. I can't tell if he's being serious or not.

3)Leaving a pile of shoes in the front room until you cant take it anymore. I've always had a problem putting my shoes away into their proper place in the shoe bin in my closet (As Autumn can attest to since she always put them grudgingly away for me because she couldnt stand it) and the problem is that I married someone who is almost identical to me. We both string our shoes everywhere until one of us gets to the breaking point and announces "Ok, the shoe limit in the living room has been met. 5 minute shoe clean-up NOW!"
4)Changing into PJs or sweatpants the SECOND you get home from work or wherever at night. Sometimes I swear I start unbuttoning my pants walking to the apartment so that I can get them off ASAP. I can NOT stand wearing jeans or pants or a skirt all day. I'm always a little sad when we decide to go somewhere at night because that means putting the said jeans back on. David can NOT understand why I change ever night. He always wears his clothes until bedtime....even on Sundays. Sundays is not even close to a jeans day option! I go to church and get outta the skirt as quickly as I can once we get home. I especially love my fuzzy black ones :)

5)Singing along with EVERY commercial I know the words to. My favorite ones include JG Wentworth's "I have a structured settlement and I need Cash now", Freecreditreport.com (which I was extremely disappointed in because they recently changed it), the San Diego commercial, and SNL's "Hubble Gotchu!" David used to laugh at me for doing it all the time, now he tries to out-sing me when they come on. "IT'S MY MONEY AND I NEED IT NOW!" haha

I know that I have many more than this, but these are a few that come to mind. How about you? What do you do that is annoying?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID



Happy birthday "Mr. 25"! Today is David's big bad 25th birthday. He was super impatient so he already opened all his presents and got his cake, but we're going out to dinner tonight with Melissa and Brandon and Co. at Bucco di Bepo. And we were sure to get up early for his free Grand Slam breakfast at Dennys. I signed him up for every free offer in town (like I did for my birthday as well) so he will be enjoying free Coldstone, free DQ, free Benihanas, and free Tucanos. I just love getting free stuff and going outta my way to get it. Thanks everyone for helping us celebrate his big day. Happy birthday, my birthday boy!

94 degrees has never felt so good

Happy fake-me-out Springtime. So I officially hate Utah. I kid you not, we had freakin snow last week. That's right, I said SNOW! And now today (and yesterday) I wake up to gallons of rain falling. I have had about as much "April showers" as I can take, especially considering it's mid-May now. Anyhow, despite the crappy weather and lack of sunshine, David and I opened the pool here and have been swimming ourselves silly. Now not all of you out there may realize that the max temperature that a pool is allowed to legally be set at is 85 degrees (and trust me, we keep it set right at 85 because of the cold weather). Well, a few days ago the igniter for the pool broke so we had to replace it with a new shiny one and needless to say, the new one is apparently much more efficient then the 20 year old one so the old setting for 85 degress is apparently the new setting for 94+ degrees! We were happily playing the new Super Mario Bros game when one of the tenants tracked us down and said "Umm...the pool is like really warm....I mean super hot. It feels like the same temperature as the hot tub." Concerned, we raced down the stairs and take the temp of the pool and it turns out she was right. We measured it at 94 degrees and it was still going up. Taking full advantage of the now giant hot tub, we turned off the heater and jumped in. And let me just say 94 degrees has never felt so good! I told David to keep it at this temperature but apparently it's not safe or something lame like that. All I can say is that I'm glad that Mr. City Pool Inspector didn't decide to make an unwelcome visit. It's back down to 85 degrees and now it feels so cold.

False Alarm

I lied when I said that it's finally Spring around here. Granted, David and I did spend painstakenly long hours reopening the nastily dirty pool and spruncing up the place around here only to wake up to snow the last two days. Tomorrow's forcast: more snow. That's it, I've had it. We're moving to the beach tomorrow. I can't take Utah's lousy weather anymore. May is on Saturday for crying out loud.

HP is being released early...wait what?!


In case you were led astray too into believing that Harry Potter 7: Part 1 was coming out in June instead of November by a tenant who INSISTED that it was true, DO NOT BE FOOLED. I checked online because I'm lame and have no life and am stuck on the computer for 5 hours a day entering new tenants into the system and paying a bazillion bills and found out that she was indeed wrong. And Yes! I'm depressed now. That tiny little gleam of hope has been crushed. Well, on the bright side, I guess David has an extra 5 months to finish/START all the HP books that I bought him for our anniversary. Looks like that was a good buy afterall....I mean they do look nice collecting dust on our bookshelf. Next time I'm sticking to a sure thing: a new skateboard.

SPRING FINALLY

It's officially getting warm in our neck of the woods and not a moment too soon! David is opening the complex pool next week and I'm pretty excited...mostly to get people off my backs with their pestering "When will the pool be open? The place across the street opened theirs last week." My normal response is "Feel free to go swim across the street then!" What children (or students in our case) forget to remember is that we will most likely have another snow or extremely cold day before it's officially warm and safe to have it open. Whatever, if the pipes bust I"ll just put it their bill! Other than the normal idiocy I deal with most days, I"m in a very good mood because it's warm out. I'm dreaming of swimming in the ocean and relaxing on the beach. I still can't remember why I live in Utah. Oh yeah, David is a forever student! One can dream...

Happy Easter

Hoppy Easter! This year our Easter was pretty low-key with General Conference but it was still fun. I am drowning in chocolate and candy! If anyone wants some PLEASE OH PLEASE come to my house first. I got a giant box from my mom and dad, followed by an overflowing basket from David (I mean the E.B.), and then of course I got him a basket too. Not to mention we still had leftover candy/treats from my birthday. Good thing we're joining the gym tonight or it could be a scary sight in a couple weeks. David and I did the whole hide-baskets thing which was super fun. He made mine really easy this year because last year it took me like an hour to find and this year I made his really hard to find because I made it too easy last year. Needless to say, I was enjoying chomping away at my candy while he was getting frustrated. Like I said, it was a great Easter! :)
I'm thankful for holiday that are focused on Christ. I am so thankful for Him and the gospel and the resurrection that allows us all to return back to our Father in heaven. I am so thankful for family and friends and the blessings we enjoy. Happy Easter!
