I fail.

I stink at blogging. I'm even worse at math. I can't sing. I don't make my bed. My roommate takes better pictures than I do. I stapled myself the other day. I finished an assignment 13 minutes before it was due and forgot part of it. I don't have a boyfriend. I forget to cover brownies and they go stale. I use "weak construction" in my essays. I spill things. I drop my phone all the time. I hardly ever wear makeup. I forget to text people back. I put off doing dishes and cleaning out the fridge. I get annoyed with people over little things. I never know what day it is. I have cheesey ideas for group projects. I don't eat vegetables. I own too many shoes. I spend too much money. I have never run a mile in less than 11 minutes.

I fail.

But you know what?

It's ok.

I can't do it.

But God can.

He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Isaiah 40:29

He gives me the ability to move on with life after bad grades, breakups, blowups, messes, and everything else I get myself into.

On my own, I'm never good enough.

I have nothing to offer.

Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yes, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Isaiah 41:10

Good thing I'm not on my own.

Because me + God is always enough.

Snow the second

I feel like I should tell you something.

I do not like snow.

Yes, I said it. It needed to be said, judging by how many of the kids at school are all like, "when we get back you are going to play in the snow with me yayyy"

To that I say, "How about we watch a nice movie while wearing Snuggies and drinking hot chocolate?"

Do that not sound more enjoyable?

I know you are wondering how in the world anyone could not like snow. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I get cold very easily. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I dislike muddy slush. Or maybe it has to do with all of those times I've gone to work at 5:50 am and had to clean my car off. Regardless, I am just not a fan of snow.

I think it is very nice when it is falling. It's even nice for about an hour or two after it's on the ground. After that, however, it can just disappear. No cold. No slush. No car cleaning. No fish tailing. No.

I am a big fan of spring, summer and fall. Just not winter.

Lemme say it one more time for emphasis...

I do not like snow.

Snow.

For the record, any typos are due to the fact that my keyboard is being wonky.

We have three inches of snow. Which is much better than the nine that I thought we were supposed to get, but we really weren't. In my humble opinion, snow is nice for about 90 minutes. After that, give me some hot chocolate and bring on spring.

"There are five wraiths behind you. Where the other four are, I do not know."

Thermal shirts are my favorite..

I am currently sitting at home alone with a Mt. Dew and some super cool green socks. My entire family has been abducted by aliens and they are currently negotiating with the government for the nation's supply of cheese balls.

This morning I had to work super early. As I was about to leave, I heard the front door open and close, and it freaked me out until I realized it was just the newspaper guy. Then when I left, his car was across the street, still running, with the lights on, but he wasn't in it. Which was also frightening. I almost thought I was going to die, but then he came back from the other house whose paper he was delivering and drove away. Long story short, I did not die.

Two Thousand Eleven? Twenty Eleven?

Who decides these things? I don't even know...

2010 was over all a rather nice year. Oh wait, there were those three weeks when I had a second job...I almost forgot about that...not a good experience, for sure.

Aaanyway, I don't even remember most of last year...I got to watch most of my childhood friends graduate from highschool, had my first boyfriend, started college, and drove through KC by myself. Good times. I met a lot of amazing people, and a few not so...

My new year's resolution is: Facebook all the time. Stay up way too late. Get yelled at for breaking quiet hours. Have random adventures.

Just keepin' it real.

Random ramblings that slightly vary from those before.

Anyone watch Falcons vs. Saints last night? Not cool.

To give you any idea of how utterly awesome my life is, I think you should know what my siblings gave me for Christmas. Sibling #1 gave me a light-saber. Sibling #2 gave me cheese balls and a stick unicorn. Sibling #3 gave me bubble wrap.

I miss school people.

No way! A bajillion people are engaged!

In other news, I went back to work today. Wasn't half bad. I can't walk anymore, but that is the price you pay. A few people were even happy to see me. Success!

Merry Christmas!

Whyyyy do we say "merry"? Every other holiday is "happy." Christmas is the only "merry" holiday. Why is that? We don't use the word "merry" any other time. Ever.

My father just ran in and shot me with a Nerf rifle.

I have bubble wrap.

Merry Christmas:)
