25 days of Christmas
one of my favorite things about this season is the music. let's just be honest, music is one of my favorites things about life, but Christmas music is extra fantastic. i have already compiled 3 separate Christmas playlists which i am continually expanding.

sometimes, i get angry
and when i get angry i write these sorts of posts. sorry.
dear parents,
i understand that you are frustrated that the bus is late, but since i am neither on the bus nor psychically controlling it, getting mad at me won't do you any good. plus, i have to wait for them to get back too. it's not as if i WANT to stay here for an extra half-hour that i'm not actually getting paid for, and i am most certainly not enjoying all the dirty looks and frustrated sighs.
grrrrr...
lindsay
p.s. one of your children puked on the carpet/furniture on the way out. thanks for ducking out the door without even offering to help, leaving me to stay even longer and clean it up. oh, and he was part of the reason the bus was late, just fyi
maybe i should have called in sick and put up my Christmas decorations instead...

"i'm resistant to sunshine"
are you now? is that like the opposite of being allergic to sunshine?
"...february 31st..."
wouldn't that be a TERRIBLE birthday?! no party ever, YIKES!
"a boot attacked my face!"
do you mean that you hit yourself in the face with a boot? because that's equally embarrassing
"your hair is hairy."
why thank you. i work so hard to keep it that way
"you hipped my elbow!"
i was unaware that hip could be used as a verb. come to think of it, it can't. we may need to have a little chat about parts of speech...

helping hands
i was going to write a big post about this, but i'm a big crying mess right now and i am struggling to formulate coherent thoughts so instead, i'll just let this video speak for itself. please take a few minutes to watch and stay right to the very end, i promise you won't regret it. and if you want to cry with me, i won't judge you. it's beautiful.
it is things like this that remind me of how wonderful the human race is. i want to extend a big, fat, enthusiastic thank you to all of the volunteers who have banded together to help those who have been affected by this disaster and the many others across the world, and an especially huge thank you to those who have helped my friends when, as much as i wanted to be, i was unable to be there myself.
if you would like more information about mormon helping hands and other humanitarian aid efforts organized by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, click here

it's my favorite day of the week:
"i felt my brain bounce!"
ummm...you fell out of a chair. your brain may have bounced, but since that's the most activity it has seen in quite some time i suggest you be grateful you have a brain and maybe start treating it better
"i have little boy swag"
you are a teenage girl. this is weird.
"i put my front arms..."
as opposed to your back arms...?
the rest of these are from the same conversation with a single teen. oy vey!
"martin luther junior king...junior martin luther king...martin junior luther king..."
none of those are correct. care to try again?
(in reference to martin luther king jr.) "he's the reason why i can talk whenever i want"
no. he's not. he did a lot of wonderful things, but securing you the right to say stupid things whenever you want is not among them. also, i'm pretty sure he would face palm if he heard you speaking right now.
(also in reference to mlk jr.) "he's the one who saved all the white people"
seriously?! he saved the white people? from what exactly? i would very much like to hear this story, mostly because i'm fairly certain it will be filled with many more of these embarrassing (for you) moments.
"get off my body foot"
i'm just gonna let that one sink in a little bit...
"it amuses me and i don't even know what that word means."
brilliant. please continue using words you don't understand. i'm sure it will really pay off for you in the long run. you actually managed to use this one correctly so who knows?!
"i'm going to eat the blood out of you"
i would ask if you were a vampire, but you said "eat" and vampires "drink" so i'm a little confused. are you intending to let the blood congeal? possibly make blood pudding out of it? well, too bad because you can't have it! i'm still using it
"terry just farted. it smells so bad, it smells like cinnamon buns. he cinnamon bunned on this chair."
i was unaware that "cinnamon bun" could be used as a verb. in all honesty, i'm still laughing at this one...
also, this is my 200th post. i think i will celebrate by eating chocolate

pumpkin spice playlist
as promised, here are the songs i am listening to on repeat this season. i know i sort of missed a couple of months, but better late than never. to be honest, i didn't actually miss them, i am just slow to share.

sounds of the season
i'm totally one of those weird people who creates a playlist to suit each season of the year. this year's fall playlist is coming together beautifully, but it's still missing something, so i'm asking my peeps (that's you) for a little help. what song(s) are you listening to repeatedly? is there a song that just feels like fall? should i learn to play it on the piano?

dear boys,
if you like me, you are doing a terrible job of showing it.
if you don't like me you are doing a terrible job of showing it.
make up your mind please and thank you.
that is all.
sincerely,

a few tidbits of over-heard conversations in the teen center recently with my personal commentary included in italics
"where's alaska?"
seriously? i know all you teens are geographically challenged, but alaska is part of OUR COUNTRY! also, it's a big state. it's not like when i mix up vermont and new hampshire, which are small and kind of look alike.
"i'm like the girl napoleon dynamite...i mean bonaparte"
i'm sorry to have to tell you this sweetie, but neither of those options is especially complimentary
"people eat my hair on a daily basis"
WHAT!?? EWWW!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!!!?
"please don't draw on my butt"
i appreciate the fact that you have used your manners here, but i feel like you should be a little more upset in this circumstance
"i almost choked on my hair"
what, did you have a fur-ball caught in your throat? how does that even happen?
and a few from me because i can't let these poor teenagers be the only awkward peeps in the room, that would just be sad
"if this were real life..."
i hate to break it to you self, but this is real life. i know, i was shocked too
"i'm dating your best friend. no i'm not. that would be weird."
you know what's weird? the fact that these words passed your lips in a room full of minors. engage brain, then speak!

and by that i mean...
dear cardigan,
you're so cute in your old man sweater. and by that i mean you remind me of a childhood television icon. you're like the hispanic mr. rogers. won't you be my neighbor?
nostalgically,
lady elaine fairchild
dear rudy,
i miss your hair. and by that i mean, you are the only man who has ever presented evidence that long(ish) hair on a man isn't so terrible. well, you and thor, but he's a demigod whose actual existence is debatable, so pretty much just you.
surprisingly,
(not) rapunzel
dear philosophe,
most of what you say goes completely over my head. and by that i mean everything between "hello" and "goodbye." also, you remind me of josh groban with your mass of dark, curly hair. i wonder if you can sing...
stupidly,
college educated
dear ambiguous,
i don't know if we're really friends anymore. and by that i mean that asking me to define our friendship defines our friendship as non-existent.
disappointingly,
sad face
dear man-voice,
i really like your man voice. and by that i mean i really like your man voice. also, you smell good.
admiringly,
man hands
