"Roosters create the eggs."
I often write down things people say. They are not thought-provoking, they are not inspiring. They make me laugh.
Megan: "Holy hippopotamus!"
---
Brittany: "She'll kick you with her toe."
---
Matt: "Stop footsie-ing me!"
---
Susannah: "Yeah...I get my kicks from strangers."
---
Jason: "Partyin' in the dead zone."
---
Rachel: "I needed to see what was behind door number 1."
---
Brittany: "He keeps doing that and I want to say I DON'T SPEAK SIGN LANGUAGE!"
---
Kyra: "I would be a trophy wife in a second."
---
Jason: "You fiend!"
Matt: "You were called a fiend."
Susannah: "I know, I kinda liked it."
---
Brittany: "In that bathroom is something I haven't seen since I was two."
---
Celeste: "Don't kick me there!"
Brittany: "Don't bite Susannah when she's telling a story!"
Celeste: "I had to!"
---
Rachel: "Blocks don't make good fans."
---
Brittany: "We got cuted by the bishopric."
---
Kyra: "I'm the only Who in my family."
---
Hannah: "I call her Trash. Trash is short for Veronica."
---
Mer: "She can't show me her tailbone."
Ben: "Because I'm here?"
---
Mer: "Your tailbone is not in your uterus."
---
Sus: "I want a baked potato and my bed."
---
"You killed Santa!"
"I love candy corn. You are like my drug dealer."
"Your mom looks like a squirrel."
---
Brittany: "I mean, how many people have been baptized for Elvis?"
Danny: "I have twice...love that man."
---
Celeste: "I don't really care about stuff, is that horrible?"
Brittany: "I care about stuff."
---
Danny: "I like my calves."
Susannah: "Are they your favorite muscle?"
Danny: "Mwahaha haha haha mwahaha ha haha mwahaha."
---
Susannah: "How many times are you going to say Patrick Warburton?"
Celeste: "70."
Brittany: "You have a little ways to go."
---
Celeste: "Celebrities follow her tweets."
Danny: "Michael Jackson?"
Brittany: "He's dead."
Celeste: "It's too soon!"

Texts I have locked on my phone
(Some are thoroughly out of context, some wouldn't even make sense in context, some just make me smile)
Matt: Walking home and avoiding the sprinklers was like real-life Mario.
---
Meridith: "Large" is relative anyway...for a giant.
---
Aaron: Go Susannah, go Susannah; cut the hair, cut the hair
---
Chris: Rats, I dropped my PopTart.
Susie: Haha, locked.
Chris: What? What? That wasn't funny! Unlock sesame! Slide to unlock! Bwoop bwoop car remote!
---
Matt: If Kevin is dead, shoot him again just in case.
---
Chris: I need a girl!
---
Caroline: Gouda cheese is calling for you. He is saying "Come and get me! You know you want me!" too bad there isn't actually any Gouda cheese here for you.
---
Dad: I love you, Susannah.
---
Aaron: I still have a hickey on my neck.
---
Susie: Are you going?
Chris: Not sure yet. Gotta love indecisiveness.
Susie: You need a Magic 8 Ball app.
Chris: Then I'd have to analyze the result and that would make me even more indecisive.
Susie: So then there's no hope, eh? Doomed to a life of indecisiveness because you won't take life direction from a Mattel toy.
Chris: Yep.
Susie: Probably wise; if I did everything my Barbie suggested I'd be a lifeguard ballerina school teacher astronaut. And then I'd really have no time for a social life!
Chris: Hahahahahahahaha! Love it!
---
Deborah: P.S. I love you?
---
Brittany: I just totally had a you moment because I didn't realize I was on a date until I was on it.
---
Chris: Girl geeks are hot.
---
Susannah: I ate cilantro and mentally chased you around with my cilantro-y fingers.
Meridith: Hahaha I am mentally shrieking with fake fright and running in circles away from you.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.
Jamie: "What about him?"
Suannah: "Nah, not my type."
Jamie: "What is your type, then?"
Susannah: "Umm, kinda like...me."
Jamie: "Like you? Your type is you?"
Susannah: "Yeah, sure, why not? I get along well with me; I like to hang out with me."
I am two months away from turning 27-years-old. (I know, right? Where did the time go?)
And that makes me especially susceptible to comments from, oh, just about everyone and anyone. Several times a day customers ask me if I'm married, and when I tell them I'm not they try to reassure me with things like, "It'll happen in due time." and "Don't worry, hon. You will. Just keep reminding yourself you're worth it."
Oh heavens.
I don't want/need your pity, thanks.
I have an awesome career, fun hobbies, great friends, and I'm planning fabulous vacations. I'm not sitting around, mopey, bitter.
Last week I had a customer who chastised me for being single, haha. She told me I have to start putting myself out there because if I don't I will never get married. Then she proclaimed, "Do you understand? YOU WILL BE ALL ALONE YOUR ENTIRE LIFE!"
Bwahahaha.
I love the phrase "put yourself out there." What does that even mean? It sounds like Jane Austen-y times when they present their daughter as being available to court.
My parents would tell me "put yourself out there" means I have to start being nice to guys. They are convinced I am rude to everyone around me. (Just because I, on occasion [ok, frequently], ask my father if I hurt his "widdow feewings" Hahahahaha.)

August--
* Had a crazy dream wherein I was chased through a museum, tried to get my familys attention during an orchestra concert, and found a death threat on my car...which wasn't my car.
* Used some needle-nose pliers...then they used me. Accidentally ripped my finger open and pulled off flesh on the pad of my finger with the wire-stripper part of the pliers. (The picture is a day or two later, partially healed...its hard to see the part of the flesh that was only torn back, not ripped off.)
* Woke up with a slightly painful hip. Looked in the mirror and noticed a deep-set impression of my remote control in my hip flesh. Fell over laughing. Really.
* Brought my lil niece Caroline to see the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band in concert with Rachel and her sister.
* Sat on the porch with Deborah, Aaron and Caroline until after midnight to watch the meteor shower. It was really fun.
* Stayed up until 2 a.m. with Caroline to continue watching the meteor shower. We laid out blankets on the SportCourt and pointed out each falling star. So fun!
* Went to Lagoon with my singles ward and Elizabeth, Jayar, Suzanne, Richard and their families.
It poured for the first hour or two. Plastic bag ponchos are the great equalizer.
Then the weather became PERFECT!
Got kicked off a ride because the restraint wouldn't close over my huge chest. Oy vey.
* Had a family reunion with my siblings, aunts, uncles, and a handful of cousins for my Grandma's birthday.
* Went to the home of a family friend (old neighbor of my grandparents) where is housed a ginormous collection of random old stuff. Oh how I loved it.
* Got to play with my siblings!!!
* Got a new drivers license. It is a horrible picture. I look drunk.
[picture unavailable]
* Took my car, George V Dubya, in to be fixed. Being car-less is no fun.
* Bought a hydraulic chair for my home salon. :D :D :D
* Played SuperMario Bros for Wii for the first time. Nostalgic and lovely. I would really really like to own it.
September--
* Went to the Storytelling Festival with some friends. Fun to be with friends, but bo-ring storytelling.
* Got completely out of credit card debt! Now the only money I owe is to my parents.
* Went on a roadtrip! St George! with Amy, Aubrey, Rachel, Danny, Chris, Kevin, Celeste, Brittany and Hannah. (Aaron couldn't go with us, he was replaced with a Big Hunk bar.)
* Met a Little Person. Suggested he has many Halloween costume options (R2D2) because oh my gosh, I have no tact.

* Went to Las Vegas to surprise Caroline on her birthday. Was a lot of fun.

* Got George back!!!
* Helped plan/set up/host the ward Halloween party. Dressed kind of like Ursula the Sea Witch...but a toned down version.

* Took advantage of my new Netflix account by watching entire seasons of several shows including Lie To Me, The IT Crowd, Bones, NewsRadio and others.
* Went clothes shopping with my manager and salon owner to get an outfit for the fashion show I'd been asked to model in. Lesson learned: JC Penny and Khol's are not places for a girl with any sort of curve to her if she has any sense of fashion.
* Went to the Harry Potter midnight showing with a bunch of friends. So fun.
* Received notice for prospective jury duty! Huzzah!
* Introduced Ghostbusters to some friends, none of whom enjoyed it. Crazy, crazy children.
* Thanksgiving happened. I invited Kevin to join us as he had nowhere to celebrate. Went to the movies with a bunch of siblings and nieces and nephews. Fun, fun.
December--
