Random PRTSC

Sometimes, I take a screen shot
(you have a little button that says "PRTSC")
because my life is hilarious.
      ...and my life exists on the computer?


Of course I save the hilarious bits, but they're only so hilarious if I don't share them.
So I am going to share
Because they are hilarious.

Crime Scene Hot Shoe

Am I the only one who thinks this picture looks like it was taken straight from a crime scene?

Facebook Anniversary Reminder

Thank you, Facebook. I had no idea.

John Smack Brin

I swear, officer, I just ran into a firewall!

Volatile Savings

Disclaimer: 

I have never been to a crime scene.

I know when my Anniversary is.

John does not beat me.                                                   (physically or at games :P)

We are fairly smart with our finances. 

The Sing-Off

Woot!

FB This Day in 2010: Best Hubby

Perhaps it was true that day...

But it's true every day!

Dull Family Moments

Every month on the first Sunday we Nelsons have a "Family Chat."

I love the idea of having this time to talk with all my family, getting caught up with more than just the "weekly" letters only a couple of us send out. It's different to have a conversation, even electronically, instead of just a general "here ya go" of lives.

Unfortunately, our chats are not as successful as I envision. This has led to much discussion between John and I as to what could fix that. I'm not here to go on and on about solutions or vent about problems. 

I'm here because I think I'm hilarious, and I think my family's reactions are even more hilarious.

Yup. Nothing.

Ah. There we go.

Pigtails.

Sometimes John squeezes and pokes and bites me.

Today he compared it to an elementary school boy who pulls on a girl's pigtails.

"I just like you so much. I have all this energy, I can't contain it and I don't know how else to let it out.

"I like you so much!!!"

:)
I like him, too.

Paradise Permeating

I've talked about my obsession with lilacs before:

Day 12: Lilacs
Day 23: 15 Facts
Day 1: 15 Facts by Johnny

So I don't think I have to explain back story. :)
In the second link it shows a picture of some of the lilac-smelling things I own. Despite my desire to smell lilacs all the time, I have purposefully procrastinated using most of them. Why? Because I didn't want to waste them on places that simply didn't deserve this divine smell.

Well, I'm in my own home. I've had one of my oil-heater thingies set up in the front room for a while, but I didn't have any unscented votive candles to use (I have plenty of lilac smelling votive candles :P). I bought a bag of tealights (discounted!) the other day so...go.

I got distracted and temporarily forgot about it.
Then I smelt this absolutely heavenly amazing smell, and I was confused. I've been too busy since I got home from school (ending in Zumba) to shower yet, so there's no way it was me. Even my perfume from this morning has faded. I didn't get it.
Then I did.
And I'm in paradise.

I am SO glad that it works. I've been worried that none of them would work since the house is big and there is a lot of open air to permeate. But it does it well. And I am happy.

I love this.

I started school last week. I was apprehensive, worried, nervous, scared, and bracing myself for drudgery.
I was also dead excited to have a life.

I could bore you with the details, but right now I want to focus on the things that are making emotions pulse through me.

I love that the classes at SLCC are small and personable.
I love half of my teachers, and I like the other half.
I love that I can raise my hand and participate.
I love that I feel like for once in my school career I will be actually learning something.

I love that the government is paying me to go to school.
I love that I can get up every day.
I love that I come home and still have energy even though I'm physically exhausted and hungry.
I love that my Sarah Lynn will be in my Institute class. We haven't had a real class to be together in for years.
I love that I saw my wonderful good friend Stephen today.
I love that I got to share with Stephen in Institute, and that talking about religion didn't leave us both frustrated.
I love that I know people.
I love that I feel confident enough that my outgoing side is bursting out.

I love that I'm burning a million calories and working out my leg muscles like crazy in Zumba.
I love that I'm excited to read my textbooks...perhaps cover to cover.
I love love love that I became friends with Aura Kenney today.
I love that Aura and I talked for at least an hour and a half straight and it was thoroughly enjoyable, and slightly addicting.
I love a million other things.
I love that each of the above were things I thought about, and got happy because of, before I wrote this.

Life freaking rocks.
