• that for some reason I am a weirdo magnet at Walmart *every time I go something weird happens… but I stop telling people because it just sounds like I’m making it up* 
• I shouldn’t listen to AKON while trying to work on my writing. 
• I look 20million x (that x stands for “TIMES”) better when I’m tan
• I will always for the rest of my life be awkward… Yesterday Brother Rupp was walking towards Chad and I and the kids in the hall and I yell out “Hey Guys”  for him.  Like he was talking to us.  So then he says “Hi” and I’m like “I just yelled out “Hey Guys” like you should have said that to us…” and he was like “Don’t worry I understood” 
• I am starting to think Cliche romantic ideas/gifts/gestures are indeed romantic… but they have to be done all at the same time.  I told chad last night that I think the most romantic thing he could do for me was give me a bouquet of balloons, a giant stuffed teddy bear, a huge box of chocolates, in a room filled with a million lighted tea lights, with a rose petel covered bed, with a mixed CD playing of romantic music playing in the background, and a box in the middle of the bed that contained heart shaped diamond earrings, and and and…. if he said “I LOVE YOU” right when the SUN SET!!!  I think seperate that stuff is stupid… but combined pretty much as close to perfection as it could get. 
• I will never be able to defend myself if I’m truly threatened with harm.  I know I go through situations ALL the time of beating the crazy out of some SERIAL KILLER MONSTER in my head.  but the other day lets just say there was an “incident” where Chad scared the H out of me and I really didn’t think it was him.I thought some maniac had broken into my home in the middle of the morning when chad was at work and I was so PEAR E LIZED  with actual fear that it took me about 4 days to feel like I could breathe.
• My kids have the power to make me feel better.  And I have the power to make them feel better.  On valentines day I gave Dallen a paper heart on which I wrote on one side “I LOVE YOU DALLEN”  and on the other side “Thank you for being the best son.  You always make me laugh”  I gave it to him on the way home from church and I watched him read it and he smiled so big and then looked up at me with tears in his eyes and said “Thanks mom”  Later that day when I was in bed crying because someone  had hurt my feelings Dallen laid down beside me and hugged me and said “Te Amo Mama… Te Amo Mama” over and over.  I love my kids.  They make my life so much better. 
• They also make me laugh.  The other night I was tucking Kate into bed and I kissed her good night and she said “Please don’t give me a mom kiss again” and I said “Whats a mom kiss”  and she said “You know when your breath stinks” 
• Time is going to pass and I have no control over that.  20 years from now I want to be able to look back at right now and feel proud.  And I think that will happen because I look back at what has already transpired and feel pretty good about everything. 
• I love having friends that are funny and cool and make me happy and break me out of my funk.  
• That I will always love Diet Coke.  and Symphony chocolate bars, and fettuccine Alfredo. 
• and that I can spell my name on a calculator. 3177345

this pretty much concludes all I know
