What's really on my mind

is this tray. I work at pier1 and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. I love it SO much! And all the fun things I can do with it. There are only like 15 left in the Western United States and I am determined to call this my own. I am trying to wait until I get my tax returns, but this is all I think about. I can't wait that long. I thought I knew what I was going to do with my front room when I got my own place, but I have changed my mind. This will be the inspiration for it. I know it looks kind of stupid in this picture, but it is beautiful.
That is all.

Grandma

Steven keeps calling me a grandma. Just because I get heart burn from water (everyday) and have to watch what I eat. I also take 4 motrin when I have a headache. He thinks the food and candy I like is for "old people" and that I like grandma things. I like old, vintage things, kay? Steven! Don't hate me, deal? I have an old soul.












Also: I just decided I want an oval wedding ring. Not square like everyone else, not round (well, maybe round), but oval. What I really want is my grandmas ring. Or great grandmas. Wouldn't that be awesome? I wish I was the only great grandchild sometime. But I am the oldest. Maybe I have a chance.

I also like old, antique .. well, everything. So sue me.

Addictions

I have found recently that I may be addicted to some things. I never thought this would happen to me. I haven't been addicted to anything in my life before, but the time has come. Here is a list of the random and senseless things I have found to be taking up the majority of my free time:

1. Modern Family.
One of the best, if not thee best show I have ever seen. If you haven't ever seen it, here is an episode: http://www.hulu.com/watch/118517/modern-family-not-in-my-house

2. Gossip Girls.
I never liked it until the last couple months. I am not sure why I like it, either. It is such a fake, unrealistic show. But I find it oddly interesting.

3. Facebook.
I don't even do anything exciting on there. But it keeps me updated on random things in peoples lives and for some reason I feel like I need to know these random things. Who knows.

4. Work.
I haven't worked in over a year then all of a sudden I got 2 great jobs. Pier1 and Planet Beach. I work 12 hour days sometimes between the both, then on my days off I consume my time with the things on this list. Blah.

5. Music.
When Stew and I first started dating I wasn't really a huge fan of his music. Don't get me wrong, I still love my little teenybop music they play on the radio, but the other day on my way to work I found myself saying to Steve, "Play something complex and heavy. I need something harder to listen to right now." I like his mellow music, too. Here are a couple bands has has introduced to me that I love:
Minus the Bear, Elliot Smith, Pinback, Bon Iver (the band/guy we named our dog after), Misery Signals, Poison the Well, Hot Cross, The Chariot, Band of Horses, Genghis Tron, Russian Circles, Mogwai, and probably a few more I can't remember. But I feel like the music we listen to makes us closer. Music is Stevens life, if you didn't know that already.

6. Firefox Window Shopping.
I can't buy anything, yet. But looking for furniture and things of that nature makes me feel like I am accomplishing something. Who knows why.

7. Sleeping.
I sleep too much. And just a word to the wise: Never take 2 Unisom. No matter how much you think you need it. I slept for an entire night and day. Not good.

8. Movies.
Steven and I download a new movie (if not 4 or 5) every single day. Just today alone we watched The Fourth Kind and started to watch Planet 51. :) I love movie time.

9. Candy.
After reading this list then adding candy to it, I realize that I am going to get chubby. Soon. If I don't change my ways. I haven't ever been a big fan of candy or chocolate. But all of a sudden I am.

10. Last, but not least, Pickles.
I love love love pickles and the juice. We got online the other night to see if we could buy just pickle juice. You can, but it is expensive. Lame.

So if you read this, I am sorry to waist your time.
But thank you. :)
I need to get new addictions. I will let you know when I change it up. :)

New Hobbies...

So these past few weeks Steven has been teaching me to do something I would of never done otherwise. He has taught me how to longboard. I think the correct words to use in that sentence would be is teaching because I am terrible.

But the only problem is we only have 1 board. So Steven walks Iver while I practice and I feel awful using it when he doesn't have one. te he. I am waiting to get one, they are not that expensive, but they are more money than I have.

I am waiting on my tax returns (they are being sent back to me tomorrow) to buy one. :)
So if I don't blog or get on Facebook soon, it is because I have died.

So there is just that heads up. Let me know if you have an extra longboard and want to go with me. haha. Because I am going to want to use it. OR tell me if you want to longboard when I get one, because I need boarding friends. :)

That's all, folks.

Stevens actual board. I am jealous of him. ha

Easter

This year was the first Easter Stew and I have spent together. :) We didn't do anything too exciting, though. We went to Steve's parents house at around 2, watched conference, and filled eggs with candy. His nephew, nieces, and cousins came and did an egg hunt, we had dinner, and just hung out. :)
We don't have kids so we didn't make too big of a deal of Easter, but we played with Iver. Tehe. He is our little kidders. But Kristi (Steven's mom) gave us an Easter basket full of candy and a movie! :)
Nothing too exciting on this post, I just want to remember our first Easter together! Pictures will be up later! :)

April Fools

Today I tried to be sneaky. Steven tried to pour a cup of freezing cold water on me this morning then said "April Fools". Steve, this is not a joke. It really happened. You cannot say "just kidding" after something like that. So I decided to get him back. First I got a pill to change his urin red. Yes, oldest trick in the book. But I was so excited. I put it in his coke, thinking it would just desolve and he could drink it, and it turned it red. I got caught. Then I thought I needed to be a little more cleaver. So I posted adds on KSL for random things he was selling. He got texts and phone calls all day for random things. He was so confused at first but I finally told him. I could only pretend to laugh at Chelsea Handler for so long. :) He is still a little bitter twards me, but he will get over it. I also did something stupid to my computer and it crashed. I said "April Fools" and he got to reformat it for me! Yay! I love it now. He didn't get to pull any more pranks on me, but all I know is I better not be with him next year. I know he is smarter with pranks than me. We have a lot of fun together on random holidays, though. Just because I haven't blogged in so long I will post a picture from St. Patricks day. :)

So cute. I love Steven. His tie and hat made my year. :)
