Truth Tuesday

• I've discovered I really enjoy going on walks (especially when BWell and the pooch are present). There are just so many things I notice in my surroundings that I would miss out on if I were running past or driving in my car. Take those trees in the picture above for instance. We'd walked past them plenty of times . . . but one day in particular . . . I suddenly noticed them. I noticed how twisted they were and they reminded me of something out of a storybook. Brian and I decided they look like whomping willows (all you Harry Potter fans, raise yo hands in the air). 

• I love going on long drives by myself. There's something liberating about running the temperature just how I like it and blasting my choice of music as loud as I want. 

• I'm jealous of all my student friends who are on vacations right now for spring break. Soooo jealous. 

• I love going out for breakfast. It is one of my all-time favorite things. 

• My least favorite meal is lunch. I love breakfast and dinner, but I always find lunch so obnoxious. It's right in the middle of the day when I'm busy doing things. How inconvenient.

• Lunch would probably be easier if I liked sandwiches. But I don't really like sandwiches. I like sandwich meat and I like bread, but I don't liked them mashed together. 

• Brian and I played pool tonight and I think we need to make it a weekly tradition. 

• My house gets cleaned more than ever in the 15 minutes before guests come over. Brian and I kid whenever the house gets messy that we better invite friends over. 

Happy Tuesday! Enjoy the rest of your week. XO

Wrong Number

Do you ever get a text message from some number you don't know? And then you don't know how to reply?

A few weeks ago, during elections at USU, I got a text from an obscure number saying something along the lines of, "Vote for so-and-so for such-and-such position!" I replied and said I wasn't a student. I thought that was the end of that.

Then a few days ago, I got another text from the same number. I figured since I used proper phone etiquette the first time around, I now had the right to have a little fun.

I told her the only Rebecca I know is my great-aunt. So I'm not sure if I know her or of how she managed to get my number, but I'm so grateful for the opportunity we had to bond over water. 

I still don't know what Water Week is though . . . and I'll probably wonder for the rest of my life. 

Truth Tuesday

• My new favorite thing is taking Munch for a walk after Brian and I get home from work. Too bad stubborn Luna won't walk on her come-with-me-kitty. Then we could be all be a happy, walking family. 

• I hate feelings of inadequacy. Hate it, hate it. I'm the worst at criticizing myself. It's probably my biggest thing in life I need to learn to overcome. 

• I have a hard time making friends. I'm bad at opening up to people. But once I make friends with someone, I can promise I'm fiercely loyal. Perhaps that's why I struggle with making friends . . . I take friendship pretty seriously. 

• I have all these beautiful flowers springing up in my yard and I'm just praying to God that I don't kill them all. 

• Sometimes I think it'd be a sweet life to just move around and live in a tent. But then I remember that I really love my house. I feel like my house is my friend, like it has this old, amazing soul. Is that weird? Probably. 

• One of my BIGGEST pet peeves is when people don't take you seriously. Now that I'm no longer a student and I'm trying to infiltrate (yes, infiltrate, it's that serious) myself into real adult life, I find it ridiculous how people treat me sometimes just because I'm young. Age is just a number. I mean, I know wisdom comes with age. But still, I've met some pretty irresponsible people in their 40s. 

• Today I interviewed the President of Winger's. I wish I could say it was because he was giving me a lifetime supply of sticky fingers. Really, it was because the Winger's in Logan closed down. I wrote a short article from his interview, posted it and sobbed big tears the whole time.

• I watched "Gravity" with my mom over the weekend and unlike the rest of the world, we thought it was really boring and I felt like the touching parts were forced. I still love Sandy B. I'm just being honest.

• I hate Tuesdays. I'm so glad this one is almost over.
