Dead-on

     

I was going to just stick this on here and leave it but than I thought maybe I should add a little. Like, why does it have to be so true? It makes me want to smile and frown at the same time. 

I have noticed in the passed what a hard time I have giving a compliment, a hug, a thank you, and sometimes even saying happy birthday. Is it just me?! 

I thinks it's because it is just so hard to be rejected when you try so hard to give something. It takes a long time to get the words out and then sometimes they are laughed at, or tuned out while the other person (who seems to be having and equily hard time just saying thanks) shoves off the compliment or what ever it was you gave. 

I am amazed at the time I have getting a compliment out of my mouth when criticism comes out so easily! I usally like to say something nice as I pass by on my way into another room so I wan't have to be around for their reaction. I know it's awful!  

And don't even get me started on giving hugs! The does he/she want one question bugs me until, most of the time, I just end up not getting a hug at all. 

There's this song I really like and it has a line in it that says:  "When I get where I'm going.... I will love and have no fear", I think it kinda sums it up. I'm not talking about sweetheart, fall in love, sort of love; I'm just talking about the best friends, the people who you couldn't go through life without, the ones who's can hurt you the worst because you look up to them. Really far up!

BTW I'm trying to get pictures up on here soon. We've had some really fun days and lots of great pictures but I just haven't gotten the chance to get them on here. 

Glory

Too cute

Things a like! A lot of them anyway.

So, I'm siting in bed waiting for this fever -that some sweet, little, innocent kid probably gave- to die!  

But while I sit here I have a few minutes. (It's running time right now and obviusly....) And with a few free minutes there are a lot of things you can do! How about come up with.... I don't know, let's say 42, things I really like! (I don't know where I got the 42. It's probably not even close.) 

Here they are! 

-Good hugs (I'm not going to define good because that's imposible. They're just good!)  

-Waves (the hand kind. Though the water kind are great too!) 

-Smiles! The kind that reach the eyes. 

-Sticking my head out he car window. (While he car is moving; preferably at a good speed so it messes up your hair.) :)   

-Sharp pencils. (Have you ever smelled them? Really good) 

-Ice-cream 

-Apples with peanut-butter 

-High swings! I want to scream thinking about it. :) 

-Brown eyes! 

-Puple (the color, not eyes!) 

-Blue (also the color but the eyes are beautiful too) 

-Sweet songs that make you smile 

-Wind! 

-Stacks of new paper 

-Leters addressed to me. :P 

-Sunsets!! (The best time of day! For sure.) 

-Running shoes

 

-Sharpies

-Bracelets

 

-A good win. Ok, and a good lose. (Soccer and Othello!) 

-Naps! 

-Popping bubble-wrap 

-Laughing until my sides hurt! 

-Swimming-pools (well actually any big thing of water could make me happy) 

-Pictures of wonderful days

-Excuses to yell!! 

-When I'm one of the few to get a jok. Yes it does happen! 

-A 'good job' from someone. Anyone! 

-Taking a running start and jumping into a lake! 

-Good hair days

-Weeds that come up by the roots 

-Writing a story; every sentence so as to make you see it, not just read it! 

-The feeling you get when you do something new and exciting for the first time. 

-Big, open fields

-The sound of someone sliding their fingers up the fretboard on a guitar. (E A D and G) 

 

-Dirty fingernails. (Makes you feel like you've done something) (Clean ones are great too.) 

-Sitting on the roof 

-Making someone smile! (Isn't that why I did this goofy post?) 

Alrigh I'm done! I don't know how many that is, but I bet you'll count just out of curiosity. ;D 

I resisted putting to much food or any clothes on the list bacause that could have taken some serious time!  

By the way, I hyphenated all the words that I think should be one word. I read somewhere that after two words are hyphenated long enough people start just writing them as one word. I'm trying to start 

something here! 

Well bye, 

Rachel

A pause in the moments of craziness. Don't be fooled by the calm smiles. ;) 

The night for catching people making funny/cute/silly faces.

It was Jamie's birthday and Ashton drew a picture of Flynn and Rapunzel. It's incredible.

My new lock screan picture! 

The matching was unintentional. :)
