A Girl Can Only Hope

Just a few Confessions

• I just counted 15 bottles/tubes of body lotion on my dresser.
• I afraid of my classes at school... all of them.
  
• I snitched on my supervisor last week, and he got fired.
  
• Recently I bought five 12-packs of retractable Sharpies in assorted colors.... just for fun.
• For Easter, I received a plastic tube full of cats topped with a cat head. Not kidding.
• I sewed the curtains for my room, and matching pillows.... I am also in the middle of making my first quilt.
• I have been spending as much time away from my apartment as possible recently... I can't stand the sound of my roommates voices.
• Every time I eat at Taco Bell, I tell myself I am never going back.
• I found out that my roommates boyfriend makes fun of her behind her back while he is at work. I am not going to tell her because I think she deserves a jerk like him.

January is Full of Changes!

There are days when something happens that I think I should blog about. A lot of those days have gone by, and I don't have a clue what to say. Since I have a whole month to catch up on, I'll keep it quick.


♥On January 4th, 2008, the Cooley family was expanded by one. Addilyn Marie Cooley was born around 4pm in Boulder, Colorado, while I was somewhere in the middle of Wyoming, trying to get there before she arrived!




♥On January 22, I accepted a new offer for a full time job. Now I don't have to work two part-time jobs! Yay for no more waiting tables! I start next Monday, so we'll see how I like it.



♥I have been sick for about three weeks now. I am so done, it's not even funny.



♥It has snowed here at least every other day for the past month... I am just guessing, but that feels accurate. It snowed so much, that our snow tubing activity at Soldier Hollow was canceled. Argh!



♥I... Ummm.... Errrr..... I am in the *cough* Relief Society Presidency *cough*. Ummm.... yeah. I don't know exactly who was the brilliant one to think of me, but they must not have been aware of my unwillingness to get out of bed in the morning... or maybe they were, and this is their evil plan.



♥I have a new favorite movie- Juno. I saw it twice in the theater, and I have the soundtrack. It's an excellent film, and I highly recommend it. I mentioned that fact to one of my roommates (we'll just call her 'Dagron'), and she let me know how much she hated it, and said that she walked out of the theater because it was - and I quote - "vulgar and disgusting". Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Oh, Provo.



♥Oh, and my sister turned thirty, so everyone go and make fun of her now.

All I Want For Christmas...

... is a MacBook.

Because of the money left over from when I sold my car, and the small amount from my Christmas bonus, I have six hundred dollars committed to the cause already.

All I ever get is sad love
feeling incomplete and below being loved
I don't know why it has been so hard to find love

It's The Truth, It's Factual...

~ I sleep with six pillows, three blankets, a monkey, and a giant down comforter. Most of the time, at least half of these items are covering my head and or face.

~ I have held at least a dozen jobs in my adult life. I don't get fired a lot... I just am never satisfied with work.

~ I get real mad if someone squeezes my toothpaste from the middle of the tube.

~ If I don't have a pet, I feel incomplete.

~ There are three songs on this planet that are guaranteed to make me cry from the moment I hear the first chord.

~ I have purchased a t-shirt at every concert I have ever been to.

~ I most definitely believe in feng shui.

~ I don't ever remember believing in Santa Claus.

~ I don't have many friends that are girls... guys are much easier to get along with.

~ About two years ago, pink became my favorite color. I do not remember making that decision, but I regret it now.

~ My rotten ex-boyfriend got me into the band that is now my all-time favorite on the planet, but unlike him, I find them impossible to replace.

~ I am challenged when it comes to being aware of my surroundings. Yesterday I fell up the stairs while carrying a plate of warm cookies. Later that night, I tripped over the dishwasher, and ran into the doorknob.

~ There are three flavors of gum that remind me of specific people immediately upon tasting them.

~ I've never been so alone, and I've never been so alive!

A Song About Me...

Emily do you think it’s safe to guess
that you’ll be different from the rest?
Emily I don’t know if you’re truly make believe
but my mind is open to you anyhow.
Oh someday I will say the following words to you:
Emily you’re very different from the rest ,
you have me really quite impressed.
Emily I don’t know if you’re truly someone’s dream,
but my mind is open to you now.

Now Emily brings a tray of parfait,
to the troops of sinuous felines
lounging in her chaise lounge.
Now Emily with an ardent oratory
inspires the troops of sinuous felines
to do the bidding of

Emily you know I’d love to know you best,
but are your confessions just in jest?
Emily I hope that you are truly what you seem
cause my heart is open to you.
