I live under the constant, (god willing) irrational fear that there are snakes inside my house. Whenever I hear anything rustle or anything fall or anything make noise I pretty much die a little.

You’ll have to excuse me, I’m a little moody today. I took it as a personal offense that the solar eclipse yesterday was not visible in my world. I don’t think I’ve ever even seen one.
Screw you right back, mother nature. Screw. You.

My ideal would be sleeping in a giant freezer haha I love to make my room as cold as humanely possible before burrowing into my covers and sleeping rip van winkle style.
Today was UMD’s graduation, I finished finals Fri, I STARTED finals over a week ago. How do I not have any grades?!? I’m not sure when I started dedicated fucks towards finding out grades but I guess I’m doing that now and I’m pissed as hell I’m not succeeding.

this doesn't actually matter. at all.
I can not do anymore school.
I can’t.
I’m a 100 years old. I’m too old for this shit.
I don’t even want a job anymore.
I’ll stay home and bust out babies (ok, really? I won’t) for the foreseeable future if someone would solemnly swear to keep me in feta and coffee until death do us part. (which shouldn’t be that long if I’m living on feta and...

I just realized I have nine days left nannying. This is really fortunate as I’ve been out of fucks to put towards this shitty job since… Last November.

I practiced my “I had a farm in Africa” and “a dingo ate my baby” accents the whole ride into school today.
The day has only improved from there.
Oh hey. I’m in hell. Hell is an elementary school band festival. It is 1000 degrees, loud, smelly and just all around unpleasant.
It does help that I look like some horrendous creature you’d find living in cave. No one wants to sit near me.
This humidity (/life) is killing me. I look like Hagrid’s identical (though inexplicably shorter) twin sister, Hagredda.
It is not pretty.
School is actually killing me today. It’s the last week, one class was cancelled and I overslept and missed another. I’m well out of fucks or even partial fucks to give to the matter. My last day of nannying is less than a month away.
Oh! And I cut the cuticle in my right index finger on an effin grape stem. It’s throbbing like a sonuvabitch.
And I keep forgetting that once...
I have been in the car since just about Thursday. Now I’m home in bed and Matilda’s on.
I’m busy.

I have to write this paper tonight. I’ve finished everything else. I can put it off no longer. However, I seem to be very, very busy shopping for scented candles online. I don’t even know why I think that is an even kinda good idea. My screen ain’t no scratch and sniff.

I have been working on/painting my nails while looking at this paper for the entire weekend. It is 11:00 on Sunday night and I have yet to make any measurable headway.
Here’s a list of things I have done:
shopped extensively for candles, bought 0
bought 2 new song books
painted my nails twice
reorganized my nailpolish collection
dusted
put away clean laundry (still have no washed...

Yankee Doodle’s Harvest candle is my most favorite thing in the world. Especially when I’m bound to my desk with a never ending to do list.
It’s basically May?
No way, sir. It smells like a daggone fall festival up in this place.
I have been toiling away at business cards for days (DAYS) now trying to make something effective, not cheesy, and mostly cheap.
I finally settle on something and ask my mom’s opinion and my dad, who has been sitting there EACH AND EVERY night just pipes up “oh I can print those for you no problem.” just send me your design.
gah. I mean thanks, Daddy, obviously, but gah!

I have some tomato/red pepper hummus at home and some feta and baby carrots
Home is where the feta is.

So, again, the brightest spot of happy in my day is my lunch (and my old ear anatomy sub was te guest lecturer in my audiology class today. I love him. (he did not smell horrible today) There you have it.) anyway Sunday I took a pork loin and encrusted it with pecans and panko and rosemary. Then I served it with a spicy raspberry adobo sauce. SO today I chopped up some pork an thinned out te...

This is dull. I am dull.
I just ate the lunch of champion 8 year olds. (pbj, baby carrots, grapes) I’m still super hungry and having a really horrible allergy crisis.
But I did get the highest score on exam I got back today. In the class. (of course I mostly failed the first one so the feeling of victory quickly fades when I check my new average)
My face and throat have been on FIRE all day. I don’t think they are related except in that they both are making me very cranky. That and I slept 2.5 hours last night simply because I couldn’t get back to sleep this morning.

Dear diary
I went out tonight and got stinking drunk. In the process I screamed laughed so hard I think I busted a vocal fold. And thus end my lfe long streak of having never, ever lost my voice. I guess I haven’t really lost it but it hurts too much to use if. Anyway I ha a most excellent time and drank something called a blood and bubbles and it was marvelous. I also ate some sushi so delicious my...

I guess I should maybe start putting myself together a little better before I come to work. I’m going to see a friend in Rocky Horror tonight so I put like a base of makeup to add to before I get there and I mentioned I was going to my youngest ward. Her response? “yea I thought you were a little fancy in the face”.
Am I hormonal?
Uh think so. I just exclaimed outloud to myself, “grandma utz or death.”
Ok, I’m not. I jut really fucking love Grandma Utz

I think it should be a rule that if you post one zillion of your own wedding pictures on Facebook (ps the one of your hands together always makes you both look like you have sausage fingers) you do not get to post 100 of them on pintrest too. If you didn’t invite me to your wedding I shouldn’t be expected to care about it.

If you’re keeping score? 2 washes is absolutely not enough washes to wash the stench of fish oil out ones clothes.

I’ve already decided I’m taking part of my found $20 and getting myself a decent amount of discount Easter candy. Or a Rita’s waterice (that’s what that’s called, right?).
I had this day dream earlier in which my life was sitting in my bed watching tv and eating candy and cheezits for extended amounts of time during the day. It was the (saddest) greatest thing ever.

I have to brag about my salad right now. It is spinach with feta (obvs), craisins, DATES, almonds, and WALNUT. Oh I feel so fancy and so happy.

I’d sell my soul not to stay for my last class. It doesn’t start for another 1.75 hours but we had an exam last week that was super hard for me. So I guilted myself into it. Then? I found $20. I’m assuming the universe is paying me to stay.

The worst thing I've ever done as of 4/09
I washed and dried my clothes and sheets/towels with a fish oil pill. All my clothes and sheets and towels smell like low tide. I haven’t told my mom yet but her dryer still kinda smells like the beach. (not in any sorta pleasant way)

My family is going to brunch together tomorrow and I’m excited for it like its Christmas.
It’s Easter and they aren’t even going to church.

My room is so clean and so dust free I may never leave it. (and I have a metric ton of stuff to donate that will no longer be in my life. Wahoo)

I didn’t even know that was a thing!! Also, BMW is on Netflix, I believe.
What? Shut your pretty little face, really? I’ve been waiting for this.

So I’ve been cleaning most of the day and, luckily there has been a boy meets world marathon on to get me through. Anyway, I’m vacuuming my room just wondering to myself, “gee, self, I really wish they’d show that scary episode of Boy Meets World where Shawn kills everyone because he can’t cope with Cory and Topanga being broken up.

This is the dullest thing I've put in writing.
so I’ve been very much obsessed with jack black lip balm for like I don’t know- years? I’ve been through easily 100 tubes. Anyway I just read something about how you shouldn’t use lip products with SPF for whichever reason and anyway I decided to find a new everyday lip balm. And by decided I mean my lips were about to shrivel up and fall off my face.
ANYWAY I found this...

Just keep scrolling.
I just spent 90 minutes (6 Phineas and Ferbs) organizing all my copied music. It was all mishmashed into a moving box. Now it’s filed away like profession, human, singer person. So that’s nice. I mean, really? I could probably throw it away. BUT someday SOMEONE might want to hear the 3rd of Ravel’s 5 Greek Songs (the best one) and I would be set.
Also I have literally 8 copies...

I’m basically a walking snot bubble today.
Obviously I’m totally conquering the social world around m. People are lining up to know me.
Also I had to walk my moms dog and sometimes durings these walks the Bonz and I have to have little heart to hearts because she is an utter asshole and I like to look her in the eye when I threaten to turn her loose. Anyway today I bent down to...
I'm just griping. Ok?
I’m sure you’ve postponed all activity until you hear what I decided RE: my sandwhich.
I didn’t even try it. I opened my backpack to get my water out and the smell was so dreadful I left school.
This has been a really annoying day. Like nothing bad has actually happened. The weather is nice, I was prepared for the day, I like my outfit- all the things usually conspiring...

I just decided- I’m about to eat my lunch and if I don’t like my sandwhich I don’t have to stay for my 330 class. I can go home, locate my wallet an grill me up some cheese. If I like it?
I’m betting I won’t like it.

Also I unwisely pack chicken salad in my lunch (I don’t even like the stuff) and now I’m That Kid.
And every part of my head itches. I swear even my brain is itchy. Also, Id rather don’t discuss the moisture issue.

I, a grown ass lady, nearly pissed my pants this morning. Why? Because it took me an hour and a half to get to school. An hour and a half! It is at most a 40 min drive.
People in cars are the worst. Well, second only to people on bicycles.
Anyway I’m late for my first class which I usually fall asleep during anyway and I’m also in the middle of an allergy crisis (seriously? I had...

I was cleaning my bathroom this weekend and I was going through all the bottles of suds in my shower (I’m a shower bottle hoarder) and I have grapefruit scented face soap, TWO grapefruit scented body washes and on my counter? Grapefruit scented handsoap.
What I’m saying is, I’d like to live in a giant grapefruit and eat my way out.

So I was originally signed up for this class this summer and I was a little stoked because my stupidly cute former ear anatomy teacher (I talk about him enough, we’ll just call him Gary.) was teaching it. I was also a little bummed because it went right through my family’s vacation but it only meets twice a week so I was going to go to the Monday class and then skip the Wednesday.

For whatever reason, in my head, showering before bed is the ultimate luxury. I don’t know why. There is nothing in this earth stopping me from showering really at anytime of the day. I just save night showers for special nights. Nights made special by the shower. Whatever. This is stupid but I’m clean and I have clean sheets. And I’m feeling good.
