Did anyone wake up today and think "HOLY CRAP it's 2012 already???!!!!

Yeah, I didn't, but it did dawn on me after my usual morning drowsiness wore off.

Seriously this last year has FLOWN by... so I guess I need to, for my own sake, go through some of its highlights:

Getting a full-time JOB. Whoa. Seriously? I've been a legit grown up for a full year now? Someone send me to Never Never Land before it gets too out of hand...


Getting my braces off: One word--finally.


Getting a Lagoon season pass. Pretty sure if I keep doing this I'll never really grow up. Wherever I was there was usually a good 5-year age gap within a 50-foot radius. It was super fun... but I'm pretty sure I'm doing Seven Peaks this year. Gotta work on that killer tan (aka see how many more freckles I can get...).

Traveling: Vegas, Idaho, Arizona, Idaho, California, Idaho... well, I could work on this one a bit...

Met Jimmer: Okay, 2011 was definitely filled with a lot of Jimmer obsession. A big highlight was getting to go to the end-of-the-season basketball banquet, and meet Jimmer. It was... yeah. Amazing.


Zumba Instructor: After many years as a dedicated Zumba STUDENT, I have now become the instructor. I was already in love with/addicted to Zumba... and if it were possible... I am now even more so. 2012 is going to be a BIG Zumba year.


Back Injury Recovery: I had my first real injury in a while... but luckily I was able to recover quite quickly. Some people told me I might never dance again... but luckily I had already dedicated my life to dance and was able to come back.

Dedicated my life to dance: This really deserves its own section. After discovering Zumba, Just Dance 2 & 3, and Michael Jackson the Experience, I discovered my true calling in life. Dance. I even got to perform Thriller at our office talent show. It rocked.


Justin Bieber: This year has been full of JB. I saw Never Say Never in theaters (even got a few people to watch it who later became beliebers), became an official JB follower on Twitter (I may or may not have created a Twitter account for that purpose. Well, I also wanted to follow Jimmer...), requested his songs at every chance possible (unashamedly), and even dressed up as him for Halloween.




Emily's wedding: We were able to have a special reunion as the first of my closest friends from high school got married this year. It was a beautiful ceremony, and so awesome to reconnect with my BFFs.



11/11/11: Classiest/most epic party I have ever thrown. Anyone up for 12/12/12?
















Happy New Year!

thoughts

I should be in bed

CORRECTION: I am in bed. I should be asleep.

I have lots of thoughts. Always. One time, my roommate asked me if I would rather have my heart make a sound every time I felt twitterpated or have my brain make a sound every time I was thinking pretty hard.

It was a hard decision.

I think I'm finally adjusting. I think.

Isn't it nice to talk? People. I love people.

There is no substitute for. Real. Life. People.

Some thoughts

I love my food blog. It's so funny... every time I write a new post, I seriously read it... and reread it... and reread it... and stare at it... and stare at it some more. It sounds awfully narcissistic, but I suppose it's just like having a child. I bet some mothers just sit and stare at their children, amazed at what they've created. That's the beauty of creation.

Also... so I've been in an editor-type position for more than 6 months now. Something I've noticed is that it's one of those jobs where people don't notice when you do it right. It's sad. However, you do it wrong... and BAM! You are a crappy editor. Life is rough, I suppose.

But I still love it.

And if you find a spelling/punctuation/whatever error in my blog... just know I'm human too. And I speak real good (it's a joke people, A JOKE).

Last, but not least, I don't think I fit the normal stereotype of "editor." While I do cringe at the sight of a misplaced apostrophe, I will not correct anyone's speech. I think it is rude and unnecessary. I stand by the idea that if everyone spoke properly, the world would be kind of a boring place.

Seriously.

Random

You know what is an overused word? Random.

"No one tells us, girls who don't go on dates, that remembering can be almost as good as what actually happens."

"Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above"

"So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do;
you see I've forgotten, if they're green, or they're blue.
Anyway, the thing is, what I really mean...
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen."

"To love another person... is to see the face of God"

"Love doesn't hurt, so I know I'm not falling in love, I'm just falling to pieces."

"I'm through accepting limits, 'cause someone says they're so."

"Did I say something way too honest that made you run and hide, like a scared little boy?"

I wonder if any of this makes sense out of context. Enjoy.

Ugh.

SOoooo one thing I love about being single is that you get to hear a lot of theories about dating.

Seriously.

SO FUN.

But one thing I've heard is that boys are supposed to be really easy to understand.

(Don't look too much into it) they say.

I mean, I think I'm a fairly bright individual.

And I can't figure them boys out for the life of me.
