Oh, Monday.

You know when you've successfully made it through ten busy days of being home and then all of the sudden there is absolutely nothing to do? Yeah, I'm on day twelve.... and dying.

My Portland trip I was supposed to go on today had been canceled. So, it's in bed till 11am for me! And then breakfast. That's just about half my day, plus fifteen minutes. Crap. What am I going to do the rest of the day? And tomorrow? But I'll live, because I'm going back home (to Provo) on Wednesday.

But really, I love this place called Home. It's beautiful and green, so wet all the time, and it smells amazing. I get hugged constantly and don't have to sleep alone at nights, so I'm feeling all sorts of loved. Ya know, the physical touch love language is really getting satisfied here. But it's not very warm, and it's not very sunny, which are both things I kind of love. Well, not too much of them. But still, I love. Shoot, this is such a cool town. There is so much to do! But alas, there is no one to do them with. That's what's really killing me this time. Can't somebody just come and visit me so I can show you around the area? We'll hit up Seattle, Portland, Forks, Rialto Beach, Hoh Rainforest, and Vancouver? Yeah. Totes doable, and so fun. Yes, I did just say "totes". It's on of those days, okay? Annnnything to entertain me today goes!

Okay, let's talk about all the things that I like, shall we?

I really like it when guys bring me Ben and Jerry's Coffee Heath Bar Crunch ice cream. And yes, multiple guys in my life have done this. It's kind of a miracle, and I cry a little every time just because I'm so exquisitely happy.

I really like eating fried eggs and toast for breakfast. No, really. I really like it. Especially when the eggs are organic and free-range because then the eggs yolks are more of an orange color and the flavor is just a little deeper. And the toast I like is the Ezekiel brand, which is sprouted grains, and really disgusting and hard when it's not toasted. Give me butter and give me some fruit preserves, and I'm in heaven. Really, it is so tasty. My stomach is in stomach heaven right now.

I love...er, like... heavy rain on cold November days when I'm getting ready for the Thanksgiving/Birthday/Christmas season (which is my favorite of the whole year). It's best when I'm home alone (or I imagine it would be pretty awesome with a hubs), perfectly clean house, with a candle lit, pumpkin pie in the oven, and warm laundry fresh out of the dryer. It's a homemakers heaven, let me tell ya.

I'm kind of obsessed (see what I did there?) with going on walks on summer nights. It's the perfect hand-holding weather, and it's still warm! Unless you're walking till 4am, you're not going to get cold. It's awesome.

I like German chocolate. Like, a lot. I'd attribute about 40% of the weight I've gained since being home to the chocolate Ryan brought back from his trip to Germany in the past month. God bless Germany! (And God bless men who like a little extra luv on his women, amiright?)

I like sitting out on docks, or parked on boat ramps, in the harbor at night, especially when it's quiet. The lights from houses and sailboats shine all over the water, and the sound of the water gently lapping on the shore is outrageously soothing. Do it sometime, it's great.

I like sleeping in. I like waking up at 6am and going for a run or just lying in bed for a little bit, but sometimes sleeping in is just the only way to go. (Also something that could only possibly be better with a hubs around - just a guess.)

I like waking up to a clean kitchen. Don't go near me if I walk around groggy to a messy kitchen. It's bad. Baaaaaaad.


I love kissing. Yup, I went there. But let's be honest, who doesn't?


Okay, I'm bored of my own thoughts now. I'm going to go and make my day happen, whatever that means.

Ps. I didn't make the tour team. Yeah, a little bummed, but kind of excited to be free of the company and with a schedule open to explore just about anything I like. New chapters are kind of fun, right? I have no doubt that this is what's supposed to be happening. I've felt like I haven't been making much progress in dance/life for a while, and I think it's time for me to get my life going. I'll really definitely miss dancing and performing, but maybe I'll find somewhere else to do that later. Maybe I'll learn how to really tango (Argentine style), and I've already signed up for ballet....so dance isn't completely over. So for now, this is the plan. Watch out, world.
