New Stuff

I've been posting a lot of "serious stuff" lately so thought I'd post some lighter stuff before I delve back into deeper matters.

First of all, Austin and I bought new couches! I got a bonus from work and we decided to use the money to get new furniture. So hello new couch and loveseat. Love, love, love them. I'd post pics but unfortunately my camera is broken. Does anyone know where I can get a Canon camera fixed? I haven't been able to take any pictures since Morgan's birthday, which means I'm missing many potential photo opportunities.

See here and here for online stock pictures of the couches. They look better in person.

Anyway, the couches are awesome. We looked all over the place, sitting in just about every couch in Utah County. Finally we found a sofa set (sofa + loveseat) at a place called I.M. Home in Provo. The couches are chocolate brown (so dark they're almost black but not) and I think faux leather but parts of them feel real. They're soft and incredibly comfortable. And did I mention they recline? I'm so happy to finally have a conversation area in my home. Now we don't have to have people sit on the floor or all in a row on the couch. We also got a new area rug which I also love. My house is finally starting to come together. Just give me another year and I'll finally have it the way I want it. And then we can have a house warming party. Two years after moving in isn't too late, is it?

I love the couches too, glad you love them as much as I do. We'll have it done someday, just look at it as ways to always improve. If we had the place looking the way you wanted when we first moved in, how boring would that be?

love you, and for the record, you are loved for the "serious" stuff such as PPD as much as you are loved for the "lighter stuff" such as leather couches.

basically, you are loved long time.

Of course you guys only get these after we've moved 6,000 miles away. Whose couch am I supposed to crash on after Wendy kicks me out now?

It's cute that you think we'd let you crash anyway, whether or not you're here.

Predictions dictate we're gonna side with Wendy, so you better make sure she doesn't ever kick you out.

Thanks for the support, Austin. Couches look super comfy. Take a good sit in them for us, will you? And we are only 3 thousand miles away, not 6.

Can't wait to see pics of the house. Check out online for Canon fixes. Def go to the store where you bought it, check your warranty. You never know if they might be able to just replace the whole camera! Do some research and look around. You are def missing photo opportunities, so don't put it off!!

No it's totally not too late, I have been waiting for you to throw one! Maybe you can turn it into a Halloween Party ;)

We got couches from my work bonus as well. You will have to come see them!

Apple Taste Test 2013

Image
Several years ago Austin and I bought several kinds of gummy bears in an attempt to discover which gummy bears were the best. We rated them in different categories, and it was a lot of fun. I’ve been wanting to do something like that again. And then this weekend, the perfect opportunity presented itself. We were at Sprouts shopping, and they had a wide assortment of apples on sale for $0.88/lb. This was too good to pass up. So I went crazy and bought 14 varieties of apples. Most we only bought 1 or 2 apples, but some we bought more. (We bought 10 Ambrosia apples because they’re awesome and they’re not widely available.) I wanted this to be the ultimate apple taste test. So, today we cut up and prepared the apples. We put them on paper plates and divided them up and labeled them. In retrospect, I wish we had taken pictures of the whole process. (Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda.) We then decided on categories; we rated the apples on Overall Taste, Juiciness, Sweetness, Tartness, and Har...

Anxiety

I meant to post an update after Sunday's very depressing post. I'm actually doing okay. I wasn't at that moment, obvs. I was in the midst of an anxiety attack that day. Anxiety attacks suck. I have a lot on my plate right now, which leads to stress. Stress plus my genetically-prone-to anxiety-self = breakdown and anxiety attacks. I don't want people to think that I'm feeling like that all the time. I'm not. In general, I'm doing very well. I am happy and content a lot of the time. I have an awesome husband and wonderfully supportive friends. I just happen to be dealing with a lot of stress right now. Stress that will hopefully decrease come April when Austin finally, finally graduates. I just snapped on Sunday because I became overwhelmed with everything. My house was extremely messy, and I just couldn't take it anymore. I screamed at Austin. I threw things. I hide in my room like an ashamed child. I cried, I vented by writing the depressive post, and ...

Untitled

I am tired. So very tired. I cannot handle the tedium of life. The inescapableness of it all. Every day. The same thing, the same drudgery, the same trying to keep to get it together. It's just too much. Too MUCH. Cannot handle it. The weight, the pressure. I have snapped. Lost it. Yelling for a cathartic release. Fear. Pressure. Too much. Too much. TOO MUCH! Cannot take it anymore. I cry because I can't do it anymore. Cannot do it. Make it stop! Give my life order. Give my life sustainability. I fail at life. I am a failure. A failure. A failure. A failure. A failure. A failure. A failure. A failure. A failure. A failure. A failure. A failure. Empty tears. Empty life. Blinking cursor. Broken. I am broken. Empty and broken. Responsible for everything and nothing. The end no periods nothing. gone. broken. help?
