to disturb, vex, or irritate:

Have you ever been told,

"You don't seem like the type to listen to talk radio."

Because (as of twenty minutes ago) I have

Even though I'm not sure what that means exactly

...I think I hate it.

That's all.

Actual conversation we had this week:

J: I am taking my pants off for the night!
S: Nice. I took mine off the second I walked in the door.
J: I hate jeans. That is why I hardly wear them.
S: I know. They aren't comfortable.
J: They are so hard to drive in. (Yeah I am not sure what this means either)
S: Sweats are definitely better.


And it is true.
Jeans aren't cool.
But sweats are and leggings too.
Leggings are the best thing ever.
Can we please all agree to always let them be in style?
I am not willing to give them up.
Also, if I have to like jeans...I choose skinny jeans.
But have you heard what
Is suppose to take the place of the skinny jean?

pet.peeve.

a particular and often continual annoyance;

 personal bugbear

You know the type of person I am about to describe

And I am willing to bet they drive you crazy too

These people are soo much better than you

So "in the know"
They want to be "different"
But they are dying to move to places
Where everyone thinks just like them
Where they are all just copies of each other

They love coffee shops

Or hate them.

Because they hate everyone and everything.

But don't worry--they are extremely open minded.
And organic

They wear scarfs--year round

They take ugly clothing and make it cool

by calling it vintage.

They love art, music, and anything you don't.

Here. I found some memes that I feel

Capture the essence of the annoying, emo, hipster

(than rather....I didn't write these)

Found on memegenerator.net

 

I like people who are genuine, caring, and...actually interesting

People who are themselves--no matter what

Not people who are trying to mold themselves into a "type"

My closest friends are all beautifully different and guess what?

They are my favorite people to talk to/listen to/be around

And

They don't even have to try

Thanks for letting me get that off my chest

steam·er.

The mixture of milk and flavoring; warmed + froth.

Delight.

Last winter the Farley family introduced me

To homemade steamers

I have always loved steamers

Even though I only experienced them

 when I could talk someone into hopping in the car--

usually in the wee hours of the morning,

 to head down to Common Cents

Once we got there, it was a 50/50 chance their machine would

be on and functioning

The steamers would always be more HOT than flavorful

But I never complained

I'd just wait for my taste buds to bounce back

And then I would work on convincing

 someone (Kellie) into giving Common Cents another go

But with the help of the Farleys,

My world transformed

 I was able to count on having a steamer--nightly

And that is precisely how often I treated myself

Consistently

Until I had polished off each of their flavorings,

Every last steamer cup,

 and milk (on more than one occasion)

I literally brought a gallon of milk to their house because

I felt so awful about my terrible obsession

Of course they never said anything

They have always treated me like family

And so, I guess...I maybe got a little too comfortable

For my birthday a few months back,

Guess what my in-laws gave me?

(along with sickening amounts of other gifts)

That is right.

Steamer stuff.

They also had to restock their supply

(sorry)

I got five bottles of flavoring

And this is fancy, mail-ordered, top-of-the-line flavoring

I don't know if I was more excited or embarrassed

When I opened that gift

But the truth is, we just barely busted out

Our steamer-maker the other night

Here at home

And I remembered the bliss that accompanies

the steaming hot, but now not too hot, flavored milk

And you can put your money on me making

steamers nightly, once again

We tried gingerbread--

It didn't disappoint

hers                    +                     his

Steamers + Home + Husband + The Office + Pajamas

My favorite date night

EVER.

PS I love winter

con·fes·sion.

a formal, usually written, acknowledgment

 of guilt by a person accused of a crime.

something bad happened yesterday.
i did something awful
truly terrible
and so, i come to my blog to confess
in hopes that once i get it off my chest...i can feel better
because i really want to feel like me again
brace yourself, becasue
here it goes...


yesterday, i.....
....i listened to country music
i know.
really. i do.
this goes against everything i believe in.
but you have to trust me,
it wasn't just any country music--
it was garth brooks
i rediscovered him yesterday
and i found out that i know all of the words
to all of his songs
and i danced.
i danced and sang to country music.
and the worst part?
i kind of liked it.
so....i can't promise that it won't happen again
don't worry. i still claim (with a fiery conviction)
that i hate country music
but... 
there is always one exception to the rule

right?

Hop on a snowmobile in freezing temperatures

(I am talking sixteen below zero)

Ride for around 20 minutes, with the bitter wind in your face...

You will find yourself

At the most perfect place to ring in the new year

The cabin

And it will be worth all of your effort

No cell phones, No Internet

Just...

Relaxation

And that is exactly what we did

Now Josh and I can start off 2011

Fully recharged

The view from our deck--which is buried under four feet of snow

Yes. It really was THAT cold.

And my husband really is 23.

I promise.

I hope/think/pray

 great things are in store for us this year...

I'll keep you updated
