Confessions of a Brunette on the Internet 257

So it is February and it is getting even warmer. We are up to 60 degrees now. So weird. Weirdest Winter ever. Don't get me wrong, I like it... but I also know we need the snow. Hopefully we get enough up in the mountains? Maybe Global Warming is a real thing.

So sometimes I go to Walmart (not very often) and sometimes I am surprised when I find cute stuff there. And sometimes the stuff is too cute to not buy it. Look how cute these little succulents are that have magnets on the back so you can put them on the fridge. What? Also I guess I'm really into mugs these days. I think they are cute, so whenever I see a cute one, I buy it.

I am still watching Parenthood. I am almost done with Season 4. I love it. I just love drama I guess.. but I also love that each of the families all have their hardships. Of course it is dramatized... but it's real problems. I love seeing how they get through it as a family and stick together. There are also a lot of really sweet and tender moments. When these moments happen you can sometimes see me crying in my office. No big deal.

So I have been dealing with a lot of crappy guys... I mean guys that are going out with me or talking to me just because they want some action. You know... this is why I have lost faith in men... that there are still good ones left out there. I still try to give guys the benefit of the doubt, but I get disappointed over and over again. It's tiring. Or maybe there is just no guy out there that thinks I'm worth more than trying to hook up with. Who knows. It's really disappointing though.

Speaking of disappointing guys, I still browse Tinder. It's more for entertainment than anything at this point. These days people have made accounts for lots of things. I think Mr. Compliments was one of the first, but I have now matched with Brownies and Grilled Cheese... this week I matched with Gaston (like the cartoon from Beauty and the Beast). He told me we should get married and have lots of lads like him. Then I matched with Charming. He asked me if I was his Tinderella. I doubt this sort of things happens outside of Utah.

Tonight I watched the Bachelor with my good friend Liz. I'm so glad we still hang out. I enjoy it. Plus the Bachelor is hilariously entertaining. I love laughing at it with others. I mean... it's so overly dramatic that it is funny. I also find myself checking out the girls and wanting their hair or love how they do their makeup or love what they are wearing. I do wonder if the girls are really so crazy or if they just edit it to make them see crazy. OR if they egg them on? I don't know... but it works. I'm entertained and I can't wait to see what happens next week.

Tuesday was the night everyone decided to stop by on the same night. I went to a birthday party, the home teachers came by which they never do and my friend Ellis wanted to hang out so we did... which it was fun to hang out and catch up with him and talk about traveling. Also Ian stopped by. It was the night to make visits I guess. I like it. Jonathan also stopped by Monday night to hang out in the Fort and he shared some of his German chocolate with me. Mmmmm... so good. Oh yeah... and I still haven't taken down the fort. I was going to tonight, but I think I will do it this weekend. It's just so cozy. I love it, but it is time for it to come down.... until June.

I'm so thankful for my Tech friend at work. He worked on my computer again. My laptop is still struggling but he is going to fix it, which I am so so so thankful for because I couldn't find anyone that knows how to work on Mac's and probably would have had to spend a lot of money to pay someone at Apple to fix it. Instead, Brock helped me backup my computer and showed me online what new battery and what new hard drive to buy and I bought them and when they come he is going to install them and we are going to wipe my computer clean and it will be like new with those new things. Much needed. Thank you Brock! You are the best!

I went to Institute (my stake Institute) for the first time in a LONG time. Probably like a year or something like that. I went for Jed. He is an amazing teacher. He knows how to make it fun AND learn from it. This is why everyone loves going to Jed's class. I guess that is all that has been going on this week. Just another week in the Life of Tracy.
