Avoidance

Hello! Look at me! I'm writing my blog on a Monday! What an amazing person I am! I've come so far! Sniff sniff. Sigh. Well, I'm writing this because I don't have anything else to do right now and I've already thought of a topic for once and I'm going to be in San Francisco this weekend, so let's get to the point. Last Saturday afternoon I was shopping at Costco with my mom. It was really crowded so I should have been on my guard, looking for people I knew, but I had just finished working at the library so my mind was elsewhere and my ability to focus was at its weekly low. We were just walking along the main isle by the food section when I heard this, "Hey Kathryn!" and I about jumped out of my pants cuz I wasn't ready for it. It was some people from my ward. So I grudgingly said hi to them and continued on my way, scolding myself for not being more alert. So we kept walking and I just started staring blankly straight ahead at some random girl a little ways in front of me because I was in shock that I had just seen someone in Orem whom I should only see in Provo(my ward is in Provo). But then I realized that I was staring at someone and then I thought, "wait a second! That girl's face looks familiar! Oh my gosh! That's ___( name edited out for protection of the avoider)!!"Some friend of my brother's from high school that I must avoid at all costs( I avoid everyone at all costs but especially my brother's friends because they're old and scary and intimidating and talk too much). So I immediately veered off into the frozen foods section and ran for my life. I look back on it now and I think it was kind of mean...but I really don't care...but ....well it was mean. I'm pretty sure she saw me cuz I was staring blankly at her for a couple of seconds in shock, but... well it's over now and I saved my life probably by avoiding her. So why in the world do I avoid people? I seriously always avoid anyone that I see at stores and stuff whether they're from school, work, church or even if they're like my best friends. What's wrong with me? I'm so scared of people!! Well I guess you could just end this blog by saying....um... Avoidance is necessary. It saves us from awkward situations... Sure...but it also makes us feel a little guilty...but oh well I'd rather feel guilty then be scared to death by seeing someone I know somewhere. I guess I'm just weird like that.

Tubes of Toothpaste

Happy mother's day! Mom's are really amazing! It's too bad we only celebrate mother's day once a year, because mom's deserve a lot more credit more often than we give them. I spoke in church today (or at least tried to speak...I talk extremly fast when I'm nervous and I sounded like a bumble bee) about the influence of mothers, so for once I actually had to make myself think about the importance of mothers. I got blown away by how awesome they are and how much they do for us. I'm so ignorant and self-centered that I never realized just how great they are. All that stuff you hear about the roll of mother being the greatest and divinest calling...soo true! Sometimes I find myself being a little selfish and not so appreciative of my mom. What an idiot I am. My mom has raised eight great kids, no wait seven great kids, (the last one of them isn't so great) I think she probably knows what she's doing. Well...um... now I've lost my bus(why do we always say train) of thought... oh!...Um... I read this saying in church that I'm not so sure was appropriate for sacrament meeting, you can tell me what you think, but I liked it so I said it anyway,"A mother's patience is like a tube of toothpaste. It never quite runs out."It's a good thing my mom's patient otherwise I'd never get up in the mornings...um.. (why did I say that?)... Uh... so yeah mother's are amazing.... Well, I was going to say somethingelse but I got too carried away thinking about my own mom and I forgot it so... I guess I'll just end with that...Mothers are amazing!

Pin-striped Suits

I don't really want to write this blog because it's almost summer and it's starting, did I say starting? Ending to get on my nerves. So today I will answer that all too famous question of,"How do you feel about pin-stripped suits?"
Now I don't want to offend any one because I know this can be a very sensitive topic for some people, but me? I feel that pin-striped suits are, well, pin-striped and very sharp looking. Wether I perfer them to plain suits? I'd probably say yes I like them better than plain suits, but tuxs are probably better than both because they're so formal. I also think pin-striped suits go well with alligator shoes. Why? Because... well maybe I like that zoot-suit sort of looking thing. Yes pin-striped suits are amazing.
