Under the Weather

   One thing that people should know about me, I am a terrible sick person.  I tend to be reclusive but I want people to automatically know that something is wrong and show up at my door with jello cups, popsicles and hot pineapple juice.  I would never actually ask for help and when I do that means the situation is usually dire.  Also another fact I ALWAYS assume the worst when I am sick, like I currently have a sinus infection which caused a double ear infection, but before I actually saw the doctor I had self diagnosed myself with a brain tumor that was sitting on my optical nerve which accounted for the headaches, blurry vision and nausea. Let me give a piece of advice to my fellow hypochondriacs (Mom) WebMD is NOT your friend, because that website only confirmed my brain tumor theory and sent me into a slight panic attack and made me send a mass text to friends and family that I did in fact have a brain tumor, which in turn made them say" no you don't Caity" then I in my typical smart ass fashion tell them " When I  die of a brain tumor I want me headstone to say I told you so" .   I don't know what I am trying to accomplish with this post.... maybe I am just bored because I am laying on my couch watching Swamp People (awesome show btw) and I can literally feel my head throbbing and all I want is a big hug from a certain someone and maybe rest my fevered head on his shoulder. I am even willing to sacrifice my dignity and let him see me at my absolute worst to get what I want. 

correction

the last post I said " me and my other three siblings" yea I meant other two siblings. It was late I wasn't thinking clearly.

hold the phone!!

Remember many moons ago when I said I had taken up a new hobby and it was quilting??? Well I am happy to report that not only did I finish my first ever quilt and give it to my Mom for her birthday in June, I managed to make her cry too. Anyone who knows me and my siblings the goal when we give our Mom a present is to see who can make her cry... my sister Melita always busts out the big guns with the practical gift like sheets, new silverware etc... but me and the other three get as cheesy as possible.

Family trip

Well another year and another successful family trip to the Frio has come and gone! Oh how I love my loud, funny, slightly crude and loving family! Nothing fills my heart with such joy and contentment as being in the great state of Texas surrounded by the people I love most in this world. I love the 6 hour road trip to the cabin with my Mom, so many life lessons learned, words of wisdom passed on and precious memories made with that wonderful woman. Seeing my brother Beau and still looking up at him like I did when I was 5 and was his ever present shadow. Sharing secrets under the stars with my oldest friend Deseree and my big sister Elsie. Seeing my oldest sister and my closest confidant Melita, with my precious nephew growing in her belly. He will no doubt be the most spoiled child on the face of the planet. Cooking, cleaning and caring for my family (it's my fave)! Closing the chapter in my life of my first unrequited love.( that's a long story) Blue Bell Ice Cream, Whataburger, Taco Cabana, Pluckers and BBQ. Being with my fantastic cousins and aunts and uncle. Growing closer as a family carrying on the tradition of the family trip to the Frio River. My cup runneth over.

  

my awesome family minus two party poopers who left early.          

Whoops.

I promise I have not fallen off the face of the earth. Just been a wee bit distracted with life, love and work. So much to say and I don't know where to start.

I have the most amazing group of friends a girl could ask for. They have each blessed my life in so many ways and without them being my voice of reason who knows what kind of pickles I would have gotten myself into. They keep me grounded but still manage to let me float in the clouds and daydream a lot of the time, but let's face it anyone who knows me knows that I will always find a way to do that. I am good at daydreaming. Fact.

Surprise Surprise, I have a new love interest. I am pretty sure he doesn't know I like him or maybe considering the fact that I am about as subtle as a gun he probably has a vague inclination. (and yes I partially stole that line from a movie.. but hey if the shoe fits)

   I don't get why things have to be so complicated, as single men and women I do not understand why we have to do this dance around each other about playing that proverbial "game". I am not a patient person and typically I live by the philosophy that I want what I want when I want it. And me learning the "game" is like someone with two left feet attempting to learn the Argentine Tango it ain't happening people. Why if you like someone is just so hard to say "hey I like you and I think you like me lets go out sometime" NOT that complicated.

All my ranting and raving aside. This guy is fantastic ( that may sound biased but ask anyone who knows him and they will say the same thing). Smart, humble, funny, full of life, caring, compassionate, has a laugh that makes my heart skip a beat, when I am around him it is so comfortable and just easy to be near him like I have known him my whole life. He is just freaking awesome. I could go on and on and on about all the things that I like about this guy but for the sake of not coming across as a crazy person I will stop there. Heaven help me if he ever reads this. I am crossing my fingers that he doesn't pay attention when I update my Facebook to tell people to read my blog. That would be bad news bears.

On a non boy related note!!! (this rarely happens) I have finally transferred out of the barren wasteland that is the FedexOffice of Spanish Fork, UT to the freakishly busy but always full of attractive men to look at Provo location! ( I lied there was a mention of men)  Not only is this new store a good growing and learning opportunity for me, but it is literally a one minute drive from my house as opposed to the 30 mile round trip commute to Spanish Fork!!! yay for me!!!!
