The Grass May be Greener...But I Don't Care!

Of course I'm ecstatic that my brother got married. I am NOT ecstatic about the sympathetic looks I was getting all night long at the reception.

What the heck is it with Mormons that make them think that just because you're aren't married you must be miserable??

I began to count how many people told me that I would be next, but quickly gave up after 12. I got everything from sympathetic head nods followed up with the patronizing tones of "How are you?" to a full 10-minute "pep talk" from a guy who, quite frankly, gives me the creeps.

I never seem to notice that I'm single until someone points it out for me. And then, when they do, they make me feel like I'm doing something wrong. I don't get it; if I'm okay being single, why does it matter to everyone else?!?! I can almost understand why my parents want me to get married, or at least date someone, but to the creepers at the weddings who feel it is their obligation to "cheer up" the poor, single people: STOP IT.

Honestly, on those rare days that I actually do notice that I'm single and should probably care a bit more about that fact, the last thing I want is someone to point it out and then try to cheer me up about it.

It will happen when it happens people. Until then, LEAVE. ME. ALONE.

Things that induce laughter/smiles/happy feelings in me today:

1. I love having bookshelves. More especially, I love having FULL bookshelves.
2. I have really cute nieces.

3. I got 2 whole days off of work.

4. Cute new blue shoes!

I Have a New Sister-in-Law

Jereme got married on 20 November!!

It's been crazy having all of my family here and trying to juggle seeing everyone and working and trying to squeeze in time to see Nicole while she was here (didn't really work...).

The wedding was great! They were married in the San Diego temple and it was RAINING on Saturday!! Christy and Jereme were troopers through the rain and were all smiles. Right after they got out of the temple we all headed back up to LA for the reception, which was GORGEOUS!

You know I love my brother because I was DANCING. IN PUBLIC!!

I'm so glad that Jereme and Christy picked each other. She's amazing and I'm grateful that she is my newest sister.

Things that induce laughter/smiles/happy feelings in me today:

1. Having all of my family here (minus my brother-in-law, Dan). We missed you Dan!!

2. Bonuses from work.

3. Staring at my computer screen for around 7 minutes, trying to think of the third thing to put on this list since I decided I would always have at least 3 things.

Geeking Out

I had to post about this because it basically made my day.

As you should all know by now, I'm a MASSIVE Dr. Who fan. I am especially fond of the current Doctor, Matt Smith. He's dreamy - see??

I even bought myself a t-shirt fromThinkGeek.com that has a picture of the TARDIS and says, "You never forget your first doctor".

For those of you who don't know (and you'll need this bit of background for the story, I'm not just being a geek...) Dr. Who is in the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest running SciFi TV show in the world. It's got to be the biggest thing to come out England aside from The Beatles. Because the show has been on since the '60s and the storyline follows one Time Lord known as the Doctor, there are several men who have played the Doctor - 11, to be exact. Hence why my shirt rocks.

So yesterday, I'm running errands with my mom and Christy, totally rocking my Dr. Who shirt, and we end up in the Disney store. I got distracted by a Tinkerbell t-shirt and as I was digging for my size, one of the employees came up to me and said, "I really like your shirt." I kind of thought she meant the one that I was holding, but she followed up with, "Who is your first doctor?" We then started a discussion about our favorite Doctors. Hers was 10. Mine is 11. 10 is my second favorite and I absolute hate 9. It's a good thing 9 was only the Doctor for one season. She agreed.

I love geeking out like that!!

Things that induce laughter/smiles/happy feelings in me today:

1. All those fictional men that I love: The Doctor, Ian, Ron Weasley, Edward Rochester, Sean, Sirius Black, Severus Snape, Jace Herondale, Amon Byrne, and Po just to name a few.

2. All the real men that I love: my brothers, my dad, Bryce Fisher, Married Boyfriend, Elliot, Matt Smith, and Alan Rickman.

3. Speaking of geeking out, last night we had a work function for my department at my boss' house. Everyone (save John and I) got mildly drunk and, instead of putting in a movie like we had originally planned, we played Trivial Pursuit. Yep, we're nerds.

4. Josh, Karissa, Ashley, Hannah, and Rachel all come next week!!

5. Christy is FINALLY going to officially become part of my family on Saturday!!!

6. I got an answer to something I've been struggling with for quite some time and luckily it's the answer I was expecting. But it's really hard to work with...

7. I have my next big purchase decided - it just needs tweaking...
