100 Reasons Why...

So this is my one hundredth blog post, woot for me! I'm a nerd that blogs instead of doing anything productive with life. So today I am writing the ultimate list.

100 Reasons Why Life is Pretty Ok ;)(in no particular order)

100. Eating Chicken Salad Sandwiches :)
99. Making Chicken Salad Sandwiches
98. Playing pirates and having my nephews say "AYE AYE CAPTAIN!" to everything I say.
97. Home.
96. Friends.
95. Roommates that decorate the apartment, keeping it festive and awesome.
94. Roommates period.
93. E-mails from Missionary Mindy, her love of life and service.
92. Birthday packages! Even if they're sent late...
91. The Office.
90. Sunshine.
89. The leaves, the color, the crunchy crispiness of each gold and red leaf.
88. Hiccuping, sometimes its fun. And for some reason it makes me think of babies.
87. Breakfast.
86. Lunch.
85. Dinner.
84. Eating.
83. The fact that my roommate buys ice cream and then insists that everyone eat some of it.
82. My niece, Jayna Nayna.
81. My nephew Logan, and how he can talk your ear off no matter what.
80. Lucas, how he laughs can make me smile anytime, anywhere, and has even made me cry cause I was so happy.
79. Jake and the fact that he finally remembers that I'm Aunt Megan, not Mindy.
78. Cohen and his amazing ability to light up the whole room with a smile, or just sticking out his tongue.
77. Flying to Texas.
76. The fact that it's going to be 37 degrees in Logan, Utah on Saturday and 82 degrees in Texas on the very same day.
75. A sink full of dirty dishes magically turning into cupboards full of clean dishes.
74. Chocolate + Popcorn + Gilmore Girls + Rainy Day.
73. Cary Judd and his mellow, let's take a nap kind of music.
72. A dad that texts me every morning counting down the days till I land in Texas.
71. A mom that wants to drive me to the airport instead of having me parking in the car park.
70. Sisters that cut and color my hair for free.99!
69. Friends that give you 30% off coupons at Old Navy.
68. Institute, even when you don't feel like going.
67. Prospects of being on a beach the day after tomorrow in chacos and a swim suit.
66. Getting homework done early.
65. Watching movies in classes.
64. Guest speakers in classes (that you're not going to be tested on).
63. Snow (except for driving in it...)
62. Things that are distracting enough that you can only think about that one thing, aka Texas.
61. Good music.
60. A new genre of music.
59. Jack Johnson.
58. Country music.
57. Coming home to hear Sallie in the bathroom, music blaring, and her singing along. As much as she thinks I think it's annoying, it's really endearing to me and I like it.
56. Friends that inquire about your physical, emotional, and spiritual well being without missing a beat.
55. Pell Grants!
54. iPods, even if you only have the old school shuffle that looks like a stick of gum.
53. A not broken phone that can send and receive picture messages.
52. Taking and sending a picture of a huge leaf blower on campus that looks like something straight out of a Dr. Suess book.
51. Dr. Suess, we should all read a little bit more of his books. The world would be a better place.
50. Speaking of good books, The Book of Mormon.
49. Which inevitably leads me to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and its truthfulness.
48. The fact that whether you think you can or you think you can't you're right.
47. The movie UP! If you have not seen this movie, you must go rent it. Now.
46. "I hid under your porch because I love you" and various other one liners from the aforementioned movie. "SQUIRREL!"
45. Being six years old makes many situations much better.
44. Awkwardness. If you lack it, you can come borrow some of mine. I've got it in Reams, Leagues, Miles, Yards... needless to say I've got an abundance of awkward.
43. Conversations about my awkwardness. Not how to cure it or anything, just how it pervades into everyone's life that I come into contact with.
42. "Seinfeld" conversations.
41. Seinfeld period.
40. Christian Dallen Irie Carnley and his love of Seinfeld.
39. Missionaries in general.
38. Texas, which I may have already mentioned...
37. English Professors. I have yet to go to a class where they either act something out or choose some sort of outrageous voice to portray a character better. It's like going to improve three times a week.
36. Working on this list for about a month and finally deciding to finish it today.
35. Sleep. Sometimes you just need to go to bed.
34. The last couple days I've had an overdose of caffeine and I can't decide if I like it or not, but it can go on the list. Caffeine.
33. youtube, pandora, facebook, blogspot, and other various deviants from homework.
32. Memories, the roses in the December of our lives.
31. Getting slightly sick from popcorn slathered in chocolate.
30. Space heaters.
29. Blankets.
28. Pillows.
27. Pink shorts to wear in Texas!
26. Accomplishing goals (such as this blogpost).
25. Disk chairs, they're very comfortable.
24. Pictures! Looking at them or taking them.
23. Showers, especially after you've worn a hat all day.
22. Sweats and hoodies.
21. Socks!
20. Not being an engineer.
19. Dinner group. Meeting new people, practicing making food, and sometimes failing at making food.
18. Learning. Whether that's from school, or life, learning is good. Even if it might be forced upon you.
17. Having the conviction to want to have a life of adventure, again referencing Up. So really, you need to see this movie.
16. Chapstick.
15. Lotion.
14. Somewhere Only We Know by Keane.
13. Eating ham and cheese for lunch for about a week.
12. Pretending to do homework, while actually writing a blog. You get less dirty looks in the library if you're typing furiously and not on facebook.
11. Being a girl, which means sappy songs, chocolate, naps, tears, and confusion.
10. Basically anything sappy.
9. New music, instead of the twelve cd's in my car that I've listened to ten thousand times over hundreds of miles.
8. Having a computer, I like it.
7. Coming up with reasons why today is pretty ok is a good way to take a positive outlook on life.
6. Eating chocolate is also a good way to take a positive outlook on everything else.
5. Piano music, no matter what it gets me and I love it.
4. Singing, I should probably do that more often, but when I do I love it.
3. Having bus buddies to ride the bus with in the morning. It makes the bus even more enjoyable- because I already love the bus.
2. The cute pictures all over my apartment.
1. There should be something great here for number one, something that says it all in a nutshell... I got nothing. But today is a good day and I suppose I can attribute that to life. Woot for life!

I've recently decided...

that I don't want to be one of those blogger mom types. I dunno why, but I decided that today.

that I need to take a chill pill in every way. Whatever happens will happen for the best if I'm working for the best. So I'll just give it a rest (didn't mean to rhyme just then...)

that school is pretty nice when you're an English Major, not so much if you are an Engineer Major... or any other non liberal arts major.

that no matter what you think it looks like outside, its probably cold in Logan from October to May.

that getting frustrated doesn't help anything or anyone. It causes stress and is just obnoxious.

that ambush Mary Kay facials are not "SO much fun." You end up with an hour wasted, and blue eyeliner on your face and a bitter attitude towards the rest of the day.

that even though it's cold in Logan, I still really like it here.

that going home on Monday makes the week go by extremely fast, pretty great :)

that I post a lot of blogs that are completely useless, oops.
