So blog posts stress me out. I often think of posting, but what should I say and how should I say it? I worry about what people will think about me based on my posts. If I write about something awesome that happened then I feel like I'm bragging. If I complain about something yucky that happened, well, then I'm feeling sorry for myself. You see, my basic insecurities are causing problems. Today though, I guess I just don't care. I've been feeling sorry for myself for a solid two weeks and it is time to have a little happiness. This post is about me and some of the things I really love.
Diet Coke- It has been a faithful friend through the best and the worst of the last 12 years. I will not forsake it. My preferred form is in the following order: #1 fountain, #2 can, and bottle if necessary. If Diet Pepsi is my choice, I'll have water.
Snooze I love those 20 minutes between when I wake up and when I get out of bed.
The rainbows the little crystal in my window makes in the afternoons. It reminds me of Jeff's grandma's kitchen.
Mile 9 of a half marathon. It is the time when the nerves are over and I feel strong. I know I can finish and I'm proud of my body.
Trashy bee-bob music. Pretty much if it should be played in a club somewhere, I love it. Jeff refers to my ipod as, "A trip to hell". This is what I get for marrying a musician ;)
A clean house. This happens rarely and lasts only minutes, but those minutes are awesome.
Phone calls/visits. I love when friends call or stop in. It completely lifts every part of my soul.
Little boy smell. Yes, it is sweaty and gross and I love it more than about anything.
Reality TV.Teen Mom, Housewives of Anywhere, Hoarders, Intervention... I love them all.
Iphone. I was so mad when Jeff bought it. What waste of money! I would now sell my blood to earn money to keep that stupid phone.
Gas Range. How did I live without this? Oh yeah, I swore a lot more when I cooked.
Lilacs. Bushes will be planted this spring.
When Jeff walks in the door. The kids run screaming "daddy, daddy, daddy". At that moment, the clouds of the day lift and everything is just a little bit better.
My sister. She understands me. More importantly, she tells me when I'm being ridiculous...and I know she is right.
Treat Runs. I love loading the kids in the car and heading out for a treat. Spike gets "sluss" aka slush and Carter and Jeff share a chocolate cookie dough shake. I rock the diet fresh lime. Thank you Dairy Keen.
Nap Time. I love that hour (or two) in the afternoon when I just snuggle and play with Carter while Spike sleeps. I'll miss it when he's in school.
Sunny winter days. I love the blue sky, white mountain days of Utah. The world seems so fresh and new.
That's it for now.

If people judge you for your feelings on YOUR blog they can be XXXXXXX'd! I love when you blog.
I need to find a window to put a crystal in...I don't have a kitchen window :(
You and I are M2B with the trashy TV and trashy music! Jeff doesn't know what he's missing haha
And of course AMEN to pretty much everything else you said! I knew I liked you for a reason!
I seriously love you and all your posts. So brag away and feel bad away I love it all. :)
You can brag and you can feel sorry for yourself! Makes the rest of us feel normal. That's pretty much all I do these days!
Loved the post. :) You make me smile.
Audry, You are amazingly real and hilarious and it shines through on your blog. I heart you and your blog!
You know Audrey, you are my kid. You tell it like it is. You are the best Mom I have ever seen and old Jeff aint bad either. You are producing to fine boys that will have a significant impact on their world. I am so proud of you and what you have accomplished. If you think you have demons. just look at your old man. I love you all Audrey, Zoiee included.
Those are good favorite things!
I say post when you feel great and post when you aren't! (That is what I do!) Don't care what people think just get it out. And I love the diet coke thing. I am so the same. Especially when it comes to Diet Pepsi (yucky)! I love you and love your posts! You are wonderful!
Ha! I feel the EXACT same way but with Diet Pepsi. I am not too proud to say, but I will admit, that McDonalds Diet Coke is amazing but it might just be because of the fat straw. Fat straws change everything. Ty is always telling me to quit drinking pop, that all my "ailments" are from it. I've quit too damn many things already. I am not leaving my pop!
And I had to laugh out loud that Jeff thinks your Ipod is the "trip to hell" HA!!!!
I love this post Audrey, I have been a blog slacker for a while now and needed this boost to get posting again. You are amazing! Not one thing wrong with you, we need to catch up sometime. Please keep bragging or complaining all you need to. :)
Audrey you have always been one of the things I love!! Thanks for being a great cousin!! Trash TV is the ultimate best thing ever. I personally love "Dog the Bounty Hunter" Jarred has started calling me Baby Leesa! Housewives of anywhere is also a fav. You have always been an example to me. Thanks Otter!!
