25 Things about Me... or not

 I was going to post this/ type it up tomorrow but when I thought about it I realized that it probably would not have happened, like at all. So much to do, so little... Motivation.

Sad.

 

Anyways, here we go!

25 facts about me!

 

Wait. my Ipod is downstairs... so I can't take a cuter picture of my intro page thing... shoot.

Whelp, I guess y'all are going to still have to wait for that. I am sitting here trying to think of a rant and I can't. and that rhymed. Heh.

 

OH! I can tell you one fact about me! Ready?

Okay, I think REALLY REALLY fast. I know that if you know me you are probably laughing to yourself saying, "Bailey... you laugh at jokes like 5 minutes after the punch line is told"

A) shut up... and B) That isn't the fast that I am talking about.

 

Imagine saying something totally relevant to the topic of conversation. Okay now wait five minutes and Imagine saying something random. Now, over the five minutes you waited you thought of something else to think about, wading through multiple possibilities that somehow connect to each other.

That is exactly what happens in my head in about 3 seconds.

EX :You are talking about pizza, I comment on my favorite type of pizza and three seconds later I comment on how small wiener dogs are.

 

HOW DID THAT EVEN CROSS YOUR MIND?

I can tell you EXACTLY  how.

 

Pizza>Peperoni pizza>what is that even made out of?> Hot dogs>dogs dressed in hotdog costumes> Weiner dogs>Pretty much the low riders of dogs 

 

Yep, that is how it goes.

 Normally, in general conversation the path is longer. My closest friends have learned either to ask how I got it or even what my "mind path" was to get there... Or just ignore me. Normally the latter.

Yeah.

It probably would have been a better idea to type this in the morning. Now you know a fact you probably didn't want to know. You are very welcome.

Here is a picture of one of those dogs just for you.

So Cute.

So tired.

Obsessions.... Or Addictions

 

So I have been wanting to post but every time I get around to it I get distracted. And it is the distracted that lasts hours.

 

So here are a bunch of random things I have been wanting to show you.

 The Fairy Statuette I told you about... seriously it was just sitting in my closet wrapped in sweaters...

 

 This adorable card that I got from one of my preschool kiddos. I had the realization that they are now in kindergarten yesterday. It made me stop in the middle of the road while I was walking into Target...

 

 Look how blonde I was!!! This is my 3rd grade self.

 

 I was going to post something about how wonderful nature is and especially the sky and its largeness... yeah.

 

And a 25 fact thing, that I was going to post weeks ago amidst my project downsize chaos... did it happen?  Technically I wrote them all down but I never got to typing them.

 

Would you like to know what has stopped me? Not Pinterest, or Facebook, or YouTube or any other normal geek distraction.

Oh no.

 Blogs. I have become practically addicted to blogs.

 But not normal blogs.

Missionary blogs.

 Yup, I admit that I find them on Pinterest, but as soon as I do BAM I have to start from the beginning with their mission call or even before that. It has gotten to the point that I know their P-Day's and get excited because I know there is a new post.

 

Here are my favorites but BEWARE. I am telling you, I was normal ...once.

 

http://bellainberlin.blogspot.com/ -The start of it all. BEST stories ever!

http://hermanasilva.blogspot.com/ - Just found this one. Lots of smart teaching ideas and lots of pictures!

http://olivermissionary.blogspot.com/ - My best friend. Nuff said haha.

 

 

It is crazy. I just sit and scroll up (not down because blogs are posted with the newest one at the top :P) and then laugh or cry or run downstairs telling my mom a story that I just read. And the problem with it is that I am here reading about these missionaries encouraging others to read their scriptures or write in their journals and what am I doing?

 Reading about them encouraging me to write in my journal and read my scriptures and thinking

 "Yes, I will definitely do that" *keeps scrolling*

My goodness.

 

My name is Bailey, and I am a Mission Blog addict.

 

In all honesty, These blogs are actually really comforting.

 You can see the trials that they face and yet you can see that they overcome them like it was a piece of cake. I am so excited to serve a mission, so that I can help bring others to the truthfulness of this Gospel. One of my leaders has a daughter out and she was told that 99% of your mission is super hard, but that 1% makes it sooo worth it. How cool is it that we can serve and teach and learn at only 19? Super cool.
