eating on the go

TOTALLY an object :]

I loooove to eat on the go.

I like to eat standing

when sitting I eat like I'm going to be called away at a seconds notice

I can be seen eating while walking down the street

and not because Im in a hurry but just for the heck of it

I like to eat while holding the baby(ie must stand)

yes I am a bad example. I dont happen to care

Random facts:

I may get bored in my crash course intensive german class...pretty sure I already know everything you learn till like halfway through the next level.

I need to get my act together with finding a school

I wish people posted more often

It's on European socialism. I mean, really, what's the point? I'm not European. I don't plan on being European. So who gives a crap if they're socialists? They could be fascist anarchists, it still doesn't change the fact that I don't own a car

fat

either I missed a day or my computers whack....but this goes here

So not about me fat...no that I'm no longer hormonal and retaining water I can see that I'm really obnoxiously skinny...it rocks. (Seriously who's idea was it to make women fatter and more self conscious all at once?)

But the kids I work for. Lara is kind of chubby and I always have to clean her rolls lol.

Erk because of the meds he has to take is retaining a lot of water so he looks fat...but hes not. Poor kid he's sporting a pot belly and chubby cheeks luckily hes 3 and can still sort of rock that look.

Being a sickly skinny child I have no idea what it would be like to be a chubby one....but hey there's bad things about looking malnourished like looking years younger than you are....got 5 when I was 8...13 at 16 and now. 15 at 19. SERIOUSLY PEOPLE?????? Im already young enough without people decreasing my age. and I know this will continue for a while my mom used to have to show people her id for them to believe she was that old

Random fact:

remember while you're sleeping a whole world is going on

Quote:

where are you going?

a better place

my hook

My crochet hook that is

the only difference between me and little old ladies is that I watch movies like dirty dancing while crocheting. (I say this like crow-sh-et-ing in my head so I spell it right)

Also the little old ladies are sooo much better than I am.

Random fact:

I want to go dancing

Socks

So you've heard me say I hate shoes this statement continues to socks. I only wear knee highs or ankle socks and I mean true stops before the bone ankle socks...I hate normal socks they feel weird

I have consistent fights with erk about wearing socks...I mean me wearing socks

Random Facts:

-when I have to go to the bathroom at night I have nightmares

-Lately about my hair

-I'm kind of vain

-People often still think I'm 15

Object week

Each day I will present an object...not a thing an object

Todays object...HUGGERS

You know those people you meet for the first time and they give you a hug?

and then proceed to hug you every time they see you

I say to you people...weird.

A girl in my ward is a hugger doesn't bother me tooo much cause no one else is.

But usually I hate huggers. It means youre touching me. I don't always like being touched especially if I don't know you.

Random facts

My hand

A combination of drool, scratches and washing my hand about 20 times a day has turned it red scaly and gross.

have bought and started applying lots of lotion

Random facts:

Erk is jealous of my awesome tower building skills

my class starts tuesday

I'm going to a ward party and am like ecstatic.

Don't slip up and say a bad word in front of a kid...they will repeat it

luckily erk has seemed to forgotten the bad word I said

I Love Church!!

I know you're thinking--what?!?! this isn't where I go for my mormony sunshiney updates!! this is where I go for whiny teenage floundering sarcastic randomness!!!

But it has to be said.

feel so welcomed

feel so wanted

So if you go to church and see someone new--say hello smile

it really goes a long way

Nanny diary: entry 7 nanny notes

Ok so first the maid had an armani coat!?!?!!?

Also figuring out that the 2 flights to stuttgart that day could fit in one plane and so then cancelling the earlier flight (ours) and forcing everyone to go to the other airport an hour away...yeah you jerks.

So Erk likes me a lot better now. And thats good cause now that we are back in Germany he can see me as more than just the weird person hanging around.

I love that I can talk to people again! seriously I hate not being able to talk--this is me we're talking about

English=Obnoxious

gift&present--here

story--level--floor

AND OH MY GOSH

seriously as Ive been correcting and teaching WHY DOES ANYONE SPEAK ENGLISH

it really sucks no wonder not many people ever fully understand it

like when to say repair and when to say fix

no real rules just instinct

I keep hearing things and think ok how do you say that in english and I mostly come up with--we wouldn't.

Random facts:

when I was little I was under the impression all kids spoke english and then learned their other language--so I thought americans were stupid

I also thought my mother controlled the weather once said I hope mom doesnt make it rain today

I still think that at the time that claim was legitimate

It creeps me out that facebook remembers who I stalk//talk to

Quotes from a smart cookie :]

Be the change you wish to see in the world

You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.

Man can never be a woman's equal in the spirit of selfless service with which nature has endowed her.

Where there is love, there is life.

You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.

FOOD

If you know me...you know I like food and that I talk about food a lot.

and if you read this blog you are probably secretly wondering how I am not 300 pounds.

if you aren't...you will be.

Butter: I love butter, I've said it before butter and I we're friends. I'll probably tell my kids butter is an acquaintance because you shouldn't eat so much butter...but its soooo good! Peanut butter and I are not friends we're more like distant relatives....4 times removed. nutella and I we're pretty tight (its hasselnut butter with chocolate) who could not like nutella. Chocolate and I we're kind of like lovers but more on that later. So butter I eat a lot of it and honestly piece of bread and butter and I'm good.

Figs:I had figs the other day. No idea what they were till I started eating them and thought hey these taste just like fig newtons! then it hit me....so fig newtons taste like figs(shocker)

Chocolate:I love chocolate. Chocolate and I are like lovers. I like chocolate bars chocolate milk(esp chocolate soy milk in a juice box) chocolate cereal (esp w/ marshmallows) Boston cream doughnuts cake with chocolate frosting... regular chocolate cake...also the fancy kind. chocolate chips, chocolate chip cookies mint chocolate chip ice cream ben and jerrys cherry garcia. I think I'm going to go buy some more chocolate now mmmmmm:)

Chestnuts:roasted chestnuts=pretty good raw chestnuts=really gross. why are they called chest--nuts???

Meat:So tried being a vegtarian for 2 months...and now I miss it. Seriously meat tastes good but I feel grody when I eat too much or sometimes any at all. but being a vegatarian is hard cause you have to focus on things like protein and iron. I love soy milk hate peanut butter(nutella all the way woooooo!)

AND I hate those stupid little fish--no do not put more on my plate I dont want the 6 you already gave me!!!! why is just salad not an acceptable meal?

I really want some onion rings I think I'll go to burger king

I also really want some mango eis! too bad it'll be freezing in stuttgart when we get back. hmmm is it weird that I want to visit some friends partially so I can go to my favourite ice cream spots?

Whoever designed

This door is an idiot.

Seriously a window in the middle of the door??? Yes you have fancy blinds that block out the sun//moon but moon light doesn't keep you awake light from the hallway does.
also this handle I walked into it a lot my first day here and it hurt!!!

So no one should tell me how this door is cool cause I know I have a lot of friends into design this door sucks.period.

"Imagination rules the world"

and just for fun

"are you saying I'm a liar?"

"no I'm saying you're an optimist same thing basically"

just decide

to be happy--you can do it! Honestly most the time I'm not happy I don't care to be which is why most of my friends attempts to cheer me up fail.

Oh thanks for the christmas present Beth! this is what I bought

Jeans that actually fit!!!! I even got the "short" ones because despite my many claims that I'm not that short....I have not long legs.

*Picture has been censored (I am a teenager after all ;0)

I also went to a movie today, I decided it would be weird to not be from an English speaking country because it seems to me that most movies are in English. Which does not bother me one bit.

There was briefly a thunderstorm Poured rain Saw lighting Heard thunder basically it was awesome. Reminded me of when I was little and my family lived on Ft Meade(oh yes we did) and the power would go out and I would sit by the window in our front room and read by lighting because there would be so much. I miss that crappy house it was awesome--like when we put plastic over the windows in the winter and it billowed out from the wind. Thats quality housing right there people.

Once again I DARE you to skip a meal in a house full of bossy(but nice) Turkish women. I ate earlier I'm not hungry so far 2 people have asked me to come eat. I'm sure at some point the maid will ask and she doesn't understand English or German and is also REALLY bossy.

Nanny notes:

--Laura has learned to grab, this hurts my neck//head(hair pulling)

--I MUST learn the words to lullaby and goodnight so I can stop humming it

--I feel that picking Erk up and carrying him to the bathroom is perfectly acceptable. Diadem does not. I obviously understand German Customs better than English ones.

Random Facts:

--If you couldn't tell from the last post I hate valentines day

--I like all other dorky fake holidays

--I don't like a fuss for my birthday(which is why I took it off facebook)
