And then Tuesday happened....

I'm not gonna lie, work was damn difficult today.

MotorMouth was already on a rampage the second I walked into the office.  It wasn't a great way to start off the day.  It was A LOT to take in all at once.  I wish I was able to train more with my sister before she left on vacation.  It sucks that even though she's on vacation, she still has to work on stuff for the office.  

I'm not gonna go into detail about how much today sucked.  It made me grateful for two things:

-I had a client come in needing a receipt, from Saturday, for his coworker.  He didn't provide a lot of information, and all the info he did provide was basically in Spanish.  It was kinda hard because we were both struggling trying to understand each other.  It took me about 15 minutes to find the transaction he needed and he was ever so grateful!  All of it was nearly a miracle and really brightened my day!  I felt like I helped at least one person today and it made all the morning stress & junk worth it.

-I'm so grateful for Levi.  He listens to me when I call him, spitting mad, because I'm feeling overwhelmed, inadequate & frustrated all at once.  He listens and wants to help me see the upside to any situation.  He's so good at that.  And I'm glad that he lets me vent, no matter how colorful, and still sees me as a cute & sweet fiancee.  He's the best.  

Well, I'm glad I survived today.... like I was telling Levi, "What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger....and then it prepares you for the zombie apocalypse"  {or something like that}

After picking up my niece from middle school, we had to get some ice cream.  I guess middle school can be just as frustrating as dealing with MotorMouth at work.  

Grumpy.

Today, I'm grumpy.

People are annoying today.  5 o'clock can't come soon enough!!  

I'm tired of people using my computer, swiping my pens and leaving their trash & drink at my desk!  So rude and annoying!  

I just want to crawl back into bed.  And when I say "crawl" I literally mean that.  Today's the worst day of my period and I'm not a happy camper.  Stupid cramps hurt, A LOT!!  I don't know which are worst, the cramps or the bloating!!! So effin over these damn cramps.  

The big boss comes today, so people are stressing like crazy.  The air is thick with tension and worry.  No bueno.

Other than that, I think I need a hug.
And some Sea Salt Caramel Gelato from Fresh and Easy.

But I think I would opt for a hug from this man....  

Man, I miss my sweetheart during the week!!  Friday will be here soon enough, Ehu...then you can have ALL the hugs you want! 

Patience grasshopper, patience.

Good, Bad & Ugly: Weekend Edition.

Good: Had such an awesome weekend with Levi.  I love nothing more than just spending time with him.  I was able to have a "Ladies Day" with my niece & sister.  Ate at the new Filippi's restaurant here in town.  We also hit up Oasis Ice Cream, because honestly, that's the BEST ice cream here in town! There's just something so lovely about spending time with female relatives. I enjoyed a dinner party at Ame's and it was fun hangin' with the Peebs {some PB ward member friends}.  Plus my Young Womens Volleyball team won BOTH of their games on Saturday! Oh I felt like the proudest Mama ever!  They were excited and I think that was a terrific way to start their Vball season! Can't wait for their next game this coming Saturday.

Bad: I missed going to my ward on Sunday, thus missing Ame's talk.  I was rather disappointed about that.  Then I was even more upset that I was an hour late to the dinner party.  Don't even get me started on the overflowed toilet....FML moment, for sure.

Ugly:  Got into an argument with my Mom, late Saturday night/Sunday morning.  It's just so emotionally and mentally exhausting.  After a late night of arguing and hurtful words that were exchanged, I had no desire to go to church that next morning.  

On the up and up...

Yesterday, I woke up thinking it was Friday.  I was immediately happy, giddy and excited that I would be seeing Levi, because we had made Friday night date plans!!  Till it dawned on me that it wasn't Friday, but in fact just Thursday.  Man, I was so bummed! Such a let down.  It felt like the day seemed even longer.  When I woke up this morning, I couldn't wait for the day to pass quickly and to get my optometrist appoint over with cause I would soon be seeing Levi.
However.... it wasn't smooth sailing today....
-Found out from my Facebook newsfeed, from a conversation between my nephew's fiancee and her friend, that he's getting married on June 21.  Yet again, just like his engagement, I had to find out about his life on Facebook. Well then again, her grandma didn't know about the upcoming wedding until that same Fb conversation.  It's so nice that they're old enough to get married, but not mature enough to inform family members--like his own Mom. Wow....
-Got in a huge argument with my parents.  Hurtful things were said and to be honest, it was emotionally draining. 
-Skipped out on my optometrist appointment, because my eyes were red from crying and rubbing them.  To be honest, the optometrist that I go to is a jerk and I didn't want to give him something else to ream me about. 
But in the end, just like the rainy, grey weather of today, the day/evening got better!
**My friend Tui, who's Tongan & Japanese, received her mission call today to the Japan Sendai mission.  She'll be entering the MTC on April 24.  She called me up to personally tell me and thank me for making her feel so welcomed in the CVYSA ward when she started attending right after high school.  That really touched my heart that amongst all the calls she made today, she felt prompted to call me and to thank me.  I teared up.  I'm so happy for her!  She's going to be a terrific missionary!
**Filippi's Pizza Grotto, is opening a location here in Imperial Beach! OH YEAAAAAH!!! Man, I LOOOOOVE their pizza! Seriously, it fills the Pie Pizzeria hole that I have in my heart. 
**I had a fabulous date night with my sweetheart.  Just being with him was more than I could have asked for today.  It was perfect.  We went to Aroma Thai and had yellow curry w/ chicken and broccoli and chicken in peanut sauce. DELICIOUS!!!! Oh man, I LOOOOOOVED it!!  Then we stopped in at Oasis Ice Cream Parlor where it has THE BEST ice cream in the world! Seriously, I LOVE this place! I had coconut & watermelon and it was DIVINE!! It's like eating a real frozen watermelon and coconut! I have no desire to go to Cold Stone, with Oasis around!! Levi had banana and rocky road and man, it was super yummy!!!!! Gosh, I love this place too much!  Afterwards we went to see Identity Thief and man, I totally LAUGHED OUT LOUD!!!!  I have always enjoyed Melissa McCarthy because she will forever be Sookie St. James, in my mind. It was just a spectacular evening with my sweetheart.  He's the best, he really is!  Oh my lucky stars, I'm so blessed.

"You can't marry Vanilla, Ehu"

While at church today, I was talking to the Lao sisters about a guy I like. I told them that I was worried his personality may be a lil on the 'dry' side. I definitely would not want that, considering I've already had that in my life before and that was B-O-R-I-N-G. They both told me that I wouldn't do well with that, considering my own personality. They recommended that I find someone who was also lively and upbeat. I totally agree with them. One of them said under their breath, "You can't marry Vanilla, Ehu". At first I thought she meant that I shouldn't marry a Caucasian guy...which bummed me out--I really LOVE blue eyes. After my short bus moment subsided, I agreed again.

I don't want "Vanilla". Vanilla's nice, but not when it's by itself. It goes well with warm Brownies, Apple Pie or Root Beer. Vanilla ice cream is dull and basically, boring. I told the Lao sisters that I need "Spumoni".

Spumoni is EXCITING! COLORFUL!! A lil nutty, with a kick of sweetness. Different and fascinating, due to all the various flavors, colors and textures. Every bite is a little varied from the one before. You can even eat it by itself and it'd be perfectly fine.

However...

The more I describe Spumoni the more it sounds like it's too thrilling to eat with anything else. Why would you want to pair it up with something else? It'd be an overkill, wouldn't it? It would probably clash with Brownies, making it too sweet to handle. I doubt it'd do well coupled with Peach Cobbler. Too many flavors all at once! Maybe some even clashing! AHHH!!

So in the end, maybe I do need some Vanilla. Maybe he can be more like Neapolitan ice cream...Vanilla to cut the sweet craziness and keep me grounded, Strawberry to bring a lil color and passion and Chocolate because it can make a bad day better and a good day great!
