My Sick Day (aka the boyfriend post)

I think I got food poisoning yesterday.

I was sick all night long and couldn't sleep at all.

I missed work and school because I was not feeling well.

I hate being sick.

But this time it's different.

Because Trent said he would baby me.

I'm so happy I have him.

I know this may sound cheesy and stuff,

but you have to count your blessings.

Right now the biggest one I have is Trent.

So if being sick means he'll take care of me...

I guess it could be worse.


Someone said this about him:
"He wants to take care of you in every way he can that would be catering to your every need! You certainly couldn't ask for a more loving kinder person who must think the world of you. You are a fortunate girl & trust you treat him with kindness on your end too as he seems like the type of person who would really appreciate it. He must be a "soft hearted" type person to use that kind of language. Count your blessings!"


I love having Trent as my boyfriend! 

My Sister's New Wallpaper

I emailed this picture to my sister Larissa.

She said she loved it so much she made it her wallpaper.

I think it's pretty adorable.

Aren't we totally cute?

Yeah, I thought so.

My Haves

I have...

A broken iPod.

Awesome roommates.

A great family.

A big heart.

Pretty great taste in music.

A crush on Shawn from Psych.

A broad imagination.

A habit of shaving my arms.

Great fashion sense.

Skills to do my make up.

And a boyfriend!!!!!!!

Yes, people, you heard it here first.

I officially have a boyfriend.

And I'm completely off the market.

And I'm pretty happy about it.

I have a boyfriend!!!

He's the cutest thing ever.

And he makes me smile every day.

November 27, 2010 people!

Te quiero mucho, penguin!

My Penguin Spice

Hello, bloggers.

Look at your smile.

Now look at mine.

Now back at your smile.

Now back to mine.

Sadly, it's not like mine.

But if you stop beating around the bush,

and start going for it like me--it could be like mine.

Look at your boy.

Now look at mine.

Look down, back up.

Where are you?

You're in Provo.

With the girl with the smile your smile could be like.

What's in your hand?

Back at me.

I have it.

It's a phone with a text from a really cute boy.

Look again.

The text is now a picture of the boy.

Anything is possible

when you have a boy that makes you smile like I am right now.

I'm on a couch.

(Because I'm lazy)

A/N:

Compare to the Old Spice and New Spice BYU commercial.

I'm pretty witty.

Is December here already?

P.S.: I blank you, penguin! Which is why I miss you a lot right now!

My Stock Market

What do you do when you wanna get something

but there's no stock available?

And you don't know when there will be more.

It might be in 3 months.

But not completely available per se.

It's really frustrating.

Spencer says my stock might be available sooner.

And he wants me to wait.

But considering how impatient I am...

We'll see how long that lasts.

Anyhoo.

Brenda, Lance and I went to watch Eclipse last night.

Brenda loved it and thinks it's the best movie ever...

--which makes me question her sanity--

I just loved one thing about the movie:

Jacob

~*~*~*~

This is me and Bren at the Walt Awards

("Black Tie" Ward Activity)

This is us at the movies!

(Lance bought the tickets for us. Isn't he the best?)

This is me excited to see Jacob.

This is me and Bren super excited!

(She was excited for the movie. I was only excited for the HP7 preview that was on!)

This is us waiting... and taking pictures!

My Pioneer Day Weekend

This is the story of a girl.

She had to work Friday for Pioneer Day Weekend.

It was Single Day at work.

On a Team known as Collaboration.

All the single people were working.

And only single people.

Because they didn't have anything to go home to.

They were really bored.

Getting a call per hour.

Nadia and Trent were sitting by each other.

Just taking pictures of their shoes.

Nadia's boots were the talk of the day.

Thanks to Brady.

Whether he was mocking them or really liked them...

Is still a mystery.

Brady gave Nadia a drawing.

Trent called it the bunny dog.

Nadia liked it.

But then Brady destroyed it out of nowhere.

Brady says Nadia is not very polite on the phone.

So he wrote a list.

And pointed at the words Nadia needed to use.

There were tons of guys and Nadia.

So obviously they picked on her.

Nadia stole Mike's iPhone 4 and used it to take the pictures of everyone.

Including herself.

And then she got to babysit the cutest baby ever.

And on Saturday, Nadia's friend asked her to be a model for a photography class assignment.

Pictures will be posted when received.

My Personal Policy

We have this policy at work that says we can't flirt with the customers.

I mean duh, they're pretty much old and married.

And it is just unprofessional.

But there's no policy against flirting with co-workers.

Unless they feel it's sexual harassment.

So there's this guy I always ask questions via Communicator (chat)

We pretty much have gotten to know each other that way.
Before Communicator he would always answer when I called.
And I was just smitten.

I even say hi to him when I see him.
And he recognizes my voice.

It's really funny.
So we were talking about this customer...
who couldn't log in because of a problem with his account.
And this guy was gonna fix it.
Because he always does.

9:26 AM Name Withheld

Cool

Ok, he can go ahead and try it.

9:28 AM Nadia Reategui

You are an awesome person! So amazing that I'll give you something for your help. 

There's a ticket going your way.:)

9:28 AM Name Withheld

Haha, thanks Nadia!

It's pretty innocent flirting if you ask me.

My way of kinda showing I like him.

Because he's really cute.

But honestly I just like the whole innocent flirting game.

It's cute.

Maybe one of these days I'll have the guts to...

Lame.

Got you there, didn't I?

My Favorite Soccer Player

With no doubt, Steven Gerrard.

He's great.
Yea, England's not doing as great as it should.
But the Algerian goalie was really good.
Props to him.
But Gerrard knows his way on the field,
with a soccer ball...


And he's a hottie.


O... and I passed American Heritage.
Heck to the yea!

My White Brother

Have I mentioned I have a white brother? I do. He's the best.

11:33 AMNadia Reategui

i wanna leave this team more than anything in the world

11:33 AMSpencer Brady

just don't get snooty or anything

11:33 AMNadia Reategui

why would i get snooty?
i'm not *name has been deleted for security purposes*

11:34 AMSpencer Brady

yeah he's gone down hill

he used to be cool

11:34 AMNadia Reategui

i know

11:37 AMSpencer Brady

if you get corrupted by AM I'm disowning you

just to warn you

11:37 AMNadia Reategui

disowning me from what?

11:37 AMSpencer Brady

you won't be my sister anymore

11:37 AMNadia Reategui

o no!!!!

spencer you can't do that!!!

11:38 AMSpencer Brady

I'm just saying. You can't get corrupted

I feel so loved. If there is something I love about being in Provo is the wonderful friends I've made that make me feel like family. I think it's so funny I used to have ill feelings towards Spencer because he made supervisor and I didn't. But then I put those feelings aside and we became brother and sister. I always tell him my stories, our relationship is very one-sided but that's because he's married and you can't expect it to be even.

O, Spencer. I'm still naming one of my kids after you.

My Married Best Friend

And this is why we get along.

1:32 PMNadia Reategui

i guess an ugly part of me wants a super hot husband

but why does that matter really

im being ridiculous

1:39 PMSpencer Brady

wait? you think "name has been deleted for security purposes" is super hot?

1:40 PMNadia Reategui

er... yea...

my idea of super hot is different than everyone else's...

or something...

1:41 PMSpencer Brady

apparently

I laughed for like 10 mins straight.

My Winter Olympics

Kyle likes watching the Olympics, which is why I end up watching them when he's here. I just love being with my favorite couple ever. (If you don't know who they are, please click here... after hitting yourself on the head for not knowing me well enough)

So Kyle wanted to watch the short track speed skating thing. Britt was in the kitchen making brownies I think. I was on the love seat and Kyle was on the big couch and I asked who this guy was.


Then Britt came and sat next to Kyle. The little conversation went like this.

Britt: Who are you talking about?
Kyle: Apolo Ohno.
Me: He looks gay.
Britt: You like gay guys.

Touche.

My Curious Recurrent Pattern - Part 2

I showed Spence who my last crush was.
He saw the picture and said: "you like em scrawny and with tight pants don't you"

Er... maybe...

My Curious Recurrent Pattern

She told me so. Britt so did tell me so. She said I would love it.
And I do.
Specially him.

He is perfect.

Except he's gay.
On the show.
And in real life.

But I don't care.
It's not the first time anyway.
Spencer said that seems to be a pattern for me.


Exhibit A


Exhibit B


Exhibit C

Real Guy I know.
Not posting pictures.
If you're my friend, then you know.


Exhibit D

He's gorgeous.

And I'm hooked.
Love Glee!


Thanks Britt!

My Writing Reward

I wrote a short story for my Writing Fiction class. Those classes intimidate me. Mainly because your classmates read your work and critique it. Constructive criticism or not, it's always hard for a writer to get bad reviews because you grow so attached to your work. It's your own personal baby. It came out of you and you don't want anybody to hurt it. But you have to let it go out there and gain experience... live on its own. If that makes any sense...

This is why reading stuff like this triggers something inside you... and you can't help but smile.

Recap of the latest

I spent Thanksgiving in Kent, WA with Danielle's family. Those were some seriously relaxing and awesome 4 days. I gained 2 pounds while I was there, which is less than what I expected so it's not too bad. So my total weight gain since I came to Provo is 5 pounds. Seriously I need to lose those pounds or I'll end up being last year's huge disgusting pig again.

My dating life is confusing. Well, actually I never know when something's a date so let's just say I've had none, though I might be lying.

I've been reading my Scriptures as I was told and that has made a big change in my life and in the way I face daily challenges. Little things do make a difference.

On Monday, we had a ward activity to go see the Temple lights... and the JS Movie. I'm not gonna lie, I did not want to go. I'd seen the JS Movie twice before that Monday, what I never told anyone was that I actually fell asleep both of those times. On Monday tho, after something cool happened before the movie, I actually paid attention to it and I felt the Spirit so strong that I actually felt and knew that JS was a true prophet and I felt grateful for being a member of the Church. It was a great spiritual experience.

On Tuesday, Nate was supposed to come over and watch 21 with me, but unpredictable as he is I ended up going to his apt to watch it there, which was totally cool. 21 is a great movie.

On Wednesday, I was a lazy bum. I also got into this weird mood and ended up telling Kim and Karen that I wanted to watch Pride & Prejudice. Me?! I hate that movie. But for some reason - I'm totally lying, I know why - I really wanted to watch it, and to be honest I enjoyed it... maybe a little too much. But man, that Mr. Darcy sure knows how to play his cards.

BTW

O, I love Rob Smith.

The end.

---- edit ----

Some people come into your life for
a reason, to change it and leave it.
You might be still around them but it is
not how it used to be, it's not the same. Never.
The worst is when you cannot let go and you know
you will never let go. You want their influence, or
maybe just having them was enough, but the truth
is that some people only come to be gone.
Some people have a purpose, only one.
Some people only come so you let go.
One of them I knew. He appeared
and left as silently as he came.
I will never know why or how
but one day it will all make sense.

Maid Service

"Bring me pie," he gestured and because she was so eager for him to talk to her, she hurried up to bring it and finally be close to him.

"What are you doing?" her friend said, trying to figure out why she was desperately looking for whipped cream.

She stood in the middle of the room and thought of what she was doing.

"My boyfriend just asked me to bring him pie," she finally concluded.

"boyfriend? What is he doing?" her friend asked looking at her with the plate of pumpkin pie in her hands and ready to deliver it.

"Playing cards with his friends," she said, lovestruck look on her face. "See?" She pointed at him. He was having the time of his life, he just needed one thing and it was up to her to make him completely happy. "But he wants pie."

And she marched away from her friend, missing only her french maid uniform. The attitude was already there.

"I've dreamt alone, now the dreams won't do"

I'm supposed to be studying but I just listened to this song and I'm such a mess right now that I needed to post it. Seriously, it describes a part of my life - which I consider to be the best and the worst - with such exactitude... Enjoy.

Listen!

It's "I see you" by Mika, btw.

Pictures

So we have Halloween and FHE. I can't tell you how much I love the FHE pics! They're just great! I think I look good. Cocky much?













*Here* *Here* You wanna look *here*

There

My roommate got her wedding dress yesterday. The apt was full of aww's and ahh's. Crazy. Good crazy. Britt looks so excited, it just makes us all feel happy for her. Besides, she and Kyle look adorable together.

As for my boy problems, they're done with. I haven't really felt anything for anyone since last year. I've tried to but it just doesn't feel right. Not like it did last year.

As for school, I'm doing well. Finally feel that my life is going the right way.

As for church, I have an interview with the bishop tonight so everything that's making me feel like such a failure inside I will finally be able to get it off of my chest. Bishop's in for a looooong conversation.
