10 Things

I've been a whiney, mopey Courtney lately. In my defense, I feel that I have good reason. I've had about three illnesses at once, plus school. And we all know how I feel about school. So anyway, here I am. And I've decided that it's a good day to do another 10 things. I've done them before. I'm going to list 10 things I'm grateful for, 10 things I really love. Sometimes it just helps to put things into perspective. Because we really need to appreciate the little things, ya know?
So here are my 10 things for today:

10. Hot, steamy, showers.
9. Heating pads. Wonderful things.
8. Naps. I don't take them as often as I did a few years ago, but the ones I've had lately have been greatly needed and have been extremely beneficial.
7. Yummy food. I've been learning how to cook more, and it's really been fun. I love providing for my family.
6. Medicine. Heavenly Father has greatly blessed our day with wonderful, wonderful things to help us get better and feel better. I am so grateful.
5. Hot chocolate.
4. Comfy clothes.
3. Socks. I love them.
2. Days off.
1. Mike Starr. My very favorite person in the whole world, my best friend, my husband. He is the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me, and he takes such good care of me. I don't know what I would do without him. He is simply... amazing.

TTFN.

I'm dropping out and opening a bakery...

This is one of the threat's I've commonly used on my mother, and now on my husband, when school gets to be a little too much to handle. Whether it means I'm bored, stressed out of my mind, or unhappy with policies at the university. Anyway, I'm definitely feeling the "stressed out of mind" part right now, so here it goes:

I'm dropping out and opening a bakery. Sure, sure. I know, my last post was uplifting and inspiring about how this is just a challenge, and I can totally beat it. But I'm totally recanting all of that. School is hard, and I don't like it, and I don't want to do it anymore. I like baking. Bread, cupcakes, brownies, peach bars... yumm....

I just want to stay home and play wife. Clean the house, do the laundry, make dinner, and bake yummy treats. Those are the things I really like doing. Sadly, there aren't classes at USU about any of those. Except for cooking, but they won't let me into those cuz I'm not a dietetics major. LAME.

Anyway, I've been procrastinating writing a paper for about 2 and 1/2 hours now, and still going strong. Unfortunately, I lack the ability to stay up past 10, so I won't be able to procrastinate for much longer. Anyone want to write it for me? Anyone? Anyone at all? I'll make you chocolate cake...
