“Learn to like what doesn't cost much.
Learn to like reading, conversation, music.
Learn to like plain food, plain service, plain cooking.
Learn to like fields, trees, brooks, hiking, rowing, climbing hills.
Learn to like people, even though some of them may be different...different from you.
Learn to like to work and enjoy the satisfaction doing your job as well as it can be done.
Learn to like the song of birds, the companionship of dogs.
Learn to like gardening, puttering around the house, and fixing things.
Learn to like the sunrise and sunset, the beating of rain on the roof and windows, and the gentle fall of snow on a winter day.
Learn to keep your wants simple and refuse to be controlled by the likes and dislikes of others.”

WOW. Where did that come from?

Pressure. Recently, my mama asked me if I feel pressure to get married. I said no. But I sure do welcome the idea. Apparently, I'm on the hunt, like the ultimate creep.
 Example: I see a cute boy. First thing I do? Check for the ring. WOW. I'm cool. Where did that come from? I'm only 18! I have big plans! And I don't even know the stinkin' kid. Sure he's handsome enough to be in a chick flick, but he could possibly be the world's next Hitler. No one knows. Let's just say someone needs to put me on a leash. Or blindfold me so my creep disease doesn't get any worse than it already is.

Before I put that to rest, here is a story. 
I saw a red head today. About 50 yards in front of me, coming my way. He was so handsome, I should have touched him just to see if he was real. Basically he was Rupert Grint. In the flesh. We made eye contact. He smiled a friendly smile, and I smiled back.. I think (most likely I just creeped him out). Check for ring? He has one. All hope fades. Dangit. He has a lady. He passes. I double-take. WAIT! It was on his middle finger! Hope is back, but alas, the boy is gone. 

That's my life for you. But seriously, what do I expect? 
A pro-status story like Megs? I don't think so.
