I wish I knew...

Just so you know.. I wrote this in 2008 and never published it. It made me laugh, so I am publishing it now.. but here is the really sad thing, all the stuff I said I figured out back then.. I can't remember to do now.. So I wish I knew how to do it again...I have committed myself to keeping a blog again.. but this time, I going to tell everyone I am doing it, so people might ask me why I haven't blogged in a while. Maybe that will help me get it done. I have this urge to try and go back and catch up.. But I think I will just start from here and try and keep up.
I have plenty I need to VENT about and writing is so therapeutic for me....so I am gonna give it a try.


I hope you have a while, cause this could take some time if I get on a roll.
Really what I wish I knew right now is more blogging tricks. I cannot even figure out how to sign my name in some cool, fancy way. I did figure out how to pick some pretty paper, I know that's a start!
Somehow, I ended up posting a blog here that was supposed to go to another blog?? I just left it because I have no idea how to put a link into the other blog? How do people know all these things, I am in awe!!
I also wish I knew how to make more time in my day to read all the cool blogs out there that others seem to follow! There are so many people who have a talent for writing things that are fun and interesting to read! I love reading things that make me laugh and I can relate to. Maybe if someone blogged my scriptures I would get them read better, cause I can waste some time on this here computer reading about everything everyone else is doing and getting nothing done in the process!
I wish I knew how to see myself better. I went to the RS broadcast the other night. I must have looked particularly nice that evening because everyone was commenting on how nice I looked. But let me explain to you how I got ready to go that evening.
I decided since it wasn't so humid, I would try and wear my hair straight ( I have NOT straight hair) Well, it didn't work so I tried to just let it be how it was going to be cause I was running out of time. So it was kinda straight in some places, curly in some and, well.... I was not feeling so pretty at that point.
THEN I had to get dressed. I had already decided on a black skirt, hose and shoes. I was feeling completely fat, so I thought that was the safest. It took me forever deciding on a top. I had one that was pretty, great colors and comfy, but it had a high waist and a tie so I figured everyone would be asking everyone else if I was pregnant or just come out and ask me... and I wasn't in the mood. I didn't feel like smacking someone would contribute to the feeling of sisterhood at the meeting. So I tried on another top that I just bought. It was more fitted and not as comfortable, but it didn't look like a maternity top, so I went with that.
Then I spent the whole ride to the church regretting my decision! UGGGH. I am just so tired of thinking about such things all the time. What would it feel like to just get dressed and go and never think about what you look like all evening.
My husband informed me that he thinks most women do the same thing. We are a sad bunch. To tell you the truth, I know not a single other person cared what I was wearing or would even remember what I was wearing, but it was such a big deal to me. I know I walked around like I was so happy to see everyone and had no problem being up and out, but I really wanted to hide in a dark corner so everyone wouldn't see all my flaws just out there for everyone! And then when everyone kept telling me how great I looked, I couldn't accept it. I couldn't dare to think I could actually look good. Other women can be overweight and I look at them and say," wow, she looks beautiful". I cannot accept that I can be overweight and be attractive. So I really wish I know why I can't just accept myself where I am while I try my best to improve all about myself that I can.
Ok, well that was all just depressing blah, blah, blah!
So here are some things a little lighter that I wish I knew....

I wish I knew why slim fast always taste better when you eating with something you aren't supposed to have ( like donuts, hamburgers etc). I KNOW there are some out there that feel the same.......lolololol

I wish I knew why people had to put safety labels on things like hair dryers and irons that say things like " don't use while in the bath tub" Who are the people who made it necessary to have these labels. I wish I knew who they were. There are things I would really like to know from them.
