The Exception

Have you seen the movie "He's Just Not Into You" ? Not a GREAT movie, but it's okay...definitely a rental, not a "must see". ANYHOW there's a part in the movie were all the women realize that they are not the EXCEPTION, but the RULE. You know what I mean....When we think "well, officer....the reason why I was speeding is because my son has diarrhea and needs to go NOW." That is the EXCEPTION. (true story- it happened to a friend, and supposedly it worked) But guess what? I just KNOW that I would not be the EXCEPTION, because the RULE is if you speed and get caught, you get a ticket. OR....you're living with a guy for years, and you think he's going to marry you even though he himself doesn't believe in marriage. HELLO...he's never going to marry you. (because that would be an EXCEPTION to his RULE, and usually no EXCEPTIONS are made.) Rules, laws, policy's, procedures and guidelines for a set for a reason. They are the RULE. Very rarely do people fit into the EXCEPTION category. Okay, so now I've given you a few examples of "rules and exceptions."

NOW can I say how TIRED I am of people who think that they get to be the EXCEPTION all the time. How "well, it's regulalry $700.00, but since I'm so awesome, it was only $50.00. " My gosh! Who really gets that kind of deals?? The best deal I ever got was at Childrens Place in Park City and I found a belt for Sier on clearence for 99 cents, but when I checked out it was only 19 cents. (That is a GREAT deal.) But I really think that's the best deal that I've ever gotten. Because I'm the RULE, I try to shop sales, but their are always people out there who can get it for WAY cheaper and they are the EXEPTION. Another point to how I'm the RULE....I LOVE summer, and going boating (like EVERYBODY who knows me knows) Guess when it rains in the summer? Yep, on the weekend. NOT durring the week when we all work, but on the weekends!!! Truly, that is when...I would know because I LOVE the weekends, and when a storm comes it loves weekends too. (There's on this weekend!) That should be better for us because the lakes are soo full on the weekends, but I fit once again into the RULE category...I work durring the week, and so does Mark. If we were the EXEPTION then we would go boating durring the week when everybody is working, and it's not stormy. Can somebody please teach me how to be the EXCEPTION? What does it take to be the EXCETION? A lot of lying, talking, and cheating probably...and in that case I'm just fine with being the RULE.

Rambling....

So this is just a ramble posts, so don't feel like you have to read!
I'm so excited to work in my newly finished office today! It is just a little room, but it will be warm...I've been FREEZING in the basement. Mark is great to have it done for me! I painted it light blue & green...it wasn't exactly what I had in mind, but still it is really cute. If you've seen my bedding, it is a lot like that....very "springy".
We had a fun, busy weekend. We helped Gaylene & Danny on their apartments, I feel bad we haven't been able to help them more, one night this week we might go over to help them...it is so close to being done. I can't imagine remodeling for 7 months!
After we got done at the apartment Friday night, Mark dropped me off at the Riverton Walmart to meet some of my friends for the Twilight release! It was so ghetto fun! There were seriously thousands of people there! (worse than the day after Thanksgiving) "Victoria" was there signing autographs! So much fun!!! I wish I was a teenager so I could get away with being more into it. Then I wouldn't feel so ghetto about it! Kip was so excited for me to get the movie...he has been so excited to see it. He loved it when he watched it!
On Saturday we went shooting (again). Of course we had a good time! We got the kid's gun out, and let them shoot it. Mark got them a little 22/410 shot gun a few weeks ago. It's the size of a little BB gun, so they can hold it themselves. The kids had fun with it...with Marks help of course!
And....I think I have Carpal tunnel. I was weeding one day, and after that I couldn't use my left hand at all. It hurt so bad!! What the heck...I'm only 28. What could I have done to cause it???
I'm not looking forward to the next few years with it. I can't do anything that requires squeezing, pulling, or strength....I'm pathetic....and I don't want to call the Dr. about it! Maybe it will just go away. (I know, probably not!)
I also got a new schedule for work! It will start the end of April and go through the middle of August! I have mixed feelings about it...I work Mon-Thurs. 3:30-8:30 at night, and Sundays from 3:30-7:30. Good news is A: I get to go to church! I've worked during church for a year now! B: I have Friday's and Saturdays off!! Bad news: I work almost every weeknight, which is hard because the kids have t-ball and Machine pitch games 3 nights a week, and Mark is playing Softball 1 night a week...(he usually plays 2, but has FINALLY figured out that it's just too hard on everybody else in the spring with all of our schedules) And, I go from working 4 days a week to working 5. Oh well, we'll get through it...we have for over a year now!
Well I just wanted to document some things that have been on my mind, and about the weekend. I don't keep a written journal...yet! My Visiting Teacher just gave me one to start, so I really want to do that! If you read along, thanks for reading!
