ANT ATTACK!

Oh man! We are being bombarded by an army of ants! Ugh these little guys are such a pain, and just when you think you get rid of them, they always come back.....
Last year we found them in all the Christmas presents! hahaha! Awful, funny to look back on but AWFUL!

Anyone have any good remedies for this? So far I've heard Grits, Lemon water, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, diatomaceous earth.....But what do you do when you can't figure out where they are coming from?

Any ideas?

Did I mention....

Did I mention that my brother called me?? Yay! He is home. I am so excited!! Seriously I was so worried about him the whole time! I can't imagine how happy his wife must be that he is back!

And I digress a little, but did I ever mention how much I hate, hate HATE when people talk about you behind your back. Please, how old are we?? High school? Just tell me to my face, don't turn all my roommates against me. Oh my gosh gag me....
I could go on about this but I don't think this is the time nor the place, and I am trying to stop being mad about it, but lets just say I am so glad I am not in high school anymore, I can't wait to be in a regular situation where people don't act like this.
I dont think I've been this mad for a long time....Im trying to get over it but after a whole semester all I can say is I am glad I'm applying for grad schools.

breathe, just breathe.....lol....

HOME!

Finally I am home! Yay! Well I've been home for a few days now. My aunt commented to me last night, "Shayna, you don't seem as happy as usual. It seems like you are hating the world about now." It's true! I realized how much I miss home, how much I am tired of trying to pull so much weight of the world around me. It's amazing how different life feels when you are with people who love and care about you. The world out there is so harsh--even in a BYU ward! People act nice and stuff, mostly, but there is such a missing element of love, support, strength, understanding, and at home they just love you for who you are and you don't have to put up any kind of front for them. Oh home, its so wonderful! I love the beautiful feelings of peace you can find here.

The Little Angel on the Top of the Christmas Tree

Haha I just thought this was hilarious and that you all should read it:
The Little Angel on the Top of the Christmas Tree!

One particular Christmas season a long time ago, Santa was getting ready for his annual trip but there were problems everywhere. Four of his elves got sick, and the trainee elves did not produce the toys as fast as the regular ones so Santa was beginning to feel the pressure of being behind schedule. Then Mrs. Claus told Santa that her Mom was coming to visit; this stressed Santa even more.
When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two had jumped the fence and were out at heaven knows where. More stress. Then when he began to load the sleigh one of the boards cracked and the toy bag fell to the ground and scattered the toys.
So, frustrated, Santa went into the house for a cup of coffee and a shot of whiskey. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered that the elves had hid the liquor and there was nothing to drink. In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the coffeepot and it broke into hundreds of little pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found that mice had eaten the straw it was made of.
Just then the doorbell rang and Santa cussed on his way to the door. He opened the door and there was a little angel with a great big Christmas tree. The angel said, very cheerfully, "Merry Christmas Santa. Isn't it just a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Isn't it just a lovely tree? Where would you like me to stick it?Thus began the tradition of the little angel on top of the tree.

Wow can we say Blog Procrastination at its best??!

Hmm where to begin..Thanksgiving was fun--my family wasn't sure I was coming until I walked into the door. Ha! That was a good day. I love being with my family! Me and Tim and Shanna drove up to CA for Thanksgiving, then Courtney came back with us and spent a week with me and just went back today. It's amazing how much she has "grown up" in the last couple of years. I sometimes wish I could have been there to be a better sister, but I was in school and guess I just wanted space to grow up myself as well. It was a blast having her here! I miss being around family.

Oh yes, and boys. Ha! So our Bishopric decided to tell all the guys in the ward that they had to go on one date a week. People are moving out because they aren't getting asked out. But the boys are all thinking that the girls need to be doing the work in starting up relationships.....I happen to be a little old fashioned, however. I think, at least from experience, that guys need to work for it or else they won't appreciate it. Right?? Am I right or what?? I feel like I'm always doing the chasing when I like a guy, and every time it ends up going down the drain and he never mans up and asks me out, or he never ends up liking me.....so I'm going on strike from that. We'll see how long it lasts though. Ha! :) (Though I never ask them on dates....just invite them over for activities....but still.....boys are just dumb, amen.)
