.:New Moon Release Party:.

I am excited to go to the NM release party tonight with my most favorite Fruzin ever!

I just hope that I can stay up that late again.

I was really crazy Wednesday night and pulled an all nighter...
[More like a 2-day-er.]

I am
E.X.H.A.U.S.T.E.D!

.: Powell-a-palooza!:.

True Confession #One:
♫We like to party.
We like we like to party.♫

(and by we I mean me.)

True Confession #dos:
I NEED A VACATION!!!!
StAt!

True Confession #Drei:
I have never been to Lake Powell


So my lovely peeps I am so excited to announce


POWELL-A-PALOOZA!

Coming May 2010!




I am so excited!


Just looking at all the beautiful pictures makes me so antsy to get there!




Three days on a houseboat,
fun in the sun,
and peeps that I love!!

What more could I ask for?

Guess I gotta get my butt in gear with working out and get a tanning pass so that I don't get burnt to a crisp!

But I'm so excited!!

.:Obey the Rules:.

I have decided that dating in Utah
is
ridiculous.

It seems to me that "Mormon boys" have forgotten how to properly court a woman.

*They seem to think that one date equals a marriage proposal therefore, they simply don't ask.
*They also forget how to call, text, or even acknowledge that we even exist during the week unless there is an activity going on.
*X box or "nofriendo Nintendo" is WAY more important than we are.



So let's refresh what the definition of dating is shall we?

Dating:
Dating is about two people coming together to get to know one another and find out whether they are compatible, then enjoying each other's company and eventually forming a close bond and relationship.


So here are the new rules that I have decided will help prevent any more heartbreak in my life.
[cause quite frankly my poor little ticker can't take too much more!]

~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~


DATING RULE # 1:

If you are interested in me, you will ask me out.
Period.
No more of this...
"Well he is never gonna ask me out, so I have to be the one to ask him out"
kinda crap!

And yes, I'm old fashioned.

:]


Dating Rule # 2:

No Texting!

(This is a new rule for me, and to be honest it might be a little hard to keep. I think that texting makes dating so impersonal.)

Only an occasional..

"be there soon"

"running late"

"Have a good day"

sorta text is okay



Dating Rule # 3:

Be A Gentleman


Which means opening the door.
(Doesn't have to be always, but definitely when I am getting in the car. or walking into a building)
And an occasional compliment goes this(..........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................) Far!!! [Which is pretty darn far]


Guys, here's a helpful hint...
Chivalry is most definitely NOT DEAD!
It's actually SUPER HOT!


Dating Rule # 4:

I will ONLY date worthy Priesthood holders.

I know. I know. I'm such a prude.

HA HA HA!
[Sorry I couldn't help but chuckle at that]

;]


Dating Rule # 5:

No kissing w/o communication.

Which means that both people need to express how they feel about kissing and their intentions.
I have found that this eliminates a lot of confusion and heart ache.

So I think that's all I can think of for now.

What are/were your dating rules?
I'm curious to see what other people think and what other things might help with making this game of dating a bit more fun and a little less stressful.

until then,

.:Not my week with Men:.

This past week was definatley not my week with men.

After falling for someone that I care deeply about and could see a future with, I find myself once again in the "Friend Zone."

Oh, the two words that I hate the very most in the English Language.

I have been put there time and time again and it hurts just the same every time. I hate the feeling of loving someone and knowing that they do not feel the same way about you.



It hurts.



A lot.



Then, today I found out that my ex is engaged.
Yes,
I am over him.
No,
I don't want him back.

But it still hurts like hell to see him moving on with his life and I am just stuck here in the "friend zone."



So needless to say... I am DONE(!!!!) with dating for a while.

&

I have made some new rules for when I do decide to start dating again...
Those will be coming in my next post.

until then,

Girls rule and boys drool!!!

.: New Discovery!:.

You're welcome!

.:Musical Snack Week 7:.

This one is dedicated to the movie Dear John!

I adored it!

&

the music is phenominal!

.:I Still Believe In Fairytales:.

But I usually just end up like this....

.:Case of the Grumps:.

So the last few days I have had a WICKED case of the grumps. I just haven't been able to shake them.

And then today.

Today, I walked outside and there was sunshine!

Today I felt the warmth shining on me and I remembered that winter will always have to end.

And the sun will eventually shine through.


*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*

So to you my dear friend Spring,



Please come quickly and with great force.
I miss you terribly.


I will be waiting!

♥ Always,
Shaylyn

.:Chronic Worry:.

I hate it!


I have become such a worry wart!

I find myself worrying over the tiniest little things.

I really need to just relax and stop worrying, but I don't know how!!?



AHH!



I swear it's gonna be the death of me one of these days..
