Days Like This.

Days like this, I can't help but laugh at myself. Ever have those days when you KNOW you're in a bad mood, and you just don't care? Yup. That was today. I generally find myself in a good mood through bad circumstances, but today I didn't care that I was grouchy. My friend and I got pulled over this morning on the way back to school, my sweats were beyond soaked from the rain (my biggest pet peeve is wet pants) I had no other clothes to change into, I was stuck in my room alone for about 4 hours with nothing but my computer and wet sweats, I didn't eat or drink anything until 4:00 pm, and I literally lost half of my fingernail. (Yum, I know.) 


I told my roommate a few weeks ago that I thought it would be fun to start blogging, but with school I was too busy. She recommended that I wait until the end of the semester, and since this was my last day at Bethel, I decided to give it a go! That and the fact that I was stuck in my room waiting for my family to come help me move out, and I had nothing else to do.  

Now if you're wondering what turned my frown upside down, I'd have to give credit to blogspot. My first blogging dilemma was of course finding a name! I evidently jumped on the blog wagon too late, and missed all the good names. I tried everything from "This Life I Live" to "Que Sera, Sera to "My Fricking Blog" to "Oh The Tangled Webs We Weave" Yup. ALL TAKEN. Which made me think--Lisa, you're a funny person! Have a funny name! So I started getting creative--or so I thought. The name "Baa Baa Blog Sheep" was in fact taken, so I resorted to extending my "Baaa's" --maybe my sheep was hungry, or lonely, or maybe someone else just had "Baa" taken for their Blog URL, either way, here I am! As I found myself literally laughing out loud at some of the names I tried, and laughing even more because someone else had used that name, I had to stop and realize that whatever was bringing me down today, wasn't worth it, and that I have no right to be in a bad mood. This blog sheep should be celebrating after officially moving home from school after 4 years of college. Graduation is just around the corner (Sunday to be exact!!) And I have SO much to be thankful for!! So next time you're having a "day like this" stop and laugh at yourself, because nothing should keep you from smiling. Life's too short to sweat the small stuff :)
