Happy Pig- Not So Happy

These are a few of my favorite things: 

Puffs Plus Lotion- Try them, you will never go back to kleenex! Your nose with thank you!

NeilMed Sinus Rinse- You've never experienced anything quite like this. 

Essential. Don't leave home without taking it. 

Makes any time a good time. If you catch my drift... 

You can never get too much vitamin C! 

And of course, some mates of state to sing my soul: 

Being sick isn't so bad when you have all your favorite things!!! 

Happy Harry Potter Day.

Yes. 

lessons for life

Today my roommate learned something really important.

< cabbage

   lettuce >

And in honor of this mistake I wrote this haiku:

when you go to smiths

if you don't know the difference

read the sign above

*this is not to make my roommate feel dumb. merely to avoid further confusion : ]

The Pig of Happiness

So tell the truth, when you saw that the name of this blog was "the happy pig" what did you really think? Did you think, "I wonder if this girl has a pig nose, or maybe shes just really overweight. Or maybe she has a weird obsession with pigs. Or maybe she has a killer snort." Well, just so you know, none of these are true. The real reason behind the title of my blog is a very influential book that was given to me when I was 15 or 16 by one of the best friends a girl could have. Namely Rachel Moyes. This book is entitled "The Pig of Happiness". It changed my life. Let it change yours.

I thought I had it all together.

"I am now quite cured of seeking pleasure in society, be it country or town. A sensible man ought to find sufficient company in himself"

-Emily Bronte

This quote has recently found new meaning in my life. If you enjoy spending time with yourself, then no matter what you are doing or who you are with, you should be able to enjoy that time! It doesn't mean that you have to only spend time with yourself. It just means that WHEN you are alone, you should be able to have fun by yourself.

Anyway, on a completely different note, I recently have been addicted to this song. Enjoy!! 

whatever it is.

It is really easy for me to get excited about new things that I want to achieve 

such as...

becoming a ballerina

becoming a rock star musician 

becoming a runner

becoming a stronger LDS member

becoming even more of a computer geek

 becoming a cyclist 

 becoming more cultured

becoming the kind of person who ONLY eats nutrient rich food

These are the things that bring joy into my life. Among many others. 

Don't feel ashamed by the things you enjoy or the goals you want to set. You don't need approval from others. You don't need to like or do the things everyone else does. If what you do brings you happiness and makes you more of the person you want to be, that is reason enough to do it.

Just do it. Whatever it is.
