Squishy Pillows Make Me Smile :)

  My bed is made up of six pillows, three squishy two regular are one mini regular. The squishy ones are by far my favorite. Here is the best website I could find to find them, called thefind.com. They practically mold to your body, and not in the weird way that the Temperpudic mattresses do. I don't really know why, but those just feel odd to me. Not as weird as the memory mattress though, that really just freaks me out. Like I would be going to sleep and the mattress would be like "Hey baby, imma make you sleep the exact same way all night as any other night you have ever slept on me". Um, no. I will sleep however I want to sleep, thank you very much. And squishy pillows let me do that. That's right memory mattress, I'm breaking up with you. I'm in love with something else, that makes me feel better than you ever did. Just kidding, because I never really had any memory mattresses because if I haven't mentioned this before, they freak me out. Plus, squishy pillows come in all shapes and sizes. I have a pink cylinder, a rainbow man with peace signs on him, and a soccer ball.

Pretty sick, am I right? Way better than any regular pillow that you have to cover with a case to make awesome. Also way more comfy. Its almost difficult to explain how incredible they are. They are literally why I miss my bed every day and night when I'm not in it. When I'm sleeping somewhere else, I'll bring one squishy pillow, but I'm not going to bring all of them. Unfortunately, they would take up all the room in my bag and I wouldn't even have room for a toothbrush. It's a hard life. But, wait can you guess it? Have you guessed anything yet? Nope! It's that squishy pillows make it all better! Oh...you guessed that? Hawkward. For some reason, and I really don't know why, all I have written about for quite a few posts is the media. Movies, TV, characters, parts of books and movies, etc. Too much! So I decided to write about this instead. I now realize that this might have been a good few sentences to start with, but it is too late now. Oh well, on that note, love squishy pillows and don't forget to smile :)

Corny Movies Make Me Smile :)

Right now, I'm watching The Game Plan on Disney Channel. It is one of the cheesiest movies I've ever seen, which is why I love it so much. If you don't already know, I'm going to tell you what it's about. If you do know, I'm still going to tell you. Basically, this all star football quarterback, Joe King, has it made. He is living the good life, he gets all the money, all the babes, all the trophies. Until. One day, a young girl shows up at his door claiming she's his daughter. Sound corny yet? Her name is Peyton Kelly, and she makes everything very... interesting. From bedazzling Joe's football to forcing him to participate in her dance class, Joe has his hands full. Not only that, but his big playoff game is coming up soon and he is way too preoccupied with Peyton to focus on it. Poor Joe. There is no way anyone is going to know what happens next, right? Ok, well this is why it is super cheesy. It is really just a typical Disney movie where everyone knows what will happen but they still get all emotional at the end.

This kind of says it all, doesn't it? Quality film right here. So back to the emotional part. I don't know if this is true, but I think that I personally feel the emotion because of the music they play. They have this inspiring stuff in the background that make the whole thing a bit less socially awkward. Honestly, if half these things happened in real life or even just without the music, it would be a lot different. But I still feel myself smiling that cute little "Aww, it all worked out for everyone!" smile. In true hope that this isn't just me and other people feel this too, keep on corny smiling :)

Blankets Make Me Smile :)

Curling up in a nice, warm, fuzzy blanket is all a girl can really ask for. Well, actually, I can think of several other things to ask for, but that's beside the point. What I'm really trying to get at is how awesome a nice, huge, warm, fuzzy blanket is after a long day at school. And every day at school is a long day. For Christmas, I got a green blanket that feels like it was made by the gods. Also the goddesses, I'm not being sexist here. My grandparents gave me the blanket, and there has not been a single day since Christmas I have not worn it. Honestly, it is the most comfortable banket ever, and I don;'t think this picture does it justice, but here it is anyways:

This is my blanket...

Like I said, doesn't really look that great. But it is, trust me! It is the most amazing thing ever, and I smile every time I wear it, even after the hardest of days. It's great in the mornings, when it's cold and I'm tired. It's great in the middle of the day, when nothing is really going on and I have nothing better to do. It's great in the evenings which, just like the mornings, it's cold and I'm tired. I don't know exactly where my Nana and Poppy got this particular piece of heaven, but here is a link to a website all about blankets. Seriously, it's called blankets.com and I've been on it for pretty much the whole week. Even though I didn't know I would write this post about blankets until today. That is actually kind of what reminded me of my blanket, which reminded me about my blog, which reminded me that I had to do it tonight, so I thought I would share it with you. Hope it makes you smile :)

Blizzards Make Me Smile :)

Today, we had our first big snowstorm of the year. It was awesome!!!! Here in Park City, the first big snow of the year is such a big occasion, we get the day off school! Just kidding...but that would be so cool! Anyways, it is still an important event, and it is really fun to look at through the small windows of our school. However, we got a special up close and personal look at the snow when we were forced to walk through it all the way to the high school. Which is roughly...not even a mile. It still felt like a long time, and the snow made it a bit better. Or a bit worse, depending on the way you look at it. I couldn't get a good picture of our snow, so here is another one:

This is from Kim Boomershine's blog, visit it here

Ahh, doesn't that look just incredible? It is basically what ours looked like, except ours just kept on coming and in this picture snow is at a stopping point. But still, it is an awesome photo, so props to Kim. The best part about the snow is the dramatic effect it gives. It can honestly make just walking or jogging (in slow mo, mind you) around twenty times more intense. If I were ever to film a movie, it would have to have at least one scene where the main character runs dramatically through the snow. In slow motion. Of course, the slow mo is a must. Back to the snow itself, I would just like to point out that snow makes the cold worth while. If it was just cold out, then there's no point in being outside or even having cold. However, if it's snowing, the cold is all OK. Without further ado, I say to you go enjoy the snow! And don't forget to smile! :)

Other Blogs Make Me Smile :)

I came across a few awesome blogs on my quest for the perfect topic. After my long search, I decided that the most fun and entertaining blogs to read were the ones about things people liked and hated. Being me, I figured that I would rather write about things I like. So, here I am with my first post, about other blogs. Because that is the first thing that makes me smile, just reading about other people's experiences.

The first blog I saw was called Let's Overthink This. This was also my favorite blog, mostly because of the title and tagline. The tagline is a quote, "In the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you" -Leo Tolstoy. I love this quote because it makes me think about all of the things that we miss because we are looking at or doing something else. Don't you hate how a friend or family member will interrupt you and say "Oh, wow, you just missed the coolest thing!" It may not show on the outside, but I am always wondering just how cool was the thing that I missed or how many inside jokes I would be missing out on because I didn't see it. But, enough on that, the point is that this blog made me smile.

After a lot more searching, I found another blog that fit my topic. It is called Holiday Matinee, and is by Dave. My favorite part about this blog are the pictures. All of their posts have a picture that perfectly fit their topic, or at least all of the ones I have seen. I hope that I can find cool pictures to put into my blog posts, but that might start next time. It is a process, blogging, and I just hope I can get up to speed on it!

The last blog I found was called Tiny Buddha. The author, Lori Deschene, perfectly captured what I want my blog to be about in one of her posts. She wrote about 50 things to love about life that are free. All of my blog posts may not necessarily be about free things, but they will be about things I love. She talks about family, friends, and just all around great stuff. All of this stuff will be what my blog is about, because the things that I love are so important to me and because they are fun to talk about. So, now I proudly present to you my blog: Thing That Make Me Smile :)
