Bad News

Here is a list of some things in my life that currently fall under the category of "Bad News."

1) Passport picture. Definitely bad news. Should have cut my bangs before.

2) BYU's decision that the only obvious solution to the issue of how my study abroad loan money is divided is to just take away the loan altogether. Thanks! (Don't worry...many angry phone calls and messages later they gave it back. Jerks.)

3) The myriad cuts and gouges on my hands that still exist because the gloves that were ordered from the warehouse were a size small, not extra small. We'll have to remedy that one....

4) No food in the house but this giant box of Christmas candy... Don't ask what I've eaten today.

Fortunately there's some more exciting news thing-a-ma-jigs mixed in with all the "Bad News" items. But...they aren't nearly as exciting or fun to read about. Mostly I just thought everyone should get their laughing done now about my passport pic. Gag.

On Fashion

"I know it sounds corny, but to me, fashion is a form of art...[T]hat's strictly what I find it: it's not necessarily about simply looking "good" or "chic". The designers that inspire me don't focus on designing clothes just to be cloths; the looks they design are art! WEARABLE art, which is more fun that pretty paintings in a museum that you can't touch. My ignorance aside, it really bothers me when silly ideas like "Fashion Do's and Don't's" and "Fashion Police" are established, because that takes all the fun out of putting together an outfit. In my opinion, the most interesting fashion is the Anti-Fashion. No rules, no restrictions, no normalcy, no pleasing anyone ... It's not how cute an outfit is, it's what it seems to reflect: a personality, a story."

"Women, wear what you love. That's all I can say. That's my motto. It's nice to have on a nice suit, but it's a lot nicer to change a generation in terms of their health. It's a lot ... better use of my time to focus on rallying this country around our military families. I mean, there's so much that I hope to do in this role that makes a difference in people's lives."

On Humor

"Humor is vital. We definitely have a tendency to take ourselves way too seriously. [T]hat stems from a really sweet sincerity of people who are trying too hard to be good and who always want to be better. But in our quest for improvement we often forget to laugh, which is easy to do, since we're so busy. But laughter is important to your sanity and to your health. Marjorie Hinckley said, 'The only way to get through life is to laugh your way through it. You either have to laugh your way through it. You either have to laugh or cry. I prefer laughing. Crying gives me a headache.' "
