Quotes I Live By

“There are cycles of good and bad times, ups and downs, periods of joy and sadness, and times of plenty as well as scarcity. When our lives turn in an unanticipated and undesirable direction, sometimes we experience stress and anxiety. One of the challenges of this mortal experience is to not allow the stresses and strains of life to get the better of us—to endure the varied seasons of life while remaining positive, even optimistic. Perhaps when difficulties and challenges strike, we should have these hopeful words of Robert Browning etched in our minds: 'The best is yet to be'"--L. Tom Perry

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It will all work out. If you do your best, it will all work out. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us . . . If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."
--President Gordon B. Hinckley

"God the Eternal Father did not give [the] first great commandment because He needs us to love Him. His power and glory are not diminished should we disregard, deny or even defile His name. His influence and dominion extend through time and space independent of our acceptance, approval or admiration. . . No, God does not need us to love Him. But oh, how we need to love God! . . . For what we love determines what we seek. What we seek determines what we think and do. What we think and do determines who are--and who we will become." --President Uchtdorf

Hi, My name is Katie

(No, this is not me)

And I'm addicted to the snooze button.

Really. I can't think of one time EVER that I haven't pressed the snooze button on my alarm.

At least twice.

Which makes me wonder, now, why don't I just set my alarm for the exact time I need to get up, therefore getting between 10-30 minutes of extra sleep?

Um. I don't really know.

I just get some sort of satisfaction in being like "ha! I can sleep longer"

It's kind of like waking up in the middle of the night, and realizing you have 3 more hours of sleep. I love that. Am I weird for that?

Really though, the snooze button is not so good sometimes.

Especially because even after I stop pressing it, I will still just lay in bed for about five minutes more.

Especially if it's early. Like six.

I leave for work at 625. I set my alarm for 5:30. And I wake up at 6:10 usually But still, I manage to do my hair, put on makeup, and eat breakfast in those 15 minutes.

I have become quite the expert at getting ready really fast since early morning seminary. Honestly, even when I have time to get ready in the morning, it doesn't take me more than 20 minutes. Which makes me wonder how some girls take hours to get ready.

Maybe I'm just weird.

Anyways, besides the point.

I love the snooze button!

Anyone else?

I've gone through snooze-button phases, but now I just set two alarms, one for 10 minutes before I have to get up and then for the time I really want hehe. I'm glad someone else is the same way!!; August 15, 2009 at 10:04 AM

Mars said...: ME! I set one alarm for about 45 min before I REALLY need to get up...and then one for the REAL time I neeed to get up. I hit snooze like 3-4 times & love the extra sleep. Then when the final one goes off I know that I HAVE TO get up.

I could probably just set it for the time i need to get up but either way, I'll be tired & want to hit snooze, so might as well set it early so I can keep hitting snooze & get that satisfaction then get up when I HAVE TO.

ok I'm weird. I don't make sense. I love the snooze button too :); August 16, 2009 at 1:21 AM
