Bright Star
John Keats- 1819

Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art---
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth's human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors---
No---yet still stedfast, still unchangeable,
Pillowed upon my fair love's ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
And so live ever---or else swoon in death.

love, Maddie Violet

p.s. Needless to say, I am dying to take British literature: The Romantics, which will be happening this fall.

I want to write

2012-01-28T19:28:00.000-08:00

but I'm in a shlump.

I want to kind of test out my creative writing/any writing skills I have, so what should I write about?

Give me any topic. Or ask some questions for me.

love, Maddie Violet

team

2012-01-16T16:43:00.000-08:00

I am going to miss my lovely team so much! I just cry thinking I won't see them everyday. My favorite is mocking Josh with Shanese. We try to talk in a really deep voice and say, "Look at my muscles. I'm so cool, every girl loves me. ... etc." I'm going to miss singing off tune, and all those great ringback tones like, How to Love (probably not the real name), Mozart (weirdly enough), and I'm sexy and I know it. We even just got a new addition to our team, Stephen. He seemed really cool, but I don't know him too well, hence the new addition and me not being there anymore. And Josh.... is just Josh. Loves sandwiches, older women, dresses decently, and gets a heck of a lot of apps. However, I am convinced most of those phone calls are women who hear his deep voice because they can't see him wink to them over the phone.

If people could see me over the phone some way, I'd still be there. haha. I will miss Renee's gospel dvd's on the portable. It was fun to sway and say "Amen!" And no one will ever come close to Shanese's sass. That girl is the cutest, sassiest thing. We had so many great moments talking about guys who wear dark jeans, and moccasins. I am going to miss all of these fun fun times. A lot of people hate their job, but I loved mine. Really and truly.

I hope all of the people I talked to and got apps for really do go back to school. Furthering your education is so important and can help you go so far and reach every potential. I loved talking with people. Working at Response was a great experience and I'm grateful Heavenly Father let me be there as long as I could be there.

love, Maddie Violet

p.s. Love you team! I'll miss you more than you will ever know. And that is really the real truth. :)

This is what I love

2012-01-14T18:12:00.000-08:00

Being okay with my six year non marriage plan. I'm not against marrying young, but I want to find me before a we.

Sara B. . . she knows how it feels to be a total basket case, and uncharted.
Doesn't the word uncharted sound nice? I close my eyes and imagine a giant bubble bath, a size six swimming suit, the romantics and fancy drinks... like an ice filled diet coke in a pretty glass.

Work. I love being at work. I love my job. I love my co workers. We've added some more to our team, a good addition I think. Now we have a too nice redhead, sass you've never seen, asian muscle flexer and arabic speaker who's also resourceful. I LOVE my team. just in case you didn't already know.

Planet Fitness. Who knew a gym could be so nice? I love the atmosphere, especially when no one judges because you're about dying laughing when your leg is pretty much killed after doing tons of lunges. Working out with my sister is fun and she is a good little trainer.

Best friends. I call my best friend and we think we'll talk for 15 minutes and that 15 quickly turns into a good 45. I am so grateful for my friends. I can't imagine my life without advice, talking about jumpsuits, temptations, and the strength of women being greater than a man's.

School. I love sitting on the front row and being the first one to talk in a group project. I love learning with other people and discussions. School makes me feel accomplished and grateful that Heavenly Father wants me there.

Primary. I love my primary children. They have bright testimonies of the Gospel and I am grateful to teach sweet spirits who love being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Acai Blueberry covered in dark chocolate. Costco. Go get some.

love, Maddie Violet

no ice

2012-01-09T12:49:00.000-08:00

I have a whole case of Diet Coke, but no ice. Here's the bummer... Ice won't fit in my freezer.

Today I started my classes at Utah Valley University. I have class from 8-12 and after going to the first day of my classes, I know I will be a very stressed out young lady come next week. This semester will be hard and long, but I'll manage. . . hopefully.

My Day :

6:00 a.m. wake up

8:00 a.m. in class

12:00 a.m. out of class

3:35 p.m. go to work

8:00 p.m. leave work

8:15 p.m. @ Planet Fitness

9:15 or 9:30 p.m. at apartment/make dinner

10 p.m. read scriptures/pray/sleep

love, Maddie Violet
let's hope this doesn't kill me.

i can do hard things

2012-01-04T10:27:00.001-08:00

Heavenly Father will provide a way even if it seems that way is somewhere far away with the gate covered in locked padlocks or maybe just plain invisible. Today is hard. It makes everything else hard. Even though I am worried sick to death, the sun is shining, my family loves me, I've got a Diet Coke with ice, and my faith is too big of a plant now to be cut down.
Love, Maddie Violet

in the year two thousand and eleven

2011-12-31T22:34:00.000-08:00

This year was full of a lot of things that surprised me and made me better. I enjoyed it. Some things I've learned :

-I can go to college and pass. Yay! I really am picturig people standing and clapping their hands til they feel like hot plates. I'm sorry, but,getting through my first semester of college was and is an accomplishment.

-My family makes me happy and annoyed and most the time, dellusional. But my heart is just too attached for me to ever not love them. What would I ever do without my hilarious family?

-I know with my whole heart that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is true! I know who I am and I know God's plan. I have complete intentions of choosing the right. I love this Gospel too much to ever slip away.

-My job is wonderful. I love working with my team. If you want some sass, some asian, and some really great talks about relationships... just come to the 4 o'clock shift.

-Along with my job, I've talked with people who are struggling.It breaks my heart when I hear them tell me about their sad situations. My heart just hurts for them. I have cried many times over their situations when I'm in my car on the way home. Sometimes it is really hard for me because every single part of me wants those people to feel Heavenly Father's love for them so much, they can't even stand it. I did feel like I couldn't do anything, but then I remembered prayer. I know the power of prayer is real. I don't know if that one man found the missionaries for help with some Christmas presents for his children. I don't know if the kind lady with the accent found hope in the Gospel during the time of discovering she had cancer, or the man who felt he had to bear all of his trials alone has found hope in the love of the Savior. But there is something I do know. I know that Heavenly Father hears our prayers and so I have faith that I can help in some little way.

-Bronte and Tori are wonderful friends. I am so grateful for the example they set for me. I am so grateful for our chats on the phone. I love the talks over the phone that end in excitement. I could never ask for better friends. Heavenly Father knows I need them. I am sure that we were great friends in the pre-existence.

-Jessica, Bailey and Raquel are my great roomies. There is never a dull moment in my house. I love them and their sweet spirits. I am grateful for the late night talks, laughing way too much and the loud toothbrushes. We have such a grand old time. haha... oh the moments in G421. NEVER a snooze.

-I love English.

-Old Television is my chocolate truffle.

-I love being with my grandparents. I love my extended family. I love family parties.

Happy New Year! Cheers!

love, Maddie Violet

Christmas Events

2011-12-27T13:55:00.000-08:00

First of all, Christmas day was wonderful. I got ready and went with my mom and brother to church. It was so lovely and it really brought the focus of Christ's birth. The meeting was basically everyone singing Christmas hymns and you could really feel the spirit.

Santa brought me some cute things. I am one lucky girl. Here are a few of my favorite things (received from Santa #1 and Santa #2):
-Fossil Purse
-String of pearls from Macy's on 34th street NY
-Fossil backpack
-Pearl earrings
-Anthropologie clothing
-MY FAVORITE ..... Ray Bans. I did cry when I opened them. Who knew getting sunglasses could be that amazing?

Christmas has been absolutely wonderful this year. I have loved every second with my family and friends! I know that Jesus is the Son of God and that he was born into this world to save us. I am so grateful for His example and I know He lives!

kick that fat to the curb hand out like a stop sign ; i'm that cool

2011-12-23T21:10:00.000-08:00

change.

This led me to letting Bridger act as a personal trainer.

I haven't worked out that hard in a LONG time and I needed it.

Things I yelled out were, "I hate you!" and "Shut up! Just shut up!"

This sweaty body needs a hot shower and a comfy bed. [tmi. sorry.]

Soon this body won't be sweating because of fat, but because it'll be so hot, yo mommas will be jealous. I can't believe I actually just typed that, but I did.

All the while of working my big butt off, I pictured a cute dress, long hair, white teeth and a handsome MAN. Yes, a MAN not a boy.

love, Maddie Violet
p.s. bronte, jessica, bailey, and especially raquel would be proud.

Am I blind?!

2011-12-19T21:07:00.000-08:00

In my apartment, my bed is against the north wall and in my mothers condo, my bed is against the south wall. When I sleep at my house, my face is out away from the wall and at mothers, my face is toward the wall.

Over the break I am sleeping at mothers. The other night I woke up and my face was one inch away from the wall. Promptly, I thought I was blind. The only thing I could see was the blank wall and I thought, "Oh my. I've gone blind!!! I've gone blind!!!" I continued to rub my eyes and stare at the wall. Then I rolled over to realize that I hadn't gone blind after all.... wow. Talk about being disoriented. Funny funny. I mean, who wakes up in the night and thinks they've gone blind?!

I went to Old Navy the other night and saw Kate Ladd. That girl is about the cutest thing there. I think she was wearing mustache keds and if she was, that just makes her more wonderful.

I have not seen my friends in SO long! Never in my whole life have I been so excited to see my dear, dear friends.

Well, tomorrow I've got a story about an Olive Garden cup. I can't share all the goodness in one post. And some exciting news... I am finally getting my hair cut tomorrow! Hallelujah!

love, Maddie Violet

p.s. have you ever thought you went blind? My mom thought she forgot to put pants on the other day.... and THESE are the days of our lives.

the morning where you wake up and say it's going to be a good day...

2011-12-06T07:55:00.001-08:00

And then you walk out to a completely flat tire. Yep, there's my life in a nutshell. It actually turned out okay though.

Today that happened to me, but I have to best mother in the world who drove from PG to Orem to take me to school and Libby who was so wonderful to pick me up from school today. I am so grateful to live near family. I don't know what I would do if they weren't so close.

On the bright end of the spectrum, (wow, that's an astronomy word which makes this a little proud moment.... anyway...) I am finishing up a research paper about Julie & Julia. I don't mind doing research on it because it's something I enjoy and I've learned so much about my writing process. I have hit a wall during my research, but Diet Coke and chocolate covered cinnamon bears put me into focus again.
My apartment is so cute and totally decked out in Christmas decorations. I love it! It makes me want to snuggle up with a blanket and drink hot chocolate. (I say snuggle up with a blanket, because I don't have a street address in the dating world.)

I am so grateful for my room mates, and that we're clean and nice to each other and that we have fun and laugh. They are a blessing in my life and I know that I live here in G421 for a reason, even though it's freezing.

Today a kid in math gave me a piece of gum and it was so nice of him to give everyone gum. What a good kid.

Anyway, my life is going swell and even though I'm not in high school anymore, I still find myself hanging out with my mom and brother every weekend, but I'm okay with that. I love college, and I love that this semester is days from being over. Praise the heavens!

love, Maddie Violet

dating :: no this isn't a pitiful cry out about the girl who never gets asked out. although I could write about that too, I won't

2011-11-15T19:32:00.001-08:00

Conversation at work always revert back to women and men and relationships. Why? Probably because it is such a general subject and pretty much every person has a thought or two about it.

Most of the time I just sit there and laugh about what the guys say and then shortly I'd like to punch them because women are the best thing to walk this earth. *getting off the soap box*

Tonight the joking and "all talk" became a heated discussion about the guys being corrupt. I think they say some things that shouldn't be said about women in front of women, but I do think they are good guys all around. I just had to laugh a little driving home when I was thinking about all of it. Be careful what you say because someone there, no matter where you are, may get offended and spout off for a good 20 minutes about what they have to say.

When I hear these conversations about women and men I see how much the world has changed and what the norms are for today in the dating/relationship world. So much is expected, things are read wrong, and people are too afraid.

And me and my dateless self just sits there and thinks, "All I want is to walk around temple square and maybe get a hot chocolate."

If I said that statement aloud, I'm sure I would hear, "Who's the guy?" "How long have you known him?" "Think this could turn into something serious?"

Why do we analyze? It just makes life so complicated.

I just want to go out one date where we just go and have fun and forget about everything else.

love, Maddie Violet

p.s. sorry this was a rant.

sorry sorry

2011-11-11T11:58:00.000-08:00

Some things are just too wonderful. I apologize for not blogging about life in a while. So here's what goin' down in the life of a college girl who hates astronomy.

I love UVU's library database Academic Search Premier. Holy moly. My first time using the database, I just sat there smiling and feeling so giddy. Is it okay to be giddy about a database? Nope, but I am weird and that's just how it goes.

Somehow it seems like I am the only red head who wears a fur lined coat and listens to primary songs while wandering about campus. I love that I'm a nonconformist. I'm also that girl who wears a bright yellow coat and a magenta coat. And don't you little worry, my research paper is about the controversies with the Julie and Julia Project.

I love love love my job! I help people go back to college and it feels so good to be really serving people. I also absolutely love my team. My life would be boring without them. They're teaching me everyday... mostly how to *spit game* HAHAHA. Laughing so hard.... Also the guys never fail to mention how women need to make men sandwiches. I did once. And now the feminist streak in me is ashamed.

Life is wonderful and Christmas is coming!

love, Maddie Violet

p.s. Check out Bronte's blog here. It is fantastic!

to all the men :

2011-11-02T12:39:00.001-07:00

well I read Keats and Poe and have a bangin' set of listening skills.

love Maddie Violet

it's friday

2011-10-28T22:00:00.000-07:00

I didn't get down and I'm not partyin'

Here's what I did tonight :

First, let me say that work was so fun and I just laughed and laughed and talked to so many wonderful people with cheery dispositions.

I got to eat pizza at my mothers.

I came home, and I laid on the couch with my floral comforter and two very large fluffy pillows while watching Eloise at Christmastime.

My eyes were tired from stress so I fell asleep through it.

Woke up and then had a bubble bath. Not just any ordinary bubble bath.
- I had a little dim lamp instead of the harsh florescent light of the bathroom. Michael Buble was playing on my iPod and I read Bright Star Letters.

Now I am drinking a cup of hot chocolate and watching Sense & Sensibility.

My room smells like Anastasia's Attic.

Seriously, this is so wonderful.

love, Maddie Violet

p.s. I sound like an old person... oh well.

co president

2011-10-26T20:47:00.001-07:00

I am co president of a feminist movement.

Just ask my best friend.

and some days

2011-10-22T20:37:00.000-07:00

you actually like going to work. Seriously, I love my team at work. We have so much fun just talking and laughing.

reject

2011-10-19T20:05:00.000-07:00

Today I was feeling really great and then I think a big reject stamp hit my forehead. It kind of hurt.

Cheers!

2011-10-14T22:04:00.000-07:00

I've decided that I should get a camera someday so that I can take pictures of my cute room and post them on my bog. I need to.

No one has tagged me, but I want to say 7 obscure things about myself just for fun. Here it goes:

-I love to brush my teeth, mouthwash and finish with Burt's Bees chapstick. It's a blast of freshness.

-When something is so beautiful, almost ethereal, I stop breathing for a minute and then my body screams for air.

-I love love love Christmas lights.

-I wear a wishbone necklace for luck.

-If respect for legible, pretty handwriting still exsisted, I would love to teach a Penmanship class.

-I hate anything with cooked fruit in it. I can't handle the texture and then I start panicking and waving my arms like a 7-year-old child and then repeat, "uh uh! uh uh! uh uh!" And all the while I am nodding my head no.

-I love the Twilight Zone with Rod Serling.
(funny side story)
One day I cleaned out my car and threw away a dash duster because the handle was broken off. That same day after cleaning the car, my mom, brother and I were going shopping or something and my brother pulls out the same duster with the handle perfectly attached. I really thought I was in the Twilight Zone, until my brother told me he replaced it because he knew I'd been watching Rod Serling all day.

love, Maddie Violet

these are a few of my favorite things

2011-10-11T09:25:00.000-07:00

here's what I love today:

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!

My cinnamon roll air wick.

The cute black and orange pumpkin tinsel my mom bought me.

My bedspread. It's just really pretty.

My Mary Poppins umbrella, because I want to be practically perfect in every way.

The Christmas Lights on my bookshelf.

Hot Chocolate.

Wuthering Heights.

Doing well in Math.

Pumpkins.

love, Maddie Violet

what do you love today? or who... haha.
-I also feel like singing everything today.

today?

2011-10-03T19:29:00.000-07:00

I skipped Astronomy to go home and eat a grilled cheese and some tomato soup.

Work was good.

It's nice for someone to appreciate my nerdy personality.

I watched some Andy Griffith.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is TRUE!

My bedding is just cute. I like it.

I am reading a great book called The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. So good!

love, Maddie

math

2011-09-29T09:15:00.000-07:00

Usually I struggle with math, but in my college math class I've been doing pretty well. Today we started on scientific notation/exponents and the properties thereof.

I struggled to understand today and my teacher was just blatantly rude to me and impatient, which resulted in crying in my car on the way home.

I don't hate many things, but today I hate math and I hate that I can't understand it as well as my teacher. If I did understand it like my teacher does, she wouldn't be so impatient and just tell me I'm wrong and get snippy because I don't understand.

love, Maddie Violet

p.s. I need a diet coke. Really bad. Should I blow a dollar on a diet coke?

grateful

2011-09-16T22:40:00.000-07:00

I know Heavenly Father is real and I am so grateful for the blessing of His love for me. I just know that He has a plan for me and if I work hard and do all that I can to live the Gospel in every moment of my life, I will be happy and successful in all that I do.

What are you grateful for today?

love, Maddie Violet

somedays like today

2011-09-11T21:42:00.001-07:00

First on the tip top of the hat, I love America! She certainly is beautiful!

The church is true! Tess Fontanetti gave a perfect talk and it really helped me.

My grandpa gave my uncle a much needed blessing and boy was the spirit strong.

I got to go to dinner with best friend Bronte which was SO needed! And we laughed and laughed. Check her blog out {here}.

I love swimming. Leisure swimming that is.

I like writing. I really do.

Right now on somedays, like today, I just want to go back to PG and ditch Orem. Which is sad because I think I go home almost everyday. I just love the feeling of home.

I really hate astronomy. Sometimes I think we should just enjoy the beauty of stars and be glad that Heavenly Father created something beautiful, without having to know every little fact about them.

I am soon to be owner of real cat eye glasses from the day.

If you asked me if I want hot chocolate and a scarf paired with a pea coat I'd say yes...

And a date to the capitol theater to see the Nutcracker.

love, Maddie Hall

p.s. I also feel a large need in my life for a pair of Magenta tights.
and how is today for you?

spill

2011-09-06T19:16:00.000-07:00

sometimes I just need another _________ in my life. I could talk, and then get advice and enjoy some intelligent conversation. Yeah.

a good spill is what my overflowing cup of thoughts needs.

love, Maddie Violet

p.s. I like the old stuff. That's for sure. Let's keep it that way.

no longer the invisible woman

2011-09-02T15:36:00.000-07:00

I just got a comment from a cute guy about my red TOMS. I feel really cool right now. haha. Makes up for being the invisible woman. College is great. So great!

nerves

2011-08-28T09:24:00.001-07:00

i am so nervous for school tomorrow I am dying a little on the inside. Just the thought of math and textbooks and the fact that my classes are on opposite ends of campus makes me want to cry. Oh gosh. I am so so so nervous! But, I am grateful because I know Heavenly Father is watching over me and I am so glad that I can have the spirit there with me so I don't have to be nervous! I love Sunday and I am really excited to go to church today. Wish me luck for school. I might need it.

love, Maddie Violet

I like my letter necklace. a lot.

2011-08-26T09:27:00.000-07:00

i'm shining like fireworks over your sad empty town

2011-08-25T21:57:00.000-07:00

love that...

well

2011-08-23T19:11:00.000-07:00

So I moved. This is my address -

1270 W 1130 s G421 Orem, UT 84058

feel free to mail me a nice letter. I like mail.

I watch way too much Andy Griffith. I know every episode up to 114.

I am going to UVU.

I love my box spring... seriously does wonders.

Now having to be more adult, I find myself worrying about different things...

and forgetting to eat dinner. haha.

so glad my mom lives 15 minutes away.

love, Maddie Violet

p.s. what's your address? I can mail you nice letters.

bright star

2011-08-17T18:02:00.000-07:00

every one who loves love needs to see bright star.

if you don't have it, call me and borrow my copy.

I really love today. It's been nice.

2011-08-16T16:47:00.000-07:00

Today I started reading Ophelia: a novel. I forgot how much I love it and love that it's her perspective through the story of Hamlet. I highly suggest you all read it because it is wonderfully written.

I also got on my computer to check the blogs I follow and congratulations to Megan! She is such a doll and I am very sure her wedding will be so lovely! You two seem like the perfect couple. Seriously.

My car, (Marwin) is finally all repaired. Thank you Dad!

I am so excited for my move on Friday! I can't wait to meet all of the girls and I'm already sure that we'll have a grand old time!

Tori is moving to SUU. She'll be the cutest nerd there. And I say that with love because I am also a nerd. I love her and will miss her. She is a wonderful young lady. So to all of the curly haired quiet men at SUU, you better ask her out!

Bronte. Good thing this girl is only a city away because I may have some small breakdowns and call her or go to kneaders to get a treat. If they had a contest at BYU for the best legs, she'd win. . . but it's BYU so they probably don't. haha. College will be good. Plus, she's got a potted plant so that makes her even cooler.

I am going to miss them. so much!

My mother is wonderful. Even though she laughs at me for saying golly all of the time, I'm sure I'll miss her and she'll miss me. And my brother Bridger will be bored out of his mind.

I just love today and I'm grateful for the Gospel. It puts me in line and keeps me going.

love, Maddie Violet

college

2011-08-11T21:57:00.000-07:00

The thought of roaming through UVU trying to find class just makes me want to cry. Living with new people in a new place and a new ward really is going to change me for the better, but I am so nervous. I shouldn't be THAT scared about it that it makes me a little sick. Heavenly Father knows what I need. That's why I have to be brave and go in as me, Maddie.

I know I will definitely be needing to choose the right each day, because I'm going to need some comforting. Another hard part for me is being away from friends, being away from the inside jokes and the nerdy things we enjoy. I guess that we make new friends as we move on in life. No one said it was easy, but I'm sure that Heavenly Father is right there with us. But don't get me wrong; I'm totally going to be pen pals with all of my friends so we can't catch up on life.

I am going to be more social and I will go on a date and hopefully get a job because I do need one badly. Just trust in Heavenly Father and His plan. That's all I need to worry about.

love, Maddie Violet

p.s. any advice? ..about anything? i need some.

work it

2011-08-09T20:39:00.000-07:00

I am going to work out every day for 30 minutes starting today. Which, I did more than 30 minutes today so hopefully I'll keep it up.

Also, the thought of college and of being out on my own is making me want to cry a little, but I am very excited! Let's see who I room with. Here's to zero privacy for one whole year!

love this ring

2011-08-09T09:55:00.001-07:00

Gap

2011-08-01T06:24:00.000-07:00

I love Gap. It is my favorite store. Half of my closet is filled with pretty clothing from Gap because I go to the additional 40% off sales. I find myself wandering in a lot and looking at all of the new displays up front and then heading to the back to check out things I can afford. A couple months ago when I reached the register to buy a darling shirt, the nice girl noted that I come in a lot and I should really apply for a job there. Sadly, when I went to apply there was nothing, but yesterday I checked and there was an opening at the Orem store! I applied. So people, let's hope I get it. Unless it's not the right thing of course. . . But we can still hope. I have to pay rent and buy groceries somehow! Have a wonderful day today!

love, Maddie Violet

I love the show

why do women bother with love? with men? with crying over men? love is something we'll never resist

2011-07-24T01:05:00.000-07:00

Tonight was so fun! I had a girls night with Sophie and Shaunzi. We laughed so so so hard and talked and drank a lot of soda. I also ate some kettle corn, which tasted fantastic! Of course we watched the notebook and talked about guys, even though Sophie's married, she still will listen to the single gals spout off about wishing for love, having a love, being mad (ticked off) about love and even crying over love. Sometimes, I wonder why this and that happened or why I'm not perfect enough, or why my constant support won't give me luck for lovin'. Tonight I know why.

Because I am Maddie Violet. And I don't settle. I won't settle. I can't settle for a man without an ironed shirt. I am a strong woman and I deserve a guy who will love me until his hands are holding mine so tight he'll never want to let go.

love, Maddie Violet

p.s. Red lip kisses would be as sweet as a spoonful of honey on a warm day.

mink coats, new shirts, and one expensive scout shirt

2011-07-21T16:31:00.000-07:00

So my dad is moving into a house on main street in AF. Let's just say, the old ladies stuff was still there. I got 2 real mink coats, old vintage handkerchiefs, and books... lots of books! Today my brother and I dived into D. I. and Savers to find a dang scout shirt. We went to the scouting store and for a scout shirt it was $50.00. What the? On a scout shirt? Luckily we found one at Savers and I strolled over to Down East to look around. There was a really cute shirt for $7.50, but I am poor and it's an arm and a leg to fill my car. My brother is so kind and wanted me to have it. He said that I've bought a lot for him, so he can spare 8 bucks for a shirt. I love him. What a good kid. Well I hope you all have a wonderful night!

love, Maddie Violet

it's just a number

2011-07-19T11:58:00.000-07:00

Some days it feels like my goal weight will never come.

Today is one of those days. I wanted to test the really nice flat iron that Libby is letting me use when I move out. After I actually straightened my hair today, I realized why I don't usually do that; it gives a clear view of my double chin.

I am trying to change that, but it's hard. Life would probably seem a little easier for me if I was just born with that body type, but I wasn't. Heavenly Father does have to let us have some trials, even though they are hard. So here's to weight watchers for so many many more weeks of my life.

Love, Maddie Violet

2011-07-12T17:00:00.000-07:00

Today I signed a lease for my new apartment. I will be sharing it with 3 random girls. how fun, scary, and exciting. I also now feel super old.

anna, english bloke, witchery

2011-07-09T16:22:00.000-07:00

Today I am grateful for Anna, my little niece who is now 1! Yay! I am grateful for the fun time I had in Poky with my cousin Abby. Guess what? I met a real guy from real England! He was super nice and he called his bike seat a saddle. He commented on my earrings and my TOMS. He likes TOMS. I went to a hippie store. A girl came in while we were there and she was a real hippie! I saw a witch house. Right when I walked up and peeked in the window, it felt like I was in a time warp. Everything in there was so so so old! When I looked in, a huge gust of wind came up and blew my hair all over the place. We had so much fun and I will post pictures soon!

love, Maddie Violet

and this, was her glass slipper...

2011-07-05T14:04:00.000-07:00

I love Ever After. It is such a wonderful movie. Every time I watch it or start to hear the music, I want to cry. Which is weird and I don't know why, but I do.

Any other good romance movies I should watch?

true love

2011-07-03T13:30:00.000-07:00

Being a woman, I picture being in love, true love, as a perfect Jane Austen story or Bright Star without the lover dying.

But today, I pictured love and the perfectness of love as sharing the love of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints; wanting to live the Gospel and wanting the blessings of the temple and of living righteously together in patience with each other.

I want to be in love someday with a man who wants to help me and who wants help to get to the Celestial Kingdom.

Don't get me wrong, I still want a nice little romance like in the books. But mostly, I look for a guy who loves the Lord and loves Heavenly Father. I want to be with someone who looks for the opportunities to serve people and to serve his family and most importantly, Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ.

True love to me, is loving the Gospel together and wanting the blessings that come from an eternal marriage, but also wanting those blessings for the other person and wanting to share eternity loving someone with your whole heart. I hope I can love someone like that; with a love that almost causes strain on my heart because it's so lovely.

love, Maddie Violet

Music

2011-06-28T19:34:00.000-07:00

so... lately I'm into alternative music.

which is kind of weird for me.

but I like it. A lot.

Today I was thinking about a bucket list. . . here's some things I hope to cross off.

-Go on a date with an English boy and talk in English slang.

-I've been to concerts, but not a rock concert. I want to go to a real rock concert.

-Buy something that's way too much money. like the beautiful handbag I want so so so badly.

Anna

2011-06-27T14:30:00.001-07:00

My niece is such a lovely girl. I just had to post a picture.

2011-06-26T09:01:00.001-07:00

Sometimes you just have to smile, pretend everything's okay, hold back the tears, and just walk away.

oh

2011-06-25T16:03:00.000-07:00

I feel like I sit in the same spot when everyone around me is going places, doing great things and living life.

Sometimes, it seems that to do anything these days, you have to be crafty, or have money.

Neither of those things do I have.

So until then... I guess I'll just do whatever, try to be crafty. Fat chance of the craftiness though.

Being this bored makes me want to do something rash.

Maybe I'll paint my room.

my heart is, and always will be, yours. -edward ferrars

2011-06-23T21:12:00.000-07:00

I need to watch some Jane Austen romance.
(Do any guys like them? Someone do feel free to answer...)

I want to go on a date with Benedict Cumberbatch or Ben Whishaw.

Some times, I'd just like a guy to not be afraid of me.

Heavenly Father has a nice bloke just for me. One who wouldn't mind watching some BBC, listening to 94.1, and my frizzy-Mrs.-Weasley-hair. And... a man who knows I like pickles on my Subway sandwich.

Heavenly Father knows what is best for my life and loves me. I am grateful for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I am thankful for my family. They keep me in check; especially my brother Bridger. He is wise and only 13, though soon to be 14. The old kid will always give me good guy advice.

Do you need some romance?

yes, thank you very much.

love, Maddie Violet

allergies...
leave me alone. I have never had you in my life and I don't really want you now.

last night when I went walking, I was thinking how nice it would be to have a guy to go to a movie with or just go get a smoothie with. guess I'll give my cousin a call.

reading is good. especially when I have nothing to do.

I need a job.

Weight Watchers works.

The church is true.

2011-06-14T09:04:00.000-07:00

I have been on weight watchers for almost a week now and I am already seeing a difference! I absolutely love love love it! They teach you moderation. Let's be honest here, everyone needs a little moderation in life, especially me. haha. I went walking with Libby last night and did 3 miles. It felt so good! I am already feeling better and results make me want to just keep going and going.

Sometimes in life, we aren't choosing the wrong, but we aren't on a spiritual high a lot of the time. This summer, I have felt that way. I am positive it's because I wasn't reading the scriptures. Well, I have been reading my scriptures and trying to live the Gospel with exactness. My week has started so nicely and I feel so much more in tune with the spirit. I am so grateful for the love of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ! I know that the church is true! I am grateful that Heavenly Father created this beautiful world so that we might enjoy nature!

I hope you all have a wonderful day today and remember who put the sun in the sky!

Cheers!

love, Maddie Violet

Taking a Crack at Creative Writing... comments are completely appropriate.

2011-06-10T17:08:00.001-07:00

With a scarred heart, I took down the decoration of friendship, maybe even love; a symbol between two people with a string to connect their spirit's. It wasn't a generic show of affection like chocolate, roses or a heart. But a reminder that meant so much more than any other motif of love.

The first time I tried to let it go, I cried. I cried tears that silently flowed off of my cheek to drip onto my dark jeans. Some things are hard to let go. I couldn't throw it away. I wasn't ready for the presence to be vacant and me to be aware that it wouldn't exist anymore to comfort my thoughts.

Irony. It has to arrive sometime. I did take it down. In its place, I hung a heart. Light shimmers through the colored panes of the heart onto the soft interior. The first time the heart was in its place, ready for the trial; it hummed. The heart hummed a song of sadness because I knew what used to be in its place.

As moments pass, the humming has become a song of comfort with me and who I am. I threw the old one away, and it truly has left my life completely. You know something? I'm wonderful. I love me and the heart that adheres there is a symbol of love for myself, confidence, improvement.

Today I see a new beginning of hope to find myself.

yum!

2011-06-09T10:07:00.000-07:00

So, for graduation, my dad gave me a cook book and a really cute apron which will come in great use. The book I was given is an old Better Homes and Gardens recipe book. The cover is checkered like a picnic blanket and it's worn out a bit from use. I was wondering what year it's from because it tells you things like, what to make when your husbands boss is company for dinner, how to pack your child's lunch, and table settings for different occasions. I was curious so having google, and amazon, I found it! Sure enough, it is from the year 1953! How swell is that? Well, It's pretty swell you crazy kids! I am so excited to bake some of the recipes! If you'd like to sample some, feel free to give me a call! I will absolutely be posting pictures of what I will be whipping up. Have a fantastic Thursday! Cheers love!

graduation

2011-06-02T20:21:00.001-07:00

folks, I'm not in high school!!! Yes!

fire

2011-05-27T15:06:00.000-07:00

As women, when we want to forget about something, or put it behind us, such as a stupid boy, or stupid homework.... we burn the items that remind us of that memory. We burn the hurt, the tears, and the stress away.

My friends and I will be doing this tonight.

Believe that we will be wearing tribal make up and chanting.

Because we deserve the smell of burning notes and love with a smore on the side.

We're still learning what love is, we're still learning what life is going to be like when we're all grown up. . . Good ending to high school.

-Well, I think so anyway.

self image

2011-05-24T16:41:00.000-07:00

here it is...

I am admitting one of my hardest things to deal with.

My self esteem. My body image.

Being the size I am isn't easy. At all. It's really hard to hear girls that are smaller than me talk about how they wish they'd loose a few pounds.

I have struggled with it for a really long time. Too long. I do mope about sometimes because of it. Weight is just a number but it stares at me all the time. And yes, I do even cry about it sometimes because maybe that's why I don't get asked out ever. But then I read something that changed my feelings ::

"You can be excellent in every way. You can be first class. There is no need for you to be a scrub. Respect yourself. Do not feel sorry for yourself. Do not dwell on unkind things others may say about you. Polish and refine whatever talents the Lord has given you. Go forward in life with a twinkle in your eye and a smile on your face, with great and strong purpose in your heart. Love life and look for its opportunities, and forever and always be loyal to the Church." -President Gordon B. Hinckley

"We can improve, and when all is said and done that's what this is all about: improvement, changing our lives so that we can help people change their lives and be better; building Zion on the earth." -President Gordon B. Hinckley

1. I need to love the body Heavenly Father has given me. I need to work on those things that I am good at and enjoy.

2. There is always room for improvement. I can be better and do those things to make me feel better about myself, like exercise. Not only this, but spiritual improvement needs to exist too.

Heavenly Father helps us through our challenges, but only we can change ourselves. If I want it I'll do something about it and I will seek Heavenly Father's help so that I can be strong enough to do it.

giving you...

2011-05-17T21:29:00.001-07:00

Keats every week. You'll be sure to swoon ladies. I promise!

saving

2011-05-14T18:14:00.000-07:00

I just updated something and it said, "you have been saved." my first thought was, "I hope that's what I'll be told at the Second Coming." Second thought? ... for these latter days. haha. I thought that was pretty funny.

sees chocolate

2011-05-11T13:54:00.000-07:00

Last week and this week have been garbage... and that's to say the least. My poor little niece probably (and by probably, I mean most very likely) has xp. Which means that the lovely is allergic to the sun. So sad, but you know what? Heavenly Father will be watching out for my sister and her cute little family like never before and they will grow so much through this challenge and I admire them for that.

I've managed to cry about a dozen times within the last 7 days. Sometimes it's hard to never get asked out and as soon as you think you might, it never happens and the friendship is non existent. I want to meet new people and do new things. I talked with my grandpa and he was telling me that I should go on a mission. I have seriously been thinking about that and I will know when that time comes if I truly have the will to do that. I love my grandpa and I also admire his strength as he will be starting the battle of his life this week in foregoing cancer treatment.

Sometimes I just want to sit and cry but I mustn't because Heavenly Father loves me and He knows the desires of our hearts to do good, to love others and try our best in life. It also helps if you eat a piece of Sees chocolate once in a while.
Have a nice Wednesday my dear readers!

no one likes bloggers that blog too much but i simply have to say this ::

2011-05-06T21:47:00.000-07:00

James McAvoy's eyes are liquid pools of happiness. Blogs are great to read and laugh. My friends know me too well. Heavenly Father has a plan and aren't we lucky for that? I love today, I love learning, and I love this beautiful world.

best friends... i need them

2011-05-06T13:43:00.000-07:00

My friends always say the right things :
"I have eggs."
"Every night I fall asleep with Jane Austen."
"The cosmic forces have aligned."
"This is great for UFO sightings."

and those are only some of the things they say that makes me laugh and love them very much.

2011-05-05T12:48:00.001-07:00

this day could not be any longer. it's okay though because i love the warm sun.

doo bop doo wa

2011-05-04T07:29:00.000-07:00

Because I am me all I listen to is Frank Sinatra and the Temptations radio on Pandora. I love old music. Now music is so edited and fake. I love old music perhaps because it's real. People sang how they rehearsed. I love it. A whole lot actually! Have a swell Wednesday you crazy kid!

love Maddie Violet

sun sun sunshine

2011-05-02T13:36:00.000-07:00

you know something? I could get used to this sunshine! :) I love it! I could just listen to the Frank Sinatra station on Pandora all day and sit in the sun in my cute sunglasses. You know one of the best feelings ever? Brush your teeth, mouthwash, put on some Burt's Bees chap stick and chew a piece of mint gum. You feel so fresh! Also I highly recommend the new scent at Bath and Body Works called Apricot Vanilla. Surprisingly it smells so wonderful! If you use that lotion and put on your cute power outfit with you Burt's Bees chap stick, your sure to turn heads where ever you are! I hope you all had a short perfectly perfect Monday at school, work or whatever you might have been acquainted with today! Heavenly Father loves you and so do I!

love Maddie Violet

okay... well.... i'll just be here

2011-05-01T13:27:00.001-07:00

i was the only senior in the ward who did not go to prom. sucks. bad. oh well, high school is almost over. almost there.

anthropologie will be the death of me

2011-04-26T17:10:00.000-07:00

I would like this knit top. A whole lot.

prom. no go. but, here's my pick

2011-04-20T15:52:00.000-07:00

I'm not going to prom, but here's what I would wear ::

one more thing...

2011-04-19T17:24:00.000-07:00

Here's what I made for dinner ::

i want this so much

2011-04-19T13:16:00.000-07:00

I love love love this skirt. It's so Americana it kills me... Should I spend the money on it? I can picture the outfit now, which makes me want it even more. Dang my love for clothing

yum!

2011-04-15T15:35:00.001-07:00

Guess what? I made a strawberry pie today. It turned out rather lovely and I am happy because of it. Now I get to serve it to my friends. Don't worry, a quite large plop of whipped cream will sit nicely on top of those red ripe strawberries.

Sense and Sensibility

2011-04-05T21:06:00.000-07:00

I have watched the Ang Lee version everyday for a week now. I love it so much. When I watch it, it's as if I'm almost there in the room while Mrs. Jennings babbles on with her gossip, and Marianne talks about poetry and love... Because I do love the movie very much, in fact with my whole heart, I would that I should read the novel written by Jane Austen. So here I go... Don't plan on even getting my attention because when I read a wonderful book, I invest my thoughts into the characters lives.

lost

2011-04-04T18:22:00.000-07:00

oh where oh where has my ipod gone? i'm sad that it is lost. going to be a long ride to california. no ipod means no checking the email wednesday. ah! please let me find you!

TOMS:One for One

2011-04-02T20:38:00.000-07:00

Dear Readers, So today I was pulling my brand new TOMS out of the shoe box, and realized something. Everywhere I go I feel bad and wish that I could help other people by giving them the things they need. Obviously I'm not in any kind of finacial situation to do that so, I smiled when I looked at the back of the TOMS sticker and saw this... 5 Ways To Get Involved. I put the sticker on my car. I am receiving the documentary about how TOMS came about. I really believe in making a difference and TOMS gives back. Everytime you buy a pair of shoes, they will give back to children in the world who don't have a pair of shoes. I feel like I can really help by getting involved. I would like to host a party for TOMS, and I would like to know if any of you blog readers would be interested in it just to get some numbers of people who'd be interested. I firmly believe that we can make a difference and what better way then to buy a pair of cute shoes? I hope to get the community involved and possibly talk to KPGR about helping me. Also Artists who would be interested in volunteering to draw on shoes. I am still getting more info, but I would love if other people did it with me and would want to help. One for one. Please tell me what you think! love love love Maddie Violet

yes...

2011-04-02T10:03:00.000-07:00

I know that my Savior Loves me.

birthday...

2011-03-31T17:57:00.000-07:00

This is my birthday present...

that I positively adore.

Beautiful shoes make me happy.

here's what i baked today...

2011-03-28T15:45:00.001-07:00

Today I made white cake with rasberries and strawberries in the middle.

It turned out to be more of a cobbler, but it was still really good.

I wore my Julia Child pearls.

This picture is kind of funny because I was laughing.

2011-03-26T19:18:00.000-07:00

Don't worry. I am so very excited for General Conference!

dear...

2011-03-22T19:37:00.000-07:00

Today was a weird day.
It seems sometimes like life puts a hundred things in the way of being happy...
Lately I have felt like that. But, I know that I can go to my Heavenly Father. I know he'll be there when people aren't, and be there when I feel kind of uncool, or be there to comfort other people I love. I know the Gospel is true and I am so grateful for a Heavenly Father who loves me very much and loves the friends I love. I know that he watches over me and wants me to be happy. Because he is the only one who really knows the desires of my heart and the desires of your heart. Tomorrow is wednesday and I hope to hear something that will lift my spirits a bit.

love, Maddie Violet

darn it

2011-03-20T16:03:00.000-07:00

I feel really discouraged today.
I stepped on the wii fit and about had a heart failure.
Right now I just want to go in fetal position and cry.
How did this happen?
I don't know.
I haven't got enough time.
All I wanted to do was fit in those pair of shorts for tour.
Guess not as soon as I thought.
Better get on that treadmill and run.
and run.
and run.
and run.
and run.

2011-03-19T21:02:00.000-07:00

vacation?

2011-03-15T12:12:00.000-07:00

Went to San Fransisco.
Met a couple of attractive men.
Talked with them.
Ate the best bruschetta I've ever tasted.
Was flashed.
Exposed to a nude parade.
Felt sad for homeless people.
Bought a ring that was inspired.
Ate a yummy ice cream cone.
Watched a perfectly wonderful concert.
Met a guitar player who was totally nice, and smelled fantastic.
Shopped at H&M.
Rode a cable car, trolley.
Loved loved loved it.

formal dresses

2011-03-11T11:38:00.001-08:00

bugging

2011-03-07T13:18:00.001-08:00

So really, if I bother you or annoy you please just tell me.

Dear lovely readers,
who do you suggest I go to for senior pictures? Please help me.

love Maddie Violet

this would happen to me

2011-03-01T10:35:00.000-08:00

I just went to the bank to deposit a check and cash another one. Here's what happened :

I pulled up to the little thing and right as a grab the canister it falls on the ground. Of course my car was parked too close, so I had to get out on the passengers side.
I got down on my hands and knees only to find it's smack dab in the middle under my car. I climbed back over the passengers side and pulled my car out. I got out of my car and walk 15 feet to get the canister and pulled back up to the canister tube thing. The bank ladies got a good laugh today. hahaha.

Yep. This would happen to me.

ode to friday, birthdays, and gaggy smells

2011-02-25T14:34:00.000-08:00

Dear lovely Readers,
Fridays are bliss aren't they? Supposedly it's casual dress down day, (which, I'm not sure if I agree with that.) Today was PGHS's 99th birthday, so heres to the never ending story of High School. Go Vikings!

Today I walked into financial lit. with Bronte and immediately the reeking smell of BO practically drowned us. I could not even breathe in without gagging. Good thing I can breathe through my mouth, but thinking about that was even worse. That class gives me the sensation of two-in-the-morning-delusional. I laugh at everything even if it's not funny. Mr. Durfee makes many church references. We were discussing paying taxes when he referred to a certain family who was to be taxed and then started talking about the Old Testament. I leaned over and told Bronte to raise her hand and say, "Jesus!" The classic Primary answer. Neither of us did it.

I think today is hilarious. As far as I'm concerned, high school is funny. Especially when you just sit back and watch so many people do stupid, hilarious, amazing things.

love Maddie Violet

How do you feel about Fridays?

My Heavenly Father Loves Me

2011-02-22T21:22:00.000-08:00

Whenever I hear the song of a bird or look at the blue, blue sky, Whenever I feel the rain on my face or the wind as it rushes by. Whenever I touch a velvet rose or walk by our lilac tree... I'm glad that I live in this beautiful world Heavenly Father created for me. He gave me my eyes that I might see the color of butterfly wings. He gave me my ears that I might hear the magical sound of things. He gave me my life, my mind, my heart; I thank him reverently, for all hs creations, of which I'm a part. Yes I know Heavenly Father loves me.
