(squeak...squeak...squeak)

Ok. so on monday i think i almost burned the house down. i decided to make cookies. oreo cookies. you know the ones? with the cake mix and cream cheese frosting. the amazing ones. yeah those. So i was baking away, making awesome cookies and then i had like 2 cookies worth of cookie left over. and i didn't really feel like eating them. So i thought to myself well i'll just put them in the microwave. Now listen i have done this before and found out what happens, although not quite to the same extent, but i didn't think about that previous experience. So i put the blob of cookie dough in a little bowl and stuck it in the microwave and hit the 1 so it would cook for 1 minute.

i turned around and was getting the other cookies off the pan so i wasn't paying attention to the microwave. And should i have to watch the microwave every second?? So just as i am finishing with the other cookies there is this awful smell. And i think, did i leave something in the oven? I turn around and there is smoke everywhere. and i think, CRAP i forgot when you put cookie dough, or cookies for that matter in the microwave they cookie VERY fast and then start on fire. or start on smoke i guess would be better way to say it. So i open the microwave door and smoke comes BILLOWING out of the microwave. my next thought, CRAP the fire alarm! so i reach for the nearest pan, oh yeah, i just took that out of the oven so its HOT. i drop it on the floor and...maybe almost did say a bad word, kind of like in the christmas story, in slow motion. Only it was NOT the f--- word. so i reach for the other one. Then i start fanning and fanning like a crazy person. I open the door to the garage so the smoke can go out there. people there was A LOT of smoke, i mean A LOT of smoke. I opened the door the addition to let the smoke out there. I go fan by the smoke alarm a bit but it clearly isn't concerned that i almost started the house on fire with a blob of cookie dough so i leave that and go tie the door to the garage open so it can continue airing out the house.

I continue fanning for the next bit. The house reeks of burnt microwaveness. Most of the smoke is out of the house although its still a bit hazy. There is a large hazy cloud in the garage just chillin out. At least it wasn't in the house though. So I learned a few things through this wonderful baking experience.

1-Never put cookie dough in the mircrowave for more than like 6 seconds, cause it will try and kill you.

2-I now have zero faith in my smoke alarm. That thing should have gone off like 4 times with all that smoke. I will die if there is a fire.

3-Its only ok to do all these things if your mom's not home. Cause then she can just ask. What is that awful smell? Oh, sorry mom i was just making cookies and...burned...one....yeah....(no i really told her what happened. and laughed. a lot.)

4- i might have sustained some smoke inhalation injuries.

In other news, MY. BED. SQUEAKS. the squeak needs to die NOW. before i go insane. I already hate my bed and the squeak just makes it worse. I only have to think about moving and it starts squeakin away. ahhhhh. squeak isn't even a word anymore now that i have looked at it for so long. is that even how its spelled?

White Chicks is a very funny movie. Over the past year or so my family has seen it a few times on the tv. Everyone in my family likes it. Even my grandma thought it was funny. So, awesome sister that i am, I decided to get White Chicks for my little brother for Christmas. Its hilarious. It's just so ridiculous that you have to laugh. If you haven't seen it, quick, go rent or buy it now. Or we can watch mine! If my brother is willing to part with it...

christmas time

Happy Christmas!! My Christmas was wonderful and I hope yours was too! I like all my presents. I even got all my books!! I think one of my favorite presents though are some mittens my mom gave me. Cause. They're mittens. And they are made out of old sweaters. So very cute.

For some reason I am getting a cold again. And my last cold isn't even gone yet.
My pictures are being weird. Me and saren and a bunch of other people went skiing at the Canyons after school was over. This is the only picture I took. We were tired.



This is my brother with my hat on. I like him. And the hat. And Christmas.



Sometimes I try to be crafty.



Family Christmas party was last night! Twas a grand event with baked potatoes and cheese. My cousins from Arizona were there. And they were all grown up. And it was weird cause I swear they will always be like 3 years old. I didn't even know all of their names.

Dear snow,

stop.

ehhhhhhhh

today i wrapped all the families christmas presents. well the boys of the family. it was really fun. i like wrapping christmas presents. they are cute.

my family is charge of the Stringham family christmas party this year. so were making snow men out of 2x4's to put on the tables and then everyone will get to take one home. we are doing this cause we are adding on to my house and have lots of wood laying around. for some reason i think that its hilarious. we are being green....or recycling...or we just have lots of wood laying around...anyways i have been home alone all day. so thats why have been doing all these things to help my mom out. i even made dinner. in the slow cooker. and then i have been reading. my second book of the break!! i read the third peter pan book, that i got from the elem. library. seriously i love those books. i almost cried at the end. and now i am reading the third eragon book! its pretty good....he likes to use big words in his books. cause he thinks he's smart. and i asked for a bunch of books for christmas cause hi, i'm a nerd. but hopefully i get them. cause my mom has a hard time buying books for me. who knows why.

um. i wish i had a picture to post that was christmas related....its snowing. its been snowing alllll day. i like snow as long as i'm inside and warm. but for some reason i feel like shoveling the driveway? i have no idea why. i'm crazy.

christmas is coming!

ok. I admit. I was totally just listening to Camp Rock music. Cause I totally just got finished watching the movie on tv. Yup, thats what I do when I come home and everyone goes to bed. I watch Disney channel movies. Admit you know you've done it before. So after that fun movie watching experience, I am on the computer. It doesn't even feel like a Friday night. But it never does when I come home. Oh yeah. I am home! Today was the last day of school. It was really fun. Elementary is so fun before Christmas break. We made ornaments, and cookies, and watched a movie and had an assembly and sang Christmas songs. Its fun cause I am totally psyched for Christmas. And little kids are cute. Adorable. Even when they tell me i'm not their friend.

(ok. i am going to talk about school for just a tiny little second. did I mention that one of my classes has been canceled. As in. it no longer exists. Something to do with the current economic strain...yes it really said that...or something. so i only have 7 credits right now....i need more than that. I am taking the math review thinger...so i might be taking math next semester....gross. also...i am considering resigning up for ballet....ok. end school)

back to music. there is this song. that i really like. and it really is an awful and stupid song. but i really like it. its by akon. i really like it when it comes on the radio. with the volume all the way up. so there. get over my bad taste in music.

its cold outside. and there is lots of snow. there is a lot of snow in logan. lots and lots. but i wont be up there for a whole week.

i had something else to say....argh. i still can't think.

cold

first off. i'm sick. i have cold. a head cold. well. yes a head cold. my ears are plugged, i can't hear anything. My nose is just awful. and my eyes hurt. and my voice sounds like i just woke up, even though i've been up since 8:30.

but i went skiing yesterday at the canyons. for free! it was sooo very funny. it was really cold but the weather was perfect. i would go into more detail but my hands are cold. i love park city. i wish i could live there....or be reach and have a 2nd house or condo there. cause i love it.

i am very very sore from yesterday. and i think being sick has made it worse.
today at work was the teddy bear picnic! it was fun. i didn't have a teddy bear though.

i was talking in my sleep last night. i think i do that when i get sick. i think its creepy.

i can't think right now. so i'll be done.

sad day.

so i got my computer grade................its not good........yup.....i failed. Yes its true. I failed. i got a D. a D. dee. D. 66%. (i got 78/150 on the final. really that is soooo awful. i didn't think i did that bad though so i was kind of sad.) oh it really is horrible. but really i don't care. its over. and really thats all that matters. I feel like a HUGE weight has been lifted off my shoulders. really. so yes. the second of my schooling career. sigh. like i said though i'm just glad its done. but i did get 142/150 on my other final. which is quite good if i do say so myself.

um. its really nice not having school. Its soooo nice to get to do whatever i want and not have to worry about the homework that i'm not doing. i haven't even been on the the computer in like 3 days cause i don't have to be!!!! so very nice.


'/;.[p.pl.;pl.;[

i have to work all days this week. but i get to go skiing on wed in park city!!

it snowed. lots and lots of snow. and more snow and ice. cold.

I have nothing left to say. no school!!!!!!yaaayyy!!!!!

done.

i am done, DONE with the semester. I don't have words right now to express the feelings i feel. so i just wont talk about it.

(i just got an email about my ballet class next semester. you are required to wear a leotard and tights. so i will not be taking the class. sad day. because i refuse to wear a leotard and tights. and pink ballet slippers. which i do not own.)

i think that was all.

refocus

ok. I was doing really good on my paper....until awhile ago happened. And i stopped writing. So after this is done i will go back to writing. Cause since no one is home, they are all out to eat...sad. i refrained from going even! go me. i had a bowl of cereal. I don't have any more cereal. i finished my take home test this morning. awesome! i took my computer test this morning..........................i don't even care how i did. that has been thee most awful class ever known to man kind and i don't ever want to see or think about it again. so i won't talk about it ever again...(except if i pass...which probably wont happen) so i just have my paper to finish...3 pages...I CAN DO IT. I JUST WANT TO BE DONE. and a final at 9:30 tomwwm. and then i think i will sit down and cry for a few hours. cause thats just what i feel like doing. all the joy, grief, pain, and crap will be over. ahhhhhhhhhhhh

ps. my little brother is funny. He makes me laugh a lot in my life.

real quick.

IT IS SO HARD TO STUDY ON THE COMPUTER. I HATE IT. PLEASE END. but i have to. theres not other way. my final is tom at 7:30. my fate will then be decided. my mom thinks that i am going to be retaking this class.....yeah right. i would rather be shot. its been a good night though. my brother brought me food. that was nice. katies bf brought breadsticks from work. and seriously. i could eat all of them. the kind from papa murphys. there quite tasty. then those same folks brought me a donut. i've been eatin' real healthy as you can tell. now i am cold though cause i drank some milk. milk is healthough though.

batman is on right now. and i can't watch it. i think i might have to go in my room. i really should go to the library. i should have gone to the library hours ago. its just so coooold outside.

ok. i must be off.

its almost over

Took my first final this morning. Took 1 hour and 45 minutes. Finals are NOT supposed to take that long. I think I did pretty good...Hopefully. alkjwenoiwn

1 down.
3 1/2 to go....

I'm taking a break from the homework. I got a lot done today! But not enough. Never enough. I need to study for my computer final....but its sooooooo hard. And I need to work on my projects to......i'll stop complaining.

It snowed today. Did you notice? Yes, lovely surprise when I woke up this morning. But it was alright. Cause it wasn't to cold. I need a scraper thing for my car. Cause I don't have one. Cause I got my car this summer. When there isn't any snow. And its warm. I used my umbrella today to wipe it off to go to work. ...this is all really boring... I want to go skiing!! Or snowboarding. I am a skier but it seems that everyone and their dog do the snowboarding thing. And I have been once. It was fun, I just couldn't get off the lift. Not once. I fell every. single. time. The guy would see me coming and just slow the lift down for me. But the snowboarding part was fun.

I am excited for Christmas. I like buying Christmas presents for people. wahoooo...

green jacket.

I am feeling sort of angry right now. A little bit ago it was a lot angry. I have no idea why I feel angry I just do. i think the end of the semester might be getting to me. oh wait. this semester has already to gotten me....about 6 weeks ago.

The other day....there was a movie on....what movie was it? I think it was Hook. Yes, i believe so. So I love that show, its a good one ya know? And it was on the tv and one of my favorite parts of the movie was on. And i got all excited and choked up and was darn near tears. So after that little episode of my being crazy we decided that i am a very emotional person. When i think of an emotional person i think of a person who cries a lot. I don't cry a lot. I never cry. Like 4 times a year maybe of actual crying episodes. But times when i want to cry, or maybe even get choked up?? hmmm...i don't know, i'd say on average at least twice a week? Maybe that is not a lot, or a lot, or i am just crazy. Maybe its only once a week? One of these days i will find all those tears and will probably cry for a week straight for no apparent reason.

but back to me be angry. i am listing to some music loud at the moment. (with the earphones of course, stupid speakers) so i am feeling better. i kind of feel like crying now....just kidding.

tomwomw is my last day of class. I will never have to go to computer programming. EVER. AGAIN. I had my last homework of the semester due on wednesday. did i get it done. Yes. did the program run. NO. I COULDN'T GET THE FREAKING THING TO WORK. Still the fatal error or whatever the crap was wrong with it...now i'm angry again. Hopefully they don't think it looks the same as my brothers and i wont get in trouble for cheating....cause i spent the whole night on the stupid thing. Right now my grade is 70.4%. So the final will decide if i pass the class or not. And since I got 51% on the last test.....sigh.

work was amazing again today!!!

if your stressing out over what you can get me for christmas(because i know you all are) you can get me the new jack's mannequin cd. The Glass Passenger. Cause i like him. and i like the one song that i have. i listen to it a lot...hahahahahahahah. lkjasoifjmoweakfjslkdfjsdflkjaslkfjalkfj hahahahaha. yeah.

i feel like i need to tell a story about something that happened to me today. hm, lets see. i got to sleep in...not so exciting....can't say anything about work...uh...saren cleaned the bathroom....i didn't start on my project...yeah sorry. no stories here.

I know! I signed up for ballet!! intermediate ballet to be correct. The first one was at 8:30. There's no way that was going to happen. This one is at 9:30 so we'll see how it goes. I have signed up for a pe class every semester of my college life and i always have to drop the class for some reason. So hopefully i stay in this one. I like ballet? i hope its not hard? i have danced my whole life, i think i'll be ok? do i have to wear tights? I do like ballet though. i think its really soothing. that sounds super weird. the only ballet i have done is technique, mostly bar stuff. and i really liked it. it was calming.

i'm going to be done with this now. so i can go to bed. cause i'm exhausted.

ps. i'm not angry anymore. feelin' pretty good acutally.

Well folks...

This is it. My last computer homework. And it won't run. If anyone knows what

Debug Assertion Failure!

means I would love the help. Its due at midnight. And it won't run. I think it should work....I don't even know. I know WHERE the problem I just have ZERO ideas on how to fix it. I have been staring at it for like 20 minutes now.I want to throw my computer out the window. And the go run over it with my car...no that wouldn't be very satisfying. Maybe go jump on it then hit it with a sledgehammer a few times...now that would feel good. sigh. i'm going to cry.

When I go home for work there is sometimes this old man(looks like he doesn't have teeth, might be homeless? but i don't think so cause he is always in front of a house) sitting on a chair on the side of the road smoking. Today I saw him before work. He was riding a very small girl's bike with a puffy coat and a few of those gangsta gold chain things...it was very strange. I laughed though.

by the way. work was AWESOME today. really. it was a really good day. I wish there was more days like it. even though that won't happen. but thats ok. it was a nice break.

have you ever made a decision and then immediately regretted it for the REST OF YOUR LIFE

(not really. but i mean. in the moment it sure seems like it. and it sucks.)

dec 1

its back to school. oh oh oh. one week of class left. and about 57 hours left of homework. Not counting studying for finals. so yes. its going to be a pleasant week. But i did good today. i didn't have to work today so i went to the library! and did homework for a really really really long time. yeehaw. is that how you spell that sound. cause i don't really like it no matter how its spelled. i need to go buy food for fhe. but i don't want to get up. i just want to on the couch for the rest of my life.

the polar express is a really good movie. i love it a lot.

i like harry potter too. despite the fact that really i don't like them but really i do.

thanksgiving

thanksgiving day

- orange cinnamon rolls in the morning.
- food. lots of good food. my gma is a good cook.
- went to the movie with the fam. minus the little brother cause he is in vegas playing football. We saw Quantum of Solace. Which i must say was pretty good. I liked it.
- jon & kate plus 8 marathon! i only saw a bit of a few episodes but i love that show.
- more food.
- didn't have to watch any football.

so all in all thanksgiving was a grand day. minus not having the little brother home. its just not the same when the whole family's(?) not there.

i want to read!!!! its killing me. i hate not being able to read during the semester. i got a book from the library to read this weekend. but i wont be able to cause i have so much dang homework to do. which is what i have been trying to do all day. and i want to set up the christmas tree too. but can't do that either cause of homework. i was just on overstock and looking at all the books. i would like to buy all of them please. jk rowling has a new book that is coming out that is supposed to be one of the books that is in the last book. hermoine translated it. but i will be buying it. cause i like harry potter.

i get to go shopping later though! which i am quite excited about because i need new shoes! and i love shoes!

gobble gobble

Its Thanksgiving break!!!!! Which means I didn't have to work or go to school this morning!!!! I got to sleep in!!! so nice. But I have been doing homework all morning...and not getting very far. You see its usually a good thing to actually know how to do your homework before you do it...so its been a bit of a struggle. I just did the dishes...only there is still a sink fun cause the dishwasher was already half full...at least the sink doesn't smell funny anymore. (which i totally disgusting no matter what.)

Yesterday I saw Twilight. And like my good pal Chessie I pretty much laughed through the whole thing. Oh gosh it was so stupid. I was very disappointed. If you haven't seen it, don't. Ok so first off Edward was sooooo awkward. I mean I had to stop myself from curling up in my seat from the embarrassment. Edward is NOT supposed to be awkward. He's like 100 years old for goodness sakes. He is never at a loss for words and always smooth. That is probably what bothered me the most. The movie might have actually been good if he hadn't been so awfully horribly awkward. It was terrible. And plus his ugly hair. Seriously my favorite part was when it was all wet from the rain and wasn't 3 feet high. Bella was good. The other vampire's were pretty good, they should have been in the show more....made it more interesting. But I did get a cupcake before the movie cause there was a birthday at work!! love cupcakes.

favorite parts though: the baseball game was the best part of the whole movie. But they left out my favorite part of the book...uh...i liked that everything was so green. I knew it was green up there but it was REALLY green. i really liked all of Edwards family, I wanted them to be in the movie more. and...can't think of anything else, oh yeah. I really liked her gloves, i want some.

After the movie we went to the basketball game. It was...like a basketball game. We played Weber and were down the whole first half. But then we won. By like 20. So it was exciting.

I am going home today...as soon as I get this stupid homework done...so that means i'll probably never go home. ha...ha...ha. But i get to do homework all weekend too. yipee...i just love school... Right now I am signed up for 9 credits for next semester and there is one more class I need to take...but I think i might just stick with 9 after the semester of death I have had this fall. sigh.

weekend!!

Yesterday there was a HUGE spider in my house. MASSIVE. Saren killed it.

right now ashley is playing the recorder. She is practicing it cause apparently you have to be able to play the recorder to be an elementary teacher. I never played the recorder in elementary. I didn't even know what one was till at least jr. high. i'm not gonna lie. Its kind of annoying sounding.

i ate lunch twice today. i ate lunch at home. a gross tv dinner. i forgot that they have a teacher luncheon the last friday of the month. so i had taco salad too. cause i mean, i'm not gonna pass up good homecooked food when its around. and i'm allowed to eat it. AND peanut butter rice krispie treats. mmmmmm so good. school was crazy today. it was crazy yesterday too. crazier than usual. if thats even possible. i am really excited for thanksgiving and christmas break.

i was gonna write about something this morning but i forgot. i got utah state sweatpants today!!!! they are for christmas!!! so that means my mom pays me back for them. i take them to her and she wraps them. and i open them up on christmas morning!!! they are kinda big...super comfy though.

so i have nothing to do tonight. i was gonna home saturday for a friends wedding reception.....but i might just go home tonight....cause i don't have anything to do....which is sad cause i don't really want to go home....cause i'll be home all thanksgiving break....and....yeah. maybe i could get my mom to go see twilight....which i don't even know if i want to see...but i mean. come one. you have to go see it. how can just NOT go see this movie. even if Edward is super ugly. i guess the first book was my favorite even though i hate the fact that i have even read them at all. they really are horrible written books. i mean a good idea...but just not good writing....anyways....i'm bored already and its only 4 15. and i still can't remember what i was going to write about from this morning.

i cleaned! actually i did the dishes!

Really

I just want to curl up into a ball and die. I am SO SICK OF THIS. I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE.

rainy monday

it didn't rain today. But i did listen to that song. And i haven't listened to it in forever. and its a good song. it makes me happy.

this morning. i totally forgot to write about my near death experience. Saren and I (me?) almost DIED this morning. I didn't want to ride the shuttle up to school. I have decided that i hate the shuttle. Saren had just woke up and so i asked her if she could give me a ride to school. I let her take my car cause i am nice like that. So we were driving up the hill. and then we saw our friend austin. and it being early morning and neither of our brains were properly working we both looked over to see him on the sidewalk. All of a sudden saren looks back and there is a car RIGHT in front of us. so saren SCREAMS and swerves out of the way so she doesn't kill my car. Then she does the whole protective mother thing and puts her arm in front of me and yells ARE YOU OK?!? IS THE CAR OK?!? AM I OK?!?! i just sat there. I was to shocked to react. i sat there for a few more seconds. then. i don't even remember. i don't think i ever said anything about it. it scared the crap out of me. please don't kill my car.

thanks austin for almost killing us this morning.

monday.

I have a class at 8:30. The class I have is CS 1400. computer programming. hate it. loathe it. but i usually can stay awake for the first bit. but between 8:53 and 9:02 i start to get tired. and i can't keep my eyes open. and i have to put my head down. to rest. its awful. and now i'm in the library. my 10:30 class is done now. i just have to go to class to hear people give presentations on their projects. and take the final and do my own project. which is going to be awesome....i hope i did good on my test!!!

it took me almost 2 hours to go to sleep last night. it used to always take me at least an hour to go to sleep every night. i don't miss that.

i love that my job always has the same or more days of than college. its very convenient.

i dont think any of what i just wrote made sense.

back to computer programming. i think my teacher is crazy. she LOVES computer programming. its unhealthy really. and as much as she loves it she's not very good at explaining it. at all. horrible in fact. i had fun writing the evaluation for the class.

really i'm done talking now.

go me.

Hello folks. I would just like to let you all know how incredibly awesomely productive I was today.

slept in till 10:30. Saren texted me and woke me up from the weirdest dream ever. Ballet dancers eating peoples extra limbs.....yeah....

ate breakfast.

cleaned the living room. vacuumed, dusted, go me.

saw ashley. you see she doesn't come around much. so we chatted for a bit.

got my haircut!! yay!! i love to get my haircut.

watched step up 2. AND did homework. I got 3/4 of it done for one class. and its not even due till WEDNESDAY. go me.

went grocery shopping. i got milk, yogurt, cereal, and 2 bananas.

cashed a check.

did MORE homework. whooooa. what was that. MORE homework. Thats right. go me.

And now i am writing this blog. I might even do MORE homework. Cause I am just feeling super motivated today. go me.

I went bowling on...Thursday. I went home on Thursday too. Good times. I had to go into my mom's work to get stuff for my project that I have to do for one of my classes. So i got to see the little brother at home. Who I really like. He's funny. And is going to be FIFTEEN at the end of the month. AND is going to be allowed to drive. Cause they give out permits a year early these days. Scary. But bowling. I think i go 76 for my first game. There were four of us in my lane and I actually beat someone!!! go me. I didn't do as good the second game...64 or something. But i broke 50 both times!! go me. So I am getting better. Bowling is super fun. I forget that its fun sometimes but I really like it.

Last night was the basketball game. We won by a ton. It was pretty fun. I have a hard time paying attention to basketball. I like it a million times better than football but i get distracted to easily. We had good seats though. Went to Village Inn after...i don't like to eat late. it was good though.

i'll be done now.

taking small break

I have a test tomwomw and also a big assignment that i need to finish still. But i need to take a break. hopefully the test goes ok....

hey! i went and cleaned the kitchen sink at angie's. Not by myself though...there was a bunch of us. i really liked the whipped cream. That was fun though.

I had to go to the african children's choir tonight. pretty much got choked up in almost every single song. it wasn't cause it was super moving or anything. I don't know. i am just feeling super overwhelmed today and the little kids singing just made me want to curl up into a ball and cry for a few hours. but it was still really good. they all want to be doctors, lawyers, and pilots when they grow up. and 1 optometrist. so cute. that was my last performance for art class. so i just have to write the paper and i am done!!!!

the people over at my house are all watching get smart right now...but i can't watch. sad. it looks really funny. i really think i would like to go to bed though. sigh.

good night though i think. and pizza. brad. this kid katie is dating. he works at papa murphys. and he brings us pizza a lot. to eat. and its good. the breadsticks are my very very favorite though. i could eat a whole thing of them i think. so yes. continue with the pizza bringing please.

so. tired.

I am home right now. Home home. In Hooper. Cause I needed to come home so that I could get my contacts. So I can see. Cause without them I wouldn't be able to. Just so you all know, I have really bad eyesight. I have had glasses since I was in third grade. Now you know. I am blind.

Its only 11 but I would really like to go to bed. But I can't cause I need to turn my homework in but my laptop is in my brothers truck which is not home right now. I love to go to bed rediculously early when I come home. The last time I came home I fell asleep at 8:30. This may have had something to do with the prescription cough medcine that I took. But still. It was lovely.

The fireplace in my house has a mantle/bookshelf things now. Its neato. My dad built it. He's cool like that. I didn't bring my camera home though. Oh and ps did I mention that my dad bought a truck a few weeks ago?!? Yeah he did. A big one. I haven't seen it though cause the scouts are camping. A truck though. He's been talking about it for ages and he acutally got one. I couldn't believe it. (There is a mosquito flying around. I THOUGHT THEY ALL DIED) So yeah. heaven=dad+truck;

(i don't ever tell my mom about my homework. cause she gets way stressed about it. so if she ever knew how much i didn't do my homework. procrastinated. she would probbaly have a heart attack. she's really stressing that i have 45 more minutes for the brother to come home so I can turn my stuff in. i just need my glasses so i can go to bed.)

and i will be done rambling now. good night.

one more thing. my little brother is turning 15 at the end of the month. which means he will get his drivers permit. which is insane. totally crazy. he is still like 7 years old i swear. if 7 year olds can be 6'2....

ballet

Right now I am not doing my homework. I haven't even started. Its due in two hours. And I have no plans of starting it. Which is a very very bad idea. But I don't care. (...maybe that's why i didn't do so well on the last test.....)

anyways.

I just got back from the ballet. Canada's Royal Winnipeg Ballet. Carmina Burana. or something. I don't want to look up the spelling. I liked it. It was better than the last ballet I saw...This one was mostly contemporary ballet which I've never seen before. It was good though. I kind of was wanting to giggle though the whole thing. Giggling in a good way. I guess? Sometimes I just feel the need to laugh. But then in the middle. All the boys got on their very short and tight...spankys...I'll call them. Or maybe boxer briefs. Pink even. It was bad. But I was trying to be the mature adult that I am. It was kind of hard because everyone else kept snickering and laughing. But I mean, come on, it was pretty funny.(to quote the little brother. "It looks like he's got a squirrel down his pants!" (david bowie. labyrinth.)) So I smiled and tried not to laugh. When really inside I was having a meltdown. hahahaha. I kind of felt like I was five years old. I kept laughing the whole way home.

ok. new story. School. Being kindergarten. Being work. Yesterday. When it rained and hailed like crazy for 7 minutes then stopped and was just freezing cold. I was on the blue table. Trying to get some things done. We were drawing what we had been for Halloween. (I wans't doing any of this. the kids. i was kind of jealous though) and there was this wierd noise and then a huge clap of thunder. Scared the crap out of me. Everyone went really quiet and I looked at my child, cause I was kind of thinking they would burst into tears. And then for some reason I wanted to burst into tears cause it startled me so much. So I had to sit there for a few minutes to make sure I wasn't going to break down in the middle of kindergarten.

I was looking through my pictures. And I felt the need to post this. Seductive.

ps. i just called my parents. and woke them up. sorry!

i like cake.

Today in kindergarten the teacher was explaining to the kids that today their parents were voting for the next president and all that. (they got to vote for the school tshirt design) Then she asked the kids to guess who the current president was. And this little boy, who is sooo sooo very cute raised his hand and said, "...President Monson?" holy cow. Possibly one of thee cutest things i have ever heard. It was adorable. So she said no and explained that he was the president of the church, and we have a president of the United States too. oh dear. so cute.

i have to go to the ballet tomwwom. My first and only ballet experience thus far in my life. was not a good one. I swear it was three hours long. and that is EXcluding the time it took for the fire alarm to go off because of some fireworks and for us to evacuate the building for a half hour or so. and then go back and have everyone get back in their seats blah blah blah. so. i hope its better than that. As long as the fire alarm doesn't go off. it will be better. apparently there is 3 seperate ballets...i don't know.

hw. no good.

bgd

i went to the howl for halloween. it was funner than last year. but seriously. i am NOT going next year. I know i said this last year. But....we didn't have anything to do. The band people were cool, it smelled bad really awful horribly bad, and my hair look freakin awesome thanks to saren.

sat was the football game. we won. we actually won a game. AND we got to sit on the couch. We know someone that knows someone. And we got free pizza. I think that is how all football games should be really. i would enjoy them a lot more in my life.

its going to be cold on wed.

i wish the sound worked on my computer. its super depressing. (it does work with earphones. but i just want to listen to it normal please)

vote. i hope my thing got mailed.

fhe=dinner=yum

saren likes to sing....hahahahah. i won't embaress her.

oops....

I work at elementary school. I get there at 12. Just in time for lunch and recess. We recently got a few of those red bouncy balls. The kids think it is hilarious to have the teachers bounce them really high in the air. they are cute. A few days ago my arms kinda hurt...i didn't know why. Yesterday when i was bouncing the ball for someone my arms were kinda hurting, soreish you know. I AM SORE from bouncing those dumb balls at RECESS. I might be out of shape? sad. really sad. sometimes we throw them in the air cause they go even higher than when you bounce them. And i totally chucked the ball on the roof. hahahahah. i was laughing so hard. The little boy almost started crying, i felt so bad. Usually i can throw it straight up so i don't have to worry about the roof. oh man. it was funny. so now we are short a ball.

Last night I had to go to this japanese drumming thing....taikoproject i believe it was called. It was soooooo very cool. By far the cooleset thing i have had to go see this semester.

lastly, i didnt go to class this morning!!!!! Its only the second time i have missed class this semster. i figured i deserved it.

AND. one last thing. i get to wear my pajamas to work today. On account of the fact that it is Red Ribbon Week. And today is pajama day!

I have to get out of bed now and get ready for work. peace.

nmkl

So pretty much these days I live on the computer. And not by choice. Since all my assignments have to be done on the computer and they take forever. I am always on this thing. I have already written 11 blogs this month. This is a record. I haven't written that many blogs in a single month since....a long time ago. (in a galaxy far far away) but. since i am on the computer. And all this crap is really hard i have to give myself lots of breaks....and since there are so many things to do on the computer. I check facebook like ever 15 minutes i think. Which i hate. Because its not that interesting. And nothing remotely interesting happens in 15 minutes. and i read blogs a million times a day. (i realize this sounds slightly creepy) but there isn't anything else to do. it gives me an excuse to procrastinate even more. blah.....blah......blah....alksjfoiweakmds zcxvoiweajf ldkj lcmcoWJLSF ALGOi;lskdjgl gla

Notes

These are my notes from my GIS class this morning. I thought I would share them with you.

10/28
Geocoding

~cholera~


I really paid attention.

monday

Its monday.

I am in the library right now with my brother. He made this slideshow thing from his mission and it was insanely depressing. I don't even know how he can stand watching the stupid thing. I was almost crying.

On a happier note. I have had this coat. And it has this things on the shoulders. You know that are there for decorative purposes. So the buttons fell off like two years ago. And the flappy things are always flapping around. And really. To be honest. It pisses me off. They make me angry. Every time I put the coat on I see them flapping around. And it bothers me. Sooooooo on....Friday night. I cut them off!!!!!!! Holy cow. I don't know why I didn't do that YEARS ago. It was sooooo nice.

Ok i must go. The brother needs his computer back I guess. Good day.

....I'm gonna finish this now cause I got kicked off earlier this morning.

Back to the coat. Really you have no idea how good it felt to cut those stupid things off my jacket. seriously. THEY DRIVE ME INSANE. (something smells funny right now...i'm not sure what it is)

Halloween dance for FHE yo. Was a very good time. I won cupcakes!!!!!!!! during the cake walk!!!!!!! And now we are watching Nightmare on Elm Street:Part 2. It just started and the bus is going down a mountain right now....creepy.

I was going to do hw...but im not going to now. So that means lots to do tomwomw.....

its almost friday

I figured I should write another blog cause I have alreayd wrr THere is a spider on the wall. Its huge. and the light keeps flickering....i think i am about to die. don't worry saren just got it...sigh. that was close.

anyways........i am on a blogging role so I am going to write another one of these things. Kung Fu Panda is quite the hilarious show. And my brother, bless his heart, bought me dinner tonight. Cause i forced him too. He makes a lot of money and is really not spending enough of it on me. Go carl's jr.

.....i am done now.

WAIT. I am going on a Pumpkin Walk tomomw!!!!! With kindergarteners!!!!!!! I don't know what a pumpkin walk is but i am sure it will be a grand time.

plus the school...elementary is going to be feeding me tomwowm for some lunch thing they do every month. woo hoo. food AND the pumpkin.

one more thing. i was looking at this email that utah state had sent out. and there was a thinger from the womens center. and i thought. Hey. I will look at cause that is where becki works at byu sorta thing. and guess what i found out. there is 6 lacatation centers on campus. So if you ever need to lactate i can tell you where to go.

fun=paint+dancing.

(in case any of you are wondering, my title is an excellent c++...problem. variable. thing.)

The paint dance was on.....last night? No MONDAY. twas fun.
it started at 9. we got there around 9 30 and they said that paint was gone.
but we managed to find some....














I like it. Paint is fun. It is much funner to dance in paint. Than to actually paint.

ps. my car is on campus right now. And i am going to be needing it tomwowm. Please don't let me forget to go get it.

...

Today I was thinking about something on the way to work and I thought, oh I want to write a blog about this. But now work is over and I have forgotten what it was so now I can't tell you about my brilliant....thought or idea or plan...whatever it was.

Speaking of work. I want like 8 kids.

Another on the way to work story. I was driving down the road and someone had these ghost decorations up in their yard. They were all holding hands and it was cute, and then I wanted to cry. I have really displaced emotions sometimes. If could even call it that. Who wants to cry when they look at Halloween decorations.

I did soooo very awesome with my homework yesterday. And I was totally planning on doing just as awesome today. But I think its impossible to do that much homework for two days in a row.

I'm hungry. I need dinner. All I have eaten is chips ahoy. They are good. Need food though.

I had the weirdest dream last night. It was about going tanning. I don't have the energy to tell you about it right now though. Ask me later.

U...E...AAAAAAAAAAAA

Its UEA. And I didn't have to work all week. Well except on Monday and Monday was a tragic day in my life indeed. I almost threw up. It was bad...oh oh so bad. But that was Monday and today is Saturday.

Thursday I had to come home cause I had to go to the dentist. If I haven't already mentioned a few hundred time I'll just tell you now. I HATE the DENTIST. I have hated the dentist since 9th grade when something tragic happened then too. So I went to college last year and didn't ever go to the dentist. So I haven't been in like...2 years probably. I was also supposed to get my wisdom teeth out two summers ago. Anyways. Its always in the back of my mind....Sarah you need to go to the dentist so you teeth don't rot out of your head. Anyways, the roommate Ashley went a few weeks ago and had...a lot of cavities. So I broke down and made an appointment cause I didn't really want that many cavities rotting my teeth away. So....come home on Thursday. Going to dentist. Got x-rays and she cleaned my teeth. ps. she didn't floss! Which i was very scared about cause my bottom teeth are all squished together at the moment because of aforementioned wisdom teeth and there is one of my teeth tooths? that hurts a ton when i try to floss. No idea why, of course I didn't tell the dentist this. ANYWAYS, sorry this is taking so long. Its just so exciting. Cleaning done, dentist comes in and asks how I am...I say, well i guess i'll know in a minute. A few dreaded seconds later................NO CAVITIES!!!!!!!!Holy cow, couldn't believe it. I had convinced myself I was going to have like 12. And....top wisdom teeth are still not ready to come out...so this summer.....hahaha we'll see. Travis didn't have any either. So happy day for me, Travis and my mom. woot.

I think my car is getting fixed. We took it to somewhere.

I have been trying to do my homework all weekend but its sooooo hard. I don't know what to do. I know that its easy i just can't figure out how or what i am supposed to do. I did get one question done though. blah.

i got a halloween costume. i am not sure how i feel about it. I kinda wish i could just...not dress up? i dunno. It will be fun i guess.

Yesterday i went out to eat with the fam +gma. They forgot we were there and the shift leader lady felt soooooo bad. so she gave us some free food and kept apologizing and thanked us for not being mean scary people. we gave her a good tip.

cin.getline

Well here I am again. Still not done with my homework. IT WONT WORK. cin.getline is evil. from the devil. it will not work. there are 8 errors and they are all cin.getline errors. And my brother has decided to turn off his phone???? its due at midnight. i don't think i am going to turn it in.

today was really fun. i did homework all day. after class i came home and ate lunch. Cause i am used to eating at 11 30, which is soooo insanely early. but i need food before work so i'm used to eating early. then after a wee bit of tv watching i went back to campus to go do homework at the library. i love doing homework at the library. i don't know why but just like the way it feels to be there. it makes me feel smart. after feeling smart at the library i went to the GEOSPA lab and worked on all my GIS stuff. i still need to finish it. there is soooo much of it. this semester my life is a neverending homework assignment. i'm sorry i complain about it so much but it is just so horrid and i get stressed. i can't even remember when my classes are. on tues i had to keep reminding myself not to go to old main, cause i totally would have walked straight there to...not my class. that is mwf. sigh.

i have 62 minutes left to turn in my assignment. i guess i should go back to staring at it somemore....

OMG I totally dyed sarens hair tonight!!!!!! i have always wanted to dye someones hair cause it looks really fun to use the dye and brush on thier hair and stuff. it was everything i imagined and more!!!!! i got to do it twice cause i bleached it then put this awesomely cool red color in it. i did forget one blond piece in the back....but you can't even see it. it looks soooo good though. which i am glad cause i was afraid i was going to mess up and turn her hair green and then she would kill me. i shall have to post pictures of the glorius event. but blogger takes to long for that at the moment.

saren just went to betos and she said she was going to get me a cheese quesidilla, which i totally and completley love.

(i have to go to the dentist tomwowm. i haven't been in over a year. i think i might cry)

I am trying to do the homework assignment from hell right now. It really is so awful. Computer programming is not for me. I don't even understand it. I have no idea how to even do any of it. If it weren't for the brother I would totally be failing because I don't ever know or understand how to do the assignments. Its just so stupid. She does super easy examples in class and then expects us to know how to do super complex confusing problems blah blah blah. I HATE IT. I honestly can not do it. I can't. I don't even know where to begin or what the crap I am doing. I just type in random crap hoping that it how to do it. Then I run the program and it fails, then I change some stuff and it fails again.....and this continues for a long time. I am done complaining. now. i give up.

Fry Street

So i had to go to this quartet performance just a minute ago...it was 2 and half hours long. Now it wasn't all bad. I did enjoy some of it. I kept wondering what happens if someones string breaks. does that happen often? what does the person do? do they have backup instruments? then i really wanted someones string to break so that i could see what happens....when that happens. the cello lady was super funny to watch. she had the greated facial expressions. and the viloa player kept almost hopping out of his chair every few minutes while he was playing.

i also enjoyed the conversation of the girls sitting next to me during intermission. girl A is on some pill....i think it is some sort of weight loss pill. But you aren't supposed to eat for 30 to 60 minutes before and after. and you cant drink it with pop cause it will just dissolve this drug...and all sorts of other weird stuff. then she says that the drug isn't FDA approved....only FDA something...i don't remember what she said. but its not totally approved for use. so maybe she is doing some study. girl B, who isn't taking drugs is talking about how you don't need to be taking pills to lose weight and pointing out all these other weird facts....but girl A is doing all of those things....i don't know. i would have been insulted. girl A also points out that fen-fen(phen-phen?) wasn't FDA approved either.....ok....cause that turned out so good(well)? so lets just go ahead and try this new drug and see if it works better........

will someone please take my test for me next tuesday? i can't do it. its open book and open notes so you should do fine on it.

i freaking love little kids. they are hilarous. i curled my hair today. and i knew this would cause some commotion among the kids. i was right. three or four told me they thought my hair was pretty. which is adorable. one kept pointing and wanted to smell it (not sure why), also cute. and one thought i looked funny. which is hilarious. little kids are never afraid to tell you what they think. oh yeah. and i got invited to play video games after school. which is also adorable.

I was going to write a blog. But then I started reading other blogs. And now I have to leave soon. Cause i have to go talk to one of my professors. Cause i didn't do very good on a test I just took. Didn't do very good is an understatement though, i did absolutely HORRIBLE. I forgot how to calculate map scale. I didn't write it down on my handy dandy 3x5 card? WHAT WAS I THINKING. I wasn't obviously. (mozilla thinks all my contractions are spelled wrong?)

I need to go make my lunch to take to school. I get to eat lunch in a cafeteria on a table that is way to small for my long legs and with a bunch of little kids that won't eat there food. I love it.

Where you been

I got sick almost two weeks ago and i am still coughing.

there is something wrong with my left wristish. it hurts

i have started making my christmas list. this is the highlight of the fall list making season.

i have been doing really bad on all my computer science assignments. i dont care.

instead of going to the usu/byu game i am going to go home to watch a jr. high football game. cause i like my little brother better than the usu football team.

why isn't this automatically double spacing anymore?

the front something something is bent on my car. apparently it needs to be fixed ASAP

i really like october. its a good month. fall. i like fall.

maybe it has never double spaced before...i don't remember?

kindergarten is insane. sometimes it stresses me out. but they are so stinkin cute

I DON'T HAVE TO WORK TOMWOMW!!!! you have no idea how exciting this is

somethings really annoy me. i wont go into them right now.

somethings i really like. i wont go into them right now.

my floor is really dirty and needs to be vacuumed.

end.

So You Think You Can Dance

woooo hooooo. I have wanting to write about this for a week now. And I am really tired but I am gonna stay up and do it anyways.

SYTYCD was amAAAAAAZING. Holy cow. Can't even tell you how good it was. so many good dances...i'm speechless.
This is us. Being cool. And you all love the way these pictures are posting but i'm to tired to change it. This was the best dance ever. Luuuved it.














Bleeding Love was by far the best. No air, and a bunch of others were good too. It was all just the best ever. And we went out to eat before....and I can't think right now....i don't know what i'm saying.

I have a test tomwomwo. oh yeah. we did tie dye for fhe on monday. it went pretty good i think considering i had no idea what i was doing. then i was really tired. and people made dinner and i ate it. Now i'm going to go to bed. good night.

well, you forgot poland.

yeah. really the homework isn't going so well. (why i do people keep walking by my window with their parents) i just can't do it. which means i'll have to do it tomwomwm. so i was back on Urban Dictionary.

but i thought this was hilarious. I laughed for a long time.



You Forgot Poland

What you say to a person when you have been one-upped by said person in an argument or debate of some sort. Pretty much just lets you try to get the last word in when you have no other retort.

Person A: "Oh man! We got jumped by like twelve guys and kicked all their (butts)!"
Person B: "Actually there were three; Steve McPeterson, Dave Ellis, and that guy that works the Wendy's drive-thru."
Person A: "Well, you forgot Poland."

Thats so awesome!

I was just on Urban Dictionary looking up some stuff to see if I was going to write my paper with words from there.....anyway. I looked up awesome. it said...

1.	awesome
	Something Americans use to describe everything.

so true.

hahahaha....ahahahaha. anyways.

I'll talk about sytycd later....i'm doing homework.....tear.

Picture day is tues

Yesterday I had to go to a show called Nunsense. And can I just say. It was pretty dang funny. The show is about these nuns who are going to put on a variety show on so they can raise money to bury the last 4 of their 52 sisters that died from eating the crazy cooks food. It was really good. Or maybe I just like nuns.

I went home on Friday night so that I could get some homework done in my life. Which I did manage to do a little done. After walking around all the new house stuff and eating Betos and seeing the little brother and all that other going home stuff I homeworked it.

This is what its looking like these days. Its not to big or anything but I think it will be cool when its all finished.














Its so crazy. And did I mention that the ditches in my front yard got filled in?!?! This really is a very big moment in the lives of my family. We have had ditches in my front yard forEVer. And everyone and their dog is always afraid that they are going to fall in. And once, Millie Haws' mom did fall in. They had a huge 15-seater. And I think there was snow involved? But she slid down the ditch a bit and it was kinda scary for a minute. But everything human and car survived.
















I also started getting sick on Friday night. My throat starting hurting, stuffy nose....all that fun stuff. And now I really don't feel so well. And I am losing my voice. But really I am ok with that cause I kind of like it when I lose my voice.

I am going to So You Think You Can Dance on Tuesday!!!!!!!! I can't wait! And bonus. It will count for an event for my art class. AND I have to go to the opera tomwomw, which is Monday and then to a gallery walk on Friday. And the nun show that I just went to. Its busy week of the arts I guess. I will feel very cultured at the end of the week.

List it:

1- I hate screamo
2- Yesterday at work. Bloody noses and exploding mayonnaise packets. Both all over me.
3- I like having the internet
4- I like yogurt. Again. It must be a beginning of the school year thing.
5- Saren makes good orange julius'
6- I like basketball shorts.
7- I have lots of homework. that i don't do
8- I am going to so you think you can dance in a weekish. i am excited.
9- this was a short list

sunday day

I have just come home from my friends house a little early cause everyone was outside and i was cold. So I came home and got in my pajamas and was going to come sit in my living with my computer(and internet!) and watch some television before bed. And what was on? Why the MTV music awards awards! And I was just in time to hear the Jonas Brothers! What are the MTV Music Awards anyways? What do they even do?

ps. Did I tell you all i received a calling this year at church? Yes its true. I am a FHE mom. I am a mother mom. hahahaha. i don't know why i typed that. i don't remember typing it. I got distracted. So I was distracted....cereal sounds good right now. And now a really awful song is on...? The singer dude needs to pull his pants up.

At school. My favorite thing is that a lot of the kids call there back pack or book bags (what are they really called. I think i call them both cause i always get confused.) but they call them pack-pack. packpack. Its adorable.

my life is truly complete now. I have the internet in my home. sigh...i am at peace.

I'm feeling rather antsy at the moment. I am over at Daniel's house using the internet. Cause yeah, I still don't have it. The upstairs people got it but they have to buy a router? I thought it usually just came with one of those? Guess not. My book came for my class and this makes me very happy and less stress is now in my life. I might be able to do my homework now. I should go do my homework.....

grrr

THE SOUND ON MY COMPUTER ISN'T WORKING. Its not working at all. No sound whatsoever is coming out. It works if you plug the earphones in but thats it. It is not making me happy.

Having BLT's for dinner is helping a little though.

argh.

yup.

I HATE NOT HAVING THE INTERNET. Seriously. Its killing me. I am WAY to dependent on the internet to not have instant access to it 24/7. And just my luck, all 4 of my classes require to be able to have access to said internet 24/7. woot......so I have been going up to campus and to my brothers apt to use the internet everyday since school has started. Right now I'm institute building. I am soooo very glad that I didn't have my lab today so I could come and catch up with everything in my life.

I have now forgotten what I was going to write about....

oh well. School is going good. Its going to be hard. I don't know if I can handle it. Work is...we shall see how that is going to continue to go.

Oh yeah I remember. There is one good thing about my lack of internet usage. I haven't been on Facebook in ages...well except like 4 seconds ago. But I can't get on to check if 4 times a day. Which is good cause its kind of boring me at the moment. So I don't even care.

I got a new camera. And I have only taken 2 new pictures on it. Sad day. So I don't have anything exciting to put up. Wait I do!

For a while now my parentals have been wanting to add on to the house. They have been drawing up all sorts of different plans for months. And they have finally decided to go through with it and get it done. So we have a very large hole in the backyard. At least thats what I have been told. My dad sent me some pictures.

This is a very large pile of dirt. And my dogs. I like them.

This is a picture of the big hole. I think I am going home tomworow so that I can see the big hole. And my family. Its really just strange that my house is going to be so different. Its been the same way since we have lived there. Crrrazy.







ps. My apt is quite lovely. Only the dishwasher is about a 1000 years old and flooded the first time it was turned on. The plumber came a fixed it. And we can't open our mailbox.

My first day of school.

School has begun again. It feels really wierd to be back at school. I have a really wierd schedule and I have a feeling that I won't ever know what it is. My house doesn't have the internet anymore. So I am over at my brothers apartment right now. I had to return his free laundry key....that I won't ever be using. I was just keeping it safe.....His air conditioning is broken right now though and he lives on the top floor....its hot. School was fine though. blah blah blah whatever.

Work on the other hand.....I can't talk about it. I will be working with younger kids this year. And I thought that it was going to be a lot easier, but now I'm not so sure......holy cow. Its going to be another interesting year thats for sure. I have a picture of the lovely house warming guest we had come visit. My camera is downstairs in my car though....I'll go get it maybe......But he didn't stay for very long.

Its way to hot up here. I have no desire to walk down the stairs and back up to this oven. So later with the pictures.

I don't want to pay for cable tv.

post

I started work on Wed. Its going to be a lot different than last year. Different but good. Good but different. AND I GET A RAISE!! (got, get?) who cares! A raise!!! You really have no idea how exciting that is. It just made my day. And I got a book from the library. Now you really are jealous.

I moved! I hate moving. I don't know how to pack. I always just want to pack everything I own into shoe boxes. But its all good. Our new apt is waaaay cool. We have a brand new black leather couch and chair. And a nice table, and good carpet and a REAL bed. Not like that rock that I had to sleep on all summer long. (ps. they just got new mattress' today. The place I lived at for the summer, thanks for waiting until after I move out.) Me and Ashely got the big bedroom too! We have lots of crap. Too much I am thinking. She isn't moving in for a few days cause shes in Texas.....driving home. So I am roommateless for the moment.

AND one of the greatest things I think is that this place doesn't have internet but the internet from the place I lived in the fall works all the way over here. Being across the streets. Otherwise I don't think I could survive cause I don't know when the manager dude is getting wireless.

HI SHANE!!! YOU'RE REALLY COOL!!!.

ps. Michael Phelps is still awesome!

we come and we go

ahhhhhh he did it! he really did it! Michael Phelps won 8 gold medals!! so cool. really. amazing.

I am back in Logan. And cannot wait to start work and school. I am soooo very done with being unemployed. At some point I need to start packing. Maybe I should have started doing that a few days ago. But I didn't really see the need. I just have empty boxes and crap all over the place instead. I was supposed to have been able to move a few days ago but we couldn't.....I don't know.

I kind of hate the beginning of the school year because you have to spend so much money. You have to have two months rent instead of one. You have to go buy a ton of food cause you have been surviving on a half a gallon of milk and a box of cheerios for the past week because you don't want to have to move a ton of food to your new apt. All of a sudden there are millions of other things you need to buy because you weren't really sure how you lived without it for the summer. And books for school and you always have to have a few new clothes for the new year. (especially if you work at an elem where all the little kids get new clothes. i should get some too) And you decide to get your hair dyed instead of just cut!!! Holy cow my hair is really quite dark now. I shall have to take a picture sometime soon. I got my hair done though cause I got my retirement check so I figured I could spend that. Yes can you believe I am already getting retirement!! No sorry, I wish. I had a 401k when I worked at the library and since I only worked there for about 4 seconds it just loses money every 3 months or something. I should have canceled it ages ago cause I would have got a lot more money.

My brother is moving up here too this year. We even have a class together. Really I don't know how that happened. I'm not sure how I feel about it, everyone will probably think were married. So that should be interesting. I think the class involves math though so I suppose its good that I already know someone in the class who's decent at math.

Two words:

Edward and Michael.

I broke down yesterday and bought the last book in the Twilight series, Breaking Dawn. I wasn't even going to read cause I really didn't care cause I figured it was just going to make me mad. But I read the end.....hahahah.....people hate that I do that. But really people, I can't even explain to you how much better it makes it know then end of books (most, there are a few exceptions i suppose). The anticipation is sooooo much better. Cause you what happens at the end but you don't know what happens inbetween all that. (not that i don't read ahead while i am reading) But for this book I really wasn't even going to waste my time reading over 750 pages if it wasn't going to end good. I liked the Host, but it wasn't the best and I was afraid that Breaking Dawn was going to be the same. Anyways....I'll stop rambling. Overall, it was good. There were a few things that I didn't like. I might even read it again some days.

uh...can you say Michael Phelps? Holy cow, he's amazing. I had to watch his races last night today cause I was reading last night. He's crazy. And all the winning of all those gold medals...really its just to much. Makes me want to cry really. And he swims, which means he doesn't wear a shirt. And that just makes it all the better. And mens gymnastic team. Yeah, tear for them too. I just think its all fascinating.

I guess I am going back to Logan tomwomw. I haven't been up there in almost a month....which technically means I can be thrown out of my apt? Because I haven't been there in over two weeks. I don't know why they care. I paid, and I'm not even there to trash the place so you would think this was a good thing? Whatever. I think we are moving out soon anyways.

I will post pictures of dc!! But only a few, I took over 500 pictures. I got a little crazy with the camera. (ps. i got my new camera. its black. and cool. your jealous)

This is me right before I crushed the Washington Monument. This is my good friend Don that i met at the Air and Space museum. He was kind of quiet though. (I just love putting pictures up on blogger, it always works so nicely.) Mount Vernon was my Favorite. This is the Lower Garden. I am moving into the house next year. I took like 452 pictures of the Washington Monument. But you have to. It doesn't matter where you go, its always around. It rained like crazy and we chilled under a some food place for awhile. Cool rainbow. The had these cool infrared things at once of the museums. The purply blue stuff in the middle is my HANDS. And the dot about it is my NOSE. It was FREEZING in there people. Notice everyone else's noses are find. Their hands were too. And all the while I was getting frost bite. I had to buy at hoodie at the 2nd air and space museum cause it was so cold. Which made me feel like such a nerd. So I'll probably wear it all winter.

Let the games begin!

I watched the Olympics last night. I love to watch the Olympics. It always chokes me up and makes me want to cry. Like the new Visa commercials with past Olympic stuff? Yeah first time I saw the gymnastics one I got all choked up. But the opening ceremonies were way good. I watched most of it. I would have to say one of my favorite parts was the little nine year old boy that got to walk with the tall Ming person. I thought that was adorable. Yes I might have go choked up. I like the Olympics.

I have been back from my trip for a few days. I think I had jet lag a little. The two hour difference kind of messed me up. I keep walking up at like eight. Trip was fun though. Mount Vernon was my favorite. I will post some pictures when I have my camera back.

uh...I am going to Ikea today!!! Don't really know why. I just decided I wanted to go cause my gma got a catalog and I thought it looked fun. Me and Ashley (Ashely) are going. I don't ever remember how to spell her name.

aloha from dc!!

I am in Washington DC at this very moment. And I am very tired. I have been doing a lot of walking the past few days. My mom wears a little step tracker thing and we walked over 20,000 steps yesterday. In case you aren't aware. Thats A LOT. But I have been having a jolly good time for the most part. And a few not so good ones.

Here are the not so good things that have happened.

-We keep getting sorta lost. We have a GPS thing and it really is terrible. Always trying to take us on these back roads and making my dad confused.

-Its very hot. and humid. And were outside a lot. bad combo.

-Today my dad cracked the screen on my camera and its ruined. It doesn't work anymore. That was sad.

Good Stuff!!

-I love it here!

- Museums are cool. (they do get a little tiresome.) But a good thing overall. my favorites....the wright brothers section of the air and space museum would be one....and the natural history museum was pretty cool.

-LOVE the memorials. Definelty my favorite part. Vietnam, Korea, FDR, Arlington.... loved all those.

-its green.

-Today it started raining. And we were outside with no umbrella. We stood under trees and walked and little and stood under a roof of a concessions stand thinger. I got wet. It was great.

-Saw an IMAX movie on nature. was cool.

-went to really good seafood place in georgetown. I want to go back and go shopping.

-to tired. can't really go on.

lata.

2day

I did absolutely nothing today. Nothing. And I don't care to repeat such a day again.

I did get to watch Avatar though!!!! But that was just tonight. I really like that show. And I don't even know why. I feel like a little kid nerd person watching it.

A few nights ago as I was watching Veronica Mars on my computer I kept being swarmed by mosquitoes. When I got up they were everywhere. There were at least a few hundred. One of our doors was open just a tiny bit so they had been getting in all night. So me and my dad went on a mosquito killing rampage. I killed at least a hundred. It was kind of gross cause they were all over the walls and the floor. It was kind of hilarious though too.

Daniel has some Mongolian music on right now. I'm not sure how I feel about it. Very strange. Now someone is whistling. For the whole song.

Camp Rock!

So me and Travis just got done watching Disney channels newest movie, Camp Rock. And when you put aside all the morals, conscience finding, and horribly predictable plot it was a really good show. I liked the music at the end, pretty catchy stuff. And they sang their duet and I totally loved that to.

And now I am listening to thier music on iTunes, Myspace, and Youtube.

I'm cool like that.

goin' on a trip

I went on a trip to see my good ole' friend Becki just a few days ago. And it was quite an enjoyable trip I must say. The flight to Chicago started with me waking up at 3:30 in the AM. My flight was fine, I slept the whole way and I landed in Minnesota. It smelled and I almost walked out to the baggage claim area. I made it into Chicago and after some baggage struggles, they put my babbge on the flight before me and it had just been sitting in the NWA office while I stood there getting worried that my baggage had been lost.... and some confusion on the curb I found Becki's car and it was all okay. (long run-on sentence.) We did make it home without any others problems so it was all okay.

On Friday me and Becki got pedicures. This was my first time getting a pedicure and I must say it was one of the most enjoyable experiences ever. I will for sure be going to get one of those things again in my life. I think we had to most beautiful toes in the state of Illinois. Really I think we did.


We happy chums after that so we went to the store with her mom and Heidi to buy a tile.


Becki bought a lovely green pant suit and your lives would be for the better if you were to go look at on her blog. I think we just chilled the rest of the day after that. I don't remember at the moment. But I am sure it was fun.

The next morning me Becki and Adam got up early to go see Dark Knight at the IMAX theater. Now that was a good show. I only recognized Heath Ledger once the entire show. He was that creepy and awesome. It was a good show and I bet much better in IMAX than in a normal theater.

That night Becki and her family went to the American Idol concert and I stayed home and watched Jackson. We became really good friends and he didn't cry for a really long time. Which if you know Jackson is a really good accomplishment. He even let me hold him when he was sad. which was also a good thing. These are some pictures of happy Jackson. The one where he is on the left of the screen he was running around the chairs and the Love Sac for like 5 minutes. He thought it was hilarious. That was the only picture I got of him where he wasn't all blurry or not looking at the camera. The other one he is just cute and giggling. Then he started getting upset cause he wanted his mom or dad or grandpa or whoever wasn't there. He was still really cute cause he let me hold him.

Then there was Sunday and lots of people over and eating and talking and other good Sunday stuff such as that. Then there was Monday. I woke up at 7 cause I had to be at the airport on time. We got there and the place where I was checking my baggage was flooded? There was some leak or pipe broken or I have no idea. Then I couldn't check in to my flight. It wouldn't work and the people took about 7 years to figure it out. I got my ticket and didn't have any problems with the security check. I got to my terminal and was waiting and they told us the flight was delayed. Then said it was more delayed....then canceled. I was still doing good at this point. The lady put me on the later flight to Minnesota and I should still make flight to Salt Lake in time.

So....long story short I missed my flight in Minnesota. We sat on the plane for an extra 10 minutes cause there was still a plane at our gate. They let all the people that were going to miss their flights get off first. So I get off and look for my gate and then RUN to my gate. The plane is SITTING there. And the door is closed and there isn't any people at the desk thinger. I walk over to the lady down the way and she is taking 12 years to help the people in front of me. At this point I really just want to be home and do not want to sit in the airport for 3 extra hours for my next flight. I can feel the tears. I am on the verge. The lady is helping me get my ticket for the lady flight and I can't really talk. She goes over to get a money coupon thing so I can buy food and I just lose it. It was awful. She comes back and pats me on the arm and says she hopes my day gets better.

I go into the bathroom and lose it even more. I cry for a bit and come out and look really ugly and red and splotchy. I have to spend the next 3 hours in the stinky Minnesota airport. ugh. I start calling the paretnals after that. blah blah blah i buy t shirts and magnets and buy food for the next 3 hours. My plane leaves on time and I sat around a lot of foreign people and that was cool. I made it home. It was kind of an awful day but yeah. good times all around.

cat

A few days ago someone dumped a kitten off at our house. I took some pictures of her.



She really was adorable. She was really skinny and dirty. But she was cute and she matched our dogs. My dad said we were going to have to take her to the pound....even though we wouldn't have. My mom kind of wanted to keep her. Sadly, when my parentals asked one of the neighbors if they had lost a kitten they said they hadn't, but would keep it if we weren't going to. Sad day. I only got to see her for one day cause I wasn't home when they found her. But thats ok cause she wouldn't have been a kitten for long and I would don't think I would have liked her as much then.



There were fireworks at Weber State on Sunday. They were good, it was fun to see all my friends. But the fireworks were not very long...or maybe I just talked the whole time. Yesterday I went to eat with some of my friends. We all got the special cause the cherry crisp dessert was gone and we got Italian cream cake instead, which was delicious. It was Maddox turkey steaks and I had never had them. Everyone always says how amazingly good they are, but I wasn't to impressed. They were good but I just don't think I am a turkey or chicken or ham or a meatanything steak fan.

My dad had to get up at 5 this morning and his alarm woke me up and I was wide awake. I couldn't go back to sleep. And I had been having some crazy dream and was really confused.

Oh yeah. I read Anne of Green Gables!! I loved it!!! I can't believe I never read it when I was little. I want to read the others now!!! It was sooo good.

I have been listening to the horrible radio all day and I think its starting to make me sick.

friday!

This morning I had a job interview at the library. It went good I think. I left my house to go to my car. My car is red and was parked out in the corner of the parking lot. There was a red car similar to mine parked just 1 space down. So me, looking at my feet cause thats what I do sometimes and I had my new shoes on that make the clicky noise when you walk and making me feel entirely to grown up, I wasn't paying attention. I pushed the unlock button on my key unlocker thing and walked up to my car and opened the door....The inside was black...not gray. After a second of confusion I realized...oh...this isn't my car..... I sheepishly look around and closed the door and walked around the car and the car next to mine and stopped and looked at my car to make sure it was really mine before getting in. So I made it to the interview in my own car and all went good. There wasn't even any of the usual dumb interview questions. And I can still alphabetize and Dewey quite well thank you.

Me and Saren have been watching Dune for the past few days!!! We finished yesterday and were gonna start the 2nd one sometime. And the 2nd one is a lot better than the first. mmhmm.

I think I might read now.


And I'm guessing you all think my dogs are as cute as I think they are.
