borrrred

i don't even remember if i already talked about painting my grandmas ceiling but i'll go ahead and give you a recap anyways i have. pretty much it was really hard. there you go.

i returned my book at the library after it being over a week late cause i left it in hooper last week. its a pretty good book. but they all end in the middle of the story. and the third one just came out. and i just read the end......cause i like to do that. and it is going to end the same way. so i shall i ever know what is going to happen. i dunno. i can't even decide if i like them or not? i'll keep reading anyways. better than the host....in some ways.

so i'm liking my summer tan so far. i think its looking pretty good. hahahahahahahah wow i really have nothing to talk about if i am talking about my TAN. hmm....anything interesting.

travis played in a football tournament on sat. (they won) (cause there the best) but he got this huge slice in his leg from some kids football shoe (are the cleats?) so that was cool. my blisters are making a slow but steady recovery these days.

i love the chris brown music video, forever. i just love the dancing. i watch it way to much. the song is good to. but i just love the dancing. i still need to see about doing that this school year....the dancing thing.

i was going to post a picture to make this place a little less boring but i didn't like any of them. so i'll just post them on facebook. kk.

just because everythings changing

I have decided what my new hobbies are for the summer. Painting and getting blisters on me poor feet. i went hiking on monday and got some pretty big blisters on the back of my feet. And last night I went on a walk with my dogs and the parentals. And when i come home i never bring anything but flip flops. So i decided to wear my moms crocs....not really sure why i decided to do this cause it would have been about the same wearing my flops. but i have bigger feet than my mom and...yeah i got two huge blisters on the tops of my feet. so yeah. no i pretty much have to walk around barefoot.

Painting. My grandma got this crazy idea somewhere...(i will kill you electrician man) that she needed to paint the ceiling in her garage. She was just going to mix up like...8 different colors of paint together to create one lovely colors. Then my MOM gave her the idea that one coat wouldn't cover up the plaster stuff....so we had to do a coat of primer too. It was pretty awful. The cieling(I am not on mozilla and therefore have no spellcheck. and therefore can't spell) was to high to really paint comfortably. and all i had was either the paint roller or a 3 or 4 feetish stick to attach it to. And it didn't matter if i stood on something or just did it...it just wasn't good. So that took all day and i'm dying. i don't ever want to paint anything again. but wait! my family is painting the our basement and i get to help with that too!!! not. i was supposed to help these days that i was home but...this is super boring. i don't really know why i am explaining the boringness of my painting life. oh well. but i think my house is going to look cool. were getting wood floors (which i just spelled flores) and new furniture and such. and i think its exciting.

still no job.

um.....well i really like the song No Air by Jordin Sparks. ....why am i liking such awful music these days. oh i know....cause i live with people that like awful music. that sounds kind of harsh. Sorry. hahahahahahahahaha i guess not all of it is awful.

oh the paint!!! well we mixed all the colors together and since she had a ton of peach and a really light gray it was just kind of tannish color. kind of like chocolate milk. (i associate all shades of tan with chocolate milk i think) that was fun, dumping them all together and mixing them up.

There was still something i wanted to say and i keep forgetting. Like i keep forgetting peoples names these days.

parking meters.

I went hiking yesterday. It was fun. I haven't been hiking in....oh around years or so. But it was fun, minus the humongous blister that i got on my foot. My back heal hurts alot, even where the blister isn't. (back heal? do i have a front heal somewhere?) If i had taken my camera i would totally put some pictures up but i forgot it you see.

Yesterday we all went swimming. i got bored pretty fast myself.

I have been taking these weird test things for the past month. There computer tests that everyone has to take to graduate and they are lame-o. But i passed them all the first time except the spreadsheets one....which made me very angry cause it was kinda stupid ya know? But i went and retook it today and passed!!! yayayaya and we got a parking spot in the shade even. so i am all done with those stupid things. I applied for a job at the library today. Which is kind of a last resort. i just need a job please. um....its really hot outside. and i need milk.

i went to costa vida for lunch today. it was quite delicious. i love all those places. bajios will always be my favorite though. I do wish they had one in logan.

my grandma wants me to paint the ceiling in her garage. she is going to mix up all the paint from the walls that we have been doing. so pretty much her ceiling is going to be the color of puke. but thats cool.

to bear lake

Yesterday I traveled to Bear Lake with some ole' friends of mine. Because of strange numbers it ended up being me and Tera in her car. She didn't have air conditioning. So we got to ride with the windows down. Well she does have ac but...I guess if you want to listen to the radio you can't do them at the same time cause her car will turn off.....something like that. But we chose the radio over the ac. So we had a good drive until we were driving along and I heard this little thud hit the car. I look down at the arm rest and there is a very large bumblebee sitting there. I of course start screaming THERE'S A BEE THERE'S A BEE!!! over and over again to let Tera know that there was in fact a bee in the car.

After that the bee, whom I think was confused and disoriented from his fall into the car flopped onto the seat. So I had to scoot up onto the middle seat (I was still screaming things about the bee this whole time) I got my water bottle and put it over the bee, cause I could never ever actually crush a bug with my bare hands. Then I, still screaming tell Tera that its ok cause I'm good I can just chill like this. She says no, and going around 50 miles an hour pulls over and slams on the breaks and jumps out of the car cause she can't be in the car with the bee either cause she would freak out and we would die if the bee got out. So I jump out of the car too and remove the water bottle, the bee is laying there squirming helplessly and I try to remove it with the water bottle. When that doesn't work I took my shoe off and gave it to Tera to try to get it out of the car. It somehow made its way out...not really sure where it went. So we finished our ride with much laughing and hysteria.

We arrived in Bear Lake and found our people cause we fell a little behind after the bee incident. We got the tents put up and then headed out to the beach. It was good weather and the water wasn't to bad. It was fun out there. After beaching it for awhile we went to Bear Lake Pizza for dinner. We got one pizza for 15 of us. Pretty cool eh? Its this massive pizza called The Big Ephraim of something. You really only needed one slice and you were full.

Then back to where we were camping. Oh yeah. I only had to go to the bathroom like 12 time during the whole trip. I really drink to much water you know.

There were fires and mallows and guitars and tents, and cool scenery. I do like camping. Then me, Ashely, and Tera headed to bed. The people that were still up thought it would be funny to start doing stuff to our tent. So I was slightly annoyed. I was still up cause it takes me a bit to fall asleep. Ashely and Tera had been asleep and when the woke up they had collapsed the tent on us. They were a little bit mad. There started swearing and threatening to kill or slap the boys around and such. I was kinda mad but I really couldn't stop giggling. So yeah. That was kinda of hilarious. Since we were all up then we took a half a mile bathroom trip at around 2 30 and came back and went to sleep without incident for the rest of the night.

Now what REALLY pissed me off was in the morning the ravens or crows, and whatever other annoying birds there were traipsing around our camp eating the cookies that had been left out. They were SOOOOO NOISY. If I had had a gun with me, I would have shot them. It was so awful, they would not go away and shut up. Then everyone got up and we cleaned up and went to the beach again.

.....lost my train of thought. Oh yeah...so the water was FREEZING. Cause it was only around 10 30. I only had my feet in for a minute and got sunburned on my shoulders and stuff and that was that beach trip. Then to LeBeaus for shakes and fries. Shouldn't have got the shake cause I really don't ever eat them and so I just waste my money. What I ate was good though. Then we left.

And now I'm really tired. I could use a nap sometime today please. I am sure there will pictures of our adventures somewhere on Facebook too.

its story time

I have been painting and removing carpet at my grandmas for the past two days. And I am completely exhausted. For some reason I didn't get to bed till almost 1 last night when I could have easily went to bed at 10 30. So because of this some....unfortunate things happened, or I think some would say widely hilarious. But back to the painting. My grandma seriously has so much energy. I don't really know where she gets it from. She works as hard or harder than I do. And she is a lot older than me. Its crazy. So the rooms are painted...tan, Butterfly Bush yellow, and Covered Wagon. Which is a darker tan/almost reddish color. I can't remember what the tan color was called but it kind of reminds on of chocolate milk which truly sounds delicious right now. I painted all the ceilings too. That is really hard. And removing carpet, and carpet staples and the tack strip crap is even harder I would have to say. So that journey is over, I did get good lunch and quite the pay check out of the deal and quality time with the grandma so it was all well worth it. And at times even fun.

Ok, story time. So I was dead tired and haven't had any energy or brain focus since like 3 56 yesterday while I was still at my grandmas. (ps, i mowed her lawn too. i love mowing the lawn, and i haven't got to mow one in ages.) so i finally got home around...i don't know when. I got to bathe then I left to come back up to Logan around 9 30ish. I arrived in Logan around 10 30ish. Everyone was over at my apt watching the Sandlot. Which is a really good show. Really quite funny.

So we were watching that and talking sometimes. For some reason I decided to quote the girl from Transformers. She was on the MTV awards on tv today, and during one of my brief rests I saw her. Transformers won the best movie award or whatever its called. And she said that the next Transformers movie was going to be....well really good. SO. My point in quoting her was going to be that saying the F word on tv is dumb and it bothered me. So I go to quote her....she said. Yeah! and the next Transformers moving is going to be f-ing bad A. Only some how I managed to say the ENTIRE F WORD. I was so shocked. It took me and everyone else about 5 seconds of silence to figure out what I said. And I still wasn't really sure if I had said it or not. I was so mortified. Everyone was laughing hysterically. They all couldn't believe that I had said the F word but not the A word. I just can't believe i acutally said the whole thing. I totally and completely blame my kids at school. I used to hear that word on a casual basis way to often. Ahhhhh. I really still can't believe i said it. i am so embarrassed. And i know that i will NEVER, EVER live it down either. I have to be done with this now cause i don't like talking about it. oh gosh. i can't believe i said that.

summer suede.

My grandma wanted me to help her paint her house. 3 bedrooms. tan, yellow, and darker tan. I accepted the offer because i was going to get paid for helping. Painting is hard. I didn't think it was that difficult. but it is. And so is moving furniture and ripping out carpet. Which i had not signed up to do. But thats ok. It was still fun. I got dinner and lunch out of it. And i am sure i'll get more food next week when i go back to help her. it really is quite the task though. if i had pictures i would post them but they would be boring. We have only one room finished. The lighter tan. i didn't get to even start the yellow. I am mostly excited to do the darker tan though cause it will be the most drastic change on the walls. i am sorry you had to read all this boring stuff about painting but it made me really tired.

i have a job interview today. everyone please keep your fingers crossed cause i need a job very badly. not just for the money either, i am getting very very bored sitting at home all day, when i'm not painting at least. i don't think any of this is really making an sense but oh well.

i am getting my haircut today. so that is super exciting. i love getting my hair cut. its like having new hair....ok i really am done now.

how about

ta da!! I have a phone again! My old phone...but still, a phone.... Not that I really cared. Cause i don't really ever use my phones anyways. But still its the security. I don't think my other phone will ever be brought back to life from its journeys down the toilet.

I went rock climbing the other day.






















ok so...it really wasn't much of a climb...maybe...i don't even know. It was pretty tall though. And i was scared out of my mind the entire time and still felt like i was going to cry when i was back on the ground. But it was waaay super fun and i hope i get to try it again. Maybe i wont feel so emotional next time.

i really enjoy peanut butter. My license plates came for my car. They look cool cause their shiny and new looking. And i would like to go wash my car cause its very dusty looking right now.

I am still searching for a job. ahhhhh. I have an interview for a Hallmark store on Friday. There were like 12 other people on the list for interviews, but I am sure they love me and be so impressed they will just send all the other people away....haha. I wish.

I am halfway through reading The Host and if you want my personal opinion I have been bored more than I have been interested in the book. So maybe the rest will be interesting....but it doesn't really look that way. I think she could have cut out a ton of stuff and it would be better.

Saren put all her pictures on my computer so she could put them on a cd. And i really love some of them so I am going to post one of them so you can all see it.













its really cool. The apples didn't fall off in the winter. She has a few more and I like them all really a lot.

murder or suicide?

Sooooo yesterday I was just having a normal day. I went to wal mart and read my books and other such activities. We were getting ready to go to a fire up the canyon and I lost my phone. So people started calling and I started looking around. Couldn't find the phone. It was no where to be found. So we went to the fire, it didn't really matter cause no one ever tries to get a hold of me and you don't get service in the canyon anyways. Soooooo we drive out of the canyon and Saren gets a text from Katie. Katie has found my phone. In the toilet. MY PHONE WAS IN THE TOILET. HOW DID MY PHONE GET IN THE TOILET. Marci even used the restroom and said there was nooo phone anywhere in the toilet bowl. But anyways my phone pretty much marinated in the toilet for 3 or so hours. Sooooo now I have to get a new phone. And I don't really feel like paying for one. But I have my old phone that I will be able to get on Sunday when I go home. So sorry you can't contact me until Sunday night cause all I have is a SIM card at the moment.

There were other events that I wanted to write about but I don't really care to write about them now.

Oh I will write about this cause I think it is soooooo very cool. (sooooo is the word of the day)

My dad went on a business trip to Washington DC this week. On the way home he flew in a plane. And he sat next to Mitt Romney for 4 hours. And he didn't even get an autograph or picture with him?!?! They talked a little at the beginning but not really after that. But I think that is soooo cool. And I think it is strange that he flew coach? You would think he would be a first classer. And he sat next to him on the shuttle thing in the airport too. So yeah my dad is now sorta famous. I need to eat breakfast now so I'm gonna go and write my other activities later.
