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.

it might be warm today

lets see...

today was the kickball game at work. teachers won!!!! 16 -12. We totally blew the 4th graders out of the water. Although I can't say I did much to help the teachers win. I got out on 2nd base the first time I kicked. Someone got out because of where I kicked the ball the second time and the 3rd time....I don't remember, I didn't make it around the bases though. But it was still fun. Teachers rule!!! It was soooo very windy though. I thought I was going to fall over.

Yesterday, being Tuesday was an okay day, dinner was awesome. I spent an hour at work forcing myself not to cry. Work was that awful. I can't even explain the awfullness and horribleness of some of the kids. I got a cool I heart Chicago cup/mug from the head refocus person. She went to Chicago for the weekend and it made me jealous.

Sunday...I was with the family.

Saturday I had to go see Indiana Jones the the second time. It was ok. Not really worth seeing twice in the movie theater. I would have much rather seen Prince Caspian. Which I would really really really like to go see like 3 weeks ago. Ok so...that was all a lie. I am really getting my days turned around cause I didn't work on monday. Movie was really on Monday. Saturday Daniel the Brother came up to sign a contract for his apt in the fall and then I drove home with him. We did...Saturday stuff. I can't remember cause I am all mixed up now cause I am writing this backwards.

I have read some books and I am loving it. I like the library. Cause its free. And I love free. And I love books. Free books are the best.

SHOES. i got shoes on monday. really. on monday for real. I was quite excited. I will show them to you now.

This is the first pair. I have worn them twice now. And they fit wonderfully. Usually there is some type of shoe glitch and they need to be broken in but there just great. They are a little brighter yellow than that though. I luv them. Then there is the green ones. They are also a little brighter than that maybe. They had black ones but not in my size but I am glad cause i love these ones better anyways. And now the pictures are just doing what they want so I'll just leave them where they are for your viewing enjoyment.

job please

This morning when i was driving to work my ipod wouldn't turn on. i wasn't to worried cause quite often i forget to push pause or turn it off and so later when i go to turn it on it doesn't do anything cause its so dead from being on for hours and hours.

soooooooo i come home two hours later...work was quite fun really. I got to type up one of the boys reports for them. but when i put the pod in the player thing it didn't do anything. even after a few minutes....nothing...and after 30 min...still nothing.

And just now i have plugged it into my computer....and still nothing. I am no very worried.

Oh yeah and did i tell about my bowling adventure the other day. The kids i work with earned a bowling party and i got to go with them!! I took pictures. I wish i could post them. Sorry, can't. But i got over 100!! that was with bumpers though...me and one of the boys had them....but no one else. he went and asked for them to be put on mine. i guess that means i'm not very good at bowling when a 5th grader has to request bumpers for me? hahaha. but yeah fun stuff. then we got ice cream which was also super good. then we went back to the school and had an insane terrible afternoon. but its ok. only FOUR more days left. oh wow. wierrrrrd. I just got feeling that i am not sure how i am feeling cause i won't be working with those boys next year.

ipod is still dead.

i joined the library!!! i really am not sure what i said in my post yesterday so i could just be repeating everything. i reserved lots of books though. so now i don't have to buy in cause A) i'm poor and dont have the money anyways and B) i have a hard time deciding what books to buy.

saren painted my fingernails black last night. and i am enjoying it. one of the boys asked if i was gothic today. which i knew would happen.

i just lost my train of thought and can't remember what i was going to say......i am going home for memorial day. i am thinking there will be picnicking of some sort going on. which is good.

ipod still off.

oh yeah. i think i am getting carpal tunnel these days. which really isn't the best. but i have already cut back on my guitar hero playing so hopefully that helps. and being attentive as the to the way i am typing.

it just beeped when i plugged the ipod in...which is more than it did the first time. i shall have to keep you updated on how herbie is doing.....i am worried its not going to be good. eek.

ta da!

I haven't written in forever. So here is the update.

I don't have a job yet. And school is over in 6 more days. I am starting to get stressed.

I like my new car. Only I got to drive it for a week and now I don't have it cause they are fixing up the scratches in it. So that it will be pretty and nice.

I really need a job.

I was up really late last night cause I went to Indiana Jones. It was....soso. It would have been good with out the strange sci - fi-ness it had in it....that is all I will say for the moment. But it was ok. I liked it.

i worked for over 6 hours today. I am never going to help my kids with reports. K not really. For some reason I enjoy it and would rather just do the whole thing for them. And I have to go to work from one hour tomwomw.

I read almost a book yesterday. And it will be finished today. And there is more to be read!! I guess if I can't find a job I really will have plenty more time to read.

UM EXCUSE ME?!?! Can someone please explain to me how David A. did not win American Idol?!?!?! I was not able to watch any of the shows this week, or ever really. I am highly disappointed. But in a way I think its ok. He was so young. I think sometimes they people who get second do just as well or better than they could have if they had actually won. I have been watching it on youtube and he kind of looks like he is going to burst into tears during the whole thing when they are talking to him and stuff.

Um....the girls above us are moving in? I can't think of anything else that is worth noting...I'm going...i don't know where i was going with that sentence.

I guess im going with saren up the canyon...maybe not. I don't know. My computer is going to die.

oh yeah!!! pictures of my car!!!

Well picture. I like it though.


















oh yeah!! I went slacklining the other day!! slacklining? can't spell. Basically its akin to tightrope walking if I were to explain it. It was super coolly fun though. I got up and balanced on my own for a couple of seconds to. Never managed to walk without any help though. But it was still super cool and i want to do it again! I'm telling you, you really all missed out. mmhmm.

NEW CAR...NEW CAR

I am sitting, well laying in my new bed in my new room right now. Let me just tell you. This bed is a ROCK. It's awful. I laid down last night and like 38 seconds later my back started hurting. It took me an hour to get to sleep last night and I kept waking up to roll over in the night. I hate my bed. Ok enough complaining....wait one more thing, not really a complaint though. We don't have a microwave??? What kind of apartments don't come with microwaves, how am I ever supposed to make my cream o'wheat????? huh???

ok. I BOUGHT A NEW CAR YESTERDAY. I am still in shock. Its red. So even more shocking. I bought a RED car yesterday. I liked the white one, but it did not have a gray inside. And I really love gray, and less miles. so yeah. not much to say about that, still in shock, will post pictures when I can take them.

I'm staying up in Logan for the summer and I moved all my stuff in yesterday. I like are apt. its really big and we all get our own room. My room is pretty small, but really only a little smaller than my room at home so I can't complain, other than my bed....We have an entire bathroom for only two people, and tons and tons of storage space for our many storage space items. We are going to be very spoiled this summer. Oh yeah. and i need to wake.

Right now its raining. And I think I could lay here in bed all day just listening to the rain. It really is the best sound ever. And I really like that its not dark but not light, just the its going to be a soggy wet rainy day type feel. And i really luv it.

My brother is still home, he hasn't tried to jump on a plane back to Mongolia, even though I know he would like to. He is slowly adjusting....I swear to you all the stories he tells us he is just making up. They could not even be real. He already has a job which makes me mad cause I need a job. But thats cool. I will find something.

I had some stuff to say but I need to go get ready for work...so I will chit chat with you lata

home sweet home

So i have moved out of my apartment and home for the weekend cause i can't move into my apartment for the summer till monday. also my brother came home today. so its a weekend with the family.

cleaning was super exciting. i said the words gross and disgusting at least 231 times over the past few days. i hope i remembered everything. i wrote a huge list of things that i knew i could possibly forget. no one called to tell me about the forgotten clothes in my closet so i am assuming i got it all.

i have currently set up shop in the garage. My clothes are even hanging up there. (who knew that i would ever actually live in the garage???hahhahahahahahahha) i wont be sleeping out there though. sad. i took four days off of work for all of these adventures so that has been nice too. also i have been thinking of changing my major...so i went and talked to the special ed advisor today. so yeah. now i get to decide what i am going to do with the rest of my life.

my brother came home today. 3 hours ago in fact. he is slightly crazy at the moment. due to the facts that he hasn't slept properly in 3 days and hasn't slept really at all in the past 36 hours. So he has been babbling away in english and mongolian since he got home. he came home with 3 other missionaries that had been in mongolia. right now him and the parentals are over at the church and he's getting released. its so wierd to have him home....he is a real person.....i just can't believe it. (yaaaaay my mom's birthday present finally is done!!! now she can get it on tuesday when we go to logan.) but yeah. brother. real. at home. strange. he asked if i had a boyfriend and when i said no i was instructed to go find one. this coming from the boy who has gone on a total of 4 dates in his whole life. still. rm. wierd.

food is the next item on the list. i would like some soon please.

aoeifjjk

I watched American Idol for the second time this year. And pretty much I am in love with David. I voted for him twice, and I might vote again. Hes amazing and just plain adorable. I didn't really like anyone else so I might have to keep watching you know. (i'm glad i don't live on a boat) Mariah Carey is kind of scary.

I have a very large paper due next week. Its going to be a very interesting week. Cause I seem to be having some problems focusing on anything for very long. Class is almost done soon. And m y brother comes homes soon. Oh wow. eek.

Has anyone seen the weather lately???? yeah thats all i have to say about that. my break is over now so i must get back to work.

spring break

Today has been a good day. I took my test, which only took 15 minutes. And then i was done with class. Then i didn't have to work. And i don't have to work tomwomw or the next day or at all this week. This makes me sooooo happy in sooooo many ways. Cause i can get caught up on my hw, and sleep, and not have to worry about anything or anything. so i'm not gonna worry about anything.

why why why the snow?!?!

It snowed today.

Its cold outside.

on the way to work today i was composing a list of things i wanted to write in here but now i have forgotten them all. so i guess i'll make up a new list.

1- i really like barbecue sauce and ranch. or ketchup and ranch. goes good with hot dogs.
2- math boy had an emotional breakdown today. i was kind of jealous.
3- i don't know how you read past blogs becki. they make me want to curl up into the fetal position and die.
4- i am glad no one is home right now so i can movie watch with subtitles.
5- i haven't even attempted to start my papers.
6- i went to ward choir last night. and actually participated.
7- saren. you don't read this. but i think your hilarious!!
8- i had costa vida on saturday! (bajios is still better)
9- i am excited for spring.
10- movie is to good. end list.

are learning about when sea turtles lay thier eggs?

i should be doing hw.....but i should always be doing hw? i need to write a whole page of something that i am sure is really dumb......i don't even know. me katie saren and ashley went to dance kickboxingness. it was awesome yo!!!!

sad news. i have to go to class tomwomw morning cause a girl from my other class was borrowing my book. and then i have to go into work early. which is also kind of sad cause i keep forgetting that i have to go in early. and i just got really sick of writing this so i'm done now.

hunger

um. today i didnt get to eat breakfast. i had a bottle of water. then i came home and ate cream o wheat. which i totally loooove. and a little piece of the g-ma's cake. then i went to work. and some of it was kinda funny. then i came home. and was on the computer for a very long time not eating. so i had some toast. and the toast has lasted 3 seconds in my stomach and i am still starving. and cherry tomatoes. those didn't last very long either. so that still leaves me very hungry and not wanting to make anything real.

break

so i have totally found my new show to watch. New Amsterdam. I downloaded the pilot off itunes. then i watched the other two episodes online. it has really good music in it too. there was a death cab song that was really good but i don't know which one it was. i think i might be hooked.

i went to park city on wednesday with my friends. what a fun break for spring huh? snow and wind and cold and rain and hail. yeah super fun.....no it was. we got pizza hut!!!! and sat in a nasty hot tub. sometimes with old men. yeeeeeeeah. (totally just found the song. guess what i will be listening to for the next 3 weeks!?!?) i so yeah. hot tubbing. and sleeping on uncomfortable feather pillows. which are just awful. Thursday we went to the outlets shopping. I actually bought some stuff. that i really like. the dumb lady in areopostale left the security tag on jamils shirt so we had to go and get it off on friday. then when i got home...she forgot to take mine off too. hahahahahahaha. now i get to go to the mall sometime and get it taken off.

the last 30 minutes or so of shopping were pretty much hilarious and my favorite part of the whole trip i think. i don't even remember exactly what was so funny but thong shopping was involved. we ate at some place on main street that was ridiculously expensive. and that experience was also pretty hilarious. the waiter (foreign like the lady at the store, and every other worker in park city) wasn't a very good and he probably heard us talking about his awfullness a few times. hahaha. but he got his tip anyways cause he added onto our checks.

then we drove home today in weird weather. It was snowing, then sunny, then raining, then snowing in the sun, the rain, and finally sun! then i came home and got on the computer and have been watching tv shows. oh yeah. my shoes came today!!!! i LUV them. even though they are a little to big. but thats ok. i love them anyways.

tigers and lions and bunnies, oh my!

My watch has the date on it. And since feb. is A LOT shorter than the other months it is now several days off. And since theres been the whole daylight things i have no idea what time it is or what day it is. i could totally be late for my flight to alaska right now. sigh.

it is easter this month. and my grandma is in a ceramics class. both of these things means the living room has like 12,000 bunnies living in it right now. life size bunnies, bunnies in cars waving, bunnies in baskets, miniature bunnies, you name it we got it. cause you can't offend your grandma by not putting out all the ceramics she so lovingly makes for you. there is also a few bears. that are holding tiny bunnies.

My brother is coming home in less than 2 months. i can say that i'm not excited but i guess that would be a lie. its just so insanely crazy cause he will become a real person so SOON. In a matter of weeks even. The last day of the semester. Its just to crazy to process. He thinks hes going to go to utah state so i get to find a place for him and me to live. And i really need to get on that too.

a break for spring

My computer is going to die soon.

I have been reading all day. And last night too. It was an ok book. Well...I'm still not sure how I feel. Cause I didn't have enough time to decide how was feeling while I was reading the book. I guess thats what I get for reading it to fast. It was kind of stupid? I don't know.

Its spring break. Which means I don't have school!!!!!! Or work!!!!!!!!!! I can do nothing!!!!!! (sort of)

I have just been tackled by my little brother. He is pretty hilarious if I do say so myself. He has decided that he is now King Travis. And is replacing Chuck Norris in the world. hahahahaaa. oh dear.

My mom just made me make dinner. Wheat Thins commercials are really good. Am I the only one that didn't know it was daylight savings on sunday????

(save the cheerleader. save the world)

soooo the apartment has been been watching heroes lately. i am not addicted to it yet but i defineltiey could be soon. i am not doing any homework today. and this makes me very happy. and i am not going to class tomwowm. this also makes me very happy.

the little girl i help read to hates me. she really doesn't like me. today she was pretending to clean the desk. then i ripped the sponge thing in half trying to get it from her. then she wouldn't get off the floor. then she climbed underneath the desk. it was super fun. but then later she liked me cause i gave her pretzels. but its annoying.

i am hungry. i think i will make some ramen right now.

oh yeah. this heroes stuff is good.

animated description

Just so you all know my brother is going to be home on May 2nd at 3:56 pm. Just so you know that is SOON.

i took a test today. then i sat in the library doing some english. I really like the library i don't know why i don't go there more. Its just so peaceful. Except i was feeling really antsy cause i was wanting to get up and dance like a crazy person, which one day i hope to do. So it was kind of hard to concentrate. I got to use my ipod turbo charger! pretty cool stuff. and now the computer is going to die so i can't finish this.

I decided today in the car that my friends dont have enough anger in their life and so i have to express it for them through my english grade. That really doesn't make any sense but i was really pissed about my stupid english paper. it was good. real good. and i dont like the score i got.

JC Chavez or whatever his name is from nysnc thinks he is really cool. He is a judge on americas best dance crew. and he think he knows everything. but he doesn't.

there is a song called chicken noodle soup. hahahaha

please don't get me sick

I would just like to let you all know that I love Urban Outfitters. I wish I lived next door to one and had lots of money. I love shoes too.

Last night I went to this dance aerobic class thinger with some of the roommates. It was way fun. I haven't done anything like that in awhile. And now my body hurts.

So I wrote my brother and told him the Wheel author died. It was really funny. He kind of freaked out a little. Going on about whether he left notes or part of the book so the new author would know what to write and how if we all prayed maybe he could tell someone. yeah...i thought it was funny.

i'm gonna make a list now.

1- its friday. and i like that.
2- i really need to write some essay today.
3- i really love my slippers. but there getting worn out.
4- i ate really good cereal this morning.
5- i have to go home tomwomw. which means i have to wake up at a reasonable hour.
6- something is wrong with my phone. it just dies a lot.
7- someone just walked in the door. its....ashley
8- she has a sinus infection. shes not feeling well
9- i need lunch
10- i got my pants back!!!!!!! yaaaaaaay!!!!!!
end list.

tomroowmw is wensbay

I got to see the breakfast club this weekend on tv. it was really good. not what i thought it was going to be like but i still loved it. um. i read a whole book this weekend too. it was kind of stupid this time around.

today is tuesday. but we had to go to monday classes. i don't think this makes any sense at all since there were plenty of mondays and fridays that we missed last semester and we never made those up. dumb. but i guess i'm not complaining cause that means i don't have to go to my two hard classes for a whole week.

oh yeah. the really exciting thing that happened. i took all my laundry home this weekend. there were at least 4 loads. and i bought a new laundry hamper! the old one was going to split the next time i was trucking all my clean clothes up the stairs. so my clothes were all over from not having anything to put them in. so i was loading all my clothes into the new one. it was great. then i drive back to school. which jeans on. when i get to school i start piling all my clothes on my bed and i think....uh oh...i don't have any pants.....i left them at home hanging up in my closet. hahaha. i think its hilarious. but maybe not when i don't have any pants left to wear. cause the ones i do have are disintegrating into nothingness they are so old. so it might be comfy pj week. good thing i have to go home on saturday. to get the car inspected, cut my hairs, and pick up my new pants, and my old pants. i will never do that again.

the mix i made for my ipod is terrible. don't listen to it.

sad day.

My binder was kind of just sitting on my computer just now. And somehow got wedged or something under one of the keys, and it just popped off and flew across the room. Now i don't know where it is. Or even what key it was. It's between the scroll and insert buttons. sad day.

LIVE BAND!!!!

Oh. My. Gosh. me, katie and others have just attended the valentines stake dance. i have only just recovered from the urge to commit suicide. it was that bad. there was a live band. i swear to you they played the same song the entire song. only sometimes this lady was singing. i'm pretty sure the words were the same the entire time. there are just no words to describe. DANCE CARDS. they had dance cards. no joke. and we had to stay till the very end cause someone asked katie for dance number 10. for the last hour at least we sat in the chairs against the wall and tried not to cry. and lots of hysterical laughing. and i sort of learned how to waltz. one bright spot. the last 5 minutes of the dance were pretty hilarious also. two bright spots. and we stole the table decorations. bright spot number three. only they were more like dim flashlights about to go die in a pitch black cave. when we came home we had a mini dance party in my room. to help bring us back to life. it was really fun and you all missed out. now i am sitting on my bed writing about this experience so that i will be able to remember it always and forever.

I hate using other computers other than mine cause I can never remember any of my user names or passwords. They are all really close but just a little bit different and i have to sit and type all of the different ones before I get the right one.

This weekend was pretty interesting. I went on a date. And to mardi gra. And sunday was quite full of activities to. (internet explorer is not telling me when stuff is spelled right. i don't like it)

I had something i really wanted to rant about but i can't remember what it is anymore. I should really be working on my essay right now but i just don't think bring myself to do it. knowing that its not a total piece of cray was a good confidence boost though. (thanks dumb writing center people.......

naptime!

Remember when i used to hate naps. yeah. now i love them. they are just so lovely. and since i have no homework and no work!!!!!!! or tomwomw. i got to take a nap.

now at first it wasn't the greatest nap. i was having a hard time falling asleep. about an hour later i was going to to get up. so i laid back down for a sec and boom. i was out. it was so nice i even had a crazy dream.

i remember hearing somewhere that its not good to take naps cause it messes with the stages of sleep and it messes you up if you can't go through all of them or something. so in order for that to all work out you really need to sleep for like 4 hours.

random piece of maybe true information. but my 2 hour nap was just fine for me. now i can go back to not doing homework for the rest of the day and be happy.

blue men and birthdays

so let me just say. i wish i could tell you what happened at work today. it was crazy insane intense. i'll have to leave it at that, so you can trust me. it was crrazzy.

i went home friday so i could go to travis' last basketball game. strange days at rocky mt. jr. high. i am so glad i don't have to go to jr. high anymore. twas cool though, they totally blew them out of the water!!! yeeah. he even scored. then i saw 27 dresses. good show.

saturday was my birthday!!!!!!! the big 2-0! oh gosh i am so old. who turns 20 these days? i got everything i asked for and more!!!!! 4 books!!!!!!! all 4 that i asked for. it was awesome. and perfume and a printer. which i did not ask for but i'm not going to complain. and cake!!! love cake. i always compare all my birthdays to my 16th birthday which was the most absolute awful birthday i have ever had. so in comparison it was wicked sweet. and to top off all those nice birthday gifts i got to go to blue man group with my fam.

blue man group was SO KEWL! now the seats were not the best but it was ok it still rocked. they were hilarious and blue. i now love PBC pipe. and sticks to swish through the air at incredibly high speeds. and it was funny. and it was just awesome i would totally go again. anytime.

sunday was the next day in the weekend. church was interesting as usual. in sunday school we were talking about ch. 16 in 1st nephi and one of the girls in my class declared, "moses is hott." which two t's even. then i got dinner. i love when my mom cooks good food. and more cake!! yahoo!! then i was forced to drive back to logan in the BLIZZARD. in the middle part of the canyon i was just driving where ever i felt the need. and i like 4 wheel drive. so i made it back safely.

then there was super bowl watching. it was really hard to pretend to care what happened. i kept having to ask really stupid questions about the teams. and even at the end, which was intense. i really didn't care. but go giants...or patriots?? i don't even remember who won. they were both close. so they must have tied.

no i should be going to do my english. or not.

i am siiiiinnnnnging

i am only writing this cause i was already signed in. which is cool cause its not always like that. OK?!?!

uh. i got cake at work today for one of the little kids birthdays. i am considering buying cupcakes for tomwowm cause my birthday is on saturday! wahoo. i am going to blue man group to. wahoo.

no i must write my paper. that i am actually not dreading. wahoo.

things i am thankful for

1-that it is the weekend
2-i'm not driving home
3-i don't have any necessary homework that needs to be done.
4-i didn't get beat up at work today. which i think could have been a possibility. i was told "i hate you" several times today. but then i got a hug.
5- that even though it snowed this morning its not negative 13 degrees.
6- that its not -54 like it is in mongolia
7-i have my slippers on
8-i didn't go to class this morning which means i got to sleep in!
9-i emptied the dishwasher so the apartment doesn't feel like a total disaster.
10-i am listening to music to destress after almost getting beat up
11-i am eating 'nilla wafers. gosh i love these things
12- i got to get ready sitting in the sink this morning.
13-next week is parent teacher conf. which means i get days off.
14-i like the jeans i have on
15-no one is home. and i am enjoying it for the moment
16-A*Teens just came up. how can you not love the A*Teens?

i was just gonna write a blog. but i don't think i can anymore.

do you remember the red paperclip guy? that got the house? yeah.

weekends.

I went home this weekend. el matadors is a very good place to eat. love cheese.

also it was vampire zombie weekend on tv i guess. on friday i watched stealth (which isn't about vampires or zombies. but still) with the parents and the dogs. On saturday resident evil was on. which is definetly about zombies. but it was actually pretty stupid. but i still wanted to see the second one. which was going to be on sunday evening. on sunday i watched lots of different movies. i am trying to figure which ones i watched. blade: trinity, underworld, and the fifth element. underworld was a pretty good show, it was on the same time as resident evil: apocalypse, i was very torn over which one to watch but underworld won. and i want to see the second one. it didn't all make sense but i think a lot got cut out for time. i know i watched something else....but i can't think of what it was. oh well. action movies. zombies and vampires all around. so yeah...my weekend was really interesting..... at least i enjoyed myself. and i even remembered to wear my bra the whole time!!

mongolia

that is a cool word. is. and also to say. (side note: my fam got unlimited texting on all our phones. so now i can text my parents. which i do cause i find it highly hilarious. and my little brother can text to. only not very good. which is why he just texted me we won see hes still a little slow and such. end note)

where was i. yes mongolia is a fun word to say. and the side not has made me forget the rest of this. oh yeah. i really like to elevate my feet when i am on the computer. its just really comfortable.

a couple nights ago these people were at my house and they were discussing thier love of dashboard. So I really wanted to join in and be like Oh my gosh! I totally love Dashboard too!! cause I used to. Only thats the problem is that I don't listen to Dashboard so much anymore and cannot profess my love to something that I don't love quite as much anymore. It was sad, but thats ok. I did love Dashboard. Lots of fond memories with them.

I am writing this paper for english. And its about some type of argument. And i really hate what I am writing mine on. Cause I just totally hate it. But I don't know what else to write it on. Cause I don't have very many arguments. I wish I could write it on the arguments of the kids I watch at school. Just today a shoe and prescription bottle full of change was thrown. Only the bottle connected with the head of the intended target though. See that would make an awesome topic. But I wasn't involved. I just stood and watched everything happen.

school again.

school has started again.

my break was quite wonderful. there was the family christmas party and actual christmas and lots of good food. and then there was new years. i should have written this all a long time ago cause i can't really remember all the specifics. oh yeah. becki got married. that is pretty significant.

work is different. my kid got moved and is in a really tiny class now. i get to help this other kid with math and i think its fun. if you need help with simple division, i'm your gal! and i don't have anything to do for an hour or so. hopefully i someone can give me something to do cause that part is kind of dull.

classes are earrrrrrrrrrly. its not going to be pleasant having to get up before 8 every day of my life. english will be good. human geo will be ok. other geo will be slightly challenging.

oh my adventure today!!! so because there is at least 3 feet of snow on the ground it took me 30 minutes to get to class today. which on anyother no snow i have winter day would have taken like...10 maybe. so late. class is way full. find seat and sit. class ends and i head to go get my books. i need to know the number to get them. so i pay a visit to the computer lab. well....had some trouble getting that all worked out. then i finally get the number and go back and wait for like 10 minutes till someone comes along to help me out. then i wait in line again to return on of said books. then i wandered around looking for notebooks that did not exist. the pens i wanted were like 8 bucks. so i just bought a few of them for 50 centish.

after all that i made my way to the institute to wait till class started. i called the mom shortly then listened to my ipod. katie arrived and we went to class. (the gospel and world religions. really good class) when class was over i was like....hey wheres my cell phone?? uhhhh not with me. oh crap. i left it on the chair i was in...its not there when we go check. so i have to wait in another line. i ask the lady at the desk if she has any cell phones. Happy day!!! she does!!!! she even called my mom!!!!! oh dear. that was a close one.

then i happily go home on the shuttle and feets and feets of snow and eat some left over pizza. mmm mmm good. then it was off to work and simple division.

I only have to work one more day. And then i don't have to go back till january. you have no idea how happy this makes me.

Last night i rented meet the robinsons. I love this show it is hilarious. I just looked online and the smiths redbox currently has stardust. which i have not seen yet and would like to see. mmhmm.

Today at school i got bread from the special ed department. Great harvest. mmmmmm. that and i haven't had bread in weeks. plus olive garden leftovers for lunch today. was all very yummy and delicious.

i am sort of almost not may be getting sick. i really don't want to get sick. so i have been taking my vitamins.

if anyone knows what i can get the rest of my family members for christmas that would be great. you can just let me know.

the end is near

I AM ALMOST DONE. i am so close. I have my awful geography test is towomwo. and then i must write my paper. once again if you have any personal philosophy on the environment just let me know!!!!!!!!!!!! I just ate lots of baby blueberry muffins. They were really yummy. i am really tired. i have been getting tired really early lately and i don't really like it that much.

i had this really disturbing dream the other night. it didn't like it so much.

memory loss

As I was laying down on the couch just a moment ago resting my eyes I was thinking about something really weird. But I can't remember what it was. Something about cowboys I think? No. It wasn't.

Today I learned that these 5th grade people have Facebooks. I am not sure how I feel about that. Is that normal? Do 5th graders these days have facebook and myspace? uhhh. I should be writing my paper right now. And since i can't remember anything that i was going to write i guess i'll go get on facebook instead.

its december

The past few nights I have been having the most insane dreams. Insane enough that I actually haven't been able to sleep. It's been weird. School is almost over. Just one more week, a few tests, and a paper and I will be done. Oh gosh.

Today I went with Ashely and Katie so Ashley could drop a paper off. When we got back we were locked out of our house. That was exciting.

Oh and last night Katie was returning her Redbox and she had a flat tire. It was funny. We were quite helpless.

Country music is playing right now?

snow.

yes it snowed today. quite a lot actually. It wasn't the most pleasant thing to walk around in. sadly i will not be able to wear my flower shoes when its wet. cause my feet were quite wet. frown. i was not prepared at all for snow. i need to be able to mentally prepare for what is to come. and since i wasn't i don't like the snow. good thing i didn't have to go out to recess today.

uh. i bought christmas decorations. well my mom did. they are really cute. i have a santa and a snowman and a tree statue. and a super cute table cloth. you are jealous, i can feel it.

uh. i'm done i guess.

i'm out

hm. we had thanksgiving dinner for fhe. it was real thanksgiving dinner. delicious. real. turkey potatigtosifj. everything. and then there was a pinata. yeah. for real.

i have been on the computer way to long.

I have finished all the books now so I can know concentrate and come back to the real world now. I mean i recognize that the books aren't even that good and very predictable. But you just get sucked in. And it's amazing. So yes. I hated the way it ended and I am furious at two of the characters. Which is why i stopped reading in the middle of the most intense chapter last night and went to bed. Buts its over now. Maybe if she wasnt such such a slutbagwhoreface. (i feel very strongly about this.) The obsession won't begin again until next year when the last one is supposed to come out? or something.

I am still listening to my shiny toy guns song.

I think some interesting thins happened this week but I really couldn't tell you what they were. But as for this week its going to be amazing. 3 out of the 4 classes I have on Monday and tuesday were canceled!! woooooo. I am just going to get my tests from the one and then leaving. So that means I don't have school for a whole freaking week. And then only two days of work........ and then no work till tuesday!!!! That is a muchly needed break.

I need to take math next semester. (i would rather die.)(and become a vampire) But first I have to take the placement test. Which I will fail. So if anyone wants to take that for me it would be greatly appreciated so I don't have to start back at math 900.

The thing I have eaten today is 1 and a half cupcakes. But I don't have anything to eat. I am holding out till the break and my mother can take me shopping and buy me lots of good things. But tonight me and the roommates and making a real dinner with real food and I am excited.

I think the fridge is going out again. The temperatuteure is lower than it should be.

I am excited to see my dogs this week!!!!!! and my family i guess.

i finished the second book now. it wasnt near as good as the first one. so after i take my three tests this week i can start reading the third one. but i found out to my disapointment that there is going to be a fourth book so that means the third one wont end how i want it to either.

last night i went to the basketball game. it felt a little like a church ball game. i loved it.

twilight...

is only one of the best books ever read? just a little. got through it all in a day and have started the second one. its not going as good. but don't worry i read ahead and its going to end good. not as i had hoped for but hopefully that will happen in the third book.

i like the song Rainy Monday by shiny toy guns.

and i haven't eaten all day. so i'll do that now.

i should write

I should write in this. But i always forget. certainly not from a lack of things to do though. ....that didn't make any sense just now. I think all the people in my class are socialists and they just don't know it yet. last night i made a gingerbread house. yes the first week of november and i am already for christmas!!!! not. we had to for someones work i guess? it was fun and i got to keep the peppermint andes mints were delicious and i plan on using them in cookies that i will make sometime soon.

food is sounding very good right about not please. i declared my major today. for real. i have really been feeling the need to do that so that it was final. then i felt like i could actually do it. that didn't make sense either. currently the classes i am needing to take make it so that my classes start at 7:30 AM and 8:30 AM in the morning. should i shoot myself now or wait till the semester actually starts. hopefully i will be able to change the 7:30 class cause that is the real killer. i also need to take math......

i wish i could talk about my work. cause its really interesting and funny things happen a lot. i need to be more assertive though. it is a work in progress.

food.

So I am a little out of practice with the whole writing of the papers for school thing. It's a one page paper on a movie I watched two weeks ago. And I can't do it. I just can't.

I went to Provo this weekend. And dress shopping. And funness.

Then I drove home and was really super tired. So I slept for a very long time before I drove back up to school. And now I am here not being able to write the easiest paper in the world.

Now its off to Wal Mart to continue not doing my paper.

happy to be lice free.

So I just found out that i did bad on my test......again.....but on the up side i did get checked for lice today and am proud to say that i am lice free. So if i can just do good on the two tests that i have for tomromw my week will be over for with school. yeah for the bioneers conf for canceling my class. and yay for fall break. So i just have to go to work where i hope nobody gives me lice.

Must now get back to communication, and abuse, and russia and middle america.

My Weekend

i feel the need to tell you all about my friday night. cause i did lots of things but at the same time abosolutely nothing.

So it was just me and ashely cause katie and saren were not about to play with us. so we finally decided on going to the institute fiesta thinger that was being held. Before this we totally splurged and purchased Pizza Hut. We ate almost the entire thing except two small slices left over for each of us for breakfast the next day. We headed up to the institute. When we got there we peaked in the doors and immidieatletley decided to leave. Yeah so it was super fun........ When we got back home we went hot tubbing cause it was raining and we thought it would be fun. It was. For some reason it was really bubbly and you would have thought you were in a giant bubble bath. Kind of like in Harry Potter. Only no ghosts. It was fun. After we were over heated we came back and got in our pj's and went to wal mart and bought assorted cookie dough products. When we came back saren and her date were still playing guitar hero. We wanted them to leave. So we sat in the kitchen. Then room mate Kristen came home and told us about her fun date. She got home at 10: 51. It was that fun. When Saren and her date finally departed the tv was ours. We made our cookie dough into cookies and they were delicious. We watched Just Like Heaven which I had only seen once before and really liked. When that was over it was late and I went to bed.

this has been a very long paragraph and I am sorry for not splitting it up.

I went home and saturday cause that is what everyone else seemed to be doing for conference weekend. My mom bought me lots of paper products. Toliet paper, paper towels, and kleenexs. So if anyone needs to borrow some I will share. tgi's, taras house, and the driveway consisted of the rest of my night.

conference watching and sleeping was on sunday.

i do know.

I got my wallet!! yayaayya. its super cute and i love it. and now all my cards and change won't have to fall out onto the floor at a restearlanet anymore more. z

I am currently sitting on katies bed in a very uncomfortable position. but i was printing something off the printer. so get over it.

I have the great opportunity of reading over 40 articles of who knows what for my class on thursday. I haven't started yet. so it should be super exciting.

for fhe we played human fussball. uhh...i don't think i'm the greatest at it.

nope

I really don't know how to communicate. I noticed today that when someone talks to me I usually know what were talking about but when they say something to me I have no idea what their talking about. That makes no sense at all but I swear it always happens to me. And it takes me a longer than usual time to answer because it takes so long to process what they are even talking about. And working at an elem. school and going to college is really confusing too. Cause someone says something about school and I start thinking about elem. school which is work. Like when I took my papers into the district office for work she said some stuff about school but I didin't know which school she was talking about. So confusing.

Today when on the way to take my paperwork in for work(school) there was this way awesome house. It was so pretty and old looking and I loved it.

Today I got to go underneath campus into the tunnels where the pipes are.

I am going home tomwowm. And I am going to pick up my paycheck, see my new dog, and get a new phone. And laundry. Lots of Laundry.

i'm watchin newsies

This weekend was quite the adventure. We decided to go camping this weekend so on Friday we packed up and drove up the canyon to go camping. We thought that at the most there would be 20 people there that we had invited and knew and such. Around 8 these 2 boys came and set up this big circus tent thing, it really was a circus tent, it was bright red. They said they were coming back later with a few more people. So later that night at like...probably 11 at least 25 people showed up. It was insane. Altogether there were 50 of us? It was crazy. It was fun though. We had hot dogs, chips, a million different kinds of cookies, and smores!!! Lots of food. We took a walk around 1 to look at the stars. Then we went to sleep on the hard hard hard ground.

Next morning we got up at 9 and everyone else had left. It was very strange. Me and the rest of our smelly selves went out to eat. There was a parade for homecoming and we watched some of it and when me and 2 others were ready to leave we said we were going to leave. The other 2 didn't want to leave yet but I said that I was leaving even if there weren't with us. So we got in the car and waited a few minutes and pulled around and waited some more and honked the horn. They still weren't coming so we left them there to walk home. I have never done something like that. I felt a little bad?

For the football game it was rainish sort of drizzle dampness. I got wet. The game lasted 3 and a half hours...and we stayed for the whole thing? Yes, and we lost. The last 53 seconds the other team scored again. We lost, and I was wet. Then Holes was on tv and I watched it and went to bed.

Oh yeah. The past couple night I have been waking up and thinking that my contacts are still in? Yeah and its kind of a half awake half sleeping walking thing. Its really creepy and I hate it. The other night I yelled or something....I don't know. And I don't like it. I know I keep doing it cause there is a light right outside my room and it really is quite bright. You can see everything in my room and it looks like it might be day outside. And so it confuses me and sometimes it feels like I can still see clearly. (which I can't) So I think my contacts are still in. Last night I mentally prepared myself and told myself a few times that I had indeed taken out my contacts.

one day

Last Thursday I went home to go to my cousins reception. It was great fun and I got to see the fam and cousins and it was great. So the next day after laundry was done me and my dad went up to my grandmas house to go to the animal shelter to get a dog or a cat.

Long story short it took 3 hours, I was an hour late for work and she now is the proud owner of 2 cats and a dog. The dogs name is Sweetie. Sweetie is a boy and and has a cold. But hes pretty cute. While we were and the anmial shelter there was this other dog that was really just super cute. We couldn't look at her then cause she had just came in or something. So the fam went in today and got her.

So long story short I know have 2 dogs. Dusty and Patty. Patty is short for Padawon learner. (Star wars) So yeah. Real creative. Apperantly shes fat? I don't know, I won't get to see her for another week or so until I go home.

My carpel tunnel is defeintly getting worse and I haven't even been typing that much.

Today me and some of my friends drove up the canyon to look if there were any spots to go camping this weekend. Well I wanted to kill some of them but we can't reserve anything and we are just going to have to go up and find a spot in the morning. I am really excited though cause I haven't been camping in ages. You are all invited to come too. It should be a good time.

Oh yeah. My ctr ring came today. It's pretty cute, I am just going to have to get used to cause its not like my other one. But it feels so good to have a ring back on. I have been going crazy.

Today for my class we walked around campus looking at trees and shrubs. Then I got to go home.

i am sick maybe

Well getting sick at least. My nose and the back of my eyes hurt.

Today I played a lot of ddr. Lots. And some guitar hero.

Then I attempted to go to family home evening. I went to the house and we were there for 30 minutes or so. This whole time I was wishing I hadn't gone because I really needed to get some reading done. So when we all finally were leaving to go up to the field place to play ultimate frisbee. I just walked back to my apartment so I could read. So I sorta went.

It kind of sucks that I am really not supposed to talk about my job. Cause really interesting/sometimes funny things happen. So just know something interesting happened today. I wish I had more to write. I should stop complaining about not having anything to write about cause that just makes it all the more boring.

ehhhhh

I really haven't had much to do today. I don't really have a lot of homework at the present moment. So I layed in bed for awhile cause the couch is uncomfortable and I didn't want to go sit in it. Then I almost went to go get my hair cut but then once again felt to lazy to get up. This is boring so I will stop writing now.

We are going country dancing tonight though....and that always proves to be an interesting expierence. We shall see.

rain rain. i love you.

Today right after I got home from buying yogurt and milk. (I eat a lot of dairy products) It began to rain. Not just rain, but pour. There were rivers in the parking lot. And it was really windy and making it all really misty and big like...current of rain coming down. Sheets would be a more appropriate word I suppose. Sheets of rain coming down. It was awesome. Me and Katie stood on the porch thing with our chip bags and watched the whole thing. There was a ton of rain coming out of the gutters and pouring on the street. It was just cool folks.

Then we went to institute and the teacher was yelling at the boy and telling him he didn't know anything. And then we got really wet from more rain. Then I pretended to read some of my book for school.

school is still going. I need to do laundry but am going to hold off until I go home this weekend for labor day. You see I can go home this weekend cause I have the best job ever and will never have to work on saturdays and will get most or maybe even more holidays off that the college gets off. You are jealous now. Don't worry its ok. I would be too.

My room is towards the front of my apartment and they have lights that are on all night on the walkway thing. They are sort of bright and make the room really light. Me and Katie purchased some dark drapes to drape over the window but you see we have no power tools. So we are currently sleeping in a state of semi-darkness. Who knew that you would need power tools your first week away from home?

Today I went back to school.

I had more to say but no longer want to say anything. maybe tomwowm

we're moving out

I have moved out of my house. Into a different house. Apartment acutally. Me and Katie got the Hugest closet of them all. You can all come over and have a sleepover in it. I have clothes now. Cause I didn't yesterday. I still need to unpack though but I really just don't want to. I would really rather take a very long nap and then eat food.

My shoes came!! They are so very adorable and lovely. The heel ones are a little large but nothing a little shoe sticker bigger stuff can't fix.

The Enter button my computer isn't really working to well at the moment and this scares me. Cause you need an enter button. They are a very vital part of your computer using experience.

I had something else to say but I really am to tired to go on. Have a lovely day and go take a nap.

I never thought....

I taught my moms primary class today and I never thought that I would have to ask a 5 year old to Please, put your handcuffs away. I guess I was wrong though.

My uncle used to work in a mine. Like deep deep in a mine. Deeper than the Empire State building is tall. Wow that is a mine.

I think I have my stuff for school? I guess I do. I have no idea when I am moving out though. Sometime this week I guess...

Tomwowm I have to drive to Logan to pay 40 bucks for a test that I have to take in order to get a job that I probably won't even get. So I can't wait for that. Want to come with me?

sometimes

Sometimes I get really really really really really depressed that I can't play the piano. And it makes me really sad.

We have lots and lots of very large dangerous machinery in front of my house at the moment. I wish I could take a picutre.

summmer

I got to go boating yesterday!!!! It was so very very much fun. I tried to wakeboard. It went alright.....I want to try it again when its not getting dark and there is more time for me to perfect my skill.

Saw Becoming Jane. FINALLY. I was not sure how I felt after I saw it cause well it was really sad. But I think now that I liked it. And that in a month I need to see again and then I will love it.

I just purchased some shoes on the internet. The one pair was 5 dollars. And thats why I got them. I mean they are cute but I would not have got them if they hadn't been 5 bucks. The others are cute too I just hope I decided on a good color.

Went swimming at logans today and me and Jamil rode our bikes to logans house. It was really fun I felt like I was 13 years old going to my friends house. It was great. I got a crazy wierd sunburn on my back its really cool. Cause I randomly was spraying on sunscreen.

I need food. Real food. I haven't had real food in like 3 days. I need some now.

not really...

after 2 years of weedwacking for my grandmother I think that I have finally gotten the hang of it. I mean I was pretty good at chopping the weeds and grass down now I actually know how. That makes no sense whatsoever but I am sure you get what I am saying.

TomOMWowm I am going to see Becoming Jane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And you can't stop me!!!!!!! I am so excited I can't wait. Also I am going boating tomwomw. Which I am also very excited for cause I haven't gotten to go all summer long. woot. woot.

I get paid today and that is always a good day.

I am slowly cleaning my room out. Cause it really needs to be done and i figure since I'm moving out that now is as good as time as any. And I am like the worlds biggest pack rat. I mean I was cleaning out my makeup today (which i now pretty much have very large amounts of it on my face) and I have makeup from 6th grade and jr. high. IS THAT EVEN SANITARY!!?? I mean I haven't used it in that long either. But I just can't throw anything away. My mom is also afraid that I am going to totally clean out my room like my brother did before he left on his mission. But I don't see how that will be a problem as I can't throw anything away. So I will still have plenty of junk left that I could still throw away but can't force myself to get rid of.

I was going to do all the cleaning at once after I was done with work. But I didn't really want to do it after work was over cause I want to be lazy then. And it is much nicer doing a little corner each day. It doesn't make it so overwhelming.

I want to go shoe shopping.

not happy.

i am not so happy right now. becoming jane only comes out on LIMITED release tomwowm. so that means not in utah. it doesnt come out in utah till the 10th. I wanted to see the movie tomoromwowmrow. not next week. towromw. those filthy liars on tv. they don't mention the limited release part until the day before it comes out. they get me all excited and then nothing. and i just really really wanted to see it. gosh.

put on your dancin shoes

im just wathcin high school musical right now. cause ya know i gotta see it again before the new one comes out.

today on the way home from work(which by the way i quit today. woo hoo. yeeeeah baby. and i sold two memberships) but anyways. i heard this song that i used to love when i was litte. i don't remember the name. but trisha yearwood sings it and i love it. i can't even think of the words right now but i'm sure you know the one i'm talking about. i love it. it made me happy.

i mowed my grandmas lawn today after work and when i got there my gma and mom had orded pizza from pizza hut. it was beautiful.

How 'bout no

Hey yo. I don't have to go to work today. On account of needing to retrieve the car from Heber City. I am also not going to the Fray concert because of this. You see. I am not to bummed out by that, but I can pretend to be remorseful if you need me to be. I even think I managed to sell my ticket to someone. So that makes me happy. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

My left pinky toe that I believe I have broken several times on account of its permantly larger than normal size and funny bone sticking out and that I can pop it out sideways is hurting at the moment. I popped it but it still hurts. I don't remember doing anything to it....I fear that it will cause my problems in my old age.

I still have cupcakes to eat. I love them so much.

I think my mother is going to take me shopping in Salt Lake today?? I hope that we can work it out to be able to go.

I only have one more day of tumbling tomrom. I bought the kids these dinosuar rings. They look like the dinosaurs from Land Before Time. I thought they were really cute but i don't know if the older kids will like them? But I like them so of course they will like them.

I have this mosquito bite that I got a few days ago that is getting swollen? Just a little bit and its all red too. Should I be fearing for my life? I mean you can definetly tell that my right arm is bigger than my left. Hopefully it won't have to be amputated.

I love my dog. He is cute. You should love him too.

I am still insanely jealous that I didn't get to go camping. I still need to quit my job. I chickened out yesterday. I have to do it towmwomw. No options. Weezer is on the radio right now and I want it to stop.

a few thing i forgot to mention

I made my own cupcakes yesterday. They were pretty darn good I think. I put this strawberry smoothie stuff in the frosting and it tastes really darn good.

At 5 this morning my dad and my brother left for scout camp all week. I am super really majorly jealous cause they are going camping. And I want to go. And this week is going to be even more boring than usual with just my mom here. ahhhhhh. It sucks.

I love to read the sunday newspaper. Its the best one. We put a stop to our mail last week and its all supposed to come today and I can't wait for it to come so I can go get it!!!!!

I think that was all?

I REALLY wish I was going camping.

i quit.

Today I am turning in my two weeks for my job. I kind of wish I could just be done today. My break last week was just so nice. I would just love to be lazy lazy for 2 weeksish till I need to get ready to go to school.

I hate quitting. It sucks so bad. It is way to stressful for its own good. blahh.

The Family Vacation

(This is probably going to be rather boring so I won't be offended if you don't read it.)

Saturday afternoon we FINALLY were all ready and made our way to Park City in 2 cars. We got there and I read and was stressed and read some more than was happy.

On Sunday we went to main street where they have this Sunday market thing. We walked around and it was really cool and my mom bought some bread and dog shampoo. One of the booths was selling cupcakes but we didn't get any. I think we rented a movie too only I don't know what it was.

Monday we rented bikes and rode them out to where all the shopping places are in not Park City. On the way home we went a different way that had lots of hills. They were a little to much for me and I ended up walking up most of them. I also has the crappy bike seeing as we only rented 3 bikes and there was 5 people. It was fun though. I like bike riding and Travis is now going to buy a bike instead of getting new game software or something equally stupid.

Tuesday...We went to Mt. Timpanogos.... The drive there was quite long feeling on account of the fact that Travis would not stop talking. He was talking to all of us but no one was responding. He had an hour long converstion with himself. He would not shut up.

I was not aware that it was such a very long, hot, STEEP walk up to the freakin cave. It was quite a sweaty adventure though. The cave was really cool though. Very narrow. There were a few spots I was a little concerned for my dad...He is a rather tall large man. On the way down it was raining and felt wonderful. We ate our lunch on a 3 inch blanket.

My mom and me had to drive back to Hooper that night cause I had to teach tumbling. So I did that on Tuesday and also cleaned though house. Cause that is what I do. Clean the house. After blah blah blah..... 5 oclock we finally left to come back. I was driving much to my mothers dismay. Just as we were getting into the canyon it started to rain. And hail. And blow. And lightening. And was black. I honestly could not see 5 feet in front of me. I found it all rather exciting while my mom was freaking out. It really was the worst storm I have ever been in.

So we get up there and my dad has to go home cause he has to go to the doctor in the moring so he can go to scout camp. We went out to eat at some pizza place on main street and wandered around for a bit.So him, Travis, and his friend go home leaving me and my mom up there. I love main street. No sign of the cupcake store.

In the morning we went shopping....I really can not find anything worth getting all excited over at the outlets. I did find a sweater thing that I really liked. And also the most gorgeous shoes in the whole wide world but I couldn't decide if I should get them or not so I didn't....I should have though. I don't remember what else happened.... We got some more movies and such I think.

Oh yeah. We did the Alpine slide and coaster. o m g. so very much fun the coaster was. The slide was awesome to but the coaster was way way way fun. I need to try the zip line now. We got carmel apples too. I got carmel with walnuts. It was so good. I had been dreaming about it all week.

Friday was the fun day..... The plan was to drive up to Mirror Lake. Which is.....far away sortish from Park City. We stop in the middle at these cool amazing waterfalls. They were awesome. We played and climbed up them for a few hours. When we get back in the car my dad sticks the wrong key in.....it won't come out.... He finally gets it to come out after a few minutes. We think all is fine and my dad sticks the right key in. Nothing happens. The key won't even turn. (At this point my mom is really not to calm. She can get worried over small things)

So thus begins trying a number of things. Dad opens the hood and beings messing around and checking things....blah blah blah. It still won't work. After a bit this Young Mens stake camp things comes to play in the falls. So now we have like some 10 odd men helping with trying to get the car to work. The key thing still won't turn. They are all doing something differnt. They all were reading the car manual and checking the circut breaker things and dropping them and having to take more things apart to find those and poking around and blah blah blah all rather funny.

At one point I am holding up the EMERGENCY: HELP CALL POLICE sign with a little flashing light and got a really sun burned neck in the process. Since the is no cell service in the middle of no where. (Did I mention that. We were in a National Forest place. 20 or more miles to the nearest town. SUPER FUN.) So one of the very nice men gives us a ride alllll the way back to Park City cause we have the two cars. Car in the mountains has to be towed. Because there is nothing left to be done.

OH YEAH. and out of all those boys and men there was not one good looking even reasonable aged one among the bunch. And there was over 100 of them. Was terribly shameful.

We did get to have really good steak when we got home. With yummy sauce stuff. mmmmm

In the morning we got to drive home, all five of us, in the squishy truck. 3 in front and 2 in the pretend seat things in the back. So much fun you should all try it some time. So car is towed to a different town where this morning they told us its broken. So it won't be fixed till Monday and my dad will be at scout camp and my car is broken. So we will only have one car.

So despite some minor set backs it was really fun and I really like Park City. But I STiLL WANT CUPCAKES. WHERE ARE YOU OH CUPCAKE BAKERY.

ps. somewhere in all of there we went and drove around all the big houses and park city and all that. i love driving around looking at houses. it was real fun. we also went swimming a bunch. cause there was a pool.

CUPCAKES!!!! WHERE FOR ART THOU CUPCAKES????

i finished saturday night at 1:13. It took me less than 24 hours to read it. I have some conflicting emotions about the book. Most of them good. ahhhhh.

I am in park city. Lots of adventure. 'splain later.

byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Day 1

After three bathroom breaks and three brownies i have to stop reading because i have to pack for my trip.

i just barely brushed my teeth...

half way through. ahhhhhhhhh

ok ok ok

so the other day i went to get in my car and go to tumbling class. i put the keys in the car and turned. nothing happened. i tried again. still nothing. i didnt leave my headlights on so i must have not shut the door enough and the light inside was left on. (yes my car is that pathetic). so i tell the dad and he goes to the store to have the battery looked at. it is fine. so just now dad puts said battery back in and goes to try to start the car. still nothing. its dead.

my car has passed out and is still unconsicous. on life support maybe?? but unconsicous all the same. i don't know whats going to happen. eeeeeek!

my mom bought this software that just has fonts on it. i am super excited to download it so i can be creative with all those cool letters.

i am going to the golf driving range tonight!!!!!! instead of going dancing!!!!!!! i am super excited and let all you avid readers know how it goes in the morning.

i am now starving and might pass out just like my car. i must go eat now.

I have lots to say (nothing exciting). But I will say it later. Cause there is something else that I need to do. Only I don't remember what it was!!!!!! ahhhhhhh

popcorn recipe.

I am really excited to go to park city next week. I don't really know why cause I don't know what I am going to do with my family. But I can't wait.

i should really get on here when i know i have something to write. I always think that I will remember for later. But I don't. I need to go find a job in Logan. I think I am going to go on Friday with my dad. He just wants to go cause he wants cheese. Last night before we went to the movie we made jello popcorn stuff at logans house. I think I remember the reciepe so I am going to write it down here. Let's see....

1 stick of butter, 6 tbls corn syrup. let melt together. 1 cup sugar and 1 big pakage of jello. Mix together until its all boiling then pour over popcorn. then bake in 300 degree oven for less than 10 minutes.

repeat with 2nd flavor or jello.

yay. now I have the recipe. I cant spell that.

there is currently bugs in my house. I just saw one crawling across the floor. I don't want to get ready for work. Maybe I'll have some ice cream.

I need to finish Harry Potter. ahhhhh

I can post titles now

cause it was not letting me do that the past few days. and I did not like it.

Last night my mom made this really good brownie pie goo. It was really good. I just ate some more of it. I went to Bodypump this morning. I really like that class. Last night was blissfully wonderful because I didnt' do anything. I left 30 minutes early from work cause I felt like it. And went on a little walk with the parental units and the dog unit. Then me and the little brother watched the fourth harry potter movie and half way through I went to bed.

I know there was other stuff I was wanting to write about but I cant think of them at the moment........ dang they were good to i know there. I remember some random thoughts that I was thinking that I wanted to write down.

oh yeah. On tuesday night when i was mowing my grandmas lawn there was dragonfly that was trying to attack me. I am not even joking. It really was. It was one of those hugely giant ones and it was dark blue. When ever I would go over to the side of the lawn it would come and dive right in front of me. I of course ducked everytime in fear that it was going to come and dive into my face and try to eat me.

There were more stories but alas they still have not come to me. Maybe later.

Oh yeah!! I hate Edith Wharton. I read another one of her books thinking that it was going to end good. It doesn't. SHE DIES in the last three pages. Don't waste your time. cause she DIES. I still have another one though that I think I might try to get through. I think it will acutally end good this time. I will have to read the end to make sure.

Yesterday at work.

Enough said.

LOST:

One iPod FM transmitter.

1x1 inch white/gray square w/ small digital screen in middle to see radio station.

Last seen June 30th in parents blue Buick w/ gray leather interior in middle compartment of car. Was attached to iPod and has since disappeared.

If you have seen or know anything about said disappearance please contact me as soon as possible via phone, computer, or in person.

Reward: My love and appreciation.

He has just found civilization!

Yesterday when I was at work, doing my job. The air conditioner froze and had started unthawing and therefore leaking fron the ceiling. It got quite violent and when I went back to check the buckets one of the soggy ceiling tiles had fallen and made a very big mess. Oh crap. I got to help clean that all up and remove the other tiles. So that it was all very exciting and gave me something to do and really hot. As the air conditioners weren't working so well.

After work I went swimmng....I don't know why I go and torture myself at those stupid activties but I go a anyways. At home I went to bed rediculosuly early.

Back to work in the morning. My boss downloaded virus software and discovered that there were tons of viruses and crap and that is probably why the computer doesn't ever work. So it was all very exciting.

Now I am downstairs watching Man vs. Wild. This excellent show where a good looking British man is telling me how to survive when I get lost in Africa. He just hate some raw zebra. But if I ever get lost in Africa I just hope that I am with him and his good looking face...and survial skills. Oh yeah. My dad is asleep and snoring. hahahahahahahah.

yessss. Now he is going to show me how to survive in a volcano!!

i guess intersting stuff happens sometimes

i should post more than once a week.

last week i was doing something....and then we were at frosted rock. and we were all sitting out side on the tables and we met one of the people from akaline trio. I don't know if I have ever heard their music but I have heard of them and know they play at Warped Tour. So I met him and he told us to never drink and drive. Oh what words or wisdom. Then he left to go get in the car with his girlfriend.

I went to Lagoon. It was very hot. We went to the music show and watched Dallin sing and dance. Then we chatted with him. We saw the other music show which I liked. We rode the new ride, Wicked. it was really cool. I like roller coasters. Then we were going to ride Sky Coaster but it was closed. She magically opened her little booth to sell more tickets. So we got to ride on it. Yay. Me, Jessica, and Katie went together. Jessica pulled the cord and I screamed a lot. My Lagoon ticket, parking, dinner, and the Sky Coaster cost 15 bucks. Pretty good deal I think.

We were going to go camping but that didn't work out so me, Jamil, Ashley, Logan, Katie...I think that is all went to the fire works in Logan. We went to Jamba Juice and i got the Pomegranit (SP) Something and it was powerful. Strongly good. That didn't make any sense. It was really lovely though cause I took off work cause of the thinking we were camping. So I cleaned the house and got to read all afternoon. Was so lovely.

4th of July!!!!! Dragged myslef out of bed to go to the parade where I was pelted with candy and Otter Pops and waved at people. (i just unplugged my clock ahhhhh) (ok i'm ok.) Then we walked around the park where the isn't much to do and bought Navajo Tacos from a lady in my ward. The fam talked to people and I listened.

Later there was swimming at Logans with all the girls. After swimming we ended up at my house before the fireworks and I was kind of onery. Fireworks were fun. We tried to play the laughing game or whatever it is and take pictures of ourselves. It wasn't working out to well. We saw Holly to. She's a funny person. Then we went back to Logans and he argued with his mom then we went outside and talked. Then I went home before midnight and went to bed.

In the morning I couldn't bring myself to go to Body Pump so I slept in late and now I have no desire to go to work ever again.

If you haven't read Fablehaven you should. They are so freaking good. The fourth Pants book has yet to impress me as half the characters are just pissing me off. My Edith Wharton book needs to end so I can start the other one which is going to be better than this one. And I need to charge my ipod.

11:32

This poor blog is being so sorely neglected. But I just feel like I am always running around like a chicken with my head cut off but at the same time don't feel like I am ever doing anything. TO BAD though. You will all just have to get over it.

I went to cycling this morning. Oh boy. Intense. It was really fun though. I kept having to sit down because my heart rate kept getting to high. Who is out of shape? Gee that would be me!!!! But the plan is to keep going cause it was fun. She had good music to spin to.

This week has bene good. It hasn't gone by to slowly. On Monday I mowed the grandma and uncles lawn and made some money.

Tuesday was tumbling was lovely cause there were only like 6 kids there and one just cried the whole time and went home early. Then I had to go get Travis from his friends house and I just really enjoyed not knowng where I was going and driving clear out into West Weber.

Wednesday was more tumbling. There is three boys in my class and one of them was giggling at one of the other ones and I decided that I don't really like him anymore. Cause the kid he was laughing at was doing way better than him. You have no idea how hot I get in those classes. Its disgusting how hot I get and no one else seems to be affected.

Then I ruined the plans to go to Park City cause I had to sleep over at my grandmas houst to help her out with my grandpa because he likes to get up about 60 million times during the night. She never needed my help though so I just got woken up a whole lot and laid there and listened to see if my assistance was needed.

Then I went to Bodypump that morning. I love that class. Its just so super fun. I even went by myself cause Hailey couldn't go. yayaya for me. After nothing happening at work besides some decorating with the highlighters I went to Travis' baseball game and read. I watched the last 15 minutes which were the best because they scored 5 runs and won the championship. GOOOO TRaVis!!!!! #1!!!!

When we got home my dad and Travis were being pretty hilarious trying to kill all the mosquitos in the house. I stayed up late and watched these two wierd movies on tv. And then back to spin in the morning.

I know plan to do as little as possible for the rest of the day. Because I don't have to do anything if I don't want to. Oh I wanted to go watch the new rat movie that just came out. Jessica said she wanted to go see it. I wonder if she will still want to. Jessica!!! Only you don't read this so I will have to talk to you later. ok. Bye.

you know it.

I would tell you what I did this weekend only I don't remember...

So...I kind of lead of boring life. But you know,thats ok. I finally am remembering to watch So You Think You Can Dance. I am slighty bored though. I finally finished season two of Veronica Mars. Oh my intense. I can't believed it just ended like that with her standing at the airport.

Monday night I went to the movie in the park which was Happy Feet, which I really enjoy. We made a run to the Little Ceasers for breadstick, oh my delicioussssssssssssssssssss. mmmm I want some more now. Today was tumbling. Oh gosh. SIXTEEN children between the ages of 2 and 5. Pluse that many and more parents and children who decided to stay and watch. It was insane. And I was dying of heat. Only 12 in the older kids class which was such a relief. Work today was such a bore. I did get to read my book. its purrrty good.

end.

its alive!!!

my watch lives!!!! it was given a new chance at life yesterday at the watch store in the mall. i know what time it is again!!!!

yesterday was my day of independence. i attended body pump all by myself. cause my friend that goes was at the eye doctor. it still hurts. and then i went up to the hospital with my grandma and we ate lunch in the cafeteria and i drank a somewhat good then disgusting protein drink and spilled peas all over myself. we had to gown up with gloves and masks to go into my grandpas room. because he has some infection. but that was rather exciting.

after parting with my grandma i continued my independence by going to the mall to get my watched fixed and bought my mom a birthday/mothers day gift at quilted bear. i really like that store cause its big and you can wander around all you want without anyone bothering you. then i bought some short things at american eagle for cheapness. i think i like them. we'll see. i was so independent. go me. work was lovely caust it was only four hours long and i love those days. this onery man called multiple times and was honery(sp). and it was my dogs birthday. he was one years old yesterday. or seven years old. so he freaked out when my mom and dad were home and we took him for a walk. super.

R. I. P.

Yesterday, June 8th at 11:16 am and 29 seconds my watch stopped running. It lived a wonderful life for almost five years. I got it for Christmas when I was in ninth grade. I hope to revive it soon with a new battery. I was quite upset when I realized it had stopped running because I hadn't had it on all day. Oh the horror.

last night me tara logan and kate went to see Waitress. I really liked it. Except the very end because it decided to have a good moral. I guess. My favorite part was the awkwardness of the doctor. If you have any questions or concerns don't hesitate to call. Because I already loved him anyways. But after having seen so many pies we had to go purchase a pie. But instead of being able to agree on one pie we slowly all purchased our very own 6 dollar marie callendars pie. I got sour cream lemon and it is delicaiousl. When I got home around 11 30 the whole family had a piece before they went to bed. Except the dog. He didn't get any. Today I had the lovely pleasure of taking the boys to basketball camp. I even get to pick them up!!! I got them there 30 min. early!!! So they were on time and everything. Now I am going to the library. Because I really want to go. I am so excited.

My dog is laying next to me and he keeps twitching every time I hit the mouse button. Pretty funny.

hey watcha doin

after having a break from veronica mars and all its creepiness i am ready to start watching it again. its a good one. veronica almost got a tatoo on her face. ooooooooo. i don't really have anything to say at the moment. my dance recital is on friday and saturday and you are all invited. it should be really exciting because i dont know most of the dances. escpeically the tap dance. i honestly do not know it.

tumbling is over for a month. couldnt be happier. today i went to jeff's wedding. i sat on babies for awhile some were happy youngsters, others....not so much. then ate some pretty good food. now i would like to go do something as my family has gone and its just me and the dog who currently reeks.

waterworld is on tv. which leads me to think of the show at universal studios that i love. which reminds me of going to california in 9th grade and when we saw that show which makes me think of all the fun and drama which happened then and all the rest of the trip and disneyland and i like that place and now i want to go to california.

is costner a fish person in this movie. i dont remember. there is some movie that someone is a fish person. it feels really good to be out of dress clothes.

the gym

today i went to the gym to work out for the first time ever, i did the body pump class, which is weight lifting stuff.


now i might die.

i'm thirsty

school is over and i love the summer. and not having to go to work. yaaaayyy. i did pretty ok. no D's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! woo haaaaaaa.
on monday i drove across the country with becki todd and kevin. it was a really long drive and i only almost drove off the road once. we stopped in larimie and ate at applebees. are waitress only served us for half the time and then someone else came. that seems to happen more than it should when i eat out. and i think i am going to move to wyoming so i can get paid to go to college...i can not express to how much the state of nebraska stinks. and how flat and how boring it is. even in omaha it was awful. and it was so creepily deserted. we listened to the entire 6th harry potter book in the car. we finished it like and hour before we go to her house. me and jim dale are now good friends. now i am at beckis and i love to sit and do nothing. it was so much fun. and watch pretty and pink and because i said so and music and lyrics. yeeah.

On Wednesday I decided to listen to n'sync at tumbling. i thought this was rather exciting me and the other girl were reminsicng...... when i asked the little girls if they knew who n'sync was....they all said no. they had never heard of them. i was totally and completley speechless. then i realized wow. i must be old. how can you not have heard of the most popular boy band in the entire world. it was a real eye opener.

horse.

a cop just came to the door asking if i knew who the lost horses belonged to. the dog got out and went over to inspect the horses then i told her the wrong house i thought the horses belonged to. then me and the dog spied on the cops while they figured out where the horses went.

my week.

well not really my week. ok yes me week.

monday. was a day.
tuesday. i saw disturbia after work. it was really good. like a twisted chick flick and scary movie.
wednesday. did an insane amount of homework.
thursday. did an insane amount of homework.
friday. went to applesbees for lunch. went to chipolte for dinner and to relient k concert. it wasnt the funnest concert i have ever been to. but it was fun and i got a t shirt.
saturday. i went to work. and then managed to only take a 12 minute nap. katie and logan came to salt lake and becki met us so i could go to my art gallery for art. and we all felt cultured after. then we went and saw in the land of women. which was not what i was expecting but was still good. then we drove around the parking lot and then ended up at pierpont cafe. or whatever. we saw lots and lots of prom dresses. the food was not the greatest and we didn't tip the balloon guy. then i got a parking ticket. and me and katie watched say anything when we got home. which i aboslowty loved. it was so funny.
sunday. for some reason i only went to church for half an hour. i watched the last 4 episodes of band of brothers. it was really good. depressing. not i am trying to finish my insane amount of homework. after today i should be ok. but i just have to keep going. and my goal for the week is to be on time to nutrition......ha ha ha

gross

so...... for some reason i burp a lot.

even when the home teachers are here.

best day EVA

today. equals a good day.

the one class i had to go to we sat on the floor and drew on paper. i sat around for a bit and went to my english conference with my teacher. she gave me my last paper back and i got 75/75 and she LUVED it so much she even made a copy. after katie got out of class i got tara to give in to peer pressure and come to the olive garden with us. first we stopped by the library to hear useless information we already knew. i didnt have to take the shuttle back to my car. then we went to the olive garden and was soooo good. as usual. i only had to pay for half my meal cause i had the rest of my gift card. i even splurged and got lemonade instead of water. when i got home me and the dog took our usual afternoon rest and then i headed off to tumbling. the three little boys were the only ones in my class. i wish i could just always have boys in that class. but they were hilarious. licking thier toes and cody did some of his infamous burping. at home travis was making orange rolls. they were so lovely. then i sat around and didn't do homework. cause i dont have any that is due any time soon. after watching jason and the argonoughts (sp) on the sci fi channel i gave the dog a bath. which means me and the dog take a bath. he is still wet and currently wrapped up in a blanket. which looks quite rediculous. and i didnt eat dinner. how could today not be any more amazing?
