Yellostone National Park.

I just weeded half the garden. Of my own free will. yes. I am that bored. on to more exciting things.

i went to Yellowstone National Park last week!! It was so very fun. I do enjoy that place. We stayed in an awesome condo in Island Park. The weather was pretty great to. I usually had to wear a jacket in the mornings and it was kinda windy sometimes. But other than that it was so perfect. It would not have been as enjoyable if it was super hot, like it is supposed to be there this week. It only rained a little and we were always in the car. Awesome. I love Yellowstone National park.

We saw lots of wildlife. Buffalo, elk, a coyote, 2 bald eagles, and a bear. We saw a bear. It was far away. Still. Totally awesome.

It is behind that tree stump (or a "snag" if you are my dad) eating a baby elk that it killed earlier that day. My parents were talking to some guy that got it on tape. And later that day we drove by where it was and the bear was still there. Its right in the center of the pic (center as in center right were the hill starts)....haha you can see it real good huh? My one that I drew the arrow isn't loading. But you can have a look on Facebook.















See. Buffalo. We saw lots and lots of buffalo. The babies are all little bit cuter than the big ones.
Yes?
















Thats an elk. And Old Faithful! Of course we went and saw Old Faithful. We got there like 15 minutes before it went off. So we didn't even really have to wait.Which was awesome cause it only goes off every 90 minutes or so.

We saw lots and lots and lots of waterfalls. And we saw the same waterfalls multiple times on account of the fact that my dad gave us the opportunity to stop at every single overlook for the same waterfall.... thats me at on of the waterfall places.




















So yeah. I am sick of uploading pictures cause it takes 12 years. So I'll just be done with that now. It was a really fun trip though. And I want to go back again soon.

Also in case you were curious the government is currently looking for lots and lots of soil scientists and soil conservationists. so if you need a job....

they MUST go.

HOLY. COW. ahhhhhhhh I can't take it anymore!!!alskjfdlkasdfjasldfkjasdflkj

We're adding on to my house. So the house some random holes in it. you know? cause its not all done blah blah thats just the way these things are. So because of lots of holes there is lots. LOTS. of moths in the new, unfinished part. And somehow they make there way into the real house. AHhhhhhalskdfjaslkdfj asf. its awful. i HATE..... DESPISE. MOTHS. and they are HUGE. so last night i was reading, and i had my little lamp on. And i had my door closed cause i didn't want any to get in. And then all of a sudden. THERE WAS A MOTH IN MY ROOM. ARGH. so i am freaking out. and my parents are alreayd asleep. and my mom was super annoyed and kept telling my to shut up (only she said, just be quiet). Cause i am making all sorts of strange noises and yelling things as i am trying to kill the moth. It escaped underneath my dresser though....

So i am trying to calm down and get back in bed so i can read some more AND THERE ARE TWO MORE MOTHS IN MY ROOM. AHHHHHlfkjsaflkajsfd fsd I was SO. ANGRY. There was lots of swearwords going around in my head. It makes me so furious. So i give up and turn off my light. But TO LATE. Their already in my room. And i can hear them fluttering around my room. And they were over in the corner of my room by my bed. They were probably mating, or pooping on me. Ahhhhalskdfjlaskdfjsf. So i am terrified and have the covers all the way up to my head. And since i am angry and terrified i am burning up underneath the covers. But i can't put my arm out cause they might attack me or something. And i couldn't sleep cause i was afraid they were gonna get in my hair or up my nose. ahSHDFLKJASDFLKSADJFLASKJDF LSKFJDLASKFDJ

deep breaths.................I don't know what happened to the other ones but there is still one behind my blinds. It was trying to get out the window.....I can't take it much longer. The other night the little brother killed 12. TWELVE moths. In his room. i might die soon.

over and done with.

I just got back from the dentist. eehhhhhhhh I loathe the dentist. But this was a new dentist. Not the old dentist. But i just don't like going in general. good news though. NO CAVITIES!!!!!! This is such a huge relief cause i hate the sound of that awful drill. ehhhhhh i'm gonna stop talking about it cause it makes me want to curl up in a ball and die.

But, i had a really good weekend, i must say. On Friday I went to the air show? i think its called that. Its on base. And they were practicing on Friday so there wasn't the millions of people that go on saturday and sunday. I'm not gonna lie though, it was way cool. I think part of the reason that i think its so cool is cause my dad is totally and compeltey fascinated by these planes. His office is just outside the big hanger and airstrip place. It was soooooo way cool though. If you didn't go you missed out. here are some awesome pictures.
















The cursor has disappeared. wierd......Thats ok though. I am going to island park next week! I have never been there before. We are going to yellowstone though. which i am soooo excited for cause i haven't been there in ages.

Back to the weekend though. Saturday i went up to logan to see my home boys, and girls. We went to costa vida. I love that place. Then we went to these batting cages that are only a dollar. it was so much fun and they had this awesome playground to. I got really dizzy. And then there is a fishing pond there, but its only for little kids. But there were a bunch of candle looking lights on the other side of it. so we went to investigate....and someone one getting engaged. Not then, that would have been embaressing. There was some people kinda by it that had set it up. So we left to that we wouldn't be poking around right as they came up....awkward. then i drove home. There was lots of cool lightening and i saw the end of the 5th harry potter movie at chris' gmas house.

;jijrlkkksjsnsooojgja i like the rain. it was raining yesterday. and i liked it.

here.

I read a whole book last night. That's probably one of my most favorite things in the whole world to do. it was a really good book.

i got a bunch of music awhile back. so guess what i'm listening to? yup, thats right. Brian Adams on the Spirit soundtrack. i'm cool.

I had spinach quiche for lunch. sounds disgusting. was actually pretty good. even the little brother liked it.

i cleaned today.

i didn't see my grandma today.

i have more books to read cause i went to the library.

i need a job. still.

in other news...

ok. I keep going to start a blog and then i lose energy and don't. so i am doing it anyways. cause its friday night and oh wait...yeah i'm sitting in my kitchen on my computer....super fun.

anyways today i went to the garbage dump with my grandma.................. garbage dump and grandma don't belong in the same sentence, so i'll just stop. it was quite the adventure though. i have been with my grandma a lot this week..............i'll just stop there. she is an awesome cool lady though. i like her. we picked flowers today to take back to my house for my mom. they are very very very very pretty. i like them.

Yesterday, and today i guess. was my little brother's last day of jr. high. ohhh the emotions i feel. first because he is supposed to be my little brother - and he's NOT anymore. he's huge. but it just got my thinking about my jr. high experiences. its so hard to explain. i loved it. i hated it. it was awesome. it was horrible. i sobbed on my last day. i'm insane. did no one else feel like this? anyways its so depressing and happy at the same time. so really the only thing to do is break down and cry. but what i really would like to cry about is that my kindergarteners' last day was yesterday. and i am soooo sad i wasn't there to see them. i freakin love this kids to death.

ok. one thing. jon and kate plus 8. i think its SOOoooo sad. i watched the season premire cause i wanted to see what they were gonna do with it. but i think its so sad what is happening with their family. espcially since they were always going on and on about how they would always be together. so sad.

in other news. my teeth are STILL bleeding. just a little. but just enough that my mouth tastes completely (that is not how that is spelled and the spell checker thinger isnt working on firefox)...tastes compeltyety disgusting in the morning. and to be honest folks, my family likes to tell that my breath smells bad. so i'm sorry if you have to talk to me, its not my fault! and sorry if you didn't want to know that, to late now. i called the doc and she said i was fine. ok. i guess i will believe you, as long as i'm not bleeding to death. i can chew on one side of my mouth though, the other side still hurts to much to be of any use.

in other news. i am going on a mission. (you think i would have willingly got my wisdom teeth out for nothing??) i have mentioned it to a few people. but now i am telling all of you. (all 2 that read this.....) I am going on a mission for real. Well for like 98% for real. i just can't bring myself to say i am going 100% till everything is done and turned in. cause i am insane like that. Maybe i will change my mind. And then i would feel stupid if i was like...oh yeah i'm totally going....not! just kidding. cause i couldn't handle that. but i really truely do feel that i know that it is the right thing to do....except when i freak out. but seriously i really know that i want and need to go. so unless something of 2% happens and i change my mind for whatever reason in the next few weeks i am going. I just need to go to the dentist really. but can't do that till my dang mouth heals. but yeah. i have ranted enough about that. be happy for me ok?

in OTHER news there was this little paper in the mailbox that said. Hello I am interested in you mazada -Jim and his phone number. the mazada would be my awesome car, Penny Putt-Putt from my high school years (lets not get into that). uhh...sorry Jim, the mazda isn't for sale....?? it was just parked on the side of the house with another car. (folks we have like a million cars when everyone is home.) so i dunno i thought it was kinda creepy cause i pictured this old man creeping around in our yard peeking in the windows of the car....that isn't for sale. wierd.

speaking of Penny Putt-Putt my little bro got his permit this week. Holy cow...lets not get started on that again though...(pretty much plan on me being an emotional wreck through each and everyone of my childrens childhoods/lives) it was pretty funny though, he almost didn't pass.

ok i think i might be done now. its been good to rant. cause that is what i have been doing just now. ranting. i hope you made it all the way to the end. and that you feel better to. i've gotta go wash my mouth out with salt water now....


(i tried, in vain to find a picture of me in jr. high. but there isn't any that exsist on my computer. tear.)

blaaaahh

i'm still here! not really sure how i'm feeling right now though. i went to one of the little brothers basketball games yesterday. i haven't even had to take the percocet (sp) that i got. and i'm eating lots of soup and oatmeal and mashed potatoes. i want a hamburger though. one of my teeth, tooths, holes in my mouth? keeps bleeding at night. so if it happens again i have to call the doc. but really i'm doing pretty good. its starting to swell though now, but not to bad. blah blah blah, i'm just bored. and i want food.

aslkfiownndlklsflasjflsdkfj

well folks...

I'm still alive!!!

I survived the wisdom teeth removing experience. I was super nervous to be put to sleep. But it all went good. I don't even remember falling asleep. And it only took about 25 minutes to get the teeth out. I was only out of it for a few minutes really after i woke up. I don't remember being taken from the teeth removing chair to the recovery chair place, and my mom and the nurse lady walking me out to the car is kinda fuzzy. but I'm doing good right now. we went to jamba afterwards and to get my prescriptions. When i got home i threw up in the sink. (i know you wanted to know that) but then i was fine. i just at some pudding and took some more drugs. but they still kind of hurt....i might take some more drugs...um. yeah. so i'm doing good for now. my mom said i will get swollen in the next couple days...so that will be exciting. woo hoo.......


ps. i don't have TB. yay....

home home home

I'm home for real this time. Last day of work was on thursday. twas sad. "sarah, when i grow up and get big i'm gonna remember you." uhhh. breaks my heart. so adorable.

My friend and roommate, Ashley got married yesterday. It was fun. my camera has been in my purse for the past 3 months and i took it out last week. so i didn't have my camera with me. so i don't have pictures. sad. but it was was fun. pretty dress.

and now i don't have to sleep on a cot anymore. wisdom teeth out this friday. i'm scared.

some movies

Last night I went and saw star trek with my family. My dad is what you would consider to be a trekkie. So by default this would make me somewhat of a trekkie i guess you could say. So i've seen my fair share of star trek movies. They were fine, whatever. But this was a GOOD movie. i really really liked it. you should go see it. now.



And another movie. The Invasion. Have you ever heard of it? I hadn't. It came out in 2007, with nicole kidman and the dude from the 007 movies. I forget his name. But it was on HBO before church today. (free HBO weekend. nice.) But it was really good. suspenseful. There was some alien virus or something that was infecting people. And they figure it out and she is trying to go get her son cause her ex husband is one of the crazy infected people. she shoots a bunch a people and its scary cause she almost gets infected. it was really good though. i want to see the whole thing cause i missed the first part. and don't worry we were late to church cause we wanted to see the end. mmhmm.

go watch.

i must fly

So i haven't been on the computer since wednesday on account of the fact that i have been bumming it at the friends apts in logan and they don't have the internet....i felt so lost....just kidding. Well a little. I have a lot to catch up on, there was a bunch of blogs i had to read and emails to check and i go to get on my bank account but they have changed there website so i'm still trying to figure out how to find the online account stuff.

I have 4 days left of work. And then i won't have to sleep on a cot anymore. My back hurts. its not to comfortable. Its huge there. It's a dad sized cot. Hmmm...what else have you missed in my life. I need to feed my dogs but i am on the computer instead. hopefully the are ok.

i still need a job. But not yet, cause i still have a job.

OH yeah. I am getting my wisdom teeth out on the 22nd. I hope i don't die. I'm scared.

I went to a bonfire last night and my hair reeks. It needs to be washed.

i bought my mom the cutest frame thinger for mothers day. she loved it.

Ok i have to be done now. dogs to feed, laundry to do, rooms to clean, and hair to be washed.

so tired...

I don't ever want to commute to work. I have done it for two days now and that is enough for me. It's boring. ecspically when your ipod is dead and you have to listen to the radio. And i get tired. And i talk to myself. If i had to do this for very long i'd be having full fledged conversations with myself.

tomwowm the first graders get to go on a field trip all day. i'm jealous. I wish i worked with the first graders...

costa vida for lunch today. was yummy. i like that place.

all my grades are in. there fine. i'd rather have an A than an A- though. that ticks me off. If i ever become a teacher A- will not exsist.

so excited!

It's finally over!!!! I turned my paper in at 8:30 and finished my last final at 10:15 on Friday. (it only took me 45 minutes and i was the second person done! i was impressed.) Then i raced home and finished moving all of my stuff out and cleaning. My parents came up on Thursday to take all of it home but i still had a full car load when i went home. Work was insane too, but a good insane. i wasn't almost crying. Which is what happened on Tuesday, but thats the first time this year that has happened. (really, i'm not even kidding, it was INSANE. i can't even EXPLAIN the INSANITY)

I cannot tell you how glad and happy and ecstatic i am that school is over. This semester wasn't too hard, what with me only having 7 credits, but at the same time it was, i've never had so much reading in all my life, but its OVER!!! And now I can read!!!! Whatever i want!!! All summer!!!!

It's also really strange to be home. I haven't been home in 2 years now. My room has a lot....A LOT of stuff in it. But it won't be totally normal since i will back in Logan for the next few weeks for work.

I also want to take a trip this summer. Usually i go to illinois to visit my friend. but she's in utah this year. so thats not a trip. but i will come visit you anyways becki. but i still want to go on a trip. hm.....

and there was something else............hm......... did i mention that i am happy school is over?

Jason! Happy Graduation!! I think you're awesome! (did you like your pinata?)

ok. i think was all.

i made it...almost

I am actually on page 5. it is truly a miracle. only 2 pages left to go.

what are the chances of getting it finished tonight?

.........

not finished.

i found my pen!!!!!!!! it was under ashely's bed!! i was really so happy. it made my day.

i need to finish this stupid essay. i came to the library so i could focus. is it working?? i almost have 2 pages....only 4 more to go. i took work off today in hopes that i cold get it all finished..................................its so hard.

i'm hungry. good thing i brought pop tarts along.

i want a baby elephant

Last night they had some tv show on national geographic about a baby mammoth that was found frozen in the russian tundra. I didn't get to watch very much of it. but they kept showing the scientist guy sitting and pondering and they would have a computerized baby mammoth walking around. and it was so cute. i want one. mammoth, elephant, i'd be ok with either. it was adorable.

saturday i moved a bunch of my stuff back home. not as much as i wanted though on account of the BLIZZARD (ok not a blizzard but it was still snowing really hard). I was sick of walking out to my car in the snow so i didn't take as much. but i discovered something folks. i have A LOT of STUFF. lots. and there was already a fair amount still in my room that i didn't take to school with me. I don't know where its all gonna go. And i took my books home. and they don't have a home. i have no more shelf space for them. And my mom was like, get rid of some them. so i thought ok. i went and looked through them all and there was only one book i wanted to get rid of. ONE. one book out of the lots that i have....so i don't know. they'll just have to live on the floor i guess. but i don't know where the rest of my STUFF is going to go.

i haven't started my paper yet....big surprise there.

this weekend was pretty fun i'd have to say. Friday there was dinner at callaway bistro. good but expensive. i was with hailey and some of her friends. her friend was staying in the new hotel...you know the one. so we went swimming. that hotel is way nice. it was cool. saturday i packed some stuff and went home and unpacked it. then i went to rc willey's with the parents. they bought some thing to put the tv on.....then me and jessica drove up to derricks. derrick is my friend. he is home from his mission. his parents uesd to make us nacho dulces (no idea how to spell that word) and they are real good. and last week at his homecoming they invited us over. so we all came over, just like old times i guess you could say. it was fun. sunday was church and dinner. and sitting around. good sunday.

gaaaah

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh school is almost overrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

i am so tired. i'm not really sure why. i think its work. just the thought of work makes me feel exhausted. but i do have a funny story. well several. but i'll just tell this one. and really typing just doesn't have the same effect as getting to hear his voice. oh man.

little boy: making lego space ship. sees me. "Sarah! look at my space ship!"

me: cool i really like it!

little boy: its from star wars! its nobi-ka-nobis ship!

me: (laughing/crying inside cause that is just the cutest most hilarious thing ever) "cool, who's ship is it?"

little boy: "its nobi-ka-nobi's ship"

hahahahahahsdfkjsdfasklfjdfsalfd holy cow. soooo funny. i kept asking him about it cause i wanted to hear him say it again. (in case you aren't a star wars nerd such as myself, he is refering to obi-wan-knobi...and his ship.)

O M G me and saren went and saw 17 again last night. it was for our own fhe....but holy cow it was sooo very laugh out loud funny. I mean it was zac efron. but do i care? no. he was really good in it too. it was such a funny show. so many good lines....none of which i remember. it was funny though. go monday night movies. there was like 7 other people in the theater and we were all laughing hysterically.

i'm gonna die

ok so for some unknown reason i have been watching mystery diagnosis after work the past couple days. I have no idea why. I hate that show. Basically i think i have whatever happens in that episode. its no good for me. buy i can't stop watching it.

weekend. friday. gallery walk. movie, he's just not that into you. sleep.

saturday. home. dinner with fam. no harvest moon. tear.

sunday. friend derrick is home. he spoke. just lovely. food after. was awesome.

i need to work on my paper. bleh.

over and done.

ehhhhh laksdjf oiweajf lsakfj.

I just did my presentation for my geography class. I think it went ok. It don't think it was an interesting as some of the others. But I don't care. I think we were prepared though, I mean we were at the library for FIVE HOURS yesterday. And another hour this morning before class, which means I had to get up at 6:13 in the morning. gross. I didn't get to very nervous though. Which is strange. Usually my heart is beating so hard I can't even talk. But it went good. It's over!!!! Which is all that matters. Now all I have left is a test on friday and a paper due in two weeks (that I am going to start SOON, cause i have nothing else to do. Good) and 1 final. YAY. then I am moving home. Which is happy and sad. I can't decide which. I have said the word which a lot in this blog. sorry.

i need a job though please.

alkjaoijsf so glad that is over.

Oh yeah. I love the rain. It's wetter than the snow. I don't like that cause it means my pants will get wet on the bottom, WHICH i HATE. But i do LOVE the rain. and gray skies. I like gray. and i like the rain. so its a good thing.

does anyone know where the media collections is in the library?

we went to the dam gift shop.

Well I'm back from Vegas. Or did you even know I was gone. Well know you know where I was and now i'm back....

It was a pretty fun trip. I mean the Thunder from Down Under was probably the highlight of the whole thing....hahaha juuuust kidding. I wouldn't go see that .....(Thunder from Down Under is basically a male strip show kinda thing if you didn't know.)

No really the highlight of the trip was hoover dam. I don't know why. That was just the funnest part of the trip. If you don't know my little brother. Which you should. Everyone should know this kid, he's hilarious. He would not stop singing. Whenever we were in the car he was singing. I'm dreaming of a white christmas was a favorite. and this morning when we got in the car he was singing i'm too sexy for my shirt. He adds in his own lyrics as well. It's so funny. But yeah.

there was basketball, thats why we were down there. They lost all thier games though. Sad. The last game was way close and they only lost by 2 points. We saw the fountains at the bellagio. We were gonna go find the gardens that they have there but my family thought i was crazy and i am pretty sure we turned around just a little before we would have seen them. umm...no gambling. Travis was going to give me money so that i could gamble for him. but then he bought a pair of shoes, so no gambling for him. we went to joes crab shack on sat. i like that place.

oh yeah. i read a 500 page book in two days and its still school. go me. and it was SO SAD. one of the main characters DIED. it was so awful. I almost started to cry. There were tears in my eyes. I am still upset. I coudn't believe that she had him die. I didn't even realize that he was dead. And then i was like WAIT, he's really DEAD? Oh man. I'm getting all emotional again. i can't even explain it to you. And it happened right at the end. And i usually get all depressed cause the book is over anyways. So it made it double bad. alkjwoaijflf jewija tear.

i love to read. Serioulsy, i don't think you understand how much i love to read. If i always say that if i could spend to choose my life one way, it would be spent reading. I know there is lots of better things out there. but i LOVE to read. in 8th grade i had to write a paper about our passion. I was going to do it on dance. And my mom told me. you really like dance but reading is really your passion. She was right. I love it. I get excited when i think about reading books. ok. i'll be done rambling now about that. and let you look at some pictures.


m&m world. I LOVED this wall. I could have stared at it all day.


My shoes. Try not to be jealous.



Me and T-rav. We are beautiful people.




















The dam. Thought these were cool.


Nose picking.
















So cute. Big bridge being built by the dam. I only have pictures from the dam. Maybe thats why it was fun? Oh yeah. And travis loves dam jokes. hahahah.....

guess what?

I went home this weekend for the watching of conference. twas lovely.

Saturday and Sunday i had to write my paper. on bottled water. which used to be on irrigation. yeah i'm sure you know it was awesome.....mmhmm.... i went to bed at like 1 and then didn't fall asleep till 3 and had to get up at 6 to finish it cause the night before when i meant to push YES to save i hit NO. and so i didn't have my intro and conclusion and you have to have those in an essay.

I was feeling sickish yesterday. this keeps happening to me. i get sort of sickish and then don't get all the way sick. i still feel achy and sickish today. So i hope that i don't get all the way sick cause i am going to VEGAS on thursday with the family. where its WARM!!!!

I get to go to vegas because I DON'T HAVE WORK THIS WEEK!!!!!!!!!! GOOOOO SPRING BREAK!!!!!!! I am so excited. really. i keep telling everyone that i don't have to work. i got to wear my sweats to school even. (well really i did that cause i was up at the buttcrack of dawn. and i didn't feel good) THEN after school i came home and took a nap. cause i could. and cause i only got like 3 hours of sleep last night.

so i didn't get the job that i interviewed for last week. So guess what that means folks, yup. i'm going home for the summer. my grandma is going to be so excited she will harldy be able to stand it.

one last thing. i am watching arthur. i haven't watched this show in AGES. i LOVE arthur. i used to watch it everyday after school in high school. it really has been years since i have watched it. and i still love it.

hungry.

I like tax returns. They are nice.

i am going to the library tonight. don't try and stop me.

i need food first though.

i wonder....

okay okay okay okay. REALLY. NOW i am really mad. IT IS A BLIZZARD OUTSIDE. There are really no words to describe my anger.

So I am listening to Angels and Airwaves. Who I really kinda like. But I usually only listen to them in the summer. It's just summer music. Everything about it reminds me of summer. I like. But I got there most recent cd. I don't remember from who. There was a music sharing fest. So thanks who's ever it was. But I am listening to it. And I am thinking of the summer. And crying inside. I can't wait for next week. I am barely hanging on. I don't know if I'll make it. I have to write a paper for monday. Its on the history irrigation (which for some reason I can not spell.). I haven't started yet. The plan is to go to the library tomwomw. The plan has been to go to the library for the past 2 weeks though....but really. I must go. To read about irragation. And so after the awfulness that will be this week and weekend. I will have the paper done. AND NO WORK NEXT WEEK. Now that is going to be so exciting I can hardly stand it. And Vegas with the fam. WARMTH. can't wait.

um. I forgot what else I was going to write about. I got a bit carried away with the irragation and not having to work next week and the weather.

I have been reading a book called Resource Wars (i know you're so jealous). It's about as interesting as it sounds. Which I don't even know what that means. But I guess it was sort of ok. just sort of though.

I have a job interview on thursday. I am soooo very nervous. Job interviews are one of the most awful things to ever exist. But that would be good if i got the job. Cause then I could stay up here for the summer. And make money.

i wish it was warm. sad face.

bleh.

REALLY! SERIOUSLY! THIS MAKES ME ANGRY. THIS WEATHER IS AWFUL. I AM GOING TO SHOOT SOMEONE SOON IF IT DOES NOT GO AWAY. AHHHHHHHHHHH

ok. i feel better now. but only a little. my thumb hurts? i don't know why.

i'm falling apart. inside and out.

i had more things to say. maybe later. gaaahhhhhh

jaoimrflad fmoi23jroijat akjfaw aowifj asfkn woigj algkf jaowj3 jiaowej sklfj aowij 23nfsdf a;lf io3a

its almost here.

I was just wasting my life away looking at pictures on facebook. gaah. and i was like, what am i don't?!?! how boring. I don't even know this person.

anyways. tomwomw is friday. and i really don't want to go to work at all. I have reached my breaking point. i am done. this happened last year too. There is only like a month left of college and things are getting crappy with homework and everything, and then you think about work and you're like ahhh there is still TWO whole months of elem left. TWO more months of THIS. i mean i still like it. but it is just hard. One of the many reasons i am so glad i decided not to major in special ed. cause i think each year it would start to happen earlier and earlier. and that would just be no fun. and then i would be the mean awful teacher that no one likes. and we don't want that do we?

homework. critical thinking questions. i am NOT a critical thinker. So it is kind of hard to think up questions. critical questions. and the state of the world and the environment. alkjwoiaajfadks


blah, blah, blah.

so glad its friday though soon. and the weekend. and sleeping in. and writing my paper. on the history of water? and the paretnals coming up for my brother's ward's family day. which means. linger longer! food!

i need to go to the library.

Greetings!!

From logan ut. in my bed.

I am sitting in my bed right now because i am cold. why am i cold? because its FREEZING outside. People, come on. its the last week of march. I need my warmth back before i die of hypothermia.

Have i ever told you that i enjoy the sound of typing. (as long as you are a good typer) I think its a really soothing sound.

i have finally got ahold of the ting tings music. and i like. very much like.

i have a show to go to tonight. the salzburg chamber soloists. i went to show on saturday. i have another one this saturday.

i have lots of homework this week. i have a paper i need to start writing. but right now i feel like it i can handle it all. well see how i feel in 4 minutes.

i have come to a conclusion.

there was mashed potatoes at school today. I love cafeteria mashed potatoes. I don't know why. i liked my elem, jr. high, and high schools, and now my works mashed potatoes. and the gravy. and rolls. i don't know what it is. Next week mashed potato day is wednesday so i am going to get them. i am excited.

today at school. we have a rhyme bag. the first item was a scoop (for ice cream) so the they think of things that rhyme with scoop. guess what word my child figured out ryhmes with scoop? mmhmm. yup.

i have no food. i haven't had any for at least a week. yet i still eat plenty. i'm not sure how that works out.

etsy. i like you.

today i got a call while i was at work. the lady left me a message to invite me to young womens, all were gonna do is come up with actions for the lip sync were doing next week and to just come to the church at seven and some one will be there to meet me or just head to the primary room where we usually meet for mutual and it should be fun cause were just gonna come up with something to do for the lip sync so hope i can come and can't wait to see me. only. i'm not amber. so i don't think she'll be there to help with the lip sync.

resource wars really is an awful book.

i got 67/70 on my last test. happy day.

end blog.

ok.

I think I have tennis elbow (I don't even know what that is...) or something like it. My elbow hurts. I wish it would stop.

Last night I woke up at like 3 in the morning and thought my alarm was going to go off soon. I finally opened my eyes to see what time it was. And I was happy cause it was 3 in the morning. Then I did it again at 5. I also have had some pretty insane dreams the last two nights of my life.

I have lots of homework this week. It kind of stinks.

my eyes!!!

Did you know World Water Day is on Sunday March 22? I didn't either. But it is. "People around the world are encouraged to celebrate the day to draw attention to the challenge of sharing water and opportunities." That is from the official unesco sight.....yeah exciting.

Utah State has their basketball game real soon. I have class...I think I'll survive though. But I don't have to work today!!!!!! Oh happy day!!!!!! I am so very excited. I love it when I don't have to work. Elementary spring break is in April and my brother is going to Las Vegas for a b-ball tourney (I HATE that word.) So I think I'm gonna go with cause I didn't get a real spring break.

and uh...there was some other stuff I wanted to write. I don't remember though. I had an emotional breakdown yesterday. That's always exciting.

Did I mention I don't have to work today?!?!?!? I did. But I wanted to tell you again!!!!!!

Oh yeah! I got headbutted yesterday. how fun.

Me and Saren have been watching Dune the past two nights this week. It's hilarious. I love it. I might be a nerd.

oh crap.

Can I tell you some sad things real quick.

Yesterday I lost my phone in the library. I had to go check out some books. And all of a sudden I realized my phone wasn't in my pocket. Oh crap. I went back and checked the shelf I had been too. No phone. Then I had to walk back to the other section I had been in. Happy sigh. Phone sitting quietly on the floor waiting to be picked up. You know when you get that awful panicked feeling? Oh gosh. So glad I found the phone.

Today. I threw my ring in the garbage. I had just finished washing my hands and it kinda felt like I had pulled my ring off when I was drying my hands. But then I was like, no it just felt like it. As I was opening the door to leave I looked at my finger just to be sure. No ring. Oh crap. Pleeeease don't be gross things in there, or have my ring fall to the depths of the trash can. I turned the little flap and it was mostly full with just the drying paper towel. That was good. I just unfolded the top one and there was my ring. Safe and sound. Happy sigh. That was close. I didn't want to lose this ring. Or have to go ask someone to help me get all the crap out of the garbage can...embarrassing.

so yes. A couple of close calls. Hopefully I don't do anything to lose my keys, or ipod, or shoes, or anything else I think is important.

But these sad things were only sad for a minute. Then they were happy.

Tuesday.

My wrists! Oh no! They hurt! Well not hurt...they feel funny. This is not good. Has Harvest Moon ruined my wrists forever?? Will I ever be able to play again?!?!

Homework is not fun.

Monday.

I am at the library right now. I like it here. It's so much easier to concentrate and do homework...which is what I should be doing...but I'd rather be doing this.

This weekend T-rav(the little brother) had a basketball thing down in West Jordan. So I came down home to go with the fam. They totally got slaughtered though. It was pretty sad. They were down almost 20 points for all three games I saw. sad.

It kind of feels like spring outside! Just a little. It's coming though. I can feel is. As long as it never snows again I will be happy. Cause I might die if it does. I can't take it anymore.

So for the last month I have been sort of sickish. I had my nose cold. And then my throat was hurting for a bit. And then my nose was being sick again. And I felt awful last Friday. And now my throat is hurting again?? I keep getting almost sick but then I don't. I guess thats better than being all the way sick.

Girl Scout cookies anyone!!!! They were all over the place on Saturday. But I didn't have time to stop and get any. But if I see anymore this week I'm totally pulling over and buying all of them.

Yesterday's Quote.

(said by 5 year old.)

i'm gonna have a shamrock cookie for st. patrick's day -- but it's gonna have to come outta my paycheck.

Big news...

I GOT MARRIED!!!!!

.....on Harvest Moon....I totally had you tricked for a minute didn't I? hahahahaha. I'm funny... just kidding. But seriously. I got married. I am doing better at this game than BOTH of my brothers. I am BEATING them at a VIDEO GAME. This is big. Real big. It's so fun though. It's not stressful or awful or anything. It does give me carpel tunnel though. ouch.

I had a lovely spring break weekend though with the family. Friday was my cousin's wedding. It was fun. I got to see cousins. and friends. and i think i already talked about this? (you see sometimes i think about what i would write in my blog, i do this in the car a lot for some reason, so sometimes i don't remember if i wrote about it in my blog or the pretend blogging i do in my head)

Monday I ate lunch with my grandma. I like her. And she bought me shoes! Two pairs! She bought them cause she never gets to see me. And she likes me. She's cool.

i'm back up in Logan today. Cause i have to work. Sad face. So i really have nothing to do till friday. Cause i'm going home again. But saren left her banana's. they're old. so i'm gonna make banana bread.

whoa

I just read my last blog. And none of it made any sense. I think I might have been really out of it. The punctuation marks are all in the wrong place and there is lots of random fragments. I'm sorry you had to read it. It was late though. And my neck hurt. So that's why it was awful.

Last night was my cousins wedding reception. It was quite a jolly time. I like going to those sorts of things cause you get to see long lost cousins and friends. And eat wedding cake. Which, can I say, was delicious. It actually tasted like real cake and had real frosting. And I enjoyed it very much. I don't have any pictures of the glorious event but you'll just have to believe me that it was awesome.

I'm off to take the little(big) bro to basketball practice with my mom cause her car was smoking last night????

later.

i can't hold my head up.

So i have decided to start my spring break early. Only not really since I did homework tonight and I had to go see a show. Let's talk about that for a minute. It was a contemporary dance thing. There was six of them . It was stupid. I liked one set of dances and that was it. The rest of it was really just awful. Dancing and just it was stupid. But that's ok I still had a good time. My neck hurts.
Back to my early spring break. I'm not going to my class tomwowm. But just the first one. I need to go to my other class at 10:30. Which stinks cause I still have to hurry home to be to work in time. And I don't even want to go to work.

Sorry this is sounding all so depressing and negative. or maybe not really? I don't care. I'm acutally feeling to be in a good mood. BUT. Spring break. I'm not doing anything. I will be working all alone and working all week. Except Monday cause I am not working and just oging to be home and chill with my family. And the other weeks goal is to acutally try and do some homework. I have some awful papers to write and I should do it when I don't have class and don't have to fill stressed. But you know that probably wont happen. ohhhhhhhhhh well.

i'm really tired.

oiewfalk. mmhmm.

Ok so I really have such an insane amount of homework. It's not even funny. TWO HUNDRED pages in TWO days? Yeah. I don't think so. We'll see how much of I can get done.

So I went and saw Slumdog Millionaire last weekend. Did I tell you that? Cause I don't think I did. Buy I'm gonna talk about it anyways. CAUSE IT WAS AWESOME. It was such a GOOD movie. You all need to go see it. The R rating....I can see why its rated R....maybe....I don't know. I might disagree. So please ignore that, lower your standards for 2 hours and go see it. You might cry. I just can't tell you how much I loved it. I want to see it again. Before that me and Saren went to Borders and were there for like an hour and half. I'm such a nerd. I could probably spend my whole life in a book store or library and just sit and read. But that probably wouldn't be best. Then we went to Home Depot and we helped Scotty pick out paint colors for his house. Then we ate at LaBeau's. I had the shrimp. Holy crap. It was delicious. I was a little scared seeing as it's pretty much a fast food place. It was super good though. Then we saw the movie. Which I said, it was AWESOME.

Saturday I went home cause no one was at our apartment and I wasn't going to sit on my butt and do homework all day. So I went home and had a grand time with my family. I got snowpants! They have suspenders. And I almost bought the most cutest adorable coat over, cause everything is onsale ya know, but I didn't and it made me sad. Then I played Harvest Moon. mmhmm. love it.

Sunday we had dinner for my brothers birthday. I just bought his birthday present. He's gonna like it. Then yesterday was school.......eajklwer lakwejr ahhhhhhh CAN NOT WAIT FOR NEXT WEEK. better yet the end of the semester. It's spring break next week. I'm not doing anything...so I'm gonna take off work on Monday so that I can sit at home for one day. Maybe I will spend my birthday money somewhere......do you want to play?

BUT. Monday. Should have been doing my homework...you know those 200 pages....yeah. I got some of it done. But at 11 Shane came over and wanted to drive up to Tony's Grove. So me and Saren got our snow clothes on and we drove up the canyon. It was dark. And creepy. And I'm a wimp. Trevor was trying to take picutres but it wasn't working. I would go again though. Maybe I wouldn't be so afraid then. I don't like the dark though.

OKAY. must go back to reading's of death.

i had some stuff to write about. but now i forgot it all.

no work!!!!!!

I did not have to work yesterday. Or today. Can I say heaven? It is soooo nice to not have to work. I got so much homework done yesterday that it was amazing. It would be perfect if I could just have one day off a week. Sigh. I am content.

I am applying for some jobs this summer. Really I am. I hope something works out cause I need a job.

I also need plans for spring break. I am working for all of it at the moment...but I could get a few days off. But I don't have anything to do at the moment. I want to go snowboarding again, cause hey that was fun....I will not go to Las Vegas though. Sorry.

Yesterday was Ashely's birthday. We got cake and donuts. And I totally know what I am going to get her. It came to me last night. (she's gonna love it) anyways. Happy birthday Ashely.

I need to get an RSS feed or page or whatever it is.

This is boring so I'll go now.

better.

ok. so slumdog millionaire. I heard about it with the oscars and such, they won a bunch of crap. But I had no idea what it was about. I assumed the mafia. But I just saw a commericial. And its not about the mafia and I really want to go see it! Now! It looked way good. Please take me to the movie!!!

I went to Costa Vida yesterday, cause I was in a bad mood you see. This helped make be in not such a bad mood. Kickboxing helped too.

Aptartment looking sucks. Its stupid. Just let me live somewhere and not have to pay okay? K.

Thank you.

OH YEAH. I DON'T HAVE TO WORK THURSDAY OR FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BAD MOOD

I AM NOT IN A GOOD MOOD TODAY.

it wasn't anything that anyone did. i just totally and completely woke up on the wrong side of the bed today.

SO DON'T TALK TO ME. CAUSE I THINK YOUR ANNOYING.

picture post

I went to the bar on Thursday. For Hailey's birthday. I ate a hamburger and it was really good. I would go again.



We had to show our ID's. I felt old. Good times. I am sure we looked real cool taking pictures in the bar.

Then we had cake. And partied. It was good.



















Then we took some more pictures.



















Then we drank some more alcohol.
















NOT.

End pictures.

So that was all good times. OHHHH and Wednesday was Tara's wedding. Crazy. She is married. But the luncheon was good and the reception was really fun too. I didn't catch the bouquet though...so I guess that means I'm not going to be getting married anytime soon...ha..ha...nevermind. Her dress was really pretty too. OOOOoo I have a pictures!





















Friday I went home. I don't think I really did too much. I played Harvest Moon. Cause I freakin love that game. Then on Saturday I was SO freakin productive it wasn't even funny. I did homework several time and played more Harvest Moon. Then I came back up to Logan and went and had Pier 49 pizza and it was really really really good. I would eat there again. Then we played this game. Its called...And It Came To Pass....It's like a really twisted way of playing Uno. It was pretty dang fun, ya know? Maybe it was cause I was kind of tired even thought it was like 9. No, it was way fun. Then I came home and went to bed.

Sunday was church. And then we started High School Musical 3!! Which I would please, like to finish. Me and Saren went over to Jason's had amazing food. SO very good. Then ward prayer. Now I am here on the computer.


(sorry this all looks so ugly. posting pictures stinks.)

yup. good weekend.

Hello all! I am needing to some homework but really, I can't concentrate until I've looked at facebook, 50 different blogs, and checked my money out. Speaking of money. I spent too much of it this week. Not all in one place, just a couple dollars here and a few dollars there. It's got to stop. I'm poor. Oh well. On to my weekend!!!....

Friday. Me, Hailey, and Saren drove out to Providence to go to Bajios. It was pretty darn good I must say. After that...I don't remember what we did. I think I have some short, or maybe long? term memory loss. Or maybe my life is just really boring...hmmm. Still can't remember. The food was good though.

Saturday. I went grocery shopping with Ashely and got the Pillsbury sugar cookie things that are my absolute favorite. Then we went to Moon Toys, over by Wal-Mart. I think thats what its called? That is the coolest freaking store ever. I wanted to be a kid again. They had so much cool stuff in there. And a ton of fun games. Seeing as I'm pretty much a 5 year old anyway on account of being jealous when the kids get to play with the moon sand, or color in Kindergarten and I just have to sit and supervise, I was in heaven. Saren curled my hair later and it was super cute. Then we all went to Confessions of a Shopaholic. It's the first two books combined and a lot was different, like her NOT being BRITISH. But all that aside it was hilarious. I laughed so hard. And I am going to go see the new Hannah Montana movie. On April 10th. With Chessie. And you can't laugh at us.

Sunday. Church. Dinner. Ward Prayer. Games. Going to bed late.

Monday. Sleeping in! No school!! No work!! Making cupcakes for FHE!! Homework...

I'm trying this new thing where I use the right capitalization. I go through fazes(that is not how that is spelled) where I use it and then I don't. But the other day I emailed my mom and she emailed back and was like...Why don't you use and capitals, I can't even read this....So I'd thought I'd give it a try again.

oh what a night....

I should totally 100% be reading right now. But whatyado. I have better things to do then read about the collapse of complex societies. like us. how depressing. and boring.

i have a story. haven't decided yet whether its stupid, funny, embarrassing, awesome, or stupid. probably a bit of each. So last night me and saren were sitting around doing nothing for quite awhile. we were gonna go do something then that fell through, and then something else but we decided not to. So its almost 11 and we decide to go get ice cream. (i made sweet and sour chicken for dinner. delicious.) we hop in the car and drive to...i don't remember. it was closed though. so we head to smiths marketplace which is closing in 10 minutes. we wandered around and made our way to the ice cream aisle and bought a little ben and jerry's. we still didn't want to go home so we decided to drive over to first dam. So we're sitting there eating our ice cream when this car drives up and pulls up right on the side of us....uhhh.....oh yeah. its the cops. were both just like....ohhheeek. saren rolls down her window. we chat for a bit and then leave. he was way nice. I mean what was he expecting...people making out in their car(that car was just a bit down the way from us.) no he got us. 2 girls on a wednesday night who were bored and decided go eat cold ice cream in the semi-cold car at 11 15 at night at first dam.....yeah...

sorry boring story. we laughed a lot. and the ice cream was good. I still have some but i'm not sharing. I am going to eat up every last bite of that strawberry cheesecake goodness. so don't ask.

work all day. valentines activities. kids are cute. valentines cards. lots of candy. love elementary. it's still exciting when your old. even more fun maybe cause it's exciting for you, but really its exciting to see how crazy and excited all the little kids are. cute. i even got playdough.

ashely the roommate got engaged last night. go ashley.

work

I am working all day on tuesday and thrusday this week. Cause the lady that works in the morning is in Hawaii. jealous. but i'm always afraid that the day will be really long. But really it goes by way fast. I wish I always worked in the morning. Everyone is so good. And calm. umm....homework. there is a lot of it. Kickboxing tonight though!!! fun. I'm excited. I have nothing to say except this blog is really boring. I have my valentines to give to my class and i got my list today of all their names. I am on the list so that means i will get valentines this year and i really am sooo very excited about this. Cause their cute.

i can't whistle anymore. haven't been able to do it for awhile.

tree of tranquility

did i tell you i played harvest moon for like 3 hours this weekend? i don't remember what i wrote and i don't wanna look. But i think i'm going through harvest moon withdrawals. i really really wanna play it. good thing i am going home on saturday. i can play then. it really is the most ridiculous game. you get to be a farmer. and raise crops and animals. i only have a few chickens though...mmhmm. It gives me wicked bad carpel tunnel though cause it makes my wrist hurt like crazy. so its good i can't play it up here at school.

that is all.

ps. birthday was lovely!

happy birthday to me!

Today's my birthday. Thanks to all you nice people that texted or facebooked me. your cool. i guess i'll go backwards for the weekend.

Today. Is monday. i had a test...i did ok i think...and then i left my mittens in the library! and i wasn't going to go get them cause i didn't have time. but i knew that i would never see them again. so i raced back and they were still in my chair happy day. then i went to work. I told my favorites that it was my birthday and she got all excited and was just adorable. then later one of the others went and told the teacher it was my birthday. which was also adorable. it was lady that is the kindergarten aide's birthday is today to. so we got to sit at the front of the classroom and they asked us questions:

do you like to fish?
do like vegetables?
do you like to dress up?
do you like to swim?
what is your favorite food?

oh so very very funny. all so adorable. (have i ever told you i like these little people? i do.) then they sang each of us happy birthday and i liked it.

sunday. i was home with the family. had awesome food. chicken and broccoli goodness. and birthday cake. love cake. then i drove back up to logan and we watched Henry Poole Is Here. which was a way good movie.

saturday. I drove home. parents bought a fireplace to put in new part of house. then we went shopping for my birthday. i got my shoes! they only had one pair left! in my size! i was lucky. that doesn't happen very often. and i got a new skirt. and itunes gift card and a couple other things. and we bought cake. and ate it. go cake. it was my dads birthday on saturday(31st) i like him to. he's an awesome dad.

friday. carl's jr. and hockey game. and. i think that was all. i don't remember.

so that was my weekend in backwardness. i'll have to post pictures of the adventures of tonight if i take any. and of my cake. cause everyone likes to look at cake.

ehhh

oijafdoi ehhhhhh. today. at school. someone threw up. and it got on my shoe and pants. ehhhh. it was awful. it smelled bad. and i had to help. and almost threw up. and now i'm just sitting on the couch wanting to die. i don't want to move. please make it stop. why do these awful smelly things keep happening to me?

yikes

My birthday is coming soon!!! feb. 2. which is groundhogs days. what-what. I am kind of excited for my birthday this year? (oh gosh, i'll be so old.) My family has never really made a big deal out of birthdays but maybe its just more exciting cause i get to go home and eat real food and awesome cake and people buy me things. but i am excited. not sure why. don't even know what i'm doing for my birthday. maybe nothing. BUT my 16th birthday was totally awful. I don't think i have ever had a worse birthday.

I had to do my part of my driving test that day cause they lost my name or never put me on the list or something. So i had to drive around with Coach don't-remember and tony kent for 3 hours. so exciting.... and then i was all excited to go home and eat cake and my mom got the wrong kind of frosting. that whipped crap. yeah, awful. I think i almost started to cry. i don't remember anything else. driving around and the wrong frosting. geez. my mom knows what to get now though.

Scotty got saren some yogurt cause he's nice. its blueberry acai. i ate some. no one's home. she'll never know. but it tastes like a blueberry bagel with cream cheese on it. only in yogurt form. so it was good...i think? i couldn't decide. it was decent though. its Yoplus+digestive. so i guess i'll let you know how it digests.............

i am attempting to apply for scholarships this year with the CNR cause no one applies for them so i figure i might have a chance. its ridiculous though cause i have to write an essay about why i'm so cool and a school resume...which has nothing on it...i don't do clubs. so yeah. its stupid. but im doing it. just to see. cause money is nice.



This is from my birthday last year. My hair was short.

go back to your sinful card playing

So i was just looking through the free on demand movies and guess what was there? Far and Away!! I love this movie a lot. Me and millie always used to watch it at her house when i was little. and then i watched it once with becki and....shelby? and it was hilarious. so thats what i am doing now. watching far and away. cause its awesome.

for my class called, environment and society we have been reading this book called guns, germs, and steel. we have read the whole thing in 3 weeks. i have had some pretty insane reading assignments. i have actually read the whole thing minus 1 chapter and some skimming of a few other chapters. so i will tell you know what the entire 400+ pages are about.

ITS ALL ABOUT FOOD PRODUCTION

everything, EVERYTHING goes back to food production. there. now you don't have to read it. the book is...interesting. but yeah. exciting.

i think i might make rice krispie treats tonight. want one?

boardin' at the beave

i went snowboarding yesterday!! it was sooo very much a lot of fun. really i want to go again. Saren had free tickets so that is awesome(cause she is awesome. ha!). I just had to pay to rent my board. The first time i went was in like...9th grade or something. But i thought i did a pretty good job. I only fell a few times. Which is pretty good for the second time in like 5 years. I really only fell when i would try and do something, like going backwards. OH YEAH! I actually didn't fall off the list!!! well i did few times....buy i made it like 13 times!! Saren had to hold on to me every time. but yeah. i didn't fall, thats all that matters. The weather was awesome. We were in our hoodies the whole time, didn't even need our coats. uh....i want to go again. i thought it was so super fun. funner than the last time i went skiing. i feel like this blog is boring.

i went kickboxing that same night. holy cow. i hurt. my arms and back are really sore.

lets see...i have lots of homework. which i haven't started. and i have a show to go to tomwowm for art 3300...so less time for hw tomwowmw....so i dunno when i'm gonna do it...

oh yeah! saren cut my hair today. and she even curled it for me! it looks really cute. i wish i could do hair. but as we all know. i can't.

done.

ps. i am selling one of my prom dresses from high school on ksl.com. so if you need one. you should buy it.

weekend? half of it anways...

Weekend = good.

hmmm lets see. friday....i don't even remember what....it must have been good.

saturday was good. i went home to do my laundry. 4 loads. that is a lot. then my family came up to logan to go to the basketball game. we went to the maddox drive-in place to eat. i thought it was good. but my mom doesn't really like it there. but i enjoyed myself. then we went up to logan. i didn't sit with the parentals since they had to buy tickets and i get in for free. game was excellent...half court shots...the ref hurt himself and had to be helped off the court....and good looking sweaty basketball players, i mean what more could you ask for??

again with friday....i still can't remember. really. friday night didn't happen? maybe i was drunk and passed out? drugs? i was asleep? nothing is coming to me.

today is sunday. i had to go to church by myself for the second week in a row. this is not an enjoyable experience. i would please like it to stop. k really its not that bad but still.

tomwomw there is no school!!! or school!!!! being work!!!! yaaay. so that means i get to do homework!!!! which is good. reading. lots of reading to do.

kk. so my brother went on his mission to mongolia. and two years is a long time. so he comes out with these crazy random stories all the time. and he's been home for...9 months or something. (wow that is a long time. wow.) so the other day in the library when i saw him he got talking about his mission...oh we were talking about drunk people? anyways. i guess this one time(and who knows its probably happened more than once) but this drunk guy came into his apt and was like going to kill him and the other missionaries. and one of the missionaries tried to tackle him or run out of the room and got punched. and somehow they got around him and were running for their lives down the dark hallway(cause they don't have lights in the hallways) and he was trying to chase after them......yeah crazy weird scary, i don't even believe half of the things he tells me cause they are so crazy. he has tons of stories like that and just pulls them out of now where and is like, oh yeah, this one time when i almost died.......anyways crazy stuff that doesn't seem real. cool.

friday....

TUESDAY! me and saren are going snowboarding!! cause she has free passes to beaver. so i am going to snowbaord! and fall off the lift a lot! cause i don't have to work on tuesday! go teacher work day!!!

FRIDAY! i have just remembered. that was strange. i think i am going crazy. we went over to austin/jason's for a root beer float shindig. that is what we did. had root beer floats. mmhmm. then we had pizza. cause brad is awesome. and likes to always have pizza. cause he works at papa murphy's.

the pain...

As you all should know, Saren and myself went to kickboxing last week. Now it was a pretty hard workout but tons of fun and I wanted to go back for sure. So today rolls around and Saren had to go meet with people for stuff...so she wasn't going to be able to go to kickboxing at 6:30. So we decided to try out the 'power toning' class at 5:30. Now I have gone to classes like this before, when I worked at the gym. They were hard but I really liked them. so... i figured it would be something similar. HOLY. COW. I almost died. It was INSANE. I told Saren I hated her like 4 during the class. And I meant it. It was one of the freakin hardest things I have ever done. I was shaking and weak and towards the end I couldn't stop laughing because it was just so ridiculous. She worked every single muscle group and we would do about a million reps with each one. And I should have used lighter weights. But 5 pounds? I figured I could handle it. She kept doing all this crazy stuff. And the abs went on for about 15 of the longest minutes of my life. We did all this crazy stuff and I was just laughing on the ground by this time. Thinking about how much I hated Saren for making me come to this torture chamber.

The class FINALLY ended and I slowly stopped hating Saren. I am still kinda shaky though. And I am already getting sore. The chances of me not being able to get out of bed in the morning are pretty good I would say. So moral of the story is: I am in terrible shape. I'd like to think I used to be in pretty good shape in my youth. I used to dance and tumble about 4 days a week. And yeah...I used to exercise I guess. Then the summer I was working at the gym I would go to the classes all the time. Yeah...anyways you don't really care about that. But I am gonna keep going cause its fun. To kickboxing. I won't be going back to that class of evil for awhile. Not unless Saren wants me to actually harm her.

Now I must write a definition of "what is geography" gag me. I think I am just not liking this class I have cause I don't really like the teacher. She just...i dunno, bugs me.

I had something else to write about......work was awesome today! There should be more days like that. always. There was something else though....darn. to bad.

thats what i think too.

i wanted to write a blog but i don't really have anything to say.

i know what i can say. i almost threw up at work today. yes it was one of those days.

and if i were to tell the story, which i won't, it would make me nauseous again. and i just ate dinner.

we just rented house bunny. i have seen this movie before. its kind of a dumb show but its pretty hilarious.

my toes are cold. they're always cold. good thing i have awesome slippers!!

i went to bed at 1 last night. and i didn't fall asleep till almost 3. then i work up at 3:30. and then again at 4:30 and i swear ashley was rummaging around doing something. i don't even know what.

i must go on to do my homework. bleh.


ahhhhhhhhh my scroller thing on my mouse pad isn't working. gaah

the new year.

I should be reading the rest of my homework. But i am angry at it cause its sideways and it doesn't turn around. and i'm not gonna print it off. plus i know its going to be stupid. cause all the other articles i just read plus the book i am reading are stupid. i can't say that i don't think they're not interesting. cause i guess some of it is. but other stuff is just stupid. like the chapter i just spent the last hour on. it was about the wilderness....and how there is no real wilderness....and we have created this romanticized idea of what the wilderness really is....and then i kind of stopped caring and so i couldn't tell you what the real point of it was about....

i got slippers!! they are pretty awesome. i would take a picture but i don't know where my camera is. they are boots. that are slippers. and they're grey (of course) and yellow stripedness. so very lovely. and fleece. and warm. no more cold toes!

i need to go grocery shopping...i don't really have food. but have somehow managed to survive the past week without it.

me and saren went to kickboxing at the rec center on tuesday. twas awesome. only 2 bucks! it was so fun. i miss working out like that. i was sore, still am. so fun, will be going again. and again. you should all come with us cause its so great!

hmmm...i guess i have run out of things to say. so i'll just be flipping the computer over so i can read my last article.

school begin

i had 99 posts last year. i almost made it to 100.


so....the semester hasn't gotten off to the greatest start ever....it stood outside for like 20 min and FROZE MY FACE OFF waiting for the shuttle. i should have just walked. no...it had to have been longer than 20 min, more like 25 - 30 minutes. so that made me almost 15 minutes late for class. then she only talked for 10 more minutes and then we were done. and i'm not even going to class on wed. oh dear. this is ridiculous. but not to worry. that class is going to be really....i was just going to say stupid, but i guess i'll give it a chance. so now i'm chilling in the library cause i don't have class till 10:30. but not to worry...i already have homework!!! so i'll just go get started on that......

(squeak...squeak...squeak)

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

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

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

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

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

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

4- i might have sustained some smoke inhalation injuries.

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

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

christmas time

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

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



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



Sometimes I try to be crafty.



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

Dear snow,

stop.

ehhhhhhhh

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

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

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

christmas is coming!

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

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

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

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

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

cold

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

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

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

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

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

sad day.

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

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


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

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

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

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

done.

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

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

i think that was all.

refocus

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

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

real quick.

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

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

ok. i must be off.

its almost over

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

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

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

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

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