Rainy Days

I figured, hey, it's a rainy day, so why not wear an umbrella necklace? I found these at Etsy.

My 5th nephew

He's really cute! He was born to Ethan & Rachel in Cedar City this morning, 7 lbs. 13 oz. and is 20.5 inches tall. LOVE HIM!

North and South

not the alfred hitchcock, the BBC. and it is soooo worth his constant scowling to watch him smile at the end. after he kisses her mouth, of course.

It's been fun

To my elementary PE class that I will teach for the last time tomorrow:

It's been fun. You helped me learn that: no, you do not want to be my friends, you want me to be your teacher. And make you have fun. So that is what I will try to do from now on to everyone I teach. make learning as painless as possible without being your friend.

I watch a different television show each weeknight.

Monday is American Gladiator night. About 50 people gather in one apartment in my complex and watch it. Some people dress up, and we are all rooting for one side or the other. It gets pretty intense.

Tuesday and Wednesday nights are American Idol. They are down to the top 24 now and I am really happy with the outcome. However I would have chose Kyle over Colton but whatever. I am really into the two mormon contestants.

Thursday night…should be The Office. But the idiot writers can’t get over themselves. So I just started watching LOST last week. It is pretty good I think I will watch the first two episodes online now.

Friday night is, of course, Friday Night Lights. Really dramatic but I don’t have enough of that in my own life so it makes up for it. See my roommate's take on it

Thoughts going through my brain

I am going on my second date with someone!
and the last time this technically happened was...hmmm...high school? I guess you could count the summer before last but those weren't technically dates.

I need to get my eyebrows waxed!

I need to take a shower

My sister and mom commented on my horrible breath...sorry if you have been a victim!

I want to be a red head again. Or at least have a red tint.

So I might go on a mission in the fall...should I stay at the apartment I am in or should I move in with my parents? What if I start dating someone that is coming home in the summer? I would go to school instead of on a mission. I wouldn't want to live with my parents unless I am definitely going on a mission. Ughhh why can't I just KNOW everything that will happen to me this year!

my regrets

Mitt dropped out.

On Super Tuesday, I figured that Mitt wouldn't make it and I don't like McCain, so I voted for Obama. I know, I know.

It's the first time I voted because last time I was too young.

And I didn't know there would be so many names on the ballots...I should have done some more research.

The New First Presidency

I would have never guessed President Dieter F. Uchtdorf would be in the presidency but I am pretty excited. I feel like he was just called into the twelve but it's been 3 and a half years! I am getting old. He is the 2nd counselor to President Thomas S. Monson and the first counselor is President Henry B. Eyring. They are going to make an awesome first presidency...I can just tell!


You can watch the announcement of the new first presidency and reporters asking them questions here

K so I work with Bishop Wayne Childs and he is my sister's bishop (I wish I could go next door and ask him all about it) and I really think it is more than just not going to his ward and asking for a calling. Do you really think a bishop would tell the news reporters that this guy did something else? I don't think so. I think it is confidential. I think that if he really did only miss a few times and he got kicked out, well I should get kicked out as well...and half my ward also.

10 years ago
I was going through the most awkward stage of my life...I wore denim overall cut-off shorts everyday and my bangs were growing out along with my sick permed hair. so the bottom half of my hair was curly and the top half was straight. I got my kitten pepper and became obsessed with cats. I liked to climb trees and have spurts of hysterical hyperactive fun.

5 things on my to do list today

1. go to class
2. go to dinner group
3. go to my parent's house
4. make my art postcards
5. get new shoes so I don't have to wear running shoes with slacks to work anymore

5 snacks I enjoy

1. chips and salsa with cream cheese
2. popcorn with peanut m&m's mixed in
3. fruit...preferably pineapple or berries
4. grilled cheese sandwiches dipped in ketchup
5. smoothies of any kind

What I would do if I was given a billion dollars

I, like shell, would give 1,000,000 to the church for tithing and even more for fast offerings. Then I would pay off all my professors and get my teaching certificate...jk I would finish school and earn my teaching certificate, then go to art school and become famous. I would by my siblings and parents their dreams houses then I would buy a house on a cliff in the northeastern part of the united states and buy a year supply of crab and eat crab every day while I paint lighthouses and seascapes. By then I will be a celebrity so I will marry a really hot righteous man that adores me and we will have lots of children but before we have children we will visit every continent and live in countries such as Ireland, England, Italy, Switzerland, China, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, The Congo, India, some South America country, and we'll buy a couple islands and visit them. Every winter. And maybe we will have children by then. Yeah, I will have children first but I won't age because I will buy anti-aging magical potion which will allow me to visit the world but still be young enough when I am done to have lots of children. Then I will give to my children money I have invested so they can live their dreams.

President Gordon B. Hinckley, 1910-2008

It's been a really powerful day at school today. Instead of regular lecture in my classes we went around and discussed our feelings and testimony of the prophet. I am so glad that I go to a university where we can talk about our beliefs during a time like this. I am so glad that President Hinckley was the prophet during my youth. In the events I have been to where he has spoken I felt his love for the gospel and for the members of the church. Through his life I have learned that I too can have a fulfilling experience if I stay active in the church and keep trying to be a little better.

Go here to see some great pictures and listen to President Hinckley.

Have a nice weekend!

P & P to the max

What did I do during the 3 day weekend? Oh, just watched the really long version of Pride and Prej...mmmmhm.

27 dresses

If you are a movie critic or can't appreciate a good chick flick fix, then don't go. But if you need a good chick flick fix, go. I thoroughly enjoyed it. thoroughly. and I have never used that word before.

I didn't mean it like that

"You two off to bed?"
-to my roommate and her boyfriend. My roommate was getting up to say goodbye to this guy so I was asking if they were separately going to bed.

"nice bottoms"
-to my friend's boyfriend...he was wearing stretchy pants with basketball shorts and I thought the ensemble was cool, so I said "nice bottoms" to compliment that combination. No one knew that is what I meant though and now everyone says "nice bottoms" to each other.

I go to Brigham Young Elementary School.

I am beginning to take the role of the obnoxious child again...because I am in classes that are just like the ones I had in elementary school. I have PE, Art, Dance, Math, Music, and Drama. I feel like a kid because I am being taught like one (so I can learn from the teacher how to properly teach and know what it feels like to be taught in that way.) So I am beginning to want more attention and I don't want to be quiet. I just had math where we are playing with blocks and learning addition with blocks. I couldn't stop laughing after the teacher asked "How do you guys feel about these blocks" and a girl behind me said "they suck"

Juno, like in Alaska?

This movie would be really good edited because when I saw it last night I covered my eyes and/or ears for that bad parts. And when it wasn't like that it was great.

There There

It's not going as bad as I thought it would...my teachers are so easy going so I don't want to die that much any more.

Back to School

And I want to DIE!

a time for MOVIES!

I haven't been to work or school for 2 weeks. Since the 21st. And boy did I enjoy it! And what did I do with that long beautiful break? I watched a lot of movies. So the next 10 posts will be about the movies I watched. Have so much fun okay? and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
