- I have written, published and deleted my last 5 or so posts. Sorry.
- I am incapable of waking up before 8 and feeling good. How did I ever survive high school? I never took naps, and was up before 6 monday through friday.
- Sometimes I drink a Mt Dew at 10 at night, and wonder why I can't fall asleep two hours later. It's cool though. I have NETFLIX NOW! (I am kind of excited.)
- Lately I have been enjoying writing in my real journal a lot more than blogging.
- I am reminded every day of how blessed I am that I was baptized into this church, nearly two months ago. It honestly runs through my head at least one time every day.
- Overly cluttered blogs grate on my nerves. It is the tiny bit of OCD in me, that makes me want to log on to your account and delete all the unnecessary crap. Sorry.
- My last post was on Friday but I feel like I haven't blogged in a month. Maybe it's because I haven't blogged anything worth reading in a month.
- I have watched a lot of movies lately. My favorites: The Diary of Anne Frank, Julie & Julia, The Ugly Truth, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, Obsessed. Least favorites: The Haunting of Molly Hartley, According to Greta.
- The lipstick shade called Pink Pout is amazing. I have been wearing it non stop.
- It is supposed to be 104 for the next 4 days. I am going to die.
- Sometimes I desperately crave candy.. but don't have any. It's been this way for a week now. Why don't I go get some? I am just too stinking lazy.
- There are times when I think I look genuinely pretty, but can't tell anyone because they'd think I'm being conceited. But you know what? I look pretty dang good today.. and this doesn't happen very often, so I wanted to let you all know.
- I am now going to drink a Mt Dew at 10 at night and wonder why I can't fall asleep. (Deja vuuuu.)
You Wanted To See
I'm aware that this post is coming like.. a month after the original. Deal! :)
I also apologize ahead of time for the poor quality of the pictures. I knew I was going to have to take them all with my cell phone or I would never get this post up.
You wanted to see:
"Favorite place in town for lonely contemplation of life."
I kind of cheated. Kind of. I don't go anywhere to really contemplate my life. I do most of my contemplating right here:
My bed consists of remote, scriptures, wiener dog, and stuffed animals. It's how I roll.
Place of work:
This is inside the cafeteria. I remembered to snap this on the second to last day of work.. so everything was put away and getting super-cleaned. To clear things up.. there are 4 different areas. You enter, and there's the area with the walk in fridge and freezer, lockers, office, store rooms. The next area is cold prep and staff window(where I worked). The next area is the biggest, with the dishroom, ovens, stove, and the front serving lines. Then the next area was the snack bar lines. There's also a 'satellite kitchen' on the other side of campus.. which we'll use next year. (I tried to find a picture of the outside, but couldn't. Suffice it to say, the place is huge. And gorgeous.)
Last drawing:
Um. I cheat. I haven't drawn a picture in forever, and can't find any of my old doodles. I will update as soon as I find something!
Purse:
I have not bought a new purse in fuuurevah! I have lately only been using this one.. because it fits my school stuff, and my gym stuff.. yeah. I'm a bad fashionista. Actually, I'm not one at all..
Make up:
I don't really wear a lot. I like lip stuff though.

Somewhere Between A..
Lately, I've been somewhere between a cry and a laugh.
But you know what? I've mostly been near that laugh. I mean.. I have definitely been frustrated as of late. Some things haven't been coming easy to me- such as patience, or willpower.. or strength. But for some reason, I have gained a happiness that I can't describe. I feel like I can be happy by myself, without depending on anyone else to make me so. Have you ever felt like that? It's neat. It's like something inside me got sick and tired of being sad, of depending on other people. So it took over my emotions and said "eff sadness".. and here I am. Happy. Like someone informed me that no matter what happens, I'll be ok.
Maybe it's because I've been reading my scriptures regularly. I've been getting my personal thoughts out on my journal, instead of keeping them bottled inside. I've been working out, and making an effort to stay busy. I got Netflix, so in the moments I'm bored I can watch something entertaining. I've been making fun drives just for the heck of it, and you know what? I'm about to have two whole months off of work and school. Who knows what kind of trouble I can get into in that time! Who says change is a bad thing? Not this girl ;)
Oh Bother
My dad pointed out that when I take pictures in the bathroom, there's usually a "Ding Dongs" sign behind me. I have a tendency to cut out the S. Whatevs. I'm a ding dong.
I love Winnie the Pooh. I love him so much that I ripped the ears right off his head, just for myself. Morbid!
Here are some insightful Pooh quotes for you
“If you live to be 100, I hope I live to be 100 minus 1 day, so I never have to live without you.”
“It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like "What about lunch?"”
“Sometimes, if you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge and lean over to watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you, you will suddenly know everything there is to be known.”
“Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.”
“A little Consideration, a little Thought for Others, makes all the difference.”
This'll Be A Doozy
I suppose I probably should take the time to write out two different posts, considering I'm writing about two different things. But I'm not going to do that, because I don't have the patience for it. So I'm going to show you a few pictures from Disneyland, and I'm going to tell you about my weekend. Friday and Saturday that is.
First, my weekend.
My friend called me on Thursday and asked me if I wanted to go to some concert. She told me it was Julianne Hough and Joe Nichols. I like country, so I said sure. Then she told me to drive out Friday, stay the night, and go with her on Saturday to the concert. It would start at 4, she said.
So on Friday, I packed last second and left at around 5:30. I got to her place at about 8. We had stopped at Walmart for some reason, and I ended up buying a new movie and a bathing suit. I know, a bathing suit from Walmart. But I'll admit, it's real cute. So, when we got back to her place we popped in the movie and watched it while eating brownies. After that she put in Igor, and I fell asleep.
The next day.. she took forever to wake up. So I spent a good part of the morning playing games on my computer. She finally got up though, and we played the Wii for an hour or two. At 3:30 we left for the concert.. we got there, got our free food, and found a place to sit.
At 4:30, nothing. 5:30, still no concert. 6:30, nope. 7:30, nope. 8? Finally. After 4 hours of sitting in the hot sun, the concert started. AND it was getting really cold. Actually, it was already really cold. Not to mention, that gave the marines 4 hours to get drunk. Yeah, there was free beer there. Yes, I got a high five from one, and got hit on by another. Eventually though, he asked me if he was creeping me out. I told him yes, and he left. Yay for honesty.
Julianne Hough played for an hour. She was entertaining.
Then Joe Nichols came on. He was good.
But at 10:30 I was ready to leave. So we left. We were sick of standing in the cold.
She kept trying to convince me to stay the night but I said no. Then no again, and again and again. I wanted my warm bed. So I left at about 11 ish. I got home at 1.. and crashed by 1:30. It was a good weekend.
Oh, and Disneyland. It was fun.
That about sums it up.

Today.
Today has seriously been.. a day. Shocking?
I woke up less than happy, but made the decision to be happy anyway. It has worked thus far, but I am currently struggling with it. I had a realization today, and it has settled me. I know that's vague.. let's just say this.
I have realized that I am too young and immature to be thinking about a certain thing. I feel like the timing is wrong for it, and will be wrong for a while longer. There are things I need to focus on more, first.. like building my faith. Growing into a more patient, calm person.. and more understanding. I'm not going to lie, I had this realization at work.. random, right? But as soon as it ran through my head I literally felt like someone hugged me and told me everything will be alright.
Speaking of work, I love the people I work with. Most of the time. For example, it is obviously coming to the end of the school year. The school decided to give all of the staff (including us kitchen staff) a free yearbook. We were all shocked, but pleased, seeing as yearbooks are generally very expensive. Turns out, the students have to pay $90 for them, and many just can't afford it. So a couple of us have decided to give ours to students who can't afford it. Honestly, it makes me sad that the school just gave away so many yearbooks to the staff- I mean come on. I glanced through mine and it has since been sitting on my bookshelf. I probably never would have looked in it again. Now at least someone can have it who will enjoy looking through it, and actually have memories of it.
Also. I saw this today:
I smiled big. How often do you see a random streak of rainbow in the sky?
I also made a decision today, that I need to make a trip. I need to travel somewhere, maybe by myself. I don't know where or when, but I am going to do it. Maybe I will re-visit Washington. That way, I can stay with my brother and sister in law, and see my niece. Maybe I'll do the same in Mississippi, or South Carolina, with my other brothers. Maybe I'll go out of the country.. how awesome would that be? I just think I need a big adventure in my life.

Happy. Contento
I'm glad my boyfriend came to see me this weekend.
Happy we had so much fun at Disneyland. That we saw Russell Simmons. He was right in front of us in line.
"It has to be him. He's got a 100 dollar bill just sticking out of his pocket."
He remembered to get me pineapple ice cream. Did his boyfriend-ly duty of keeping me warm when it started getting cold. We got to go on Space Mountain twice in a row.. literally. Back to back. Want a good way to get dizzy? Ha. "Why do we get to go twice?" "I don't know, you guys are like, the winners."
In a nutshell, it was fun.
I'm glad we got to laugh together. That we went to church, and that the talks and lessons were so amazing. That we got a couple hours together before we had to say goodbye, again.
I will have pictures.. sometime later. I didn't bring my camera, but he did. He's better at remembering to take them, anyway. I have spent the rest of today recuperating. Drinking a lot, eating a little, taking a couple hour long nap. I definitely think I deserve a hot bath. My calves and feet hurt like a mo. I wish I could call out of work tomorrow.
Ok. This is turning into me talking to myself.
Love.

FITBF
Don't you just love ...abbreviation things? I'm not as dumb as that sounds. I'm just tired.
Fill in the Blank Friday.
I have been blogging quite a bit for a girl who was supposed to be so busy. Boyfriend gets here in a few hours, tomorrow we're going to Disneyland. I don't know if he's staying til Sunday, but if he is we'll go to church. If not, I'll go to church by my stinkin' self. Woo.. hoo.

1. The very best thing about the summer is rediscovering the too-hot 100+ can't bear to be outside the air conditioning for over 20 minutes at a time- desert heat. It really is fabulous. Also, escaping it by going to San Diego. No work. Beaches. Fresh fruit stands opening up .
2. My first crush ever was well, either Bryce or William. I vaguely remember the first being a cute boy in Kindergarten. William though, was HANDSOME. Slicked over hair, argyle vests. Boy was a hot, hot 4th grader. No jokes.
3. This may sound really silly but pink elephants don't eat green grass.
4. I squeeze my toothpaste from uh oh, everyone is gonna hate me. I squeeze from wherever the heck I want to! Which is usually the middle. It's just awkward for me to squeeze from the top with toothbrush in one hand. Besides, I'm the only one who uses the toothpaste, so I can do whateva I want!
5. My absolute favorite "comfort food" is probably tomato soup. As for junkier comfort foods.. chips or something, I guess.
6. A random fact about me is that I love to wear ribbons in my hair. I tie one to the end of my braids, or around a ponytail holder. They're just cuter than those elastic bands.
7. The one piece of technology that truly makes my life better and I couldn't live without is maybe laptops.. with internet of course. There are just a lot of ways to find stuff to do. You can download movies. Music. Whateva you want. Talk to people. Watch TV shows (Hulu..holla!) It's like everything wrapped into one.
What the Heck
So, the lovely Ang over at Football, Sushi and the Pursuit of Happiness had this wonderful idea. Or someone elses wonderful idea, I don't know.. point is, it's a fun thing. Fun post.
The basic idea is: What do you want me to capture? In photo form, that is.
Basically, you tell me something you want to see and I will take a picture of it. Do you want to see my book collection? DVDs? My pee in the toilet? (Just kidding.. that's sick.)
You get it. Come up with something fun, or weird that you want to see a picture of. Be creative, be fun, participate. Don't ask for a picture of my underwear drawer. :-) I think it's a good way to get to know everyone better.
Also, feel free to take the idea! Now tell me what you wanna see!!

Oh, Work
Today, at work.. I laughed really hard. Why? You may ask.
Lunch was over, and I had just finished serving my last customer at the staff window. My coworker walked up to me and said:
"You know that man you just served? I always thought you two would make a great couple. He is so handsome.. you two would just be so cute together. When I was on staff window, remember I asked you if you were single? It was because of him. When you told me you had a boyfriend I was just like 'Dang! They would have been so cute together"
My response.
"Oh, you mean Mr. Boberg right? You know he was my counselor when I was in high school.."
Her reaction: Priceless.
Her face turned bright red.. and she flustered for something to say. "Oh my.. gosh! Haha! Oh gosh haha. I guess he's a little too old for you then!"
Words can't describe how hilarious I found that. I think her reaction to what I told her was the most funny thing, ever.

Top Ten Favorite Memories
I got this idea from Busy Bee Lauren. If you don't know her, visit her blog and befriend her. You won't regret it! She's a very inspirational lady, and beautiful beyond belief. (Yay alliteration!)
10.
Road trip with my big brother. It is sort of a long story, and happened around the time of my grandfather's death. Long story short, my big brother and I were going on a road trip to pick up my other brother. We ended up getting him a plane ticket and just driving back before we got there, but the experience was a lot of fun. I love my brothers so bad.
9.
Taking my brother back to the airport. I only got to see him for one day. In the back of the truck he got in and just gave me a big hug and told me he loves me. Then he gave me a bear hug when we dropped him off at the airport. Refraining from crying was tough.
8.
Purchasing my weenie dog. Yes, we bought her.. didn't rescue. I did look at a shelter first though. Since buying her I have resolved to only rescue animals. But I'm glad we got my dog. She has been a light in my life for the past 5 years. She has been my best friend.
7.
Graduation. A lot of people say they were sad at their graduation.. I was ecstatic. Finally freed from high school. After so many years of what seemed like endless schooling, it was over.
6.
This one is sort of vague.. but "the Navy days." My dad used to be in the Navy, as were a lot of kid's parents who lived in San Diego. It was always so cool to me, though. I loved the family day cruises on the ships before deployment. It was awesome when my dad took me to work with him. Being on base was amazing. And of course.. nothing could beat being able to stare at the ocean all day. Because I have an endless love for the ocean.
5.
My time spent in Illinois. Roughly 6 months, from July-December 2008. I got to really spend time with my family. I got to go 4 wheeling with my little cousins, and play all sorts of games with them, and attend their little league games. I got to know and become best friends with another cousin who is around my age. I met some nice people.. and had some irreplaceable memories. I also 'met' boyfriend during my stay in Illinois.
4.
Trip to Washington in 2007. I still have not been to a more beautiful place. Can I just say, Whidbey Island is magical. I would absolutely love to live in Washington one day.
3.
Laying eyes on my niece for the first time. Feeding her, holding her, playing with her, trying to get her to stop crying, trying to elicit a big toothless smile.. (succeeded, by the way). The experience was amazing. No, I don't have baby fever. I just love my niece big time. (Sorry for my sicknast greasy face. It is flippin humid in South Carolina.)
1.
Being baptized. You'll notice there are two number ones, well.. both have been hugely influential in my life. My baptism was beyond words amazing. It was making this big decision I had been dwelling on.. and knowing that it was the right decision. It was made even more special that boyfriend and his family came. It was an amazing day.
1.
Meeting boyfriend for the first time. We went to the zoo, and he took me to my favorite beach. We kissed for the first time.. and he gave me my own copy of the Book of Mormon. From that day on so many things in my life have changed. For the better.

Update of All Updates
It's going to be another one of "those" weeks.. so I figure I'll get my updates out of the way now. You know, while I should be sleeping.
Mother's day was fun. Well, actually it wasn't that great. I cleaned the house for my mom, then my brother sent her 24 red roses. The kind that come in a box. So I took those out and cut the stems and arranged them in their vase. They are the most beautiful red roses I have ever seen.. this coming from a girl who has no affinity for roses. At all.
That night my boss called me and asked me to work in the morning..again. At work today she asked if I'd work mornings all week. I told her I'd like to have my regular shift Tuesday and Thursday, because of school. So what does she do? Makes me work Tuesday and Friday. Ok.
After work I died of headacheyness. Let me tell you, I am NOT good with waking up early. 5:30 is too early for me. I am an 8 o clock girl. So I took a forever on and off nap.. from about 1 til 5:30. No, I didn't sleep the entire time. I wish. I was mostly cowering, trying to block out any light and noise that would trigger the pounding in my head, which would trigger my gag reflex. I'm so not looking forward to going through this again tomorrow.
That's what my week will consist of. That's it. Work.
I have to go to school this week, I have a paper due tomorrow. Have I started it? No. Will I write it tomorrow in the hour between work and school? Yes. Will I get an A? Yes. My teacher is eeeasy.
Good news though.. I am going to Disneyland on Saturday with boyfriend! I love that boy something fierce. It's going to be a wonderful time. And I have not yet decided if I'm going to lug my camera around this time.. we shall see.
So my friends.. that's it. I am going to finish my week and have a fun weekend. Hopefully sleep a lot. I hope you all have a great week/weekend.
Mother's day was fun. Well, actually it wasn't that great. I cleaned the house for my mom, then my brother sent her 24 red roses. The kind that come in a box. So I took those out and cut the stems and arranged them in their vase. They are the most beautiful red roses I have ever seen.. this coming from a girl who has no affinity for roses. At all.

Summertime Is Here
I did a little shopping at Target today, and acquired the cutest shirt. It's simple.. with a little something on the sleeves. I paired it with an old pair of white shorts and my red belt, and felt completely ready for summertime. I am in love with this outfit! I just wanted to share.
Do you like my hairy arms and weird tan? My legs don't see the light of day very often in case you couldn't tell.
Also, true story.. there are a million mushrooms growing in that grass and I was kinda grossed out sitting in it. And it was super hot outside.. and that tree I'm sitting in front of.. is SO beautiful when it blooms. But it takes longer than all the other trees. So it is currently barren and ugly and all marked up with that black paint stuff. But seriously. When it blooms, leaves and pink flowers galore. It's beautiful.

Blah Blah Thursssday
I've written and deleted ah.. probably 8 posts. Suffice it to say nothing exciting has happened in my life. Nothing fun, either.
I have been working about 7 hours a day.. and I still have half a day to get through after that. So instead of doing anything useful (or even going to my classes) I have instead been taking long naps and watching Disney movies/Glee episodes. I watched Toy Story 2 about five times yesterday. Lack of motivation has taken on a new face, and it is mine.
Thoughts:
-I love that a medium sized Del Taco drink is as big as a Large at any other fast food restaurant.
- I suck at keeping up my workout motivation. I have only been to the gym once this week.. when last week I was motivated to put in 8 hours. Uh huh.
- I have the best boyfriend eva.
- I am seriously doubting I'll be able to wake up for work tomorrow. And when I get there I have to make 25 parfaits.. in less than half an hour. I hate making parfaits. They're cold. Blueberries smell icky. Yogurts is slimy.
- Andes mints are pretty good, in moderation. After 3 they start to taste gross.
- I like making fun of my coworkers for being old. I dislike when they don't stop talking to me while I'm trying to eat on my way too short lunch break.
- The song "Pray for You" by Jaron and The Long Road to Love... is hilar. Seriously. I died laughing.
- I should be sleeping.
- I'll regret this tomorrow morning.
- 3 more weeks until I am FREE from my job. For a couple months at least. I can't even wait. I'm ecstatic.
Now have a picture. I miss my niece:

Day of Color
First.. I painted my toenails all different colors.
Then I baked some red velvet cupcakes, and frosted them all different colors. I love the orange, and I love experimenting to find pretty new vibrant colors for my food! (Warning: Colors in picture not as vibrant as they appear in person :( ) The brownish looking ones are purple.. and I have a teal, blue and green.. as well as the orange.
To add to the fun.. I decided to do a little something special for boyfriend since I don't get to see him very often. I wanted to give him something to make him smile when he's lonely or just sad. I can't show it all to you right now, but here's a sneak peek:
(Some of you may recognize what I'm doing if you read a certain blog, if you do recognize it, don't say anything in the comments! I'll direct everyone to her blog when I'm finished with my little project!)

Brealicious
Sunday.. we went to the Brea tar pits. In Los Angeles. I haven't been there in a.. ever. I am not particularly fond of LA. But it was a neat place to visit, and we know one of the paleontologists who works there, so we got in for free. Scooore. It was neat seeing all the dead things that used to live there before it became the trash hole it is today!
Bones bones bones in tar.
A stuck mammoth slowly dying in front of his child and wife.
Then saw a sloth being taken out by a big cat thing.
Mammoth! Big.
More dead things
Then it was picture time.
I was alone, then..
My dad invaded. THEN...
My family invaded.
The end.
