i am going to die!

The post office smells like wet dog!! Disgusting!!

more than sorry

So it's done...I am all moved to the guest room upstairs. I am so tired and can't really believe that I am still awake posting this! But I had to say that the one up side to packing all your unused items up is that you get to write on the box with a big fat Sharpie! Two of my favorire things...writing and Sharpies/office supplies!

smart water is my new passion...

So I just spent the last 3 hours cleaning my room and packing up all the insignificant and lesser used items to be stored in my sisters basement until I find a place. You see my dad is moving in with us and I have to give up my domain of the basement so he can rule the basement for a while. Char didn't see the sadness and sentiment in saying goodbye to the room I finally called my own...meaning I didn't have to share...for 3 years! So many memories! Late night phone conversations, sleepovers, loud nieces in the morning running right above me, nights of crying in hard times, reading in peace, dancing with myself cause i'm cool, make outs...enough said, the discovery of amazing outfits and the best most ginormous bed ever! It is definitely time for me to grow up a bit and consolidate all my random crap...let's face it apartments are tiny and will never fit all my crap ever! So now I am off to bed cause I am exhausted! I did inventory count today and boxes of 150 shirts are really heavy!

seen so many amazing bands and been to the best shows ever

bring sexy back

why does my main man jt hate the grammy's...
where the heck was he...
why was beyonce there...
who the heck is herbie hancock...
how high was amy winehouse...
why did amy winehouse win anything...
next year i am boycotting unless jt comes back...
kanye is pretty bad a@!...
i heart mary j. blige and i am pissed alicia keys beat her...
kudos to foo fighters winning...
that's all...
asay out.

why does nordstrom hate me...

so i was out and about the other day with my friend kyle...he is pretty rad. we went to check out the new shade store at the university mall cause he's sort of a big deal there. anyway after helping with a few things for their grand opening we hit my favorite store ever...nordstrom. so i had a mission in mind already...get some fetching new flats that i loved cause the one's i was wearing were squeaking. why you may ask do my shoes squeak...well i don't know. they are old and i think the first pair of flats i bought in the dawn of flats fashion. hmm...anyway i just KNEW i was going to find something i like. really though...i found nothing in my price range! being a poor twenty something is hard!

this was my dream pair, but not for $45...

then i decided i wanted some cute tennies to wear at work...i am in a warehouse all day running around filling orders and hauling boxes. wearing flats everyday is reeking havoc on my back and my feet! a girl's got to have some arch support!

so i found these and i was in love...hello orange!

but $75...yeah right!

so i finally broke down today and went to zappos to find the shoes i have been holding off on buying for like a year. when my sister went to spain last summer she swore by these shoes and i figured i might as well try them...so $50 later and free shipping i think i did pretty good...

i know this has nothing to do with anything other than i love my new shoes.

all brought to you because i finally got paid after 4 weeks! despite the fact that it was only half of what it should have been i am grateful for anything at this point!

i hate snow and want to move to california!

i am now obsessed with eastmountainsouth...so great!

it's okay

I brushed my teeth last night don't worry. I'm not really that gross.

i broke my dot box

i failed to mention my creepy man encounter today.

i was enjoying my lunch at bajio...a side of rice and beans with their onions and a bit of chicken topped with shredded cheese, yum...when my co.worker/friend monica recognizes some guy. turns out it was her dentist. he then asks about her flossing and she answers. then he proceeds to ask me how often i floss and puts his hand on my shoulder which catches me off guard and then i can't remember what else happened cause i was so taken back by him touching me. it was the sort of gesture you would do to someone you know...like a friend, co.worker or even your church leader...but a stranger. no that was not okay and i was a little bugged. and as if my flossing habits, or lack there of, is any of his business. weirdo.

keep in mind that i am eating dots and probably won't brush my teeth tonight cause it would taste really gross after eating dots.

and i am really sick of trying to help someone that doesn't want to be helped. it's like adding wood to a dying fire...it works for a minute, but ends up dying down again...yearning for attention and never saying thanks...just hisses at you.

dots are good

peace out mitt

you fought a good fight and you would have done a great job as the big man on campus. just start praying that it doesn't become the big woman on campus...if that happens i am moving to africa.

your bumper sticker looked goood on my car...and the remains of your bumper stickers still look good on my car.

thanks for the good times we know as the olympics of 04...that has noting to do with you dropping out, but i just thought it would cheer you up.

your hair did always look nice...

see you in 2012...if not, can i have a million dollars?

your fellow american/mormon

first i have to start off my congratulating the .new york giants. for pulling through in the end and winning the superbowl making this the fifth year in a row that i have successfully called the winning team of the superbowl. also a shout out to the manning family on having two superbowl champions in one family...that is pretty tight.

after watching .arctic tale. i realized how much i hate walruses...they are gross and must smell to high heaven. they lie around all day all over each other and pass gas. they move as one which i can imagine can get pretty annoying if you were trying to be your own walrus. they feed on clams and the instant one decided they are hungry they all roll off the ice to feed on a ridiculous amount of clams and fart the rest of the day. they move about a mile a year and can only transport themselves on land by hopping forward on their tiny flippers. those things weigh almost twice the size of polar bears and that must be a lot of weight to have on two flippers! stupid walrus! anyway the rest of the movie was great to watch. you don't realize how horrible it must be to be an animal in the arctice...it did have a little .green. feeling, i half expecting al gore to start narrating instead of the great queen latifah...she does a great job by the way.


snow is ridiculous and i am so anti winter that i am starting to think that global warming isn't that bad...cut to video of al gore and leo dicaprio shaking their heads and fists...leave me alone.


i learned more than i wanted to about electoral votes...thanks to those who know i am challenged sometimes.
