Mondays...

Mondays are the worst.  
Seriously.  
I woke up today SO TIRED.  I have no idea why…I got plenty of sleep this weekend,
 I mean P-L-E-N-T-Y. 
And yet, I wake up exhausted. 
I really don’t want to go to my nine o’clock class, but I do, even though I’m running seriously late (because when I woke up exhausted to the sound of my alarm, I might have hit the snooze button 7 times twice) anyways...
  I’m running out of the house and I realize once I get to class that I forgot to pack any food and my stomach makes it clear to myself and everyone around me that it has been forgotten and needs to be fed. Seriously stomach? 
So since I’m on campus all day from 9-5, I realize that I am going to starve unless I get some nourishment into this unhappy stomach of mine.  So after class I go get a smoothie…definitely not worth the $4.35 that I paid, but whatever. 
On the way up to my next class, I see a very attractive man and keep staring, cause that’s what I do…I cant help it, I know it’s a terribly bad habit that makes me a creeper, but whatever.  
Anyways, since I’m staring, I don’t notice where I’m walking and the moment I don’t notice where I’m walking, something bad ALWAYS happens. (I am the clumsiest person you will ever meet.) So…my heel gets stuck in a crack and my shoe comes completely OFF. Bahahaha! It was so funny, I couldn’t help but laugh at myself, I seriously looked like an idiot.
  Well, I finally get to class and then I think about what a terrible day this has started off to be and then an attractive dude starts up a conversation with me about the Dobby decal I have on the front of my computer and then we just have delightful little conversation but then what do I see? 
Something shiny on the attractive man's left hand ring finger.
 Son of a...He's married? Are you kidding me? 
This day sucks!
 But then the attractive man asks me where Im from and I say Alabama and then I remembered…

TONIGHT IS THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME!!!! ROLL TIDE! 



Tonight is gonna be Epic!  Were having a game-watching party with lots of delicious food and it suddenly makes this terrible Monday worth it. 
I just gotta make it to 5 o’clock.
  Hopefully we will be having some other attractive men like the type I mentioned earlier at this party as well ;-) 
Happy Monday!



 ROLL TIDE ROLL!

Remember Me?

Oh hey guys...remember that time when I used to write on my blog? Well I do.
It was like 5 months ago. Boo. Im a terrible person, I know.
Dont hate me.
Anyways, I figure since its a new year, Im gonna start writing again. I am.

I think I will start with my New Years Resolutions. Yes, I realize that its January 5th and I should have posted this a few days ago but school just started again so I haven't had the time. 
So here goes...

1. Get down to my goal weight. I  am determined to do that this year. Its gonna happen.
That means less cookies...


and more veggies...


I can do it!

2. Read my scriptures and attend the temple more.  This is difficult for me just because I tend to think its not necessary but in all actuality it is necessary for my spiritual growth.





3. Take more pictures.  I suck at taking pictures, but this year I will do better.  My sister takes pics all the time and she inspired me to do better at it.  Especially since these are the best times of my life.  I need to have hard copies of these memories! 


4. Write on this blog more! Seriously, what is wrong with me? I like writing on here, I just think that I don't have enough time.

5. Get straight A's.  End of story.


6. I want to cook a new dish every week of this year and document it and put it on here. I need to practice my cooking skills and I need to branch out from the things I always eat.

7. Go on a Vacation.  I don't even care where to.  Maybe a girls trip on a cruise? Yes, that would be great.


8. Exercise at least 4 times a week. This needs to happen in order for number 9 to be able to happen.

9. Run a half marathon.  My roommate Beth and I are planning on running in The Teton Dam Marathon in June, but were only gonna do the half marathon and not the whole.  Were determined, also because some people don't think we can do it. Were gonna show them.




10. Save more money.  This is a problem for me.  When I get money I just want to spend it.  Its terrible.  It sucks even more when I have barely any income...so yeah.  SAVE! Also, I want to be able to go to the REAL set of the Harry Potter movies in England...how epic would that be? Pretty darn if you ask me.






Well thats all I have for you for now.  I have got to go do some homework, but hopefully I will get the chance to write again tomorrow! See ya!

The Birthday.

Is the 16th of September.
What?!? Already?!
Last year I was in Ecuador for my 21st birthday and it was absolutely terrific.
Besides the fact that I had been throwing up all day because my stomach wasnt used to Ecuadorian food yet. It will never be the same either.
So I will be turning 22 this year....holy cow.
I should be graduating at this age but will I?
No.  Thats ok though, I enjoy school....somewhat.
Anyways, several of my friends birthdays are in September also, particularly the BFF Beth, whom this post will appeal to most.
Basically this is just me rambling about what I think we should do and I think it is brilliant.
Beth if you are reading, you should think long and hard about us doing this, ok?
Were only young once. Ok that doesnt really matter here.

I

think

we

should

go

to

VEGAS!

No, not to gamble....

But because The Beatles LOVE by Cirque du Soleil is there at the Mirage hotel!!!!!!

OMG wouldnt that be epic if we could go?!?




And, while were at it, we might as well stay at The Mirage hotel while were there....

Ok seriously, yall know this is a brilliant plan, especially since we LOVE the Beatles music.

Only problem is, were gonna be at school, and its like ten hours away and its kinda pricey....but....

I still think we should do it!
Talk about a birthday to remember!
And, anybody who wants to come, should come! We can split the gas and the room!


Anyways, thats all I have to say. 

Hope yall's Monday is goin great!

You got a tattoo?!?

No, I didnt get a tattoo....but secretly I want one.  Ssh! Dont tell anyone!
My parents are gonna read this and be like, what the h-e-double-hockey-sticks?!?
Ok they wouldnt say something like that but they will probably say that I'm crazy.
But lately, Ive known several people that are getting tattoos, some cool, some not.
It just makes me want one.
Does that make me a conformist?


nah

Anyways, I was just thinking about IF I got a tattoo, where would I put it, and more importantly, what would I wanna put on my body that is gonna be there for.....FOORREEEVVEERRR (cue Sandlot)....?
I would probably put it somewhere that wasnt very visible, that I could hide if I wanted to.
I also like the idea of it being on the side of my foot.
One of my friends got hers behind her ear.
OUCH!
I feel like that would hurt like no other!

So what would I get?
I narrowed it down to a few things....
Ok, I really didnt narrow it down.

I would go for something that means something to me and not just something stupid.

I might do something musical....like these.

Love this one!




So those are kinda cool right?
I like the first two the best.

I also thought about getting something written in Spanish. Mainly because I love the language, and because of my little Ecuadorian babies.

We got rings when we were in Ecuador that say "Mirad a vuestros pequenitos" which means "Behold your little ones."
It would just be a good reminder of the wonderful, unforgettable time I had there.

And lastly, I would most definitely get something Harry Potter related.  Yep, dont judge, you know thats an AWESOME idea.

Here are some that I liked.



Dumbledore: "After all this time?"
Snape: "Always."

The Deathly Hallows!






Just a small one? Thats not too bad right?
Ha! Yeah right, even if I did it, I would probably cry like a baby.
What kinds of tattoos would yall get?
Well, I gotta run!
See ya soon!

I know, I know....

OK so I've been MIA for the past couple months, but seriously, I HAVE NOT HAD TIME.  I like sleep too much to get on and write a legit blog post that is actually worth reading.  My deepest apologies to those of you who actually read this, you know who you are....
Anyways
What have I been doing you may ask?
Tons.
Mostly work,
but thats boring so I wont bore you with those details because most of you know how that goes....
Besides working, there are few things that I have done that may peak your interest so here goes.

Watched many movies lately? You know it.
Several actually.
Forgive me for not posting about them, I know you were dying a little inside.
OK fine, Ill tell you.

Of course you all know I saw....Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2!
Thats totally a given right?
Well, it was epic.
I painted my nails and everything.
Unfortunately I didn't dress up because I had just gotten off work and didn't have time because I needed to get in line for the midnight premiere and I was 10th in line! Sa-weet!!!!
I saw it with my mom, niece Kailey, and co-worker Tamara.  And.....I don't have pics, I apologize.
Needless to say, it was an epic movie and I could watch it over, and over, and over again. Seriously. No joke.

What else?
Tyler Perry's "Madea's Big Happy Family"

HA!
Had the floor not have been filthy with popcorn and probably Hepatitis, I would have been rolling in it.
I laughed so hard, I was CRYING. I mean the whole theater was dying laughing. 
Oh.My.GOSH.
So freakin hilarious.
Y'all have to see it.


Another one I saw was "The Adjustment Bureau."
Hated it.
Thats all Im gonna say about that.

I also saw"THOR."

Fantastic.
I was amazed, and Natalie Portman was stunning.
And too bad Thor didn't have his shirt off the whole time....I mean come on.  He didn't even look real...I mean I guess he is sort of mythical, but those ABS were REAL.
The story was great too by the way....seriously


I think there might be a couple more that I have seen, but I cant remember them at the moment.  Anyways, movies are great. Obviously.

Next topic.

Congratulations to all of my friends who graduated in the past month! How cool are you?
You're all grown up...lucky....Im so ready for school to be over. Just done.
I start back in about a month. Im looking forward to my friends and the social part of it all, just not the school and studying and stressing part of it all. So.Not.Ready.

Random sidebar.
I need a new phone. STAT.
My phone is jacking up big time.
Many of the letters on the keyboard dont work so I have to improvise or just send a message the way it is. So if any of y'all get a text from me with some crazy message, I apologize. I am trying here. Just figure it out.

I dont mean to whine and complain, thats just how I have been feeling lately.
This post is getting too long.
I have more to say but its gonna have to go to another post.
I WILL DO IT.
I PROMISE.

Miss you guys!
