We be stunna

I was busy all weekend. I threw a surprise party for my sister, which took a lot of effort...so...I apologize that I didn't post. At all. Also, it's Monday. Ew.

Stop. song time. (I gotcha. You thought it was gonna be "Hammer time" or "in the name of love", didn't you?)

Day 3 - A song that makes you want to cry.

Long Live ~ Taylor Swift

For those who have heard this song, you might understand. This song reminds me of people in my past, and the people in my present, who I loved/love dearly. Certain people come to mind. Garrett, Casey, Jacob, Brooke, Helen, Rebekah, Layne. I will share my "tear jerking" line with you.

"Please promise me this. If you have children someday, when they point to the pictures, please tell them my name."

Nuff said.


Day 4 - A song you listen to when you're pissed.

Misery Business ~ Paramore

The name kinda says it all, no? When I'm pissed, the beat and the words really resonate with me and I feel powerful. Just cuz.

Day 5 - A song that would not be appropriate in church.

Heh. Heh. There are a lot of songs that wouldn't be appropriate in church...But I shall say...

E.T. ~ Katy Perry

This song was, strangely enough, stuck in my head all of Saturday. Or, part of a remix of this song.

Story time.

I went to my dads office with Georgi to  blow up balloons for Autumn's surprise birthday. The first song that came on pandora was the remix of E.T. And at the party later, when handing out the cards for "Mafia", I would start singing the beat. (" DA NU NU NU NU NU NU NU NU NU NU DAAA NU NU NU NU NU NU NU NU NU NU!") It thoroughly annoyed a few girls, but everyone else thought it was hilarious.

End of story time.


Day 6 - The "Mother knows best" song from Tangled.

First, who DOESN'T love this movie? Please comment your address, so I can come hit you with a tack hammer.

I just love this song. It makes me laugh, and reminds me of when Helen and I were at Navajo Lake and we watched Tangled with everyone the last night.


So. Here's a picture for you.

Hot, right? I know. We be stunnas.

I can't explain this picture. So deal with it.

Also, I dyed those pants myself. Yup. I'm cool.

The new norm

I anticipate this happening often/all the time. You'll probably get the "photo a day" photos all at once. Once a week. But hey, at least I can keep up with at least once a week. I can hopefully do more often. I have a lot on my plate at the moment...meaning midterms. Which I should be studying for. I'm permitted a 5 minute break tho, no?

You should be so incredibly proud of how often I'm taking pictures for you though. I mean, really. It's impressive. I manage to get a good(ish) picture EVERY. DAY. You should feel so so special.

That being said. Here we go. On a magical journey, through last week...

 Tuesday: This would be me trying to unwrap a starburst in my mouth. (Sorry, guys. I suck at this.) It dropped. And was so funny, I had to include it. 

 Autumn is sitting on the bed next to me. See her feetsies? She said something ridiculous. It made me laugh. Terder. Also, excuse the blurriness. 

 I got real bored in Seminary, so I drew Avatar arrows on my arms, and then added one of my forehead when I got home. 

 I went on a date on Friday. And this is what it looked like at the end. And it was so so SO much fun. 

I went to a dance on Saturday. And it wasn't all that fun...oh well. These are the lovely ladies I went with. And we're going to pretend it's just that angle that makes my legs look super fat. Thanks.

I didn't take one yesterday. Cuz it was Sunday. And I haven't taken todays yet, but I will. And I'll upload it...next time. ;)

I'm sorry I didn't give you summaries of my days. I'm much too tired. I'll give you an explanation.

Midterms.

Bye, ya'll. I gotta get my patooty to work. 

PS, I have a thousand(that's a lie) things to post on Thursday. If I can remember them all. I usually write them down(that's also a lie) but the ones that I don't, are fully committed to memory(opposite of truth).

PPS, fun fact. I have been unable to spell "opposite" correctly on the first try all day. I've had to type it a lot, yes. 

Applicable Song lyric of the day: "I'm running out of lies, and ways to say you died."

I'll let you spend forever waiting on...these posts ;)

 I have an excuse. I promise. I haven't posted my photo a day since last Tuesday. Which is kinda long ago, even tho it doesn't seem that way to me...But anyway. Let's go on a journey.

Wednesday. I took the picture. Yay. I was going to upload it when I got home from dance at 9 pm, but my brother in law was on my computer. So, I went to bed after stretching, because I didn't really want to stay up any later. I was exhausted. Can you blame me?

Thursday: I took the picture at 11 pm. I was so tired, you wouldn't believe. I spent forever contributing to the dinner we made for guests, then went straight to work, then straight to a YW meeting, and didn't get back til almost 11. So, I basically hopped into bed. After taking the picture, to post the next day...

Friday: I took a picture first thing(it's not the one I ended up using, but I was prepared) and planned on uploading it during class. But, I felt compelled to pay lots of attention during class. Mostly cuz we had a trivia game on greek mythology, which I was boss at. And then went to work. And then straight to another YW meeting. It was actually a craft night for our upcoming YWIE..which is where my picture from that day comes.

Saturday: The word "exhaustion" does not begin to cover Saturday. I woke up at 4 am, people, to go to the balloon fiesta with the Young Women. And they didn't even launch the balloons. Cuz it was "too windy". Come on, people. How long have you lived in this state?? You should be used to this by now!! After the first session of General Conference, I was way too shaken up to upload any pictures, so I sorta just compromised by crying for a while. After the second session, I went to work. Shock. Er. And then watched Avengers with my family. For the first time. and I am so tempted to buy every Marvel shirt I can find and make a life long quest to be an extra in one of the Avengers movies(Anela, that's how we'll meet them!!). I then watched the Notebook in my room, cuz I was stupid about sleep and I needed a chick flick. Don't judge.

Sunday: Conference. I didn't want to mess with my blog on Sunday. Sorry peeps.

Today: Congrats. I picked my pictures, and I posted them here for your viewing pleasure. I went on a run with my sister this morning. It was a sad little run. My lung problem acted up, resulting in a run even shorter than the short run that was planned. And Autumn wanted to walk the majority of the time. Which was obnoxious. And she fought me the whole time. I think I'll run by myself tomorrow...Also. It's freezing cold. I am wearing my fuzziest socks, and a huge hoodie. And I am cold. Someone come warm up my hands, pretty please. PLUS, I think I like a hopeless romantic. Who lives nowhere near me. Why do they always live 2345823452304958 miles away? Beats me. God has a sense of humor.

Aves went grocery shopping with me. And we jammed out to music. And it was awesome.

So. Freaking. Tired. 

I'm a T-rex. And this would be why neither of us have boyfriends...

This is at the failure balloon fiesta. Everyone, say hi to the top of Jodi's face. And the bottom of mine. 

I taught my brother how to knit during conference, because he was bored. He kept knitting, even after it was over. It made my day.

This would be us after our morning run. Our EASY morning run, I should add, since I don't usually bring Autumn with me. Therefore, we went at a snails pace. And didn't even run a mile. It was sad. Hence the reason we don't look totally dead. 

Hasta la Pasta, people. Until next time...which may or may not be tomorrow...

Applicable song lyric of the day: "You throw your head back laughing like a little kid. I think it's strange that you think I'm funny cause he never did." 

I am Unicorn

I didn't post yesterday or Saturday. My bad. Whatevs. Nothing exciting happened, no pictures were taken, hence, no blog posts were made. It makes logical sense.

Today is Monday. Ew. I am not a fan, as I have mentioned previously. However, today hasn't been bad. After my two classes this morning, I came down stairs to talk to my mom. I sat next to her on the couch and we talked for a bit, until she started looking at NPR on her handy lil smart phone. I wasn't even aware of it, but I passed out. For an hour. On my moms shoulder. And she sat there, looking at news and such until I woke up, cuz she didn't want to move me. It was amazing, and it reminded me how amazing my mother is. I love her so much. <3

And THEN some family friends from Las Cruces came to visit! Yay! I haven't seen them since May, so that was really good. And I took their family pictures. We didn't get a ton of shots, cuz they were in a time crunch, but the ones I got were priceless. SO. I'll post a link here tomorrow probably, with the pictures from that. And you will go look at them. Cuz I said so.

Anyway. There is a story behind the picture below. And it goes like this:

My family likes Asian food a lot. And by that, I mean that a few of my siblings LOVE it, and so they cook it whenever it's their turn to cook. So. We had orange chicken and stir fry for lunch. Yes. The panda express orange chicken, but homemade. AND JUST AS YUMMY. I will allow you to drool for a moment. Now. I was eating my stir fry, and I came across this baby corn that looked like a horn! So, I decided that I was a unicorn, and I took pictures with it as soon as I was done eating. However...the stupid corn didn't want to be taped onto my forehead. I think it was cuz it was wet...and WOULDN'T. DRY. OUT. I tried BLOW DRYING it, people!! And it wouldn't dry. So, I held it to my forehead like a weirdy.

I took some pictures making horse faces, but I don't think anyone should see those.

"I am Unicorn."

A picture a day keeps the boredom away

Before I start, I'd like to say, no, I'm not often bored. Not lately, anyway. If I say I'm bored, I'm actually just avoiding the mountain of work I have looming over my head. However, since the beginning of last week, I've been über stressed. And I haven't been giving myself creative outlets. So. I'm going to ATTEMPT to post a picture a day here on my blog. Cuz hey. It's Monday. And people usually start things on Mondays. Like diets(that was a funny joke. ;) ).  And it'll be whatever the heck I want it to be of. I know my friend Helen did this once and only got about 51 days into it. However,this is for me to do and not really be held accountable. For example, I probably won't post on Sundays. And if I miss a day, I probably won't compensate the next day. Unless I took a super awesome picture and just never got around to posting it. So. Without further ado, here is day 1.

Le tired. 

I hate Mondays.
