Merp derp

It's been a long week. And I was getting ready for bed half an hour ago and realized I hadn't taken a picture for you. So. This is what you get.

Now I'll go finish my homework so I can go to bed.



Note: I thought I published this last night, but I guess I didn't...my bad.

Expecto Patronum!

Hi all.

Holy crap, it's been a long day. I took a MUCH needed nap this morning. And I learned almost nothing in class today(don't tell Mr. Rees...) because I was so exhausted. This afternoon was somewhat more productive tho...thank goodness.

And then I took pictures. And I love taking pictures, in case NONE of you had gathered that in the past year and half that we've been acquainted(or longer. That's just how long this baby's been up).I did couple pictures for one of my close friends and her boyfriend. And they are A-Dor-A-Ble. I do not say this lightly. As I was going through the pictures when I got home, I just kept giggling. They're so cute.

Anyway, right before we left, we got this picture. He is holding an actual wand, not a stick, okay? It was getting real dark and we weren't planning on taking these pictures, but I saw my wand in my purse and I insisted, mostly because this tree looks like the Whomping Willow(if you don't know what that is, go die). They were so enthusiastic. I love this one. So, enjoy.

In the next few days, I'll have the rest of their pictures up on my photography blog. You should check them out. Cuz they're freaking adorable.

Now. As you're aware, it's THURSDAY. Allow me to go get my awkward notes from the past few days.

I have returned.

Awkward:

So, I have this app on my iPod that alters your voice to make it sound funny. And we sometimes like to plug it into my stereo, say obnoxious things, and blast it. Yesterday, Autumn had made farting noises into it, and it was on a deep voice setting. We pull up to the gate JUST as it starts playing. LOUDLY. And the guy in the lane next to us had his window down. And he gave us a really funny look. As it sounds like we're farting our butts off.

I made these wands(As you can see from the picture). And I was driving around in my car, and i was pretending to pick my nose with one(don't ask), and I went over a bump and almost jabbed it up my nose. My siblings couldn't stop laughing.

For mutual, we took sobriety tests for fun. And I failed.

Awkward quotes:

*at a church dance*
Guy: I'm just gonna tell you something now.
Me: Okay...
Guy: I hate it when girls stop texting me for no reason at all.
Me: Okay...*thinking "what the crap?!"*
Guy: That girl over there *points* she did that. And I hate her.

Awesome:

I MADE WANDS. WHAT NOW, PUNKS?!?

I put at least 5 people under the Impurius curse. What now.

I took a nap. That's pretty awesome.

I skyped with Beka, Helen, and Diego. At the same time. And we exchanged dreams. And it made my day.

Awesome quotes:

Seminary teacher: Aurora, if you were on a game show, who would you have introduce you?
Me: *instantly* Josh Hutcherson. Bam.
seminary teacher: Okay, Adam, who would you choose?
Adam: I'd choose God.
Me: ...now I feel great...
Jodie: They're sorta the same.
(I realize that is somewhat sacrilegious. So, sue me. It was funny.)

Jodi: *points wand at me* Crucio!
Me: *points wand at her* Stupefy!
Christian: *hits Jodi over the head with a hymn book* Cuncussion-o!

Me: *points wand* Stupefy!
Jodi: That doesn't really work...I can't get much stupider.



Okay. I'm exhausted, and I'm going to bed now.

And it stank of vinegar and applesauce

 Happy Wednesday night. Don't you love my enthusiasm?

Today was long, to say the least. My mom dragged me away from my homework(how dare her) to go apple picking. Although I protested initially, I'm glad I went. Even though it smelled real bad, and I got squashed apples(applesauce?) on my shoes. I love washing shoes...not.

And yes. The second I got home, I went to work for 2 1/2 hours, until my mom begged me to come home, and then spent 2 hours on homework until, you guessed it, my mom begged me to go to bed. That was 5 minutes ago. Which means I need to get this booty to bed. Pronto.

Anywho. These are two pictures from the orchard today. I was gonna combine them into one, but Photoshop was being real slow this morning and I'm supposed to be in bed, so you get two. Lucky you!

A lot of awkward/awesome things happened today, but I won't tell you about them because tomorrow is Thursday. Woot.

This picture was highly exposed. I'm sorry. I couldn't fix it. Sue me.

And with that, I'll go throw myself onto my bed and pass out.

Wash that car. Like a boss.

Er'rybody. It's a Tuesday. That means that tomorrow is Wednesday. Which means soon, the week will be over. If you don't follow my logic, I'm sorry. It makes sense to me, so I'm sorry you can't read my mind.

Ignore the obnoxious face. I accidentally uploaded the wrong picture, but I'm too lazy to reupload the right one. But it looks like this, except I'm laughing.

And yes. I'm washing my window. I went to get gas(hardly any of it...I'm a poor broke soul) and I washed my windows cuz the last time I did that was...never. And mah seester took pictures. And most of them look like I'm special.

In order to avoid making multiple posts tonight(I'm tired, kay?), I will tell you a few highlights of my day.

1) I made Harry Potter wands. 4 of them, but 2 of them sucked and I'm trashing them.

2) I pointed my wand at people and yelled spells, mostly the Impurius curse, as I drove past them. Multiple people turned around. It was awesome.

3) I took a drunk driver test(courtesy of my YW leaders husband) and was told that, if it was real, I wouldn't have passed the test. I guess I just have really bad balance...and I'm ditzy....

4) Something else hilarious happened today, but it has slipped my mind. As many things do. Sorry. It's still sorta the beginning of the week, so this is aloud.

I hope you enjoyed looking at my face and crappy hair. Best part of this picture: My sunglasses. I really love those things.

Kaythanksbye. Sleep well people. Unless you read this tomorrow.

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.

Savior of the frogs

My parents, sister and I went on a day trip on Thursday. We went to this little town called Placitas. And it is BEAUTIFUL. We just drove around, looked at property. Cuz why not? Anyway, we were driving down this dirt road when we decided it was time to head home. We pull into someones driveway, and turn around. We're driving back down this dirt road, and my dad suddenly says, "Wow. Would you look at that! There's a ton of tadpoles over here!" So, of course, my mom makes him stop. And she jumps out of the car. And then comes back, and gets a SOLO cup(we had a ton in the car...I have no idea why). Autumn and I joined her. This is a picture I took BEFORE we touched ANY of the tadpoles.

Sorry, it was taken with my iPod...it sorta sucks. Also, keep in mind, this is about HALF of the puddle.

That is a whole heck of a lot of tad poles.


My mom, sister and I gathered up SO MANY of these tad poles. Cuz, being the saints that we are, we wanted to save them. All of them. But we couldn't. There were so many still there when we left. We had 4 solo cups and a water bottle full of tadpoles.

Another crappy iPod picture. My bad.

Anyway. We urged my dad to drive really fast, and I had my sister prepare some tupperware tubs for us, and we dumped 'em in as soon as we were home.

So, yeah. We saved like, 250 tadpoles. They were PACKED. We had two families come and take some, cuz what the poo are we gonna do with 250 frogs? Some of them died on the trip, and some have died since then. Actually, they like eating each other...a lot...

We have a few frogs. I have a NON-iPod picture for you. Get ready. You should be excited.

Sorry, the exposure is way high, I just didn't feel like fixing it. That's Stephen and I, each holding a toad, over the basin of tadpoles.

Basically, this made my Friday a bit exciting and I felt like you guys should see it. ;)

This counts as my "Awesome Thursday" for last week. ;)

MasterChef.....jk

I mentioned last week that I was possibly going to do some baking/cooking. And that I'd probably post about it. True to my word, I'm posting. Congrats.

So, I'd like to say that I suddenly decided that baking was my calling or something. However, that's not the case. I'm pretty sure it's this blog I found. It's super awesome. And it's gluten free. So, I modified my flour recipe and started baking. You know what I've made in the past week?

I made pretzel rolls(I over cooked them tho...oh well).
I made homemade salsa. Thrice.
I made cupcakes. Holy crap were they good. I was told they tasted like a glorified brownie. I was also told that they tasted like oreos...
I made double chocolate cookies(I over cooked these too...what the crap).
And I just finished making pop tarts. They're cooling downstairs so I can frost them. But. They look flippin delicious.

I'm not MasterChef, but hey, I'm not bad. I definitely don't suck. At least, not all the way...

Speaking of MasterChef...I super love that show...that has nothing to do with anything tho.


I mention, quite often, that I get weird looks because of my choice to wear a helmet on the way home from seminary. Well, we haven't worn helmets at all this week. Just cuz my dad took them inside the house and I keep missing my alarm and forgetting to grab them. SO. To compensate, we've been making super obnoxious faces at people, and they're still yelling "YUMMY YUMMY" at random passersby.

I think we've gotten more funny looks today than we ever did with helmets. I don't want to analyze this, cuz I'm lazy. You can think about it tho.

Now, if you'll excuse me. I have to go frost my poptarts.
