Practicing Cucumbers

I went for a hike sunday. Yes, yes I did. Stop starting at your computer screen like someone died. Now stop checking you have the right site cause you do. Hold your horses cause it was my idea too! I know, I know Im so proud of myself too! :) We, Amy and I, didnt go the whole way but it was really pretty.

It was a good day. I look forward to Sundays. Its the first day of my weekend so its my first rest in the week and its just AMAZING!

One of my favorite people, Charlotte, had surgery this week. That just sucks for her and if I feel like being selfish me too cause she has been too sick for me to see. Anyway, I just wanted to throw a little shout out to her.

I have the cucumbers ready if you wanna practice! ;)

Ok well I guess thats about it for today. I never have too much exciting going on besides work but when I do.. I share! (Most of the time. Its hard to find time to blog!)

Stairway to Heaven

Wow!

CARAMEL APPLE SPICE

I "discovered" this most AMAIZNG drink the other night. It just so happens to be the most amazing cider I have ever had and my new addiction. I cant even discribe it to you other then to say its like heaven... well i guess I really wouldnt know that but its got to be close!

You see I seem to always have an addiction of some kind. In previous times it has consisted of such things as Maverik hot chocolate, Sonic strawberry limeade, etc.

I cant seem to live without these drinks.. while in each different phase, so I guess its a good thing Im ok with being an addict. :)

Luck of the Draw

So I am plant sitting! Im VERY excited that I was trusted to such a postition.. because it just so happens this isnt just an ordinary plant. This plant is lucky. SWEAR. I was told from a very wise coworker, Jacob, the the chinese lady who could have sold this plant said, and I quote in a chinese voice, "You give water, this plant lucky." Or something along those lines. So for the next week that I am plant sitting I hope to have wonderfully lucky experiences. For those of you who know.. Im gonna need such luck this week.

May all of you be just as lucky for viewing this post with just a glimpse of such a lucky plant.

S M T W T F S

I got bored yesterday and when I get bored I get all thinking creative. I cant help it I just want to make something! So Ive been in need of a calendar so here is the one I made for me.

(see above)

Discover is one of my favorite words. Along with DREAM and IMAGINE and... well I have alot. All the stars have a letter in them S M T W T F S and then all the post-its under them for whats going on on that day.

It may be weird but I love it! And it was fun to make.

My next project is a peacoat/trenchcoat. I havent decided which.

Bend At The Knees

I took a night to myslef last night. This is what you get!
It actually was really good. I was actually kinda sad cause I couldnt go to my mommas baby shower. Yes, thats right my mommas prego. Deal. I thought I didnt care but it turns out I do. Shes so fat she broke a chair. Yup, just straight up broke on her. ;) No lie, it really did brake... just not from her fatness, not that shes not fat cause she is.... HELLO shes prego. :)
Now I dont even know if I can go home when the baby is born... I guess thats the life of growing up. Stupid. Sometimes.

The rest of the night was good with lots of ice cream and movies. I should be getting fat but I ran then went out to play soccer so Im counting on that canceling each other out. So, basically, if nothing else Im just not gonna change which I guess I can handle... maybe.

Sun Shines. Clouds Cry.

I MISS RHOP.

I talked to him last night and he sent me this picture and I know how much you all miss him too so I thought I would share with everyone. Just to clarify I sent him a picture of me and told him not to forget him so naturally he had to send one to me and this time I didnt even have to ask! ;)

(The only way I am able to get away with posting this picture is because he has no idea about this blog. :)

snap. crackle. pop.

Now I'm sure you are all curious about the weird little boy (or girl) on this blog. Basically, he/she is here to haunt your dreams..

BOO!

Ensign Traitor

Yes, what you hear is true, I was a traitor to Ensign. I crossed the road to Chevy. In my defense I had to have a key made for my car! Also, I did try.. HARD. I spent three hours on saturday trying to get a key cut that would work at prob five or six different places. In the end I knew what I would have to do on monday.

For those that don't know what Ensign is.. its the Honda Toyota dealership I work at and the chevy dealer is across the road. Hence my traitor status.

There is a happy ending tho.. I HAVE A KEY THAT WORKS! The first time, all the time, day and night, light and dark, black or white! Its great!

Happiness?

"Maybe happiness didn't have to be about the big, sweeping circumstances, about having everything in your life in place. Maybe it was about stringing together a bunch of small pleasures."

-The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

-Ann Brashares

I was a little irritated tonight. Thats about the time I started thinking 'Why am I annoyed at this person?' Well it ended up being a really stupid, selfish reason. Then I remembered the above quote. Its one of my all time favorites. The way I want to live my life. Needless to say Im not annoyed anymore and find it stupid that I was. There was no real reason.

That was a quote from the above book. I need a good book. I just read a good one call 'Beauty'. I wish I could remember who it was written by.

Anyway the basic point of this blog was to share that quote. I just love it! ..and I'm bored. :)

PURPLE.. the new ..YELLOW

As most of you know I have this pretty amazing mustard yellow purse that has served me well for over a year. It has survived many hard times. Such as name calling, (usually those who are jealous they don't have huge yellow perses) flooding, (in such flood, created by a loose bottle cap, my camera died.. RIP) and many other such events. Well needless to say yesterday ol' faithful finally died..

It is now time to welcome the new huge purple/plum purse! I like purses big enough to fit a years worth of sweedish fish and gum in. Maybe a pen or two.. needless to say I'm very excited!

PURPLE is the new YELLOW

Why?

The above is me.

Why? Why am I blogging? For starters I work with this AMAZING [ ;) ] girl, Michelle, who inspired this and because the longer I live here the less and less time I find to call/talk to those I want to keep in contact with. So here it is. This is the beginning. There is so much more to discover and share.

"Ya'll come back now, ya hear!"
