Spring Break

So for those of you that don’t know me, you should know I love a good meet and greet. This past weekend was jam packed with meet and greets!!

Spring Break Ten started off very … BLAH. Working, sleeping, you know normal. On Friday though my break really started, we drove to SLC, as soon as we got there we got a couple meet and greets in- (A roomate and a cousin)... I like to call it a "twofer"-

All of us rode the lovely trax into downtown Salt Lake (we gotta roll in in style) and...

We went to the Jason Aldean concert! It was amazing!!!!

Zack got his guitar pick lucky duck.

Then on Saturday, I started the day off with a slew of meet and greets. Family members out the butt… Now usually a family member meet and greet (especially a mom) can be pretty nerve racking but this one wasn’t bad at all.

Anyway, we left the family to go to the wonderful hobby lobby (Pretty sure if there were one close enough I’d become an addict) After we got done cruising the crafts we got another long awaited meet and greet in (more of a blind meet and greet) which really could be awesome or horrible… in this case it turned out pretty good.

Then we went to the Jazz game!

The XFactor!

The Jazz owned the hornets which was a little lame of a game but irregardless we won! Oh and we showed up 2 hours early so we got to see Kyle Korver rolling up in his Range Rover so that was pretty sweet.

The game got out and we went and got one last meet and greet in. (yet another “blind” m&g) that also turned out to be good, A great way to finish the weekend off…

There you have it my spring break weekend in a nutshell.

Happy Valentines Day!

So I had quite the Valentines day and I'd like to share it with all of you- But believe me this wasn't your grandma's Valentines day! My day started off pretty normal, slept in, drank some sunny-d, you know the us'. Around 11 my mom and dad said, "want to go to st. george?" I figure what they hey why not? What's another day of putting off homework right? Anyway so we get to St. George, pull into my sisters driveway but nobody was home. So my mom backs out and heads to the freeway... Confused yet? Because this is about the time I am completely lost. My mom chucks a paper into the back seat and when I opened it I saw a map - Destination: Four Corners, Arizona.

Now a little history about my dad, for as long as I can remember he has been wanting to take a "road trip" to Four Corners... Why? I don't really know. However my mom felt today was the day we would check this little adventure off his bucket list. May I just add the total travel estimate is 5 hours 41 minutes/332 miles.

Yeah so as I see this little sheet of paper full fledge panic sets in and for the first two hours I cranked my 'pod trying to not freak out. In case you don't realize this is nearly 12 hours in a car-- a car with my giddy parents mind you.

After some Black Eyed Peas therapy I decided to embrace the journey. I started enjoying the scenery, the relaxing ride, the jams all of it. I got to see some cool things, including Colorado City (Its true what they say by the way, none of the houses there are finished from what I can see) and I got to see the lovely Lake Powell! And standing in four states all at once seems pretty exciting right? Anyway needless to say the closer we became the more excited I got.







We arrive to Four Corners at 5:15 only to see this.....

"Open Daily 8am - 5 pm"

CRUSHED- a 12 hour car ride for nothing!!!!!

2010 res

So after a week and a half I have come out with my working 2010 resolution list. Pretty cliche' to have one but I'm a cliche' kind of gal. I decided to keep it to five, however small it seems they are going to be hard for me but I want to "grow up" so thats what most of the focus is on....

1. I have to limit my infamous "immature nights" to one a month.
2. No more soda (This one is more-so to prove to myself I can do it)
3. No more swearing, because that's unladylike
4. Stop being such a creep (My impeccable memory makes me come off as a creep sometimes... so sue me)
5. Stop being so bossy, because nobody likes to be called bossy.

And there is my although I do have others but they are the same things I'm always striving to improve so I don't think it is unique to the 2010 res list.

Puddle of drool...

You know when you say/do something and the second it happens it was the wrong thing to say or do. Well that has been happening to me a lot lately!

For example around Christmas time my friend and I were picking up some last minute presents. When we were finished in the store we were walking to the car and I opened up the door to the wrong car! We got a good laugh and life went on...



Yesterday I was waiting for that same friend to come pick me up from work, I saw the same make, same colored car pull up. I automatically assumed it was my friend. I walked up to the passenger side door but saw somebody was sitting there so I moved my way to the backseat and tried opening the door when I realized it was locked. The person sitting shotgun opened his door to see what I was trying to do when I realized it was the entirely wrong car! ......So needless to say I ran back into my office and waited for my real ride to show up.

Later that night my jam cru and I saw an acquaintance we had so we decided we were going to say hi. Well we spotted him in the parking lot and we sat there yelling his name.... lets just call him Jim. So we yelled his name for quite a while but apparently he didn't hear us because he hopped in his car and drove away. We decided that wasn't okay so we followed him home! When he got home and out of his car we pulled up next to him. He didn't recognize us so we figured we got the wrong guy. We had to double check though and here is the conversation we had....
"Hey are you who we think you are?"
"Who do you think I am?"
"Jim"
"No I'm not Jim"
"DANGIT!" and then we drove off....no sorries no goodbyes... Just Dangit

Back to school...

Okay so first day back to school in a long time. How did it go? Not bad... Except for some reason I thought I had miraculously grown up. False I did not the whole time I there I was thinking about how much I would rather be... well anywhere else.

I do love me some people watching though :)

Some random things that happened today:

First of all my first class was my natural hazards class. The professor is standing in the front of the class discussing all the many types of natural hazards there are; volcanoes, hurricanes, landslides, earthquakes those kinds of things. Next thing you know the room starts to shake. The professor stopped talking and said "What was that?" As a joke somebody shouted out, "Was that an earthquake?" Everybody started laughing and class went on. Come to find out it was an earthquake a 4.1 on the Richter Scale!

Also my Soc teacher told us this really sad but probably true statistic that really had me in awe. The number 1 fear in people is public speaking the number 2 is death. Now is it just me or is something wrong with that?

Well that was all the exciting things that went down on my first day of school.
1 down -- 66 To go!!!

My Top 10

Okay so I decided what I want to do with my life... I want to be a music guru.
Music is awesome!!! My sister and I were talking and we started discussing our top 5 favorite bands. I tried picking just 5 but it was WAY too hard so I changed my top 5 into a top 10... So here it is my 10 (In NO particular order)

1. Sublime
2. Carrie Underwood
3. Panic! At the Disco
4. The Beatles
5. Red Hot Chili Peppers
6. The White Stripes
7. Dierks Bentley
8. Linkin Park
9. Fergie
10. Black Eyed Peas (Also Fergie but with her amazing band)

So Ode to you top 10! I don't think its possible for me to ever get sick of listening to any of these artist or any album they make :)

As Seen On TV

Okay so usually I don't pay attention to all the "seen on tv" junk you can find although some of it is really cool looking, and don't get me wrong lots of people and their moms purchase a lot of this stuff its just not really for me. However I was watching TV one day and I couldn't look away from the ad about the cupcake that is 25 times the size of a regular one....

Why would you need something this big... a cupcake of all things?

So as many of you know I am privelaged enough to be employed at a bakery. Well one day I went into work and I saw this HUGE donut sitting there and I thought hey a donut 25 times the size of a regular one. Again why would you need something this big... a donut of all things?
