The Flood of 2010

Gotta love those April Showers!

So have you ever been super secretly excited for something? Because I have and my most recent hidden excitement has been for textbook buyback. As lame as it sounds I couldn't wait to get some money coming in! Well all that changed after the rain came this morning. I woke up and felt water on my bed (gross I know) So I opened my window and what did I see???

And there goes my buy back...

Didn't recognize you!

So I must have missed the memo DRESSING UP YOUR ORDINARY KITCHEN OBJECTS IS IN.


In case you can't tell what that picture is its a bottle of dish soap in some sort of... dress.

RIP

A death in the family........ correction 2 deaths :(

So as you may know Bagherra got sick last week, turns out she wasn't a survivor.... The chapter of my life when I drove a VW has officially ended.



This is her on her last day!



Also on Saturday a friend and I purchased a baby chick. (99 cents at Cal Ranch) After growing to love him we decided on the perfect name, Keith Bo Peep.


This was Keith on his first day!

Due to some harsh winter temperatures Keith only lived a short 2 days!












And this is Keith on his last day!






Services will be held in their honor this evening, We appreciate your prayers, may you RIP Bagherra and Keith!!

Oh Bagheera!

Wow, Bagheera is failing me! (Thats my cars name for those of you that don't know)

So I had an almost, awesome weekend! I went to good old Wayne County. I got to see all my friends, and some of my favorite people ever!

However I worked on saturday so I didn't start my travels until pretty late. It took me forever to get there because of all the crazy deer on the road. I finally got there around midnight- thats okay though because I have some pretty awesome friends who stayed up and hung out with me.

Sunday came around and I went to church and that was cool, I ate at the amazingly good shak! I decided I had better leave pretty early so I wouldn't have to experience all the deer again...And I was running on 0 hours of sleep.
I ended up leaving Hanksville around 5. Right when I get to Loa (66 miles out of Hville) BAM, my car loses power!!!!
Guess what else? I don't have cell phone service... Apparently Verizon doesn't have the best all over coverage they claim to! Thats okay though because luckily I wasn't too far from the gas station so I went and used their phone. This is when I found out people in Loa are strangely nice! I had about 10 people there offering to tow my car, to drive me back to Hanksville, to call my insurance for me everything! Guess what else? My insurance doesn't have roadside.

After 3 hours of arguing with the tow truck driver about where to take my car I finally struck a pretty decent, no a really awesome deal with him, he ended up towing my car all the way to Cedar for $120 bones!

Long story short I made it home safe and it only took me 6 hours to do it! GO ME :)

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.
