The OTHER Gender

i was at walmart tonight, ya know jsut doing my last minute surprise birthday party/game night shopping. ya know... like i do every saturday night, when i pass this teenage boy. yes, i do this quite frequently but the large amount of items in his arms caught my attention. this is what i saw...

vault (a large case of vault, not just one can of it)

ding dongs... once again. a large package of them

and last but not least, easy mac.

what the TYPICAL teenage boy diet. i just think thats funny. i dont know about you. but...I JUST THINK THATS FUNNY I SAY. anywho... you would never see a girl carrying those 3 items.

The Fakes

So in addition to my floral designing with real flowers... I figured I could do fake ones too. How cool is this? Its my new ambition. Im gonna try it out. Wish me luck...

A Wee Bit Weird

you wanna know what i love? when a chinese lady can tell all about you just by looking at your ear. yes i am indeed being serious. this is what she gathered from my familys ears...

daddio- most goal oriented person in the fam, had to set his goals high and work to achieve them

modge- obviously the most sacrificial person. is that a word? i think soo... well anywho that shouldnt impress you too much because moms usually are.

but wait...

it gets better.

myself- the most emotional person in the family, base my decisions off of emotion. then it was decided i had the biggest heart as well?

shaq baby- the perfectionist... who woulda thunk

brooklyn- (this was a bit off) the most entreprenuer minded. eh... not so much?

kenziloo- the shortest temper. and she also said, the best communicator. but we all agree she meant worst communicator ; ) kenz would also jump out of the car first if we passed by someone hurt. idk

cass- the most difficult to control. the most opinionated. wow theres a shocker

and kenna sue- the most easy going and best tempered. nailed it! haha

funniest thing ever. she was being totally serious too. had never meant any of us until when she made those accusations. good time.

you wanna know what else i love? my lakers baby. pretty rockin game tonight against the golden state warriors. boom baby. thasss what im talkin bout. such an entertaining 4th quarter.

and also... THE MISSIONARIES! yes i do love them. and temple square. and the missionaries... and hamburgers. did i mention the missionaries? well i meant sister missionaries haha. they are developing a little reserved space in my heart. maybe cause i'll be one shortly. they are beyond amazing. mayb e i'll go to temple square. apparently that IS a possibility. crazyyyy. k now im just getting off subject. i've been doing that recently on these here blogs. sorry. i'll stick to the current topic at hand from now on : )

but i love you all! have a good night!

Snowed In

This weekend was fabulouso! seriously, a wide variety of events lead to the greatest weekend in a long time.

- my sister came home from cedar city

-olive garden blew up (not really, but a gas leak did cause everyone to evacuate the building) it just so happened to be on the day i work a double

-it continued to get worse and they claimed we would be closed ALL DAY! plus sunday too : )

-snow storm up in here by my house. it usually gets way worse than anyone else for some reason. now normally i really dislike the storm as anyone who knows me would say. but the wind was so terrible we HAD to stay inside. like i said, snowed in : ) kenny and i babysat my sisters and we got to play games all day and all night, have a sunny with a chance marathon and watch loads of movies. i havent had simple fun like that in awhile and it reminded me of being a kid and i missed that. so thank you snow for staying just long enough for me to rediscover my childish side but to go away as soon as i want to be outside haha. you were perfect. no take 2

-and sunday my sisters, kenny and i risked getting in trouble with the parentals to play dominoes for like 2 and a half hours. everytime we'd end a round we would sneakily start over again as fast as possible so if they walked by it appeared as though we were continuing the same round haha. many laughs and i love that. i love my sisters. shaquel, im so glad your here for this week. i couldnt be HAPPIER!!!!

" the older you get the more important family becomes, and slowly but surely you start to realize that."

Owl to the Citayyyyy!

mhmm mhmm, thats right. i get to go to owl city : ) love them. all thanks to kenneth jones who can actually keep a secret for like weeks upon end. its great. your great. lifes great. thank you owl city for making my life complete, you do something to me that makes me smile and i like that : )

Sugar BUM!!!

Dear Shaquel,

I really hope you have an awesome day! Everything will be juuuust fine. You're stronger than me anyday and I've always looked up to you for that. Seriously....

Arent those flowers beautiful?! DAHLIAS. my favorite. lucky for me, i have a boy who tried 3 different places just to find my some of these things. i love his surprises, they never cease.

heart you k.j.

Ha. Ha.

This is a little taster of what my day was like. this actually looks like my sister today. BEST. DAY. EVER. i love my life.

so i went to my sisters boyfriends farewell today. our whole family went. it was in grantsville, which is pretty far away. sheesh it was far. so incredibly fun though. the events that transpired?


-viewing the great salt lake. which just gives me a boost for when i move to back to cali. haha. miss it there.
- having everyone in the sacrament stare for literally like 10 minutes as we tried to find seats in a sold out crowd. most embarrassing thing thats happened to me in a while. trust me, worse than it seems.
- hysteric laughter the entire hour car ride home because we had to take all our food in the car.
- dad goes over a speed bump without slowing down while 8 people have plates full of food and drinks without lids! plus half the 8 were 15 and under. that= no good when it comes to balance.
- finding one cazilllion hairs in my brownie AFTER its in my mouth visible at eye level.
- dad going 100 miles per hour, fearing for my life. and being chased by some random guy who thinks hes cool and can tattle tale to the cops. "ooo im so flippin sweet"
- brooke and cass stickin their heads out of the window at 100 mph. cass losing her candy on brookes lap because when having an open mouth at once again, 100 mph, there is no way your slobber and any other contents will stay in your mouth haha.
- playing air guitar
- oh many others but my mind has come to a complete close. i laughed my head off today. felt so good...

until next time friends haha.

LAUGH IT OFF. : )

p.s. good luck austin gumicio. your gonna be simply amazing

Huh?

So... life has been just a TEENSY bit crazy. but ya know, we deal. Thats all i can really say. I found myself stuck in alot of different situations and i just feel stress, and anxiety and sick to my stomach. THEN! who comes to the rescue? none other than... da da da! Bewitched haha. I loved them when i was little. I randomly found this song on my ipod and who would have ever known, these words would heal my sad aching little heart. Thank you music for making life ok at times. i owe you big time.

Hold On

You've always been a tough girl,

But you feel you're about to break.

You're feeling stuck,And out of luck,

Watching your dreams all slip away.

Been working mornings in the kitchen,

And working nights at the corner store.

As your life flies by,You wonder why,

There's gotta be something more.

(Chorus)

Hold on,But don't hold on too tight.

Let go,It's gonna be all right.

Don't run away from what your heart is saying.

Be stong,Face what you're afraid of.

Come on,Show 'em what you're made of.

I know it's hard when your hope is gone,

But you gotta keep holding on.

You're hear a voice that's calling,

And it's telling you to make a change.

It's time to fly,And say goodbye,And move on to a better place.

You know you gotta take the first step,

To get to where you wanna be.

Just get on track,And don't look back,

'Cos it's the only way that you're gonna be free..

(Chorus)

Hold on..You're gonna make it,You're gonna be stronger.

Hold on..Hang in there, baby,Just a little bit longer.

Hold on..Yeah, and you're gonna be fine.

Don't give up,Be strong.

When the going gets tough,You gotta hold on.

I know it's hard when your hope is gone,

But you gotta keep Holdin' on..
