hi.

went to type in 'construction companies in utah' in the google search, but accidently typed google.com/reader instead. stumbled upon this and am now doing a bit of a listy myself.

march seems like a big month. its the most hopeful month of the year, spring is upon us and summer is so. so near. so my to-do list of the month is.

-clean my room out. SERIOUSLY. i have way too much stuff for this tiny room. clean out the drawers so i can ACTUALLY use them.

-work my new do.

-enjoy every second of the short lived trip to san fran. take one picture for every minute spent there.

eeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!

-do without my spending plan. i find that going a month without shopping results in me feeling good about saving money, and feeling better about being able to spend a lot since i havent spent any all month. am i making sense?
-buy new spring clothes/accessories.

it'll go on sale soon.

-countdown.
-countdown.
-countdown.
-or not countdown.
whichever makes it go fasterfasterfaster.

-do homework. on time. completely finished.

-write chase/jake/derek/jason(dad). family sticks together.

-ride my bike every single day that its warm enough that my hands dont freeze.
-also, play tennis once a week.
at least.

-be on time to work/school. (i put this on here to make it seem like i'll actually be trying to be on time to things.)

-enjoy every second of everyday! and live it like it is my last! I read a journal type thing that i wrote december 6, 2007. some of it was soooo cute!! i dont remember writing anything that i did. i'll share a couple

Your motto: "life gives you millions of opportunities. How many are you going to take?"
The memory that still m akes you laugh: When Chase and I went to Wheeler Farm and it was an old peron singles dance!

seriously. there were tons of cars at the farm, so we decided to see what was up. we walked unto the barn to find at least 100 single ADULTS. adult-adults!! they were probably 40-60.
dancing.
and SINGING.
to N SYNC.

It was the best thing that i have ever seen and when chase and i walked out of there (after watching for at least 10 minutes) we died laughing. i was laughing so hard that i had tears streaming down my face. it was the best thing i've ever seen. parents being SOOO care free. i dont know WHAT they would do if their kids saw them acting the way they were.

there were a couple things that i wrote in there that i wish would happen, and it did. so crazy.

anyway, back to doing homework.
wish me luck :)

a blog full of pics.

a lot has happened in the last five months.
lets go on a tour.

in the last five i have:
-gone back to ny to visit a place i had grown to love. it is always hard to adjust there, even if you were once used to the craziness.

-hung out with lyndsi errrr day. and got matching girly tattoos.

-attended my fathers nuptials.
(katie, i have no pictures of all of us.)

-lived with my aunt. gossiped with my aunt. went to sleep at 10 for the first time since jr high.

-respected my pioneer heritage. i have a great great great great grandma who walked 20 miles, then stopped and gave birth to her child. jealous?

-voted.

-hit a man.
he was very upset.
justkiddinghelaughed.
justkiddinghedied.
justkiddingjustkiddingjustkidding.

-had my wisdom teeth extracted. was a hot mess for five days while doped up on loritab, but not staying indoors. became addicted to loritab.

-did a 4 month online class in 4 days. got a C.

-hung out with mike every single day. went to the gym every morning and did a REAL work out. was in the best shape of my life.
stopped going to the gym when he got engaged a week later.

-visited amanda in california. met a man. he forgot about me when i boarded the plane. never got sick of single ladies. four months later.

-flew to las vegas for a friends wedding.

-hung out with my past with my sisters.

-started school.

-moved to sugar house.

-became a home body. do homework days before its due. frequently go to bed at 10. often only hang out on weekends, get good grades for the first time in my life!! and feel GREAT about it.

-did something my dad would never think was possible: took a job that requires me being at work from 8 am to 2pm every day but tuesday, when i have class all day.

-this weekend: hung out with ladies. and jonny's dog. :-/

-came to love him more than i did before.

so my life has changed drastically. my priorities have changed, i've changed. and i love my life so much. five months is such a long time.

this weekend.

going to vanilla ice/mc hammer.

weekend.

dads have motherly instincts too.

i slept at my dads house last night and he woke me up at 730 because i had work at 8. when i got up to get ready, his door was shut and i think he was back asleep. so cute. i didnt even ask him to wake me up.

anyway. the weekend! i'm so excited. my life has been really fun lately, finally.

i'll talk about this week later, i dont have very much time. i got paid today! so happy. then i'm going to do another craft (i should put pictures up of my recent crafts! so fun being domestic), then i have a massage tonight. i can not wait. i love having another womans hands all over my naked bod for an hour straight. then i'm going to dinner with my cousin, i always have so much fun gossiping with her (you'll be missed, jill). after dinner, i'm either going to highland to see my sweety gurl!!!!! or going to my roommates parents house in orem. both sound very fun and very tempting, i'll have to see how it plays out.

after i work half day tomorrow, i'm hanging out with amanda and her gf chelsie, and my old roommate from new york is coming into town. she is the funniest/weirdest/craziest girl, i love her so much. girls night tonight and tomorrow, i can not wait.

hahaha. i miss lyndsi so much.
i hope you all have a fun and safe weekend! can't wait to catch up with you all via google reader at work on monday! (haha)


xoxo

so creative.

love/shopaholic

i hope you all have a great valentines day, lauren i'm sorry you dont have a valentine, i would be yours if you were here. i promise i would treat you really well ;)


I SAW CONFESSIONS OF A SHOPAHOLIC.
it was pretty hard to watch.
a few different times in the movie i caught myself shaking my head because the words that came from her lips were like gospel doctrine.
i tried finding exactly what Rebecca said online but i couldnt.

she said something along the lines of:
Buying something makes your world right for awhile. but it doesnt last. Then you have to buy something else to make it right again.

it made me want to cry!! it is TOO true.
i hate being a shopaholic.

yesterday i did my finances and was sooo pleased with the results! so pleased in fact, that when i was thinking about how good it felt to be financially stable, i pictured myself in all new clothes and thought about what i was going to buy next.

very sick!

Dear Jesus,

Thank you.
SERIOUSLY. thank you.

my computer had quite a bit of a melt down on saturday.
I tried putting windows onto my mac and silly me, deleted all of my hard drive.

after two days of it being on the fritz (okay, 1. but it seemed like 5) i took it to the apple store.
they told me my hard drive was deleted, all my pics, music, videos, documents EVERYTHING since last may (pictures since last january, music since jr high...haha.).
They were going to try to do data recovery of some sort. he said it didn't look good, and cross your fingers. he did not lay this news on me nice AT ALL. so the whole way home i just cried and cried and cried thinking mostly of all the pictures from new york i had lost.

so i called them monday and they'd lost my computer (seriously. he came on the phone and said "we can't find your computer."), they eventually found it and said they had someone working on it which means it was shoved in a corner and hadnt even been looked at yet. then i called again and tuesday (they said they'd call me when it was done...they didnt) and picked it up. i was a confused mess when i got it, everything had changed, all my programs i'd downloaded were removed. when i turn the computer on it sounds like a pc (SO ANNOYING). i came home and transferred all my music. it doubled my music so i have to go through and delete 1 of every song, also annoying.
the worst/best part.
they had all my pictures.
PLUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EVERY
OTHER
PICTURE
I HAVE EVER!!!!!!
VIEWED ON THE INTERNET!!!!!


EVERYONE from my facebook account had pictures on my computer. i seriously had people ALBUMS saved into my iphoto. everyones display picture, pictures i've viewed on peoples blogs, banners from the side of perez hilton for american apparel and antique attire. there were pictures of people i have never seen, pictures from google maps. you know how you watch a video? well every 1 second it took a picture of every video i've seen. so i had a play by play in pictures of the video. does that make sense? i had to go through and delete pictures of little kittens in dog bowls, pi phi and beta parties (thanks jill, i had like 8 THOUSAND of those), pictures of girls kissing their bf's on the beach, and oh P.S.---it added like 4 or 7 or 2 or 8 copies of the same picture onto my computer. so i have to go through and delete all but one of every picture. IT IS SUCH A MESS!!!!!!!!!!!!
but i am so happy that they got it fixed.

and for that, i'm going to post a few photos that i/we could have/would have forgotten about.

oh and also.

this is my 100th post.
:D :D :D :D

picture I found on my computer. never seen it before but refuse to delete it.

little boy i used to tend. i gave him a tear jerker. if any of you have ever had one of those, i hope your mouth is watering, mine is right now. it was the yellow one too. so funny.

best picture ever. i tried deleting it long long ago but by the Grace of God it appeared on my computer this weekend, i will never delete it again. ps say what you will, i can take your criticism. (pps if it is from you, amanda, i'm sure i can find your picture somewhere)

this is the fountain in the middle of columbus circle. one night it was pouring rain and adam and i saw the fountain....knew we needed to play in it. so we got completely submerged in the water and took pictures and laughed and laughed. P.S. new york city is NEVER EMPTY. a group of tourists came by and were taking pictures of us. too funny.

battery park. this group of us walked/rode our bikes alllll day from washington heights, the very top of manhattan to the very tip. 13 miles. it was so much fun, shopping, eating, seeing everything there is to see, riding our bikes through SKETCHYYYY traffic.

i love this kid. this is us at the bronx zoo. adam and i were the only white folk. :) he's just a little taller than me.

adam and i saw this woman at rockaway beach. i think she was homeless, however. she DID have a karaoke machine and she WAS singing to herself. best thing ever.

bees games. the good old days...

every night of my life when living at my fathers. let the pets in. let them eat then take them upstairs. ps i am not going to the bathroom, merely sitting on top of the closed seat.


my friends are amazing.

i dont ever want to forget this.
view from my apartment in nyc.

another song.

i want to give up.

"Heart of Life"
John Mayer

I hate to see you cry lying there in that position.
There's things you need to hear
So turn off your tears and listen
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No it won't all go the way it should
But i know the heart of life is good

You know it's nothing new
Bad news never had good timing
Then the circle of your friends
Will defend the silver lining

Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
Fear is a friend who's misunderstood
But i know the heart of life is good.
I know it's good.



but i will keep on doing my thing.
and hope for a break .
