mmm mmm good

Today I wore Kristofor's deoderant. I'll let you guess why.

It was all gooey and gross, but I gotta tell you...


I smell GOOD today.

yo-oh!

It's my favorite day of the year. =)

Well, one of them.

I could be famous

I was embarrased by own behavior yesterday and thought I would share.

We have a 50 cent pop machine where I work, in which we have a variety of pop to choose from. I usually get a Coke, but occassionaly I'm in the mood for root beer.

Now the thing is, I'm picky about my root beer. I pretty much only like Barq's. Anything else...thumbs waaaaay down. Like Mug or A&W. I really dislike A&W. I don't hate it, but...you know. Yuck.

So a while ago the machine was filled with A&W which I never drank. Okay, I did once and learned my lesson. It was filled with A&W but then we got Barq's. So A&W on bottom, Barq's on top. I knew we were getting close to having only Barq's but wasn't sure...there might still be some A&W in there.

I really wanted root beer yesterday so I thought I would take my chances with the 'root beer' button...As I was waiting for the pop to be dispensed I chanted "Barq's Barq's Barq's!" to myself while crossing my fingers. When the can came out and was silver and glorious and I knew it was Barq's and I pumped my fists into the air and said "YES! Barq's!"

Then I took my can...and opened it... "Ahhh. . . Barq's."

And I realized right then and there that I sounded like a really REALLY dumb commercial. Except I wasn't paid to act like that and hopefully no one saw me.

did I shave my legs for this?

Last Sunday Kristofor and I gave talks in Sacrament meeting. The topic was "My faith in the Atonement guides my life."

Yeah. For real. It wasn't just 'faith,' or just 'the Atonement' or something easier...I was scurred!

I stayed up late the night before getting everything ready. We have church at 9, so I wanted to take care of anything that could be done the night before. First, I tried on 10 different outfits before settling on what to wear (like anyone but me could tell I put effort into my outfit). Then I worked for a bit on my talk. Then I showered and decided how to do my hair. Then I finished my talk at at about....oh, 3 o'clock I crawled into bed. WHEW!

I realized the next morning that in the hustle and bustle of "Saturday is a Special Day" I forgot to shave my legs, but oh well, no one can see your legs when you're giving a talk except the bishop and he shouldn't be looking either!

The talks went well. Kristofor only had about 5 minutes to give his 15 minute talk....(and he stayed up until 5 getting it all ready....I KNOW!!)

But no one fainted or died. And afterwards people only said "I enjoyed your talk" and not "Nice hairy legs, you hippie."

It was sure nice of them.

doughnuts and love

I know I look retarded BUT LOOK AT MY B.F.F. - !

Could he be any sweeter? I don't think so. For Valentines he bought tickets for us to go to the Symphony in Salt Lake. I am so excited... I get to dress up! It makes me want to wear white gloves that go up to my elbow, like Anastasia in the cartoon movie.

On a different note, I decided to make doughnuts tonight. I was really craving double blueberry doughnuts, but thought these would do the trick.. I've never made doughnuts (donuts?) before, and except for burning the last couple, they turned out all right.
Yayyy, for my first time doughnut making success! Yay for husband letting me snap a picture of us together!!

enjoying the small things

A lady that I work with showed me a blog the other day that I can't stop thinking about. It's so beautiful and touching and sweet and my words can't do it justice.

So, if you have time, go HERE. I really think that you will fall in love with this little family and one of their stories. I know I did.


And I really can't stop thinking about it.

blaaaah

I'm sorry I haven't posted forever. It's because all my pictures are so old and IMO, blogs are more fun when you have a picture to look at. And I'm tired of posting old photos.

So, for your viewing pleasure, here is moi with my new hair color (yes, I was planning on this before the whole 'albino incident')!

Taken just now! Just for this blog post! When I first got it dyed it was darker but it's faded fast. I can only blame myself because I'm too cheap to buy color care shampoo and conditioner.

Do you get tired of pictures of me?!? I know they are kind of boring, huh. Sorry.

I've been missing my baby brother lately. I miss his funny comments like "Civilians are so rude" and whatnot. He's nice to talk to when I'm sad or mad because he just listens and lets me unload. Although he probably doesn't enjoy that as much as I do. I've never appreciated what a good friend he is to me.

Really, though, things 'round here have been pretty uneventful (That's another one of those reasons for lack of posting).

I should really start studying now.
