my bathroom

I did this totally randomly after reading color me katie and being quite bored.

It was my turn to clean the bathroom, so I did, and then to brighten up the small oppressive little room I did this:

Now getting ready in the bathroom (instead of my bedroom, which has HORRIBLE lighting) is actually fun and brightens up my day a little.

fun times with the family

so i am walking downtown stillwater with my siblings and my parents are a ways back, and some guy yells out of his car window at me, "hey beautiful!" and his car happened to be waiting for the light right as my parents walked by and so my dad turned to the guy and said, "that's my daughter." 

hahaha. 

it was gut busting. 

gah, i can't wait to go home

life is getting pretty boring in salt lake city (mn here i come- t-minus 8 days)! but i find ways to keep myself occupied. like spending most of my day at the computer lab mooching internet. i take the train up here at least once a day. i like the train and that is a very good thing because my car died today. i didn't leave the lights on or anything so i am not sure what is wrong with it. it is holding a charge for now but we will see. it's kinda frustrating, but i can take the train just about anywhere i need to be so it's okay. i like to take pictures of the things i see along the way.
here is a Plymouth Colt. it is my lucky car. i happen to be quite superstitious in my own weird way. one of my favorite books is The Curious Incident With The Dog In The night by Mark Haddon. it started my car superstition. its about an autistic boy who creates order in his day by the number of cars he sees of the same color (four red cars in a row mean a wonderful day, while four yellow cars mean a bad day, in which case he does not eat lunch and will not speak). if i see a colt it means something good is going to happen. something big. its not like wearing lucky underwear big. its bigger. a teal one, like the one my dad drove when i was a kid, means something even better will happen. i have seen three colts since the summer started. one yellow (in spanish fork), one blue (on the highway), and this white one (at the library). so far the yellow and blue ones have brought me good things but i have yet to see what the white one will bring. (i sound crazy, i know, but it works so i can't ignore it).

i also saw this cool leaf in the park by my apartment. it is probably man made but still way cool to just see lying in the grass.

and then there was this broken down piece of machinery by the field house and i'm not sure why i thought the ditch witch was so funny but i laughed pretty hard.
also on my way to campus i saw two people reading twilight books. it is so swiffering the nation. anyways, i was just watching the show bones with david boreanaz and i decided this...

angel is THE vampire hearthrob and i loved him way before edward cullen was even thought up. not that rob isn't a cute guy (but he only does it for me when he is edward anyways). angel totally kicks edwards ass.



thats all for today i guess. i'm gonna go finish my episode of bones and then head home for some dinner. maybe buy some ice cream to celebrate getting some money.

lots to catch up on

i have no internet so i have to take trax up to campus and use it here. so i have been putting off the blogging. i do however have lots of fun stuff and pictures and movies to post about. 

first was eliza's 21st birthday at the cheesecake factory. 

then there is my new apartment... the pictures suck because, really, theres not enough room to back up and take good ones. these are before i got anything in there.




then i went 80s dancing with my friend josh and his girlfriend and a bunch of other people and we slept over at josh's house that night and went camping up hobble creek canyon for the fourth. it was a ton of fun. we just goofed off all night. we were in the middle of nowhere and so we played music really loud (and killed the car battery in the process), danced around like idiots, went for a night hike, threw water balloons, wondered about bears, made spoon art, blew up sobe bottles full of gasoline, roasted marshmallows, ate boca burgers, and peed in gross toilets (although it was better than peeing in the dark woods i suppose).

i stayed sober... but some of the others didn't. which i found surprising since they were BYU kids. whoever thinks utes are sinners are douche bags. really now. i was the only ute and the only one not drinking. here are the pix i took... some are blurry which i think is cool. and the videos are awesome!!!







then on sunday i went to grandmas for dinner and a bunch of my cousins were there. grandma made spinach lasagna which was awesome but she thinks i don't eat enough. i have lost 8 pounds though so maybe she's right. here is a video of grandpa singing some song from some play he was in when my dad was a baby. blogger is being dumb and wont let me upload the other videos... i will try again later.

bah internet

i haven't posted in a long time although i have several plans for future posts... i am in my new apartment (where i have no internet connection) and i am going out of town for the weekend! happy fourth of july everyone!!
