Words I Thought I'd Never Say

I'm most likely moving back to Utah.

Things to do:

• Stop spending money without need.
• No more Frozen Yogurt "just because"
• Only go to movies that I'm dying to see
• Buy no more clothes
• Just avoid Target at all costs
• Stop buying people things
• Only buy grocery store basics - no more fun, no more baking, no more unnecessaries
• Try selling clothes (this one makes me nervous)
• Shop for warm coats & jackets in the summer in Texas (discounts!)
• Shop for L.L. Bean boots in the summer (discounts!)
• Think long and hard about updating my Uggs (this one is painful)
• Look at apartments
• Look at cheap bedding (I made this orange, because my bedding is always orange)
• Think about what are the kitchen necessities and only buy those
• Do not renew my Costco Card
• Do not quit my job until I must
• Go to the Dentist
• Go to all doctors
• Get more contacts before leaving
• Update and maintain my car

Things I should do but won't

• Drive less
• Actually go ot the Dentist

• Catch up on the shows that I love watching
• Lose 375 lbs

I will update this list as needed.
Adieu.

I Wanna Be A Rap Superstar

I wish I was fluent in rapping to the following songs.

• Changes. Tupac 

Kidding! Don't want to waste a wish on that one.  Already know it. Perfectly.

• B.O.B. Outkast
• Down. 311
• Still D.R.E. Dr. Dre ft. Eminem

Life goals never stop coming out of the woodwork.

i wish i didn't

In my goal to be angelically good I've realized I've had some difficulties

Some things that I wholeheartedly adore and ardently love,

Well,

Well, they are bad.

I wish I didn’t love them so immensely.

Not only are many hazardous to my health – some are horrible and plain annoying to love.

1.      Speeding
(Obviously hazardous to my health)

2.      Swearing
(Not angelically good)

3.      Gum Swallowing
(Embarrassing, disgusting, yet oh so satisfying)

4.      Nike Shorts
(I hate all the typical UT girls with the Nike Shorts and the oversized shirts --- but I still pine for the shorts. I own 1 pair. I bought them in a&m maroon so I would never be mistaken for an obnoxious poorly dressed co-ed. I just want to look like someone who is going to the gym)

I don't want to be this girl - she already exists all over cmapus

5.      Washing my hair
(I LOVE washing my hair but I hate to dry and style it. Therefore my hair usually looks bad. Also, it’s not good for someone trying to grow their hair out to wash it every day. But oh, I so love how it feels to wash my hair)

6.      Texas Pride
(I have it but it annoys me)

7.      Being Early
(Try as I might, I cannot be late, it’s so obnoxious)

8.      Gossiping

I don't watch this show but Blair is a doll

9.      Celebrities

10.  Lying

11.  Twilght

 

 

12.  Hipster boys on bikes  & skateboards riding around downtown Austin
(They’ll never love me back)

I wish I did

 

I wish I liked these good things: Peppers, the scriptures, shrimp & windshield wipers

2011 Recap

I've been meaning to do a post like this for a while but whenever I start to do it

I just get sad.

This was the first full year of my life with out my friend Greg Coleman.

I start to think of the year to make a list of the "top ten things" and I realize I cannot really remember much of January, February or March.

It was all such a blur.

 I know I got a gym membership for Christmas so I started going to the gym.

I think besides going to the office & the gym I didn't do much of anything.

I think I just slept alot.

Well anyways- here is what I do remember - the top events of the year.

1. TOWNSHIP REBELLION:

as in when Rage Against the Machine played Township Rebellion

and I was there,

at LA Rising on July 31 (Harry Potter's Birthday)

with Shwn Casey Gleason

life goal - check

Zach de la Rocha

Tom Morello

2. Being picked up from the airport in Vegas

"how are my best girl friends"

-Regina George's mom

My top two moments include Shwn

3. I bought a gun

and i'm a really good shot
life goal - check

4. I became an aunt, again

NYC 2011

Saturday:
Took the train into NYC from Newark.
Went to McDonalds for breakfast.
Went to the South Shore for  TKTS and shopping.
Wall Street.
Katz Deli.
Memphis on Broadway.
Train back to Newark.

Katz was delicious.
Memphis was good - but I didn't really keep me singing the tunes all night long. The high note was that, as a fan of Rent, it was cool that I recognzied the leading man in Memphis as the leading man in Rent. He was my least favorite character and actor -- but alas! Earwax. I saw someone I recognized by name and by voice.

Sunday:
Train the NYC from Newark with all the luggage.
Dropped off bags at Hotel and ate breakfast there.
Went to Church.
Back to hotel to change.
Rockefeller Center.
Apple Store.
FAO Schwartz.
Dinner at some random Deli that was pretty good..
Cheesecake from Carnegie Deli.

Church was the best part of the day. It was crazy. First of all I saw Naomi from taza-and-husband.blogspot.com outside. She's not as cute in real life as on her blog. She looked to thin and trendy. Then you go up into this buidling and you are in a normal looking church. I saw some kids I recognized from BYU but not real friends. The bishop of the singles ward (that we attended) is our neighbors dad so it was intersting. He's very nice.

Monday:
Ice Skating in Central Park.
Lunch at Cosi.
Shopping at American Girl (for Rosie) and H&M (for me).
Dinner at the Shake Shack and dessert from PinkBerry.

Ice skating was the best part of the trip.

Tuesday:
Downtown for TKTS and 9/11 memorial.
American History Museum (love!)
Phantom (love!)
Juniors (yet another deli - love!)

Wednesday:
shopped
walked in central park
ate pizza
flew home


I love NYC and I love Duane Reade.
