HAPPY HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

WAHOO! IT'S FINALLY HERE! I stayed up last night to finish my costume with my roommates and may I just say that we LOOK GOOD! YAYUH! Talk about awesome. I'm so darn excited. Rest assured, there will be pictures! The only bad thing about a holiday coming up is that after today, it will be over. Sad day...but that also means that on Thursday I get to redecorate for Thanksgiving. And you know what that means...it's almost time to decorate for CHRISTMAS. haha. Not to mention that my favorite people are coming up to the cold bad place weather for Turkey Day. I would really prefer to travel down there...I've never appreciated birds more than I do now...flying south for the winter is so dang smart. Whoever stays here if they have a free one way ticket to warm weather is cRaZy. I have met so many people from Utah and I'm thinking...WHY? Why haven't you moved yet? hahaha...I guess I'm just biased cuz I love it in Texas and not so much in Utah when it's cold. Although, I will admit that if I go to Texas Women's to get my masters like I'm kinda planning, it will be really weird to not be in a Mormon school. It has definitely been the coolest experience.

Anyway, so I get to DJ the party tonight...lucky for me! :) That just means that the music is gonna rock since I'll be in charge. haha. After which I will proceed to partake in yet ANOTHER bet. Which by the way, I lost the card game bet, but won the stinky socks bet, so it worked out well. Anyway, tonight's bet is on pizza for a Mario kart tournament on N64. I'm fairly confident only because when I'm losing, I cheat. Aka, sitting in front of the TV so the other person can't see, or unplugging their controller. He never said I couldn't cheat whenever we laid down the rules, so I'm good to go! :)

May I just say that I wrote an 8 page paper on Monday night, and studied hardcore for a midterm that I just took (and feel pretty good about by the way) and now I just have one more paper to write which I've already found the articles for!! I'm so glad I made it through this week without passing out.

So there was this lost dog that was roaming around our apartment complex for the last little bit so we've taken her in and fed her n stuff. She has a collar but no tags or anything and she's soooo sweet. Anyway, last night she kept wanting to sleep on my bed with me, however...can we say no? I kick. :) Anyway, I guess I threw one of my cuddle pillows off the bed last night and when I woke up she was like totally sprawled out on it. lol. needless to say, I'll definitely be washing that thing before I reuse it, but she's just so cute and I love it! Anyway, I have class now, so I'm out! LATAS!! XOXO

Good times...

So this week has been pretty good despite how crazy busy I've been. After having a GREAT weekend in Vegas with my favorite gal pal/sister, Monday kicked off with a sweet round of the fruit game at FHE. You basically pick a fruit and if someone calls your fruit, you have to yell someone else's fruit before you get hit in the head with something...in this case, a blow up baseball bat! It was definitely good. Not to mention that the dessert was yummy, which was then followed by an intense whipped cream fight! I definitely got it the worst, but it was worth it. It was really only because everyone realized that after the huge fight, I didn't have any on me so they all ganged up on me. I had no hope of staying unsticky! :) Tuesday I worked a lot on my costume which is looking awesomely by the way! I also was invited to attend the much anticipated "Bob Ross Date." I'm sure you all remember Bob Ross...the afro painting man, who paints happy little everythings! It was definitely awesome. There were three "couples" and each couple had their own canvas to share. They found an episode of Bob Ross on youtube and then we painted...needless to say that it didn't turn out QUITE like Bob's, but in Flaura's words, "Oh I improved it!" It was definitely fun. Today I got a lot done with my genealogy projects (that's right...two!) and more on one of my communications papers and yes, more with my costume. I ran into Laura (my roommate) today when walking home from class, so we decided to stop at J-Dawgs which is this student owned hot dog stand. I hear about how awesome it is ALL the time by everyone and their mom and so today was my first day to try one and woah dang...it was good! Not only that, but on the way home, we saw a huge pile of leaves in someone's yard and we jumped in it. Good times. Not to mention that we also took a study break to go to one of the best ice cream places ever...Sub Zero! They make it right in front of you with liquid nitrogen. It's freaking awesome and it just tastes so darn good!

THe rest of the week will probably be the same awesomeness! I'm going to the Zoo with Zarah and Ashton tomorrow so we can check out the penguins (mine and Zarah's favorite animal), which will then be followed by watching Smallville and the Office and then playing a round of egyptian rat screw (an awesome card game) becuase he thinks he can beat me and I say otherwise. So we have a bet on it...who ever loses has to buy the other person some sub zero. I'm happy cuz either way, I get ice cream! :) Friday I have a blind date with someone that my friend absolutely loves, so that should be fun and Saturday I'm wakin up early to go to the temple, and then high tailin it up to SLC to do more genealogy research like ALL DAY. WAHOO. I also have another bet going on with my roommate this week...its kinda gross, but whatever...I don't care. haha. She decided that she wanted us to see who could go a whole week without changing socks. We've just finished day 3 and well...it kinda smells, but I think I'm gonna hold out! If we both last til Sunday we get Dairy Queen ice cream, if someone poops out...the other buys it for both. If you can't tell...I LOVE ice cream and it pretty much motivates me to do anything. haha. Anyway, this is pretty long, so i'm signin out! XOXO

Fall Frenzies!!!

Sleep...what's that?

So, can I tell you how excited I am about the office and Smallville tonight?! YAYUH! I always look forward to my Thursdays...I work in the morning for what seems like forever haha, and then I have class, but i get out at 3:15 so I high tail it off to the temple and BOOYAH...my Thursdays rock. Although, today, I'm incredibly tired. I've had so much to do this week, not to mention that I haven't gotten a full 8 hours of sleep in who knows how long. I'm definitely excited to take a nap on Sunday if it happens! YAY. I've decided that the weekend after Vegas with Meredith, I'm going to purposely not plan anything so i can lay around in my sweats all day, catch up on homework and sleep...I'm so darn excited! I might even get to squeeze in a movie on Saturday. WAHOO! You know what that means tho...time to bust out While You were Sleeping or something awesome like that. I always wonder how I made it thru Seminary...it still baffels me!

Okay happy moment number 2: I went to bed bath and beyond last night cuz when Dad was up here way back when, he stole one of my pillow cases on accident and so I went to go get a new one and when I walked in it smelled like CHRISTMAS. It was the best thing ever! I didn't want to leave tho, but it was totally worth it! I'm so darn excited to put up Christmas Decor after we eat Thanksgiving food. haha. Anyway,

Weekend musings

Okay so this weekend was kinda bitter sweet for me. It was awesome because of Conference (of course), but it really sucked other than that. It was kinda lame. I really feel like I didn't get one. I've been so excited to go to conference (I had tickets to the Sunday afternoon session that my dad got for me) and two of my friends wanted a ride up there too but of course they were running late (like 30 minutes late!) BLEH...anyway, by the time we got there, you can imagine that the traffic was ICKY so yeah...they gave my seat away and I was totally bummed. I admit, I cried. ARG. Oh well...hopefully next time.

I did get to do laundry which makes me happy cuz that means I get to wear a bunch of my big fuzzy sweaters this weekend cuz it was CoLd! AH! :) I also got to watch Jungle Book for the first time yesterday since like forever ago so that was definitely a huge pick me up! Not to mention that #5 returned the favor of us pranking them! I dunno if I told yall that we broke into their apartment and stole all of their plates and bowls in exchange for our oven door that they had stolen the previous week. So yeah, we wake up yesterday morning and laura goes to leave out the back door and she opens it, then closes it really fast and just kinda points at the door...so I go over and open the door to find that they have stretched fake spider webs (lime green by the way) all over our front door, attached with coloring book pages that they colored. lol. They made new rules that we're not allowed to steal stuff anymore. I think they were jealous that we knew how to break into their apartment but they didn't know how to get into ours. haha. Meh well...it's fun anyway! i'm not quite sure how we're retaliating yet, but it'll be good, whatever it is! I hope everyone's conferencing weekend was awesome! YAHOO!

Crazy days ahead...

Howdy! So, I've been so incredibly busy these last few weeks that I don't remember quite what it's like to sit and do nothing...or even sitting and watching a movie without worrying about the other stuff that I'm supposed to be doing. haha. Meh, that's college life right? I'm definitely excited for Meredith to come out in two weeks so I can get away for a while. That will be so nice! Vegas...here I come!!

So, as I'm sitting at work today, I realize that I'm getting a huge craving for Ice Cream sandwiches...i want them bad. haha. I'll probably have to go get some after work. lol. OOOOOO, I don't remember if I already wrote about this, my my friends and I decided that we're going to dress up as the Justice League for Halloween this year in honor of our love for Smallville. Some of our roomies don't really know about the justice league however, so we're kinda just saying super hero's in general, but we're gonna try and get as many as we can from the league! I'm gonna be the Green Arrow and every time I watch clips from Smallville with Oliver Queen in em, it makes me miss him. lol...he was just too darn cute to not be on the show anymore! It's a tragedy and I can't wait until the episodes when he comes back! :) Yeah, so I'm pathetic, but what are you gonna do? At least I'm not still in love with the gay guy from Nsync. haha. I like to call that my Ross factor. I remember when he came out of the closet, I had about 5 or 6 of my friends and family ask me how I was doing and if I was handling the news well or not. hahahaha. Silly silly silly!

My new favorite show (aside from Smallville of course) is the Office. It's so darn hilarious. So, if you don't watch it, you should! Thursday nights at 8...I love that they moved times to fit my Smallville schedule! :) Well kids, I'm off to get back to work. catch ya on the flip side!
