Change Is Good-- Right?!

So my adventures in Utah are coming to an end. Looking back I was able to do some cool stuff like:

(New Kids on The Block, Stephenie Meyer, and Kelly Clarkson)

and some bad stuff happened to me like:



three car accidents (only one was my fault), and mosquito bites that grew to the size of a watermelon. (Yeah huge!) But, most importantly graduating. That is what I came here for. I'm definitely gonna miss all the friends that I made





and Maggie and Miley









(and their parents and my brother of course).

Although it's a sad time, it's also an exciting time. Change is good . . . . right ?!

The True American Idol

Kelly Clarkson is AWESOME!! She is definitely my idol. She sang all her good songs, and the ones I don't know. . . . yet. In attendance: Justine (my Aussie); Stephanie and Jenny Mitchell (twinners); Sydney, Brea, and Bailey; Kyla, Talina, Katie, Sheri, and Callie; and Me. She is definitely worth the $15 bucks- shoot I probably would have paid for the VIP passes, but then again I wouldn't have had as much fun without my homies.

Rain or shine Kelly rocked the field!

That's Not Very Nice

So I've watched the New Moon trailer a couple times, and I am excited. It looks like it should be good. It's a lot brighter than Twilight. The colors are warmer, like orangey, whereas Twilight had blue hues which gave it a darker feel. Obviously it's the director's style and artistic vision, and the reason for it remains to be seen.

I do find the poster to be a bit deceiving. Jacob with his back to Edward seems normal since they are mortal enemies, but it's Jacob who is guarding Bella (which happens for most of the story), but Edward is just as protective of Bella, and that's basically why he does everything he does. But, it's the placement of Bella and how she is holding onto Jacob that is frustrating. Bella inadvertently leads Jacob to believe he has some chance (which isn't very nice), while Edward is being pushed out of the picture.

Just google "New Moon trailer" and you can find about a 1,000,000 different hits on it. It's pretty intense.

A New Epidemic

Last night I stayed the night at my sister's house so I could watch my niece this morning while she took her other daughter to a doctor's appointment. She got home around 11 am, and I hung around for a little bit, and then someone came knocking on the front door. I thought it was my niece banging on one of the doors in the house because she got locked inside one of them, or something. I heard my sister talking to someone outside, and so obviously I became interested. It was a Kirby vacuum salesman. She invited him in for a "brief" demonstration (he ended up staying from almost 2.5 hours, and he ate a hot dog).

He showed us all the cool gadgets, directing most of his attention to my sister. During his first hour he showed us all the neat tricks, and it's "transformer" capabilities--from upright to hand held to canister. He told us about CBD, and then proceeded to show us what it is. He went over to the couch and started to vacuum it. I thought he couldn't pick up a whole lot because it's a microfiber couch and it would be easy to see the dirt. When he was finished he showed us the results. It was disgusting. (I obviously had been laying there about an hour before). The dust, dirt, lint, dead skin, etc. was thicker than the dirt that came out of the carpet. Concentrated Butt Dust, CBD. I wanted to buy a Kirby for myself.

The second hour wasn't as impressive--just putting the vacuum away.

Harry Potter Trailer

This movie looks so AWESOME!!



Stupid Warner Brothers making us wait 7 months.

Lots of Stuff Goin' On

This week has been an exciting week. First off my sister Kendra and her kids from California came up to visit; then I certified at work and now I can get paid just a little bit more than before; I saw three movies Monsters vs. Aliens, Hannah Montana and Taken; went to my niece Miley's first birthdya; and ate out a lot. I've been so busy that I have not had time to take my daily naps, and have been living off of Mountain Dew just to survive. I love Mountain Dew and rarely drink it because of all the caffeine, sugar, and caffeine that I can only handle a little bit ever 6-12 months or so. I observed that when I drink Mountain Dew I usually toss and turn for most of the night (which is expected), but mostly because I have nightmares and have to go to the bathroom a lot. (The last part is really annoying, but there's more to that story that will have to be told at another time.) So, anyways life is great, and I'm just hangin' out wastin' time! Happy Easter and have a good life!

Happy Birthday to Me

So Wednesday is my birthday (and my niece's pictured here), and I am excited. I also don't know what to do. It's not a milestone birthday, so it's not like I can have a huge party and get gag gifts or something. It's kind of an insignificant age. I know for sure I am going to go out to dinner with my brother, and my sister and her family (yeah Kyla we're going to dinner in case you were wondering) probably to Caraba's because I've been craving Italian food lately, and last year we went Thai. So, if you have any suggestions on what I should do please leave a comment, or a birthday wish, and shower me with presents (cuz that's my favorite part!).
