Summer of Love 2007 in Provo. miss you.

Miss Mom

My sister and her husband went to Hawaii. So I am here in Vegas tending their children for the remaining days of their vacation. Being a mom is the craziest thing ever. I can't believe how hard it is!?!. I can't believe how so many people do this?!? You never get a rest, you never get a vacation. If you are tired it doesn't matter. They will poke you in the eye, put chapstick on your lips and forehead and hang beads from your nose.
Today, we had a lot of fun though. We went to the new DI that they just built up on the North side of town. I loved being able to buy them anything...because everything they picked up costed 50 cents. I felt like the best Aunt ever!! I bought Kenna a pink hat, a pink purse, a couple of toys and some red sparkley shoes, just like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. She put them on this afternoon and then she couldn't stop looking down at her feet. It was adorable. I wish I could have a picture of her bent over checking out her shoes.
Hopefully I have won over some young impressionable minds to the ways of thrift store shopping. You can feel like a millionaire!!

summer 2007

I have been so busy summering it up here in Provo, that I haven't written anything. But here goes....I came up for graduation, but just might stay forever, or at least until it starts turning cold. This is so much fun. Provo is the perfect place to be in the summer. My roomate and I organize our activities every day to be able to maximize the fun we have. We bike, swim, play badminton or volleyball and hang out with friends non-stop. We meet new people every day and flirt with all the guys at the bike shop.
Last week was dedicated to Spiderman. We went and saw the 3rd one yesterday. This week is dedicated to Freaks and Geeks....keeping with the James Franco theme. LOVE IT!
I will have to post some pictures from all my adventures. It has been amazing! I have met tons of people and am loving life!! Thats what this is, loving life 2007!!!

audi-whatey?

I just saw a sign that said, "Private Cul-de-sac, residents and guests only." What a funny word. I wondered why we would use something that meant bottom of a sack to name this type of urban planning. Then I remember back to the cul-de-sac where I lived growing up. And how I used to think it was called a cultasack. Here it is. Ahhh, the good ol days. Lately, I am having a struggle with growing up. I just don't want to do it. I want to swim everyday this summer and play capture the flag at night with Katie, Ben, Teryn, Brittany, Jake, Travis, and Rob.

highly recommended...

I just found out my latitude and longitude. Now I can finally be happy. I really know where I am. I am located at: 36° 5' N 115° 10' W. You can look up your own here. soooo enlightening.

why oh why?

Why is it that every time I hear the name Procter & Gamble I picture this. Does anyone else do that? Well, now you will.

if I was good at hating, I'd hate you. If I was good at loving, I'd fall.

ATTENTION: I made a new life record this weekend. I was proposed to twice. Once on Friday and once on Sunday. Two different guys. Can you believe it? Two proposals in one weekend! Also, two refusals in one weekend. So, now, if I don't ever get married, the responsibility will rest on my shoulders. I mean, it's not like I didn't have the opportunity! oops. "If I was good at loving, I'd fall," says Tracy Ann and I concur.

this sounds good.

I am feeling like one hundred dollars today. I know this guy. He's great and this article confirms it. Read this. I agree. Magleby's Talk

Talk To Him

If you think no ones ever felt this way
You are probably wrong.
everyone feels the same things.
How many emotions are there in this world:
sadness
anger
loneliness
rage
frustration
anxiety
jealously
love
depression
happiness
disappointment
hatred
disgust
peace
etc.
not more than the amount of people: 6,586,322,455 as of today.
I am almost one-hundred percent pretty sure
that another individual has felt the same
Maybe it wasn't caused by the same situation
Maybe to you, yours seems more harsh
but guarenteed, someone's felt what you are feeling.

We need a location device, some type of communicator
to put us in contact with those who have been through this
But then if you think about it
those people might be right around you
Maybe its your:
mom
dad
uncle
sibling best friend
second cousin
brother in-law
girl best friend
first cousin once removed
etc.
It could be someone close: within 2.3 miles.
Maybe they're upstairs
Thats probably where they are.
upstairs.
You should just ask.
yeah, Talk To Him.

Robots 2007

So, don't worry. This weekend when my friends were in town we made sure to make it to the Robot Convention. It was more like a competition to see who could make the best robot. All these highschoools came from all over the country to the Thomas & Mack and brought with them the future...robots. We had a good time. Heres some photos and clips from the blessed event.


This robot was tired.


These are the crazy robots during game time!
The future looks bright ladies and gentlemen.
eeeeps...this looks a little scary actually:

teaching swim school=really fun

Its only my second day and I already got this note. who wouldn't love teaching little kids to swim??? Plus they think you look really great in a swim suit...see the realistic representation..."when you swim, a side-pony is the way to go,"says swim teacher rachel.

provo dont be so lame...

come on grow up. seriously, like there aren't better things to do then protest the visit of the Vice-President of the United States. That makes me so sick. One thing I learned when I left Provo was that, everything that matters there, doesn't even matter in the real world. Its all about the people and there are so many other things we can do with our time.
I personally respect the decisions made by the board to invite Cheney. I am sure that I can learn something from him, even if I don't agree with a lot of his politics. He prolly won't even talk politics!
Its all about respect and tolerance. I feel so ashamed that my fellow students would disrespect like that...whateves, Its a free country. talk about controversy

Oh how I wish I could photosynthesize!!

Now I see that this has a double meaning. If you have twenty-nine minutes and four seconds, listen to this: Look up 'Maxwell, Neal A.' Topic:Patience, Its the last one listed, entitled "PATIENCE" then download the free MP3. It will change your life

Arbor day is on the way...

I might be a tree hugger
I bought this shirt to commemorate arbor day. love it.

holla holla holla

I LOVE my friends. Way to go superstars!! Go vote for Ju and Emily after March 31st. This video is spectacular!!

I, wanna rock and roll all night, and party every day.

So basically I was on tour with Drew Danburry, but if you want to know the truth, Drew just needed a ride to UT and as incentive told me I could open. It was pretty amazing to be a rock star for a weekend, playing a show for a bunch of people I didn't know, standing behind the merch table and telling everyone about Drew and his music. Its been fun to have Drew in Vegas.
First off on the tour, he played a show in Provo with Micah and Camille and some other bands. It was so much fun to see Heather, Amy, Hillary, Stefan, Lauren, Shannon, and Aaron:



After the Provo show we went up to Logan to play a house party. We met a ton of cool people and the crowd was amazing. I've included a picture of Drew rocking the crowd up in Logan.



I think it is so hard to make music into a business, or anything you love for that matter, into a business. If you become a rock star you need to make money doing it, but at the same time I wished that I could have developed real relationships with all of those awesome people I met in Logan. We had a great time and if anyone wants to book us for future shows. Call Annelisa...she's the real girlfriend/booking agent.


That yellow bucket was the collection plate. We got it filled to the top. People just kept pulling out $20s and we eventually had to tell them, "We know you like our music, but you need to eat this week." or "We can't take your whole paycheck." and stuff like that.

And here, for your listening pleasure, Nate and I recorded this song back in January. "Sonny Listen"--Its our first single. Enjoy!
Sunny Listen

This must be why I am so west coast...

I'm just a snob, reviewing some album...

So, the Shins new album...not many people have given it outstanding reviews. But personally, there are quite a few reasons why I like it. Mostly, I make that statement because of one line in 'Girl Sailor,' "You've made it through the direst of straits alright, can you help it if plain love now seems less interesting?"
That in a nutshell describes how I feel lately. When you've been in love with someone who is completely crazy, strange, non-commital, needy and extremely emotionally unstable, liking a normal guy suddenly becomes really hard. Your mind can't understand someone sane. What? there's no games, no guessing?? All the sudden plain love just seems less interesting. woah, unbelievable.
So at least I finally pin pointed what it was. In the end, when its true, plain love will be enough. John Lennon was right, "All you need is love."

I could chew this all day long...

YUM YUM GIMME SUM!! so minty, so mojito-y, so exotic. you're gonna love it.
