Thought of the day

So today at work, we work next to the cosmetic counter. Today I found the most interesting thing I've ever seen. Evian, the same people that make the water, make this aerosol spray can that mists water. Its cute and stylish, but seriously, its just water. Right? I feel like i'm taking CrAzY PiLlS!!
They have this whole little shpeal about how it nourishes and refreshes your skin. "You can feel the radiance in your skin from this miracle from the French Alps"......ITS JUST WATER! What's the deal people? I refuse...no matter how fun it looks...I won't be sucked into this one. I've been faithful to my Evian water, but I cannot, I will not be tricked into buying this....sorry guys.
Confession: I did use some of it today, but Kami and I couldn't figure out what the point of it was, really, it just made me moist and uncomfortable....

12 Days of......ME!?

Alright, alright....this is my attempt at being creative with my blogging. I'm going to let you in on 12 things about me that you probably NE VER knew!! ooooo....crazy!

1. I hate socks. I pretty much own 4-5 pairs, which are all holiday socks ( valentines, christmas, etc.). They just bother me. Even in the winter I don't wear any, which poses some problems when the negative degrees start rolling in. I had to hunt around all of my boxes the other night for a pair to wear to the gym. Nope, i don't even wear socks to work out. Hmm...maybe I need to look into this habit a bit closer...


2. My favorite TV show is the OC. I know...I know! It looks way stupid, huh? Thats what I thought! But PEOPLE!! This is REAL! I'm so drawn to this show! I compare myself to characters and totally relate! WHEW! This season was insane. Its probably the only TV show out there without all of the trash. Its got good, sensible morals. Wierd, huh? You never knew!

3. I like to throw my pajamas in the dryer for two seconds till they get warm, then RIP them out and hurry and throw them on.....mmmm....its lovely....especially in the winter!

4. I own 23 pairs of shoes. Yeah...try hauling that up and down to and from Idaho to Utah. Sucks. I didn't even know it was that many. DI...here comes Hannah! Clear the shelves!

5. My BIGGEST pet peeve is going into gas stations. You ALWAYS come out of there smelling like some foul meat that they have been servin up all day. Fish, pork, tacos, whatever they make....you go in....and you're doomed...you'll never rid yourself of that sweet little smelly companion. Thus, I own a MILLION gas cards....pay at the pump...hehe

6. I am who they target commercials at. I am AWFUL! I will totally buy a product if I remember the commercial being AMAZZZING. I get so drawn into dumb things. Has anyone seen those really cute little bottles of 3x concentrated laundry detergent? WAY CUTE! They're all fat and short, like me...I always buy them! and they're probably a totaly rip- off!....ooohh well...

7. I act like I'm a vegetarian sometimes, when, in reality, steak is probably my all time favorite food! eek! medium rare....mmmmmmmmmmmm delicious.

8. My newest favorite movie is So I Married An Axe Murderer....hilarious....rent it!
HEAD! Move! I'm not jokin, that kid's head's like Sputnik! Aww...Now he's going to go cry himself to sleep on his GARGANTUAN pillow!

Welp. there's 8....i'm just not interesting enough to go all the way to 12 yet....maybe i'll leave you hanging in suspense over what those CRAZY three might be.......

HEAD! PANTS! NOW!...I'm serious, that head is gargantuan!

IF you haven't seen "So I Married An Axe Murderer", do it. Now. Get up off of this computer and rent it. It is the funniest movie ever and should be seen by everyone who calls themselves a citizen of the United States of America.

So, a rather uneventful day off. I did have a thought worth documenting, though.

Today, as I was laying by our pool, getting a little sun, talking on the phone, I was looking around me at all of these kids (probably older than me by a few years) I wondered what their parents would think if they saw them like this. Living like this. Being immature and not out there in the world reaching their potential.
It made me proud of my parents. I have learned a lot being out in the "world". The world being the bubble of Idaho/ Utah. I'm glad I was able to grow up outside of this environment and I think I will want to raise my children outside of here as well.

That was one thought.

I can't wait to be an adult. To have a house and go on vacation with my family and Nutella's family and my neices and nephews. Mom, don't kill me for saying this! Its just a nice thought to know what i have ahead of me!

I know one thing I loved the most about our family was the vacation to Disneyworld. It was always memorable and surprisingly enough....I NEVER get tired of the most magical place on earth!

We think we might write a book on our little tricks that we've aquired over the years. We are pretty much pros at the D- World business. It makes me laugh when I hear people talking about going there and sleeping in, lounging by the pool, hitting a few rides...

OUR trip consists of HARDCORE walking...I'm talking, hard...like you had better have good shoes with you because there, your feet are gold. We start at one side of a park and with care and STRATEGIC planning, we hit everything. When FastPasses are possible, we, even more strategically, have to plan how to get somewhere else and back in time for the FastPass use. WHEW! You get tired, fast. BUT, not a minute is wasted.Sleeping in? Ha!...in your VERY SHORT dreams!

We are masters...and we still keep learning cool little tricks every year!

So this was a random post...hm...BUT FUN!!
Let me know, people, if there's anything ya'll want me to write about!!

XXOO

Christmas in May...?....!

As usual, my day wasn't AWESOME! Its totally cool though. I worked. I made money. Always a cure for the blues. Then, came home, ate some food with a good friend, and....CHECKED THE MAIL.
and guess what i found there?
MAIL!
The whole process is jsut amazing isn't? To order something off of a machine and send it across the country, to write a card and it gets in a different part of the world just in the time it takes you to sleep! I love it! Go U.S. Postal Service! You complete me! Anyway....focus....so my WHOLE family sends me stuff when I'm having a rough time out here in College Town, Utah! It was like Christmas or my birthday or some other holiday designed to inflate prices and dominate your week with tempting sales. It was Great!
So to my family! (the only ones that read this..)THANK YOU! YOU LOVE ME!
I love it when people love me...especially my family.
Isn't it great that we're eternal? FOR EV ER. haha...potentially awkward if either one of you were to leave this life on a bad note, huh? Yes, well, anyways...I love my family, even though they are thousands of miles away....I feel the love
I FEEL THE LOVE!

Have a gorgeous day everyone!

Oh the life I lead....

I've come to the realization that if you have to do something - an awful, horrible job - forcing yourself to be happy about it will inevitably make it a more pleasant work! Its amazing isn't it?

I remember once, during school, I hadn't had the BEST night of my life, i was very stressed out about school, and it was snowy and cold outside, SO needless to say I was kind of unhappy. Well, the next morning I woke up and I knew that the day was going to be horrible....but instead, I tried to do everything that i could think of to make it a better day. I started with a prayer, scriptures, and writing in my journal. When I was writing in my journal I wrote in huge letters, " I WILL HAVE A GOOD DAY. TODAY WILL BE A GREAT DAY."

And you know what happened? It pretty much was. Some days are good, and you might remember a little random event that made it special....but everything about this day was great! The sun wasn't shining, it was a freezing cold Idaho day, I had homework coming out of my ears, BUT there was a beautiful sunset - i felt like that was just for me. Heavenly Father heard my prayers and knew it would help me. Isn't that a good story? Rather "Ensign" worthy if i do say so.

On a different note....i work in a jewelry store. Thats all i do all day! Sell people diamonds as big as their face that is WAY too expensive, their husbands are going to kill them when they know they just put that on the Visa...., and its exactly what they DO not need! Its crazy....so i have decided, to the eternal happiness of my FUTURE husband...i don't like diamonds. I don't really like jewelry at all, to be honest. I feel this is a good move on the part of my sub conscious, as it will bless me in the future to be free of debt even addiction to these expensive rocks. So, future husband, extra points for me...!

Tis Done

Well, here i am! After reading my mom's blog everyday, and wishing my sister would post something once in a YEAR...i've started my own! now, we can have a little family tree going. FUN!

Being out here on my own, finally, is everything i always wanted, i guess. The rent, the groceries, the gas prices....i'm finally in the real world! and ya know what? so far, it pretty much sucks! haha...but i'm learning a lot and growing stronger everyday. Thanks to my family, i know i always have someone.
