the world lost a really great person last saturday. over the years i have posted a lot about the love that i have for paul walker (you can read those posts <a href="http://justpudge.blogspot.com/search/label/my%20paul" target="_blank">here</a> if you want). i have just always been so attracted to him because, i mean, look at him. he's perfection. but it wasn't only about his incredible good looks. he has just always seemed like such a nice, down to earth, humble guy and i really admire that about him. he was beautiful inside and out.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
i might (/definitely do) have a couple pictures of paul at my desk at work so most of my co-workers know about my love for him. the monday before thanksgiving (5 days before he passed away) my co-worker had people around the office write down what they were thankful for and then she took a picture of us with it and posted it on the <a href="http://blogs.ultradent.com/2013/11/heres-what-a-few-of-us-at-ultradent-are-grateful-for/" target="_blank">ultradent blog</a>. if you can find me in there you will see that i said i was thankful for paul walker, which i genuinely am. well today they made a card with a photoshopped picture of paul and me and then had everyone sign it. see picture below.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
when they gave it to me, i just thought "this is awesome, we look so good together! i knew it!" i didn't realize it was a card so when they told me to open it and i saw that all my co-workers had signed it, i started to sob. like crying so hard with tears running down my face in front of my co-workers. i could still cry right now thinking about it. but isn't that just the nicest and funniest thing ever? it just melted my heart.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
i know it's silly that i have this crush and that he means so much to me but i have had countless people tell me how sorry they are for my loss. i know that it is partially to joke with me but i still really have felt loved nonetheless. i just feel really lucky to have so many friends and people that care about me. so thank you for your condolences, they mean a lot to me. it takes away a little bit of the sting of losing the love of my life. </div>

well paul, as much as i don't want to believe it, i guess this is goodbye for now. just know that you will always have my heart and i will love you forever.</div>

<br />
this is part two! after my family left, stacy and mickelle joined me for a new york adventure. eryn and greg were very nice and let us stay with them at their apartment in astoria (queens). stacy got in tuesday night and mickelle arrived wednesday morning.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">wednesday, september 11th</span><br />
on wednesday we headed out to tobay beach in long island. we picked up shake shack and then ate it on the beach while trying to protect ourselves from the seagulls. unfortunately one of the seagulls side swiped my head with it's wing. fortunately it didn't steal my burger and it was hilarious.<br />

after the beach we went into manhattan for pizza and then walked the high line.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">thursday, september 12th</span><br />
we started the day off with bagels from brooklyn bagel in astoria - i love that place. all their cream cheeses are made fresh and have fruits and vegetables mixed into them, so good! it was supposed to rain that day so we decided to go to the met. here is a little artwork sampling.<br />

the top of the met.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
so as you can see in the top of the met picture, there were beautiful, sunny (yet hot and huuuumid) skies. sure didn't look like rain! and it sure didn't rain while we were in the met!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
since we were next to central park we thought we'd wander around in there. well, about 15 minutes after we left the met and were standing by this pond the rain came. it was so crazy seeing it move across the water toward us. everyone screamed and ran for cover and just got soaked. like so bad. and the rain lasted for what felt like forever. </div>

after eating at sweet green we sat in some chairs and gazed at the flatiron building. we met the most precious older gentleman that was doing the same. he said that he lives alone but you can never be lonely in new york city. super adorable.<br />

we met eryn for dinner at this vietnamese place in long island city (queens) that was so delicious. seriously. the pork spring rolls were like heaven. we were all saying that we should have just had spring rolls for our entrees. not that our entrees were bad, the spring rolls were just mind blowing. if you are ever around there, i highly suggest going to <a href="http://www.cyclolic.com/" target="_blank">cyclo</a>.<br />

saturday was brooklyn day. first we went to smorgasburg (2nd time for me) and didn't see adam brody, which i am not gonna lie, was disappointing. smorgasburg is in williamsburg and is basically right on the water. it was breezy and freezing by the water, but we powered through (with a good dose of complaining) and stuffed our faces nonetheless.<br />

after smorgasburg we went to the <a href="http://www.artistsandfleas.com/" target="_blank">artists and fleas</a> that was just up the street and away from the cold breeze. i thought it was much cooler than the brooklyn flea, the stuff just seems more unique. it was smaller too. we all got some really cool t-shirts that a guy was selling there and some adorable tiny rings.</div>

so apparently the trains don't run as well on saturdays from brooklyn to queens and it took us 2.5 hours to get back to eryn's because the trains kept just stopping and telling us to get off. at one point we had to walk a mile in a super sketchy neighborhood and it was slightly terrifying.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">saturday, september 7th</span><br />
on saturday we spent some time in brooklyn - we went to the brooklyn flea and smorgasburg. the brooklyn flea is cool, but i felt like there wasn't really anything different from the last time i went two years ago. we saw <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0607865/?ref_=sr_1" target="_blank">emily mortimer</a> there with her family so that was neat.<br />
<br />
on our way to smorgasburg we saw this sky writing, it says "time to shine" and some other stuff that i couldn't read.<br />

smorgasburg is a gathering of food vendors in williamsburg and all the food is really great. while we were standing in line, adam brody walked by us and all i got was a picture of the back of his head. i had just finished re-watching all the seasons of the oc so this was a real special sighting. on separate occasions we also saw katie holmes (she was meeting a friend at our hotel) and two people from project runway (emilio and fabio).<br />

<br />
later that night we met up with two of my all time favorite people, my cousin mckenzi and her husband matt, for dinner at <a href="http://lanternthai.com/" target="_blank">lantern</a>. it was real good. then all us girls made my dad and matt see the movie, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1985019/" target="_blank">austenland</a> with us, i think they secretly enjoyed it. if you haven't seen austenland yet, i recommend it. it was funny!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">sunday, september 8th</span><br />
sunday morning we went to church with mckenzi and matt and then went to a few stores on/around 5th ave - free people, joe fresh, and anthropology. then we made our way over to brooklyn to meet eryn and greg for brunch.<br />

on monday we shopped pretty much all day until my parents and brooke flew out in the afternoon. before eryn and i headed out to her apartment in astoria we stopped by the farmer's market in union square to pick up some cucumbers for pickling as well as some corn and heirloom tomatoes for the delicious caprese salad that eryn made that night.</div>

<br />
do you know how old i am going to be on my birthday this year? <br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">26</span></strong></div>
<br />
what happened to 25? where did that one go? how am i already in the second half of my twenties?<br />
<br />
26 kind of sounds like the edge of becoming old for a single girl to me. but maybe that's "prime" single girl time to some people. <br />
<br />
26 sounds like you probably shouldn't be living in a state that you hate 6 months out of the year. <br />
<br />
26 sounds like you should be working in a job that you are passionate or at least care about.<br />
<br />
26 sounds like you should have your life together. <br />
<br />
i mean, 26 is the oldest you can be to get the gardasil shots. every time i go to the doctor and they offer it to me i think "i don't really need that and i've got til i'm 26 to think about it." well guess what pudge. you're running out of time and now you're probably going to get cancer because you're afraid of getting a shot (three times) that "feels like peanut butter being injected into your arm." but doesn't that sound terrible? i really do actually think about this a lot. <span style="font-size: x-small;">(and just to ease your worries, i am not concerned about this because of promiscuity because i'm not. you just never know.)</span><br />
<br />
on a more positive note, i just googled 26 and found <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/26_(number)" target="_blank">this on wikipedia</a>: The Greek Strongs number G26 is "<i>Agape</i>" which means "<i>Love</i>"<br />
<br />
i don't know what that means but maybe it means that 26 is going to be the year of love for pudge. and i think that sounds quite nice.<br />
<br />
well, let's see what you've got 26. <span style="font-size: x-small;">(please be good to me.)</span>paigehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17445905616061363366noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417237859113034211.post-296663950663326632013-01-29T21:00:00.000-07:002013-01-30T16:25:40.244-07:00luscious<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
i'm fairly certain that all i've ever wanted in this life is to have luscious hair. and i think i may have figured it out. keep reading if you want to hear my secrets. <span style="font-size: x-small;">(i also have a theory that these aren't really secrets and that everyone else probably knows about this.)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
my theory is that having pretty hair comes from a combination of 3 things: regular trims, product, and process.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">#1: regular trims</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
i used to only get my hair cut when i would go home to colorado, like very six months. yikes! in my defense, i was a poor college student and my sister, shea, would do my hair for a really great price (free), the only catch was that we didn't live in the same state so i went far too long between cuts. once i had a job and felt like i could afford it, i started paying to get my hair cut on a more regular basis. i found a hairstylist that i like (siara @ shep studio in provo) and decided to get my hair trimmed every two months. i have long hair so i can go a bit longer between cuts. since i am getting my hair trimmed regularly, the ends don't get as bad and siara just gives me baby trims (she knows how attached i am to my long hair). i leave the salon happy, with long luscious hair.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">#2: product</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
since i have always had access to professional products, i'm kind of a product snob. especially when it comes to shampoo and conditioner. i also color my hair and have a hard time retaining color so i only use certain shampoos and conditioners. up until a couple months ago i was using <a href="http://www.enjoyhaircare.com/" target="_blank">enjoy</a> volume shampoo and conditioner and it worked quite nicely. when i went home for thanksgiving shea suggested i try the guy that created pureology's new line, <a href="http://colorproof.com/" target="_blank">color proof</a>. </div>

can i just tell you how amazing this shampoo and conditioner is? i use the <a href="http://www.colorproof.com/hair-care-our-products/volume-system" target="_blank">volumizing line</a> and it is seriously awesome and very conditioning - even the shampoo makes my hair feel soft without feeling weighed down. my color looks great and i also feel like it is enhancing the shine. i also use a deep conditioner once a week to help strengthen and repair my hair. i'm still using <a href="http://www.enjoyhaircare.com/product/hair-mask#.UQiMokp2G64" target="_blank">enjoy's hair mask</a>. i have tried using the brands they sell at the grocery store and they all left my hair with tons of static, faded color, and super dry ends. yuck!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
up until the past year or so, i didn't really use any styling product in my hair besides a tiny bit of argan oil after styling and occasionally some hairspray. whoops! apparently it's important to protect your hair! every time i left siara's chair i felt like my hair just looked so awesome and i just wanted my hair to always look that awesome. so i studied what she did to style it and tried to replicate it at home. my hair improved, but i was still having to straighten my hair all the time and it just didn't look as great as when she did it. it occurred to me that maybe the product she used in my hair had something to do with the results so i took the plunge and bought them. and boy did they make a difference.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilXIuF24lFCCKHvB6m0w1qJOzKmKAh6yBRrLcZGLYy_rpDgQha7ugJeIuhn4xSGjPiBcwdReA9QkHMZ3Kt_LyjkicHiGok5Y21miCTbfb3OYwonlkk34-Zh_FR0Fs_sLBw91f4THezTAs/s1600/B02C_152x358.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilXIuF24lFCCKHvB6m0w1qJOzKmKAh6yBRrLcZGLYy_rpDgQha7ugJeIuhn4xSGjPiBcwdReA9QkHMZ3Kt_LyjkicHiGok5Y21miCTbfb3OYwonlkk34-Zh_FR0Fs_sLBw91f4THezTAs/s320/B02C_152x358.jpg" width="135" /></a></div>
first, i spray <a href="http://www.bumbleandbumble.com/product/74/215/Products/Styling/Structure/styling-lotion/index.tmpl" target="_blank">bumble and bumble styling lotion</a> all over my hair while it's really wet (right after i get out of the shower). the bottle says to "saturate" so i try to be generous but it's also not cheap so i try to not waste it. then i comb out my hair. a bottle lasts me about 2-3 months, i'm sure it lasts longer if your hair is shorter than mine.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
next i use <a href="http://www.bumbleandbumble.com/product/5861/19664/Products/Straight/straight-blow-dry/index.tmpl" target="_blank">bumble and bumble straight blow dry</a> on the first 5-6 inches of my hair. it is so light that it doesn't make my hair greasy. i use about a dime size amount rubbed between my hands. after that i apply 2 pumps of<a href="http://www.bumbleandbumble.com/product/72/23196/Products/Styling/Specialty/hairdressers-invisible-oil/index.tmpl" target="_blank"> bumble and bumble hairdresser's invisible oil</a> to the bottom 8 inches of my hair. my hair is a little more thirsty in the winter, i didn't need this as much in the summer. sometimes i'll use about 1 pump on my ends after blow drying, but i usually don't need it. both of these products will last me about a year, the oil a little longer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">#3: the process</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
i have really fine, oil prone hair and have to wash my hair everyday. it's kind of lame. but i just can't stand having greasy hair. my hair is also wavy/curly in places and i used to have to straighten my hair everyday. well i am happy to report that i haven't even turned on my straightener since june 4, 2012 (is it weird that i know the date?). isn't that crazy?! i don't need to use it, my hair is straight! here is how. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
after i apply all the products to my hair i blow dry section by section using a brush. i usually use <a href="http://www.spornette.com/deville.html" target="_blank">this paddle brush</a> for straight, everyday hair. if i want a little more volume or curl on my ends, i'll use my round brush (medium size). since the brush isn't too big i can get really close to the roots and they dry straight. i use 100% boar hair brushes for blow drying because they make my hair shiny and there are probably other reasons why they're better but i don't know. i have found that i get the best results when my hair is pretty wet before blow drying - my hair is straighter, has more volume and less frizz. i don't even get flyaways anymore!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
my hair is longer, stronger, smoother, straighter, healthier and just overall better because of all the above. it is kind of expensive and kind of a lot of work (about 15 minutes total) but to me it is totally worth it. i don't think my hair has ever been able to grow this long because it has never been so healthy. i feel like my hair looks good almost everyday, i honestly feel like i have beautiful hair and i've never consistently felt that way before!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
the results speak for themselves!</div>

i resolve in 2013 to be happy.</div>
<br />
i resolve to start exercising to be happy. not to be a certain size or firmness but just to be happy. you know, endorphins and all that.<br />
<br />
i resolve to be more conscientious about the things that i put in my body so that i can be healthy which will in turn make me happy.<br />
<br />
i resolve to put my clothes away after i take them off to be happy. a cluttered house = a cluttered mind. a clean, organized room = happy pudge.<br />
<br />
i resolve to wash my face not just in the morning but at night too so that my face will be soft, beautiful, and happy.<br />
<br />
i resolve to strengthen my relationship with my God which i know for a fact will make me happy.<br />
<br />
i resolve to stand up straight and show the world my happy face. after all my mom did always tell me that no one would want to marry me if i didn't stand up straight. turns out she was right! guess i should have practiced the piano too...<br />
<br />
i resolve to figure out who this pudge person is, what the h she wants, and be happy with her.<br />
<div>
<br />
i resolve to expand my mind and soak in the happiness.<br />
<br />
i resolve to stop sitting around waiting and start making things happen, start living all those dreams and be happy.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
i resolve to not dwell on the negative and focus more on the all the bright, wonderful, happy things in my life.<br />
<br />
i resolve to live in the moment and to live this life with passion and devotion and be happy.<br />
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
i'm in love with my car. isn't she pretty?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
i mean, i even wrote a <a href="http://justpudge.blogspot.com/2012/06/happy-one-year.html" target="_blank">happy anniversary post </a>to it. <i>to my car</i>. if that isn't true love, i don't know what is.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
but you see, my love unfortunately isn't blind and i can see her faults. like the fact that she is at 89,100 miles. like her price tag when it comes to well, everything. like that time i opted not to pay $1,500 to fix her water pump (those aren't important, right?) and then she got mad at me and overheated in the mountains 9 months later. real mature. that $4,000 (yes, three zeros) repair bill was super fun. i totally didn't need all that money it took me all those months to save. but you know, i suppose i kind of brought that one on myself. note to self - fix things in red on the summary sheet at the car shop.<br />
<br />
on that note, i have to get her rear brakes and tires done. if i do that at bmw (which i'm not going to) it will be over $1,000 for both. if i go somewhere else, like $400 for the brakes and i have no idea what tires cost, so maybe like $800 total. when they told me this a few weeks ago i decided it was time to trade her in for a new car.<br />
<br />
so i've been looking at other baby suvs. i haven't test driven that many but every time that i have gotten back into my car at the dealership i just think "man i love my car." i don't need all these fancy new technology things, except bluetooth. i can't hold my phone up to my ear anymore. you just can't come back from that. i just want my car. i love the giant sunroof, the perfect thickness of the steering wheel for my hands, the bluetooth, the heated steering wheel, the instant heated seats, the fake wood whatever stuff on the interior, how speedy and good at accelerating she is. but with at least 40,000 miles less. and with brand new brakes and tires that i didn't have to pay for. is this too much to ask?<br />
<br />
so pretty much, i have an emotional attachment to my car. maybe that makes me ridiculous, but this is just where i'm at right now.paigehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17445905616061363366noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417237859113034211.post-33086933909988476222012-10-07T13:14:00.002-06:002012-10-07T13:15:39.529-06:00my baby jackmy heart just died. have you heard of the dog, pomsky? it's pretty much the cutest dog on the planet. it's a pomeranian/husky and it basically looks like a fluffy husky that stays puppy size forever! look at these pictures, i'm dying.<br />

<br />

<br />

i just think that this bill is hilarious. the minimum plan that you can have at at&t is 450 minutes for like $40 something a month. included in the plan are unlimited mobile to mobile and 5,000 minutes, plus what you don't use of the 450 rolls over every month.<br />
<br />
well THANK GOODNESS for rollover. because i used 12 of my 450 minutes and i certainly don't want to miss out on the 438 minutes that i didn't use this month so that i can have 4,526 minutes next month because i don't know about you, but i am planning on talking on my cell phone nonstop for the next three years.<br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">well, i'm just going to make your day and answer all those questions right now.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1. did paige survive her <a href="http://justpudge.blogspot.com/2012/06/as-i-lay-dying.html">tonsillectomy</a>?</span><br />
i sure did! i really started to come around a corner after that post. i can eat and drink whateva the h i want now and it is glorious.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2. <span style="background-color: white;">how was her 25th birthday? did she get to <a href="http://justpudge.blogspot.com/2012/05/five.html">spend the day with paul walker</a>?</span></span><br />
it was pretty darn good. my birthday fell on a monday this year and i HATE working on mondays. i seriously want to die every monday so i was not about to spend my birthday feeling that way. brooke made me breakfast in bed, i got some awesome presents, went to lunch at cheesecake factory at city creek, shopped, went to spanish fork reservoir, and had costa vida for dinner. here's photographic evidence:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
really the best part is that i got to spend the day with people i love. which unfortunately did not include paul walker. one day paulie, one day.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3. how is paige's summer going?</span><br />
i'd say it's going pretty well. june was a difficult month but july is looking pretty good. for example, the milnes were out of town this weekend and i had some lovely visitors so i cooked some very delicious summer meals and went to seven peaks salt lake. and parked my car in the garage. hollaaa!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">4. is she going to <a href="http://justpudge.blogspot.com/2012/01/moving-on.html">move to california</a>?</span><br />
ehhhhh that's a tricky one. i just get distracted by the summers here, they're just so pleasant. so i have given myself until like august/september to figure out my life. ask me again in a couple months.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">5. <span style="background-color: white;">does she still live in her sister's basement?</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">yes. i've just been livin' the dream for almost 11 months! high five!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">6. </span><span style="background-color: white;">is she looking forward to the summer olympics?</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">no.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">7. has she seen the nordstrom anniversary sale catalog yet? what does she think?</span><br />
yes. i have seen a few items that i am very interested in. i think i just might have to miss work the day that the sale starts. priorities people.<br />

<br />
apparently when you have parts of your throat cut out of you you can't do anything but lay around for at least 10 days. i know this sounds excessive, but it's true. i tried going to work yesterday afternoon (day 9) and it was a bad idea. i was only there for 2.5 hours and i was in a much worse condition when i left than when i arrived. it's weird to me that a tonsillectomy puts you out so much. i am on lortab which is awesome but it kind of makes me high so that kind of limits what i can do. my throat hurts like a mother anytime i swallow and if i talk too much. and my voice sounds weird (this better be temporary). since i can only drink my food and i am not terribly hungry because all i do is lay around, i feel pretty weak and get tired very easily. i have already lost seven pounds. i didn't really want to lose any weight but i mean if i have to, can it at least come off of the places where i carry my weight? like my thighs? it doesn't make sense to me that when i lose weight i lose it in the areas that are already small on me (i.e. chest) making me look even more disproportioned. but i'm sure i'll just gain it back so it's not that big of a deal.<br />
<br />
people told me that getting my tonsils out would be the worst experience of my life. it has been terrible but i feel like i've been through worse. my main issue is that it is taking forever to heal and i just want to eat a freakin steak. i don't feel like that is asking too much.<br />
<br />
i am on day 10 today and i hear that is a real turning point for most people... fingers crossed!<br />
<br />

<a href="http://ladyhawkemusic.com/anxiety/">ladyhawke</a> has a new album that was released a couple weeks ago - <i>anxiety</i>. so far i think i prefer her previous self titled album, it's just a little more upbeat and fun. but i do really like her new song 'black white & blue.' you can listen to it <a href="http://grooveshark.com/s/Black+White+And+Blue/4qS4Pe?src=5">here</a>.<br />
<br />

the one positive about this whole "tonsillectomy thing" is that i haven't worn makeup in 11 days and i can rub my eyes as much as i want!!!<br />
<br />
thought no. 3:<br />
downton abbey. i have been watching it and it's pretty good. i wouldn't say i'm obsessed with it like everyone told me i would be, but maybe they just created too high of expectations? i just started season two (thank you ashley!) so maybe i'll be singing a different tune in a couple episodes.<br />
<br />
thought no. 4:<br />
all i think about is food and all the things i want to eat once i am able to. i have pinned so many recipes on pinterest this week and it's ridiculous. i repinned like everything on my friend, jill's food board. she's got some really appetizing things on there. ps jill, you haven't updated your blog in months and i need something entertaining to read. please update soon, okay?<br />
<br />
thought no. 5:<br />
i am super jealous of all these people that get to go on cool trips. like jenni and her honeymoon in tahiti. really jenni? <span style="font-size: x-small;">(just kidding, i hope you had fun! kind of... :))</span> or all these people that go on studies abroad all across europe or go to places like thailand just for fun. it's cool guys, i'll just use my PTO laying in my bed and not eating for 10 days. way more fun than spending three weeks in hawaii.<br />

<br />
as i sat there and watched the last 20 minutes i thought to myself, "man, i wish the sixth fast and furious movie was out so that <a href="http://justpudge.blogspot.com/2012/02/its-time-for-another-paul-walker-post.html">paul walker</a> and i could spend my birthday together like we did <a href="http://justpudge.blogspot.com/2011/05/i-know-youve-just-been-waiting-to-hear.html">last year</a>."<br />

because i don't know if you know this, but my 25th birthday is in five days.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">FIVE DAYS, PEOPLE!</span></div>
<br />
don't worry, there's still time to get me a present. i even made a board on pinterest to help you in your search, you can view it <a href="http://pinterest.com/pudgethomas/so-my-birthday-is-may-14th/">here</a>. if it isn't obvious, i'd really like a pair of j.crew shorts. i'd also like to add a costco/giant size bag of <a href="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/9/riesenp.jpg/sr=1">riesens</a> to that list. every year i hope that someone will get this for me and no one ever does. so this year i am just going to ask for it.<br />

<br />
so we went to the grocery store and when we were done i was getting everything put away in the car. first, i put bond (13 months) in his car seat and then asked afton (7) to buckle him in. then i went back to the other side of the car to see that grayson (6), who was sitting in the basket of the cart, was rolling away from us down the middle of the parking lot. he was laughing and screaming "help me! help me!" it was just so terrifying and hilarious all at the same time. luckily no one called the cops on me.<br />
<br />
oh, and about an hour later i noticed that my fly was down and i'm pretty sure it had been that way for several hours.<br />
<br />
so... who wants me to watch their kids??? i'm obviously really good at it. especially that whole keeping the kids safe part.paigehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17445905616061363366noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417237859113034211.post-59653722050328060212012-05-03T10:59:00.003-06:002012-05-03T10:59:57.708-06:00questions plaguing the interneti'm happy to hear that these are the most common questions being asked on google.<br />
