new obsession

last september, my sister shea told me that i needed to read the twilight series because she was obsessed with it and thinks it is amazing, etc. so last week i decided it was time to read it because one of my goals this summer is to read more books. i read twilight in 3 days, i have never in my life read a book in three days--i'm not a big reader, especially for leisure. i am now reading the second book and i can't stop, i am obsessed. is it awkward that i am entranced by a book about a 17 year old that is in love with a vampire? maybe. i just love that edward and i have found my self fantasizing about having a vampire for a boyfriend. all day when i'm at work i just want to go home so i can read, these books have consumed my life. oh my, this is so absurd.

also, i haven't had a chance to write anything about the office finale...so good! i was a little disappointed that andy ruined jim's litte plan, but at the same time i thought it would have been a little lame for jim to propose to pam at an office party. the whole episode was hilarious. this new holly character is probably the best thing to ever happen to michael since they are the same person. my favorite part was when holly was talking to kevin and he said "i do the numbers." genius. it really made up for the past few episodes which were good, but not quite as good as we are accustomed to.

it's official...

...i'm an adult. i turned 21 last week (on the 14th) and it was a really good birthday. i went home to colorado for the week to celebrate my birthday, and mother's day too. on the big day my lovely sister shea highlighted my hair and then my mama made a delicious dinner and dessert. my mom, dad, brother (nash), and my sister's (shea) family came over for the festivities.

chicken piccata is my all time favorite, i've had it for my birthday dinner the last three years.








blowin out the candles, so attractive. this pie will seriously change your life.

celebratin with my peeps

last night i was back in provo, so to celebrate my birthday we went to the pool, out to dinner at red robin (for the delicious chocolate cake they give you on your birthday) and to the drive-in. it was such a fun day and i want to say thank you to everyone for making this an awesome birthday!

M.I.A.

changing things up

spring is a time for change and since i am not taking classes right now and just working, i have had some time to do the things that i have been wanting to do but didn't have time to do during the semester. i was sick of all the pictures on the wall behind my desk, so i decided to get some cool paper and put it up on the wall for a nice, clean background. the pictures were just too overwhelming and i hate to admit it, but a little juvenile. i also moved my printer under my desk to create more space (my roommate lindsey suggested i move it). i am pretty pleased with the transformation.

sweet release

I AM FINALLY DONE WITH FINALS! my life is care free for the next four months...glorious. my plans for this summer include getting tan (graduating from pasty to pale), working at shade, trips home to colorado, having a lemonade stand, driving the pch (pacific coast highway), picnics up provo canyon, sewing dresses, re-decorating my apartment, eating strawberries and cream pie for every meal, hanging out with the milnes, eating crepes on my balcony with sarah while listening to french music, refining my photography skills, and the list goes on. it's pretty much going to be the most precious/greatest summer ever.

i have been so busy with finals and such that i haven't been able to write about last week's episode of the office. JIM IS GOING TO PROPOSE TO PAM???!!!!! and not to me? oh, if only life were that perfect. anywho, i can't believe it. i'm not gonna lie, i almost fell for his little fake-out on the sidewalk. i sat there in the fetal position and screamed at least twice--wow, that sounds quite pathetic. oh jim, why must you have this effect over me?

to ramble on even more, i watched the movie lars and the real girl, i am still not quite sure what to make of it. i also saw the movie nancy drew. can i just say that emma roberts is precious? she is too cute. the movie made me wish i dressed in 50s clothes, had a precious boyfriend named ned, drove a cute little roadster and went around sleuthing, all at the age of 16. oh to be a teenager again. lindsey and i thought it was so good we watched it two nights in a row. we are so cool.

a little jackson pollock anyone?

for our humanities class, sarah and i had to make jackson pollock-esque paintings. we decided to get colors that would match our apartment so we could display them after we turned them in. this is what we came up with, we were pretty pleased. mine is on the left and sarah's is on the right.

back in business

well, the office came back on thursday. i loved it. i have really felt a void in my life without any new episodes over the past few months and my roommates and i have been watching the past seasons' episodes over and over--luckily they never get old. anywho, the new episode was hilarious and filled with awkward moments and as usual, i felt bad for michael the entire time. now i know what i'm doing every thursday night for the next little while.

good clean fun

i saw the movie be kind rewind this weekend and it was HILARIOUS. there were points in the movie i laughed so hard, i cried. not only was it funny, but it was also a clean, feel good movie. it was in our dollar theater, so you better go see it before it goes out of theaters...i highly recommend it!

flashback to my childhood

my friend jason bet me i couldn't sit in this box for 10 minutes and i foolishly said i could. he then tortured me for 10 minutes straight...pretty much the most terrifying experience of my life.
