warning: the following post is kind of/very shallow.

what do you notice when you look at these pictures (other than my awkward face in the first one)?

i am stinking pale right now. the first two pictures are from the end of this past summer and i am quite tan (especially for me), one might even say that i am a bronze goddess. and the last picture was taken just a few weeks ago.

don't get me wrong, i embrace that i am a fair caucasian and that pastey is my natural skin color. that's all well and good, but you know what? i really like summer and i like being tan, i feel healthier, more attractive and have a lot more fun. i have realized that i am not a fall/winter/spring person...i am a summer person. i hate being cold, i don't like snow, my skin hates me in the winter and i thought i loved wearing sweaters, but they are itchy and aren't quite doing it for me this year.

to remedy this situation i have decided to move to california. i just have to find a job and make loads of money first.

that shouldn't be too difficult, right?

in a moment of weakness

i started a twitter page.

so the one person that stalks this blog can now stalk me on twitter too.

who da manny?

one of my many favorite manny quotes:

"i gave her my heart and she gave me an old time picture of me as a sheriff." from the pilot, which may have been the funniest episode.

though all of them are quite hilarious so it is a little hard to decide which one really is the funniest.

don't forget to watch the new episode tomorrow night at 8:00 on abc.

well, here i am.

i am back in provo after a whole lot of laying around, eating candy, laughing, and avoiding reality for the past two weeks.

i am done with college - yes, grades are out, it's official (i know you were worried, i was a little worried too). i can no longer retain my oh-so-cushy job on campus as a result of this finishing of college...so i am jobless. and if you know pudge at all, no job = no money because who has savings accounts these days? a lot of people you say? oh...well this is awkward.

so...what do i do now?

peanut butter and jam

am i the last one to realize that the initials of peter bjorn and john are pb&j?

oh, and happy new year!

i don't even like animals but...

how could you resist this precious little face?

or this one?

if i can't share my life with a man, i am going to share it with a dog.

specifically this dog. and we will take professional studio portraits.

much like rob & big did here.

p.s. how do you feel about just the regular old "minima" template versus the "minima stretch" template i had previously? i feel like the current, regular minima makes just pudge look a bit more precious but i just can't decide. and while we're at it, my header needs help and i need your suggestions.

pretty

how cute is this wrap sweater? i am totally going to do this if i ever get married. genius.

i am convinced that this is one of the cutest weddings i have ever seen. just look at the groom's tie. perfection. you can see more photos from the wedding here.

so i saw avatar today

fern gully + dances with wolves + pocahontas + lord of the rings + last samurai + the twilight series = avatar.

it wasn't really my genre of movie, but i can still appreciate the awesome-ness of it and how incredible it is, etc. watching it in 3D was a little annoying at first, but it did add to the experience.

all and all i liked it.

but do you want to know what really made the movie worth while?

mr. sam worthington

this picture doesn't even do him justice. he pulled off buzzed hair, slightly longer wavy messy hair, clean shaven, scruffy, full out beard...not very many men can do that. i mean...he even made that avatar in the background start to look attractive. you honestly should see it just so you can experience how incredibly good looking he is. you really won't regret it. i promise.

oh sam.

merry christmas!

slumber party

so last night my two oldest nieces, london (9) and rheagan (6), slept in my room with me on the floor. i did offer to let them sleep in my bed with me but seeing as i am under the weather they did not want to. so no, i did not force them to sleep on the floor, i am a nice aunt.

london needed a pillow, so i threw one at her and happened to hit her right in the face. rheagan and i started laughing hysterically because it really was quite funny. then while we were laying in bed the following conversation occurred.

me: remember when i threw that pillow at london's face?

london: uuhhh...that just happened...why would you say that.

london attacking me with her pillow.

rheagan (to london): i better not feel your feet touching me tonight.

london: you won't, i'm wearing socks.

rheagan: well i better not feel you cuddling me tonight either.

laughter ensues and more attacking me with pillows.

london: we should put this on youtube.

me: what's that red mark on london's face?

london: not my face! not my new face!

me: your new face? you're nine years old, what's your old face...?

rheagan (to london): just go get your stinkin DS

london taking a little bit to give it to her...

rheagan: you're killing me right now.

i love my family. i swear there aren't any cuter or funnier kids than the ones in my family.
