one less

don't you hate it when you forget to put down one of those toilet seat covers when you go to the bathroom at work/in public?

and you're like "great. now i'm going to get an std. i should have gotten that gardasil shot when they offered it to me at the doctor."

or is that just me?

lykke li

i can't get enough of this song.

the video is a little odd but the song is pretty much amazing.

Lykke Li - I'm Good, I'm Gone from Lykke Li on Vimeo.

you can also listen to it here.

i'm also really liking adele's new song, rolling in the deep. girl can sing.

remember when...

...it was warm outside and we had bushels of fun at the utah state fair???

...and that was like six months ago and i took about a billion pictures and just never got around to posting them?

...and we waited for and ate corndogs?

...and andie made a phone call?

...and we weren't any of the lucky people that won prizes?

...and we rode the ferris wheel?

...and charlotte and brad took their engagement picture?

...and andrea and brad took their engagement picture too?

...and charlotte ate this entire elephant ear all by herself?

just kidding, we helped. kind of.

note the crazy on the right...

yeah... that was fun.

the romantics

this movie is terrible. just terrible.

as of late

so i may have recently spent some time here...

doing a little bit of this...

and this...

and i just might be a bronze goddess right now.

*and thank you for all the awesome book recommendations! i ended up not reading anything because someone hogged the kindle the entire time... but now i have a list of must reads. thank you, thank you!

quick!

i need a good book to read asap!

to the few of you that are still reading this blog:

if you were going on a bit of a sunny vacation what book would you bring with you?

what's your favorite book?

what book do think paige would like?

in case this helps, my favorite books are probably:

the secret life of bees

the help

to kill a mockingbird

the historian

i like mostly upbeat books that will make me laugh, smile and maybe cry (but not because they are depressing). and i apparently really like books that take place in the south and dabble in the civil rights movement...

please help me.

i kind of miss my unemployment days.

this time last year my days consisted of waking up whenever, applying for jobs (don't miss that part), feeling overwhelmed and poor (that part either), and watching eight episodes of LOST everyday. doesn't that just sound glorious?

at the time i kind of hated that i couldn't go anywhere or do anything because i didn't have any money but who really wants to leave their apartment and go anywhere and do anything when it is this cold outside?

i know i don't.

i am so grateful that i have a good job and that i can go places and do things but lately i have been feeling really nostalgic for when i just did pretty much nothing.

sometimes (a lot of times actually) i just like doing nothing, you know?

also, i came across a video the other day about Jesus played by desmond! i love desmond! and i always said he looked like Jesus... i actually think that might be what started all this... i need to watch some LOST. asap.

my strong distaste for utah winters.

this is the weather in colorado:

60 degrees... are you kidding me?

now look at provo's weather:

misery... every. single. day.

yay or nay?

my mom forced me to wear lipstick when i was getting ready for my junior prom. as soon as i was in the car i rubbed that lipstick off as fast as i could and slapped on my one true love: chapstick.

i've just never really felt like a lipstick kind of girl. and then i stumbled upon this little blog and i just don't know anymore (oh and also, can we just add this precious little blog to the list of blogs that make me want to die?). i mean should i just stop wearing all this makeup and only do blush, lipstick and mascara? seriously though... red is always classic and cute and the hot pink. oh my goodness, the hot pink! i am in love.

thoughts?

oh hey!

well hello old friend.

sorry for neglecting you. i have a computer now so maybe i will post more often. but i haven't quite decided yet. don't worry though, i still love you.

and ps happy birthday in two days just pudge!
