say this in a southern accent like so...

"youuuu are a twooo eight (pause) one (pause) seven."

it helps to whisper "seven" and you can add things like "and you always will be." or "and i hate you."

say it a few times and you will have enough laughs to get you through an entire thomas family reunion and then some. remember, the southern accent is key.

counting

just one more day until...

click here to see the trailer. can't wait.

on the beat

this is completely unrelated to the following post, but pandora just mixed aly & aj into my music...awkward.

if you have not had the opportunity to read the daily universe today, you are missing out. the daily universe is usually pretty boring in the summer, but not today.

highlight of the reader's forum...a byu student is gay. who would have thought it was possible? pretty sure i did and anyone else that has ever step foot on campus. i gotta give props to someone who isn't afraid to come out at byu.

oh police beat, how i love you...

jul 3: officers responded to a suspicious person at the bookstore upset about the deodorant selection. the person picked up a stick of deodorant, kicked it across the floor, then paid for the deodorant and left.

this night

top five reasons why i love this night:

1. the view from brooke's deck

2. peaches + milk + sugar = delicious perfection

3. i just did a hardcore workout courtesy of exercise tv on hulu

4. i am sitting outside at night and don't feel the least bit chilly

5. i get to read more of my new favorite book, the historian

i really could go on...apparently my favorite thing about summer is the summer nights, what's yours?

steal

we all know that i can't pass up a bargain and kind of have a shopping addiction. well, with that said...i got an amazing deal yesterday. right now at shade they are having a little sale. i have had my eye on the scoop neck 3/4 in jade ever since it came out this spring but have just been waiting for it to go on sale. yesterday while i was at my internship (which coincidentally is at shade) i was perusing the website and saw that this little number is on sale for $4.99. since i can't pass up a deal i walked on over to the other side of the warehouse and purchased it. apparently there is an additional discount going on for everyone and it ended up being only $3.71. can you believe it? i think i'm going to need the white one now too. i can't wait to wear it with a pencil skirt...precious.

it's monday...

...and we all want to die, right? it was especially difficult for me to get up this morning and i imagine it was for you too, as it is on most mondays.

but guess what. friday is the 3rd of july which means that i don't have to work (and i'm assuming you don't either) that day, this is a four day week and you know what else it means??? the next day is the 4th of july which is the day we celebrate our nations independence! and how do we celebrate it? with parades, picnics, barbecues and best of all - fireworks. i don't know about you, but all those things are making this monday morning look a little better because of all the gloriousness we have to look forward to.

and here's another reason to be happy today...
this is pudge's 100th post!

so sit back, light up (or don't, actually please don't) and enjoy your monday now that you have all these reasons to celebrate.

yes indeedy

i don't know if you've listened to the lyrics in any of lady gaga's songs...but she is just such a classy classy lady. especially in her "love game" song where she talks about her special education and a disco stick.

so, way to go lady gaga. please keep impressing us with your ladylikeness. i know i really appreciate the way you represent ladies everywhere.


***thank you holly for the picture, it's priceless.

dear jim halpert,

it is no secret that i love you and the office. but i need to tell you that i have been having an affair with arrested development.

i don't know what happened...i was on hulu one day and next thing i knew i had queued all of season one. i started watching it late at night and i really really liked it. to be fair, i did watch arrested development before you came along, but then you stole me away and the show got cancelled. it is pretty hard to resist - the writing is incredibly clever, michael cera is just so precious, and i am kind of developing crushes on jason bateman and will arnett. i hate to admit it, but i'm gonna have to agree with alex beazer...arrested development is funnier than the office. there, i said it.

i still love you with all my heart, but your writers just really didn't cut it this season. i am sorry, but unless some big changes are made i think the office has one more season left, two tops.

jim, regardless of what happens with your show, you will still be my ideal and i will love you forever.

love,

paige

clumsy

remember in high school how you were always afraid of falling on the stairs? especially those stairs in the common area where people were always standing?

i was walking up the cement stairs by the bell tower on campus today and totally ate it. i didn't just trip, i was literally on the ground, in pain. the girl that was behind me was like, "whoa! are you okay?" the alarm in her "whoa!" didn't really help the situation. i just laughed awkwardly and said that i was fine. it was like high school all over again and i felt retarded just like i often did in high school. one time i was walking down the stairs during my senior year and missed a step causing me to land right on my knees. fortunately for me this was during passing period and one of my friends saw me and yelled, "oh my gosh, that is so embarrassing!" i promptly stood up and said "it's cool, nothing to see."

so everyone, in case you were wondering, i am just as awkward today as i was in high school.

don't you wish you could hang out with this preciousness everyday?

i spent a few days in provo last week and when i came home afton asked me what i did while i was at my apartment and i just said that i worked and hung out with my friends.  then she said, "well i sure missed ya."

after our morning workout on saturday, afton informed me that i smell like roll-up pancakes. then grayson had to smell me to confirm and said, "oh, you do smell like roll-up pancakes." they're probably right, i do love those crepes - especially with the strawberry jam i made at enrichment last week.  delicious.
