Today I Made Stuff...

Today after work, I had the sudden urge to make a pillowcase for my mission. So I grabbed some scrap fabric, my old pillowcase and headed to the sewing machine. A fewish minutes later ( more like 30).......                 Wallah!



word



believe it



Then my dad said I should make dinner for my mom...so I headed to Macey's, bought some supplies, and came home and made this masterpiece.

This dinner consisted of mashed yams with butter, sour cream, brown sugar, and milk, green beans with butter and salt, and chicken breast seasoned with fresh garlic, mrs. dash, celery seed, and lemon juice cooked on our good friend The George Forman. Delish and Nutrish!

Well now I am done creating for the day, so I am going to sit and watch my mom make my mission skirts and pretend to help her-since pillowcases are about the extent of my sewing capabilities. 

Here's to making stuff!

What-A-Weekend!

I went up to Sexy Rexy to visit my homies before I leave on my mish. I stayed with Aubrey, Emily, Breanna, Miriam, and Vanessa...oh and their other roommates...I don't really remember their names...Anyway we had such a blastola of a time eating, bonfiring, templeing, more eating, movie watching, napping, churchgoing, and photo taking. I am going to miss all my pals, both old and new. Love you guys. (no homo...)

Me and T'Jae.

A Day in Pictures

October 11, 2011 around the world in pictures that I found and love...

And now some photos from my day...although they are not quite as fabulous as a 4 day old turtle or a beautiful Indian girl...

I ate a very nutritious lunch from my Yoda lunch box. 

I said goodbye to my favorite buddy Stokely whose family is moving to Kentucky. :(

Saying goodbye to Saylor, Stokely's sister.


Hope your day was just plain spiffy! 

I Love to See the Temple

Last night my fam and I did a session at the Bountiful Temple. It was real awesome. That temple sure is a beaut. For dinner we went to Nielsen's Frozen Custard. Mom and I had "The Finer Things" sandwich with turkey and avocados. Soooooo delicious. Then we had some custard. I had chocolate and Mom and Lindsey had pumpkin. Dad rocked his usual lemon. It was a great evening!

A Drive

After work today I decided to go for a drive around Tooele county and snap some shots to clear my head. Apparently the weather decided to skip fall and go straight into winter because today we had snow. Yep, you know them; the white flurries that usually make an appearance mid-Nov came a falling down today, creating a gorgeous mountain scene if I do say so myself. Oh winter how I will miss you as I am in the Philippines. I guess I should start getting my fill of warm coats and hot chocolate.

Don't you hate it when you wake up at 5 in the morning, drag yourself into the bathroom to get ready for work and find a spider on the wall, and you look away for 2.5 seconds and then somehow it's mysteriously gone!? Yeah that happened to me today. Also don't you hate it when you're late to work, and not in the mood to work, and you're hungry and tired, and you have a massive canker sore on your cheek from where it was attacked by your toothbrush, and yet somehow you struggle past the pain to down three donuts that you don't really need to eat because they're going to end up on both hips and add to some back fat. Yeah that also happened to me today. Oh and don't you also hate it when there is an avalanche of lettuce that ends up on the floor of the produce department and all 399 Macey's "guests" walking around somehow seem to not notice, and then, oh LIGHTBULB there's lettuce on the floor, and then they all simultaneously shout at me across the department, "Excuse me, this lettuce fell." "Oh really> why don't you freaking pick it up!?"  Man that totally sucks. And you know what else sucks? Stepping out of the shower to realize you just washed your hair with 2 different types of shampoo which leads you to have to finish the conditioner process in the bathroom sink. Holy cow sometimes I just wish I were an Oscar Meyer wiener. That way everyone would be in love with me. But you want to know what makes this day of suckage just all fade away??? Cozying up in my big bed and opening these bad boys.  The word of the Lord wipes away all grief. Amen.

Scenes From a Rainy Day

I woke up this morning to a glorious rainstorm. I snapped a few shots, and just in time too because just as in Tooele fashion, the rainstorm lasted all of 29 seconds. Cue the sun.
