This summer, I have found it very hard to blog. I have come to the realization it is because I am not at school. I am most certainly not complaining but high school is crazy enough to write a book. (or fill a blog with many many entries for that matter)
And so on that note, here are random things I did today:


I made an EPIC music video with Mary today. I was a gangsta. Can you even picture that? Here is the link. Enjoy!


It rained today. Scratch that. It POURED! And I was at work. So I got soaked. The end.

I watched He's Just Not That Into You again and I got the book today. I am insanely excited to read it tonight. Are you pulling an all nighter, reading under the covers? Why yes, yes I am.


After eating nearly an entire bag of chex-mix (minus the pretzels) I am now moving onto fat free vanilla ice cream. (I cannot stand ice cream! Gross! It's because of the cream. yuck. So my compromise is the fat free stuff. I can barely taste the creaminess and all is good) There is something about rainy weather that makes me want to curl up on the couch, watch a chick flick, maybe with a box of kleenex, just in case, and eat junk food. check, check, check, check.

I decided to start season 2 of the office today. I am so sad because Jim and Pam aren't together in that season! It is too strange. It's fate that they're together.

I found something I wrote the other day from 2007. All it said was, 'When I grow up, it would be fun to have a pug named Aida.' I had completely fogotten about that! But I still like it. Except I would name it Aida, Juno or Gigi. Isn't that cute? Are you a pug hater? So many people are and I don't know why! They can't help their little squished faces!

How can you say no to this little guy?

And with that, I must say goodbye.
Goodbye.

Feel Good Movie Friday!!!! I am aware that it is Thursday but I am just too dang excited to start the tradition, so here we go!!!


To be quite frank, I feel so completely dumb for posting this post just after I posted an entry on my celebrity crush but sometimes a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. So basically, I just watched He's Just Not That Into You. Wow. LOVE IT-- for so many different reasons.

And ladies and gentleman, here is the list:

1. Not everything works out perfectly in the film. I am not a downer but good intentions end up good and bad intentions end up bad. Karma. Not comeuppance.
2. The movie is intertwined and all nifty. Each character's life knows another character who knows another character... etc. It was brilliantly written and well made if I do say so myself.
   
3. Most importantly, I think every girl can identify with one of the main girls. They're all so completely different that it's hard not to. Here they are:
   

• Anna: guy magnet who learns that is not always a blessing.
• Ben: married. unfaithful. the end.
  
• Beth: she has been in a relationship for 7 YEARS. 7 YEARS!!!! and sue her for wanting to get married. Good glory. Ben Afflek is my favorite by the way.
• Neal: Cannot commit to marriage.
  
• Next is Janine. She is married but her marriage is struggling.
• Mary is a technology expert but that's the only way she ever chats with guys. Never face to face!
• Conor: in love with someone who does not and will not love him back.
  
• Alex: he thinks he's a guy expert and knows everything about flirting and dating.
  
• Last but not least, we have Gigi. She is crazily desperate to find her true love but has simply had no luck whatsoever.
  

Found one you can identify with? I know I have.

Mary, Janine, Beth, Gigi, Anna

So yes. There is the magical list.

If only all men were required to watch that movie, they would understand what us girls have to deal with. Stress, anxiety and an everlasting hope that the guy will call back! I mean, where is the love?! Ummm, no pun intended.

All I'm saying, is that if you are a man or even a woman for that matter... so anyone: you should watch the movie. It will give you a new way to look at things, hopefully for the better. I learned a few things and I hope you do too.

oh! and there is a book too. My sister says that is AMAZING-- if not even better. Can't wait to read it.

Confession.
It's celebrity crush time.
And the winner is.......


TA-DA!!!!

It's John Krasinski, known on TV as Jim Halpert in my all time favorite show, The Office. I hope he never ever finds this because he will think I'm a huge creeper but say for a minute he does read this, let me just make a shout-out.

Dear John Krasinski,
I am not a creeper.
Sincerely,
Your biggest fan

Now that that is settled I am moving on. I have decided that it is A-ok with me if he marries Pam (from The Office) or me. You know what? Emily Blunt can marry him too. They are dating as of now. Isn't that super sweet???



























Now, I do not have a picture with him and therefor, I cannot post one (since I am one of his choices for matrimony) -- and you know? Actually, I think that proves I am most certainly NOT a creeper. So there.

Puppy Duck

I have a dog. Did I mention that? She is huge and lovely.

My Young Women leaders are fantastic and I always love their lessons, but today, I loved it a little more. It was on forgiveness. My teacher referenced the talk, The Healing Power of Forgiveness a lot. Please read it. It's amazing.

Anguish is a sad word.

During the lesson, the song Forgiveness from the musical, Jane Eyre was in my head. I love that song. I really do.

I need to read Jane Eyre. I really do.

Today I went to the dentist. Why is the waiting room so gloomy? I was sitting in there looking around at the worried faces, listening to the occasional drill and thinking about my day when it suddenly occurred to me-- should I be scared of what is about to go down here? It's just a cleaning but my gums ALWAYS bleed. When Dixie the hygienist came in to clean my teeth I told her about my bleeding gums and she responded by saying,
"Well, that's probably because you don't do it enough." touche i guess.
But guess what happened? I bled, I gushed! It hurt.

Oh well though. That was nothing compared to what happened next. She had me swish water around in my mouth and I still do not know what happened but for some inexplicable reason, the water exploded from my mouth right on to my lap.
I laughed.
Dixie did not join in with me.

oh and one last thing. The suction thing that you stick in your mouth is INSANE. The whole time I don't know where to put it and so I tried several places (top, bottom, side to side) and every place I put it, it made weird noises and so I'd quickly move it but it would catch my tongue and practically rip it out. And once I felt like I couldn't breathe and I got dizzy.

Good glory. Who knew the dentist was so dangerous?
