Storm Bending

Some fun things have happened recently. The first on is the crazy storm that came on Tuesday. It was a thunderstorm with winds going 60 mph. Lightning and thunder was everywhere, the sky was dark and pretty and the rain was coming down hard. It was really warm outside too.

Alyssa and I went out and played in it. Half our street was out there too, which was most of our Relief Society. Alyssa and I ran around half the block then came back. I had not run like that since high school! It was so much fun. It was really pretty too.

Barbara was such a dork, she has ammonia because the doctors had to drown her lungs to clean them out and she was out there jumping in puddles with us. The water in the puddles was super dirty and they were HUGE. I wish I had pictures of it, but I do have pictures Alyssa took of us when we came back in to shower.

She showered first so I sat on a towel in the living room and watched TV until it was my turn. After playing in the warm rain and then coming in and getting cold, the hot shower was super nice. We had so much fun.


Jen and I went to the midnight showing of The Last Airbender, we walked to the theatre. She was on the phone with Bekah the entire way. She had called her to see if she wanted to come with us, but she had to remain at home and take care of her grandma. I was stressing because we were waiting for her to call us back and tell us yes or no and we couldn’t leave until we knew. So when Jen called back and she said no at around 10 I dragged us out of there and started walking at my fast pace. Jen wouldn’t keep up, and I think she was getting irritated with me. We went to cross the street and a car came toward us at high speed. I freaked and pulled her along, being silly. She told me to calm down :( That’s when I think she was irritated. So I was quiet until I was handed the phone. I talked to Beks a bit; she’s having it rough right now. Then we went inside, I was still on the phone and Jen got our tickets. I owe her almost $9.00 Ick >.< She and I talked and played a couple games. I won 2 of War, and she won 2 of Go Fish. She stole my three Queens both games. I was livid. And then we went in to see the movie. It was good. I enjoyed it for what it was, but it was not as epic as I had hoped it would be. I would have done three movies for each book so there would have been nine. There was just way too much information to cram it all in a one, two hour movie. Jen and I talked about it the entire way home, talking about what we liked, what we disliked, analyzing the movie and voicing our opinion about the whole thing. That’s when I like to critique a movie, not during it :P, which is what she likes to do at home. I can’t stand that, but she’s getting better at not doing it.

Anyway, that’s about it. We had fun.

Last night I stayed up until four cleaning the house. I couldn’t stand the dirtiness any more, and no one had done their chore before leaving for the weekend. So I cleaned. I got up around nine and went next door to catch the last of the soccer game with Barbs (Germany vs Argentina). Germany won 4:0. It was a pretty cool game, and the sportsmen ship was awesome. After that I came back here and slept until about 1:00 and then vacuumed. I couldn’t do it last night. I didn’t want to wake up upstairs or Jen.

Now it is beautiful and clean.

I just wish people would do their chores. I’m so tired.

Wedding Bells

My roommate from last semester is engaged!

Dreams & Lake Monsters

I had my first “romantic” dream last night. Except it wasn’t just romantic. We were married. It was really cool. I still remember how I felt. I mean, I could tell we’d been married for a while. We just found out I was pregnant and we were at some auditorium for a community meeting. There was so much love in my chest I thought it’d burst. It wasn’t the lusty love, but pure true good love. I hope it’s like that when I do get married, and all the hype of first getting wedded goes away like we’ve been talking in my marriage prep class.

Only my UFO friends could truly appreciate who my husband was….except it wasn’t him at the same time. I had that same kind of excitement and anticipation that I do with that guy, but though it was him…it also wasn’t him.

My dreams are weird.


Our toilet flooded the bathroom. Yup. It was exciting. We’re still washing the towels that we used to clean it up. I was steaming my face at the time, but then I heard Alyssa and Kim squealing. I looked up just in time to see water flooding the floor and the two girls jumping out of the way.

Alyssa called Mandy, who came over just to laugh at us. Mandy is kind of the go to girl when things go wrong.

Though my roommates might not think so, I think living here in the Hobbit Hole is a grand, epic adventure I wouldn’t trade for the world. We’ve had so many things go wrong, it’s like going through our own journey. I think the bathroom flood counts as fighting the Lake Monster before the Dwarf Mines.

Good times.


Today we’re going shopping for food, and other things. There is a possibility that we may go to the sand dunes…Kim’s got the car, and she isn’t feel up to much…we’ll see what happens.

Some New Stuff

Here is a video of my roommate Kim and I (and sort of Jelly) singing Mouline Rouge



Above is a video of our leaking ceiling. You can barely see the drips of water go into the pots; I think you can hear the water too. Below are pictures of the pots catching the water.






This is my new awesome haircut!

Quiet

Sometimes I feel all alone.

But I know that I am not.

Kaylee visited me this Valentines Weekend. Got to admit, it was the best part of the Holiday =]

We watched FOTR and TTT. Someone is borrowing my ROTK so we didn’t get to see that. I really need to find the girl and ask for it back. Kayls and I also made Lembas Bread today. It tastes like a glorified graham cracker. Real good stuff.

David B. sent me roses for V-Day. Not sure how I feel about it anymore. I screamed and was kinda having a fit when I saw them cause I’m dumb and ick. I just felt awkward about the whole thing. He assures me he only did it cause he thinks I deserve some nice stuff…I hope he doesn’t expect anything special in return. I can’t give him that.

I miss the LOTR’s faze…I don’t think I ever got out of it.

I don’t want to go school tomorrow. Bah.

Everyone is at FHE. I didn’t go cause I’m not feelin’ too hot and I had to get some homework done for tomorrow.

I’m going to buy a beta fish when the roses die and put him in the vase. Think I might call him Leggy…or Doristanen…or Aiden…dang choices. I might even walk around campus and give the roses away to random people. Not sure though.

Well…I’m back at school, obviously. I need to be better about updates.

I need to call the office about getting my AA and find out about transferring to Provo.

*Bangs head on laptop* Will I survive?

Hope ya’ll had a happy Valentines.

My Hair...Oops o.O

In an attempt to put my hair back to its original color I accidentally turned it black...

Cw-aaaa-p

Things are going wrong this Holiday season.

First: Dad got laid off…well, we knew that was coming, and were actually hoping for it—but at Christmas? C’mon.

Second: With dad laid off, my way of getting to school is…um…

Third: Mom wasn’t paying the money for Trev’s horn, so it got repossessed without the chance of ever getting it back. We had to go to a ponshop in order to get one for his class—granted mom and dad got a steal on it…but with the above miss-haps…this was baaaad timing.

Fourth: Mom didn’t pay a ticket…so dad might go to jail?

Now the good news:

Dad gets good unemployment.

More bad news:

Mom might get let go…that’s bad >.<

Dang. I am hung-a-ry.

At least we won’t lose the house or the car…score.
