Oh the Head

Holy smokes, I have been having THE WORST headaches lately. Its ridiculous. I get migraines all the time, but I've had a CONSTANT one for at least the past 5 days, and two days ago it just started becoming unbearable. I dont even know why. And I have a very high headache tolerance, so the fact that I want to curl up in a ball right now and just cry....that's saying something. Anyway, I havent blogged on this page for a while, so I just thought I'd catch up really fast.
Nothing super exciting is happening, other then Thanksgiving is like a week and a day away! Im really excited for that!! All the food, and seeing my family! Im so excited to see Cory and KT and their little kiddos! And also Tiff and James and their kids. Im most especially excited to see the two new babes of the fam, Alexa and Steven! I've seen so many ADORABLE pictures of them, and I JuSt CaNt WaIt (to be king!!! heheh I watch to much disney..) to see them finally!! This will be the first family reunion in like 10 years that EVERYONE will be able to make it, no one is on missions or out of...town. haha. We'll all be together! finally. Im super excited, although I KNOW there's going to be like crazy drama, for which I am NOT excited, but Im sure we'll make it through, and I'll have tons of pictures to post afterwards. :) I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving! Love you all. xo

ITs SnOwInG!!!!!!

I am so flipping excited that it is snowing today! My Aunt Wendy texted me and said that there is snow sticking on the ground up in Salt Lake! I cant believe it! Yay! That means that winter is HERE! We can go sledding and make snowmen, have snowball fights, and snuggle by the fire! YAY! Oh I just love the holidays! I wish that there were more Thanksgiving songs, because I love the holiday songs. Im so excited, in a few weeks we will be having a family reunion! And there is going to be so much food! And fun activities! Oh Im so excited! I really cant wait.
Anyway, I just wanted to express my excitement about the falling snow!! I hope everyone drives safe, and has a GREAT day, because this is definately a wonderful day. I love the snow. And I hope everyone loves it too! xo

Halloween Night!

Halloween Night was awesome! Tys and I went to Ihop for dinner, and I just love him. Then we went to Wallyworld because he needed an apron that we could bloody up. hehe
He really did have an awesome costume! We found this sick clown mask and a bloody dagger at Kmart and then he wiped (fake) blood all over an apron. It was sweet.

John had his last football game too, Stuart was so funny, he dressed up as the Joker for the game. I wont lie, it looked awesome!

After the game we went to Tiffany's house for the Halloween party, I felt really bad because we'd already missed like half of the activities, like pumpkin carving, cookie frosting, and apple bobbing. But it was still awesome. There was a campfire and an outside movie, etc.etc. AND My favorite Matt Nielson was there!! Yay. Happiness, because he just returned from his mission like last week!! I was so excited to see him!In case you cant tell who the people are these are their costumes: Paul=Joker, Whitney=Rocker chick, Jason= Red Power Ranger, Me=Twister, Matt=Nothing, normal clothes, but he says that he's a "returned missionary" for Halloween. haha, (I dont know those two other boys on the Trampoline's names) John=Martial Arts guy.
Yay!! Anyway this Halloween was great! I had so much fun!

My Cutie Patootie Pumpkin Cake!!

Im so excited, tonight is Tiffany's Halloween party! Im so so so excited! So in my excitement I made the cutest cake ever!! (thanks to kraftfoods.com) Its super easy too!
Anyway, here are a few pictures of my adorable cake. :) Happy Halloween everyone!

Halloween Preperation....

Kari, Stuart, John and I carved Pumpkins together on Wednesday! It was so much fun!! I love carving pumpkins, I think its one of my favorite things about Halloween, dressing up, and carving pumpkins. :) And, I hate to brag but I am pretty good at carving pumpkins. hehe if I do say so myself.
Anyway Kari was hilarious! She wouldnt put her hand inside the pumpkin to clean it and dig out all the guts! It was so funny. Stuart actually slimed her with some of the pumpkin guts while she was trying to be brave. We were all laughing pretty hard.

John was the official picture taker because he didnt want to be in the picutres (stinker) So this is the three of us carving. It was so much fun. Stuart dared me to carve batman, he said if it looked good he'd even give me a high-five...in public too!! This is something that is rarely done so I was pretty excited.

This is Stuart and Kari's finished product. They made a cute little pumpkin face. And they even carved their annitials on the side! haha
HERE IT IS! Batman in the flesh....well the pumpkin flesh I guess. For those of you who cant tell, Batman is the dark part in the center, and all the glowy stuff around him is (accourding to John) clouds, or (accourding to me) smoke from some huge explosion that just occured. Of course Batman saved everyone though. As always. So anyway, now Stuart owes me a public high-five! Im pretty excited. haha.

Yesterday we went to a Hollows Eve Dance Party at peaks arena. It was kindof lame, but getting ready for it was fun. John was a mummy and it took forever to wrap him up! We tore up sheets and tied the ends together and then just wrapped him good and tight. Although apparently it wasnt tight enough because by the end of the dance he had pretty much fallen apart. haha
I was Twister, like the game. I just bought a twister game from walmart and used the mat for a dress. then I glued the twister board onto a headband. It turned out pretty cute! I totally loved it. And everyone at the dance was spinning my hat. haha! We had a blast!

I LOVE HALLOWEEN!!

Holidays

I heard a Christmas song on the radio today!! I couldn't even believe it! CHRISTMAS SONG!!
Its not even Halloween and someone is playing Christmas songs.
I must say, I am not a fan of listening to Christmas songs before Halloween. I will admit that I have been one to listen like the day after Halloween, but having experience I can honestly tell you that if you start that early then by the time Christmas rolls around you get sick of them! Which is no good.
I do love Christmas though. Actually October-December are my FAVORITE months because they're just so much fun! Halloween- awesome! I love dressing up in different costumes, face paints, etc. Its super! Thanksgiving- come on, do I really need to explain this one? FOOD! Hello! Lots and lots of mind blowingly exquisite food. And family! Fun and games and food. Shopping with the crazies the day after, football, laying on the couch for the whole weekend because you ate to much. :) Basically its just awesome. Christmas- everyone in a giving, christ-like mood. I love the snow and caroling, and cuddling up in front of the fireplace, making snow people, mistletoe, presents, pine scented candles, Christmas trees, lights, candy canes, stockings, snowball fights, sledding, baking goodies, white elephant gift parties, Christmas Eve sleepovers with Bre... obviously there are a lot of reasons to love these seasons.
I hope that everyone has a wonderful Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

Okay Im not tagging anyone because this is my LAST TAG! These things are lame and I get sucked into them everytime! So I am done I say.

Anyway, not a lot has happened lately. I FINALLY got my baby back!! (my laptop) Al is amazing and he fixed her for me! I just love him!!
So last week I called the finance lady for my school just to make sure everything was working and that I'd actually be able to get in. (School starts TOMORROW!) Anyway, she was like "Oh well we're supposed to have a signature." Well they never told me about any signature! And so I guess it takes like 10 days to process this one stupid signature, and so I cant start school tomorrow. Now I have to wait until December! This is ridiculous. Anyway, Im done ranting about lame schools. I hope everyone has a wonderful sunday! xo

I am in love. Yes I am. With Calvin and Hobbes..

For some reason Im in a C&H mood. :) These are some of my FAVORITE C&H quotes.

"Why isn't my life like a situation comedy? Why don't I have a bunch of friends with nothing better to do but drop by and instigate wacky adventures? Why aren't my conversations peppered with spontaneous witticisms? Why don't my friends demonstrate heartfelt concern for my well being when I have problems? ...I gotta get my life some writers."

"I'm a simple man, Hobbes."
"You?? Yesterday you wanted a nuclear powered car that could turn into a jet with laser-guided heat-seeking missiles!"
"I'm a simple man with complex tastes."

"See Any UFOs?"
"Not yet."
"Well, keep your eyes open, they're bound to land here sometime."
"What will we do when they come?"
"See if we can sell mom and dad into slavery for a star cruiser"

"Mom's not feeling well. So I'm making her a get well card."
"That's thoughtful of you."
"See, on the front it says, 'Get Well Soon' ... and on the inside it says,'Because me bed isn't made, my clothes need to be put away and I'm hungry. Love Calvin.' Want to sign it?"
"Sure, I'm hungry too"

I go to school, but I never learn what I want to know.

Girls are like slugs - they probably serve some purpose, but it's hard to imagine what.

"Hello Susie, this is Calvin. I lost our homework assignment. Can you tell me what we were supposed to read for tomorrow?"
"Are you sure you're not calling for some other reason?"
"Why else would I call you?"
"Maybe you missed the melodious sound of my voice?"
"WHAT? Are you crazy? All I want is the STUPID assignment!"
"First say you missed the melodious sound of my voice."
"THIS IS BLACKMAIL!"

Calvin : You can't just turn on creativity like a faucet. You have to be in the right mood.
Hobbes : What mood is that?
Calvin : Last-minute panic.

Calvin: I'm a genius, but I'm a misunderstood genius.
Hobbes: What's misunderstood about you?
Calvin: Nobody thinks I'm a genius.

I'm not dumb. I just have a command of thoroughly useless information

I have a hammer! I can put things together! I can knock things apart! I can alter my environment at will and make an incredible din all the while! Ah, it's great to be male!

I'm learning real skills that I can apply throughout the rest of my life ... Procrastinating and rationalizing.

“Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.”

“Well, remember what you said, because in a day or two, I'll have a witty and blistering retort! You'll be devastated THEN!”

“Who was the first guy that look at a cow and said," I think that I'll drink whatever comes out of those things when I squeeze them?”

"These are interesting times. We don't trust the government, we don't trust the legal system, we don't trust the media, and we don't trust each other! We've undermined all authority, and with it, the basis for replacing it! It's like a six-year-old's dream come true!"

Nothing spoils fun like finding out it builds character

Aww mom, you act like I'm not even wearing a bungie cord!

When birds burp, it must taste like bugs.

Susie: You'd get a good grade without doing any work.
Calvin: So?
Susie: It's wrong to get rewards you haven't earned.
Calvin: I've never heard of anyone who couldn't live with that.

Last Thursday John took me to the Jazz vs. Suns game, and we had so much fun! Unfortunately the Jazz lost....not something I really care about but that was just who we were cheering for. hehe. After the game we went to "The Pie" in Salt Lake. It was SO much fun. Jason Rawle is just about the funniest person I know. He was convinced that he could eat a whole 24inch pizza all by himself. Thats 16 pieces! It was outrageous. Luckily he didnt that night because he was full after 3 pieces. haha. But they amused themselves with dipping their fingers in the wax and playing with the candles on the table.

Then Jason decided that he was going to eat a whole piece in two bites.......it was pretty commical.
John also took me to the BYU homecoming dance. We went with his friend Stuart, and his girlfriend Kari. It was so much fun! We danced and laughed all night long.

Everyone was taking these super cheesy pictures and so before we took a funny one John and I were making fun of them by acting super cheesy....Im not sure if you can tell in this picture, but its pretty funny.

This one cracks me up. Im dragging John by the ankle haha!!!
Perfection.

Kari, Stuart, John, Me

Saturday was the BYU HOMECOMING GAME! Yeah baby! I dont think I've been that cold in a really really long time! haha. But it was so much fun. John and I went with Bre and Scott. Yay family bonding time. :)

John thinks he looks gangster. hehe
On Sunday we all went over to Naomi's house for Game Night! Of course we played Mafia (like we do every sunday hehe.) We also played Zip-Bong. Or in this case Zip-Erp. haha. It was so fun. For those of you who dont know what that is, you have to keep your teeth covered the whole time, and you go around the circle saying "zip" to each other, if you want to reverse it you say "erp" or "bong"! I lost so bad, I think I made it around the circle twice at the very most, and then I just started laughing because its so so funny!
