[3 things]

1. jeggings came out a year ago, so why does the announcer act like this is a brilliant new discovery?

2. i knew it looked familiar...

3. a girl last night was wearing mom jeggings.

with a shirt tucked in.

AND THEY WERE FOREST GREEN.

[too personalized]

there are so many cool things that can be personalized in the world today, but some need to be left alone, the generic way.

like:

[ringback tones]

if you call someone expecting a regular dial tone but hear "hips don't lie" it's awkward when they pick up...

[debit cards]

have you ever worked at a store where you take someones debit card to charge them and they have those personalized pictures that are just....too personal?

you feel like you have to say "oh my gosh cute cat" even if you are gagging.

....and the dob on her drivers' license is 1952.

this shouldn't shown in public, talked about it public, or ever done.

i don't care if "dogs have cleaner mouths than humans".

[ringtones]

normal looking people having ringtones like:
because i got high by afroman
star trek theme song
etc.

[license plates]

[facebook checkins]

if i wanted to know where you were, i would text you so we could meet up. 

if i wanted to stalk you like a creep, i would check your latest facebook checkin

just leave facebook for "reconnecting" and stalking pictures, not locations :/

[license plate frames]

these frames just wouldn't be spotted on the cars of normal people...

[voicemails]

sometimes people just give out too much information about themselves. 

all it needs to say is "hi this is regina and i can't come to the phone, sorry"

but instead it says something like "hi this is regina i'm terribly sorry that i missed your call, i am either in the shower, feeding the cows, sleeping, exercising, getting the mail or grocery shopping! leave me a detailed message and i will call you back as soon as i can! have an excellent day because you deserve it!"

see how useless most of that information was?

are there any that i missed??

ok frank, see you on march 21 on our way to saint thomas.

it should be pretty fun.

[here's to happiness]

3. scooter rides on lucille and the fact that i can't help but smile
4. petrichor:  the smell of rain & driving through deep puddles
5. the happiness of wedding videos & photographs...even those of strangers haha.
6. the scent of citrus
7. the shaky weakness felt after an exhausting workout
8. a good back crack
9. anticipation and surprise of doorbells
10. consistently finding killer deals on everything
11. the burn on my throat from a diet coke

k fine, eleven.

more happiness lists @ the rockstar diaries, just another blog well worth stalking.

[gramms]

katy perry has always bugged me, mostly just because my mom can't stand her. and because she sings three of the top ten most obnoxious songs.
1) teenage dream
2) firework
3) i kissed a girl
and here's yet another reason.

it's like zenon girl of the 21st century mixed with charlie's angels. the grammy's were february 13th, maybe she was going for the look of cupid, but she was a day early.

good news though, lady gaga didn't look too strange.

just...kind of.

and nicki minaj was way normal and formal looking too.

then christina agularia fell. 

thanks for the laughs you guys.

Valentimes

 Why is Valetimes a big deal? 

I mostly just miss making Valentimes every year for elementary school parties. I always had homemade ones, cause I was just sooooooo crafty as a child. One year I literally took two black garbage bags to school with my Valentimes in them. Normal kids had a grocery bags, but I was weird. I had put hershey hugs and kisses in balloons, blown them up, and tied them to paper mache Valentimes.  Needless to say, my mom drove me that day, walking would have been an absolute joke.

Since I miss that so much, I decided to make a valentime for all of blogger friends!! 

So here you go!

I am so proud to say that I had to go clear back to pictures from sophomore year to find a kissy face.  Thank goodness I don't do that one anymore.

Also, I'm super excited to go to my friend's "Estrogen Extravaganza" tonight! it will be an excellent Valentimes night.

And I hate it when people say Valentimes. it's valentines.

[gas]

yesterday while driving home from school i realized that i use a lot of gas. this realization sparked a brilliant memory i thought i had engraved in my head..i swore i'd never be a speeder. seriously though is 80 mph on i-15 really that big of a crime? i'd consider it equivalent to stealing extra mints from cafe rio (aren't they delicious?). so no. it's not a crime. going 65 though, that is a crime!
so why did i ever swear that i'd never speed? it's not the unlawful guilt. it's because i got an e-mail forwarded to me when i was 12, when i thought driving would be THE coolest thing, that said driving 65 mph instead of 80 saved 15% of your gas.

so naturally, i had to test it out.

and it did! it saved so much gas! and wasted so much time!

32 minutes later....

i almost fell asleep four times. i got a sore throat from singing so much, it was basically a mini road-trip. and people were staring at me as they drove by with a shocked look because I wasn't over the age of 70.

[i'm a creep]

but at least i'm admitting it!

so the other day on campus it was 10 degrees. oh sorry, i mean -17 degrees with the wind factored in. how could i forget to mention that? it was absolutely horrid.  it was almost that bad today too, the only difference was that i wasn't crying as i walked from one class to the next.

instead of walking literally across the entire campus from my last class of the day to my car--i decided to take the shuttle.  i rode the "blue" one. apparently that's the route i needed.

anyway, while on the shuttle (luckily i had a seat) i was naturally "observing" (staring/people watching) at all of the people standing on the packed buss and i noticed the cutest thing ever. a backpack.  i've been looking for a backpack lately, not because i have lots of books or anything, i actually bought one this semester and it is 8 inches tall and 6 inches wide. it's tiny. but only because in the 4 weeks of school this semester i have successfully broken the strap on two, TWO purses, oversized bags--whatever. sad. so i want a backpack.

back to the story. one girl had on the cutest backpack i've ever seen. as the bus turned every 8 seconds, seriously, i had to get closer and closer to her bag to see the label on it so that i could find one! :/ yeah. i know. it was so little and engraved in silver, on a silver tag. smart one. so there i was, the creepy girl on the bus, squinting my eyes, tilting my head, and basically falling off of my seat as my face got closer and closer to her backpack. thank goodness she was facing the other way.

here's the bag, by JANE MARVEL--sorry for writing so much and only putting up a single picture, isn't that the worst when you see someone posted something and all there is to do is read it? ugh. so annoying, so sorry.

[dysfunctional]

if you know of ike, then you understand the humor in the idea that my family went out for dinner tonight. he stayed in the booth actually. he just climbed up the side in his clunky snowboots trying to ride his finger-skateboard in the cactus decorations.  anyway, at the end of the meal...

 waitress: "how would you like the checks?"

everyone was confused

dad: "all together."

she leaves.

then we realize...

millers (1)

millers (2)

how.....funny. and we always thought that his happening was just a joke.

(high quality photos with good looking people)
