school is here. i'm a junior and i'm rushing a greek sorority, i feel old. but with xi gone i don't really know what else to get involved in. i have the opportunity to help open up a chapter of alpha phi at the u, or step into a house that is already built up. don't know what to do. rush was fun, besides the fact that i had a permasmile just to mask my pain of being in the heat and sunlight for 8 hours. ahhhhhhh it was awful.
just a few random quotes i've heard lately that have been good:
"He who takes offense when it is intended is a fool. He who takes offense when none is intended is a greater fool."
Brigham Young
The Abundance Mentality, learn about it. Let everyone be important in your life.
i feel like since i moved into my house with roommates i have slept a total of 19 hours in 5 days. that actually might be accurate too.
i share a room and that could have to do with the lack of sleep. "goodnight" "wait we need to laugh our heads off and dance for 3 more hours before we can sleep." "ok. cool i'm sure my eyes won't burn too badly tomorrow"
these days are too long. or not long enough? either way i just want to sleep. and school starts on mondayyyyyyyy!
she's funny AND pretty AND good at make up, it's like her job--plus she has blue hair like a native american hipster. follow her makeup portfolio through blogger. she is being featured in a wedding magazine! congrats eliseeeeeee navidad.
literally, paint till you drop. i mean i just ran into the doorway at work because i was yawning. i stayed up till 3 thursday night. SIX IN THE MORNING on friday night/saturday morning, and 2 on saturday night. our house is completely freshly painted and CLEAN though!
we are so proud of this. SO proud. it's not quite done though yet.
during the strange "friday night/saturday morning" lack of sleeping time frame amanda and i went to walmart.
looking like this. seriously.
who buys sunny d? amanda fabrizio.
we were so tired, 6 am, no food for 2 days, we had forgotten to eat. All we ate was McDonalds, consistenly--new trend? yep! I lost 5 pounds, my mom even noticed.
still, no excuse for pringles in bed when the lights are already off. but it's what we do so what?
finally decided to venture out into the real world late saturday night and try to be social. so i went with these two "the most (un)social boys i know" it helped. love them.
i hate it.
if i were to write a country song it would go something like this, "i was married once, we grew up together, fallin' in love since the 4th grade. we both had dogs, then hers died, and then mine ran away and i drank my life away but i was happy cause i was playin' my fiddle by the campfire and had my good ole' blue jeans." or, "once upon a time i was growin' up in a little family on the country side of montana and ma' gramdma lived with us and i had a rough growin' up but i made it, and let me tell ya how i made it, i prayed and i rode ma' horses and i played my geetar and had ma' DOG, and now i'm just thinking of these memories."
there are only 3 cases in which it is acceptable.
1. while camping
2. if it's taylor swift
3. DIRT ROAD ANTHEM BY JASON ALDEAN
why do i love it? i have no idea, and i'm ticked about it. but i can't take it off of repeat.
1. i toilet papered a house full of boys and dropped my debit card on their front lawn. they used it to buy toilet paper and got us back. totally blew our cover, my bad.
2. one of my very best friends caitlin and her family came to visit for a few weeks from virginia. i love seeing them and catching up! look at her talent....here.
3. another one of my besties got married! congrats to shelby and jaden, i wish i could link their name to their new "married blog", but if you know shelby and her computer skills, creating a blog and uploading pictures is a little ways down the road for her. she is so happy! me too, cause i caught the bouquet.
4. i went to bear lake for a family reunion with my mom's family. it was a blast! i got some onion rings and a raspberry shake so the trip was basically complete at that point.
5. i got a white iphone. like tehya (she is in my top 3 friends for real) meet her. ughhhhhhhhhhh i feel so trendy. but i like the phone too much to put it away. the only bad thing so far is that there are 7 different text tones. that's IT. and 70% of my friends have iphones as well so it's getting reeeeeeeal annoying when they get a text and i think it's mine. (i ♥ instagram!)
6. i went to an esthetician to get my face cleared up. let me try and put that visit into one sentence for you. needles enter your skin, pressure is applied, acid, or fire, whichever name you prefer, is applied all over the skin until it dries. it worked though. this lady is magical. now i have her home product and it feels like slivers instead of nice exfoliating beads, and then just a little camp fire instead of a welding torch on my face. still, it's near torture.
7. i met new friends in salt lake. this has become a regular part of this summer and i have never been happier. the greatest part about it is that these new friends are people that i already knew (who they were) them through friends('s facebooks). it's totally cool and normal. at least now we are real life friends.
8. my roommates and i found a house and signed a lease! we are living between the nordstrom rack and tjmaxx/homegoods. so my money is basically already gone. i'm picking the key up tomorrow morning!
9. i went to a giant slip and slide in slc.
10. while in j crew i was asked if i worked there. i was SO happy.
