computers=plants

ha ha ha. so funniest thing all day, but then i am easily entertained as many of you know.

So i was talking to a professor (happens to be my fav.) at work today and he was complaining that his computer kept crashing and losing all his work.
and i said "well, have you talked to it?"
prof: "talked to it?"
me: "you know, like a plant. when you talk to a plant they grow bigger and better, so wouldn't a computer work better if you talked to it?"
prof: "and what do you say to your plants alishka?"
me: "well..um...i killed my plants. not because i didn't talk to them, but because i forgot to water them"
prof: "hmm...maybe i shouldn't talk to my computer then..."

so yeah. funniest thing ever. it helps that this prof. is from austrailia so he has an awesome accent.

this weekend was pretty much uneventful...i went home and all that jazz. ate really good food. stayed up late. i love my fam. all in all, its been a good week so far. hurray for wednesday = hump day! ;)

weird dreams

So I thought that the Mary Poppins dream was weird. but no. they get more weird. yup, more weird dreams. So this is what happened. I got bed doing choreography in my head so that I could remember it for rehearsal today, then in my dream I dream that I had kids. Not just already have them, but that I HAD a kid. Weird. I already had one, and she was like a year old, and then I had another one, a cute little newborn with dark hair. Tons of dark hair. It was so weird. The crazy thing is that I was still in this company I am in right now. And all the girls were asking me if I was going to quit and I told them no, I was just taking a break. Strange. So now you know my weird dreams....Wonder if it means anything....hmmmm

mary poppins

so i had a weird dream last night. i dreamed that i had a bag just like mary poppins' magic bag. you know, the bottomless pit of a bag where everything fits, but it looks just like a normal bag. yep, i had one of those. in fact it looked just like the bag that i take to school every day right now, except that it was magic. you see, i had a lot of stuff to take with me today (and other days as well) and i wished that i had a bag that was big enough to fit everything, and yet was small enough to not be burdensome. and in real life, there is no such thing. none whatsoever. bah. but mary poppins had such a bag. wish i could have one...oh well.

spunky lady

so i went out to dinner with my family last night right? well it was a lot of fun. dinner with the fam is sometimes not looked upon with excitement. but last night, it was a lot of fun! so...
my aunt helen, (who i haven't seen since i don't know when) is such a spunky lady! I love her! too bad my grandpa isn't more like her....things might be more interesting. although my mom is kind of like her, which is weird cause she is my grandpa's half sister. hmmm.. anywho she was just really cute at dinner, and even though my grandma is more of a punk then spunky, aunt helen didn't let her bother her at all. it was awesome. :D


remember this post : double dutch...or not? well i just found out last night that Sky Captain is engaged...to a girl he started dating shortly after our 'date' happened. the funny thing is, if i had let him continue pursuing me and things like that, i could be the one engaged to him. good thing i'm not though. as much as i love the kid, we wouldn't be good for each other.
other engaged friends: joey...and i thought she was going to wait for our friend BD who is in Italy, but i guess not. i hope she's happy.
well with that little burst of engagements over i am kinda glad that i am not getting married. i just want to play, a BF would be nice, and i have a couple of prospects, but they need to ask me out. if they don't i don't care, i'll just go on lots of dates.

well....my boss just left for the weekend, which will make tomorrow a VERY long day. but nice i guess. or something. i'll survive. i hope, be prepared for many postings tomorrow.... ;)

hot dog!!

So its been a while since I blogged. Maybe that's because I have been sleep deprived as of late. he he he....

so Friday night I had rehearsal for Hansel and Gretel. After that my friends came and got me and we went to Salt Lake City to visit my PT friend. We then played games and such, getting me home at about 12:45 am. I went to bed at 1 am, which leads us to Saturday.

Saturday I was extremely exhausted. I was at the studio at 7:15, rehearsed, and then danced until 10:45, where I then decided to skip jazz, and take a nap. I took a nap for about 1/2 an hour, woke up and taught. The nap did me wonders. I finally got home and felt like doing a little bit of playing in the sun, so I went swimming. I then lazed about for the rest of the day, finally going to bed at 10:15. Which leads into Sunday

I had told roommie B that if I wasn't up by 11 to wake me up. Well the first thing that happened Sunday morning is Roommie B telling me to wake-up. That's right folks. I slept for 13 hours. And man did I need it!! Went to my meetings, followed by church, another meeting, and an AWESOME fireside where Sister Kathleen and Brother Dean Hughes spoke. They were so cute together, and they had some awesome things to say. I loved it.

Monday was a good day, work was kinda slow, but for the most part it was swell. I got to go to lunch with Roommie B and then after work I went to FHE. Which was a lot of fun, and I did some hardcore flirting. After FHE it was cleaning checks and that was fun.

Tuesdays are my new favorite days. I work for 3 hours, go to devotional, work another 3 hours and go to company. Its wonderful! After company I went home and changed, and then I went back to campus and went to the country dance club and went dancing. SO much fun!! I haven't been dancing in a while, and country dancing...Well....Its been even longer. I met a lot of cool people and danced many a dance, including two with The Duke. I don't know a lot, but duke is a good lead so I had a lot of fun. I think I had more fun doing the swing stuff cause I know more of that then I do the two step. However, I want to learn more two step so it was good that I got to practice with a good lead. ;) I love dancing. Its a good think I'm majoring in it.

today has been a good day, somewhat slow, but all in all a good day. I got a free hot dog for lunch today on campus...That was cool, unhealthy, but cool. :D now I am just sitting here at work, really quite bored...The work day is almost over and then I get to go out to dinner w/the fam and see my Great Aunt Helen who I haven't seen in ages. So yeah. Enjoy your day.

Scripture of the Day

so i was reading my scriptures the other day, and happened upon this wonderful set of scriptures found in D&C 61:36-39

36 And now, verily I say unto you, and what I say unto one I say unto all, be of good cheer, little children; for I am in your midst, and I have not forsaken you;

37 And inasmuch as you have humbled yourselves before me, the blessings of the kingdom are yours.

38 Gird up your loins and be watchful and be sober, looking forth for the coming of the Son of Man, for he cometh in an hour you think not.

39 Pray always that you enter not into temptation, that you may abide the day of his coming, whether in life or in death. Even so. Amen.

Good stuff! I love this gospel, the scriptures, and everything else in life. So many good things, just....don't worry!!!

Happy Mother's Day and all that jazz.

back to friday: 2 wedding receptions!!! I was worried that i wouldn't make them both, not only did i sleep forever on friday afternoon (which was weird cause i don't normally nap...) but my dad was late from SLC, but i still made it to S. Jordan for Roomie S's reception and then back to Orem for L & J's wedding reception. They were both nice, and suited each girl's personality. fun times. i got to spend time with Truit which made it even better. she and i watched Rent. It was a good movie, but I don't know if i would watch it again, the music was good, but the story defintiely wasn't sugar coated at all. but good stuff.

Saturday: i was at the studio at 7:15 in the morning. you know how early that is? pickin' early!!! ugh! but we got a lot of choregraphy done. one of the girls got pulled from the show, she missed too much, i am sad to see her go, she'll be missed. after company i taught, and its been costume week so all of my little girls go to wear their cute tu-tus. oh my gosh they are ADORABLE!!! i am so excited to see them on stage! after teaching i showered and looked cute, and truit and i went shopping, got some new makeup, went to Wally-world and then she and i went ring shopping for fun, cause she might be getting engaged, and might not, so we went for fun. :) she definitely likes the major bling-bling, while i like something more simple and cute. its funny to see our differences in taste of jewelry. all in all saturday was a good day.

Sunday = a good mother's day, hope yours was good too. After teaching Relief Society (which was way fun, I thoroughly enjoyed it) and going to our Sacrament Meeting, I got the chance to go home. :) So i ate free food, had some cheesecake, and gave my mom her gift, which was a plant, a Sun Star, and here's a picture of the really cool plant.
my mom is awesome, and i love her to death!!
monday consisted of a lot of sun bathing, some swimming, and reading a book. i then went to FHE where we played Disc Golf and I got eaten alive by mosquitos even though i lathered on the bug spray. bah.

today has been good, its really hot, but i don't want to go swimming due to the fact that i have ballet, and if i got burned (which i most likely would) then it would be no fun being in a leotard. especially cause my leotard and swimsuit don't have the same cut so it woudl REALLY hurt. lol. i just realized that there is 1 month (from tomorrow) until our show Hansel & Gretel. I am slightly worried about that....we are getting closer to being done, but not that close yet. yikes!!!
that's all...enjoy your tuesday.

It's Finally Friday!!!!

I really like fridays. i like them even more when i wake up on time, have the luxury of getting ready at my speed, and end up looking way cute!!! this comes from the queen of getting ready in 15 minutes, as i did yesterday since i didn't wake up until 7:15... ha ha ha, but i got to work on time.

So my boss has been out sick all week, minus monday. which has been sad, b/c then i am the only one in the office, plus i don't have as much to do without boss here. sigh. but other than that its been all good.

so i got to try cafe rio the other night. my good frined The Duke (same person that i went to wendy's with the other day) took me there for dinner after my Mary Kay facial...i looked hot. ;) we had a blast. he's a cool kid. :D

so this performance that i am doing in like 5 weeks, is getting closer and closer. we are about 1/4-1/2 done wit hthe choreography....and its scary. b/c of this fact all the leads get to go super early tomorrow morning. class starts at 8, and i get to be there....at 7:15. oh joy. and that's after attending 2 wedding receptions tonight. 2!!!! Roommate S is getting married today, and then girl from ward got married last week and i am going to her wedding reception. too bad i don't have a date for all these wedding receptions. wouldn't that be cool, but it would need to be someone who knows them, and me, and i don't think that's going to happen. *shrugs* oh well. in the meantime i'll get a lot of 'me' time. hurrah. well...have a good weekend y'all.

the battle.....plus a frosty.

hmmm....lets start with the battle portion shall we? you might be wondering what the battle is over....well there is always the battle of good and evil, then there is the battle of if i should eat a cookie or if i should eat a carrot (the cookie almost always wins that one) then there is the battle of epic proportions. the battle to get tan legs. you see, my legs look like this:





and i want them to look like this:













so anyways. i have never ever had tan legs. i am trying really hard to get tan legs, but this is a difficult and sometimes mundane task. i sit outside hoping to get some color, but more often than not, i don't get anything at all. so then today (this is where the frosty comes in) I am eating lunch with a very good friend of mine, he does ballroom, and is one of the coolest peeps i know, he needs a 'nym, but i'll come up with that later. anyways he and i went to wendy's to get lunch and then came back up to campus to eat in the sunshine, we started comparing tan lines on our arms and the topic came up on tan legs...and let me tell you, he almost has me beat!!! i don't know how he does it, you would think with me being a girl, and him a boy, i would have a little bit more color, but nope, that's not the case. my new goal: to win the war of tan legs and accomplish the next to impossible: to not have white legs. so wish me luck cause here i go!!



doesn't this look yummy?? mine was extremely good....let me tell you...maybe it helped that i had excellent company. ;)

New peeps


So there are new peeps in the ward. I love making new friends. It's one of the coolest things ever. And I really like when those new friends are fun to hang out with, and when you first hang out with them they stay over really late and its just fun. that happened to me last night. SO much fun!! so yeah. ummm.......i like peeps. and i think that's abou it for now. i am reading some really good books, and loving it!!! hurrah!! :D that's all folks!
