I feel like there are about 100 other things that I've been meaning to tell you...but I just can't think of any of them right now. sigh. oh well! Have a great Thursday peeps!

the last Thursday Things of 2010!

Well dear friends, it's the last Thursday Things of 2010. Hard to believe that the year ends in just one more day. Here are some final thoughts before my recap tomorrow.

• My vacation is almost over. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here in Virginia. It has been a nice break from reality.
• I will not miss my perpetually cold toes and nose. That has been that least fun part of my trip.
• Tomorrow is New Years Eve. I will spend most of the day on an airplane or in an airport.
• I brought the perfect amount of books with me. I love when I guesstimate correctly how much I'll read.
• I think flirting is fun. Makes me giggle.

Hope you all enjoy your final hours of 2010!!

a little something

I am sitting on my parent's couch in Virginia with freezing cold toes and nose. I am doing my best to make sure I keep said appendages, but right now I am not so sure right now.

Anyways, while I try to stay warm I wanted to share a little something with you.

I love music and always have, and right now there is a song that I am totally digging right now: Strip Me by Natasha Bedginfield.  Enjoy!!

Thursday things...in Virginia!!

Well my dear internet friends, I am in Virginia! I am here with my family freezing my toes off. It is really cold (and there's even a tad bit of snow on the ground!) but I am so happy! I love hanging out with my family.  Before I leave you today, let me list off a few things that have happened:

• Part of my flight here included me flying American Airlines. Did you know that AA gives you the whole can of whatever you get when it comes to drink time? This made me heart super happy. One whole can of Coke for me!

• Went and saw Tangled this afternoon. Adorable movie with fun dialog and a cute story.

• I pulled an all-nighter Tue-Wed. It was fun times. 

• I know I've promised an update and nyms on boys and that IS coming...maybe I'll make it my Christmas gift to you. I'll work on that.

• I'm having a wonderful holiday - I hope you do too!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Things

Thing 1: it is VERY COLD outside and my toes are freezing. (still)

Thing 2: I ran the required 2.5 miles as part of my workout program last night. I am awesome. When you add in the warm-up and cool down my total distance was 3.05 miles in 40 minutes. I'm a little sore today, but it feels GREAT.

Thing 3: Pumpkin Pie for breakfast is like THE BEST thing ever.

Thing 4: I bought a Christmas Ballet CD the other day. I'm rather excited to teach with it. :o) Should be festive fun.

Thing 5: The countdown has begun. I leave for VA in 23 days...that is CRAZY.

Thing 6: Ten on Tuesday. Woo hoo!

1. Where are you from? Have you lived there your whole life?
I am from Payson, UT and no, I have not lived there my whole life. Seeing as how my family has moved 15+ times since I was born = many different homes. Also, my family is no longer in Payson, UT.

2. How would you classify your clothing style?
Uh...Comfortable, Chic, and Cute.

3. What kind of car do you drive?
A 2002 Toyota Camry. :o)

4. What would your dream home look like if you could have it (or already do!)?
hmmm. I definitely want a nice kitchen with lots of counter space. I also would love lots of storage space and a decent sized bedrooms.

5. Do you have kids, and if so, how many and how old were you when you had them?
I have zero kids.

6. What is your favorite hobby?
hmm. I love dancing and cooking/baking. oh and if kissing can count as a hobby I love kissing.

7. Are you going to have any New Year’s resolutions for 2011?
I have a lot of goals...but I always have a lot of goals. So I'm sure I'll have some new ones on January 1, but I'm not speaking them out loud. At least...not yet.


8. What is something, if anything, that you’d want to change about yourself?
hmmm....there are several things I would love to change...but then I wouldn't be me anymore.

9. What is something that you love about yourself?
I love that I can be self-motivated (sometimes) and that I DO set goals for myself.

10. Pick one of the following: Someone to cook for you, someone to do your laundry, or someone to do your dishes.
hmm...I love to cook, but having someone to cook for me on occasion would be nice. Laundry isn't the end of the world...and dishes...well. I can get in the mood for dishes, but in the long run - i'd go with someone to do my dishes. :o)

Tuesday Ten

note from the editor: This was SUPPOSED to post on Tuesday. It really was. I had EVERY intention of it going through. I'm not sure what happened. Sorry y'all. So I guess it can be...Ten on Thursday! :o)

You guys. I fail at trying to sleep. I was in bed just afte 10:30p (with the lights off around 10:45) and then it took me AT LEAST an hour to fall asleep. It was the worst thing ever and I thought I was going to die when the alarm clock went off this morning. Never mind that I had odd dreams about the ballet studio I teach for and what not. Sigh. Today has been semi-long and I am definitely looking forward to the toddler birthday party that is tonight. Little kids are just SO MUCH FUN!

Anyways. It's time for Ten on Tuesday. you know the drill.

1. What is your current favorite television show?
Well. My favorite shows are not on right now because it is summertime. I LOVE the cake shows on TLC and the food network though. They are fun to watch. However, they always make me want cake. Mmm...Cake.

2. Apple juice or orange juice?
OJ. I love a tall glass of OJ in the mornings. Wakes me right up. I won't say no to Apple Juice though. It's yummy too.

3. It’s Shark Week on Discover Channel. Do you watch? Why or why not?
negatory. I do not need to scare myself silly with shark shows.

4. What are the non-blog websites that you visit regularly?
Facebook, Twitter, Woot, and...the comics.

5. What is your favorite way to prepare green beans? Asparagus? Potatoes? Carrots?
I love steamed green beans. Asparagus is amazing grilled. I have a killer mashed potoato recipe that I enjoy but I love potatoes regardless of how you cook them and carrots....carrots are good no matter what you do to them.

6. What is your favorite flower?
I love fresh flowers, but my absolute favorite is a Gerbera Daisy. SO PRETTY!

7. How do you feel about handkerchiefs?
Well. I don't use them. At all. I have one or two? maybe? but I really am "meh" on the whole issue

8. If you could only shop at 3 stores for the rest of your life, what would they be? (You probably should include a grocery store.)
hmmm.This is a toughie. I'm going to go with my favorite local grocery store: Macey's, DownEast for their super cute clothes and Target for everything else I need because they are nicer than Walmart.

9. If you could only use wine for one purpose for the rest of your life, which would you choose? To cook with or to drink?
hmm. I have never had a glass of wine. I guess cooking. I used it once in a recipe and it was good, but i have no other purpose for it in my life. so that's easy.

10. What’s your bedtime?
Well. I TRY to start getting ready for bed around 10p (change into pj's, read scriptures and whatever fiction novel i am reading and brush my teeth, etc.) and lights are out usually by 10:30p. This is pushing my ability to wake up at 6 am for work...but i can do it. Most days. My body has been rebelling as of late though and hates sleeping. Stupid body.

hating mother nature

it is currently snowing. i hate the snow. i don't want to see it until dec 24th. i am freezing at work, my toes are wet and my "nose is froze."  (name the movie!)

although the weather outside was frightful, i still managed to get myself out of bed, into some clothes and at the  gym to take Yoga. It was a great class and I am definitely feeling the workout in my body, but I am awake, and that is good.

in other news, you need to read Tib's post on THIS list. I am dying inside right now. HA HA HA.

three years ago (3 posts!!)
1. I was hoping for some sunshine this weekend. Weather: FAIL.
2. Once I went to they gym and I left my book on the treadmill. It was there when I went back 10 min later though.
3. Why is it snowing before the first day of May???
4. Mexico - where the sun is- was in my thoughts today.
5. One of my father's favorite sayings was "ask your mother" actually, i don't think that was his favorite saying, but I can't think of a favorite one right now...so yeah.
6. FREEZING fingers--I know that feeling!
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to something festive fun that keeps me warm, tomorrow my plans include teaching lots of dances and cleaning and Sunday, I want to teach a good sunday school lesson!

Christmas Eve!!

I love Christmas Eve. It's one of my favorite parts of the holidays. Part of this is because we eat our big meal on Christmas Eve. Ham, yummy potatoes (funeral potatoes some peeps call them in UT), my favorite cranberry salad and so many other Christmas favorites. I'm very much looking forward to dinner tonight. yum.

THEN all of us kids sleep on the floor (or mattresses, or whatever) on the floor in a room together - far from the tree so no one can peek. :o) We all wake up around the same time and trek into the room where the tree is residing and see what Santa has brought us. I don't know what it is about Christmas Eve - but even though I'm growing up, I STILL can't sleep. I'm too anxious. It's kind of crazy.

So, wherever you are tonight, whatever your traditions, I hope you have a wonderful Christmas Eve and enjoy yourselves.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Freezing Friday in December

well my friends, another friday is here and it is FREEZING. i hate the cold. i'm so ready for it to be warm again.

1. You get the blanket, i'll get the hot cocoa and we'll be warm together.
2. I am trying to survive being cold right to the bone.
3. It's Christmas and finals time. I hate finals because they keep SwingKid in the library too late. :P
4. Having cold toes at work is ridiculous!
5. I feel more calm during this time of year than is normal - I think it has to do with the fact that I have NO FINALS!!!
6. give me a kiss and...goodnight!
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to my first ever In-N-Out experience, tomorrow my plans include finishing up some crafty things and Sunday, I want to enjoy the First Presidency Christmas Devotional!

Monday Marvels

once upon a time there was a girl who worked customer service. her boss decided to take an extra day for the holiday weekend. her co-worker decided to go on a work trip to NY and her other co-worker felt sick and went home early. this poor girl had to work ALL BY HERSELF, ALL DAY LONG, in a NOT SO WARM office, with COLD TOES, and she had to go to Physical Therapy. sad day.

in the end, she couldn't come up with something for the monday marvels post. next week will be better. heck, tomorrow better be MUCH better or there will be kicking and screaming....

it's tomorrow guys...

and i am still freaking out. eek! plus, my head hurts and i can't take anything for it. this is stupid.

as far as my to-do list goes, it has shrunk and grown in different respects. what it looks like now:

• grocery shopping for like 2 weeks (well...maybe not two weeks, but close enough)
  
• make food and freeze it so i don't have to cook (i bought a lot of easy to make items and just need to make some jello tonight. :] i am awesome)
  
• find a chair for the shower (anyone??) or SOMETHING
  
• get glitter toes (tomorrow. SwingKid's sister. :o) I'm thinking purple....) (they are SUPER cute!!)
  
• books (also tomorrow. :o) )
• movies (tomorrow and every time i need a new one SwingKid is in charge of my entertainment...I'm not sure he completely realizes this yet.)
• get gas for the car
• clean room (6p-7p)
  
• clean lv room (6p-7p)
  
• get a blessing (9:15p ish)
• pick up crutches from friend (9:15p ish)
• go to gold's gym and freeze my account 
• go talk to the trainer to set up rehab
• take BU2 co-director BU2 things (8:40p)
  
• pick up CD of pictures from photo shoot (9p)
  
• call hospital for surgery time (i can do this in 30 min....)
• take a nice, hot bath (10p ish)
  

oh man. i'm trying to just breathe and not freak out, but that hasn't worked all week and i don't think its going to start working now. sigh. i need work to be over so i can take a half hour nap and then get things done!

CRAZY!!!!

#1 - my lil' bro turned 17 yesterday. I'm not old enough to have a 17 year old brother. eek.

#2 surgery is in 3 freaking days. How did it happen so fast?

#3 my Truit is home from her mission and will be in UT today and I GET TO SEE HER. omg i am so excited. I can't wait. it is like the one thing getting me through my day. I love her and can't wait to see her again!

#4 my to-do list is not shrinking, I've decided if i post it here maybe more of it will get done so -

THE PRE-OP TO-DO LIST

• grocery shopping for like 2 weeks
• make food and freeze it so i don't have to cook
• find a chair for the shower (anyone??)
• get glitter toes (tomorrow. SwingKid's sister. :o) I'm thinking purple....)

i'm sure there's more to that list...sigh. my life is going to change a lot on Friday and I'm not sure I'm going to be able to handle all the change....Also, am I forgetting anything? After being sick this weekend and not being able to get anything done, I'm worried I'm forgetting something. I know there's at least 2 of you (Marisa? Erin?) that read this and have done this before...sigh. I'm trying to just breathe and be okay with everything...

Friday!

Hard to believe the weekend arrived so fast. I think it has something to do with the 3-day weekend I enjoyed so much last weekend. How I wish EVERY weekend could be a 3-day weekend at times....but I guess I wouldn't enjoy it as much as I do when they actually come!  :-D

1. It's cold and creamy. Mmmm...ice cream.

2. I love them, SwingKid despises them, I'm talking of: tomatoes.

3. My favorite health and beauty product is good ol' facewash.

4. I could use a nice long ride.

5. Well, first of all it's FRIDAY!! Second of all, I'm going to PARTAY! and Third of all, the show is in 2 weeks...just a little nervous!!.

6. SwingKid and myself; those were the cast of characters in a recent dream and it was private thank you very much. 

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to BU2 closing social pool party at my apartment. woot!, tomorrow my plans include shopping with Roommate L, she is in MUCH need of some color to her closet and Sunday, I want to enjoy the last day of May!

Long time gone...

I feel like I haven't posted in ages...oh wait, I haven't. lol. Anyways....life has been crazy in my life for the past little while, but now it's all over and what happens? I get sick. :P I've actually been sick for about a week, but all the late nights, rehearsals, and moments of chaos have caught up with me and I desperately needed sleep today. So...I slept 12 hours. he he he. 

My girls' show went absolutely fantastic this weekend. They stepped up their performance more than I could have dreamed!! Their Swan Lake lines were perfectly straight, they pointed their toes, and they performed their little hearts out. It made me so happy!!

SwingKid has been a great support through all the dress rehearsals and performances. He came to closing night with me, and it was great to sit with him. He's so awesome. 

Terrific Tuesday!

I've decided that I like Tuesdays...and Thursdays for that matter. But I digress...Tuesdays!!!

Today, Tib posted this letter post thingy where you get a letter assigned to you and then you're supposed to list 10 things that you love that begin with that letter.  

Well, I wanted to play so I asked my dearest Tib for a letter. She gave me the letter "T."

So here are my Ten Things That begin with The letter T That i love:

1.   Threadless T-shirts.  Seriously, they are awesome to a T! he he he

2.  the Tango. One of my favorite ballroom dances of all time.

3. "Time to Say Goodbye" - This is a fantastic song. I love the Sara Brightman and Andrea Bocelli version.

4. Tomatoes.  SwingKid doesn't like Tomatoes, but I do. I think they're great. Now the question is ... fruit or vegetable?

5. Tangerines. Yummy citrus goodness that fits in the palm of your hand. Sweet. Literally.

6. Tapioca pudding. oh my gosh. I love, LOVE, LOVE tapioca pudding. Truly one of my favorite desserts.

7.  Being Tan. However, trying to be tan doesn't always work out for me. But I do my best.

8.  Twitter. It's fun. and festive. even though i'm not good at updating it...

9.  Totino's Pizza. Cheap pizza that I can eat whenever I want. Except right now because I'm trying to lose weight.

10. Tropical vacations. Even though I've never really been to a tropical location, I think a tropical vacation is definitely something I can love. For shizzle!

That was great fun and an awesome letter to boot! Thanks Tib! Anyone want to play? shoot me a comment and i'll send you a letter!!!

and....

I’m leaving….on a jet plane! Actually, I already left. See, I would have posted earlier, but with the my last minute packing, the yucky weather, and the fact that I didn’t have any wireless in the airport (at least, not without forking out $8) we’re posting this post flight. J Getting through security at SL Int’l was a piece of cake. I got to the airport at 7:25 and getting through security took me 30 minutes. So I sat at my gate for an hour and a half people watching, taking pictures and talking to my parents and SwingKid.

 

Speaking of SwingKid…get got me a great Christmas present. I was really happy about it. He got me these sweet slippers that have little heat packs in them that I put in the microwave so that my toes can be all toasty warm during the cold months. I put them in my bags for Virginia and I’m sure they’ll keep my feet extra toasty warm in the really cold, old house. J In any case, my feet will never be cold again and I have a sweet boyfriend to thank for that. He loved his present y the way. I got him an awesome Threadless T –shirt and the Dr. Horrible’s Sing A-long Blog Soundtrack. He’s going to love me forever. He he he.  We watched two awesome movies yesterday. One at the dollar theater : Ghost Town. Really super funny and had me wishing I had an awesome English accent. However, SwingKid did favor me in his rendition of  his English accent. It was really cute.  Later that evening we watched Hero, an awesome martial arts kind of film. Slow moving…we fast forwarded a majority of the movie. Then later that night I said good-bye for the next 13 days. L This was sad, but it will be good for us to be apart for a little bit, and let’s behonest; I’m going to have so much fun with my family! Also…he’s picking me up from the airport when I come back and that’s going to be the most awesome thing ever! J

The flight was fairly uneventful...the only thing i ever really noticed was ascent and descent and that felt like an amusment park ride. Which was fun and festive.  I cried when I saw my mom and dad and we went to Subway after finally finding my duffel bag. I am now sitting in my house in Virginia. it's cute and quaint. I'll post pictures later...for the meantime, enjoy your fun times! Loves!
