A goal accompanied with a question

So...I had this crazy idea a few months ago. See...I'm graduating from college (which is a huge accomplishment or something) and I want to look really good at graduation. So...I've decided to lose a pant size between now and April. Not too hard right? I mean, that's only approximately 10 lbs and I have about 3.5 months to do it! 

So here's my problem. I want a really cute dress. Like, the best dress ever made. However, I don't want a formal or anything because it is only graduation and I only own like 3 dresses. I own skirts galore, but dresses are another issue. So the problem lies in trying to actually find  a cute dress that I can set my sights on buying. I'm willing to spend a little bit of money on it, but not an extra-ordinary amount. So my blogging friends. Any suggestions on where to find a really cute dress for graduation in April??

CES goodness

So tonight SwingKid and I along with Chilly and her friend Big T went to the CES fireside. By the good graces of a great friend, we got to sit on the front row (we might have been on tv? who knows...) and listen to our prophet. He had great words of wisdom concerning preparation. I really enjoyed listening to his counsel. He's an amazing man.  After the fireside we all came to my festive apartment and made chocolate chip cookies. They were pretty darn amazing, if I do say so myself. It was great fun! Tomorrow is looking like loads of fun as well since I get to write a project proposal for dance history, do at least one load of laundry (hopefully more?) AND go to Walmart. wahoo! So there you go. have a lovely week y'all!

resurrection

my best friend/mechanic buddy called today. he fixed my car. it works again! what happened is the mechanic who was working on it didn't get the water pump (the brand new one) all connected right, so then the alternator belt didn't work and then no fluids were going anywhere, and my car died. BUT now everything it tightened back up and it works again!! wahoo!! AND he has to come get another car in Orem this afternoon so he's bringing my car TO ME! i don't have to go to his place to get it. I could have, but i don't have to!! oh life is happy.

also, i plan on telling you how bob the fish died. i just haven't typed up the story yet. look for it tomorrow or sunday. it should be up then. in the mean-time, know that my life just got WAY happier and i have an amazing boyfriend who's taking me on a fun date tonight. wahoo! enjoy your weekend y'all.

2. my car being happy is what I crave most right now.

3. Cork and wine go together like something clever.

4. cuddling is so nourishing.

5. Let us dare to move.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to date night with SwingKid, tomorrow my plans include directing junior company for the first time and Sunday, I want to go to the CES fireside with Chilly and SwingKid!

last first day of school and then some

so i have a new year's resolution to not waste time on the internet. so far, it's working, but it means that my blogging has suffered a tad. I think we're going to have to make an exception to blogging.

however, i have been psycho busy at work and school and things trying to get everything running smoothly. i went to my last first day of school on monday. that was pretty awesome sauce. today i finally got senor guapo. after giving up an arm, a leg, and the promise of my first born child i was able to ride into the sunset with senor guapo. 

in other news, the snow in utah seems to keep coming and won't stop. i am not a happy camper when it comes to said snow. 

also. SwingKid rocks. that is all. g'night.
