What made your day?

Things that made my day.

Things that made my Tuesday better...

-Breakfast for lunch. Delish.

-The sunshine.

-Driving by Guthrie and seeing all the pretty bikes. I want!

-Planning for the Lake Powell trip.

Its that time again.

The seasons are changing and so is my wardrobe. I've got loads of great spring/summer attire that I've slowly been incorporating into the outfit rotation.

There is one road block for me however.
Its that time.
The time when the men at the office take over the A/C.
It might as well be winter still for the temperatures that I'm enduring in the office. My fingers are freezing, my toes are little popsicles in my sandals, my legs and arms are covered in goosebumps.

What to do, what to do?
Sacrifice my comfort for fashion?

I suppose so...
After all, is that what most women do when it comes to things like shoes?

One of those mornings...

This transitional seasons thing really got to me this morning.
First off, I so did not want to get out of bed. Sure, I could say that pretty much every morning, but I really meant it today! Needless to say, I pressed snooze a few times too many this morning

Then I didn't want to get out of the shower. Now that is an unusual thing for me. I really dislike breathing humid air, therefore I don't care to stay in the shower for an extended period of time. I usually rush through my showers in order to get out as soon as possible. This morning I just wanted the hot water to keep pouring over me and never stop. I wanted it to just wash away everything.

At this point, I was already running late, but that wasn't the end. Today was one of those days where I hate everything I own. It is May 2nd and current 46 degrees Fahrenheit where I am. Is it winter? Is it spring? Is it warm? Is it cold? In Utah, you just can never quite predict. So, how am I supposed to dress? Should I dress to keep warm? Should I break out all my new Spring clothes that I really want to wear? I couldn't decide. On top of all that, I have to keep in mind every activity that I'll be doing tonight. I left my house at 5:30am and I probably won't be back till I'm ready to sleep. I've got to make sure I'm prepared, right? To make my morning a little more behind schedule, I ended up changing my outfit about 20 different times. The funny thing is the outfit I ended up wearing is an outfit that I three times decided not to wear. Did I hang any of the discarded items back up after deciding not to wear them? Of course not, I was running late. So now my bedroom floor is littered with discarded clothing items.

By the time I got dressed it was time to leave and I had pretty much done nothing with my hair except comb product through it. My hair is naturally pretty straight and very fine so its was already mostly dry except in the back. I decided in the interest of getting out of the door quickly, I'd just straighten my fringe. If you know me, you know that I pretty much never leave the house without doing my hair or makeup. Running out to the car sure was fun, I could feel my wet hair wanting to freeze.

With a morning like this, its a wonder that I don't look like a transient off the streets.
Its a good thing I'm so paranoid about being late, my over-planning on time really paid off today. I got to practice right as the clock turned to 6:00.
No sweat.

I ♥ thunderstorms.

Rain is boring.
Give me some thunder and lightning any day.

I've been feeling quite blah with the weather today. Rain, sleet, snow, hail. Not thrilling in the least.
The second I heard thunder however, I got a spark of excitement.

I can't explain it.

Weekend recap.

So I had a pretty busy weekend. You might have noticed due to the lack of updates on here.

Friday night, Sean and I went to our favorite dinner spot for some yummy chinese. After dinner we received our fortune cookies. I have heard somewhere that you're supposed to eat the fortune cookie before you read the fortune, so I follow that rule. However Sean was for some reason rushing me to read my fortune. I gobbled up my cookie and read my fortune. It read, "You and your wife will be happy in your life together." I told Sean what it said and he laughed and said, "You're joking right?" I replied that I was not joking, that apparently I was a lesbian. He told me he got the exact same fortune and that he had thought it was funny that his fortune mentioned wife, given the events of the last few weeks.


Saturday morning was beautiful. The weather was super nice, therefore it was a lovely day to be at the MS Walk. My cheer girls were volunteering at the walk. So we spent the morning enjoying the blue sky outside at The Gateway. It was really nice to see how many people showed up there to participate in the walk.




Later on Saturday, I went up to Park City with some girlfriends. We went out to dinner at Squatters and went dancing at Harry O's. The night was super fun despite some minor drama that involved losing my car key and the condo key. Luckily, and I never thought I'd say this, one of the girls had gone out on the balcony to have a smoke and accidentally left the door open. Because of that, we were able to get back into the condo. There was still the matter of me not having a way to drive home in the morning, so Sean was nice enough to rescue us by going to my house, finding my spare key and driving it up to me in Park City. He is so awesome and I'm lucky to have him. Thanks to him I was able to drive back down to the valley and enjoy a beautiful Sunday.
Pictures from this night to come...

I went and visited at my dad's house where my little brother was showing of his collection of nerf weaponry.

Later I went to Sean's for sunday dinner. After dinner we all spent some time outside where I ended up playing catch with Sean's brother in high heels. The funniest part of that was Sean's sister thought that I played softball until she saw me throw. The best way to describe how I throw would be "like a girl".

Good times!

A day in the life...

So today has been a strange one for me.

Last night I stayed up really late talking with a certain someone. I'm pretty sure I feel into a non-continuous sleep around 1 am. Now, this is late for me on a regular day, but today was a different kind of day for me. Today was my first day assistant coaching a cheer squad. Practice for this team is at 6 am, so I had to be out of bed by 4:15 am. You can do the math for that, you'll only need one hand to figure out how much sleep I got. So needless to say, I'm tired.

The next unusual circumstance, the weather. I have the weather sent to my phone every evening. It usually pretty accurate, however their forecast for today was a high of 49 and partly cloudy. Yeah, I didn't know it was going to snow. What a fun surprise! The roads were a mess on the way to practice. I was pretty nervous so I was taking it slow, but people were following me much too close for comfort and then passing me so I got off that road as to not impede traffic. My alternative route turned out to be relatively free of cars at that early morning hour, however it was not plowed. I was cruising along comfortably when all of the sudden I no longer had control of my car. I was rapidly sliding of the road towards the curb. My thoughts: "Oh crap, I don't want to fix this piece of crap car again!" Luckily, right as I was about to go up and over the curb into a fence and possibly into a house, I regained control. I was still shaking after I was safely in the gym at practice. I averted disaster!

Practice also turned out to be great. I was a little nervous for many reasons, but there was no need for nervousness. Wendy is an extremely organized and intelligent person and that makes it easy to work under her. It was fun to see this new squad learning and working together for the first time. They made a lot of progress for even just one day. It was great! I'm really looking forward to the next practice.

...but now, its 4 pm and I'm burnt out for today. Guess what? I still get to go to panty hell tonight though. Don't be jealous!

Rain and then some...

So yesterday was rather dark and dreary for most of the day. Just as I was getting home the sun started to come out, even though it was still raining. We all know what that adds up to...


It was a full rainbow. I know it doesn't show up too well on this picture. Oh well, I tried.

I hope more of these show up this weekend.

Typical Utahn

Yeah, I'm one of them.
A Utahn.
Its 45 degrees outside right now. Its sunny and bright.



I called it warm.
I went to lunch without my coat.


At this point I might as well put on my shorts and flip-flops. I'm pretty much there anyway.
If you go out in public today in Utah, look around. I'll bet you'll see plenty of people walking around just like that.

Its days like this that make me feel like I just can't wait till spring!
