it's the holiday season, oh woop dee doo!

remember this terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day?
well i do.
very clearly in fact.
it's weird to think that was already an entire YEAR ago!
so crazy!

but I am happy to report that this thanksgiving drive was MUCH better
and much quicker...
the 5 1/2 hour drive, went just as planned,
(although I did almost run out of gas...how is it that I got to Boise on a full tank with some to spare, and this time had to stop in snowville? thats over 100 miles difference?) whatever
it all worked out!

And it was a lovely Turkey weekend indeed!
I had to work the Mon, Tues, Wed before Thanksgiving (one of the perks of year round school) so my Boise visit was short and sweet, but it was definitely much needed.

Highlights include but are not limited to:

• gretchen watching Lion King and thinking "Mafoose" (muh-foo-s) is a good name for her first born
• A. thats a horrible name
• B. its MUFASA!!! seriously? just about died laughing.
• favorite quote of the weekend "Is there a difference between lesbians and homosapiens?" 
• a DVR full of lifetime/hallmark/abc family christmas movies just for me to watch
• turkey day at grandmas
• seeing family
• the tradition of black friday ads spread all over the floor after the turkey has been consumed
• this year actually GOING black friday shopping
• standing outside target for an hour
• standing inside the checkout line for 1.5 hours to buy my happy christmas tree
• trying to flirt with the guy standing in front of me, fail
• mall shopping at 2 am
• getting decked in the face by some IDIOT girl in the mall at 3 am
• literally yelling at above mentioned idiot girl, causing her to flee in sheer terror 
• feeling rather drowsy and delirious driving home
• more christmas movies friday morning
• christmas light hanging with father and samuel
• experiencing a real like clark griswold moment...blasted lights
• annual family christmas extravaganza till 1 am
• more decorating and light hanging
• more shopping
• chats with my ma
• another turkey dinner
• a beautiful drive home with glee christmas and bieber christmas music :)
• flirting with the starbucks man...thank you for making my day
• another turkey dinner, yummmm
• decking the halls at my apartment

oh how i LOVE the holiday season... dont you?

June 2, 2011

i felt as if i should make it known that on this day, the second of june, i found myself sitting at a little league baseball game, with frozen toes, goosebumps, my entire body freezing and running for a 7/11 hot cocoa as soon as the game was over.
when did june mean 46 degrees? with freezing wind? and had i known this was the case, i wouldnt have packed my coat and cozy ugg boats away back march! just saying. man, i just am at a loss. for cryin in the beercheese soup!!!!

but just fyi the game was way fun. 3 of my boys are on the team, and they are darling, so i went to see them play. i had a great time, and it was totally fun to finally see what they constantly talk about in class! plus i do love baseball, they were really excited for me to come, and the umpire was attractive, so all in all it was a glorious night.

p.s. these same 3 boys had a baseball tournament in vegas last weekend, and when they came back they were so excited to tell me about the eiffel tower in vegas. haha and one of them brought me back a paris mug, and yummy french cookies. A+ for him eh?

.oh i have the best job in the world.

bonjour belle neige

(i hope my french is correct...its been a while)

we have a gorgeous little snowfall happening in logan right now. not blizzardy, but enough to cover up the yucky brown snow thats on the ground. what makes me happy, is the fact that the same thing is going on in Paris today. absolutely gorgeous. its like paris is coming to me. and im perfectly fine with that.

spring?

Its Sunday afternoon...3 days from April 1st, and there is a good inch or 2 of snow outside. My first instinct is to complain...because usually the arrival of April means flowers and birds chirping, or even just rain for that matter...but as I look outside my window, I cant help but notice how beautiful it is. I love how the snow here always sticks to the trees and makes it look like frosting spread over everything...It really is a beautiful thing, even if it is horribly cold. I am determined to not complain about it anymore, even if I did already pack up my snow boots. Hopefully I can endure another couple days of this...as long as it doesnt turn into a couple more weeks of this :) haha I'm just eager for some color outside...but this is beautiful too...
