What if......???

Today I was killing time waiting for my next class to start and I was in the bookstore looking at the funny books, and I saw this book called "If...(Questions for the Game of Life)" and I started to read it, and I was laughing and having an epiphany all in a few lines of reading that book {partly because the night before I was asking kelly what questions she asks people to get to know them more, because I feel like the questions like "Whats your major?" or "Where you from?" are vital questions to get to know someone, but are oober boring.} So this book has questions like "If you could be one article of clothing, what would you be, and who would you want to belong to?" Its kind of funny, AND doesn't have any generic questions. Anyway...to the point!

So Me, Kelly, and a bunch of her friends were all eating lunch in the Nordic. And I was reading from this book and we were all talking about our answers in between questions and stuff. We were mingling, basically. SO anyhow, this awkward boy comes up and just stands at our table and stares at us {Super awkward, right?} OH THANK HEAVENS I had my book, because I hate moments like that {the socially awkward boy making us all feel really weird}. So I quickly thought, "why don't I read another question and make the boy seem welcome at our table? Also, it would make us feel less uncomfortable if he wasn't lingering." So I asked a question he, mumbled an answer along with everone else. Then he walked away.


THE POINT people is that this book saved me and my friends from a really awkward moment and maybe some potential teasing all within short time frame from when I bought it to when awkward moment happened was an hour! woot!

Cinco de MAYO!

What a fun party! The night started out with me and kelly being the only ones dressed up {costumes were required :)} but we made panchos out of fabric that we got at DI!

Kelly was a woman wrestler {and you can't really see it--but she had fringe under her arms too!}

I was a salsa dancer!

We bought lots of margarita glasses and {kelly is an expert on alcohol} had tequila shots {which were sprite with gummy worms}

There was also a PIGata that chris made, and a mexi-stache contest. {the guys arms were behind thier back, and the girls had to draw a stache from behind}

Here are some pictures...

These were of the 'stache contest

I may have a new fettish....

....or it may be a new obsession. Ta-da!
Earrings~i have 38 pairs!

They are so versatile! They totally spruce up an outfit. Plus they are totally communal in sharing- you don't have to be a certain size to wear them! (unlike shoes or clothes) ahh......I don't think I have ever felt guilty for buying earrings. Nope, not ever! I recently just bought those two new pairs (in the pic.) and I love them! Also, all the things you see below are items that I got at a flea market. The necklace and flower clip are both HAND MADE!!! woot. She formed the rose out of clay, and the clip she buys her fabric, singes the egdes and put them together! ahh... I love shopping highs. =)

Domestic

I feel so very domestic today! Well first off, I passed my math test (wich was a relief) then I made Fajitas (I always have trouble thinking of stuff to buy at the grocery store...!) They were AMAZING!!! They may have even tasted better becuase I made them. {not to sound conceded- but you know what I mean if you have ever been in a cooking-rut like me =)} Then I felt so good about passing my test that I made some tapioca pudding {I get a big F for this one} It didn't turn out quiet right, it was frothly on top and pudding-like on bottom. So I went from being Domestic to Undomestic in just a few short hours.

Extra Credit

A couple of weeks ago my Book Of Mormon teacher sent out an email telling all of his students "due to a increase of the stress level at school, I am now having EXTRA CREDIT meditation sessions. Meditation is one of the best-stress relievers out there"
In my mind I was like, "whoa, this is sweet, getting EC for meditating?!?! This is waaaay cool" {not to mention very hippie, which is awesome! :)}
Going to these weekly 1-hour sessions have been soo good for me! They are a great way to stop, pause, and be still. You can think more clearly, be more forgiving, let go of grudges, and many more things to make your life more functional.
And right now, since it is my first semester at school, I have been having a little bit of stress being out on my own and turning a new page {grocery shopping, budgets, homework, social life, callings}. And since its my first semester I'm not the best at time management, so I feel like there is not enough time for me, because 90% of my waking hours are spent doing homework. But the 1-hour session is working wonders!! It seems like after I have gone to that I have more time to do things, which is REALLY amazing. And that is my meditation story

Yummy!

Ok, so I was making truffles (which are delicious!) and I had to roll them in my hands, and Kelly just happened to be there. :) You can see them on the table right behind Kelly's head, they aren't rolled in powdered sugar yet, so they look gross-ish.

New chapter in life!

Here is what has been happening in my life lately.... I LOVE it up here!! Even if it does get just a {little} cold sometimes, it totally adds to it {somehow..}

night skiing at Kelly Canyon, with my new BF Tracie it was schweet.

Here I am scraping the ice off from the inside of my friends car.... it was cold that night!
