Trina: Do you know how long you have to go to school to become a lawyer?
Curly Sue: No.
Trina: 20 years.

Bill Dancer: Look, no swearing, no gambling, no spitting, no punching, and no kicking, all right?
Curly Sue: Put a sock in it, I know what I'm doing.
Curly Sue: We wouldn't even be talking about this if you'd gotten some money out of that lady, we'd be on the road. You didn't because she was too pretty.
Bill Dancer: She was too smart.
Curly Sue: And she was too pretty.
Bill Dancer: She was in a hurry.
Curly Sue: And she was too pretty.
Bill Dancer: She was going to catch onto us.
Curly Sue: And she was too pretty.
Bill Dancer: You're pretty, and I don't leave you alone.
Curly Sue: She was too pretty. Curly Sue: I hate the art museum.
Bill Dancer: Will it hurt you to learn a thing or two?
Curly Sue: All you learn from the art museum is how to keep your mouth shut and how to walk without making squeaky sounds with your shoes.

Bill Dancer: You can cry and not feel sad, just like you can feel sad and not cry. Grey Ellison: Want us to walk you inside?
Curly Sue: No, I got it, but thanks for asking.
Bill Dancer: Give us a kiss.
Curly Sue: Please, we're in public.
Bill Dancer: Good luck.

(This is one of those movies I remember watching when I was younger. I remember the part where she is eating that pizza and licks those fingers after she is done. I do that because of this movie. I definitely need to see it again)

Confesion Wednesday

Um....Do you remember when this happened???
I am concerned...
Ugh!
Hitting a bird I could not really see was no big deal. I just saw white.
When you hit a rabbit with Mom I was not there.
But tonight...
Really?!?!
I know I joke around about it.
But I was hoping you weren't serious.
I must say I am concerned.
That poor cat!
Ugh....it makes me so sad!

Weekend Update

I can't believe it is already Sunday. Sad!

Friday, was Ty's game against Perry. We should have won. That is all I am going to say about that. I hung out with my friend Amanda (Bond) and we went to TGIFriday's. I love that place. We came back and hung out till late. I was getting delirious for being up so late. It was funny.

Saturday I had two Halloween parties to attend (pictures below). The first was our Stake YSA party. It was fun. Made some pizza and played some games. I left there early to go to another Halloween Party at Sean and Samantha's. I love going over there and hanging out with that group. So fun!

Today was our Primary Program. That was fun. I think Amanda and I have the best class. (shh...don't tell anyone that though). I just made some delicious cupcakes and will be having game night here later.

I am kind of sad that Monday is so close.

{My costume...a dark angel}

{Me and Amanda Bond, she was an 80's beauty contestand}

{Me and Amanda Branson...who did NOT dress up :(}{Sara (the pirate) and I}{Some of the girls...Amanda, Amanda, Me, Mccall, and Stefanee}{Jadon (samurai) and I}

Hope you all had a lovely weekend...Can't wait to hear about it!

I hope you have a GREAT day!!!!

{P.S. I think we need some new pictures of us}

Confession Wednesday

Do you watch the Biggest Loser?
There is/was a girl on there, Dina, who had this thing where she just could not jump on this stool.
Because of whatever fear she had she just could not do it.
As I watched her struggle with this. I thought of my own issue at the gym.
And for whatever reason I have this thing about running on the treadmill.
Not because I can’t run. I ran when we used to go to the track.
But because of fear I guess. I don’t want people watching me. Seeing me run.
So running in a room full of people, on a treadmill, kind of freaks me out.
I don’t know why.
And yesterday after a lot of self talking.
I did it.
I ran.
Not for long.
But I ran.
Because the issue is not the running part.
But just getting the courage to do it.

Weekend Update

This weekend was fabulous!!!!
{cough, cough} I was sick on Friday...you know with the flu or something...maybe food poisoning.
Anywho...Thursday Mom and I went to Old Navy and they were having a great sale on the clearance where they took an additional 50% off...so after looking through all their clearance I found some cute shirts. Some of which I got for $1.50 each. AMAZING! Callie came thursday night to spend the weekend with us!

Friday we took her to a different Old Navy and found some more clearance items. A couple pairs of pants for $7.50 each. YAY! I love good deals! We then went to Target. I saw these footie pajamas in a distance and knew we had to try them on. So funny!

{Me, Mom, and Callie}

I do believe I was laughing so hard that I snorted {no I am not ashamed of it}
Friday night was Ty's football game against Westwood. We lost, but they did a good job!

{Me, Mom, and Callie practicing our goofy face}

Saturday, was the day. We met up with the same crew from last time at Mi Amigo's {where I ate way too much chips and salsa} we then headed over to Hale Theater where we saw 'Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.' It was fantastic. I loved it. It was neat to see the lead acctress who played Anna in the King and I also play Millie. She also broke her foot opening night and was doing the show with a cast on. You couldn't really even tell.
Afterwards we went out for dessert. And I had WAY too much.

{Mom, Grandma Burklund, Me, Callie, Allison, Olga, Sheryl, and Erin}

{Me, Millie, Callie, Adam, and Mom}

{Callie and I trying to make goofy faces, somehow it came out angry goofy}

It was so much fun. I can't wait till we do it again!
I hope you all had a LOVELY weekend!

New Purse

I got this absolutely cute...{to die for}...purse!!!!
I saw it on a friends Etsy shop and knew at once I had to have it.
I {heart} all things with bows!
Go check out their Etsy shop
Peace.Love.N.Polkadots

Movie Quote Friday!

Enchanted

Narrator: Once upon a time, in a magical kingdom known as Andalasia, there lived an evil queen. Selfish and cruel, she lived in fear that one day her stepson would marry and she would lose her throne forever. And so she did all in her power to prevent the prince from ever meeting the one special maiden with whom he would share true love's kiss.
Giselle: Why are you staring at me?
Robert: I don't know. It's just that... it's like you escaped from a Hallmark card or something.
Giselle: Is that a bad thing?
Giselle: Nobody has been very nice to me.
Robert: Yeah, well, welcome to New York.
Giselle: Thank you.
_________________________________________________________
Giselle: Now if only I can find a place to rest my head for the night.
Robert Philip: What kind of place?
Giselle: I don't know. Maybe a nearby meadow or a hollow tree.
Robert Philip: A hollow tree?
Giselle: Or a house full of dwarves. I hear they're very hospitable.
Giselle: [after Robert knocks on the bathroom door] Hello?
Robert: Okay, you know what? You gotta go. Look, I don't know what your deal is, if you're waiting around for Prince Charming or you're just...?
Giselle: Prince Edward.
Robert: Whatever. Look, I'll get you to a bus, a train, a plane, a whatever, then, that's it. After that, I can't... I can't get involved after that.
[Giselle emerges from the bathroom in a bright blue dress]
Robert: Where did you get that?
Giselle: I made it. Do you like it?
[Robert notices dress-shaped holes in his curtains, and looks quite shocked]
Giselle: You're unhappy.
Robert: *You made a dress out of my curtains*?
Giselle: Oh, you are unhappy!
Prince Edward: [talking to a TV] Magic Mirror. I beg you. Tell me where she is!
Mary Ilene Caselotti: [on TV] Reporting from 116th and Broadway.
Prince Edward: One hundred and sixteenth and Broadway!
[hugs the TV]
Prince Edward: Thank you mirror!
[kisses it and runs off]
Robert: You know most normal people get to know each other before they get married. They date.
Giselle: Date?
Robert: Yeah, you know. Date.
[Giselle shakes her head not understanding]
Robert: You go someplace special, like a restaurant, or a movie, or museum, or you just hang out and you talk.
Giselle: What do you talk about?
Robert: About each other. About yourself. About your interests, your likes your dislikes, you talk.
[both laugh]
Giselle: Oh, you have such strange ideas about love.
Robert: Maybe we should just do what you do. You meet, you have lunch, and you get married.
Giselle: Oh, you forgot about happily ever after.
Robert: Forget about happily ever after, it doesn't exist.
Giselle: [after Robert has cured her, with love's true kiss] I knew it was you.
[kisses him again]

Giselle: Dreams do come true.

expressing in words

One of the neatest things about blogging is how you can get to know and relate to other bloggers out there. I have been fortunate enough to get to know Meg...I think this woman is amazing. She is so inspiring and such a great writer. She is the one who inspired me to write those letters to 'future husband.' I have been thinking a lot lately on a couple things and she posted the thoughts I was having a hard time expressing.

Check out her post HERE

The thought entered my mind a couple weeks ago that, what if I am sharing too much on my blog? and what if he sees it? I don't think I am prepared for him to read any of it. It is quite personal. And I think it might just scare him. So I have been kind of hesitant in posting letters to him. I have written a couple. But they just sit there as drafts.

I have also been thinking a lot on finding him {someday.}

And lately that thought scares me. And I can't quite express why. And I just go back to how Meg said it,

"so you've been traveling all your life in search of this person and then you find them and it's halting--that metaphorical slamming of the brakes. halting? no, not the right word. i mean the force of that stop--traumatic at best. and yes, it's thrilling and yes it's the beginning of everything, but in that moment and the immediate aftermath, i imagine it's nothing short of utterly terrifying"

and that is exactly how I have been feeling. that while it will be exciting I think, I know, I will be terrified at the same time. because in that moment. everything changes.

{Thank you Meg!}

Confession Wednesday

Shoes make me happy sometimes.

Movie Quote Friday!

Chocolat

Storyteller: Once upon a time, there was a quiet little village in the French countryside, whose people believed in Tranquilité - Tranquility. If you lived in this village, you understood what was expected of you. You knew your place in the scheme of things. And if you happened to forget, someone would help remind you. In this village, if you saw something you weren't supposed to see, you learned to look the other way. If perchance your hopes had been disappointed, you learned never to ask for more. So through good times and bad, famine and feast, the villagers held fast to their traditions. Until, one winter day, a sly wind blew in from the North...
Vianne Rocher: What do you see in it?
Armande Voizin: Not a damned thing.
Vianne Rocher: Come on, it's a game. What do you see?
Armande Voizin: I see a cranky old woman too tired to play games.
Vianne Rocher: Hmm. I've got just the thing for you.
Vianne Rocher: And these are for your husband. Unrefined cacao nips from Guatemala, to awaken the passions.
Yvette Marceau: Psshh. You've obviously never met my husband.
Vianne Rocher: Well, you've obviously never tried these.
_____________________________________________________________
Père Henri: [hearing confession] What else?
Guillaume Blerot: Impure thoughts. The woman who runs the chocolaterie...
Père Henri: Vianne Rocher?
Guillaume Blerot: She suggested I buy chocolate sea shells for the widow Audel. And, well... I guess that got me to thinking, about the widow Audel.
Père Henri: At her age? At *your* age?
Guillaume Blerot: Yes, and yes.
Roux: How's the door?
Vianne Rocher: It squeaks.
Roux: Does it?
_____________________________________________________________
Roux: I'll come 'round sometime and get that squeak out of your door. Serge: We are still married, in the eyes of God.
Josephine: Then He must be blind.
________________________________________________________
Roux: I thought you'd never guess. My favourite - hot chocolate.
Roux: I should probably warn ya: you make friends with us, you make enemies with everyone else.
Vianne Rocher: Is that a promise?
Roux: It's a guarantee.
_____________________________________________________________
Yvette Marceau: Do you have more of those bean thingies, please?
Vianne Rocher: Oh, sure. Um... How many do you want?
Yvette Marceau: How many have you got? Père Henri: I'm not sure what the theme of my homily today ought to be. Do I want to speak of the miracle of Our Lord's divine transformation? Not really, no. I don't want to talk about His divinity. I'd rather talk about His humanity. I mean, you know, how He lived His life, here on Earth. His *kindness*, His *tolerance*... Listen, here's what I think. I think that we can't go around... measuring our goodness by what we don't do. By what we deny ourselves, what we resist, and who we exclude. I think... we've got to measure goodness by what we *embrace*, what we create... and who we include.

{I absolutely love Johnny Depp in this movie.
Its probably my favorite look of his.
I do wish he was in the movie more}

AHA!

The hardest thing about changes that happen with losing weight is realizing it when you look in the mirror. Yeah, I can stand on a scale and see the number. I can see the change in pant size. However, in my head, I frequently still see myself the way I was.

It’s when those AHA! moments come that things are put into perspective. I had one of those moments the other night at Ty’s choir concert. Sitting in the auditorium. The same one I sat in at various assemblies when I went there for High School. The same seats that seemed ever so small and oh so uncomfortable. But. As I sat down the other night to listen to his concert I noticed a change. I sat comfortably. I fit, with room to spare. And it felt good.

Confession Wednesday

Sometimes I get worn out going to all the activities for us YSA’s.
Sometimes it is just too much.
FHE on Monday, Institute during the week, whatever various activities on the weekend, and Firesides and Games on Sunday nights.
I find I am really good at going to it ALL for awhile.
But then I get tired and worn out.
And I find that sometimes I don’t have the umph to go to some of those things.
I am feeling like that right now.
I hope to snap out of it…Soon!

Weekend Update

This weekend was CARRAZZY!!! {yes, say it like that}
Friday, Tylon had a game against Mountain Pointe in Phoenix Friday night. Mountain Pointe was undefeated {they still are} but Ty did a great job! Randon met us out there for the second half of the game.

Saturday, we ran a lot of errands. Mom and I went with Randon to help pick out a suit. Mom and I then went to Ribbons & Lace…and I did not buy a single thing. That was the shortest amount of time I have ever spent in that store. We then went to visit Grandma for her birthday. We got home just in time to see the boys off to priesthood session and in time to meet Callie who was coming from Flagstaff. We hit the store in search of some goodies {aka…chocolate}. We spent most of the night chit chatting about various things {I love that!}.

Sunday we were able to tune into General Conference. I loved it! I can’t wait to get the conference edition of the Ensign to read and mark up for myself. There was more chit chat, nails being painted, and games played. It was a great weekend!

And the weather has changed. Seriously seemed to drop a good 20 degrees. I don’t get that. Since the weekend, instead of using the AC on the way to work I am using the heater. {And by chance if I go to my car to take a nap while at work, it’s much too cold, the blanket doesn’t cut it, neither does the sweater I wear} And yes I know I am a wimp, but hey, I work with the triple digit temps in the summer…67 is a bit cold to me.

Hope you had a lovely weekend!

{oh and the nail polish lasted approx. 41 hours}

Honest Scrap

Micaela passed this along to me... The Honest scrap Award
I am supposed to share 10 honest/random things with you all.
And I have been thinking all weekend of things to share.
I guess this is like a confession Wednesday on crack.
So enjoy.

1. When I am tired I am so irritable. I just want to cry {and it so easily happens}
when I am that tired.

2. When I was younger (maybe still) I would get so homesick. When I spent the night at my friends and it was time to go to bed I just wanted to be back home. I even felt this way when I would stay the night at my Grandma's I just wanted to be home, with my parents and in my own bed. I think sometimes I am still like that.

3. I love pigs. I collect them. I have some pig stuffed animals and a few pig figurines.

4. I used to HATE the color pink. My mom assigned us colors growing up. So our bath towels and our cups {and various other things} were in our color. My color was pink. When I was a teenager I got so tired of the color pink. But don't worry...It is back to being my favorite. We made up!

5. I have an obsession with shoes and purses.

6. My fingernails are painted a bright red right now and I absolutely love it!
I hope it lasts longer than 24 hours!

7. I have listened to 'Pride and Prejudice' 3 times in the past couple months. I never tire of it. I get the same butterflies every time I read it. I love when books can do that.

8. I feel like I am in a listening slump with music. And I hate it. I can't think of anything to listen to. Nothing sounds appealing. So I just tune into the radio. Maybe something will catch my ear soon. Because I am not liking this.

9. I have a huge issue trusting people. I feel like many people have taking advantage of me. Even people who I would have never thought in my life would do it to me. Have. So I have a hard time putting myself out there and getting close to people because of this fear that it will happen again. {Which I know is not right, I am working on it}

10. In a group of people I am the audience (aka the listener).
I am definitely not the performer (aka the talker). That's just how I am.

I would like to pass this along too...Jessica at Reynolds Wrap
Ashley at {Let Go, Laughing}Samantha at Grace FamilyNatalie at Reheis Ramblings
Single Girl at (yes) iM Single
