It's a beautiful day and nothing to do....

So I am blogging! Woohoo!!!! I really have no idea what I am going to write so we'll see what happens. I've been in a rather "deep thinking" mood lately and last night I spit out a great deal of my thoughts into my journal for several hours. I almost considered posting it but changed my mind because I rather talk of much sillier things..... Like chocolate chip cookie bars! Guess who has been craving them.....ME and I have more than ONE day off this week to make them.....YAY!!!!!!! *cheering with hands clasped, waving from side to side*

Anywhoo.....I have decided to write my thought process in a few minutes:

To start, it is gorgeous out today and I REALLY wanna take pictures but all my "models" are preoccupied with work or school. =[ I am tempted to dig out my remote and shoot myself (wow that sounded odd....), I have only ever done that once....and the pictures turned out well I think. Maybe I should.....but then I'd feel vain and that is no good.....but it's pretty out, a lovely 45 degrees! Given there is wind but I can't complain, it's warm enough for me. Glad I'm not in Idaho right now....

Though I do LOVE Idaho. Ah Idaho....good times.....6 1/2 weeks until I go back! I like to think it is Friday and then I can round down to 6 because 6 seems SO small, but 7 seems big.....why is that??? Weird. Ah but weird is good like the awesome weird and AWESOME music Yutsil gave me today! Though it didn't all transfer, I'll get the rest Thursday. I am psyched after the first mix she made me. My music library is gonna rock! And then I can dance around like a total goof and have a blast while doing so. Ah I want a dance party!

Maybe if Kris isn't busy after work we shall have to go have a mini little dance party with our silly selves like we did 2 weeks ago when we went downtown. Random little dance parties are the best. The carefree, "I am having fun so deal with it" feeling is great and worth the silliness. Besides, why do we ever care about what the strangers that we'll probably never see again think about us anyway? Exactly, we shouldn't care. And that is why I love goofing off, plus everyone is secretly jealous of all the fun you're having while they're miserable and boring.....well that or that you're a crazy loony.

But yes, actually Yutsil would dance with me too. She is adorable, I wish I was as adorable as she is. I also wish I could sing like her but that is for another story for another day. I love hanging out with her. She's one of those people you can sit down for hours and never have a moment of silence but also never have a one way conversation (yes I know I can talk anyone's ear off except maybe my Aunt Bobby or my mother). But Yutsil is one of those few people that can keep up with me, and puts in equally as much to the conversation as I do and we NEVER run out of things to talk about ever. In all honestly we ALWAYS run out of time before we run out of things to say. Do you not love people like that??? All the same, it helps that she has a very similar mindset to me in beliefs, in morals and all around girly yet somewhat logical topics. I mean we still disagree like normal human beings but we don't fight over anything. Overall I am wondering why I didn't get to really know her sooner and hoping we stay good friends. I'm glad I'm getting to know her now though, even if it's bad timing but heaven knows I seem to make friends with people at the last minute more than not lately.

But yeah I guess that is just what is on my mind today. That and I think I may go hang out with my mother. Gosh I love her! She is amazing and more than anything I just wanna hang out with her all the time lately but it seems our schedules tend to conflict. =[

But we did get to watch Revenge of the Bridesmaids on netflix today. (Catherine go watch it RIGHT NOW!) Everyone else, well....watch it if you're a girl or don't mind somewhat silly chick flicks.

Yeah that's life. Hope you're all having a WONDERFUL DAY! Smiling for 10 seconds will make you and everyone else feel a little better. SMILE!!! Life is an adventure, enjoy the happy moments and learn from the hard ones but don't ever give up. And at the end of the day I hope you've learned and laughed.

I'm awake in the afternoon
Fell asleep in the living room
It's one of those moments
When everything is so clear

Memories, Memories

Okay so before I get to the picture frenzy that came from my photography nightmares last night and my gratefulness that they weren't real, I must tell you the CUTEST story ever!

Today at work this little girl (probably around 5 years old), blonde hair, blue eyes, came up to me and asked what she could get with the change in her hand. Looking down, she was holding about 6 pennies. (The cheapest things we have are 75 cents). Jay (The janitor, this big black guy who happens to be the biggest, sweetest teddy bear you'll ever meet) notices this little girls' dilemma. So he walks over and asks if she would like a smoothie. She nods, clearly excited by the idea. Jay says he will pay for it. I ask her which one she wants (but not really being able to read, she chooses the first one I mention, giddy as can be). So I start to make her smoothie and her eyes get huge with excitement. You know, the wide, adorable eyes that only kids can make? Yeah.

As I am making it, one of the life guards comes up to get a smoothie too. As she is standing there waiting, the little girl looks up at her, then points to the smoothie and says "That one is mine!!!" The life guard laughs and agreed that she is getting a good smoothie. So I finish the smoothie and then hand it to her. She thanks me and bounces off happy as could be. I turned to Jay and thanked him for his kindness.

And yeah so that basically just made my heart melt! She was so cute and Jay was so sweet and it made my whole night worth it. After all the other frustrating customers, she was my favorite and she made my whole night better. Plus it is nice to know there is still some compassion left in this world. It reminds me of that show Undercover Boss. They seem to find the NICEST people as employees and often I feel the same way. I am surrounded by the sweetest, kindest people at work and I love it, it makes work a WHOLE lot easier. =]

Okay onto my picture frenzy. For the record I do have photography nightmares about losing my memory card after getting a new camera & finding every other size and shape memory card BUT mine. Or not having my camera for an AMAZING photography opportunity. I wake up gasping and depressed, and then glad that it wasn't real. So I felt it was clearly time to pull out my camera.

I finally started using my weights again! And doing sit-ups and all that good stuff.

My awesome bag that I love! Can you spot my sudoku book?
(My Kenken book was in the living room this morning)

I cleaned my room and my bed is made =D
Seeing this makes me want to jump on it, how about you?

This is me dressing down, and bored. Waiting for mom to finish her stuff so we can watch a MOVIE! (We watched a B&W Lucile Ball murder mystery, it was AWESOME)

This just kinda looked cool. =]

Grr?

So my thought process here is "I love my camera! HUGS!"
(I also love hugs!)

Been working on my scripture study. I kinda got out of practice when I came home. But I'm improving. =] It's called "learning to go to bed at a decent hour and planning accordingly".

My shoe fell like this and I thought it was pretttttttty awesome!

Side view!

ZOOM!

Picture frenzy. Love of shoes, love of photography. Enough said.

And again!

Fun with DoF (Depth of Field)

Gonna wipe off the dust and put these to good use.

Random picture collage on my floor! Because I can!

Ah the memories from all those projects! It makes me want to go take pictures RIGHT NOW!!
I love photography SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much! If I could hug it, I would!
Also I am taking some of these with me to decorate my bedroom when I go back to Idaho. =]
