HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY SISTER DEAR!

Why is this little cheese-ball grinning a lemony grin from ear to ear you ask?

Oh,

Was it because of the delicious perfume she got from her favorite sister and Kirk?

Or maybe it had something to do with that traveling masseuse Jason hired for a day of relaxation and luxury... right in the comfort of her home.

It probably was directly related to the ceasar salad con fresh LEMON juice. (A favorite)

Combined with homemade angel food cake topped with fresh strawberries and whipped cream.

I mean,

REALLY,

Who knows at this point.

All I know is that she may or may not kill me for posting these pictures of her.

And also that this little chica BONITA had a WONDERFULLY blissful

21st Birthday!

Spent with many laughs,

Too many diet cokes,

And great friends and family.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SISTER!

I LOVE YOU!

SendMeScripture.com

Ladies and gentlemen,

Get excited.

There is a new website out there called, www.sendmescripture.com

This is a fabulous website that Mr. Kirk Ouimet himself designed and created because he decided he was too lazy to open his scriptures and read from them daily. It's ok, I still heart you Kirk :) This website allows you to subscribe and receive a text or email of a random scripture from any volume (Book of Mormon, Bible, etc.) You can also choose the time -- up to 5 times a day -- and there is your little spiritual thought for the day right at your fingertips.

Let me just tell you that I have already signed up for it and am taking full advantage of the features this website has to offer. I highly recommend it to those who are finding it hard to set aside the time to read the scriptures or for those who just want that little spiritual "umph" to keep the day going on a good note.

So, are you excited now?

I know I am!

Thank you Kirk.

PURPLE

This season I am enjoying purple. I have painted my toenails this color. And I am seriously considering painting my fingernails a similar color.

I think the last time I liked purple was in 3rd grade and my best friend Brittany and I would tell everyone that it was our favorite color. It's been a good 14 years since I have called purple a favorite and I believe it is time for me to bring it back. I won't be painting my room purple any time soon but I will be incorporating it into my daily wardrobe. Maybe even put a few purple things in my room. It may clash with my current tranquil, spa-like greens, topes and blues but who cares?

Matching is SO overrated.

Are you afraid of heights?

Well apparently MY FLY is!

Ok.

Don't judge me...

BUT

I have been catching my zipper down almost every single day I wear jeans. HAHA!

I don't know where this came from or why exactly it started.

This is not something I normally do or something that I even accidentally do.

It just started and now I'm doing it all the time! As if I am too lazy or in too much of a hurry to zip up my jeans.

I mean, I cut it pretty close every morning but who knew I didn't have the time to put the finishing touches on my los jeans.

I am kind of embarrassed but mostly weirded out by myself.

if you're wondering...

If I have a secret admirer the answer is an astounding and intense YES:

Hi,

You don't know me, and I don't know you. And this is going to seem really bizarre. I was browsing people on here though and came across your page today. Truth me told, all I can say is I have seen shooting stars and have been a witness to many a miracle, but never have my eyes beheld nor have my ears heard of such a beautiful heaven sent angel. Now that I've embarrassed the crap out of myself I'll stop.

Just stating my mind,

A friend

Who are you my friend?

I found this today in my facebook inbox. Pretty original, right? Now, I am not trying to brag or boast about this admirer who, by the way, came off more creepy than anything else. I guess this was just so amusing that I felt the need to share with the family. Please enjoy.

BORING!

Have you been bored with my blog lately?

I believe it is about time for my blog to go through another little "face lift" if you will.

Just you wait and see what I've got up my sleeve for the revamping of this lovely blog page of mine.

I miss blogging.

I have been distracted by tumblr's and work.

I shall return.

I love you all!

happy.

and i was like...

"why are you so obsessed with me?" - Mariah Carey

Alright, I am not one of those people who doesn't like to tell other's what I am planning on dressing up as for Halloween. I was trying to think of something SUPER creative and witty and above all, never been done before.

After weighing all the options I fell upon the final idea of dressing up as...

A WITCH.

Some may say the suit fits. Or the boot fits. Or the hat fits, or the broom fits or what have you.
I don't mind. I am fully aware of the seemingly "witchy" characteristics I may possess.

But let me tell you how excited I am for my costume!

It will entail the following:

maybe some ruby-red slippers?

definitely one of these...

a black pettiskirt.

Some leggins'

to possibly reenact this:

I'm pretty sure I have been Dorothy at least 5 times growing up. I think it's time for me to branch out. I'll be the wicked witch of west... or east? Either way, I'm still stickin' to my favorite movie of all time.

the itsy bitsy...

...was caught creepin on me in the SHOWER.

Have some dignity and respect!

umm... I was so creeped out and grossed out and wanted to scream every time its little arms waved into the rain-like water falling from the shower head but,

shivers and gagging noises came out instead.

I HATE SPIDERS.

Ani hates germs.

I HATE SPIDERS

I HATE SPIDERS.

To the point where I literally cannot be in the same room or eye line with one or else I have a panic attack. I couldn't even google "spiders" to find an image for this post for fear that I will have nightmares tonight. WELL folks, I guess I just faced my worst fear because there I was, minding my own business, washing off the day, and I was interrupted by a tan spider that was literally STARING at me whilst in the shower. Mr. Charlotte's Web did not give me any privacy nor the decency to turn around... NOT TO MENTION, he was waving all of his tentacle-like arms at me as if to say "HEY! HEY! HEY! I can see you! And I MAY attack you." He even took a little trip down to my loofah sponge while he THOUGHT I wasn't looking but OH I saw him and I did scream as it climbed back up the one threaded line of web to safety.

UGHHHHH BLAHHH! shivers. EW. AH. I hate the fact that the spider was in my shower and now I need to buy a new loofah sponge because that one is tainted. AH.

Halloween is upon us. The spider said so.

SO SAITH THE SPIDAHH

sigh...

long sigh...

Fall is approaching. I mean, it may already be here. The skies are overcast and there is a slight breeze in the air. Here it is. Fall. What a lovely season. My soul delights in changing seasons.

Life has been a roller coaster these past few weeks.

I have decided to take another semester off school and devote a lot of my time to my job at Shade. That's right people, you are looking at the newest Assistant Manager of Shade Clothing.

I'm not going to lie, I actually quite enjoy it although my new boss, Tan sometimes scares me and since a recent episode of being late to work, those fears have only escalated. Don't worry, I'm working on my authority issues and things are slowly melding together.

My room is also slowly coming together. Things are up on the walls and it's almost complete. I still want to paint the furniture and get some curtains. Other than that, I am satisfied with my space. I love having my own bathroom and two closets. I don't mean to boast but, I am one lucky chica for all the space that I have.

Oh yeah, I highlighted my hair. Well, lowlights mixed with highlights. I enjoy it. Adds some dimension to my hair.

I find myself missing Washington and my home a lot. I already posted about this dilemma but I miss all my friends and my family and good food and autumn in Washington. Oh, I could totally go for some good sushi or Acapulco Fresh right now... mmMMMmmm.

So Halloween is coming up. Any good, creative costume ideas? I am stuck. I was thinking of just being a classic witch with awesome striped socks and a petticoat that puffs out not to mention a sweet broom and hat. I can't decide if I should go all out with a sweet nose and maybe even a green face -- mom style.

For those of you who do now know this, my mom used to dress up as a witch every Halloween when I was little and she would paint her face green and tell us that every Halloween her face would turn green and we would find out when we were older what that was like. Oh mom, I miss you!

So excuse my rambling and extensive nonsense.
