boobs.

Do not be offended by my title.
(And no, I will not have any sort of visual art for this post. Lo siento.)
Alls I want to say is I wish I could go back in time and take back that wish I made upon a star when I said, "I wish I would have boobs."
I was not such a wise 11-year old.

(well if we are wishing to go back in time, i probably would redo a few other things, but that is beside the point.)

In other news,
Here is an update on my freaking busy, crazy, emotional summer to-date. So much has happened and as much as I would enjoy making individual blog posts about everything, it would simply take wayyyy too much time. Let's be practical here, shall we?

-Just got back from Lake Powell for the FIRST time and I have to say that I LOVED IT! Everyone should go at least once in their lives. It is amazing. I have never seen anything like it and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat! Except maybe apply a little more sunscreen.
-Speaking of sunscreen, I totes fried my shoulders. Don't really know how that happened considering I applied the SPF 50 every 2 hours. (I want my skin to be YOUTHFUL) I guess I should have warmed up to some sun exposure before the trip.
-I have decided I need to do more fun outdoor things. I wish I had a bike to ride around and rock climbing gear. I want to be like that. On the trip I realized how old? out of shape? not fun? I am.
-I turned 23. What the WHAT? Let me tell you a little secret: When I was younger, I did not think this would be my life by 23. But, I also have to say that I am not really complaining a TON.
-My little sisters and madre came to Utah for a visit for 10 days. They go back home tomorrow and I miss them already. It was a tough goodbye. I didn't want them to leave.
-Ani and I found an AMAZE-balls apartment. (I heard someone say "amaze-balls" once and I thought it was hilarious so now I am saying it.) 2 bed, 2 bath and it will just be the two of us. Even though roommates are bomb.com, I am excited to see what it would be like with just Ani and I. We may kill each other. I do not know for sure.
-I had an epiphany concerning me. (Yes, yes so selfish.) Well, since growing up is something that cannot be avoided, I think I always thought I had to act like an adult. I mean, I am an adult but being an adult means I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT! So, if I want to title my blog post "boobs" I am going to. And if I want to say "amaze-balls" then so be it. Who do I have to answer to but myself and my own conscience. It is currently 3:24 am and I still have no real intentions to go to sleep. And every intention of sleeping until I feel the need to wake up tomorrow. Because I am an adult and I can do whatever I want.
-I swear I'm responsible when needed.
-I am digging being tan. I should keep up with that.
-I am going back to Washington later this month to move my mom's things to California. Like I said, summer-of-too-much.
-Still wanting and planning on going to South Carolina to see Mindy. REALLY REALLY want to.
-I have taken up reading. A pass time I have overlooked in recent years. I am bringing it back into my life and I would like some recommendations. If any would like to tell me of some recent gems they have happened upon, do tell. It would be much appreciated.
-I am taking vitamin D. A supplement that is known to have some skin healing properties.
-I miss my best friends. You know who you are.
-My cable doesn't currently work in my room and I am going a little crazy. I need it at night. It's my comfort blanket.
-I found my seal that I used to sleep with since I was a baby. Of course it looks like some sort of rabid animal got to it and chewed half its face off. I still love it and it too calms my anxiety.
-Yes I am 23 and still enjoy my baby toy. Shut it.
New favorite song:
"Love the Way You Lie" Eminem Feat. Rihanna
I can't find the clean version of the song on youtube so I will not post it. But, it's bomb. I even kind of like the angry Eminem rap. Kinda.

Alix-Out.

I like the blog title. So... Alix? Anyway, here are some of my favorite books... Glass Castle, Love Walked In, Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, and I have also been enjoying the Hunger Games books. I'm in a book club (nerd alert!) so if you need any other recommendations you just let me know. Hugs and Kisses! :)
