Wednesday's Witty Words of the Week

"I believe in Mermaids so, it's cool."

-Vicky

I think I was talking about witches or something and I clearly was joking when I said, "I think I'm really a witch." I am not. Although, what girl at one point in her life didn't wish to be a Sabrina Spellman [minus the black cat of course]??   Well, she REALLY responded with that ^ comment.  haha. Mermaids? oh Vicky..


I found this shirt; you should buy it.

"I'm not going to kiss him dirty!"
-Vicky to Nieko and I who may or may not have been giving her some unsolicited tips on kissing.
Someday, I just need to take a video of one whole night of us just being...well, us.  We're a good time.  "Just do it like this...Open your mouth a little." -Nieko.  haha. classic.


"I feel like you're directing a porno or something."
-Liz
The funny part about this was that it was 3 AM and, although it was just him setting up a "kissing scene," I can see why she felt a little odd. To the people who know what I'm talking about.. "you just need to get it over with."  muahahahahaha.


"Write it down. April 14th. Easton Roberts prophesies it."
-Easton
Ok, what he was saying in itself about him thinking that Liz would be a bad mom wasn't funny, but I couldn't help but laugh and feel a little uncomfortable at the fact that he got SO into his comment that he said we needed to write it down... oh geez.  haha. For the record, Liz, I think you'll be a GREAT mom!


"Hey Easton..?"-Cole said in super serious tone while everyone else was silent at our "camp out" trying to get some more sleep after breakfast.
"What?" -Easton
"Quit playing with your dingy!" -Cole instantly played his Tommy Boy Quote App.
I honestly think I died laughing for a good 5 minutes.  Mostly all by myself because I seem to be the only one who thought it was THAT funny.  Have you not seen Tommy Boy, people?  How are we friends? ...Maybe I had a bit of a "Party Hosting Hangover" but it was funny.  Still is.


"That hot sauce drink burnt the crap out of my poor lips."-Me
"...You should do that to your lips more often; They look really good." -Nieko
haha. He and Vicky both kept telling me that there was nothing wrong with my lips but that they actually looked good. I guess I have to thank Topher for the disgusting dare which gave my lips the nice red tint and my special 'chap stick' trick for making them look so nice. HA.  BUT honestly, I thought my lips were going to fall off... and I kind of wanted to  die a little.  Dramatic? I think not.


"Is there anyone alive out there?!"
-Cole randomly quoting Titanic in the most perfect way ever 
Do you know the part I'm talking about?! He really sounded just like the guy in the ONE life boat that came back to see if anyone in the water was alive after the sinking.  Here... Let me find it for you.


Watch the first 4 seconds of this clip.

It was totally random when he said it but it was so perfect that everyone knew what he was quoting.  AND, it was right after we woke up from our "camping" and we were all pretty silent for a while because we (I mean, they..because I totally slept in my bed) wanted to die from sleeping on the floor. This of course inspired us to go see it in theaters that night in 3D. Woot Woot!


"I had a lot of 'who cares' moments last night."
-Liz
True.  She really did.  There are a few things that will never be the same for Liz: Hershey's Chocolate, Elmer's Glue, and 'Frosting Fingers.' Oh, Not-so-baby Elizabeth :) Welcome to the 'dark side.'  haha. KIDDING.


"Prolly can you help me?"
-Brandi about hitting Cole with a pillow
She said this kind of thing a few times this weekend. It's really weird when you hear it at first because obviously that question would be perfectly fine with out the PROLLY at the beginning.  I mean, heck, it would make more sense with the PROLLY after the question if it needs to be there at all.  haha.  Oh Brandi, Ashley and your case of the "Prolly's." When they say it like ^^ this, you can't help but laugh a little.


"Quit trying to pull my leg hairs.  Pull your own.. They're as long as mine!"
-Easton to Brandi
Did I mention that they are dating? haha. Oh yeah, they are. 


"Liz and I don't mess around.  We go ALL in.  Just like Brad [and his tongue.]"
-Me to Vicky
I normally don't like to write down things that I say on this segment because it makes it sound like I think that I'm super funny or something but when we laugh so hard that the other person says I have to add it (if it's semi-appropriate) then I try to throw it in there.  So there you go, Vicky!



"This is the ultimate stalker car.  Black, Bungee-chorded trunk,...Black driver."
-Easton
Of course he had to add the last one in there but the car did serve its purpose!  


"I want to learn to Salsa dance!" -Amanda trying to convince us girls to want to do the same.
"Uh, no." 
"Country SwiiiNG?!" -Amanda
hahaha. I love that she was so excited and so serious about her idea.  I mean, sure we all decided that we need to get out and maybe meet some new people and what not but Country Dancing?! sorry...can't get myself to do that one.  I think we agreed on some alternatives that I would participate in though, K girls?



"Oh Look--Edward Cullen!!" -Me while bowling (totally an inside joke but he really was on the Music Video that was playing on the screen.)
"WHAT?! NO!!!!!!" -Amanda
She might say that Nieko and I forever ruined the Twilight movies for her, but don't blame us... blame Urban Dictionary ;) 


"Hey, you're still the shiznit"
-Weird girl in the ward straight to the BISHOP.
whoa, whoa, whoa, right?! I'm pretty sure the Bishop saw my instant look of disgust and judgement passed when she said this comment and I honestly don't care. Really. First--Who says shizNIT these days? I mean, I know people say "shiz" all the time as an alternative for saying the real word.  Whatev.  But shiznit?  (ok, I accidentally almost submitted this post with the grammatical error of "shitnit" but then caught it and changed it but laughed so hard that I actually had to place it in right now simply for comedic effect.) I think the biggest thing aside from the fact that she actually called an adult figure that word is that she said it straight to THE BISHOP. WTH? I about passed out from holding my breath and laughter. 

Camping Indoors.

We were supposed to go real camping this weekend for Ariana's birthday but the forecast for where we were going went a little like this...Cold. Rain. Snow. More Cold and uhhh. rain.  

Soooo Liz and I decided that we were going to go all out and do an indoor camping party.  And when I mean all out, I mean all out.  Sure, we didn't have a real fire, but I had an app for campfire noises and other nature things.  I mean, it was pretty close to real camping.  The tent smelt like camping too so what more could you ask for? haha. Cole put 100 glow and the dark stars on my vaulted ceiling and Liz and I did this... 

You know it's a big deal when you have to take off your bedroom door just so you can move the furniture out of the living room.  I was honestly surprised at how large my living room looked without all the furniture.  [I kind of didn't want to move it all back in once the party was over but I guess we need places to sit and such.]


Liz, Vicky and I painted the animals on Wednesday night and told Ariana they were for her mom's "class."  She believed us.  haha. We just wanted it all to be a surprise, which, I think it was!

I had already taken Friday off for Camping so Liz and I started at about noon with the decor and party stuff.  Yes, we are hardcore.  The best part was going to this school supply/"Map World" place and buying the  "self serve" butcher paper.  It took us a good half hour or so to roll up the 42 yards of paper.  Don't tell Map World, but It think we ended up with a yard or two extra.  I mean, get real.  We were laughing or talking while rolling it all up and lost count a little.  Even though we did them in 4 yard rolls, we still lost count.  Yes, we're a little special. 


It really turned out just as good, if not better than what we had pictured it to look like! I'd say we are the ultimate party planners. It only took us like....5 hours or so to get it all together.  Sounds like a lot but we had a ton of fun doing it!  The worst part was seeing that 5 hours of work to put up only took about 15 minutes to completely clean up and put the furniture back together again.  Totally worth it though.


All decoration and party planning awesomeness aside, the actual party itself was fun.  I think it's safe to say that we are all a little crazy.  If you would have told me a year ago that certain people in our group would turn out to be even half as crazy as me I would have laughed in your face.  But now...haha.


We had games, eating, dancing, drinking stuff that's not meant to be mixed or swallowed, more "dancing," lots of laughing, many "OH MY GOSH" and WTH moments, indoor star gazing, and of course some pretty hilarious dares that some people will never live down.  Trust me.  Some of which I'm grateful for because they totally will make people forget about some things that certain people told me I would never live down.  Haha. After Friday night? psh. yeah right.  


Not everyone stayed the night but I'm so glad that pretty much everyone came and stayed up pretty late and had fun!  A few of us even went on a late night walk at like 2:30 or something.. which is a pretty normal night for Nieko and I, but do you know how many people are out and about at that time?  We actually ran into a few and it kind of creeped me out but then I remembered that we were also at that time so it's like...uh, maybe they're cool too? Hmmm.  well..

Dear Main Street,
Thank you for the late night entertainment. I'm sorry for the thing [W] used as a punching bag and broke.  I'm sorry that [N] wanted to steal it and put it in my apartment.  I'm also sorry for saying that the only reason why I didn't want them to steal it was purely because it was super ugly and I didn't want it to become decor in my apartment.  What I'm not sorry for, though?  Spotting that large rock that looked like the face of the Dark Lord [AKA, Voldemort] and almost getting an "object crush" on it, not because of what it was but because of how awesome I guess I thought it was in the moment, and then letting [N] take it and place it on top of the apartment complex sign. Oh, and then waking up this morning for a Sunday walk and maybe getting a little emotional but then walking back into the complex and seeing this and getting a really good laugh:

 Life without ridiculous funny moments like this ^^^.. wouldn't be living at all.

I'm not sure what time we actually went to bed but my kind of camping totally includes all of the fun of it but then getting to sleep in my nice comfy bed.  Sorry to all the people, AKA Easton who woke up with a back ache and to the ones who barely got any sleep for..other reasons.  Um.. You wanted to camp so I gave you "camping" haha. 

AFTER breakfast most of us took another nap.

Easton trying to pull a prank to make Liz pee her pants.. haha. SO didn't work.

We finished off Ariana's Birthday by stopping by and looking at all the dog that are up for adoption. omg, I wanted to get them all and give them a home.  Ok, all except for that one poodle who almost took Cole's finger off. nightmare.  And then we decided to go see Titanic 3D.  Yes, we saw it on April 14th--Exactly 100 years since the sinking. We're awesome.  I know I've seen that movie probably a billion times but it still gets me every time.  There's just something about seeing it on big screen!  Thank you James Cameron and of course, Leonardo Decap:)

Well, thanks to everyone for the fun. To Liz for spending a full 24 hours with me and pulling off the most awesome birthday party yet.  To Ariana for being born and giving us a reason to party and celebrate being alive.  And to the last weekend that we will ALL be together for a while...We keep it real!

My brain is weird but I like to think it works--Super Random Ramblings. 20 minute lunch break addition. LEGGO!

On Monday I found myself not wanting to wear socks for a minute.  I took a picture because it was so outrageous.  Then I deleted said "outrageousness" and put the socks back on because my feet instantly felt funny like they always do when I don't wear shoes or socks. That, and I felt weird for even considering that my sock madness had passed.


I have really irrational thoughts sometimes.  You think I'm exaggerating?  I'm not.  Unfortunately :/  I won't even go into detail about some of the things I contemplated doing this morning...  


One of my favorite bands, You Me At Six (that I mostly obsess over for their lyrics, lead singer, and their ridiculously hot British accents ) has a song that says in it "I like secrets 'cause they keep me in line."  I've thought about that line for a really long time and I could never really decide what they meant.  Therefore, I guess we can consider it to be pretty deep. [HA!]  I know that I like secrets because I like 'being in the know' and I like knowing that people can come to me and trust me.  But let's be honest...when someone tells me something that I know probably isn't public knowledge but I KNOW that it will eventually come to the surface at some point, and is not a big deal (come on, I can tell the difference) then I usually end up telling one person. (don't act like you don't have a go to person).  Most of the time it's someone who doesn't even know the other person OR I just make sure that I state that "It isn't public knowledge yet so keep it on the DL and act clueless when you hear from the source."  ....huh. I guess secrets really do keep me in line.  But that doesn't mean that I don't have this URGE to tell someone when I know something really juicy.


...speaking of juicy. I know that someone is making a pretty big leap really soon and that someone REALLY isn't as "normal" as people think they are and that so and so told so and so something that they can never take back.  Vague? sorry--I'm trying to keep in line :)

I just found out yesterday that they are doing a "Paranormal Activity 4." HOWWWW? I mean really? How? [omg, Liz]


Here's the problem with booking flight and hotel plans for a trip over 4 months in advance...I instantly want to peace out and go on the trip.  That's right, Regan doesn't know yet but the Hansen's and the Smith's are going to Disneyland for a few days at the end of the summer.  Watch out world!

You really just can't win with some people these days.  Sometimes I feel like everyone around me is so different and that I want to make everyone happy but at the same time there is this tiny piece of me (deep down) that wants to just have a major freak out about somethings and like, pull a Britney--shave my head or at least freak out and hit a car with an umbrella....


If not a Britney then something like this:

haha. OK, maybe not that bad considering all of those things are irrelevant to my non-sucky life but sometimes I picture myself dramatically freaking out like that.  haha. Really..


I have gone almost 4 days without painted nails and I kind of hate it A LOT.  I can't deal with these man hands.  But the last few days I just haven't had the energy because I realized that for the last 3 years + I have continuously painted my nails almost once a week.  Do you know how much time that takes? ugh.  Yeah.. I'm sure I will end up painting them this weekend once I get over the fact that I calculated how much time I probably spend painting my nails every year and WOW.  Oh, the things we do to feel better. But then I remember that I can multitask while I let them dry.  Sort of. But that's usually watching TV. like I said.  I have the weirdest thoughts... 


...Like me actually contemplating getting rid of my cable and DVR last week because I feel like my life would be enhanced with all the activities I could do if I didn't have TV to tempt me.  But then I slapped myself and realized that I don't think I could do it.  Maybe someday I will be able to do it.  You know, just cut the cable cord and be like.. "Sorry, Comcast--It's not you, it's me; We're OVER!"  Then I would go through the steps of grieving and be over it.  I think it's doable.  some day....someday.

Wednesday's Witty Words of the Week

"Haven't you taken a Geology Class?!?!"
-Vicky's response to my question about weather forecasts.
hahaha ok. I didn't take a Geology class in college or anything but when she said this Willy and Liz and I died laughing.  Willy: "A class about...ROCKS?" We died. Like, I'm not here anymore because this girl is too funny.


"Hey, will you lick these?"
-Coleman on our drive to Idaho about his sticky fingers from eating a rice krispie.
The funniest part about this is that he's so serious when he jokes.  No, I will not lick your fingers for you because 1.)that would be wrong on SO many different levels and 2.) Lick your own dang fingers!


"Mom.  You're wearing Nike socks? You're a Bad A."
-Cole
Like he didn't already know that mom was a Bad A or something? HA!  And like the Nike brand automatically brings you to a higher level of "BAD A-NESS" (haha. I just made you say Anus.. besides the point.) Moving on.


Ok.. I have to set this next one up.  Cole, Mom, Dad and I were sitting in the living room getting ready to watch a movie and I guess mom and I were being loud and annoying about something.  ACTION:
Cole (Bible in Hand): "Let your women keep silence.." 
This was followed by a lot of laughter and an "OMG, you're so rude" and a chat about women's right and being nice to girls, and a "but it's in the bible," and dad quickly following with "Yeah, so shut the [H] up." all in fun and games of course.  We love each other.  But it was funny.


"Hey there Lover of Love..."
-Easton 
It's true.  I feel like I'm pretty open about my love for love.  I'm just glad people are finally picking that one up.  I mean, I know I'm against certain relationships and am a firm believer in being smart about things but in general.. But I do love a good love story.  So if you have one that isn't dumb then you should comment below or text me or something ;) I'll take the "lover of love" title.  It makes me seem less heartless.  Which i'm not...usually.


"You scared of black people? It's 2012..."
-Winston, New Girl
He's the only black main character on the show and last night he goes and scares Jess' new boyfriend, Like, "BOO" and of course the boy friend got startled and that was Winston's response.  SO FUNNY! ...Sometimes I wish I was a different color just purely for all of the jokes you can make to make other people feel awkward.  I find it hilarious.


"Because you're ADD?" -Wendy 
"Umm.. you mean, OCD?" -me
I can't remember now if she was referring to my neat piles on my desk or how I'm constantly cleaning and "lysoling" my apt.  Whichever the case,  ADD and OCD are completely different.  Oh Wendy... Don't call me either, thanks!  (jk. I can handle it.)


"If you wanna get with me you've gotta get with my friends. And yes, that's a Spice Girl song."
-Jess, New girl
hahaha. I want to be like Jess when I grow up.. or just the writers of the show.  So quick and so clever.  The dry sense of humor KILLS me.


"This is Hazing!!!"
-Liz
Sure, [N] and [W] and I were pushing her down and trying to make her go into the dark closet but it was all in fun and games.  Ok, shoot.  That's probably what 99% of all bullies say.  But dear Liz, you know we are joking and that we weren't really "Hazing" you. You'd know if it wasn't out of love and fun and games.  I mean, really--We LOVE you.  And plus, you don't fool me.  I know you can hold your ground.  You're FIERCE!


"You look like death."
-Nieko
Rude.  First of all.. I was in my EXTRA grubbies (paint shirt included) because I was cleaning around the house and didn't know everyone was coming over.  Second, I really have no excuse as to why my hair was pulled out of it's nasty ponytail that it had been in all day long.  But lastly, you KNOW that my eyes are sensitive to light so if you shine a light on me after being in Vampire mode for an hour or so...I'm not going to be able to open one eye and I will be a tits of a mess.  


haha. Ok, Yeah, I looked like death.  Whatev.




I am actually surprised that I was able to come up with that many because I was gone all weekend and have been so "on the go." So sorry, that's all you get today.  But I will leave you with a bonus.  If you know my mom--keep reading.


My mom watches a lot of Ellen and well she randomly started to "Dance Dare" my dad at our Easter Dinner and I caught the tail end of it.   It's my mom so of course we were dying at her dance moves by the end of it so I had to cut the video.  I just love the fact that she was trying to hold her laugh in and I think she was starting to choke on a carrot, and the fact that my Dad had no clue that it was going on or what a dance dare was. It's not Ellen worthy by all means...I missed the provocative dancing at the beginning [yeaaaa...curse you iPhone for being in my pocket!!] But I still got a laugh out of it.


(sorry the video is turned the wrong way.. I was in a hurry.) Oh that mother of mine. I sure love her!

Easter Weekend Recap

If I could sum the weekend up in one word it would be ...MASON.

Typical.  I swear Jamie thinks that I only come home to see him and that's not true.  I mean, it's a HUGE part of it because I just love him so much but I love spending time with the rest of the family too of course ;). Sure, the only pictures I got of anyone else this weekend were ones with Mason in them but whatever, get over it..he's adorbs.

Randoms through the weekend.  He loves Hats, Easter Eggs and his Grandpa, that's for sure!

Easter Egg Hunt at Uncle Chuck's!

Memaw got Mason a Ball for Easter!
he loved his new Tube of Carmex better...silly boy.

I think we have another boy in the family that will have an obsession with hats..
If he's anything like Uncle Coleman, that is.

We spent a lot of time hanging out, shopping, playing with Mason and visiting with Family.  At least, that's what I did.  Coleman ended up doing a lot of chores with Dad [ick] ..but he gave him some money for helping so whatev, I don't feel bad for him.  But don't worry, I didn't get out of all of it. I still woke up on Saturday morning to Dad saying, "THE CATTLE ARE OUT" which turned into a jog to round them up and get them back into pasture and then checking the electrical fence. ugh. 7:30 am? fml.  What does dad do when we aren't around? haha. 


But it did bring back some funny memories. I sometimes have to laugh that I was raised on our little farm.  To think about all of the things that I did back then?  HA! People I know now wouldn't even believe it. All in all, I'm glad I was raised the way that I was and got to do all of the things that I did. My parents raised us to be pretty tough, I think.  I just don't know what happened after I moved away..I'm kind of a wimp these days :/ I don't like getting dirty and I prefer sleeping in my comfy bed.  Sue me. 
meh. Oh well.  People change.  Things change.


...Which seems to be a reoccurring theme this week. wah!

Wednesday's Witty Words of the Week

"I don't think I want to live in a world where people don't know what TGIF was."
-Jamie
This, of course, was from the conversation I had with my sister before I wrote yesterday's blog.  She was so disgusted and sad for the people who didn't get to experience it.  I guess that's how much we really loved it.  But, again... they're younger. We can't blame them, can we?


"I save the puffs for last.  They taste the best."
-Amanda in reference to the way she eats popcorn
I've heard of a lot of strange things that people do while eating food.  Like, eating the crust of their sandwich first, but this one is totally one of the strangest I've heard/seen.  We couldn't stop laughing when we saw her taking one piece of popcorn at a time and nibbling off the pokey-outey pieces and leaving the..bahahahah...PUFFS.  She claims that they taste better, which, I don't see how that is possible at all but I will just take her word on it I suppose.


"What do we do if we don't want some of the pizza you guys bring by?" -Alex to waitress.
"Just say 'No [B]' I don't want your pizza." -Waitress at Brick Oven
Super professional right?  She quickly became our favorite waitress.  Who says the B word at a family restaurant? haha. oh yeah...  right.


"Oooo she's an Accountant?" -Alex
"yeah! are you an accountant too?!"-Melissa
"No. But I want to be a stay at home dad." -Alex
Leave it to Alex! Of course it was meant mostly as a joke but you know he still meant it. haha. so funny.


"Shouldn't this be the other way around?"
-Liz commenting on her doing stuff for Victoria.
HAHA. Pretty sure this was her cracking a joke about slavery.  Again, we aren't racist and we wouldn't support slavery of any kind.  We just like to "POKE" fun of Vicky sometimes.  We love her and honestly would do anything for her.  Not just because she's our dark-skinned friend. "Green Cards, anyone?" [sorry... still an on-going joke from a few weeks ago].


"That's it--We're taking you to Walmart."
-Nieko
Did we go to Walmart at 2 am just so Cole and Sam could go number 2?  Yeah. we did. Nieko made them while we hid from them in the middle of the bird feeder/sprinkler isle. They took pictures, it got weird, I don't remember getting into bet that night...The end. HA.


"I'm like Herpes... I'm never going away."
-Renee, Mob Wives
Any threat that has to do with an STD is scary but it's even scarier when it's coming from Renee or any of the other Mob Wives; They mean bidness. I would never mess with Renee.  The woman is seriously the craziest out of any of the "wives" shows I watch.  enough said.


"WAH. the Chocolate is melted.." me
"Sorry...I have the giggles.  IT'S SO HOT IN HERE!!!  I think I had a real hot flash..." 
-Alex waking up sweaty after our naps on the couch
He was really super hot.  Then there is me who slept like a baby with a down comforter and woke up to eat the melted chocolate and didn't think twice about opening a window for him.  Sorry, Alex...haha. Bad host?! 


"What is she on?"
-David? haha
Who knows.  I was tired, had an energy drink..  You know... whatev. Plus, i'm a little nuts like, all the time.  That's just me in real life.  Maybe I should work on that?   


"Just for the record, I told you within seconds of knowing. I think what I did was really brave."
-Nick
This episode was all about secrets.  I loved how Nick said that his back becomes a "slip-n-slide" when he's told a secret because he just can't keep it in.  Haha.  Ever felt that way? Not the sweaty back thing but having a secret and wanting to share it with at least one person because knowing something THAT huge is too hard to keep to yourself? haha. I feel ya, Nick.  I feel ya.


"I need someone to vent to and my mom's not here and doesn't have service and you're the next best thing."
-Easton
oh presh!  but really... I'm pretty sure he had my name in his phone as 'Madre' for quite a while.  haha.


"WHAT? Where was I?! ..Oh yeah, outside by myself talking to people I don't know."
-Nieko
We honestly have the weirdest weekends.  


"She had a bit of a crisis.  She accidentally ate a cookie because she fell on it and she's devastated."
-Cece, New Girl, in reference to her Model roommate
Really it was a poor excuse to get Jess to leave because Schmidt was hiding in the couch. But I can see someone really saying this.  "Accidentally" ate a cookie. haha. I loved her model roommates. so funny.


"SHUTTING DOWWWWWWWWN."
-Vicky
I've realized that we have lots of jokes with our dear Vicky.  Even though she said this a couple of weekends ago I still caught myself thinking this on Saturday after I was running on 7 hours of sleep in 2 days and had been shopping all day.  I really was "SHUTTING DOWWWWWWWN," Vicky style.  

We were Children of the 90's :) TGIF.

This weekend I was sitting with my friends on a Friday night and I don't know how it came up but I found out that MOST of them didn't know what I meant by ABC's TGIF.
SAY WHAT?!?!?!  um.  I don't know about you but that was my childhood.  I can honestly remember looking forward to it EVERY week.  Maybe it's because I had an older sister who loved it and I wanted to be just like her but I have vivid memories of us having a little slumber party and getting so pumped to camp out in front of the TV with popcorn and watch it.  Two hours of great TV-- back to back; It was the highlight of our week. 


Shows like:


Step By Step
Family Matters
Full House
Sister Sister
Hanging with Mr. Cooper
Clueless
Sabrina the Teenage Witch
...and later 'Two of a Kind' (If you were as big of a Mary Kate and Ashley fan as me then you know that this was only on for a short time before they stopped running it but it was good!0


Classics.


Golden line-up: Family Matters, Full House, Step by Step, and Boy Meets World.


For those of you who actually remember TGIF then you'll remember these.  If not, then here's just a little taste.  Look at the colors, the clothes, the music. Omg.  Good stuff.


[Of course I won't add the Full house theme song because, let's be honest...we all remember that show and probably have watched it in our adulthood and maybe even know the lyrics.  Don't lie.:)]:

TGIF was great.  And here's the thing... We probably didn't realize it then but our parents knew that each of the shows always taught great lessons.  Sneaky Parents. I mean, come on...Danny Tanner, Uncle Jesse and Joey ALWAYS taught the girls great lessons at the end of every episode *cue serious music and tears*;  It was great.  


I feel bad for kids now... you can't watch a show now with teenagers in it that doesn't have something to do with sex, teenage pregnancy, homosexuality, drinking, drugs, cyber bullying, ext... What ever happened to the classic: Don't lie, don't steal, and obey your parents lessons? haha. I guess the times have changed.  But These shows.. ohhhh you don't get much better.


Note to my future children--I'm sorry that you won't have TGIF and that you will be forced by the world into thinking that Teen Mom and Glee is where it's at. (yes, I've watched both of those shows) smh.  I'm scared. :/


TGIF. Come baaaaaaackk.


Oh and as a bonus.  Let's not forget the classic 90's 'made for TV movies' that were brought up this weekend like Camp Cucamonga (Jennifer Aniston? uh, yes) and Sabrina the Teenage Witch (Hello Ryan Reynolds).  


Honestly.  If you haven't seen Camp Cucamonga...I'm making you watch it. Please.  Jamie  and Cole and I still watch it to this day and love it.

Weekend Randoms.

1.) Yesterday I made the most BOMB Grilled Cheese Sandwich of my life with fresh tomatoes and Avacado.  Haters gonna hate but it's so GOOD. mmmmm...

Did you notice that I'm sitting SUPER close to the TV?  That's what happens when you only wear your glasses like, 3 times a year and the prescription is from 2007 but your contacts were buggin' and you've GOT to watch your shows. Again, don't hate.

2.) I've decided that I don't mean to but I always end of talking to the most interesting people.  And by that I mean people who look cracked out on drugs, people with weird names, people who are just plain weird.. that kind of interesting. And I love talking to them.  Like I've said before...what would life be like without a little diversity and reminders that you are actually normal?!  Boring--That's what.


3.) Boys are weird.  I probably only know a few girls would who take pictures of each other while going #2 in a public restroom and they are gross.  And really?  No one wants that kind of pic sent to them via text while in the same store at 2 in the morning.  no thank you...SAMMMMM :/


4.) Remember Ben Sherman Boy at work?? He is officially married.  Weird, ya? Weird.


5.) Being a little sleep deprived this weekend I picked up one of these on Saturday with Nieko.  I've been convinced that Rockstars have the best taste in Energy Drinks for a while now.  This "Tropical Guava Energy +Juice" confirmed this thought.  Sure, we know they are bad for you but this one? Less carbonation and DELISH.  Nieko and I ended up splitting it because even he liked it. yum.

6.)  Alex came down this weekend it was so good to see him.  He always brings the cutest house warming gifts and we always have a good time!  We were able to go to the morning session of conference and then shopped at City Creek basically all day. Oh, and we went to brick oven for his birthday dinner and did you know they are trying to do a "pizza buffet" now?  Well, we tried it and omg.... oh, all the pizza we ate there!

7.) I LOVE that brother of mine.  The last few days I think we've realized that he will be leaving soon so we've been doing more stuff together...and talking more. haha and I really enjoy it.  Either that or it's because his ankle is semi-broken so he has to bum around the apartment more.   But either way, I don't care--I'll take it :)

8.) So I don't think I've mentioned via the blog that one of the BFF's is getting married in August?! Well Savy B is getting MARRIED!! finally, an official shout out to her.  CONGRATS! I've been helping her come up with some wedding ideas recently and not to brag but I'm a natural born planner that's for sure.  I can't wait to see it all come together at the end of the summer!  I've already taken two days off for the festivities :)

9.)  I was talking to my mom on Saturday and she was telling me about how dad babysat Mason by himself for a few hours while Jamie and James had a date night and it was honestly the funniest thing to picture in my mind.  Grandpa sure does love that little Mason boy, but BABYSITTING?! hahahahaha.  I can just see him talking to him and making all of his weird noises to him and then chasing him all over the house because that little boy can crawl! So. Funny. Anyone who knows my dad's knows would think so too.  I just need to get over my irrational fear of pregnancy/labor/parenthood so I can someday have kids for him to babysit! hahaha. j/k. but seriously.

10.) I was trying to get Mason to make his "WHOA" face that he does sometimes and well, he just likes laughing at me. Pretty sure he just thinks I look funny; I don't mind.  His smiles are AMAZING.

and just look at his little toothers.  omg.

We won't talk about the time yesterday when he facetimed to show uncle Cole he was watching space jam and he saw me and SCREAMED bloody murder.. nope. Because, quite frankly, it was a little rude.  haha. 


Bonus--if you've been wondering why I don't blog as much lately (because I've had people ask) then chances are that you're just an fbook follower.  I post quite often, I've just been trying to limit the times I blow up your fbook feed; You can thank me later.

Well...

I talk a lot about change.  In fact, I just wrote a few days ago about Cole leaving for the summer in a couple of weeks and how that is going to be quite a big change  in my apartment for a while. But this weekend I had another 'AH HA moment' with change.

Let's back up a little.

Over the last year I've wondered many times, "How did I get to this place and become this person that I am?"  I've sat many hours thinking about how I used to be such a "good person" and just a lot different than the person I am today and am constantly trying to figure out plans of action to become the person that I want to be.  Well, the fact of the matter is that I am still a good person. I might not do all the right things, and I sure don't say all the right things, but I know who I am and I'm working on those few things that I know I need to; It just takes patience. 

Sometimes you just have to take a look at life, shrug your shoulders, and say:

""

And then just move on.  Because they really just do and it doesn't have to be bad.

 I can remember the person I was two or so years ago and the parts that I didn’t like about myself, overtime, I was able to change.  It wasn't until this last weekend that I realized that it wasn’t just something I decided I was going to change and then just did it because I knew I needed too and just kept it up as a front because I wanted people to see me a certain way.  No.  It just became a part of who I am.  I am a different person now and of course there are things that I’m working on changing but those few things that I let semi-control my life back then are no longer an issue now.

I've changed.

I don’t put up with people’s bull. I don’t get AS invested in people’s lives to the point that it makes me sick to my stomach to think about fixing it. I don't lie about things that don't matter; I tell the truth.  I had very minimal panic attacks in the last year and I do all of that while still showing the people I care about that I love them and am there for them.

I’m so happy to be able to be the real me at all times.  Once I decide to make other changes (for good or bad) no matter what it is, it will be because I made that decision...not because I know it's how people expect me to act.

I am in control of my own life.
