My Adventurous Weekend and B-day Plans

This weekend has been very fun. It started a little early with Thursday night. We watched survivor and Grey's Anatomy as usual, then rented The Strangers. It was VERY scary! I would not recommend watching it alone. That was fun but Saturday was the best. We went to Boo at the Zoo. It was adorable! We saw a little girl (about four years old) dressed as the girl on Scooby Doo and the costume was perfect. Best costume of the day, hands down. The runners up were the penguin family and the pirate. After the zoo, I ran some errands with Rachelle before heading to dinner at Pei Wei with Bryant and Tyler. If you have never been there and you like Thai food, I highly recommend it. It has decent prices and great food! After dinner we watched Lost Boys, which was actually quite humorous and I loved it. Tyler then took us to "Emo's grave" in the cemetery in the Avenues. It was definately creepy. If you don't know the story, ask and I will tell you! We drove around for quite a while looking for "the other cemetery" that Ty was sure existed, only to discover that the "second cemetery" was just the upper end of the first cemetery! Bryant was the only brave soul (or maybe the rest of us were just the smart ones?)who touched Emo's grave, and he totally lost his shoe while running back to the car which I refused to leave--rolling the windows down was as far as I would go and that took courage lol. I ended up sleeping at Rachelle's, which was a little scary at first (no offense chelle). The couch I slept on was directly below the windows and Bryant had just serenaded us with the Freddy Kruger song before we walked to the apartment( 1,2 Freddy's comin for you....3, 4 better shut the door...5,6 get a crucifix...7,8 better stay up late...9, 10 never sleep again...Creepy eh?). Now the weekend is over and I'm at work feeling sick. I'm extremely nauseous and will not be going to school in the morning if I don't feel better soon, which I better be because we're going to PF Chang's for my birthday tonight! Oh--and we're going to The Bakery in and Nightmare on 13th on my bday (wednesday) if any of you want to join! I promise it will be very entertaining because I am going and I always make a fool of my wimpy self at haunted houses!!!

Yay for October!

I'm pretty sure nobody reads this blog, but I figure its more for myself than anybody else so I'm not going to care! I just watched the new and final Twilight move trailer! Its awesome! I am definately disappointed in a few things, but it still looks really good! Robert (as Edward) is even growing on me a little bit! I can't wait for the premiere! Check out the Twilight Trailer!
I went to the Haunted Forest with some friends a few days ago. I thought it was really fun. I love that kind of stuff. The two best parts were in the forest when the chainsaw guys corner you in a mini maze, and in Psycho Manor when we were followed by the little Jigsaw doll thing on his tricycle (from Saw). It was terrifying! I loved it. I can't wait to go to Nightmare on 13th and the Ghost story tour in SLC! I also went to Hee-Haws with the family. It was fun. We went on the trick-or-treat hay ride and made it through the corn maze. I also stupidly left my phone there, but luckily a good samaritan found it, called my mom (the number was on my recent calls list) and I was able to get the phone back! Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, and I am totally dressing up and celebrating on the 31st!
Other than the Halloween festivities, my life has been the same as usual: homework, homework, work at the hospital, and more homework with a lack of adequate sleep and very little free time. I love my classes and my job, but I miss sleeping in and bein irresponsible! haha. Luckily, its holiday season, and its also midterm!

Update and New Blog

It has been a little while since I last posted! I have been crazy busy with work and school. I love my classes, but they definately keep me occupied! My sister's birthday was a little over a week ago. It was fun! I made a Twilight cake and we went to Teppanyaki's for dinner. That was my first time eating there, and it was really yummy, and definately lots of fun! I must say, our chef was quite attractive! lol.
I got to see Aida at the Hale Center Theatre in Orem with some friends/cousins. It was great! Its still one of my favorites! It is definately worth seeing if you have the chance.
I can't believe September is almost over, but I must admit that I am totally excited for October. It is one of my favorite months, and not just for the obvious reason (my birthday lol). I love Halloween, and the weather this time of year is great too. It has been perfect convertible weather lately. Its not too hot, but not cold either. Perfectly comfortable weather to drive with the top down and I have been living it up as much as I can before awful winter comes along!
FYI: I started a clogging blog. Check it out if you have spare time and meet our amazing teammembers! They are all amazing dancers and incredible people! http://rockymountainunlimited.blogspot.com

Help!--Where Am I?



Ok, so I was going through some pics on my computer the other day, and I came across this one. I have NO CLUE where I am in the pic. Does anyone recognize it? Its kinda funny that I don't remember it at all, and the background is almost creepy when you don't know what it is haha...




This is my response to the book Out of the Dust. Its a great book, you should read it if you haven't already. If you have, you will understand the meaning of this pic. I'm not much of an artist, but I had fun!

Fun News!

We FINALLY found out what our clogging show routine will be. We are dancing to 9 to 5, and I think its going to be hilarious! We get to wear 70's office costumes like the outfits worn in the movie, and I'm totally going all out. I want a wig, and the ugly glasses with the chain around the neck, and the neckscarf...haha. It will be super fun! You will all have to come see it when we begin performing/competing it!

School is still goin pretty good. I missed class thursday and friday because I was feeling pretty crappy, but other than that school has been going great! It has made work better as well! Ever since school started, I have been going to classes monday through friday, and working friday through sunday. Its been really nice to work 3 in a row, then have 4 off. It gives me a nice long break, and by the time I go back to work, I'm actually excited to be there and it makes the job much more enjoyable. I am also in a better mood. I love it!

Yay!

Yay! I finally learned how to make my blog cute! I'm slowly learning all the tricks! I also learned how to put a picture behind my header. I didn't know what pic to put, but I decided I wanted something funny that kind of captures my personality....Did I succeed? haha.
Moving on...I started school and its fantastic. Its a little rough going back to 5 days a week, but I love all my classes. Even the grammar class, but only because the professor is great! Clogging starts again in a few days, and I cannot wait! I'm stoked to have class again (we took the month of August off).
