Things That Sound Fun to Do, But in Reality...

So this is a segment I would like to call Things that sound fun to do, but in reality really aren't! One Saturday me and my roommate decided it would be oh so much fun to have rag curls. Like the ones on Little Women or like Shirley Temple. The thought was to have cute curly for church the next day. So all day long I did prep work by tearing up an old sheet into strips. Then later that night we read all the instructions we could find and we put our hair in rags.




I felt like we did an awesome job. When I couldn't reach the back my roommate helped out, and vice versa. It was quite the group effort. And really form these pictures wouldn't you say I look so darling!!! Well, I went to bed and awaited for great results... And this is what the next day produced...





This is just beyond ridiculous. I had hair like Charlie from the old Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory movie. Just ridiculous. The worst part is that my roommates hair was cute little ringlets and mine was a mountain of poof!!! I also had to teach in Relief Society, too, so I have no idea why I thought this would be a good thing to do at all. The irony!

Recapping the Summer

Now that I've been back for almost two weeks from camp, I've made a little special treat. My first attempts of making a movie all by myself. I usually make movies with my friend Colette, but she's unfortunately in St. George right now. And really I wanted to do this myself!

So here's some pictures from my summer. Some might look familiar, and of course I had to pick music that I was just introduced this summer. So enjoy some of my memories in this 2 1/2 minute recap of my summer 2008.

I love the 80's

So on 08-08-08 at 8PM, my family celebrated the decade of the 80's. I love the music, but I could really do without the clothes and hair. I sure had fun ratting my hair, but the make-up was a killer.



I think the belt made my outfit. But look at the kid next to me (Jason)... exactly like the DEVO "Whip It" music video.

The similarities are quite frightening!!! Note the tan line even. It's amazing. We were at DI, and I was just going to get a terracotta flower pot and paint it red, but no... we turn the corner and a bright red cake pan in the perfect shape was patiently waiting for us to pick it up. Now that was the amazing part.

But overall, the party was loads of fun. Good music, food 80's food, and to boot we watched Better Off Dead. Too much Aquanet equivalences were used that day.

Copalicious

My last Wednesday of fun I did COPE...don't ask me what t stands for, but you get to do things with harnesses and high telephone poles. Ok so that's a stupid explanation, but its uber fun!!!! Here are my photos as proof.



This is an awesome picture of me flailing about on the zip line. Now I bet you are all jealous of my skills, but it really was a lot of fun. I was a little nervous when I had to jump from a very high platform into the deep unknown...but I survived.

Next picture...


...an assortment of staff members waiting to go on the "Flying Squirrel." With this one you get shot into the air, kind of like a flying squirrel. Funny how they name things. But just what you've been waiting for is a beautiful picture of me on this contraption. I was described as being a "rag doll" while flying through the air.



Most of all, I love the butt shot...Let's just say I wasn't the one taking the picture :(

Well, that's my fun life... I'm on my way back to Utah in less than 12 hours. Long drive here I come!
