Clearly this is me.

My cute little niece is so nice. Today she sketched a portrait of me for an early Christmas Present. Isn't she adorable?

Love this.

Pretty please listen to this song because it is wonderful and I love it.

So for tonight we pray for

What we know can be

And every day we hope for

What we still can't see

It's up to us to be the change

And even though we all can still do more

There's so much to be thankful for.

The accordion

Firstly, the accordion is very heavy. My arms were a little bit sore after I carried it around for a not so lengthy amount of time.

Secondly, I want one.

Anybody want a peanut?

I've got a few thought for ya'll

1. No I actually do not want anymore peanuts. Thank you airplane for only giving me peanuts.

2. I love hushpuppies. If you don't know what they are, shame on you,for they are the most delicious bite size deep fat fried cornbread batter you've ever tasted.

3. I also love southern accents and the word ya'll and the phrase bless his heart.

'' I've been feeding a possum, and bless his heart he's so ugly he's cute."- Grandma Shirley

4. I Love North Carolina. That is all.

Things that make me happy.

1. Paper shredders. They are oh so fun!

2. Views from the top of Squaw Peak.
3. Nice people, who do nice things.
4. Getting fun stuff in the mail. But then again, basically anything I get in the mail I consider fun.
5. New scrubs!!! I am really happy about this one, hence the pictures.

If I were a flower I would be a Poppy.

Four Days!!!

Why Yes Josh Groban I do remember when it rained

I decided to run yesterday, so I headed out into the beautiful sunshine thinking " oh this will be nice." I ran like four miles and then it started raining, but I like running in the rain so I kept going. Then it started hailing and raining. This was not very fun, the hail hurt a lot. But luckily this song came on-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvWnHAhKX6E&feature=related ( please enjoy the cheesy video)

It was glorious.

I've still got sand in my shoes...

I love the beach!!!!
I love my Family!!!!
I love spring break!!!

Disneyland!!!

• Well I basically partied at Disneyland with the Fam Bam.
• I really like the green aliens on toy story- as shown by the picture.
• I also really like Hannah who partied with us one of the nights we were there.
• Disneyland is a blast.
  

Hey, I put some new shoes on and suddenly everything's right!

I got new running shoes and they make me happy! Also this song makes me happy. So listen to it and be happy!

please don"t laugh... this is a serious matter.

In an attempt to halt sluffing during intervention Mr. Myrup and Dr. Shelton used their time during collaboration on Monday mornings to create a new species of possum. This possum, though seemingly cuddly and cute is not to be messed with. It was intended to be used as police for the doorways during intervention, and is therefore extremely fierce and intelligent. The idea was that should a student start leaving the school, a pack of possums would appear from various hiding places around the school ( trash receptacles, the ceiling, teachers offices, the backpacks of student government members etc.) and terrify the students into staying inside by intimidation, a harmless way to keep students learning! Unfortunately Myrup and Shelton did not foresee that the possums, who they only intended as a scare tactic, would develop an insatiable thirst for teenage flesh.

Recently there have been a number of possum attacks on innocent intervention attending students. Junior Kristen Blair barely survived a vicious ambush while she was walking to her third period. She tried to fight them off with her num chucks but to no avail. Luckily, mid assault she was able to distract them by throwing a piece of beef jerky at a fellow classmate, making him the target. She survived with only a few hundred stitches and a concussion. We cannot say as much for the other student. (May he rest in peace.) Senior, Ben Jacob was in the ICU for a month after he was attacked, he said " I was just practicing my didgeridoo in the orchestra room when suddenly I was surrounded by at least three hundred blood thirsty creatures some would like call possums, I prefer to call them the spawn of satan( which they are). I tried to fight them off but they were too strong and fast for my feeble human dexterity to combat."

But never fear dear students, the administration has come to the rescue and provided you with possum protection policy pamphlets otherwise known as the PPPP printed below.

How to protect yourself from possum attacks

· Mullets, Mowhawks, and Afros tend to repel them. Wearing one of these may save your life.

· Possums loathe pickled asparagus; therefore it will now be served in the lunchroom 24 hours a day. All other food items are henceforth banned from the premises of Timpview High.

· If you are under attack, serenading the possums with Celine Dions beautiful lyrics may cause the possum’s stony hearts to soften.

· Do not attempt to spray possums with pepper spray or use tazers on them, this will only send them into a psychotic rage.

· Do not play dead, they invented this trick and will not be fooled.

· Remember, you don't have to outrun the possums, you only have to outrun the person standing next to you.

I Love Salesmen?

Today as I was getting ready to go and sing with Madrigals, I was walking around in my long black and quite formal dress. Then someone knocked on the door. So I went to answer it and low and behold it was a salesman. He looked at me for a second and seemed very shocked. Then he stuttered " Wow looks like you're going somewhere." I never thought I would enjoy anything a salesman had to say to me. But for some reason that was really funny and made my day much better.

Best Day Yet...

Here are the top ten reasons why today is so great.

• I don't have school!
• I got to go running with my darling and beautiful friend Bronwen.
• I have a job interview at Coldstone, booya.
• I get to sing with my mama tonight.
• I get to do the Porchlight Parade for the last time ever!!! After tonight I will never walk around Provo asking for money.
• Bronwen
• Bronwen
• Bronwen
• Bronwen
• Did I mention that Bronwen is my friend and I love her and she makes my days wonderful.Now enjoy this adorable picture of me and my friend who I love so dearly.

I remember... wait what?

Why Concussions are a good thing:
You can claim you forgot and people take it as a real excuse. Example: I didn't read in English, so I told my teacher that I didn't read because I wanted to actually remember what I read, so I was going to read later. ( all of this is actually a real excuse) and he happily forgave me for not reading! Yeah concussion got me out of doing homework, awesome!

You can watch the same movies over and over and not get sick of them. I watched Despicable Me twice this week and I now remember that I watched it but don't remember what actually happens in the movie. Something about orphans, and villains, and I vaguely remember a carnival. So don't give it away. Or if anyone hasn't seen it and would like to, I'm totally up for it.

That's basically all the pros to concussions in case you were wondering. And just for future reference, I do know who you are and what your name unless I don't know you, and in that case I would kindly appreciate if you would stop creepily stalking me. Thanks...

A few guilty pleasures I have indulged in recently...

• Zumba- ya, I know it's a little embarrassing, I only do it when all the blinds are closed and there aren't many people around. But for some reason I get some sort of sick enjoyment out of making myself look like a dancing, aerobic exercising fool!!!
  
• So Sexy Shampoo- The name is a tad bit scandalous but what can I say, I'm addicted. So now I'm going to have to spend way to much money buying shampoo from Victoria Secret because it smells really good!
  
• Buying new running clothes- for some reason (even though I can't stand buying clothes) I love getting new exercise clothes.
• So those are a few of my mildly amusing and embarrassing pastimes.
