I Would Really Enjoy This

I want this book.

Too bad there were only 1000 copies made. Too bad it's sold out. I mean, too bad it was 700 dollars. Sad day. 

You May Want to Watch this Over and Over Again

You know this is going to be my child.



But seriously, maybe BYU could learn a lesson here. I'm kinda tired of them touching the ball carrier and thinking he's just gonna fall down. Let's actually play some defense...

You Are Very Welcome Fall

I told my friends I was studying tonight and that's why I can't hang out. It's a good thing very few of them actually follow my blog. I would rather be doing this.

I really don't have anything profound to say, I just thought it was time to update my background from summer flowers to something a little bit more festive. I do love Halloween so. Remember last year's costume?

I hope you're all as excited as I am about this years costume. Maybe this year we won't wait until the day of to make our costumes, but I'm not keeping my fingers crossed. Pictures to come!

Sorry Mom...I Don't Know Why I Do It

A conversation I had yesterday with a boy sitting next to me in biology class...

Him: What year are you again?
Me: Well, I'm working on my master's degree so I dunno. I've been here too long.
Him: How have you managed to stay single?
Me: It's easy. I'm just really mean to all the boys.
Him: Oh.

I really don't know where that came from. Mom, dad, I know you want grandchildren from me one day, but I just can't seem to help myself. I don't know what it is. Oh well.

Not Sure Why...

     I may have done something really stupid. I signed up for a 7 a.m. lab every Tuesday. I had to. It was the only one that wasn't full and worked with my schedule. I woke up at 6:15 this morning. I am not happy when I have to wake up before 8, but seriously hate life when I have to wake up before 7. There were only six of us and the boy next to me is a self proclaimed morning person. He got up at 5:30 this morning. I know he's gonna end up in my group. Great.

     My only consolation is we have been promised we will be dissecting sharks.

PSYCH 342

1. My abnormal psychology class is two and a half hours long. I found several one way valves in my arms today in class.

2. I learned in class today that single, white, college-age females are the most depressed people in our society. Great. Fortunately the girl sitting in front of me reminded us that "it's not a bad thing to be single in college." She's married. I feel much better about things.

3. Today our teacher was summarizing the movie A Beautiful Mind for anyone in class who hadn't seen it. He summarized it like this...So, this guy is brilliant and going to some school, probably a really good one. Anyway, he's always in the library and is super stressed working on his thesis (sounds way too familiar these days). In his case, the stress causes him to go crazy and hallucinate. Also great. I may not want to spend so much time in the library working on my thesis.

This class is really starting to freak me out. 

Leavin' on a Jet Plane

I went on three vacations in April. Is that excessive? Now I feel like if I don't get on a plane every two weeks I'm going to go crazy. Anyway, since I'm trying to catch up on blogging, here's April...

It all started when Scott and Katie decided they missed me too much (wise people) so I got on a plane headed for Dallas. (Ok, maybe this trip was in February). Now, because Katie is way more caught up on her blog than I am, you can read the more detailed version on her blog here- Fun in Texas!- But really, we had tons of fun. There was lots of eating (Thanks again Katie for making my favorite raspberry bars) and lots of playing.

After I went to Fort Worth to see Scott, Katie and Sarah, my parents also decided they missed me too much. So, I went home for Easter weekend and had a blast! I don't have any pictures from this weekend because I didn't have time to steal them all from my mom's camera, but again, there was lots of eating and playing. Oh, and shopping. And the annual Easter Egg hunt in grandma's backyard. I made out quite well being the only grandchild at home this year. 

Two weeks after Easter, I went to California, because as one of my friends texted me when she found out I was there, "When are you not in San Diego?" In my defense, this trip had been planned for a long time. Last year I ran the Ragnar Relay in Arizona with some friends from SD. This year we decided to do the same in California. The race was 200 miles. Santa Barbara to Dana Point. It was such a good time! Of course when I got to SD the first thing I had to do was visit my old beach. I do miss Marine Street.

After I had gotten as much beach time as possible and seen my friends, we headed up to SB for the race. For those of you not familiar with Ragnar, a team of twelve runs 200 miles with each team member running three legs of varying lengths. My favorite run has always been number two- the night run. Last year it was me, my music, and the stars in the middle of some small town in Az. This year it was me, my music, and West Hollywood. Yep, I was running past all the popular bars and clubs on Friday night at about 10 in the pm. I got some strange looks, but it was fantastic. Here are some pics from the event...
