hey ya

oh man, i'm very sorry for that. i haven't updated in so long. i don't even have a good excuse, i was just being oh so lazy. i can't find my mom's camera, but when i do i will let you all know about my christmas and presents. right now, school is boring and i cannot wait for the next break. well we don't have school tomorrow which is very nice indeed. it seems like all the shows are starting now, so i'm back to watching the tv like every night. i did have a nice little break when there was like pretty much nothing on, but i guess thats over now. here's my week in television: monday-the city, and heroes when it starts on feb. 2; tuesday- american idol, and the biggest loser; wednesday- american idol yet again, and lost; thursday- i get a break til survivor starts feb. 12; and friday- ghost whisperer and numb3rs. yup its a pretty full schedule. in between all that i have homework, mutual, and anything else that pops up. i like keeping myself busy though. well i decided you might not want to listen to my christmas music playlist anymore so i went ahead a made a new one for ya. my favorite song so far is mad by ne-yo. he has a nice voice. my birthday is comin up quick and i'm so excited. then in march i can finally get my license. don't be fooled by my background, i don't like the color pink, and i'm not excited for valentines' day. i'm so glad its on a saturday. some of you may wonder why, but trust me...if your not a little kid then you don't get candy, and if your not dating or married to someone you don't get candy. you just get to see all the other people walk around with flowers and candy. so really its pretty much the most jank holiday ever. well i promise i'll keep it up, and won't slack off watching all my tv shows and getting fat. jk. but really, i will post quickly with the pictures and such.

Check it out now...

Last Friday i went to my friend Shayna's house so i could go with her to her ward's christmas party. that day it was decided by someone (who knows who came up with it) that thursday was going to be "Ugly Christmas Sweater Day" probably inspired by the new drake and josh christmas movie where they have an ugly christmas sweater party. well, i just had to be in on this dress up day, so me and shayna went around to different thrift stores in search of the ugliest christmas sweaters we could find. now, believe me, we have a TON of thrift stores here. no d.i., but a lot of hospice ones and a big salvation army. our first stop was the salvation army, and they have some of the ugliest clothes i've ever seen, but you know i was grateful that i didn't have to shop there regularly. they did, also have some kinda cute things, or at least things that could be cute in a kind of funky way. well everything there was kind of gross, and we didn't find any real christmas sweaters, so we went to the next stop. this was a little hospice thrift store, and we weren't expecting to find much. but as soon as the door opened, we layed our eyes on the most wretched sweaters i've ever seen. they were perfect. so of course we grabbed them, 2 for $4, what a deal. so we decided to wear them to the christmas party. on friday nights, our little city of grass valley, which is the cutest little mining town ever, has whats called "cornish christmas". they block the main streets off and people dress up, they have a nativity seen and people have little booths to sell things. its so much fun. well before we went to the christmas party, we decided we needed to make our outfits even uglier, so we went to the dollar store and tried to find ugly glasses, but they only had kinda cute ones. well we got a pair and popped the lenses out bc neither of us need glasses then we were off to the partay. the grass valley ward (which is the ward shayna is in) has a lot of older people, and they didn't get our little outfits, and all thought the sweaters were so cute. and then we saw a lady that had a sweater just like ours and the SAME glasses. she probably didn't think we were very funny. well anyways, today was the official day and me and shayna wore our sweaters. only like 5 other people wore them, but thats okay bc ours were the best.

at the party.

VISITORS!

well, i figured maybe people wouldn't want to read about michael phelps's nasty picture anymore (not to mention now he has a NASTY gf to go along with it) they both take gross pictures so maybe thats why they like eachother bahahah. oh well, he's goin on down the drain. well anyways... my grandparents came up to visit us from texas on thursday and spent the weekend with us. it was really fun, and i hope they come again sometime soon :) i wish i had pictures, but i unfortunatly do not. we went to kenyans basketball game, which was at 8:30pm on a school night and an hour away (i'm such a rebel) well it was an AMAZING game. we were down 15 in the 4th quarter and then we caught up and beat the other team in overtime. my very own brother had 24 pts. i love love love going to the games. i look like the little girl from remember the titans though (if you don't know what i'm talking about then go watch the movie and you'll understand), i get so into them. there next couple of games are all far away on school nights, but i don't care. they are so worth being dead tired the next day. if only my mom would let me go... jk i'd need a ride anyways and those are hard to come by when the games 2 hours away. maybe i'll get lucky. i hope the team dominates, but i know they will cuz they hav some mighty fine players. i meant that skill wise...

EWWWWW!!!

Okay, everyone should now by now that i am a HUGE michael phelps fan. i love love love him. he was recently in people magazines issue that stated the "100 sexiest men alive". for those of you that haven't seen his picture in it, don't waste your time. my friend told me that he was in it so we went to go look at it and it is one of the most disgusting pictures ever. i could not believe he would pose in a picture like that. it was the most unattractive photo of him i've ever seen. it almost makes me like him less..almost. i wish he would've drawn a line there and not taken the picture. sorry i know people are probably going to want to go look at it, but don't it makes him look disgusting and i'm embarassed for him that tons of his fans are gonna go look at it and be grossed out, or at least the mormon ones haha jk.

he should stick to these candid shots of himself there cute :)

oh ya...it's time

okay, so i guess that some people could argue that november 9th is a little early to put christmas music on your blog, but you know what i say to them? too freakin bad. i start listening to christmas music as soon as november starts, and i don't stop till i see the sun again on a regular basis. which is usually around february. oh and i don't listen to anyone but josh groban...and occasionally mariah carey. but mostly josh groban because he's my favorite person in the world. i think he has the most amazing voice ever. he's cute too. i LOVE him. thats how he'll smile on our wedding day. jk. not really.
