Don't worry, about a thing

I hate it when hairbands get stretched out from holding my locks in a messy bun.

So I decided to use it to my advantage and make a bracelet!

I love the colorful mexican bracelet look but I don't like it with every outfit.

I wanted to make something that I could take on and off depending on the day

but still get the boho look I was after.

I like to call it

It's as simple as that!

I just really have been liking this song ever since I was waiting for 

Cars 2 to start and it was in one of the previews.

Pinterest is the new blogging

Just throwing that out there.

But you have to be cool, and interested in art/fashion/new trends

I hate it when I click on my next button and the blog has music.. my sound levels are never where I want them to be at the time and it get me irritated. 

I need to make a new CD for my car,

I need new chill music and new Sunday music.

I'm cutting my hair on THURSDAY NIGHT!!

Then driving straight home,

then waking up the next day and driving to Cali-freakin-fornia!

Thursday will be eventful, chopping some hairs,

driving, celebrating my birthday= opening presents

but on my real birthday. JULY 9th (FYI)

It's going to be an event.

Court, you better start planning.

Pedicures is a start just in case you were needing ideas

 I love Seattle

 Photog by my niece S via trip home last weekend

"I've Got a perfect BODY, But sometimes I forget

I've got a perfect body, cause my eyelashes catch my sweat"

name it

The last two days have been the most interesting days ever.

I've had an abundance of ideas, fashion trends, to do's, and random wants

that my body and schedule can't keep up with.

Pinterest is killing me.

To start off, Friday and Saturday I spent in a disguise. 

I had the opportunity to be anyone I wanted to be.

I could creep people out, and they would never know it was me.

Have I built up the suspense enough?

Here it goes:

Don't worry, that's my boss^

I actually work at the dairy, but scooping Ice Cream usually.

But on this special occasion,

I got to represent all the cows of Edaleen Dairy and walk in a PARADE

Don't worry. My sister went, and there is video footage of me doing a special dance for her.

but that will come later

NEXT on the interesting cycle came Sacrament Meeting in Bellingham Singles Ward

MARRIAGE

who would have guessed right?

I thought it was mainly a BYUI thing but I guess it's more of a singles ward thing.

A girl was speaking and talking about the analogy of 

not putting off for tomorrow that which can be done today.

She then goes on trying to relate this to dating and how boys need to buck up and

not be chickens and just talk to girls and ask them out.

She proves that they are fun and instead of putting it off, you can 

ask them out today, and possibly get a follow up date tomorrow.

HOWEVER. EPIC FAIL

The words above flowed out of her mouth in the most utterly awful way possible:

Keep reading if you will

"BOYS, If you don't put it off, you can do her today and tomorrow!"

and there goes all chance of recovery for a spiritual ending, she turned beat red,

said "But not like that!" (which made it worse)

closed her talk and that was the conclusion of Sacrament Meeting.

If you're an LDS reader, I painted a clear picture.

If not, use your imagination and picture a room of awkward boys and girls who are afraid

of talking about what happens after a wedding, and even more afraid

of imagining or mentioning it.

That sums up the extent of weird-ness

-There was also a man who ate a SUPER size soft serve cone in 17 seconds (to win a t shirt)

-An over weight man who ate almost 2 QUARTS of ice cream in about 4 minutes (also for a t shirt)

-The Little Caesars mascot going in to kiss me (as I was in the cow costume)

-A boy who wanted a picture with the cow, and wrapping his arm around my waist soon realizing I was a skinny girl and got a little closer and tighter

-A very attractive guy coming in for Ice Cream and staying a little longer than it took to make the cone

Did I mention I finished The Hills seasons

BUT DON'T WORRY

I started watching The City, which is Whitney's spin off which I LOVE

Probably better than the Hills because it's in NY and all about fashion and boys ;)

IBELIEVEINATHINGCALLEDLOVE

Hugs or kisses?

X's or O's?

I never know which one is which!

What if I wrote to a boy and signed it XX and that meant Kiss kiss but I really only wanted a hug from that boy, and not I've got a dilemma because this boy thinks i'm wanting more, but I really only wanted a friendly hug, and now I made everything super awkward by two simple letters.

Well, that's never actually happened, because I never write boys letters for one, and two I always thought it was super girly and lame to write XO on ANYTHING, but I am headed back to the Loveberg soon

and if Nacho Libre can do it, it must be cool.

In all circumstances when you have a question, the first thing to do is turn to Nacho.
Should I wear sweats today? YES
Should I use my hand, to wipe my tears? YES
Should I make a delicious salad for lunch?
Wear stretchy pants in your room for fun?
Make a friend named Chancho?
Know a butt load of crap about Gospel?
Is my favorite color Light Tan?
Get that corn outta my face?
Eat eggs to give you eagle powers?
Sing at the party?
(okay I've gotten way outta hand)


Nacho knows all.

"My life is good. Real good"

It's official

Think I can pull it off?

It's here, It's now, It's hot

let the summer adventures begin!

 It all started with a little Kayak trip, when I say little, I mean little.

The waves were pretty big and the tide was NOT on our side

While working off the farmers tan,

We did a little rock climbing..

..my summer tan line goal. It's going to be sweet!

My other summer goal, MASTER the rip stick

Working on my "athletic stance" 

 He had days of practice on me.. unfair advantage

But I pretty much am in love with rip stickin'

END OF STORY

I'm stuck in colder weather

..and colder weather is stuck in my head!
I love Zac Brown Band, they are rad.

So I finally took the pictures off my camera that I have been meaning to blog about and found a long section of pictures of random things, mostly blurry, but a lot like this:

Taking a wild guess i would think that my nephew went on a little picture taking spree:)

I love it, he's adorable, and so are his toes!

I didn't think I would actually like them, but they're growing on me.

I'll save them for the wedding though.

What I'm super duper excited about though is my new CHACOS!!!

There they are.

They're beautiful

I can't WAIT for the tan line :)

The master

I think I have mastered the messy bun... it has become a common hairstyle

since I have to have my hair up for work.

My latest addiction:

Peach yogurt (or any other flavor really)

and Special K cereal

DELICIOUS

and healthy!

also works with Fiber one cereal

or any other flakey oaty granola-ish type

Have you ever reached the end of the internet?
I have...

Why do I stay up so late?

Last night I had a great night out

We went to a park right on the water and it was

-IDEAL-

Such a beautiful night

Then I got home late and decided I wouldn't be able to sleep

unless I watched the Bachelorette:)

so I did

and I didn't regret it.

last night's episode was great

scum bag Bentley went home

(thank goodness because I was sick of hearing him

bash on Ashley and obsess over Emily)

Sir William whipped out a few too many jokes at the roast, 

sent the Bachelorette into tears,

and when she needed "comforting" 

he told her I can't undo what I did so get over it

I think he's my favorite

Well, except I do love Ryan.

I called it. I knew I would.

He's sweet

and real

and I super cute

but who really knows if he's "real"

it's a show.

As much as I love watching their fantasy dates

I still know that ANYONE can "fall in love"

on these dream dates that no real person could actually do on a weekly basis

But how can I forget!

The moment we all waited for...

The man under the mask was revealed! 

...and quite frankly Ashley didn't like what she saw

Cause he went home.

And he was "a lot older" than she thought

HA!

Guess we won't have anymore closing bathroom shots

Why the heck is she keeping Ames around?

I would get kinda grossed out

and Constantine

I get a little embarrassed for her every time she has to say his name.

JP on the other hand.

I like him now.

Didn't think I would.

But I do.

He's a nice kid... man I mean

So why is it that I stay up so late?

because I have a problem just doing things to get them done.

They have to be pretty.

Even if it means I do a little extra work

No one else in my art class combined all their pictures

I can't just post the pictures plain..

BORING!!

Farmers Day Parade

Thanks to all you hard working farmers out there

who let me enjoy eating as much as I do.

Here is a little bit of what a Farmers Parade looks like

for those of you who live in big cities, or cardboard boxes

 Big, shiny, brand new tractors

 Being in a dutch town there are children with little wooden shoes roaming the streets

 My next boyfriend WILL know how to play a banjo, and WILL have a pair of brown over-alls

There is the old tractor that has been around just as long as the driver

 Don't worry! They remembered the HAY!

 Doing good while still sticking to the theme

At first glance my carni side was kicking in, but shortly shot down by field labor

AND THEN...

THERE IT WAS...


coming right down the street

A tool symbolic of my summer 2010.

Something that changed my life forever.

The berry picking machines.

How would you like spending a summer on one of these bad boys!

At times I miss it,

coming home and smelling like jam.

But then I remember

I was just a berry sorter

-MINIMUM WAGE-

One for One

For every pair you buy, they give a pair to a child in need.

I felt good about this!

So I ordered these bad boys:

TOMS shoes

Another reason for the random burst of buying these was the fact that

NICOLE is getting MARRIED!

and she is wearing the TOMS wedding shoes

and her bridesmaids are wearing grey ones

So I picked these.. Stripes.. Fancy that.

If i'm spending money on these i'm getting ones i'll wear again

duHH!

Now I need to go pick up my paycheck

$$$

Slacker

I'm really slacking on taking pictures

So i'm going to change

So in the near future,

plan for some awesome pictures

I wonder why my nieces are scared of flushing 

the toilet?

Every night i come home and they are sounds asleep,

I look in the toilet and find mounds of toilet paper

(Obviously from more than one girl)

many layers

and am confused to why they don't flush.

Maybe i'll ask them

...maybe I won't

I plan on going on a hike soon

and a beach party on Friday

I am in need of a hike through the woods

and I know the perfect person to go with me :)

pictures from those^

yes, they will come don't worry

I don't want to work today

I stayed out till 1:30 last night and I have no 

motivation to go haul gallons of milk and 

scoop ice cream for cranky East Indians

(was that too bold of me to post such a thing?)

"Can I have two Bah-Nilla Ice Cream"

-What size would you like?

"Bah-nilla Ice Creams"

-Small, medium, large, or super

"Uhhh" (insert bobble head here)

-Patiently waiting

"blank stare"

-Small, medium, large, or super

"don't know"

WELL SHOOT I DON'T EITHER!!

One of the better ones was when a elderly man

(East Indian)

asked me if we have WIPE- ED BUTTA

-why yes we do have whipped butter!

Oh and when someone asked me if our milk was magic

and I kindly responded,

It sure is, why do you think so many people buy

shopping carts loaded full of it,

and our chocolate milk comes straight from the brown cow

But probably best of all

was when a mid 40 year old man came up,

asked me to tell him what flavors the yogurts he was buying were

and then asked "Just how much milk is in your Chocolate Milk"

-There's quite a bit!

...and I left it at that

maybe he'll figure it out someday,

maybe he'll learn that 2% milk is talking about the fat percentage

and not the amount of milk.

But then again, maybe he won't.

this post definitely deserves this picture
