if you know me at all, you know i love snowcones.
i mean, i could practically live on them
all day. every day.
so when i woke up this morning 
dieing for a snowcone
i was immediately forced into a state of depression.
because the 'super sno shavers' by my house doesnt open for another week.
it was a tragic thought....but THEN
as my mom and i were driving my sister to her violin lesson
there it was.
a snow shack. not MY snow shack. but an OPEN snow shack none the less.
i hopped out of the car, and with a huge smile on my face orded myself a snow cone for dinner.
now, my awesome flavor-blending-skills may be a little rusty
and this shack didnt have my favorite flavors,
BUT i was indeed satisfied.
cause it was delicious.
and it tasted like summer :)

also, this made me happy
and this...of course
and my next door neighbor (who is a 1st grade teacher retiring next week)
called me up and said she had an entire rubber maid container of teacher stuff for me
*screams!*
oh man. its like christmas!
seriously!
class room sets of books,
and judy clocks,
teacher manuals.
bahhh sooo many happy things!
and best of all?
she has another box that she will have ready for me at the end of the week.
oh today was a good day.


Monday

05.24.10

really weird dreams that you only have when you are sick
disney channel movies
seeing sunshine and happy fluffy clouds out my window, as all my utah friends complain of the snow
more harry potter
finally being able to eat after 20+ hours
...food of choice? waffles.

Sunday

05.23.10

i told myself when i started this little project of mine that i had to do this 100% of the way
no cutting corners, and no skipping out... even when i have a royally crappy day
well, on  this day, sunday the 23rd i experienced what was pretty close to a royally crappy day.
and the cause you ask? the flu.
but i am here to tell you all that there is happiness in every day.
im serious.
it may take some extra pondering
and a little bit of optimism, 
but its there.
just search real hard.

my happy things:
facebook- ya so what if im semi obsessed. its one of those guilty pleasures that i dont feel so guilty about anymore. i have fully embraced my facebook addiction.
herb tea-yummm
harry potter-just reading HP, i was whisked off to a 'happy place'
saltine crackers-like i said, with a little bit of optimism, ya can find happy things in each day, right?
sleep-ahhh sleep. this needs no explanation

Saturday

spent the afternoon scrapbooking 
and watching my fair lady.

google all pacman-ed out
totally brightened my day :)

found out twin a AND twin b 
both made it into falcon jazz as 8th graders.
i only got to be a part of awesome falcon jazz-ness as a 9th grader
but that was a good 9 years ago...
when show choir was cool
and people appreciated the music department.
...ahhhh those were the good old days
i even have the crappy pics to prove it:


then subway with the parents
which included an awesome paris bag 
that the not-so-happy subway worker
let me have without having to buy a kids meal :)

it was a good day

major down pour in moab last night
which caused us to leave at 10 pm
and arrive in SLC at 3 am
haha awesome.
sleeping in was very nice for my very sore muscles
and on a mattress for that matter...
then we had lots of prepping for katies wedding shower
which in my mind was a complete success!
hooray for marriage :)
and hooray for my dear katie!

sadly i do not have a pic of the ever-so-awesome bridal shower
but this is one of my favorites from one of the many 'katie and whitney adventures'
it was taken last year at La Push Beach.
yes that La Push Beach.
dont judge.

and it was worth every moment.

packing. cleaning. moving.
and leaving behind logan as well as all my dear friends was very hard today
and therefore put me in a bad mood for quite some time.
but driving into the sunset towards home
with 4 hours of glee, jason mraz, and tyler ward blasting through my little blue car
was enough to put a smile on my face.
let summah begin...
*please disregard the smeared bird poop and bug guts on my windshield...
*or embrace the smeared bird poop and bug guts on my windshield and look at it as me giving you "the full experience" of my lovely 4 hours drive :P

either way, just know that the sunset was indeed beautiful

also, check out Kym's funny dream she had.
seriously, fingers crossed that this all works out!!!
