hasta la vista, baby.

i'm outta here, so don't expect any posts this weekend. (not that you care, you non-commenting readers.... shame on you.)

i have a weekend planned in california with my fam. disneyland, heathers wedding, beach, family--perfection.

oh yeah, and sunscreen.

happy sabbath

today ended up being a good day. it rained. it even snowed a bit, but by the end of the day the sun came out and it was perfect. i was lucky enough to drive up to slc to see this cute baby and her wonderful parents. could i have asked for better or more normal married friends to live across the street from me? i think not. bring on the sugar shack...life is only about to get better.

i drove home and headed upstairs in my complex to visit some girlfriends. three girls ended up on one twin bed eating chocolate and talking about boys. i felt like i was in jr. high again, but it was perfection. there were some classic one liners said in that room... very insightful, or maybe it was the chocolate talking.
don't worry. the night didn't end there. i got a call from the gubes, who is recently home from her internship in dc. my goodness, i'm always laughing when i'm with elise. always plenty to talk about, and things to catch up on. she always knows just the right thing to say. what a great friend! i'm glad she's back--for a bit anyways. she's planning on moving back to dc in june, so it looks like i'll be planning a trip to go visit!


and now, it's past my bedtime....but worth it to be up so late. happy sunday!! and to think in 3 days, i get to leave provo :)

don't cry for me argentina....

no, a boy did not do this. no one died, and i'm not injured. but i did cut an onion this morning. an onion of death. don't get me wrong, i've cried while cutting an onion before, but NEVER like this. tears would not stop. burn was constant. i had to take breaks and try to rub my eyes with my wrists.
my eyes are burning again just thinking about it.

while i was chopping, my roommate googled "how to cut onions without crying"...my two favorite suggestions were 1.learn to cut onions faster and 2. have your spouse cut the onions.

thank you google.

summer lovin'

i started my secret summer project.
can't wait.
get excited, a.

no words.

well, okay. three.

GONNA. MISS. YA.

...but dc awaits....

april showers....

this past wednesday was "secretaries day", so squire got all of the assistants flowers and sent us out to lunch. that big arrangement in the middle is mine....

...ok, that was a joke.

all i wanted was a popsicle...

my freezer is waayyyy too full. all i wanted was a popsicle, and a million things fell out. it ended up taking me 20 minutes to arrange everything so i could shut the door again.

...and it will all fall out again the second the door is opened again. and i don't care, as long it's not me that opens the door.

who put my popsicles in the back of the freezer anyways?
