I could have died

So I was driving today, DRIVING, and I was paying attention to the road... and fixing my hanging air freshener. as soon as i adjust it, a flipping SPIDER decides to use my rear view mirror as an anchor for his repelling entertainment! I started screaming my head off! I swerved into the other lane! and i came to a screeching halt on the side of the road and jumped out of my car like it was on fire! people actually probably thought it WAS on fire haha. (mind you: this is the SECOND time a spider has came to say hello to me in my car. the first time i was not driving yet.) but literally I, like many, have a massive fear of spiders. I have never even killed one on my own (thanks dad). I have this fear that as soon as my hand gets close to kill it, it is going to dodge it and jump onto my hand and bite me and then i will die because i had an unknown allergy to its venom... that or i will turn into a super hero, and i am just not prepared for that milestone in my life.

I looked all around for some man to come kill it for me, but for some reason there are only mom's out during sunlight hours. I didn't want to ask a mom. So i just sucked it up (not the spider) and looked in my car to find something to kill it with. object found: snow scraper. I was freaking out, saying only up lifting words, and I quickly just smashed him. actually i cut him in half... gross. I hope he forgives me by the time i get to heaven and i have to meet him and apologize for murdering him...

but i could have died!

p.s. I get told by various different people at least every other week that i am a tiny bit dramatic... i tell them i am not dramatic, i am animated and passionate!
animated + passionate + a lot of energy = dramatic.
darn.

best day ever

let me tell you about my best day ever...

today I:

called into work, and other various responsibilities and told them i was sick

(don't judge me, you know you have done it)

Then i ate breakfast, went back to bed until 12:00

then I walked out to the couch and... took another 2 hour nap. then I woke up and got out my paints and canvas and engaged in my new favorite hobby, oil painting.

I painted for hours, listening to Ingrid Michaelson Pandora radio.

Then I watched the Modern Family episode from last night.

Went and watched the BYU game :(

got my heart broken and went through 1/2 a box of tissues,

watched Grey's Anatomy with my bestie: made up for the cougars loss. epic episode!

came home, ate cottage cheese with peaches, got in sweats, and watched The Office.

(and held my roommate in my arms as she cried over the breakup with her boyfriend...

Jimmer. poor thing. she is devastated)

Can't deny it- best day ever.

Not at my house

I was looking for the remote control to the TV in our couch today, because for some reason couches favorite food is remotes.

but apparently at my house, their other favorite delicacy is PULLEYS!

what!? this is what i found deep down in the couch.

seriously?

I might as well have found a sharks tooth.

There is only ONE animal that I am scared of...

I went and fed horses with my friend Whitney the other day. Okay, i am an animal guru. a dog whisperer and a furry lover. but I have NEVER been around horses and they are HUGE! and I had this fear that while i was feeding them, one would bite off my hand and i couldn't play the piano or do art anymore. legit fear right? right.

So I 1/2 faced my fear and 1/2 attempted to feed them out of my hand :)

(sorry for the bad quality videos)

duly noted.

I discovered something about myself a little while back... I cannot take Excedrin.

I had never taken it before and i had a headache the size of Texas and Tylenol was not helping, so my friend suggested this.

Well I rarely drink caffeine, i am already a pretty anxious person, and i am extremely sensitive to medications (get that from my dad). So i took this and i went CRAZY! i was pacing quickly up and down the hallway, sweating like crazy, talking 100 mph, crying then laughing then mostly crying, shaking and jittery, felt like i was in a land of fairies and unicorns whose horns were made of gold and rubies, and i was sure that i would prove all my friends wrong and show them that i COULD actually fly.

Never... Never will i take this medicine again.

(p.s. if you are wondering what my friends were doing during all of this: they were egging me on and laughing their heads off at my insanity. jerks.)

I will take that as a compliment

I took the Modern Family personality quiz and this is who i guess I am :)

One more funny clip for your entertainment

My new best friends

Let me tell you about my new little besties.

Names: the Lewis girls

These two monkeys are Lexi and Jane (2 out of the 4)

and they are my little buddies! maybe i hung out with them Friday and Saturday night last weekend. maybe i ditched a class to go play with them in the warm sun. Perhaps they call me just to say hi, and ask when i am coming to be with them again. And possibly they are the most snuggly, adorable little munch kins ever.

best part is, they just think I am the world's coolest person. They discovered this was a concrete fact after we went laser tagging and i was doing barrel rolls, army crawls, and spin moves. all with these little ones in tow. Yeah, i am awesome.

and I ADORE these girls.

(they live across the street from my cousins. that is how i met them. And if i am not with the Lewis girls, i am with my 15 year old cuz Riley. So much more fun that college kids :)

~Life is oh so Good~

I dare you...

My bestie is NUTS! and that is why i love her. gross Ed, you're so dang cool. :)

Thanks guys ( edward scissorhands cullen the III ) *inside joke: you know who you are.

Psssshhhh, i don't even know what they are talking about...

my friends say this video reminds them of me and so they emailed it to me.

THIS VIDEO

ok, maybe something i would possibly, maybe, eh... contemplate doing.

haha :)

Thank you ABC

Lately I have had trouble sleeping and so when i am up at oh 5:00am and can't fall back asleep, i watch this show on line until it is a decent hour to actually get out of bed. seriously, i woke my roommates up because i was laughing so hysterically. it is the funniest laugh out loud show i have ever seen. and thats saying a lot coming from and Office, Community, and 30 Rock fan. It is on Wednesday nights, but i have been catching up by watching them online. seriously beware because you might start setting your alarm 3 hours earlier so you can watch episodes before you have to go to work... or whatever it is you do.

watch this clip from it to just get a taste of the flippin funniness.

I know it's a problem

Ok so I have a little problem that i am fully aware of and i KNOW my limits with...

Because I am not the woman in this picture

Because I will never win a date with Tad Hamilton

and because I am not a candidate in the Make A Wish Foundation...

I am left with a medium sized empty space in my heart, and i fall asleep knowing that if these men could just MEET me, maybe they would ditch their hollywood lives and wives and run away with me. yes, i just know, they also feel this same emptiness in their hearts; and if only i could run across the beach and into their arms to tell them that the emptiness is is because they are missing ME in their lives! but since i sadly cannot do this (unless Oprah or Ellen or someone famous stumbles upon my humble little blog and decides to surprise me!!!!???) I will NOT go see this cutie on screen.

So THIS little movie going on, with this little dude, i absolutely refuse to see.

Why you ask? WHY? my friends all ask...

because i know my limits. and rumor on the street is that you fall madly in love with Justin after seeing this movie. people, obviously i have some issues with the three men above, and we are sorting things out. I CANNOT add another heart break, never going to have, trying to email Oprah to tell her why i deserve to meet them, head over heels crush on yet another celebrity.

I can't do it... I just can't. It only leads to heartache.

so good luck with everything little Bieber.

know that it is not personal, but i just have no more room for you in my, as you can see, complicated life.

Same goes with you Jimmer...

don't look at me that way,

I truly wish it could be different. it really is not you, it's me.
