Addiction

I think I have a serious problem: I'm addicted to sweets! Usually of the chocolate variety, but if those aren't around, usually anything will do.

This became very apparent when my family left for UEA last week and left me with NOTHING sweet to eat! I almost died. In fact, my family's lucky that I'm still alive and well.

Next time, you might not be so lucky. Better stock up on some of these.

Or, if Oreos aren't available, I can always live of some Dove Darks!

I blame my dad for this addiction.

Winnings and Wannabes

I won a scarf in a blog giveaway!

Giveaways are the greatest. Usually all you do is comment on the blog and you have the chance to win something sweet.

My prize comes from this awesome gal's blog---who's also my aunt : )

I'm always blown away by her creative projects and amazing photos. She contributes to this sweet blog Hip Handmaids. They sponsor and advertise handmade giveaways. What a clever way to bring common blogs together.

I'm totally inspired and I wish I had time to exercise my creative juices . . . or discover them, as the case may be. I should start with something simple. But what?

And in totally unrelated news . . .

At a football game, I sat behind this 40-something lady with the craziest outfit:

Her SHOES matched her SHIRT!

What is she, some kind of Punk Wannabe?

Who knows.

This was at a BYU game, so why is she even wearing yellow? We played Colorado State and their colors are green and yellow, so MAYBE she was a stray Colorado fan. But the rest of her family were clearly BYU fans. So strange.

You Can Do This Too!

I folded a fitted sheet today! And not just crumpled it in some sort of square-ish mess, I actually folded it nicely. Are you proud? I have always wanted to know how to do this, correctly.

So I looked it up! And here's what I found on YouTube:

And then I tried it and it worked! It even looks nicer than my folded regular sheet. Amazing! Watch it and learn. Then you too can have amazing folding skills.

Somebody ate my Taquitos!

About a month ago, I bought a box of 20 Jose Ole Chicken Taquitos for those days I didn't feel like cooking (aka most days). Then when I went to go open the box this week and eat some, IT WAS ALREADY OPENED AND SOMEONE HAD EATEN SOME!

Lame.

So I had a few and then put them back in the freezer. Dumbest move yet. Of course the culprit would strike again--why didn't I think of that?

And so today I looked in the box and there were only 2 left! That's right, I ate 6 of the 20. Not even half! Don't worry, I didn't make the same mistake twice and quickly scarfed them down.

Come on people, eat your own food! Somebody owes me 14 taquitos.

I Mean Business

It's official..........

I got into the Business Management program at BYU!!

And now I've got 2 more years of hardcore business classes and hardly any room for elective classes anymore--kinda a bummer. But I'm very excited! I have loved my beginning business classes so far. Maybe not Accounting 210, aka "The Beast," but the rest have been awesome.

There's seven emphases in the management major; I'm going to do Finance (yes, following in my mother's footsteps).

Then there are 8 sub-emphases in the finance emphasis:

• Asset Management
• Investment Banking
• Personal Financial Planning
• Real Estate
• Corporate Finance
• Entrepreneurial Finance (hate that word by the way, so hard to pronounce!)
• International Finance
• General Finance

No idea which one to pick. Any thoughts?

Here's a link to a description of the finance major and what each sub-emphasis is, in case you are wondering.

Sweet, Sweet Summa

Here's where I was......

Navajo Lake

And here's where I'm going...

Lake Powell!

Right On!

Be Jealous

Yeah, I got a Mercedes.

Well, a 1990 Mercedes!

Here's a picture of something like the new beast:

Features include:

• a sweet sun roof
• windows that work
• a radio that doesn't work
• tires
• a steering wheel that adjusts forward and backward (as opposed to up and down)
• a button that snaps that backseat headrests down to see better!

This baby also boasts a mere 95,000 miles. Not bad for a car as old as me!
