CA Loving.

This bear proves that vacations in California are the beary best! (Really does life get any better than sun, swimming, food, family and the BEST shopping ever? I think not!) Recap when I get back to Ewwtah.

MIA Much?

Despite the fact that it's summer and I should basically be posting all the awesomeness I've been up to lately, this week has been so incredibly boring and will continue to be until Monday...hopefully. All that's occurred lately:

-getting my car fixed

-getting my tires rotated and the air pressure checked 

-working on a talk for this Sunday in church

-sleeping in 

-getting so much mail

-walking around because it's the cool thing to do

-wanting it to be Sunday afternoon already so I have no obligations

-exchanging purchases at the mall

Next week will bring loads more excitement due to my brief vacation in the lovely Southern California minus the fact that there will be 13 people in one very tiny house...Until Monday people!

Long Weekend Festivites.

Memorial day weekend means summer is just around the corner. Mine was spent whooping it up with family in Wyoming working hard, having loads of laughs and eating a crap ton of food. There was never ending raking and mowing and brush burning but the yard looks 500 times better than it did with the long grass and weeds everywhere. I discovered than raking >weeding(so many bugs live in the dirt...sicknast) Raj and I died laughing at the little boys taking water breaks every 5 minutes and only fishing for 20. I was sad we didn't get to have cute little Ella bug with us but we will see her in a few weeks when we head down to California. Hopefully the next few weeks will fly by!

Just a typical lovely day in the lovely Star Valley.

 Loveliest smokebombs I've ever set off. Who knew fireworks could double as art?

 We won't even get into the horrid state that is my face and outfit but I held that snake and didn't even drop it like some people. Snaps for me.

Monday DP's should be mandatory.

Yesterday was just the kind of Monday that I needed to make my week be even more rockstar than usual. First shout out to the little brosef Dos on his 22nd year of life. I finally got my amazon gift card and ordered some cookbooks I've been lusting over for months. For FHE, we went to this assisted living home for young adults and they had a dance. It was pretty much everything I love about dances combined into one fab event. I saw some other EFY people there and that always leads to a joyous experience...pssht. I love that moment when you are dancing on the dance floor and feel self conscious because you have no friends and then all of a sudden your friends come in out of nowhere and chaos happens! This happened to me and I went from awkward friendless dancing girl to watch out Beyonce, I run the world (err...dance floor? yep.) We whooped it up for 2 hours and I loved seeing people's inhibitions fly out the window while they got down and dirty on the dance floor (Not to dirty though...this be the 801 yo) After dancing, I went to the market for much needed supplies (sour licorice belts and watermelon jelly bellys...what the unhealthy?) and since I was out, Yogurtland sucked me in to buying froyo even though I had Ben and Jerry waiting on me at home #sorryhombres. I had quite the feast while watching Beauty and the Beast and then killed myself doing arms and a squat challenge. I partied like it was my birthday and want to have a dance party every day now because it was tres fun. If only Nikki and Katherine would have been there too, it would have gone to even higher levels of awesomeness. 

These girls wish they went as hard as my girls and I went tonight. I think some people may have judged my dancing/wondering who this other side of Angela is...whatevs #alreadyoverit

Sunday Reflections.

Today was great for about 500 different reasons but I'll just list a few:
-I finally have my fav gummy bears again 
-afternoon naps
-church was rockstar (JC leading music with a baton and holster for said baton attached to belt #priceless)
-smoothie breakfast
-leftover pizza for dinner is the best
-actually talking to people I don't know at ward prayer
-finding out cute boy did stay for summer and looked dang good working his red pants...feel free to #holla@yagirl ANYTIME!

Life Lately.

Weekends are fantastic yet they fly by so fast! I have been so out of it lately so I've decided I need to come up with things to do to keep me busy. Working out is something I've started to do and it has made such a difference in my day and is worth all the soreness. I need to invest in a yoga mat and some decent running shoes. I've also been eating less crap food and more healthy stuff. Fruit smoothies are my jam as of late. They almost make me consider giving up frozen yogurt...dang #dolewhippineapple. Also, I forgot how great He's Just Not That Into You is...story of my #datingfails. Gigi's story is pretty much my life. The sister's in the movie outtakes murder me! Feliz cumpleanos to my Jingle Bells! She's the bestest mother a girl like me could have and such a great example of what a wifey and mother should be. I hope she comes to visit me soon so we can celebrate in person!

Dear May.

I love the change that a new month brings. May means summer is here in Utah and everyone and their mom is at Yogurtland 24/7...sick to the nast nast nast! What am I supposed to eat all summer long people? I've decided to adopt a workout routine and it is kicking my buns for real yo. I need to work on my fitness though if anyone expects me to go to 7 Peaks at all. I made a ridiculous amount of salsa for Cinco de Mayo and wish that it was here already! I love celebrating anything that involves eating my weight in Mexican food and drinking gallons of the ever delicious horchata...hi, get in my belly kthanks. Sunday, I'll def be rocking a maxi dress to hide any food babies. At least with all my working out, I can afford to eat the way I plan to come Saturday. May brings the national Jingle Bells month (mother's day + Jings' birthday), Dos' birthday and otter pop/shave ice season. Good thing I bought new clothes to wear since it looks like I plan on eating all summer according to this post #foodbabyforlife...yikes? Bring on the sweet summertime.

Sicky Sick Face.

Remember how I had MAJOR plans for this weekend that involved being anywhere away from my casa except to sleep? Obviously I needed to chill and be miserable all weekend long. Needless to say, I am officially caught up on every tv show I care to watch, blogstalked the planet, and have lived on a fluid diet the past 36 hours. I have the most rotten timing for getting ill ever! Why can't I ever get sick when I actually go home where my loving mother can tend to my every whim?! Instead I get the joy of slaving over making myself better and knowing my luck, I'll be 110 percent better by Monday morning. I'm excited to eat normal people food again, especially since I had a long overdue date for making pizza and cookies. When I kick this sore scratchy throat of death, I'm going to throw a fiesta for one. Also dear roommate, I am so not picky when it comes to guys. To be picky, one must have guys to pick from and...yeah, I got nothing. Not even one man to pick and reject. Thanks for bringing that one up for the 2nd time. 3rd times a charm, no?

Guess who's back?

Not Shady unless that's a secret alias I'm unaware of for myself. Life's been super busy around these parts and over the past few months I've been everywhere from the snow covered mountains in Wyoming to the toasty sun in Southern California. I've picked up some new addictions draw something app, instagram (still don't get how to find my peoples even check my own pics online...#socialmediachallengedmuch?), talenti gelato in sea salt caramel...goodbye waistline! I love traveling to "Sallake" to hang with my crew and eat/shop/people watch. (I actually people watch anytime, anywhere especially on DR, what?) I'm so grateful the weather is getting nicer and hopefully I can start rocking sandals all day, everyday and laying out and getting my skin cancer on. I need to find a way to move into Britt's house so I can swim/hot tub/just dance. Since my 2 week vacation, I hadn't seen my Friday temple people and they are such darling old dears! I am still up in arms about whether Friday or Wednesday is "better" for me (wednesday-super fine brother working or friday-fav old people...decisions decisions) I am looking forward to summer fruit sales so I can make smoothies and salsa for every meal. Summer 2012 is going to be a good one, I can feel it. I just need to make some more friends so my life will be more social in the sun and a little less book reading in the library.

Feet are gross but it was Tom's "A Day Without Shoes" and I had their essie made polish "A day without blues" so a photo was necessary.
My fav snack in the world courtesy of Disneyland. 1 bag down, 2 more to last me until my next trip...#willpowerbaby.

New Month, New Challenges.

February photo challenge-my view from today. My bedroom office/chaotic organized mess. I love the brightness of it all though.
