I am in love.

My wonderful Atticus came back from Taiwan yesterday morning, and last night we finally got to spend some time together! He is kind of sad that I moved from my home in Nordic Valley because we don't live within walking distance of each other anymore (unless we feel like taking a long moonlight walk together... Ooo.... I just got the chills thinking about it!) but I guess the 10 minute drive won't kill us. So last night he came over and we made spaghetti and watched The Office, then we looked longingly into each other's eyes for about 6 hours. Oh the way they sparkle....! I can't wait to go skiing with him this afternoon, every waking moment we have together is like a fairytale!
Isn't Sherpa the BEST last name?!?!?! So hot right now.


yesterday i watched a movie about schizophrenia. uh..... hm.

Asparapuss

For years I have aspired to be an excellent Asparagus chef. I crave it daily, buy it on the cheap, bring it home, then when I'm feeling mighty fancy, I attempt to cook it. I think all-in-all I have cooked about 6,000 spears, and I've eaten maybe part of about 3 of them. Probly because they come out looking like this.

This particular batch came out of the pan with some of the pan still attached.

This batch was boiled with a sprinkle of lemon. killer.


killer disgusting. WHY ME!?

Ski, ski, ski, ski, concussion, jazz game, ski ski ski....

Last monday I was skiing with a bunch of buddies and my friend Tanner... umm... sort of went off a jump that i was standing on top of (he couldn't see me, or me him) and... stood on my head in a very fast and surprising manor. Thank goodness for helmets. I felt fine right after, we just sat there laughing our brains out (the spectators couldn't breathe they were laughing so hard) then as we skied down, my head started to hurt a little bit. No big deal, I just got got knocked out of my skis by a person in mid-air. I went and took a psychology exam at school and ended up with a whopping D+. Uh oh. Something isn't right. I went to the choropractor, he set my neck back where it was supposed to be, told me my head was fine, said "drink more water" and sent me on my way. So I headed to a Jazz game!

This is my buddy Robo who's face permanently looks like that. Crazy. ;)

After the Jazz game I loaded up on drugs and spent the next couple days at home on my couch. I guess my body doesn't like concussions very much. (What was Dr. Millet snorting that day? My head was NOT FINE!)
Anyway, I went skiing again this Monday and filmed Tanner doing his trick that he tried to do when I got in his way. So just imagine him doing this but with me about 4 feet from the take off. Or something.

My life is never boring

There's nothin like Hot Wheels to keep little boys (and JoJo's) busy!

This kid has Kepsel written all over him

So we're eating lunch after church today, and we all started laughing about something

Mom was spewing spaghetti all over

I've been studying Demonology in my psychology class... I took this picture to show them that it's all real.

Here Jayne, don't drool with laughter this time.

So... here's me... just workin on my glutes....

and all the while stuffing these into my face....

And watching this with tears streaming down my face. shut up.

This is a bit intimidating

Ok, so you know how when you're little everything seems so hard? Like when your brother pulls on the end of your socks and you can't get them to go back into the right position and you start whining and end up in your room? This is nothing like that.

On a more serious note... (HAHA yeah right!) the wee bit of our fam that still lives at home (or should I say LIVED at home... I got out of there a couple weeks ago hehe) went on a trip to California. It was shockingly different than any other vacation I had ever been on. We called it our "Weird Try-er Trip" because we kept doing weird things. I don't have very many of the pictures from the trip because I somehow forgot my beloved camera. Uh... How is that even possible. Above is a lovely picture of my interesting sister in front of Pedro's Tacos, which is basically my favorite place to eat in the whole widest world. Potato Tacos baby!!!

We were pretending to be hot.

This is a windmill in the town of Solvang at about 7am. Kinda nifty, yeah?

Hanna and I found many ways to entertain ourselves

By the end of the trip, The Nah and I figured we could pretty much write a book on all the valuable lessons we learned from being on the road for 6 days. It would be titled "One Million And One ways to bug the bajeebers out of Babo and JoJo"

Mmmm Big Sur is incredible.

Ok switching gears. Kind of a bad shot, but aren't these two the best?! They CRACK ME UP.

Probly one of my favorite pictures in the world. This girl is just too awesome.

This is me and my buddy Tanner heading up the JP lift at Basin getting ready to "shred the gnar." hahaha! pleh.

Over Christmas I had some friends over for a lil please-don't-die tubing party. I grabbed an IK (inflatable kayak) from work and we all boogied on down the hill like mad people. (I might have already blogged about this... hmm... oh well, I guess you'll have to read my lame stories twice. maybe.) My cousin Taylor and his girlfriend came up as well, which was uber epic.

This pic was taken in the downstairs of the DLD as I was waiting to go into a four hour class on how to be a better driver. Doesn't it look creepy though?! My hamstrings were shaking all over the place.
Welp folks, that's about all I can come up with for one everning! Oh! One more story! I don't have pictures to go along with it, but I'm hoping you'll be proud of me. Tonight I made cookies. That's right. COOKIES. And I only burnt most of them! Turns out living by myself has made me learn all kinds of things I would have never learned while living at home. Like how to shop for cheap groceries, how to manage my time better, etc. I was watching a movie the other day that used the term "Skinny Fat" for someone who is skinny but WAY out of shape, and I realized I fit that category perfectly. So I have started trying to eat better (good thing I burnt most of my cookies) and I've tried to get in some exercise every day after work or school or skiing, or whatever I happen to be doing all the live long day. It's been good! And I get more sleep when I'm here by myself, because I get so bored sometimes I just go to bed! So thank you thank you to my dearest Gramma Nette who is letting me stay in her house while she is out for the winter! Have I mentioned I LOVE psychology? Who knew? I think everyone should study it at some point in their life. The End.
Now how was that for random?

:(

Ok Jayne, I promise I really did think about blogging today. I thought of how happy it would make you. I contemplated the one comment you would give me. But then I remembered the 3 tickets, one traffic school class, and tuition I had to figure out how to pay for. And I remembered my two exams tomorrow that I wasn't at all prepared for, then dad wanted 50 dishes built, and I had to go check the mail for the t-shirts I bought for Trev and I (no we're not going to wear them at the same time) and the textbook that still hasn't come, then I had to watch American Idol! I'm really sorry Jayne! Maybe one of these days!
