My lovely cousin Jen tagged me on her blog. So I am sitting here, starting to answer these questions and I don’t know how. Do I just say the first thing to pop into my head or do I really think about it? Like the start of “I want:” for example, I could say a potpie or sleep or I could go a little deeper and say to have my car magically registered and the windshield replaced or I could go even deeper and say I want to travel the world with someone who I am madly in love with and not have any care in the world? Honestly, what do people want to read? Do I divolge a lot of personal information or just be silly? Let’s try a combo of both, eh?

Here we go!

I am: a woman
I think: entirely too much. Case and point the above paragraph.
I know: who I am, where I have been, and what I want. Ok that last part was a lie. I only mostly know what I want.
I want: Shoot! I want to get paid to travel the world. I haven’t figured out how to do that yet…but that is what I want.
I have: a strong tendency to over analyze things.
I dislike: mushrooms, coconut and rude people.
I miss: butterflies. Not the insect, the feeling.
I fear: growing old.
I feel: tired! I haven’t slept well since I got home from Cali. Stupid Foxy keeping me up late!
I hear: my upstairs neighbors stomping around.
I smell: a potpie cooking.
I crave: that potpie!
I cry: at sad movies, TV shows, music, Hallmark commercials, weddings/funerals (basically the same thing), when I am happy, when I am sad…you get the picture.
I usually: tell my cat goodbye whenever I leave the house.
I search: for new ways to better myself.
I wonder: what the future holds.
I regret: nothing. Everything happens for a reason. What hasn’t killed me has made me who I am today.
I love: life.
I care: about the environment.
I always: umm…breath?
I worry: too much. I am getting better, but I have always been a bit of a worry wart.
I am not: short.
I remember: a lot of my dreams.
I believe: “in a thing called love. Just listen to the rhythm of my heart.”
I sing: either when no one is listening or in the car with my girlfriends at the top of our lungs!
I don’t always: keep my house clean. In fact right now it’s pretty disheveled.
I argue: with myself.
I write: because I enjoy it.
I win: at the game of breaking hearts.
I lose: at the game of breaking hearts.
I wish: my cat would stop meowing at me! I’ll feed you in a minute Aurora!
I listen: to what people say.
I am talented: … you say so.
I can usually be found: sleeping in my own bed.
I am scared: of scary movies. I do not watch them. Ever.
I need: to find a way to pay tuition this month (darn the beautiful new clothes I bought in Cali!)
I forget: names, birthdays and details.
I am happy: When I am with loved ones. My family and friends are everything to me.

Sorry to do this…and I completely understand if you don’t…
I tag Doni, Kel, Helmey, and Sarah

Just me, Random

Where to begin and what to say. California blew my mind. We spent most of our time during the first 2 days at Lagoona Beach. I fell in love with the beauty of the beaches, the ocean, the smell and of course the surfers. Can we say YUMMY?!? Our first meal was in Lagoona Beach at a cute restaurant over looking the ocean. It was so beautiful. We both had 2 Coronas…we remembered halfway through the second one that these are not the 3.2 Utah beers we are used to!

So…we decided to play on the beach for a while and sober up! Unfortunately we did not have our suits on (that would have made too much sense) so we didn’t really get in the water, which was ok because it was warm, but not hot. I’d guess high 70′s.

During the evenings we went out to different fancy shmancy restaurants. We went to one called 21 Oceanfront dressed to kill in sexy black dresses. The “cougars” HATED us! The rich men tried to be sly while they checked us out and the waiters smiled a little too big. To say that we got a lot of attention when we went out is an understatement. Believe me when I tell you I am not saying all of this to brag. Karina and I are 2 6ft tall women. We wear heels and classy sexy clothes. We get noticed when we go out in Utah, but nothing like we did in California. We went out to a few clubs when we were there. The guys were so different. Not necessarily in a good way, they just cared more about how they looked. Apparently the Persians run the club scene in OC. There were literally NO blonds! Maybe 2 blond chicks, but no blond guys. We had fun. We had a lot of fun. I mean we had way more fun than should be allowed!

We got to Newport on a Thursday. When we woke up on Saturday morning, we looked at each other and said the same thing – I miss home! So what did we do on Saturday and Sunday to pass the time? We shopped! I don’t think my wallet will recover for quite some time and I am pretty sure I won’t be eating for the next month either because I came home literally broke! Strike that. I came home in the hole! But you know what? Its was worth it. I have so many memories from this trip. We agreed going into it to say “yes” to every new experience and those experiences (some good, some bad) are something I will always have.

I’ll leave you with this last photo. You can not tell, but we are standing in front of a $95 MILLION Yacht that was for sale. We decided it didn’t match our Bentley so we would keep on looking.

K to the R stories, Vacations

While in California, Karina and I spent our first night there hanging out with her x-boyfriend. He is a local of So-Cal and continued to tease us over and over about being from Utah. “I don’t know how you mountain people do things in Utah, but in Cali this is how we roll.” Blah Blah BS! It ended up being great on going joke throughout our trip. But you know what? I’ll take my down to earth mountain people any day of the week! I was so overwhelmed by the OC mentality. Everything is about image, I mean there is nothing but black, silver and white luxury cars on the road and people can be so incredibly fake! By the last day there I was counting the hours, minutes, seconds until I could be home with my big truck driving mountain people! Don’t get me wrong, I had a great time and made some incredible memories, but home…ah home sweet home…I missed you!

I’m home friends. Pictures, stories, and thoughts will be posted later.

Vacations

Sometimes I need to remind myself that it’s best to just not stress because things will work themselves out. Today is the perfect example. I was able to get everything done for work that was pressing. I went to class and my professor didn’t give us very much homework. I am ahead in my Tuesday night class too. Which means I don’t need to stress about studying while on vacation. I just finished packing (and I think I packed enough to stay there for a month! (Kel, if I fall in love with Cali, can I just move in with you?) I’m downloading some music for the trip. I found a ride to and from the airport and someone to feed my kitty! See? Everything just fell into place right in time. It’s a beautiful thing!

See you soon! Well I guess I won’t “really” be seeing a lot of you soon…but you know what I mean.

Vacations

I leave Thursday morning for beautiful sunny California (Newport Beach)! Ask me if I have packed yet…go on…ask. “Summer are you all packed and ready for sunny California?” Of course my answer is NO! I was in class until 8:20 tonight and I have been finishing up my homework for tomorrows class ever since I got home. Tomorrow I have class until 8:30 again so I really won’t be packing until about, oh I don’t know…10 hours before we leave! Oh and I don’t have a ride arranged to the airport yet. Crap! I better get on that instead of blogging. Whose crazy idea was it to stop homework and blog! Oh yeah…mine!
