hams.

me: yo. i got the easter ham.

best friend: smack that ham.

i smacked it. and i cooked it. and i made easter egg chocolate peanut butter nests for each of our special guests.

 

domestication. 

money money money.

i love easter for two reasons.

unlimited crack -

annual wirthlin family easter egg hunt -

this picture from last year's hunt kills me. when a big money egg is involved, there are no limits to how fast you will get up when dad says, "go."

justified.

after i said the "sh" word in the middle of bikram class, i knew i had reached a new low. i just can't stop swearing. and as with many vices, it's gradually getting worse. not just the frequency. the strength. i'm ashamed to admit, i've reached rated r status. each time it happens i say sorry right after, but i still said it. and i still offended my entire yoga class. and co-workers. and maybe my mom. because talking on the phone while driving sometimes puts you in swear worthy situations.

i've been feeling really bad about this, UNTIL a friend of mine sent me this...

forwarded to my bishop.

in 2 months.

i get to hug this guy. after 2 long years.

i can't wait!

cookies and butterflies.

how could you possibly not like a website that allows you to purchase homemade scrumptious yumminesses?

and cute drawings that give you butterflies.

you can't.

ps - this artist is not only talented, but so clever. she takes real stories from missed connections and creates these incredible drawings. i want them all. (and a baker's dozen of the smores cookies).

6 inches.

i have some pet peeves.

- bad drivers.

- booger eaters.

- people trying to take bites of my red mango.

- getting lost and my gps saying, "recalculating" ever 5 seconds. 

-snoring.

- overuse of the word, "like."

- releasing poop particles into the air in the same vicinity has me.

- the words, "wake up."

- the complication of uncomplicated things.

unfortunately the last peeve on my list made an appearance yesterday.

i bought a tv. a really great samsung lcd 40 inch tv. it was totally impulsive, but it was a great price. and i just moved into a really cute new condo that it would look perfect in. and i really need a big screen for dance kinect so i can perfect my skills and finally make it onto 'so you think you can dance.'

upon unpacking, we slowly realized this was not a new tv. not sure if it was the lack of instructions. or remote. or the ziploc bag of screws. or it could have been the large crack along the top. i was SO annoyed. my uncomplicated purchase would now require 20 additional steps, no longer qualifying it as uncomplicated.

back at the store, even more annoyed that #7 on my pp list occurred during an episode of #9, the assistant general manager came over and said, "give her any 46 inch tv she wants for the same price." he personally helped me pick out this beauty.

i might take this pet peeve off the list, if it always ends with jay telling me that although 6 inches may not seem like that big of a difference, it really is. boom.

shellac.

my nails always have color on them. i went 2 days last month with nothing and i felt naked and exposed.

every girl knows that it is a constant struggle to find a color or brand that will not chip after just a few short days. well the quest is over ladies. say hello to shellac nails.

jess and i got them done for my bday. and i LOVE them. i was a little worried about the limited colors they offer, but you can mix and layer them to create anything you want. i'm on day 5 and they look perfect.

 

 thank you uv3 technology for creating this new gel-polish hybrid. xo.
