Raindrops on Roses

A while ago, I was wandering through Urban Outfitters,

I came across this little treasure:

It's just a feel good book with lists of things that everyone loves and no one acknowledges.

So in the spirit of Thanksgiving, I've written down my own list of awesome...

Happy little moments that make life that much better.

• Finding money in your pocket
• Running in the rain
• Perfectly toasted toast
• Mail- real mail, not spam
• Reading cute texts that you have locked in your phone
• Winning- games, contests, luck, or skill. Winning is awesome!
• When it stays light at night because of the snow
• Serving someone
• Inside jokes
• Hearing from an old friend
• Prayers
• Cooking something all the way through without burning it
• Songs you loved as a kid/teenager
• Waking up to no alarm
• Laughing until you cry

Taking it Personally

Technology hates me.

1. My laptop crashed a couple weeks ago, so I have been in the process of getting a new one, setting it up, copying all my documents, and that sort of fun stuff.

2. My DVD player responds to everyone but me. I press the play button and the DVD pauses. For everyone else it plays.

But last night I conquered it!

Or so I thought.

Turns out all I did was push my luck of electronics for the week.

Today...

I woke up and my phone wouldn't turn on or charge. I took it to the AT&T store, told them my dilemma, and the guy turned it right on. Embarrassing.

Every Monday and Wednesday morning class, we have an iclicker quiz. (An iclicker is a little remote with options A-D to click the answer to the quiz question that appears on the screen.) I pressed the power button on my iclicker and it wouldn't turn on. I double pressed it, it wouldn't turn on. I pressed it hard. No go. I pressed it soft. No luck. I looked at the guy next to me, asked him to turn my iclicker on, he pressed the power button and handed it back to me.

Thanks man.

At what point is this no longer funny?

(This isn't me but it looks like I may not be the only one???)

The Howl

The Howl is the biggest halloween party in Utah, held at USU. So for the past 4 years, after our last-saturday-of-the-month game against West Minster, I have headed up to Logan.

But do I go to the Howl?

Nope!

I love Halloween!

This year, Matt got us free skating and bowling at the fun center.

Then we followed up with the tradish we started last year... scaring people.

I don't know how it started. But basically what we do is put our hair in our faces, hang over a rail by campus, walk with a limp, and jump out at kids walking home from the party.

Freaking blast and a half!

Dear Maddy, you're the coolest person I know!

Person: They're drunk!

Maddy: Funny thing is, we're not.

Person: Are you ok?

Madi: Eeeeeh! Eeeeeh!

Halloween Ideas

Hillary's Idea

Needed: lots of hair coloring and hair spray. I am confident in her ability to make this happen.

Gavin's Idea

I have a pink prom dress, I'm sure I could find white gloves and blue earrings. All Gavin would need is some overalls, a mustache, and a red or green shirt. Pretty doable, right?

My Idea

No it's not scary. I just want an excuse to be as close to her as I can get. I already have a fake ring that looks just like hers (yes I was that fanatic)! Anyone have a long sleeved wedding dress and baby breath flowers I could use??

Black pants, red shirt, blue sash, brown belt. How hard could it be?

Why is She Not Married?

If you catch the flowers, you're soon to go...

Isn't that how it works?

"Bree's bouquet"

Xanni's bouquet

Emily's bouquet

Charolette's bouquet

Maybe she's not married yet because,

Despite all our plans, plots, and practice,

She has never actually really caught a real boquet at a real wedding.

C'mon Mad, Be Aggressive!

Recently

I wish I had more time to blog but there is this thing called college life I got caught up in. So as of October 3rd...

• Went to Colorado for lacrosse. Played in the snow. Nuff said.
• My lap top crashed. A.K.A. the motherboard died
• I have been sick with a cough and cold
• Went to Maddy Jack's lacrosse game (USU vs U of U)
• Got caught up on Modern Family!
• Cassie is engaged! (Cassie! The girl I spent hundreds of hours with doing gymnastics, eating Ben & Jerry's, talking about life at the silo's she got proposed to at, sitting on the roof of the bathroom at Riverton Park, playing lacrosse with, rafting with; the girl who would do my hair and pop my back and drive me home from school almost every day.) I must admit I was a little choked up when she was showing me her ring and telling me the story. I am so happy for her!

Laying down with your eyes closed

Artificial Energy

I have needed a lot of this stuff all week. In the last 55 hours, I have had less than six hours of bed time. 2 4-page papers, 1 test, lacrosse every day, work every day, a yard sale, and am bridal shower tonight. I love being busy! and I can't wait to... what's the word again?.. oh yah! sleep!
