Ze End

So...I think it's fair to say that there comes a time when one is just...just done. It's even fairer to say I'm miles past that point already.

I find myself stuck in a catch-22. There are parts of me that are so excited to pack up and move on to the next chapter of my life. I'm ready for a new room, my bitchy cats, own bathroom (don't hate..I'm a girl), and being one step closer to having my fantabulous career. Then I realize I have to say goodbye to people and places here. I think that's rather shitty.

So, while there are some parts of this moment in time that I can't wait to move on from, the ones that keep me pining for (gulp...never thought I'd say this) Utah are a bit overwhelming. I'd prefer not to have the reasons I want to leave be increased however...just an fyi.

I think it's time to sharpen some more colored pencils and get some sleep.

Indeeds

White On White

It snowed last night and this morning.

The ground and trees and cars and bushes and EVERYTHING was covered in a cold white blanket.

It was beautiful.

Today the sun shown and the wind blew.

But the blanket stayed nestled down to comfort.

Today balloons soared towards Heaven...

And took part of the cold blanket with it.

Today I said, "thank you"

With all of my heart

And I let a bit of my heart fly due north as well.

Today I witnessed a miracle and will forever be changed.

Today...today is the day.

Decision

I have decided that I will miss you quite terribly when we've parted ways. That makes me very sad...deep down inside.

Blank Stare

We're talking about foods...sustainable...recipes...etc and I'm realizing that food isn't doing much for me. I'm in a rut in the sense that I am just so over 'stuff' currently. I'm exhausted from school and work and life in general. That translates into having an even harder time coming up with foods.

I'm frustrated....very few things sound good right now and I almost get into a mini panic when it comes to thinking about Me making something. That's a big problem as I'm about to become extra poor.

I'd be much more relaxed to just eat cereal and fruit for meals....no prep involved.

What's my deal??

Ugh

The Look of Astonishment...

There are a lot of astonishing things in the world. One of the age old astonishing things: managing to scream and rant about something without any real reasoning.

Exhibit A: The passing of the Health Care Reform Bill.

I get that you may be mad, angry, pissed, sad, suicidal, sadistic, etc., about it. However, simply saying: FUCK YOU OBAMA! (without a comma) does not actually address the issue...it only further enhances your look of stupidity and arrogance. Give me a reason and I'd take you much more seriously. It seems that everyone is hating on the President currently (but really what's new?) and that's all fine and dandy but they're all short some reasoning. Jumping on the bandwagon without your own reason is pretty much super lame.

I think everyone has a voice and an opinion on the issue and I value hearing both positive and negative viewpoints. That being said, I do not value..in the least..hearing your random, obscenity-ridden bitching. Get over yourself and learn a little bit about the world you reside in.

The shirt reads: Obama-care: Health care hybrid comprised if IRS compassion and Post Office efficiency. Clever but completely pointless and without merit. Then again...when it gets to the point of putting random shit on t-shirts...you know an all-time low has been reached.

Fun-Filled Day

So I helped host a delightful birthday party for Melisa Okur...who is she? She's the daughter of one of the stars of the Utah Jazz basketball team. That meant that I was basically famous today. :D

Corinne and I had a grand ol' time being amazing and have decided that we want to be from Turkey too because apparently everyone is stunningly beautiful there.

Here's a pic of Mehmet and the fam...ok..so just of Mehmet and his beautiful wife:

(The two of them were BEYOND NICE...absolutely ridiculous)

((I also find it kinda strange that you can type in Mehmet Okur and find these sorts of pics....oh the lives of famous peeps. I was really just hoping for a nice cute one of them and the fam...but this shows off her modeling stuff I suppose - hah))

And then, for Corinne: here's me in a panda suit:

And the Salvatore brothers - you have got to watch this show!

Dinner Date

It's like...who can keep their eyes open allll the time? Exactly. R took me up to Ruth's to celebrate getting into my grad school. It would have been last weekend but I was sick...and then he got sick. We have poor timing but make some cute pictures even if we do have droopy eyes and forget to take the photos half the time. Minor details :D

(Plus...here are some we remembered to take!)

Ruth's Diner

Kneaders trip!

Being goofy and bad at taking pics
