The Luxury Life.

Check that.

2012-01-29T18:44:00.000-07:00

So, it's been a while. Whatever to that. I'm just a busy girl and I don't have loads of extra time to blog about all the luxury things I do everyday (haha).

Whenever I talk to people they always ask me what's new in my life. I'm always like 'oh, nothing, just the usual'. I love my job and that keeps me busy most of the time which is great. But for those of you (Chrissi) who really want to know what I'm up to and what I'm loving, here you go:

-Jason Mraz "I Won't Give Up"

He is just so x-exy. Love him.

-The game 'Temple Run' on my phone. I'm addicted. It's a problem. High score:

-I got this and my skin is already so much better. Eventually I'll get the Clarisonic one, but for right now this is working out great.

-I told Shacklyn we were going to go on a road trip the next time I have some time off. I'm thinking of driving to San Francisco and then making our way down the coast to Whittier AND Ladera.

-We also need to plan a mini trip down to LA to attend a Lakers game. My cousin Peter is now practically the GM of the Lake Show and graciously invited us to attend a game. I was going to try to go when KK will be there, but he's already come and gone. So, now we're going to try for a weekend when one of Jac's NBA boyfriends will be there.

-I'm currently reading 'The Notebook'. Hot mess, I know. But Cornmeal checked it out from the library and I just started reading it. It's good, as long as you always picture Ryan Gosling while you're reading it.

-I'm also reading this. I started it at the first of the year and I'm trying to be consistant. It helps to have a little inspiration everyday.

-I'm can't wait for the iPhone 5 to come out 'cause my phone is really kind of jacked up, but I'm determined to keep it until the 5 is out.

-Cornmeal downloaded a bunch of hipster music onto my computer. I'm mortified that I think some of it is actually good. I'm also listening to the 'Breaking Dawn' soundtrack. How embarassing.

-Is anyone else watching 'Downton Abbey' on PBS? It's so well produced and makes me wish I lived back in the early 1900's.

Ok. That's all I can think of right now. As Scott Disick would say 'Hasta Luego'.

OMG.

2011-04-17T21:43:00.000-06:00

So Jacqueline kept talking about this movie 'Country Strong' and how she was so obsessed with it. Well, it came out on DVD this weekend and I watched it and now I'm obsessed. Like almost to the point that I think we should get out cowboy boots on and take a road trip down to Milford and find a cowboy. (OK, not really, but still). His voice, I die.

Outsourced

2011-03-19T12:39:00.000-06:00

Have you been watching 'Outsourced' on NBC? If not, you need to. Personally, I think it's even funnier than The Office. Plus, Todd is adorable.

H2O

2011-03-19T11:51:00.000-06:00

I haven't been drinking soda. I just like water better. And water + Crystal Light is even better. (Not to say that I wouldn't drink a cocktail if someone handed me one.) My Life Coach got me this luxury water tumbler for my birthday. It fits in perfectly on my desk. Nice.

Loving...

2011-03-13T21:48:00.000-06:00

I found this at Forever 21. I die.

I went down to CA last weekend for a Life Coaching session. My Life Coach has quite the music collection, including Maroon 5's new cd 'Hands All Over'. I'm kind of obsessed with this song (and Adam Levine).

Living a pink life.

2011-02-22T21:57:00.000-07:00

I think that if thinks can be pink, they should be pink. Case in point, cleaning products. I highly recommend that you go out and buy this. I cleans really well and it smells delightful. I got it at Tarjay, duh.

Dear JM,

2011-02-22T21:53:00.000-07:00

I love you a little more than I probably should.

Favorite line: 'So I'll check the weather wherever you are, cause I wanna know if you can see the stars tonight.'

I die. Love him.

Dreaming.

2011-02-07T22:32:00.000-07:00

I think that it would be nice to leave the real world behind and head off on an adventure. Doesn't Paris sound lovely?

Also, you should check out ma copine Madison's blog. It's filled with lots of fancy pictures and fun quotes. Plux, Madison is living in France right now. Luxury.

Wait, what?

2011-02-07T21:59:00.000-07:00

This is what the fine people of the AARP sent me for my birthday:

I'm 'only' 24. Give a girl a break.

Sometimes,

2011-01-24T22:32:00.000-07:00

You just need to listen to a little T-swizzle really loud in the car. It can make your whole bad day go away, I promise.

Merry Christmas.

2010-12-25T06:00:00.000-07:00

It's cold outside.

2010-12-06T23:13:00.000-07:00

Today I got a Facebook message from my Life Coach. It said 'Blog'. My blog is just kind of boring and I'm ok with that. So, in true Danilee fashion, I will do a bullet post.

-I like this song by Nelly. (Mostly just the chorus)

-I'm no longer a Jazz fan. Watching games just isn't the same without KK there. Whatever to them.

-I'm going to Texas on Friday. Luxury. I'll wear my cowboy boots to try to fit in.

-I have to get a root canal. UGH. Seriously. I have a dead tooth and it keeps getting darker and it just bothers me, so the solution is to either be a hillbilly with a black tooth or get a root canal. I'm so over it already.

-Did you know that my boyfriend, Jesse McCartney, has a Christmas album. Sometimes I listen to it on Pandora. Issues.

-Gossip Girl is on hiatus until January 24. What am I supposed to do on Monday nights? Seriously. I need my Upper East side fix of Chase Crawford. xoxo.

-Last Saturday I went to Ikea with my sisters. Now I really want a little Ikea house. Sometimes I secretly wish that I could be like Natalie Portman in that one movie and sleep in a store overnight. I think it would be an adventure.

-I kind of want a miniature puppy. I think it would be really cute and I think a puppy would be really happy living with all my luxuriousness. Jacqueline told me this was a bad idea.

-I miss my suga muffin and can't wait till after Christmas when he comes to visit. (Oh, and those other people too.) Haha.

I hope this was sufficient blogging. xoxo

Did you know,

2010-10-30T13:36:00.000-06:00

That Vanilla Ice has his own home-makeover show on the DIY network?
Yes, this Vanilla Ice.

And it's actually pretty good. I stayed up way late last night watching episode after episode. It's the only home makeover show with street cred, duh!

In other t.v. news, is anyone else watching the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills? Such the HTM. Seriously. But, it's addicting.

I've had the 'black lung' all week and have been hacking my brains. Unluxury.

Also, I'm kind of ready for Halloween to be over and for Thanksgiving & Christmas to be here. I just really like listening to Christmas music.

Um,

2010-10-17T12:54:00.000-06:00

My name is Danilee and apparently I have an obsession with pink lip gloss. These are only my 'leftovers', not counting what's in my bathroom and my purse. Yeah.

Seriously

2010-10-09T12:28:00.001-06:00

My eyelid has been twitching ALL week it's driving me nuts and makes it extremely difficult to put eyeliner on. Whatever to that. So, I decided to Google my situation and this is what I found:

The primary causes of eye twitching are listed below. It's important to remember that this is a symptom of something else and not the illness itself. Once you identify and treat the underlying cause of your eye twitch you'll be able to free yourself from it.

Suprised? Me neither. Apparently life makes your eye twitch. Maybe I should go to the doctor and get a prescription for a vacation!

Happy Birthday, Padre.

2010-09-26T18:00:00.004-06:00

For my dad's birthday I had this really great idea to take pictures of us holding signs (which is strictly prohibited for weddings, FYI). I think it turned out pretty good, except for I the fact that I refused to wear red lipstick and ended up looking washed out. Whatever to that.

Fancy veggies

2010-09-20T19:56:00.001-06:00

Yesterday my luxury neighbor Angela brought us over a fancy purple pepper. We made stir fry with it tonight and it tasted just like a normal pepper. Imagine that.

She also brought over her 'first' tomato of the season. I had it on my salad for lunch today. It kind of makes me wish I had a garden full of fresh vegetables. Then again that would require getting my hands dirty, so nevermind.

Anyway, thanks Angela!

Oh Hey, Fall. It's been a while.

2010-09-05T21:55:00.002-06:00

It's beginning to feel a lot like Fall. (Which means Christmas is just around the corner. WHAT?!?). Anyway, I think Fall gets jipped a lot of the time, especially here in Utah where it goes from summer to winter in like a day. I love Fall and am really trying to appreciate this beautiful season.

The other night I made an apple crisp. It was very luxury. I bet you wish you were here to eat it. Sorry. The house smelled so good all night. I wish it was appropriate to have Fall smells all year round.

I have also been loving Stevie Wonder lately. Random. But, really I just like his music.

Also, I've decided that I like piano music. It's really quite beautiful to listen to. I think when I am older I am going to hire a professional to play piano music in my house. Fancy. (Or, I could just get one of the magic pianos.) I was watching 'Pride & Predjudice' today with 'The Gabes' and I just really liked the music (& that Mr. Darcy).

Have a happy day of non-laboring tomorrow. It's supposed to be in the 40's in the a.m. here.

Because who doesn't love NPH?

2010-08-30T21:02:00.000-06:00

Happy Birthday, Moim.

2010-08-29T20:36:00.003-06:00

My mom had a birthday last week. She requested a chocolate cake with pink frosting. I very politely offered to go buy a cake, because I didn't feel like making a cake. So, we ended up making a cake, but frosted it and this is what happened:

Cake Fail

Other than the cake catastrophe, it was a luxury day. We went to Chilis, saw Nanny McPhee 2 (which was quite adorable) and visited with lots of friends.

Happy Birthday, Barbie! We love you.

The City of Angels

2010-08-29T20:21:00.003-06:00

I flew down to Cali with our friends, the Pateys, to pick up Shacklyn and bring her back to Utah. We packed A LOT into 2 days. We went to the Dodgers game on the first night and had a wonderful time.

The next morning we went to Disneyland! We did everything, rode every ride (and didn't wait in any lines, luxury), and saw both big shows at the end of the night. Totally VIP, if you will. The younger boys were asking to 'please' go home at the end of the night because they were so worn out. It was a lot of fun to run around on a mission to get everything done.

The next day, Shlack and I hung out around Whittier and then went down to Downtown Disney for a movie. Unfortunately my Life Coach made a bad decision and wasn't in town. Whatever to her.
We saw these old people dancing while wearing matching outfits. Your team.

The next day we drove home.

The end.

Time for a thought:

2010-08-22T17:47:00.001-06:00

Tired out

2010-08-11T21:59:00.001-06:00

I don't have much to blog about. Just busy with work as usual.

I'm really looking forward to next week. I'm off to Cali to pick up
Shacklyn and drive her home.

I'm flying down on a private jet. Very luxury. (He was black.
Celebrity.). Hahahah.

Anywhoo, I'm so glad to have a few days off. I'm just getting too
tired out.

Too bad my Life Coach will not be in the greater Whittier area during
my vacation. Whatever to you!

For those of y'all who don't speak French 'j'aime' means 'I love'. There are a few thing I've been loving lately.

-John Mayer

-the song 'Misery' by Maroon 5

-the movie 'The Young Victoria'. LOVED, LOVED, LOVED it. Rupert Friend? Yes, please.

-summer thunderstorms. There is one happening right now and it's beautiful to listen to

- e.l.f cosmetics @ Target. Everything is way cheap and the quality is suprisingly good. I read about it on a beauty blog, so I bought some lip gloss and blush the other day and so far I'm impressed.

- dresses from Downeast. I like to dress 'fancy' and they have lots of fun things to wear.

- one thing I do not love is living out of a suitcase. I've pretty much been gone for the past 2 weeks. I'm looking forward to sleeping in my own bed. At least for a while until I'm off on another adventure.

- I've been loving hanging out with my cousins that have been up here from Texas. Kitty Kate has been really happy to me this trip. We're making great progress.

- I was down in Vegas last week for week and I went to see the Lion King one night. It was excellent. I would highly recommend it.

Anything you are loving that I need to know about?

As of late

2010-07-30T22:07:00.002-06:00

I feel like Summer is happening without me this year. I guess that is
what happens when you're a grown up. I'm not sure how I feel about it.

Gone are the days of mornings spent at swim team and evenings spent in
the back yard putting on Spice Girl concerts for the 'England Boys'.
I miss those lazy summer days. A lot.

Now that I'm old I spend my summers working, business tripping,
thinking and plotting out the future. Not quite as much fun as being
at the pool all day.

I wish I could go back and be a carefree, daydreaming kid for a day. So tomorrow I'll sit at the pool and watch all te clouds go by. And maybe I'll listen to the Spice Girls.

I'll be dreaming with a little bit of a broken heart tonight.

My boyfriend won't be in Utah next year. KK is gone!

I'll be consoling myself with some diet coke and John Mayer.

Anyone up for a trip to Chicago in October to see KK play with Bulls?

Happy Independence Day

2010-07-04T16:52:00.000-06:00

While most of the world is out intheir patriotic get-ups, BBQ-ing and
setting off fire works, we are doing make-up for a 'California Gurls'
inspired photo shoot. (Check back later for pics.)

Hope you have a safe and happy 4th.

Mushaboom.

2010-06-20T20:54:00.002-06:00

-I sincerely apologize for my lack of blogging. I'm just a little bit busy with work. (Story of my life). But, I am happy to be this busy, because we have had an 'amazing' month!!! We literally ran out of braces to put on people. My goal is to put braces on everyone that walks in the door.

-I watched the U.S. Open this weekend with my Pops. I love watching golf, but can not hit a ball to save my life. Also, I love the sound of 'golf claps'. Weird, I know. (I also love the sound that a car makes when driving on the freeway).

-I am off to California this week for a much needed vacation. Thank goodness. A couple of days in the sun is good for you. (Sidenote: I love Katy Perry's new song 'California Gurls'. It is slightly inappropriate. And I have been told before that I don't have the best taste in music, but it's the 'perfect' summer song.)

-Also, have you seen '500 days of Summer'? If not, you should. It's a very cute movie and the soundtrack is tres bien.

Danilee out.

Life.

2010-06-12T22:28:00.002-06:00

You know what's funny? Just when you think you've got things figured out and then you realize you don't. I feel like I'm stuck in a never ending revolving door of uncertainty. (And, it kind of sucks.)

So, because I know that I have little control on everything going on around me, I will pretend I'm a kid again and watch Toy Story (1 & 2, it's a marathon on the Disney channel) with my mom and wish all my problems would go away.

A girl can only dream.

I'm a Gleek.

2010-06-11T12:21:00.002-06:00

Do you watch Glee? If not you totally should. It's such a great show, plus Mr. Schu is x-exy. Also, Sue Sylvester is hilariuos.

The finale was this week and they sang this song:

Loves it.

A year ago today,

2010-06-09T21:46:00.002-06:00

This young gentleman was born and I was heading down to Texas to see him. Wow, how time flies!

Happy Birthday 'Baby Will'

Right now,

2010-06-07T21:42:00.000-06:00

I'm watching this movie with Cameo & The Gabes. If Kyle were here it
would be perfect.

I highly recommend...

2010-06-06T17:59:00.000-06:00

That you watch the show 'Diners, Drive-ins & Dives'. They go around
to local restaurants all over the country and show what they make.
Plus, Mr. Fieri is pretty bad a**. They just did an episode with a
restaurant down in Long Beach that we'll definitely need to visit.

I think I was born with the wrong hair color.

2010-05-22T21:57:00.002-06:00

-So, in honor of some Pacman anniversary, Google.com's homepage has Pacman on it. I've been playing it for the past 2 days and I just barely realized it spells 'Google' within the Pacman game. Duh.

-This is a good story. About 2 years ago I was driving up to work in the Caddy. The little message thing on the dashboard pops up that my oil life is 'low'. I ignored it and kept driving. A few minutes later it popped up that the oil life was at 0%. I immediately called my mom and dad but they didn't answer. So I called my friend Kristi at work and told her I was going to be late because I 'had' to stop and get an oil change. I was literally freaking out on the freeway because I thought that it was like gas and that when it was low you had to stop immediately and get more. Seriously.

I remembered this story when the oil light came on today. Luckily I am smarter now and didn't have a panic attack.

Hope that made you laugh. Have a happy weekend.

Can I hold your foot?

2010-05-18T22:35:00.002-06:00

The first day back from vacation is always the hardest. Luckily I had a lovely time with my Life Coach & Co and got to spend some quality time with Jacko (since she will be gone for the summer).

A lot is going on at work so I was really anxious to get back. I keep thinking that things will calm down and I will get into some sort of pattern, but it never seems to happen. I am thankful for new opportunities and am looking forward to the future (I may grow a few gray hairs in the process).

Also, a special thanks to Mr. Bieber for providing the soundtrack to this mini vaca. We sang 'Baby, Baby, Baby' a million times. And then we found out he got a tattoo and we were kind of over to him. (Kind of like when I found out KK got a tattoo, whatever to that.)

Anyway, I only took a few pics, but I assure you that we had a wonderful time and spend plenty of money. Now I just need to figure out when I can go back.

I think I've caught...

2010-05-10T21:27:00.001-06:00

The Bieber fever. He's like Jesse McCartney x100. I don't even know how old he is, but I do know his songs are too catchy.

Thanks, John.

2010-05-09T21:04:00.002-06:00

This is like my anthem of the moment. "Nothing to do, nowhere to be, a simple little kind of free". I can't tell you how much I love not having to tell anyone what I'm doing or coordinate my schedule with someone else's. Eventually I'll change my mind, but for now I'm happy being perfectly lonely.

(Don't worry Chrissi, Kyle will most likely be done with the season after tomorrow and we can start dating again. Awesome.)

Vacation, All I ever wanted, Vacation, Had to get away

2010-05-03T21:18:00.002-06:00

I am in desperate need of a mental break. So when I realized that Shlack would need someone to accompany her back down to California in a few weeks I quickly volunteered. Plus, we all know I love a good road trip. I can't wait to spend a whole week with my Life Coach in my most favorite state. I just wish next Friday would hurry up and get here already.

(P.S. for those in Texas, please don't feel bad. I am still trying to figure out a time to come see y'all.)

I love Spring but I do not like the wacky weather that comes with it.
One day it will be beautiful and 70 degrees and then the next it will
be snowing. Problems.

In top of it all I currently have the worst allergies I've had in my

I wish it could just be summer all the time.

X-tina's guide to dating

2010-04-25T23:00:00.001-06:00

1. be approachable
2. smile
3. don't carry your huge purse
4. don't cross you arms
5. smile some more...show off your work
6. go to church
7. all 3 hours
8. and activities
9. singles ward not a family ward...dating a 12 year old is awkward
10. don't meet somewhere, he comes to pick you up, he pays. the end.

I will file this away in my brain and read it before every date I go on.

These are a few of my favorite things

2010-04-23T10:51:00.001-06:00

It's no surprise that I like to buy stuff. These are a few of the

2010-04-22T22:40:00.003-06:00

I am a fan of bullet point blog posts. I know some people do not like this type of blogging, but it's easy. And, you don't really have to commit to one topic (we all know commitment is not my strong suit). So without further ado I give you the thoughts in my head:

-The weather needs to make up it's d*amn mind. Seriously. I have to check the weather app on my phone before I get dressed every morning. Problems.

-My life coach gives good advice. I've asked her and her executive assistant to write me a guide on dating. If she follows through with it, I'll post it on here. Two things she tells me: don't bring a big purse and don't fold your arms all of the time. Noted.

-I worked till almost 9 tonight. Struggs. Luckily yesterday was Secretary's day and my boss brought us all in a nice treat.

-I've been listening to the Dean Martin station on Pandora. I love Dean Martin, his voice is just magical. This song may be my favorite song 'ever'. It's also the title of my fav movie; I listen to the soundtrack all of the time.

-I'm starting to get allergies. Very unluxury.

-I call Shacklyn and tell her to come visit me and she never comes. Whatever to her.

-I think I shall have a tea party with Shlack tomorrow afternoon. Fancy.

-I'm pretty much over to Facebook.

-I have an obsession with ironing. I think that it is professional to iron things. Sometimes I even iron my pajamas. Yeah.

-Have you heard the story about Camille hitting a bus full of handicapped children? Good times.

-I get to sleep in tomorrow morning! Yahoo!

Happy Birthday

2010-04-18T17:46:00.001-06:00

Yesterday this gentleman turned 5. He is hands down the cutest sugar

as Gavin Basker.

Shacklyn is coming home today for a little visit before ahe heads back
down to California for the summer. Since she wasn't here on here
actual birthday, we are going to have a small party tonight. I made
her this pink Barbie cake. I know you're all jealous.

Motto

2010-04-15T20:48:00.000-06:00

I just got this email forward from a friend. It reminds me of a saying
that our dad told us when we were little: "We don't cuss, smoke, drink
or chew and we don't date the boys that do". Words to live by.

Adventures in Piracy

2010-04-13T19:30:00.001-06:00

I just took the boys to dinner at Pieate Island. Cameo and The Gabes tagged along. It is harder to entertain boys than it is girls. I just don't get why they can't be happy shopping for the day (haha).

Ok, but seriously our server talked like a pirate the 'whole' time. Weird. And he kept calling me 'love'. I was like why you so obsessed with me?

I don't think I will be frequenting Pirate Island, but next time my suga-muffin (aka Mr. Basker) comes to town we will definitely have to go.

2010-04-10T21:41:00.002-06:00

After a long day, there are certain things that never fail to put a smile on my face.

-Eye cream (cause it's never too early to start thinking about wrinkles)

-Loads of Cotton Candy chapstick

-Yummy smelling candles

-Cozy pajamas

-An ice cold glass of water

-Lavender scented pillow spray

-Peppermint scented hand lotion

-My Genius playlist based on this song

-My Hello Kitty alarm clock/night light

-Finally laying down my tired bones in the sea of pillows that I call my bed.

Nighty night.

Glee

2010-04-10T11:46:00.004-06:00

I'm excited for Glee to come back this week!

Sue Sylvester cracks me up. Her one-liners get me every time:

- "Long list of things you are no good at: your marriage, leading glee club and finding a hairstylist that doesn't make you look like a lesbian."
- "All I want is just one day a year when I'm not visually assaulted by uglies and fatties."
- "While they were in there, I told them to go ahead and yank out those tear ducts. Wasn't using them."
-"You are about to board the Sue Sylvester express....... destination HORROR."
-"You think this was hard? Try auditioning for Baywatch and being told they're going in another direction. That was hard."
- "[Ramps] are what I call lazy-makers. They discourage able-bodied students from getting proper exercise by using the stairs."
- "I, for one, think intimacy has no place in a marriage. Walked in on my parents once and it was like seeing two walruses wrestling."
- "I like minorities so much, I'm thinking of moving to California to become one."
- "It feels good to finally pop that zit known as Will Schuester."
- "I don't trust a man with curly hair. I can't help but picture little birds laying sulfurous eggs in there, and it disgusts me."
- "I'll often yell at homeless people: 'Hey, how is that homelessness working out for you? Try not being homeless for once.'"
- "Not everyone is gonna have the walnuts to take a pro-littering stance. But I will not rest until every inch of our fair state is covered in garbage."
- "I'm going to ask you to smell your armpits. That's the smell of failure, and it's stinking up my office."
- "You think this is hard? Try waterboarding. That's hard!"
- "I'm going to go to the animal shelter, get you a cat, and wait until you've fallen in love with that cat... then I'm going to break into your house in the middle of the night, and punch you in the face."

I have already admitted to my crush on Mr. Schuester, but now it's your turn to fall for him too.

If you haven't seen the show, you have a couple days to catch up on previous episodes before the rest of the season airs.

Thoughts on kids

2010-04-08T21:52:00.002-06:00

I'm babysitting right now. I've been here for almost a week and I've got another week to go. A fortnight is a long time to be in charge. Luckily these boys are pretty easy going and like to go do some fun stuff. So far this week we've accomplished a movie, bowling, going to an indoor swimming pool, watching Transformers 1 & 2 and many hours spent on something that looks like a gameboy but is apparently much more advanced. Tonight we decided to stay in. I asked the boys what they wanted to do and they wrote this list:

#4 was accomplised easily ;). Now we are sitting here watching Alvin & the Chipmunks.

Watching kids is hard work. My hat is off to all you mom's who do it 24/7.

I look forward to having kids of my own in the way distant future, but after a long day of cooking, cleaning & entertaining, I'll gladly keep my independence for just a little bit longer.

Happy Birthday, Shacklyn.

2010-04-06T10:52:00.004-06:00

Today is my sister's 21st Birthday. In honor of that here are 21 things you may or may not know about Jacqueline.

1. We have our own secret language. We can say 'homeboy industries', 'HTM', 'awkward', 'He was black. Celebrity' and know exactly what the other is trying to say without having to actually say anything and being politically correct.

2. She secretly (or not so secretly) wishes that she was a Disney princess.

3. She calls her black bug the 'Black Pearl'. (She may not be the most aware driver in the world).

4. She loves that Lady Gaga and is always ready for a dance party.

5. She doesn't really like to wake up in the mornings.

6. Within minutes of meeting someone, that person is Jac's new 'best friend'. She has A LOT of friends.

7. She has crushes on Chris Carrabba, the red head guy from Harry Potter, Ricky Bobby, and the Male Model (off & on).

8. She sends a lot of text messages.

9. Her room is decorated really fancily. It may or may not always be clean.

10. One time we took an online class together in college. I ended up doing most of the work and in return she did stuff for me.

11. One time I hired her as my personal assistant... That didn't work out so well.

12. Once when we were driving down to California she may have eaten an entire box of chocolate donuts. Homegirl loves a 'donie party'.

13. I potty trained Jacqueline. You're welcome.

14. Jac had the 'cutest' froggy voice when she was younger.

15. I have been on many roadtrips with Jacqueline. I like to refer to her as my 'co-pilot'.

16. I like to tell Jacko that I have better eyebrows and better teeth than her. In reality they're pretty much the exact same.

17. I like to call Jac early in the morning on the way to work and sing her Donny Osmond's version of 'Mary, did you know?'. I know she very much enjoys this.

18. Jac has a very artistic eye. I think she could be a professional 'photo-grapher' when she grows up.

19. Jac works on Splash Mountain at Disneyland. She aspires to also work at Pirates of the Caribbean. (She has been known to sing songs while doing crowd control for parades.)

20. Now that she is 21 she has reached the legal drinking age (naughty business). I enjoy having a 'cocktail' with Jacqueline and lounging around.

21. I am very glad that she is my sister and I love her lots.

Wanna come over for dinner?

2010-04-04T14:11:00.003-06:00

I've been a bad blogger. I know. It's just that I've had a lot going on. My madre still has a cast on her arm. Yes, it's her 3rd one and she'll probably have to have a 4th. Between work and helping out around the house I don't have much time for anything else. Not that I'm complaining, but at least it makes it sound like I haven't completely abandoned this little old blog. (I did however ditch Twitter. I was just over to it.)

Anyway. I've been trying to help out with cooking and such. I added a bunch of foodie blogs to my Google reader and if a recipe comes up that looks yummy and not too hard I'll make it. Here's a few of the things I've tried recently:

http://sisterscafe.blogspot.com/2010/03/easter-morning-rolls.html

*These were yummy but mine looked 'nothing' like the picture. They were a gooey HTM.

http://sisterscafe.blogspot.com/2010/03/favorites-friday-chicken-poppy-seed.html

*I 'love' salad, but this was not as great as I thought it would be.

http://www.melskitchencafe.com/2010/02/thick-and-chewy-chocolate-chip-bars.html

*These are so good and so much easier to make than cookies.

http://picky-palate.com/2010/03/18/green-chili-chicken-and-lime-soup

*I've made this a few times and changed it slightly. It's good no matter what you add.

http://secretrecipeworld.com/2010/01/chilis-cajun-chicken-pasta/

*This was even better than what they serve at the restaurant. You can just call me Julia Child.

I think I am going to try to find a recipe for Carrabba's chicken marsala and garlic mashed potatoes.

What food blogs do you read?

Deja vu

2010-03-23T23:11:00.003-06:00

Remember when this happened: http://luxurydanielle.blogspot.com/2008/12/wtf.html ????

Well, it happened AGAIN. I seriously could SCREAM right now. Ugh, I am so upset.

It's even worse than last time b/c apparently the other lady with the # has had it for about a month. So, I have absolutely NO clue where my calls are being sent, where my texts are coming/going etc. Absolutely a HTM!!!!

So, if you've tried to contact me and I've responded like a 40 year old crack addict, it wasn't me, I promise.

It may be time for a new phone #. FML.

Special Day

2010-03-22T23:41:00.001-06:00

Today is a very special day for a very special lady I know. It's my
Life Coach's 29th Bday! (+11). Wahoo!

We all love you very much X-Tina, and hope that you have a very luxury
day.

The luck of the Irish.

2010-03-17T22:12:00.001-06:00

OMG. I almost forgot about this gem:

I seriously LOL'd like 10 times while watching and then proceeded to watch it another 5 times. I particularly love the amateur sketch. Seriously such a HTM.

HTM.

2010-03-15T23:43:00.000-06:00

Seriously, I'm so confused but obsessed at the same time. Thanks Shlack. Now I can't stop watching his videos. How does he do this?

Things that make me nervous.

2010-03-14T11:31:00.002-06:00

The other night Cameo & I were talking about things that make me nervous or tense. It's quite a long list, but here it is in no particular order. Please feel free to add your opinions in the comments.

-Being late (especially when travelling)

-Boys

-Not having my purse or phone with me

-Reindeer (particularly the wicker kind)

-Not wearing my retainers to bed everynight

-Talking to people I don't know

-Ordering food at restaurants (Inside joke)

-Going over on my cell phone minutes

-People touching me in any way

-Other people using any of my stuff

-Being in the car when I'm not driving

-Homeless people (sorry, I know that's not PC)

-Running out of essential beauty products (i.e. shaving cream, Q-tips)

-When my computer, phone or other electronic isn't working and Google doesn't have the answer

-Not putting a card right back in my wallet and then thinking it's lost

-Having a clean pile of clothes not put away

-Having lots of un-answered emails in my inbox

Ok. I'm bored, though I'm sure there are many, many more...

End of an era.

2010-03-07T20:45:00.002-07:00

I don't have the eloquent words to express the mix of emotions I'm feeling. Everything from shock to peace.

But, I can say without a doubt that my friend Michael was truly one of the sweetest people I've known in my life. He was always wise beyond his years. Mike, I'll miss that shy smile of yours, your courage and your always loving heart.

Lately,

2010-02-28T13:39:00.002-07:00

I've been listening to this:

While Mr. Mayer may not always be P.C., he totally knows how to put together a fantastic album. Plus I think he's x-exy.

'One day hair'.

2010-02-27T12:30:00.002-07:00

My life coach and I both have what we affectionately call 'one day hair'. Meaning that no matter what we do, our hairstyle is only good for one day (sometimes even a 1/2 a day). Take yesterday for example. I was exhausted from having worked almost 17 hours the day before so I took a mid afternoon nap (a perk of not working Friday's). I woke up early evening, looked at myself in the mirror, and thought 'what a HTM'. Seriously. My hair was ruined. It had gotten all bent out of place and no amount of flat-ironing could help it. I will spare you the picture, because I don't look very glamorous upon first waking up.

I can't even take a shower the night before and do my hair in the morning because it gets so messy. I'm not even kidding. I just have weird hair. I spend outrageous amounts of money on products in hope of achieving what I think is 'good hair', but most days I'm still not thrilled with how it looks.

It's just not fair that some people (Cornmeal & Haydan O.) have hair that is naturally straight, long and can look great for 2+ days. Whatever to them.

I like watching the Olympics.

2010-02-22T21:27:00.000-07:00

I think Mr. Ohno is good looking. My Life Coach disagrees. What do you think?

Zarizonia 2.0

2010-02-21T20:50:00.003-07:00

I've been in Scottsdale all week for an orthodontic conference. It is luxury to go on 'working vacations'. I feel so grown up when I do.

We stayed at a Marriott vacation club and it was very luxury. We were right on the golf course and right next to the pool. Fancy. Luckily it is like warm in Zarizonia so we could totally wear 'Spring' clothes.
Our fancy room:
We were really staying in a condo sort of room. It had a full kitchen, dining room, family room, 2 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms. I kept saying that I wished I could just move in because it was so luxury. I would love to go back for a real vacation.
On Friday night there was a gala and we got all hussied up.

We also got to go to Trader Joe's while we were there. I 'really' love Arizona and would move there in a heartbeat if the opportunity popped up.

Another trip to California...

2010-02-21T20:39:00.003-07:00

Last Friday I drove Shacklyn back down to California so she can have a job. (She was being a horrible personal assistant.) It was a very quick trip, but luckily Jenn Jenn and Will.I.Am were there visiting too so it was well worth the busy weekend.Shacklyn and I. I'm glad I'm the 'pretty one'. Hah.
Two hot messes.
3 of my BFF's and I.
Will has grown up so much since I saw him as a newborn. I love that boy.
Luckily there is now a Cafe Rio in Irvine. We were so there. We also went to the swap and I got new sunglasses. Luxury.
I snuggled this boy on Friday night and watched the opening ceremonies with my Life Coach (I was 'very' disappointed in the production). Bernicula was also present but apparently was not having her photo taken.

Luckily Jenn & Co will come to Utah in a few weeks for a visit, some other members of the family make bad decisions and won't be coming. Maybe I will come back down to CA for a certain birthday on March 23? Call me so we can make plans.

One Hot Mess of a Week.

2010-01-31T20:00:00.003-07:00

By now most of y'all know that my mom and I were in an accident this week. We were on our way to work on Tuesday morning when it happened. (**Since my mom started working at the orthodontist office where I work, I 'always' drive in the morning and she 'always' drives home in the afternoon. My dad had made me some eggs and so she told me should would drive so I could eat them. Turned out to be a blessing in disguise.**) We left the house at about 6 am and the roads were really icy and snowy (the plows/salt trucks hadn't been out yet). We were going really slow, about 40 mph, with the rest of the traffic. We were just about to Thanksgiving Point when we hit ice and started spinning around on the freeway (miraculously we didn't hit anyone while spinning). We spun a few times and then crashed into the median, spun again and ended up facing oncoming traffic. Our airbags deployed and when I first opened my eyes and saw the headlights headed our way I thought that we were on the opposite side of the freeway. (Scary!) My mom started saying that we needed to get out of car because she thought someone was going to crash into us. I just kept saying NO, get into the back seat on my side since so if someone does you won't be on the side of impact, but she couldn't move. I called 911 and told them everything and then we just waited. Those might have been the longest few minutes in my life. After a few minutes an off-dute highway patrol man pulled up with his lights on and blocked off a few lanes off traffic so that people would be diverted. He came and made sure that we were ok, and my mom told him that she thought her arm was broken. My mom was panicked because she couldn't find her glasses (they were eventually found in the trunk!!). After what seemed like even longer, the paramedics and fire truck arrived and got us out of car and checked out my mom. They told her that her arm was broken but other than that both of us checked out fine. They said that we could either go to the ER or our family Dr. My dad was already on his way so we decided to go to our family Dr (he took care of my arm when I broke it when I was 12, so we knew he had everything in his office to take care of it). My dad came and picked us up and we made our way to the dr's. They took and x-ray and sure enough it was broken. She now has a pink cast that goes up almost to her shoulder. (Is it bad that I'm slightly jealous?) She's been a trooper and was back to work the next day.

We are so, so lucky that we were able to walk away from this with such minor injuries. It really could have been so much worse and we are both grateful that no one else was injured (there were cars all around us when we were spinning). There is no other way to explain how everything turned out other than to say we definitely had some guardian angels watching over us that day.

My mom was pretty emotional and I just kept telling her that everything would be fine and everything happens for a reason. We all know that I am not a crier, and I managed to stay stoic the whole morning until later on when I was on my way to work and I was talking to my Life Coach and realized how serious this could have been. Thanks, X-tina!!! (JK, I love you.)

Thank you to everyone for all of your calls, messages, gifts and love that you have sent our way this week. We are lucky to have such great people in our lives and know that our Heavenly Father was definitely looking over us that day.

Nevermind.

2010-01-25T21:55:00.003-07:00

A while ago I posted that I thought 'Bachelor' Jake was cute and I'd go for him. I take it back. No thank you! I get the whole 'getting emotional' business, but you've known these girls for what a week? Don't think I'm cold hearted or anything, but when the guy I love wants to come cry on my shoulder, I don't want him crying into a tranny's shoulder 5 minutes later.

The end.

Awesome.

2010-01-24T18:34:00.002-07:00

So, we got this new Cone Beam CT scanner at my office and it is seriously the coolest thing ever. We had a lady come and train us on Friday, and I got the be the 'volunteer' to have a scan done. This is what I look like underneath it all:Pretty cool, huh?
Here is my panoramic x-ray of my jaw. You can clearly see that I have a deviated septum in my nose!! (Call Dr. 90210). You can also see that I have a cloudy sinus on the right side. (Duh, I've been sick).

I'm thinking of making the first pic my profile pic on Facebook. Thoughts?

Once upon a time,

2010-01-24T18:19:00.004-07:00

I had a Birthday. I have just been really busy and haven't had time to blog about the glorious celebration of my birth. The festivities began a few days before my actual birthday when we celebrated at work. My friend Emily asked me what I wanted for my b-day treat and I asked for an 'Edible Arrangement'. (She specialized it with 'Hello Kitty'). I have wanted an Edible Arrangement for a while and it was rather luxury. *Please note the Hello Kitty pineapple.I went to work on my birthday and my friends gave me some very luxury gifts. That night I went out to dinner with the family to Outback.

Then we came home and I opened my presents. I got many luxury things, including a pink pots & pans set for when I 'grow up'.
My mom also got me another pink Christmas tree with fun ornaments.
I had a wonderful day thanks to all of my luxury friends and family and your lovely birthday wishes and gifts. Thank you!

LOVED it.

2010-01-15T21:59:00.002-07:00

We went and saw this last weekend. I was so, so, so adorable. I simply adore Matthew Goode (fell in love with him in 'Chasing Liberty'). He fits all my requirements for a crush: tall, dark & handsome. Plus, Amy Adams' wardrobe was impeccable. I really want to go to Ireland now and fall in love with a local with a x-exy accent. So, get your lover and go see this asap.

*X-tina, please ask your assistant to pick me up a copy of this when it arrives at your local 'video store'. Thank you.

A must read.

2010-01-15T17:36:00.001-07:00

I just read this book. It only took about an hour (I skipped the whole
section on how to drink fabulously). It was filled with very useful
information. Clinton and I think very much alike on moat issues. I was
reading the book and thinking 'who doesn't know this already?'.
Apparently some people just aren't as fabulous or luxury as others.
So, do yourself a favor and pick up this book. (I rented mine from the
library, my new fav obsession).

Dear L.C. ,

2010-01-14T22:03:00.002-07:00

Here is what I was talking about earlier. Cute huh? You too can make
one. Instructions:
1- go to Target
2- buy frame
3- go home
4- get on computer
5- find print online
6- press 'print'
7- cut out
8- put in frame
9- be fancy like me

"On the wings of love"

2010-01-05T21:43:00.001-07:00

HOTT! I'd fly with him any day.

The girls on the other hand were all HTM's. Who else is watching this season?

I'm obsessed,

2010-01-01T16:33:00.000-07:00

with this game: http://helicoptergame.net/

Seriously, it's addicting. Gabby and Kim showed it to me. My high score is only 799, so try to beat me if you can.

Merry Christmas!

2009-12-25T11:48:00.001-07:00

From us 'Hot Messes' to you. Hope you all have a very luxury day and remember the true meaning of Christmas.

I need to join D&B Anonymous.

2009-12-18T20:18:00.002-07:00

I have an addiction and I just can't help it. The other night my mother and I went down to Dillards to do some Christmas shopping. The Dooney's were on sale, but when I figured out that they were 60+% off, it wasn't a question of 'should I' it was 'which one'. I found this really cute black one with fancy, multi-colored ducks. I also got the matching wallet, just because I wanted to. I also talked my mom into buying me the matching umbrella. She did and I am getting it for Christmas along with the other D&B bag that she bought me.

I seriously almost had an anxiety attack because I just wanted to buy all of them. Problems.

On another note, the backlight on my alarm clocked stopped working last week. Technically it still worked as an alarm, but when I saw this at the Target i just had to buy it. I think it was a very good decision even though my sisters relentlessly teased me about it.

In conclusion, I just like to buy myself Christmas presents because it's fun. Do you buy yourself presents too?

You've had a Birthday, shout Hooray!

2009-12-17T19:28:00.002-07:00

Gabby turned 14 today. I distinctly remember the day she was born and it seems like just yesterday.

Here she is with our adopted sister, Kim. We went to Winger's and had a fun night with about 15 of her closest friends. (Let me just say that I'm glad I'm not a teenager anymore.)

Happy Birthday, Gabs. I love you!

Oh, Archie.

2009-12-13T19:40:00.004-07:00

I am loving this cd. Homeboy sings like an angel. I feel like I am cheating a little bit on my all time favorite Christmas cd.

I just love this kid,

2009-12-06T12:03:00.002-07:00

* Please hold ALL applause to the end, or the performer may refuse to go on.

A very Danilee Christmas:

2009-12-06T11:36:00.002-07:00

I decorated my room for Christmas. I think that it looks very luxury.

My mom got me these two cute ornaments last year. Cupcakes, pink, sparkles. What's not to love?

When I grow up and have a house of my own, I will get this tree. Also, I will decorate the outside of my house in pink and green lights. (I don't really care if the gentleman I live with doesn't approve of the color scheme, he can go decorate his own house if he wants to.)

Dear Shacklyn,

2009-12-05T13:58:00.002-07:00

Love, Danilee

2009-11-30T22:35:00.001-07:00

Dear Michael,
I just love you. I mean come on, that voice, those eyes, you just
drive a girl crazy.
I admit that at first I was a little skeptical about your new song
'Haven't met you yet' but after having listened to it numerous times I
think it's adorable. My favorite line:

'I might have to wait, I'll never give up I guess it's half timing and
the other half's luck. Wherever you are, whenever it's right you'll
come out of nowhere and into my life.'

(Honestly, SO cute)

I'm sorry that I ever said I didn't like your new cd. I really do like
it now. Thanks for being such a musical genius.

Love,
Danilee

Turkey Day plans.

2009-11-22T13:16:00.003-07:00

Pretty much every day for the past 2 weeks I have gotten a phone call from my Life Coach asking me if I was coming for Thanksgiving.

YES!!!!! I'm coming. I'll be arriving in Long Beach at 7:13 on Wednesday evening*. I expect a sign and balloons and lots of excitement. (Who knows when the rest of my family will be arriving, they have commitment issues.)

*WHY am I flying during this CRAZY time of year?

(P.S. Dear Jenn Jenn, PLEASE come to Utah for Christmas. WE MISS YOU!!!!!)

These are a few of my favorite things...Toddler edition.

2009-11-22T13:08:00.004-07:00

I don't have kids, nor do I plan on having them for quite a few years, but sometimes I like to buy things that are marketed toward kids.

I 'love' the smell of this lotion. It's so light and fresh. It just is really luxury.
And, I love this cereal. But, I don't eat it in a bowl with milk. I'll put some in a plastic baggy and munch on it on my way to work in the morning. (Just like a 2 year old. Nice.)

Ok, so now you can go buy these things for your kids (or yourself if you feel so inclined.)

Maya Angelou

2009-11-21T10:18:00.006-07:00

I got this as an email the other day and loved it. I want to frame all of these quotes and hang them on my walls.

In April, Maya Angelou was interviewed by Oprah on her 70+ birthday. Oprah asked her what she thought of growing older. And, there on television, she said it was 'exciting...'

Regarding body changes, she said there were many, occurring every day.....like her breasts. They seem to be in a race to see which will reach her waist, first. The audience laughed so hard they cried. She is such a simple and honest woman, with so much wisdom in her words!

Maya Angelou said this:
'I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.'

'I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.'

'I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.'

'I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as 'making a life.'

'I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.'

'I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back...'

'I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.'

'I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.'

'I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.'

'I've learned that I still have a lot to learn..'

'I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.'

You can have your people call my people.

2009-11-19T21:57:00.004-07:00

I've hired a personal assistant.

I have found that I work so much, I don't have time to do things like: go shopping, plan vacations or make my bed.

I am so busy I barely even have time to sleep.

I came to the genius conclusion that I need someone to do all of these things for me.

Celebrities have assistants, so why shouldn't I?

I made a phone call bright and early this morning, and my 5 pm tonight I had hired someone.

Basically my whole life I have wished that I could boss someone around and have them do whatever I want. Now, my dreams have come true.

Who did I hire you might ask?

This girl:

I've pretty much always told her what to do, but now I'm just going to pay her to do so.

This may be the best idea I've ever had. EVER.

Today:

2009-11-19T21:55:00.002-07:00

This gentleman turns 1 year older.

Peter, what do you call that guy who comes to your house and lays those ceramic things on your floor?

Haha, Happy Birthday cuz.

Christmas List.

2009-11-15T00:12:00.001-07:00

Dear Santa,

I'd be a really happy girl if I found this underneath the tree on Christmas morning.

Xoxo,

Danilee

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

2009-11-14T22:33:00.002-07:00

It snowed today. But, not like white, fluffy, pretty snow. It was like cold, bone-chilling, icy snow. Eww. So, I decided to be helpful and get out the Christmas decorations. It may be a bit early, but whatever. I also decided that I wanted to make sugar cookies. Please keep in mind that the last time I had 3 assistants and used a cookie mix. This time I did everything from scratch (it was hard).

So anyway, making the cookies isn't much fun, but decorating them is rather luxury. We had neon food color so luckily I got to make pink and green cookies. Awesome.

Anything with pink and sprinkles makes me totally happy.
These two HTM's refused to help me with any of the baking process, but they made sure they were around when it came time to eat fancy cookies. They're special.

P.S. I was just reading through a few blog entries from last year and I used to be a lot funnier. What happened?

HTM.

2009-11-11T21:12:00.002-07:00

Sometimes you just feel like nothing is going away. No matter how hard you try, things just don't seem to work out the way you thought they would. Today is one of those days. I'm so over to it.

The end.

Confession

2009-11-08T21:40:00.001-07:00

I may be watching the Kardashian wedding extravaganza right now. And, I may be a tiny bit jealous of the fabulousness. Whatever. When Kyle and I get married it will be 10x as luxury.

My life coach often says that she wishes we could all just be together all of the time. I agree with this. It would make life so much more fun. I miss the kids so much I can hardly stand it. Maybe y'all should come to Utah for Christmas?!?! I think that would be a good decision.

I really want to love this cd, but I'm not really feeling it so much. I'll keep listening though just because I 'love' his voice. (Also, I'm a little freaked out by the look on his face on the cover.)

The pivotal of unluxury.

You should probably listen to this while reading this post:

So, I was on my way to work this morning. Since the weather was nice I've been driving the Porsche this week (because hey, why not?). I hadn't even gone 3 miles on the freeway when I start to hear this thud-thud sound and then the car feels like it is on a bumpy country road. So, then I get over into the slow lane and I'm thinking that I can make it to the next exit, but then I look in my rear view mirror and I all I see is smoke. UGH. So I pull over to the shoulder, don't even bother getting out to inspect and immediately call AAA to send help (SOS!!). Then I call my dad and tell him to come pick me up. I waited there for a while, my dad came and then soon after the tow-truck man came and hoisted the Porsche onto his truck bed. It was all pretty exciting and quite frustrating at the same time.

Notes:

-I didn't even cry once. Good on me.

-If you don't have AAA, you need to call them immediately and sign up. It's only like $50 a year, and they will either come and change your tire or tow you to a repair shop. Luxury.

-Apparently this is what I get for 'showing off' the day before. Whatever.

Dear L.C.:

2009-11-04T21:00:00.002-07:00

I called you today.

I wanted to talk to SpiderGavin and tell you about all of the exciting parts of my day.

You didn't answer.

Whatever to you.

P.S. I watched that make-up channel on YouTube and I definitely agree that homegirl has nice eyebrows.

Problems.

Recently someone pointed out to me that I blog about the same subjects over and over again. In my defense (which the Jazz know nothing about), I've heard that you are supposed to write about what you know. So apparently I know: pink, D&B, vacationing and KK (and a few very other selective things).

That same someone suggested that I blog about 'fighting' with my sisters. Done. I have actually heard from quite a few people that they would love to be a fly on the wall at my house and observe the goings-on of 4 girls. Well, your wish is my command.

-I may have just got into a yelling match with Shacklyn because I 'accidentally' deleted tonight's episode of 'America's Next Top Model'. It really was an accident.

-Camille came down to the kitchen earlier while Shacklyn and I were playing Skip-Bo (awesome game, btw) and showed us that Timpview now has it's own Gossip Girl sight. Then Camille very awkwardly asked if we thought one of the stories about a sophomore was really about her. To which Jac and I replied 'Camille, no one is that obsessed with you.' AWKWARD.

-Shacklyn and I love to call each other 'HTM: Hot Tranny Mess'

-There is a daily battle in our bathroom concerning my eyelash curler. Cameo thinks that mine is the best (duh) and so she steals it EVERYDAY! On mornings when I am out the door by 6, I will wake Camille up and make her go find the eyelash curler. Cruel, yes.

So, I think this should be a new regular feature on my blog. Yea or Nay?

Only in Utah.

2009-11-04T20:24:00.001-07:00

So, I was being nice and helping to hand out candy on Halloween. I had been doing this for about an hour when this older creepy guy (with his grandkids) tells me I have nice boots (like, duh, what other kind would I have) and then says 'I have a treat for you'. (Don't worry, he didn't flash me or anything.) He hands me this yellow piece of paper with some candy attached to it.

I just shut the door and walked into the kitchen (threw the candy away) and read the note. You can read it too:

It says:

"I SERVE those that are looking for innovative ideas to bring YOUR family back to the table, spending more quality time together, increasing your income. I can help with any of these and MORE. Thank you, please give me a call, email or visit my website...I hope someone is PAMPERING you today, because I would LOVE to!"

And then it has her name and contact info.

OK, first of all, who helped her write this? Seriously, like it doesn't even make sense.

I was 'so' upset that someone was soliciting on Halloween. Apparently they missed the GIANT 'NO SOLICITING' sign that I made and put on the front door (another post in itself).

So, being that I am Dani-lee and I don't let things like this go without inserting my 2 cents, I emailed the lady. My email:

Dear Cheryl,
We received a note from you tonight regarding your Pampered Chef business aspirations. It is very embarassing that you would be soliciting yourself on a night that is designed for children to have fun. We would hope that you would take this into consideration and never solicite on a holiday again.

Sincerely,
Concerned Neighbor

I have not heard back from Cheryl. (Unfortunately, because we all know I love a good confrontation.)

*I really wish that I was making this all up, but I'm not.

Don't Front.

2009-11-03T17:53:00.002-07:00

Shacklyn,

Don't pretend that you like Jesse McCartney all of the sudden. We both know that I was totally in love with him first. So BACK OFF.

Sincerely,

Dani-lee (not to be confused with Dannie-Lynn)

Oh, Mr. Schuester

2009-10-30T16:18:00.001-06:00

Have you seen Glee? I was a little skeptical, but it turns out that
the show is incredibly entertaining.

I especially love Mr. Schuester (aka Matthew Morrison). He's adorable
and I love the way that he dresses on the show. Oh, and he's coming
out with an album that he describes as a cross between Justin
Timberlake & Michael Bublé. What could be better?

Hey, Soul Sister

Answers:

2009-10-27T21:17:00.005-06:00

So far only 4 people have asked questions. The rest of you are on my list. (Ok, you can be on my list again if you participate in this.)

My answers are BOLDED.

Shacklyn asked:

#1: what is your favorite thing about me? The fact that I boss you around and you let me

#2: If you had to choose between matching P.J.s and sprinkels which one would you pick? Matching P.J.'s - it is important to look professional at all times.
#3: What is better Gossip Girls or Real Housewives? I only really like the New Jersey Housewives. I love me some Nate Archibald though.
#4: Who was ur first crush? Tough. Like real life or celebrity? Real life: probably Z.E. or P.J. in high school (and no I will not type out the names). Celebrity: Justin Timberlake
#5: If you could be anyone from any Disney movie who would you be? I assume you mean cartoon movie. I'd want to be the Little Mermaid mainly because I wish I could wear a purple bikini top everyday.
#6: If you could work on any Disneyland Attraction what would it be and why? The horse-drawn carriage in the front, so that I could pretend I was wish Ginger all day long. HAHAHA.

My fab cousin Amy asked:

1. What is the one cosmetic that you cannot live without? Urban Decay's Primer Potion (here). I seriously won't put on eyeshadow without it. It's a little pricey for a 'base' but I can make one tube last 6 months. I'm special.
2. What is the favorite thing about your job? Transforming people's smiles. Seriously, it's amazing some of the things we do.
3. What destination do you want to visit, but haven't yet? Paris.
4. Current fav outfit? (Pictures please!) My wardrobe is currently in a bit of a funk. I feel like I wear the same thing everyday (wait, I do). When I'm not wearing scrubs I try to be cute, but lately I've really been struggling. I'll work on this and post a pic soon.
5. Fav holiday and why? Maybe include a fav memory or two. This might seem weird but I'm at a stage in life where I'm not really into holidays (bad, I know). But, I still love Christmas. I love how my mom gets the house decorated all fancy and mainly I love listening to my Donny Osmond Christmas cd. Haha.
6. What is the best thing that you cook or bake? Um, I make a really good German Chocolate cake. Luckily Betty Crocker helps me out!
7. How many handbags do you really own? Personally, I have 10 D&B's (no other brands).

My life coach asked:

1. paper or plastic? Neither. I'd rather go naked than hurt the environment. Haha.
2. soup or salad? Soup- Rumbi's, Salad- Cafe Rio
3. cookies or milk? Is this a trick question?
4. slooshies or diet coke? Both please.
5. me or Jenn Jenn? No comment.

Elayna (aka 'The Bird') asked:

1. What is your favorite, pink, item of clothing? Hum, very hard. I love anything and everything pink. I have been known to wear an entirely pink ensemble.
2. Do you have a favorite DB purse? Probably my pink one in this post. I really love it, but I am so afraid that I am going to get it dirty and ruin it so I hardly ever use it. (Issues, I know!)
3. What finger do you like to wear rings on, and what is the ring size? If I'm up at The BYU I wear it on my ring finger on my left hand. Any other time I wear rings on my right hand ring finger. I have between a 5 1/2 to a 6 ring size. (I have small fingers, why can't my butt be that small?)
4. Favorite thing from Chili's? Chips & Salsa. Yum.
5. What day does the Basketball season start? ;) Today!!! (I'm watching while typing.)
6. How do you like your new room (since you've moved upstairs)? I really like it because it is pink. I very much do not like that I am sharing a bathroom with my teenage sisters.
