Tired out

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!

J'aime

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

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.

A little part of my heart just died.

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

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.

-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.

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.

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,

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,

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

I highly recommend...

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.

-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?

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...

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.

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

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.)

Misery

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
life. I seriously can't even breathe through my nose. I'm so over it.

I wish it could just be summer all the time.

X-tina's guide to dating

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

It's no surprise that I like to buy stuff. These are a few of the
things that I've purchased recently and I suggest you go buy them too.

"I want my hair to look like Quinn's on Glee"

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!
