Shout out to the Ped Egg

aka, a total and complete miracle....

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Nicole, for confirming what i hoped would be true. I have seen the Ped-egg a few times at Walgreens but thought "10 bucks for something i am not sure will work?." i thought perhaps i would need some perscription medicated lotions or something and i didnt want to waste my money on a cheese grater for my feet. BUT she told me it works, and guess what....IT DOES.
THANK YOU NICOLE...it worked like a dream, i kept saying to megan "i cannot even believe this, its totally working!" I showed her before and afters of both heels and she now is a believer. And so it Jack, who also used it on his 4 yr old heels(already baby soft).

BUY THE PED EGG!

nasty feet

ok so i am having an issue. My heels are cracked and dry, its so so bad and so gross and i dont know how to get rid of it. SOMEONE TELL ME before i turn into this crazy asian lady.
Marci told me that she soaked in feet in bleach, has anyone heard of this? She also told me i probably shouldnt do it, but i am pretty close to trying anything.

Memorial Day Weekend

Day 1 was spent in San Diego and on Coronado Island visiting Randy and then going to JeNae's wedding...
KR, Ash, Rhyll and I walking back to Randys place on the island.aren't we all so cute? Isn't that backdrop just perfect? I love that little island.eating lunch at a thai food Cafe. Seriously i cant keep raving about Coronado, but it really is so darling and perfect and i think we should all move there?
KR, Randy. Me, Rhyll, Mike and AshThe candy table at JeNae's wedding. Its pretty much bare cause it was like the end of the night, but we did score some chocolate dipped marshmallows!
our photo shoot at the wedding, i tried to put them all next to eachother but failed. sorry.Kayaking in the backbay in Newport. SO FUN! Look at these beautiful homes. Now that is a fancy cul-de-sac.Peter came along...love him.
just having a ball. you can tell because my head is thrown back in laughter, im having so much fun.

I'm a dork

So i went to Huntington this weekend, and one of the things i wanted to do was go to Pinkberry. Because i am trendy and embarrassing like that.

Pete made sure that i ordered mine with Mochi Balls/Rice cakes, and anyone who knows me knows that i am terrified by my weak gag reflex and am not one to order something strange. But i did it, and Pete was right. SO GOOD. Mochi Balls, Blueberries and Raspberries. I want it right now. It is not the same as Red Mango, it is much better and you better believe i will be dining my little heart out on Pinkberry in New York next week.

i swear, there are 2 kinds of people in this world. Normal and Extremists. All of a sudden i am figuring out that alot of people are into ALOT of weird things.

exhibit A:

WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE??????

American Idol Brain Dump

-Who the H voted for David Cook? Why do you hate America? (also the 'give back' hand from a while ago, BARF.)-David Archuleta is the cutest little cuddly bear of a kid i have ever seen. Did you see how adorable he was when they told him he was getting a brand new car? I wanted to cry tears of joy for that little 17 year old.

-Megan is a psychic. When One Republic started singing Apologize, she instantly said "David Archuleta should of sang this song. It would of been perfect for him. I wish he would of sang it" and then out walks Archuleta. Right on cue. It was hilarious. And it was probably the best performance for me of the whole season. So good. I love that song.


-David Cook, dont wear eyeliner. Its for women.

-Did anyone of you catch the gay stripper (dont remember his name) singing the George Michael song and seductively whisper the word "naked"? What a sicko. I couldnt stop laughing though it was pretty hilarious.

-Jack Black has forever stolen my heart. That man is funny. We have watched the clip of him with ben stiller, robert downey jr, and a very young and beautiful gladys knight, a few times this morning and i giggle every time. He is so stinking funny.


-Why was Carrie Underwood wearing that ridiculous cuff-to-cuff veil/train thing? It was so so weird. But she is so very beautiful and i like that "Last Name" song. Its similiar in white-trashness as "Before He Cheats." Does anyone else think her weird microphone hand opening and shutting constantly is strange? Its kind of off beat and constant and also distracting but she still remains my number 1 girl crush even though her clothes were off and probably everyone in the audience could see her crotch in that short number she was wearing.


-I think its so so so SO funny everytime Paula stands up and dances. She must think she is so cute and Randy and Simon dont give her the time of day. She pats their backs, sways from side to side, cheers, what have you...and they are stone cold not even looking at her. Its quite hilarious.

-WHO VOTED FOR DAVID COOK 12 MILLION TIMES! I AM OUTRAGED. You guys are all probably voting for Obama too, aren't you? AREN'T YOU!?!?!?!

please bless that i go to the today show summer concert series

Because when im in NY, Chris Brown will be there. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! I have loved him since i first watched Stomp the Yard, and like i said a few weeks ago, i am a 15 yr old. Chris Brown is like my favorite right now and i cannot explain it. I guess im all of a sudden into Hip Hop and R&B or whatever he is. David Archuleta sang "with you" on american idol and it made me so so happy. And now i will "hopefully" get to see him in NY for free!i mean how adorable is he?

XOXO Gossip Girl

Last night at Anthropologie i worked with a girl who also works full time at a hotel on the strip. This passed weekend there was a certain snazzy dancer who maybe already brought sexy back, staying at the hotel. She was basically his slave, got his dog beds embroidered upon his arrival, took him to his room etc.

Well he checked out and left behind a toiletries bag. In it, a love note from a big bottomed actress, deoderant, a toothbrush, an envelope of cash, and an unmarked pill bottle.

Maybe inside the pill bottle was Valtrex. A certain herpes medication? hahahahahaha

TRUE STORY!

ANNOUNCEMENT!

2 weeks from tomorrow i am going to the BIG APPLE! Yes! My first NY trip! I am so excited.

I get to see this cuz...

play with this baby...

and go to Camillas baby shower!!! I cannot wait. June 3rd cannot come fast enough.

Biggest loser week 2

Not the biggest loser this week. I'm totally ok with that. Gotta give everyone a turn to feel good about themselves before i CRUSH them all and take the cash prize.

Trudi and i developed a new strategy that started last night. The Sauna. Not only did we sweat off pounds, but we met some pretty good crazies. It was a good time and don't be surprised if you see me in their often.

Babies good to eat?

My mom sent me a forward a few months ago and i was reminded of it today.

MARZIPAN BABIES! Babies made of sugar.
twins!
its a boy!
so delicate!
lots of babies!
its a girl!

I want to know who is the crazy person who made these? Were they made for Anne Geddes birthday cake?

I sent this to Kelly Jo and she had some good questions...

here is our gchat conversation

Kelly: what do you DO with them?

me: put them on cakes?

i have no idea

eat them?

Kelly: you can't eat them...unless you're sick
what is she thinking?

but what if she left the penis off? would that compromise the integrity of the piece?

were a-sexual marzipan-babes a possibility?

so many questions...

p.s. what is the hair made out of?

do we know?

me: no idea

Kelly: is it real baby hair?

Flashback

Linsey sent me a bunch of pictures to use for Ashleys birthday post on the DDD blog, and these little gems were in there. And they are hilarious. Most of them im thinking "what was i thinking with my hair" Seriously those were some bad times.Summer 2004

weird caramel highlights and a short mom curly bob at daniels farewell (we took micahs bus up to kaysville, pretty funny)Winter 2003
this is when cameron wanted to be tan so he bought the same stuff britney spears used (fake bake self tanner) and had me apply it to his arms neck and face. SO WEIRD. And you would probably think i used it too, but i just fake baked at the tanning bed. FREAK i was so tan.2004
jock rock party. I love that Linsey is wearing a Von Dutch hat. That is the best part of this picture. Almost as good as my bent prom photo leg. 2003
i dont know whats going on here, but we were just hanging out in LaCosta 201 like always. Everyone looks so young. This is when i was growing out my black hair, so its beautifully two toned.2005

this was at the bridal shower i threw for linsey, two days before i went into the mtc. It was titled "the Ultimate Bride Sleepover" and it was pretty fun and i am 100% positive, Kunk brought those muddy buddies. SO DELICIOUS.

And he shall go by the name...

Ok, this isn't leisure blogging people, this is a work assignment from THE BOSS.

He and his wife are expecting their 4th and last child and are struggling with this new babies name.

His siblings are Max, Grace and Hank and they want something that seems to fit with the rest of the kids.

Here are the top names....please feel free to hate on or praise...he has tough skin and knows my dear dear friends/enemies have strong opinions.

-Ozzie
(hes already heard the comparison to Ozzy Osborne, and Ozzy from Survivor...give us some new material people!)

-Abe

-Zeke

-Ike

-Cash

& Gus
(seriously Gus is the cutest)

Now for your assignment. What are your thoughts, concerns, opinions on these names and how well they fit in with the siblings. I'm not looking for you to list the names you like and are going to name your kids, if you would like you are welcome to leave them on my other baby naming blog post.

Now blog away folks.

brain dump, blah blah blah

-Last night at Anthro was probably the funnest night i have ever had working there. One of my hilarious co-workers and i were able to dance around and quote the funniest skit ever, for hours. It probably wasn't funny to anyone else other than us, but it was fun. SNL Rock of Love II
also this woman came in, probably my age, and bought 600 dollars worth of stuff for her kitchen. Like plates and knobs. 600 dollars worth. And we helped her out to her car with her 4 giant bags, and put them in her new porsche. it was totally weird.

-finally a bachelor season that has never dissapointed. Always funny, always ridiculous, and last night he picked the girl i wanted him to pick. His little "monkey" shayne (will someone please tell my future spouse that i want to be called monkey?) They are adorable and also i am just so glad he didnt pick Chelsea with her '97 prom hair.

-so i grew up and bought a car. Not the car of my dreams, not a cute passat (yet), but a 2000 saturn to tie me over until i have some credit in nevada and my job for 6 months. 3 more months and i am getting the passat. MARK MY WORDS. But it is really nice having a car again. Its been like 3-4 years. Gas is so expensive though, its depressing.

-Has everyone in the country gotten their stimulus already, other than myself? Seriously, where is it?

-I babysat this last weekend for my bosses kids (they loved me by the way and he told me i was their most favorite babysitter) and we were jumping on their indoor trampoline and i split my favorite Gap trouser jeans. on the thigh. Its really a tragedy.

-I have been really good about going to the gym. I got a membership at LVAC last week and i love it.

-Does anyone need a roommate in Las Vegas? I need a place to live.

-I am going to Huntington/San Diego for my friend JeNae's wedding with Katie Rose and im so excited to see Rhyll and Ashlee and Brittany, and all of my other friends down there that i havent visited, in what seems like years. Girls, lets party. And lets do it really really cheap? Like maybe just sit around and talk?

-Im trying to think of something contraversial again to blog about and get you all worked up again. That homebirthing thing was just too entertaining, wouldnt you say?

-I have really been a fan the last week or two of Chris Brown. Its kind of strange and makes me feel kind of like maybe a 15 yr old but i love him. And i mainly love love love his new song "forever" which is kind of funny because a 15 yr old actually introduced me to that song. Thanks Shannon.

-Camilla is having her baby soon, and its been so fun to brainstorm baby shower ideas with Linsey via gchat all day. Seriously we are coming up with some pretty great stuff, and with Linsey being in Brooklyn and with all of her connections to Martha Stewart, its going to be superb. There have been talks of gourmet popsicles (what? there are such a thing?), and alot of other fabulous things that i cannot give away.

if you dont buy these fake steve maddens from target, you are a fool. they look exactly like the real deal but run you 15 dollars instead of 50.

these are the target ones, 14.99. I have the ones with the buckle but i really want the other ones as well.


the rip-offs below come in at 49.99

biggest loser week 1

6lbs down this week. Sweet huh? Last chance workout of spin class this morning about killed me.

eating a steak from outback for lunch to celebrate and possibly put all 6 lbs back on?

I'll go where you want me to go

Blogging world, meet my bike, named by miss annie stevens as Penelope Joy, and affectionately called "Penny."

on the streets of Walla Walla, Wa

She has traveled all over the southern half of Washigton, cruised through Oregon, soaked up the sun in California, survived 2 winters in Utah and is now safe in the desert with me in Vegas. She arrived this last weekend riding piggyback of Matt's Xterra. This is a sweet reunion.

seen here on 7th north in provo, getting new ipod speakers

She has taken me to work, on afternoon lunches to Jdawgs, on sunday night strolls with Colin and Kelly Jo, shes carried groceries in her basket, annoyed others with her bell, and loved sharing the Gospel. Penny Joy is a good bike.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
this was in my inbox this morning, bike thieves...here is Katie Rose pumping Tyna from the grocery store.

just a picture that i think is funny.

me, kristyn and kelsey hanging out on kelseys bed a few weeks ago.

hands down, best show

if you do not watch this show, you are a certified fool. I'm being dead serious, its my favorite show on television, its seriously so great. It makes me want to be a Walker (not really, cause then i couldnt makeout with Justin, the HOT ONE). Plus, Rebecca, the new sister, who is actually not a sister, was on Everwood-and i was an extra on that show a few times a couple of years ago for some extra cash, and she told me she liked my jacket and basically we are best friends.

(this show is called Brothers and Sisters, and its on abc. Just in case you didnt know)

ps, Lindsay G, i know you agree with me.

a compliment?

Biggest Loser kicks off today. We just had our first weigh in....im SO going to win this thing.

Also my boss just told me i remind him of Rachael Ray. KILL ME NOW.
