fotography

i have been trying to figure out for a while what to post a blog about and it just came to me! i'm really bad at this whole blog thing but i am trying. i really am. so here is what this post will be about. i love photography and i want you to see what i love. they are just a few of my favorites

the birthday i spent...sick

birthdays are supposed to be a happy time. a day we smile. a day we get what we want. a day we do what we want. a day we enjoy. apparently not for me. seeing as i need money so greatly i had to work for the first time ever on my birthday. it sucked. and i was sick. well what's new. i've been sick since january pretty much but out of all those months of being sick, this had definitely been the worst. i couldn't eat anything without my stomach cramping up terribly and feeling nauseous. sounds like a blast, huh? i did get an whole bunch of new clothes. and my parents surprised me with beautiful yellow tulips, a balloon, peeps, and cupcakes, which were both completely sugar so my stomach could handle them. the also took me to see the movie Beastly when i was feeling better and made me a delicious stake dinner. i love my parents. i'll miss them when i go back to school. i guess this will just be remembered as the birthday that sucked. and the birthday that i celebrated 2 days late. i guess it wasn't so bad but no one likes being so sick you can't eat. especially on your birthday. oh well. there's always next year i guess!

life is sweet

i've never had such a strong love hate relationship with something as i do with sugar. sometimes i just hate the fact that i have such a bad sweet tooth. that and the combination of me getting older and my metabolism slowing down will be the death of me one day. but i eat it anyway and regret it later. so here are my top 5 guilty pleasures (in no particular order) when it comes to the sweet stuff:

haagen dazs dulce de leche ice cream (or anything that involves caramel)

one of the most expensive ice creams at the grocery store but it is the single most delicious ice cream that was ever created

this little ball of deliciousness needs no explanation

what is this delicious looking treat you ask? a nanaimo bar. created in canada and introduce to me by my canadian roommate fall semester at BYU-I

i love oreos and pretty much anything that involves oreos. oreo ice cream. oreo cake. oreo pie. oreo cakesters. oreo milk shake. but i can't eat a plain oreo without a tall glass of cold milk. yum

oh the snickers bar. by far my cheapest guilty pleasure but still so very delicious and it contains two of my favorite things. chocolate and caramel.

i love the sweet stuff

this is my life

i am starting new. hopefully this blog will be better than the last one that i so greatly failed at. this is my life. i am currently not at school, which, at times, can be pretty boring. all my friends are at school. i have no social life. the most socializing i do is with children ages 5 and under since i work at a daycare where i spend most of my time. i like my job. sometimes. 

this is where i work. it provides hours a day of entertainment from my boring life and hundreds of children. some say the cutest things ever and you just love them to death. others are annoying, drive you crazy, and are the reason you couldn't be more grateful for your eight hour shift to be done at the end of the day. it is also filled with germs. thousands of germs which will give you anything from the common cold to strep throat. luckily i haven't come down with anything worse than the cold but when you're around kids who don't know how to wipe their own noses or cover their mouth when they cough your're bound to catch something eventually. i have been sick since a few days after Christmas and i am tired of it. i just want to be better. so parents of children i work with, please stop bringing your children to school sick. it is frustrating for me. thanks.
