so... here's the thing.
my computer has been taken over by a virus.
i don't know how to get it off,
i don't know how it got on there,
but i took it to the professionals before it did serious damage.
it's making my hair fall out and my face break out.

good news though.
i'm no longer a failure.
i'm a college student now.
starting january i will be stomping the campus of orem. watch out.
that also caused the lost hairs and acne.

it's been quite the week to say the least.

i meant to blog about this a while ago...

bradley cooper.
how do you feel about it?
i personally.. somewhat agree.
he is gorgeous without a doubt.

he looks darn fine with short hair.
and you can't deny those are some peepers he has.




do you agree?
if not, who is the sexiest man alive?
(keep in mind, he speaks french, cooks gourmet italian meals, and a straight up gentleman.)

creepin.

please forgive me,
for i'm truly uninspired.

i went shopping today, not really for black friday, shopping was merely a necessity for the lack of clothes my RM brother was having.

i'm done christmas shopping. it feels pretty good.

but there were some pretty good deals where i was but again, i'm very uninspired.
i wandered for at least a half hour with nothing but a little gift for my mom.

why can't i find anything??

then i saw this girl walk in, she had that style that everybody wants to dress like but they're too scared.
she had a loose braid, glasses, a chunky knit sweater, ankle pants that showed her fair isle patterned socks inside of her oxfords.

she walked in and immediately started grabbing things.
(note: i'm really not a creeper like this in most situations.)
soo... i followed her around.

and you know what?
it worked.
not saying i copied her.
i actually saw her as she was checking out and she had none of the same things

but i found two things that i'm pretty excited about
my mom got mad at me and took them from me, threw me some cash and said i had to wait until christmas to wear them now.

christmas. i can't wait.

costco sampling etiquette

today was a particularly hard day at the store of costco,
i decided to vent a little bit while teaching a great lesson for my readers.

i'm a sample lady.
yes it is quite a job.

so here is my guide to being a polite costco sampler.

(yes people really do these things)

1. don't ignore us. our job is to greet you and talk about our product, just be a little nice

2. please please please only grab one.we take all this time to fill up the tray and i'm ready to give nine people a taste and then one person comes up and grabs four. cool. i guess only five people will get to taste it.

3. we have a little plastic shelter thing for a reason, don't grab any other food that isn't underneath it. nothing irks me more. i've had people come behind and reach around me to get it while i'm preparing.

4. don't be a know it all. we don't know what we're sampling until we get there that morning, i can't tell you everything about the product.

and finally

5. don't hover. unless i'm having a conversation with you, and i'm not ready, don't hang around and wait for the sample, walk around the aisle or something.


now instead of giving you the stink eye like i do when people do these things, all the sampling ladies will love you.

somedays, i just get this sudden motivation to just do something crafty.
but i have nothing to do.

one thing i really want to do is get a new duvet,
mine's super old and doesn't even match my room or what i'm going for,
neither does it match my gorgeous handmade quilt from my grandma.

i have always had my eye on those ruffled duvets


but who has an extra two hundred dollars laying around for a blanket??

i researched it.
there are tons of tutorials for each of these.
the only problem is finding time to do it.

i'm seriously thinking of doing this one or this one.
does anyone think i'm crazy?
or i can do it?

i'll do it.
