That's right. Take that, reality.
Thanks, Mandi!

Tag! You're it!

My Lindsey Fantastic is gone. Gone, gone, gone, until I see her again.

I have a new addiction. It's called Lost, and the cure is unknown.

Not a lot of blogging material has happened; thus the lack of blogs. I curled my hair today and LOVED IT! If it didn't take so long I'd do it more often. I am also pretty much over fluff lung. An epidemic swept through Provo, and a ton of people got it. I'm glad I had it when I did instead of, for example, this week. Too much to do.

I know I always blog about the weather, but it's very important to me! It's been a warmer week again. We have even had a lot of rain! Crazy Utah. I am definitely looking forward to April or May, because after that is summer, and we all know that I love summer!

My Pseudo Summer

It's warming up! I can go outside in just a hoodie. It is so awesome! I am really counting down the months until summer. Soon enough I'm going to be counting down the weeks, then the days... Hooray!

I've been hearing from a lot of people lately that I haven't talked to for a long time. It's a lot of fun to see what everyone has been up to and to see where they are in their lives. It gives me some motivation to do more in most cases. Okay, and some people make me feel pretty darn good about myself. Just kidding! Sort of. More kidding that not. I love talking to people, with all their different exciting things that they do, or don't do, as the case may be.

So about my New Years resolutions. I've decided to scrap them. Badhorse didn't approve of my plan, I love my arms and legs, sometimes I just have to get drunk (especially with all the competition at BYU; it's very stressful), organization is for dorks (yes, I just called you a dork) and learning is harder than I thought it would be. So my new resolution is to come up with resolutions for next year that are easy and don't make too big of a difference. who needs to progress anyway?

Should Old Acquaintance Be Forgot...

It is the new year. Hooray! Good time to think about everything that's happened and start over new. So, here are my New Year resolutions:

Get rich - I've come up with two plans to do this. The first is to befriend a rich old person. Then we all know what happens. The second, and more likely of the two, is to rob a bank. I'm still waiting to hear some details from Badhorse on how to do this one, but when it comes I'm going to need some backup. Any takers?

Lose weight - I've heard the quickest way to do this is to cut off an appendage. No diet or exercise required.

Quit smoking and drinking - I can stop whenever I want. Just like I can stop breathing or facebooking.

Get organized - no more clothes, shoes, books, homework, computers, plates, cups, markers, movies, useless electric cords or too-old coupons on the floor. That might take a lot of work. Or I might leave it for next year.

Learn something new - Although I might try to avoid this one. This should be a challenge, especially while going to school. But I will consider it an accomplishment of sorts.

That's it for now. I'll keep everyone posted if I come up with any new ones. It's only the second day of the year, after all.

Your Mom is an Asparagus!

It's true. Go look.

I love Christmas break! It's been a blast. My family decided that we were going to catch up on sleep while we didn't have school or a lot of work, but so far I haven't gone to bed before 1:00 a.m. Which I know isn't super late, but it is when the little kids are getting up at 7 or 8. It's pretty much just one big party! And I mean big. There's my huge family plus everyone's friends and even some random neighbors. I like it a lot.

It has snowed a lot at my house. So far it is up past my knees, and it's only the beginning of the snowing season. It's not supposed to snow any more for the rest of my time at home, though. I'm kinda glad. I think A-Jon and I are going to four-wheeling in it later today if we can track one down. Wish us luck!

I haven't taken a ton of pictures, but in the next week or so I hope to take a lot. I'll post them on my facebook for everyone. Yay for pictures! Everyone have a good weekend.

Soft Fleece Blankets and Catching Things on Fire to Stay Warm

Okay, not so much the 'catching things on fire' part. But close! It's freezing outside. This morning Manda and I drove Lin up to the airport and it took us TWO HOURS because of all the snow. Crazy! It was really snowy and slick. But sort of exciting at the same time! Only because I know now that it's officially winter. None of this hot one day, cold the next stuff. I automatically know to put on my boots and coat when I'm on my way.

Apologies for not writing more. You have no idea how many posts I've started and forgotten about, only to not want to write again when I remember.

New favorite TV show! This will make me sound like a nerd... but you have to see it. It's called Robin Hood, put on by BBC, and Jonas Armstrong is in it. Don't know who he is? Look him up! Then put posters of him on your walls! No, I don't watch the show just for him. But I could, and so could you. If you're into that kind of thing (name that song!). Robin Hood has an awesome plot, fantastic characters, and hilarious lines.

End of the semester! Yay! That means no more stressors for another few weeks. I can even do my job at home in my housecoat, bunny slippers, and my hair in curlers. (I'm taking after you, Dad). Not that I constantly put my hair in curlers or often use a housecoat... I say nothing about the bunny slippers.

It's Christmastime! Hooray! Besides the obvious meaning, it also means decorations, gifts, peppermint and happiness! Yay! And, of course, Christmas songs. My favorite one right now is called I Celebrate the Day by Relient K. It's pretty awesome. Christmas also means people are coming home for the first time in a while, like Wil and Logan and Christina. I am definitely looking forward to it.

If I Had a Penny for Everything I loved About You, I Would Have Many Pennies

Updates. Hooray! Mostly this is for you who don't live with me, because those of you who do have heard all this. I give you much love for listening to me! :)

Friday I got in my first car accident. Huzzah! It was just in the parking lot where I live. The car I was driving (Amanda's - I love you!) is mostly okay, but the car I hit needs some fixing. It's drivable, but I hit the rear tire on the driver side, so it doesn't drive very well. It is somewhat of a pain to get taken care of... okay, more than somewhat. But it all works out somehow.

Second story! Our BYU ward Halloween party got shut down by the cops. Yes, it did. We were too loud for all the fine people in Lindon to stand our happiness. It was pretty awesome.

Micheal is really enjoying the MTC! He and his mission companion get along great, and he loves learning how to pray and bear his testimony in Korean. His enthusiasm for it all is so contagious! Nate Guest is being set apart as a missionary tomorrow night and is entering the MTC on Wednesday. Keep both of them in your prayers! Along with Jekka, Chris, Eric, Kyle... The list goes on and on.
