If My Life Was Made Into a Movie

After watching a movie with some friends, we started talking about if our life was made into a movie who we would want to have the starring role. It's actually a pretty interesting question, in my opinion. Of course you could just rattle off the name of the hottest celebrity at the moment, but is that really who you think could capture your life? Would you want someone known for their dramatic roles? How about someone with perfect comedic timing? An actor/actress type-cast as a villan? My friend said she'd pick Rachel McAdams. Good choice, I'd say. She can do comedy (Mean Girls), she can do drama (The Notebook), she can do suspense (Red Eye)- all key components to life, well my friend's life anyway (and a great movie).

So who would I cast in the starring role of my life? Well after some consideration, I think my choice is Kate Hudson. I choose her because my movie would undoubtedly be found in the romantic comedy section (although right now I'm waiting around for the romantic part of the romantic comedy to begin, but that's beside the point). And Kate Hudson has got the romantic comedy thing down to an art. Let's take a look at some of her movies: Sure dramatic events occur (loses sister in Raising Helen, gets into a big fight with her best friend in Bride Wars), but those moments are usually set ups for some of the funniest moments later on, just like in my own life. I think Kate Hudson gets that. Yes, Kate Hudson could play me. And she could probably play me better than I could play myself. Other contenders include: Reece Witherspoon and Meg Ryan (when she was a bit younger... sorry, Meg) Who would you cast to play you? (I really want to know)

Swing, Swing, Swing

Today's Adventure: Swinging

The weather this afternoon was just right; not too hot and not too cold (Goldilocks herself couldn't ask for better weather). I'm so glad I have roommates who put up with my whims!

All Day...

it rained


so we jumped

and I danced.

Battlecreek Boutique

So why would I write about something as seemingly trivial as a trip to a boutique you ask? Well because the amazing kid from this post moved very last minute and will no longer be attending the program. I didn't get to say goodbye. I am extremely distraught about it and browsing the boutique lifted my spirits to a small degree. That's why. Thanks for telling me about it, Kass! I had fun.


New sunglasses. I tend to lose or break sunglasses about as soon as I remove the price tag. Good thing they were inexpensive!


I love green. And I love shoes. Like Kassidy said, my shoe size is one of the very few constants I have in my life.

Spring Break

So this is Easter, right? Nice weather, able to be outside in short sleeves.

This is 3 days later. Did it snow during my spring break? Why yes, in fact it did. Thanks a lot, Mama Nature. See if I plant a tree for you this Earth Day.

Despite the weather, it was a good time. I got to see this lovely girl, for example.

And maybe I really wanted to see the new Zac Efron movie. Maybe I made my little brother go with me. Maybe that was the same day it came out. Maybe. Don't judge me.

Spring in Provo

Fickle though it may be, spring in Provo is pretty

The lovely ladies in this photo and I went to Comedy Sports a couple weeks ago. Tickets on Thursdays are only $4! Totally worth it. I definitely laughed $4 worth.

FYI: Everything on Center Street either closes at 5:00 pm or opens at 8:00 pm. There's nothing to do around the 7:00 hour. Learned that the hard way.

Best of Intentions

Rachel's Life Transcript:

Effort- A

Execution- F

I bought my coworker a present for her last day at work. Then I forgot to give it to her. Now she's in Oregon, and I probably will never see her again. I had the best of intentions.
In my bursting binder of Relief Society materials I have dozens of papers with quotes from February's visiting teaching message. I forgot to hand them out. It's almost April. I had the best of intentions.
I decided to be economical during these "economically difficult times" and decorate the outside of a composition notebook instead of buying a more expensive journal. I've been writing in it since December. The outside is exactly the same as when I bought it. I had the best of intentions.
A months ago I was volunteering at a family treatment center. Then my work schedule changed, and I forgot to change me volunteering schedule. I had the best of intentions.
I have an exercise ball sitting on a shelf in my closet, still in the box with a ribbon around it. I intended it to give it to a friend that I worked out with as her Christmas present. That was back in 2007. I had the best of intentions.
Last week I decided to go to bed early. I ended up painting until late into the night instead. I had the best of intentions.
The Relief Society presidency and I thought it would be fun to start a little apartment get to know you tradition in the ward. The idea was that one apartment invites another over to get to know each other better and then the invited apartment asks another apartment the next week, thus creating a chain reaction, if you will. We invited an apartment over to get it started. The chain began and stopped there. I had the best of intentions.
At the beginning of the school year I decided I would get my workouts over with in the morning. That kick lasted through the first week of September. I had the best of intentions.
Every Sunday I decide that I am going to bake treats sometime in the upcoming week. I haven't baked since... Well, anyway, I had the best of intentions.
About a year and a half ago I decided I was going to take up cake decorating. I even bought a book to help me in my new culinary endeavor. I have yet to use the book. I had the best of intentions.
I guess when I get called up to the pearly gates that will be my argument: I had the best of intentions.

Kinda Funny

This picture is awesome for two reasons:

1. Chelsea and Allyson are fantastic.

2. Together we are a blond, a brunette, and a redhead... insert jokes here.

Happy Birthday, Rachie Dear!!!

While I'm at it, I just wanted to wish Rachel (and no, I'm not referring to myself) a HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I love this girl! We've been friends since the seventh grade. She is beautiful, fun, and sweet as can be! Rach, you're the best!

I'm New at This

A while back I was talking to my friend, Brittney and she told me how much she loved blogging and following other people's blogs. I've never done the whole blog thing before and until she convinced me to look into it, I never really read others' blogs either. So I began following hers, which led me to others, which led me to others and so on. I started stumbling across some darling and inspiring blogs and I thought, "I totally want to be one of those darling and inspiring bloggers." Well, thanks a lot Britt. I'm now totally addicted to following blogs. So here we go. I'm going to give this whole blogging thing a shot.

Anyway, for Valentine's Day I made cupcakes for my class with the help of my dear friend, Melissa. I love cupcakes. I love my class. I love Melissa. I love making cupcakes for my class with Melissa.
