brain = smart. head = dumb.

october was way good to me.

i can only foresee november being even better.

i've been feeling so much gratitude lately. it's the best feeling.

i've been dancing a lot lately. and coke zero is now acceptable.

i just downloaded the harry potter theme song as my ringback tone.

great, now my phone's gonna be ringin' off da hooK!

you make me feel like a bath?

this weekend was soo good!

the photos tell the stories better than i could. but you should have been there. because being there tells the stories even better than the photos do. what?

bestfriend sydnee and i hung out on friday, and sawyer wanted to come to target with us! so we made him stay in the purse.

jamie, me and eryn

friday night was miss jamie's birthday outing! a whole bunch of people met up at the light rail and we rode it into phoenix. most of the gang brought bikes to ride,

i brought a razor scooter.

this is my friend matt. he wore rollerblades and made me look mini. who doesn't like that?

once we got off the light rail we trekked over to this place called DUCE. i recommend. it's this warehouse type building where they have vintage boutique type items, a boxing ring, a restaurant, stadium seating, and an ice cream/shake bar.

then we rode back towards the light rail, stopping to take some real cool photos.

on the way back i fell off my scooter and barrel rolled, thrashing my knee. it was gnar gnar. or sicky icky. whichever you prefer.

saturday i spent the day with my dearest erin. we had a nice lunch, some dessert. then matt came over and we all watched empire records. if you haven't seen it, do. but don't get the fan version, it's naughtier. later jordan joined us and we went and saw it's kind of a funny story, which i also recommend. then erin and i made a sick vid.

yahoo!

this is a photo of me at my sweet kristine's wedding reception, going back for seconds by myself :( sad day for the fat girl inside me

photo by ben christensen, i think

a post about red meat.

tonight, my soul was born and i can finally start to live my life.

what brought on this renaissance? you ask.

TEXAS ROADHOUSE.

how is it that i been living for 20 years and never have partaken until this night?

all i know is, i.love.sirloin.

mmmsteak.

oh, and here i am riding a ceramic bull.

[please excuse my awkwardness and thigh chub.]

cohens and cowboys

i just finished re-watching season one of the OC.

and i wept for the last fifteen minutes straight.

i adore ryan atwood and the cohens.

today, taylor and i did some manly things.

we went to two gun shops searching for some special ammo, ate at cheba hut (MMM!), and played at bass pro shop. taylor taught me about different types of fish, and different types of guns.

we also browsed around shepler's (the cowboy store) where i rode (sat on) a ceramic bull. there are steps leading up to a platform so you can climb onto the bull, and as i was walking up there, this old cowboy man said to me, "well now, is that the auction block?" i sure do have a way with the elderly men. gross. also while at shepler's, i got a much needed dream catcher for my rear-view mirror.. did you know that i'm 1/16 cherokee?

we went to sportsman's warehouse, and later ended up at taylor's house shooting a bottle of saline solution in the backyard. then we ate hot dogs and did some wikipedia research on skinwalkers and watched youtube videos of sasquatch.

i'm pretty sure my life can't get any better.

like a feather

hey guys guess what. i'm okay. in fact, i am much better than okay.

i am great!

things in arizona are finally falling into place.

i love being able to hang out with my bestfriend alllll the time.

i lucked out BIG TIME and got a job within a week of searching, at bath & bodyworks!

aaand i've been listening to lots of country music this week... :)

for christmas

i'm wishing for..

this beautiful dream catcher necklace from etsy.

with the crystals in any shade of brown.

and this wonderful owl ring (also from etsy) is calling my name.

i wish i didn't like little "things" so much. but i do!

so, VEGAS

was so so much fun. we walked around and saw... pretty much everything (including lots of skin that we didn't want to see). our hotel was atrocious, but at $50 a night, what can you expect?

the bellagio was... amazing. the waters synchronized with sarah brightman and andrea bochelli singing "time to say goodbye" is in the top ten most epic moments of my life.

we visited caesar's palace. saw some marble boobies.

the venitian and the palazzo were both uber classy. they have a river with a gondola in the venitian.

i won $3 at mandalay bay on a slot machine... shhh.

i didn't get i.d.'d once, which was shocking, because i look like i'm a junior in high school.

i got a gnarly gash on my knee trying to run up a downward moving escalator in the mgm parking lot. something like this could only happen to me, because of my complete lack of coordination (except on the dance floor, that is).

i love my friends and my jakey. and sin city ain't too bad.
