Grandma's Old Gems

I've had a bag of my glamorous grandma's old jewelry. It included a lot of clip on earrings and gold necklaces. Lots of 90's trinkets, and I've been wanting to put them to good use for years (literally). My birthday was a few weeks ago, and my Grandma got me two really cute hair clips from Antrhopologie. They were adorable, and I love them, because they weren't your usual hair clip. ANYWAYS, this gave me the inspiration I needed. The cherry to my sundae if you will! So I busily got to work. Grabbed my supplies and manly tools and went to work.

This Week/Month's Goals:

Goal 1: Try and eat food with 5 ingredients or less.

Goal 2: Try and eat foods with ingredients a 3rd grader could read.

Goal 3: Go to bed at 10PM! ( I don't ever remember going to bed earlier than at least 12)

Goal 4: Choose one show a day to watch on t.v., I only get one!

Goal 5: Spend an hour a day on the computer maximum.

Goal 6: Start and finish a book this week.

Goal 7: Plant something, start a little garden of sorts.

I'v realized I've been spending WAY too much time on the t.v. and computer. I don't even really like t.v. that much! I got my food goals from Michael Pollan's book Food Rules. He was on Oprah the other day and helped with the ever so amazing documentary Food Inc. Everything he says makes sense to me, and I'm excited to change my eating habits.

Maybe I'll give it a whack!

Well, I haven't blogged since October. I don't really feel I have the right to blog seeing I don't have children, I'm not really crafty, and I don't come up with delicious foods from scratch. BUT maybe I have something different to offer the blogger world. Things such as awkward moments I tend to have regularly, a good book review, and other odds and ends type of shenanigans. I'll try it. Maybe you'll like it, maybe I won't. I'll just throw around the idea of blogging, and we'll see how it goes.

She is the bestest mostest greatest...

Mum in the entire world. Yup it's true! If I counted the things she did for others in a day my list would wrap around the world. I kid you not. So here's to a wonderful women I like to call Mom/mum/mumsie. Happy Birthday and please RELAX! Enjoy life today, because it's beautiful! I love you Mom.

Dun dun dunnnnn

Its that time of the year again-yes-school-yes. So I have changed my major to special education but PLEASE don't hold me to it. I'm throwing around the idea of elementary ed as well. It's hard figuring your life out. Good thing for prayer and guidance from my Father in Heaven. I am back at school and they have been doing a ton of construction and our old MC building is practically unrecognizable! It is huge and clean and lovely. I haven't started school yet, but tomorrow is the BIG day. I'm trying to write out a schedule to keep myself sane and healthy this semester. This is something I'm usually not good at doing, but I will conquer it...I'm sure of it.

What I've been up to lately...

Well time seems to be flying by at WARP speed! It feels like I just got here. I've been having tons of fun, I absolutely love my roomates and new friends. It's not all fun and games though, no sir it is not! School is so so so busy. I'm not even taking as many credits as I should be and I'm still drowning in constant homework! There are some weeks (usually most) where I'll get about a total of 4 hours of sleep in two days, and no people I don't have a newborn...it's called I'll do homework later so I can play. OR it's called my teacher's are crazy and give me wayy to much to do. Hello don't they know I'm busy? Next week I'm headed to Utah to spend the 4th with family, and I'm very excited. Also a little disclaimer a boy from my ward drowned in the Snake River Tuesday, because the river is flooded. A little caution to all PLEASE be careful when your swimming in rivers especially now with the water coming in from the melted snow in the mountains, check the conditions and wear life jackets! On a lighter note here's what I've been up to.

Getting Outta hurrr

Well its that time of the week again...THE WEEKEND. I live for them. This weekend I'm preparing to do something a little different. School has graciously given us off monday for memorial day, AND tuesday for "examination day"/ya right what teacher would give an examination out after memorial day when we have no school. So the roomies put their heads together and we came up with a little something.

I'm starting this right now

and I'm doing a lot of this tonight

So I can leave for this on friday and go to it on saturday! I'm SOOOO excited!!

and do a little of this as well...

Don't be jealous..because when I get home I'll be living at the library. I don't even want to think about it! So I wont.
