This week on the menu will be burritos burritos and burritos

While procrastinating my homework, I bought this...

You may be fooled into thinking that this is a regular can of refried beans. It is not.
Yes, you are reading that right. Only 2 months to finish it. Any ideas for things to make with beans. I will never go shopping with my roommate again. She is the one who convinced me to buy it.

Melissa the Win

My FHE group went bowling on Monday and I actually did pretty good! I got the 2nd highest score which for those who know me is pretty amazing. There it is the number 131 in the bottom right hand corner!
My roommate Joslyn and I. I always make the same face in every picture.


It was a good night down at Teton lanes. Why do bowling alleys always smell the same?

Basketball Jones

I have got to say that I love being the manager for the guys basketball team. I like being in charge making sure everyone is at practice, calling people, and making sure everything is organized. It is kind of fun! I have also started to love the game of basketball again. I had forgotten how much I really loved it. I like how the guys on the team give me their stuff to hold before the game or at practice-it shows that they trust me. At first I was really out of my comfort zone but I think I am learning something!

What am I going to do with my life??

I might change my major or minor. I am not really sure what I want to change it to, so I am open to suggestions. What do you think I should do with my major? Any ideas on what I should major in?

Things I have learned this week.

- I don't have much to put on a resume
- I can be mistaken for a basketball coach if I walk around with a notebook pretending to know what I am doing
-The University Bookstore is only there to cause me great pain
- I can ask for my parents help
- I am capable to doing things I thought I couldn't do
- I still love fantasy novels

Mom- You thought you had a smart daughter but you might be mistaken.

I forgot my phone charger and my computer charger at home. I was so sure that I had remembered everything.

Sisters

I love the fact that we cross our legs and read the same way.

No I will not be forced...

to buy my books at the Bookstore any longer. I refuse to pay the horrible prices. Let it be known!

Out of Africa

This is seriously amazing! Go here. I am taking a class on the history of Africa and my teacher told us about this site. I have always wanted to do something that could help people in Africa and this might be it.

Carved the roast beast....

I picked out this roast. I am quite pleased with myself because I have never picked out a roast before. Feeding the FHE family was a great sucess!

Shoes, Shoes, Shoes!

My new Thanksgiving Vans-25% off!

You owe 52 dollars...

This is why you should not delete the e-mails the library sends you about your overdue books. It could mean bad news.

Watch out for that TREE!!!

Pine trees can be dangerous! Extremely dangerous! Let me explain. Today we(my friends and I) went to take some holiday pictures in the snow. Joslyn our photographer asked us to go stand near this pine tree. I start walking towards the tree with my head bent down so I won't get stabbed by the branches. Little did I know that there was a branch sticking out right in the direction my face was going. So I ran into this branch with my face! I started yelling "attack of the TREE" over and over again. I look back over my shoulder and there is this really cute guy walking by and laughing at me. I swear everyday I find new ways to embarrass myself! So watch out for pine trees. You might get stabbed in the face!

I am definitely a fan of turkey and Thanksgiving.

Here I am showing off my Thanksgiving belly! It was indeed a marvelous day!

Your never going to get to France...

I am so excited! I might be going to Europe next fall. I seriously want to jump and dance around my apartment!

Winger's

I went to Winger's tonight and had a hamburger. It was quite tasty.

A little bit of Randomness

I love Polka Dots

I bought this cute new dress! Whenever I buy a new dress I always want to wear it right away. So my roommates dressed up and we went to the store. We got some weird looks-what don't people dress up to go to the store? Here are a few pictures of the incredibly cute polka dot dress!

I just signed up for a tennis class...

And I have never played tennis. This will be interesting.

If I just lay here

I am waiting to register for next semester so I thought I would post this picture of my beautiful face.

I thought about it and then decided against it.

So I was trying to decide if I wanted to become a vegatarian or not. I thought yes because I am not really a big fan of meat. Then I was talking to my brother and he reminded me how much I like crunchwraps from Taco Bell. They have meat in them. I realized how true that was and there went my idea of being a vegatarian.

I remember when...

I had a social life. Now I do homework all the time and I am quite sick of it.

Some of the Worst Halloween pictures that have ever been taken

I would post pictures from Halloween but they are quite frightening. So I will not post them.

I have Confidence in Me

My hometeacher from last year came to visit me yesterday. He told me something that kind of took me aback. He said that I had more confidence then last year, that I seemed more sure of myself. What made me more confident? I don't remember any big event that made me change, so maybe it is a million tiny moments. Will I continue to change? What will I be like next year, in five years, or in ten years? I know that change is inevitable but sometimes it scares me.

A Bright Spot in My Day!

I found this extremely hilarious. I guees I am going to have to start dressing up when I go to Wal-Mart!

More Crayon Pictures

Hey there Green Crayon...

"

This is me dressed up as a Green Crayon. Tonight was our Stake Halloween Dance and so my roommates and I dressed up as Crayons. We all had signs telling people what we were dressed up as. Best line from tonight from this cute boy I danced with- "So what color of crayon are you?" ( I am thinking "I am wearing all green- how hard can that be to figure out) I said "Green because I am wearing all green!" He said "Well I wasn't sure if it was some exotic color." You may be cute but you are not to smart!

Through the Years...

I have loved Christian Bale

From Empire of Sun

to Little Women

and Newsies,

Batman Begins

And finally THE PRESTIGE.

My love has not diminished.

Baby of the World

Who told you that was a good idea?

Today as I was walking to class, I saw a guy wearing a hot pink shirt and earphones that looked like they belonged to a space alien. It made my day. Even now when I think about it, I smile!

Smile big

I am most impressed.
My friend Will makes wedding videos( super awesome videos for which he charges big money) and he got a new camera and offered to take pictures of my roommates and I.


I like both of them but I especially like the one with the whole bench. I must say it is nice to have friends who can take good pictures!

I am in love with...

Amazon.com. They totally got my Betsy-Tacy books to me in 2 DAYS!!!! This has made today the BEST DAY EVER!!!

My Voice....

Sounds like a man's. That is what a cold will do to a person.

Just Some Random Pictures

Scary Sumo wrestling, Roommates and I at the Rockapella concert, pretty wildflowers in my front yard, Me at the fair and a cute drawing!

While I should be doing homework...

Only I would be lucky enough to look like Silvio Berlusconi

I really don't understand you..

You ignore my emails and then you start talking to me a week later like nothing happened. Then you say that you will pick up some stuff from my house for me but never show up. You don't even call to say that you can't. Could you please explain yourself to me? I am having a hard time understanding.

Why am I studying rocks?

I am taking a Geology class this semester and we had to draw a picture of the Rock Cycle. So what if I can't make perfect circles. I just have this feeling that I am going to sit by someone whose drawing is beautiful and looks like they took days and days to complete it. Just my luck.

I don't know what to think

Sometimes I wish I didn't do stupid things.

No place like home

Home

A friend called me this morning and asked if I wanted to go home for a couple hours. So I went home, ate some good homemade food, danced with my younger siblings, talked with my parents and had a grand old time. Now sitting back in my apartment I wish I could go back home. I just love being there.

Boys are a distraction I can't afford!

No BOYS for a WEEK!!!

Reasons I am glad to be back at school...

-New roommates who are super COOL! They are freshman and are very adorable.
-Buying my own food. I love having food that I like to eat. I have actually been cooking for myself!
-Being back at my apartment and getting to decorate it.
-Meeting new people and seeing people I know
-Starting my new classes and feeling smart!

Showing off my skills in Photography

This was the only picture I took at my singles ward campout. I think it turned out pretty well.

My new name

Gggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggjjjjjjjkkkk///oorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbblllll,lllllllllllzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
This is my name as translated from Tannerish- I kind of like it. Maybe I will go by that from now on.

And They Call It Rodeo

I have never been to a Rodeo. I really want to go to a Rodeo. I think I am going to make it my goal for the summer, to make it to a Rodeo.

Diet Coke + Mentos = Not so big bang

After getting all excited to put mentos in diet coke to see what would happen, it was quite a disappointment. It is suppose to shoot the Diet Coke 20 feet into the air, but no such luck for us. As I was running away from the Diet Coke it barely fizzed at all. By the time I had turned around it was already done. I am sure the neighbors had a good laugh, since we invited them out to watch. I am going to have to do a little experimenting because I want it to work. This could become an expensive experiment.

Sisters

I have been wondering lately, how much my younger siblings(esp. Kimberlyn), will remember me. They are such a big part of my life right now and I know I mean alot to them at this moment. I just wonder if they will remember any of the fun stuff we do and if they will have any memories of me. I hope that I will still have fun times with them when I am older, that I won't just be some old weirdo. I hope that I will be a "cool" older sister.

Hot Hot Hot

Arizona is a very hot state. When I walked out of the airport I thought to myself " What did I get myself into?" There is a reason I like Fall and that is because it is sweater weather. I love sweaters therefore I love sweater weather. Needless to say it was about 106 degrees everyday except maybe for the hour that it rained. I had never seen it rain that hard ever. So I guess my trip to Arizona was a sucess because I got to experience hot weather and very hard rain! We also visited a Native American Museum which had this cool piece of art that represented the earth and sky.

Weed Killer

I killed danelions today. I don't feel bad because they were making our backyard look like a white trash trailer park. I just couldn't stand it anymore so I started picking them. Most of them where huge, taking up large plots of ground. Danelions are usually pretty, at least for a weed, but not when all the tops have been picked off. I love it when Sarah will bring in some for my mom with all the tops picked off. Maybe she thinks they look better that way. By the time I was done I had this huge pile and I am not even done with the yard. Gives me something to do tomorrow.

Marilyn Monroe

Resume

I was trying to put together a Resume today, when I realized something. I really have NO experience especially in the job area. I know that people should hire me but they don't know that. They will just look at my resume and say "What only one job- and pulling carpet at that". With that I am doomed to spend my whole summer looking for a job and yet never getting one. This could turn into a troublesome experience.

So We Went to the 4 Legged Zoo

Yesterday, I went with Sarah on her field trip to the Zoo. I don't ever remember visiting the Zoo when I was in Elementary School, so it was a fun experience. All the kids would scream when the animals would move or do something unexpected. One of the monkeys would throw itself against the glass when it saw its keeper. That was quite exciting. It was fun to be able to look at all the animals and learn about their habitat. I was just wondering what other peoples memorable zoo experinces have been. I think I like the tigers the best- they look so much like big cats!
