Please stop stalking from the shadows.

Most of the time stalking is socially unacceptable, but in the blogging world it is much appreciated. :)
I get 15-20 hits on my blog daily, which I know isn't a lot, but it's way more than I thought I had. I think I would realize the sheer amount of visitors I actually get if people were commenting! :) I love all of you, and I would definitely appreciate some comment love, or at least a quick email, so I know who's seeing this! 

I know I've been a slacker about posting new and hilarious information about my life, but that's because I'm formulating some awesome ideas, and they take some time. Also, I've been really busy thinking about how I'm going to accomplish the things on my to-do list! I'll let you know as soon as I actually DO something about it!

I love all of you! Thanks for visiting!

You can call me Miss Poppins.

Six.

That's how many children I'm now in charge of.
Scary? Of course. Incredible? Absolutely!

I started nannying today.  I'm definitely loving it! It's cuh-razy but so, so fun! I feel like I have gone from
0-60 in 3.5. This morning, I was a lazy college student griping about how her ridiculous roommates feel the need to mess with her laundry and ruin her clothes. Fast forward 10 hours, and I'm coordinating baths, doling out goldfish, reading storybooks, signing off homework, and kissing boo-boos better.

I feel like superwoman.

The house is finally silent, and I'm basking in it. Though I normally have music playing as a background to every moment of my life, I am content to hear the clicking of my keys, and nothing else.  I know it's only 7 short hours before I hit the ground running, but for now I just sit.

I just heard a rustling noise from the general direction of the children's room and I nearly had a heart attack. I. Must. Sleep.

P.S. This is day 2 in a row.... let's see if I can make it 8 more. :)

Resolute.... for now.

I know it's way beyond the socially acceptable time limit for posting your New Year's Resolutions, but I'm pretty good at ignoring those unwritten rules! :) I've never really believed in New Year's Resolutions, because I think they burn people out, and everyone thinks that New Year's Eve/Day gives them some sort of magical superhuman self control. Yeah, right. So I like to take a while, and reflect on my life, and truly decide what will make me happy. Then, I make a bucket list. :) Way more fun than saying "I want to be healthier, exercise more, keep my house cleaner, blah, blah, blah" So here it is!

20 Things to Do in my 20th year

1. Buy a beautiful camera, like this one.
2. Pay off my car.
3. Take and Post pictures with said camera.
4. Bake a homemade cheesecake.
5. Sing the National Anthem at a Utah Jazz game.
6. Go snowboarding (I've lived in Utah for 8 years of my life and never been.)
7. Visit ArizonaLewis at least three times.
8. Act in a play.
9. Do my laundry BEFORE I am perilously close to running out of clean underwear.
10. Write a song.
11. Learn to play the guitar well.
12. Learn to speak fluent Spanish.
13. Go camping.
14. Go fishing and catch a fish.
15. Hike Mount Timpanogos and tour the caves.
16. Go to Disneyland.
17. Visit Washington D.C.
18. Blog every day for 10 days.
19. Go on a road trip.
20. Take a yoga class.

I'll be updating you all each time I complete one of these things. I'm sure some great stories will ensue!

Guess who's back??

So, maybe I'm so busy blog-stalking other people, that I forget to update my own. Also, my complete lack of camera makes my posts full of words, and empty of picture. I guess I'll just have to get more creative, and continue to save some cash! I'm dying for one of these beautiful babies!



Yes, Please!


Photography is one of my loves. Too bad school, all of my jobs, and all that crap people call "real life" suck up all my time and opportunity to be creative! That's why I'm going to do school online for a while, cut back to just 1, maybe 2 jobs, (instead of 3 1/2) and stop letting people tell me how to run my life!


Ah, blogging world... it's good to be back!
