SO Random...

^Name that TV Show

SO....My roommate has recently purchased a bicycle and the past 2 night we have gone on leisurely bicycle rides and they have been wonderful. As she put it "If I could quit my job and just ride my bike...oh that would be great". Seriously. On Sunday I installed my basket and bell. Updates to the bike are already under way, it's so great!

Lifeguarding!!! So, lifeguarding has begun. It's the beginning of tan lines and blonde hair. I've been a busy bee just working away at decorating the office, writing nombre's on cups, and thinking about summer. It really is my favorite time of year! I can't wait to smell of chlorine, sunscreen and sunshine!

PHONE! I got a new phone. It is so great. The motorola cliq, yep, you can be jealous. I even got a freakin cute purple cheetah case to go on it! I have installed billions of apps (by billions I mean like 20). I love to play toy story memory, solitaire, and make farting sounds with my fart machine app.. I can update my FB status with the simple click of a button, google whatever my heart desires on my home screen, and download as many ridiculous ringtones as I want (most ridiculous to date: Protazoa, from Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century. One of the greatest Disney Channel Original Movies.) Oh, and don't forget I can watch whatever YouTube videos I want!

Latest meal creations: Rice a Roni with Condensed Chicken Soup and chicken breast. Pretty good! I still love BBQ Chicken Pizza Sandwiches, and I'm now addicted to Hawaiian Punch Lemon-Lime Splash. And Brownie Cookie Bars.

I better get to bed early so I can ride my bike to work en la manana.

Peace, Love and FOOD!

REEEEEEMIIIIIX

I bet you didn't know I could play the organ!? Well, I can. And today was a momentous occasion. I was playing the organ for sacrament meeting today. First hymn, The Iron Rod. I was just fantastical. Second hymn, Jesus, Once of Humble Birth. Sacramental. Final and most fabulous hymn: Secret Prayer. (Hold on to your hats, THIS is where the story gets good!) I began playing and it was going just dandy, I am about a measure away from the chorus and realize I'm not totally mentally there, kind of zoning. What occurred? I began playing the chorus too early..nobody was singing with me. So, I stopped. and....REEEEEEEEMIIIIX! hahaha I rewound myself and began the chorus again. I started giggling like "Well, that was smoooooooooth". I played through the rest of the hymn and it turned out just fine. After the closing prayer everyone came up to make their announcements and one of my friends came and sat on the organ bench next to me and I asked how much he LOVED the closing hymn. His response? "I wasn't sure how to respond then I looked up and saw you giggling and realized I could laugh...so I did" Haha, I'm just there to entertain. It was pretty hilarious. I then thought and decided I should have yelled "reeeeeeeemiiiiiiiix" to lighten the mood to let everyone know that they can totally laugh at me. It would be that they would laugh with me. Not at me. haha. It was quite possibly one of the funniest organ experiences I have ever had.

Ode To Carne Asada Fries

Not really an ode, just a shout out. I love Filiberto's. Carne Asada fries to be exact. What, might you ask, are Carne Fries? Well friends, they are the most delectable heart attack ever. Simply put, it's a Carne Asade burrito thrown up on a mountain of delicious fries. Adding beans and drenching with red sauce only adds to the deliciousness of this plate. I had them last night at 1am and I got to enjoy my leftovers today after church. I always crave these things, it's sad really, but SO AMAZING. :) Don't bash em till you try em.

I want to ride my bicycle...

I want to ride my bike! I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride it where I like!!!! So I gave up on car shopping for a while and have decided to save some dinero by riding a bike until I find a car I actually want instead of being told what to buy from car salesmen. I hate those guys. Just saying. So, I bought this luxurious Huffy 24" wheel Cranbrook Mint Green Cruiser. It is so great and I just feel happy when I'm riding it :) I mean really, it's so cute, it makes me feel healthy (and will eventually give me a rockin bod haha), I got a sweet tan today...could it get any better than that? I submit that it can not! As I rode to Katie's house today, I kinda had a smile on my face. It was wonderful. Also, on my way home from work, I stopped at Tia Rosa's and got some Chips and Green Salsa and beans, then that way I had something great to look forward to when I got home! I found a residential route to Brown from work and enjoyed my chips and salsa! Then, when I didn't want to make my own dinner, I rode my bike a mile to my mothers where I enjoyed a burrito-ey thing with chicken, cheese, lettuce and soy sauce all in a tortilla. Yummy! My main reason for mooching food off my mother was because they also had Glee recorded and I really wanted to watch it. Slight obsession-no. Extreme obsession? Yes! I <3 Artie. I just can't help it. :)

Just call me Purplicious!

My favorite color is purple. Purple glasses, purple otter pops, purple fingernail polish, purple Miley Cyrus clothes...and Now??? PURPLE hair!!!! Hahaha. Since I just finished my year working at the elementary school and I have about a month break until anything super official as far as work goes I decided well heck, why not put some purple in my hair? So I did it! And now I just want MORE!! AHHH. I need to stop while I'm ahead :) Purple hair. Just thought you'd all like to know that Yes, I watch Aquamarine and yeah I get jealous of her blue hair...
:)

RIP Diego...I think... :/

So last night as I began my long trek home from Buckle I noticed my car singing to me. This song had no words, rather, a consistent pattern. Spudder, spud, spud, spudder, spud, spud... (considering selling the lyrics...) I thought welp it is an old car, perhaps it just needs a little check up. Despite my positivity to the situation, deep down I feared my car had reached it's limit. Like 170k miles was a lot or something. I made it home and awoke this morning to my car driving me to work, just singin its song! With a FB status of "Oh my gosh, my car is spuddering. Are you kidding me? Well if you hear of an exploding car it's probably me :/ " I was obviously fearing the worst since the spuddering just continued on... I got a phone call from my brother Ryan asking what was wrong with my car. Apparently my response of "It's sputtering" didn't do much justice to the issue. Since my check engine light was on when I left work, I drove to AutoZone only to find that they don't do diagnostic tests on cars that are 20+ years old GAYTARDED is what that is! So I drove poor Diego to Gunnell's. I went in requesting a diagnostic test and they said yep! we can do that bring him back at 1 and we'll check it out for ya! Sweet, I'm on my way to getting this figured out. I call Ryan to inform him of what is going on and just as he answered I turned the key, car started and BAM 3 seconds later, it was off. I immediately begin to bawl, enter Gunnell's tell them Diego is just going to have to stay there, I sat in Gunnell's for 20 minutes, bawling...in case you were wondering. As I await the dreaded test results of my poor 1989 Honda Accord, I have the new dilemma of how the heck I'm going to buy a car...

But don't you fret (katie, this is for you)...Tia Rosa's for dinner made it a little bit better. Not to mention my Birthday Fried Ice Cream drenched in delicious strawberry sauce that I was able to enjoy. Didn't even think about Diego ONCE during my dessert!!

Also, I bought a new dress. So what if I'm and emotional shopper?? haha

I like food, so what?!

Tomatillo Salsa-SUCCESS!!!
So, today (which happens to be a Monday, which happens to be a day that Tia Rosa's is closed) I really wanted some freakin delicious sweet green salsa! SO----I was given no other choice than to make it! I looked at a couple recipes then made mine up, and it turned out pretty dang good :) With some fresh tomatillos, a fresh jalapeno (17 cents, in case you were wondering), some fresh cilantro from my back yard, a fresh lime, and some salt and garlic and the great spinning of a blending, I made a sweet mixture of green/mexican deliciousness. MUY DELICIOSO! Since I boiled my tomatillos to soften em up (next time I'm going to try broiling them in the oven) I have to wait to eat my salsa because I don't like my salsa warm...so as I sit here waiting for my salsa to cool down, all I can think about is the fastest way I can get the deliciousness in my BELLY!

This could very well turn into a food blog. I have a new obsession with making things from scratch and enjoying them. Some stuff has totally worked out...some has not :) Live and learn

So, enjoy Monday, make something delicious and eat it! Yum!!!
