Coincidence?

Remi Mae sent me this text the other day... CRAZY!

The words followed: ok so we are at toys are us and we looked at these cabbage patch dolls and their names are lavon and dorthy mom and i laughed really hard! :) what a quincidence!

*For any of you confused as to why this is funny - my Grandparents names are Von and Dorothy!! 

Dang It.

(pretend right now that I am studying and not blogging)

And then, read this dumb story...

I work in Spanish Fork. And I have the best job ever. Anyway, today I was driving back to Provo after working, and getting some good eats (wow, saying that makes me miss Megan, Bethany and Craig all at once) at Berry's. What is dumb about this story? The part where I got LOST coming back to Provo. I guess any of you that have ever been in a car with me behind the wheel, know that I am terrible at directions. But, I HAVE MADE THIS DRIVE BEFORE! ... more than once. (too embarrassed to say how many times). Pathetic. That is the only word I can sum this all up with.

Home

HOME is wonderful. The part where I do no homework - not so good.

I have some great things to blog about - but they will have to wait until I catch up.

I know I have you at the edge of your seat... sorry. Just wish me luck on my two tests this week.

Sisters!

SO glad to be home and reunited with the sisters!

We haven't stopped laughing since we got here.

Oh How I Love...

OH how I LOVE these girls...

AND Oh how I LOVE this...

When those two girls LAUGH late at night, since the only thing dividing us is a (not so) soundproof cinderblock wall.

:)

Hugs

I found this article to be quite funny - and a little interesting too....

Here is a little taste of it...

(A good example of a type of hug - the falling over laughing hug)

Keep Breathing

So, tonight I'm obsessed with this song. The music. The lyrics. Everything.

Listen, love, enjoy.

KEEP BREATHING

The storm is coming but i don't mind.

People are dying, i close my blinds.

All that i know is i'm breathing now.

I want to change the world...instead i sleep.

I want to believe in more than you and me.

But all that i know is i'm breathing.

All i can do is keep breathing.

All we can do is keep breathing now.

All that i know is i'm breathing.

All i can do is keep breathing.

All we can do is keep breathing now.

All we can do is keep breathing

All we can do is keep breathing

All we can do is keep breathing

All we can do is keep breathing.

All we can do is keep breathing now.

Talent Show

tonight, we performed in the ward talent show. (we being me and my wonderful homegirls/roommates). don't you fret, i will post the video sometime real soon.

Isn't it funny?

Isn't it funny how you can know someone for almost TWO years. and yet... they know nothing about you.

Isn't it funny when you make your intentions SO CLEAR. and yet... that same person can NOT pick up on a tiny hint.

Isn't it funny that someone can make you SO MAD and that same person can have NO IDEA.

Isn't it funny how you can put SO MUCH time and effort into loving someone... and in TWO SECONDS they can make it seem like a big FAT waste of your time.

Isn't it funny how worked up you can get over something that shouldn't be a big deal, but it is because it is a repeated problem.

Isn't if funny that you can care SO MUCH more than another person, and they can be affected ZERO and to you it can make all the difference in the world...

Funny right?

To My Future Husband...

If you sprinkle when you tinkle, please be a sweetie and wipe the seatie.

Love, Ali

Cranberry Juice and Scorpians

Tonight Chase and I decided to run to get some Taco Bell and then stop at a gas station for drinks. This is a list of things I learned from the experience.

1. Cranberry Juice is SO SO SO good. Easily my favorite drink. Yum.

2. Don't diss on scorpion suckers. I did. Bad idea. The guy at the cash register was not happy about that. Interrogated me on my experience with them. Didn't approve. And then I was quickly lectured on how good they are. Let's be honest - karo syrup covered scorpions on a stick? SICK.

3. Lastly - I found out that it is REALLY easy to laugh, when I am in a good mood. There was a guy walking his dog .. sort of. I got a good minute long laugh out of the part where the guy was actually tugging because the dog felt like that was a good place to sit.

It was really quite an eventful trip.

OH and did I mention the part where I AM SO HAPPY/LUCKY to be with the fam? Because I am.

My Father's Birthday...

So.. yesterday my father turned.. not very old :) AND today I got to drive down to Saint George to spend the weekend with the family! WOOHOO. We had dinner tonight with all seven of us (plus Jordan's parents) and it was wonderful. We have not been together since CHRISTMAS! And I loved every minute of it.

Back to the reason for this post.. A BIRTHDAY!

Mostly this is to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!! I can't even imagine/dream/wish for a more wonderful person to be my dad than YOU! I hope your day was spectacular!

.... Here is the present I made him ...

Oh did I mention that I my dad was really handsome too? Well... He is.

ONE more time HAPPPPPY BIRTHDAY DADDIO!

Out of the Oridnary

Lately, I've been thinking deeper than usual. Why? There are various reasons, but I feel like I am learning a lot more by spending my free time (walking to class and before I sleep basically) thinking.

These monologue by Kay Panabaker in the 2009 production of FAME is what has been on my mind today.

I think it is one of my favorite quotes I heard in the year 2009.

(cheesy, yet I love it)

“There are a few things that Success is not…

Success is not fame, money or power

Success is waking up in the morning so excited about what you have to do that you literally FLY out of the door

Success is getting to work with the people you love

Success is finding a way of connecting and binding them together

Success is connecting with the world

Success is falling asleep knowing you did the best you could

Success is joy, friendship and freedom

Success is LOVE”

X-Axis

In reference to a human body.

Joseph - I hope you are symmetrical around the y-axis.

Neo - What if you were symmetrical around the x-axis, now that would be a real butt head.

hahaha. love math.

Cute

So cute.

Today Remi asked me what I had done.

My response was

Went to class.

Went to the math lab.

Ate lunch.

Went to class.

Went to the math lab.

Remi's response,

What the heck is the math lab? Please don't tell me you dissect numbers.

Haha, so cute. Love her.

Art Saved The Day...

So, before you read this post... If you haven't read my post entitled LUCK. click here and read that first.

Anyway, today while I was sitting in my Humanities class studying some artists, I was doodling at the same time. I was really enjoying myself. I love art, I loving learning about art, and I love drawing. So I started thinking... Lately I have really been contemplating a minor. I seriously want one. Art has been in my top four choices. So I thought I might as well, right then and there, re-look at the requirements for an art minor again.

...

Before I took out my computer, I realized how disrespectful that would be to look that up in the middle of a well prepared lecture. So, I thought I should probably be more sneaky about it. So I went to take out my ipod to do it on there.

To my complete dismay it was NOT in my backpack. I panicked. Thinking through my day, I realized the only placed I could have left it was the library. The LIBRARY! Seriously - probably the most occupied building on campus. Even worse, the only place I had been in the library was the Periodicals! (the place where I swear EVERYONE is).

With a sick feeling in my stomach, I jolted out of class and ran to the library. Only to FIND my ipod wedged between the seat cushion in the chair I had been sitting in. I quickly slipped back into class with a huge, relieved smile on my face.

How. Lucky.

SOOO - I will not be giving up on this blog - BUT for a class assignment - I get to start a new one as well! Feel free to follow mathematicalispeaking.blogspot.com if you would like!

LUCK.

So I feel ridiculously lucky this morning. Why? ... This is why.

Last night I lost my ipod touch (side note - I got it for Christmas). I didn't realize it until this morning though.

Well, when I couldn't find it any where in the house, I panicked.

So I started retracing my steps.

I hadn't really done anything last night except go to Scotty's Drive In with the family, and then I went over to Shelby's house. I looked both my mom's car and my car clean through.

I searched my house over from top to bottom like ... mmmm ... ten times! I called Shelby and had her on the hunt through her entire house. Nothing. My last idea, call Scotty's. The man that answered the phone was real nice - but no luck. My mom told me I should still go look at Scotty's anyway. So I did.

HOW LUCKY CAN ONE PERSON BE?

My ipod was IN THE PARKING LOT. UNDER a car. Snow Covered.

I CRAWLED under the car and grabbed it. IT STILL WORKS!

Seriously. Lucky.

Christmas! - and the events leading up to it!

I love love Christmas - the best part? FAMILY!
