I can't believe I'm going on a mission. I'm excited, but scared and I wish you all a very fond farewell.<br /><br />My MTC address is:<br />Sister Kristen Diane Smtih<br />Chile Santiago West Mission<br />Provo Missionary Training Center<br />2005 N. 900 E.<br />Provo, UT 84604<br /><br />And for the mission:<br />Sister Kristen Diane Smith<br />Chile Santiago West Mission<br />POB 30150<br />Salt Lake City, UT 84130-0510<br />(This is the pouch service. Only postcards and letters that are single sheet, folded into three panels, and taped at the top only, no envelopes.)<br /><br />and packages:<br />Sister Kristen Diane Smith<br />Chile Santiago West Mission<br />Pedro de Valdivia 1423<br />Providencia<br />29 Santiago 29<br />Chile<br /><br />"It's quite all right<br />and goodbye for now<br />just look up to the stars<br />and believe who you are<br />cuz it's quite all right<br />and so long, goodbye."Smithershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13189721191324167998noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856508532938160473.post-28971415687909316382008-07-16T22:00:00.001-07:002008-07-16T22:11:31.733-07:00Then and Now<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu6HR2n3mckrdNrYYevdKo3FpHZltwOLwAYnEp2PdeNQrcVG25D4DtJQGaksz2oHTw2C2BdMR2aiKlwBDXY0psgHbk3zNY55sSjne-1Z2cGD6Qo5rejpiGAGujDALwzoBFyaSgE9UfQPA/s1600-h/Work+Party+001.jpg"></a><br />After my sister-in-law ran a marathon in April, I decided that I wanted to run one after I get back from my mission. However, I am hugely fat. So my sister, Tara, has taken me under her wing and been my personal trainer since school got out at the end of April. We go to the gym together once a week and I try to go at least 3 or more times a week on top of that. I weigh in every Monday and this week, I am very proud to say, I have lost a grand total of 21 pounds! That's a large cat! So here is a picture of me in December:<br /><br /><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTqk0gXtJbbtRsauwdzn1_2jOwHN9I7o8J2wzv7ftBJD02BofVq1D89KfhIFcSc8gkUSh_S7y9elLUINiV0csMkhayjzRuT0dZNfHwffXwA4cyOIvoPj49fgQVlf7QAOu_KOs0pG-WJko/s1600-h/Work+Party+002.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223845580415280290" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTqk0gXtJbbtRsauwdzn1_2jOwHN9I7o8J2wzv7ftBJD02BofVq1D89KfhIFcSc8gkUSh_S7y9elLUINiV0csMkhayjzRuT0dZNfHwffXwA4cyOIvoPj49fgQVlf7QAOu_KOs0pG-WJko/s400/Work+Party+002.jpg" border="0" /></a> </p><p>In April:<br /></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinGcbFPcHI2wzQedbC-Yfc2HpS6tbwD7fW0NSMgL34aIqKKe8o470hfWMSVrH9-MgQ2KlZQtT8XHX8D1OUIPDAxAi2yOl13ZRW5sWyymDRHvhyphenhyphenlNIOnsHLYZUGYY_-19W3lNNGQa4xavs/s1600-h/Other+046.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223845581511589698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinGcbFPcHI2wzQedbC-Yfc2HpS6tbwD7fW0NSMgL34aIqKKe8o470hfWMSVrH9-MgQ2KlZQtT8XHX8D1OUIPDAxAi2yOl13ZRW5sWyymDRHvhyphenhyphenlNIOnsHLYZUGYY_-19W3lNNGQa4xavs/s400/Other+046.jpg" border="0" /></a> </p><p>And today, 21 pounds lighter:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJaD63J-wwPXg01Wx2sOwjYP0PYYemHhBF2RRZZXr7PJkDzsB7cZVgfjf06zatYSdedd_RHmB_zbENntn0hgfhRMGd9rui7PlNBIkY6IB6c-enNeQCfAqtGKCH6FaeptK7ndi1bmx_XWA/s1600-h/ME!!!+004.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223845588276818546" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJaD63J-wwPXg01Wx2sOwjYP0PYYemHhBF2RRZZXr7PJkDzsB7cZVgfjf06zatYSdedd_RHmB_zbENntn0hgfhRMGd9rui7PlNBIkY6IB6c-enNeQCfAqtGKCH6FaeptK7ndi1bmx_XWA/s400/ME!!!+004.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Woot!

I don't have the time I need to write everything <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">cuz</span> I've got dinner cooking on the stove and I should probably check on it before it fuses to the pan. But some moments of importance that have happened are:<br /><br />#1. Happy Birthday Angela and Gage!!!<br /><br />I know it's been like a month, but I just wanted to wish you both a happy birthday!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCTPqZ0h-HAdFERz4sToL44ttK-4f9huf2GIXmNJkwkiu_t5ogozwZ9X5wf3AivCHD7K4wcVjYKVa4Cay2LZm0uYyWzlazuDtJtrUtFIekHWlk1wfriZXIpRm81SkFbwKMEAi__t_-_Ao/s1600-h/mariners+006.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212350277465382370" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCTPqZ0h-HAdFERz4sToL44ttK-4f9huf2GIXmNJkwkiu_t5ogozwZ9X5wf3AivCHD7K4wcVjYKVa4Cay2LZm0uYyWzlazuDtJtrUtFIekHWlk1wfriZXIpRm81SkFbwKMEAi__t_-_Ao/s400/mariners+006.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />#2.

I'm it!This weekend has been crazy! I've studied my brains out for finals. I must have studied 10 or 12 hours alone just for my trig final. At this point, I don't even care anymore. All I have left to do is read my scriptures, say my prayers, and hope for divine intervention. I always freak myself out before finals, but then I end up doing okay. This is the most I've ever studied for them and I just hope I can remember all the crap that I'm supposed to.<br /><br /><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Anyhew</span>, Cowgirl tagged me, so here are six weird things about me and the five people I want to find six weird things about:<br /><br /><br />1. I can't tell my right from my left. Honestly. Unless I am driving. It really takes me a couple minutes to try and figure it out and then there is still a 50% chance that I am wrong.<br /><br /><br />2. I wish life were a musical. You know how sometimes you stop and think to yourself, "It would be perfect if this song was playing right now?" I feel like that all the time.<br /><br /><br />3. I have my outfit picked out for the marathon I want to run in three years. My sister-in-law ran the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">SLC</span> marathon this weekend, and now I kind of really want to run one as well. I want to wear a black tank top that says "I do it the Gerard Way" and fluorescent green shorts.<br /><br /><br />4. I really want to dye my hair like this (not the cut, just the dye job. I love my long hair) :<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5191575204227057602" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO98H9fZVONGpGiQ0PXdH5JPGMLlMvNJjn08gnw8V1ksYf6Wa_bglEB53GvQjkjB_ZKQBVQdgQOlkrFascWgsHHJKrunHzuG62xZ7m26EuhxaSZp_BNT1o-Z2UUylMckLoCp9APaqrOKI/s320/orig-1369671.jpg" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5191906090899690690" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgNhn_elR5qnF0phb1rV51YB2jDxkjPDVH08d18k7yEzwLGBbYhFYbh46P9BN1bi0GQ4UYArDuJhhVvRRjg8URbH792fc6_fS82ZWRf3tepzhta4WTS3T0g4Y1tkm8rMCwV5mfAXTOGDM/s320/gway+again.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><p>Black with orange-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">ish</span>/<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">blonde</span> on top. I think it would be way cute. And another tribute to my fave lead singer. Ha!<br /></p><p>5. I want to serve my mission in New Jersey. It's been my lifelong goal to teach Jon <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Bon</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Jovi</span>. (and now Gerard Way!)<br /></p><p>6. I have a Britney Spears song on my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">iPod</span>! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">AGGGHHH</span>! Don't worry. It's a Christmas song off a multi-artist CD. It's actually pretty good.<br /></p><p>Well, that's weirdo me. I therefore tag: <strong><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;">Angela, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Kimm</span>, Lisa, Chelsea, & Natalie</span></strong>.<br /></p><p>Whew! Well, I should really get back to studying. Wish me luck with finals and hope that I see <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">emo</span> kid again! I was gonna give him my number last week, but I never saw him. If I don't see him this week, I may never see him again! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Aggh</span>! I'm in love with a boy and I don't even know his name! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Haha</span>!</p>Smithershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13189721191324167998noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856508532938160473.post-49403269178752042832008-04-16T21:27:00.001-07:002008-04-16T21:37:10.534-07:00My Other #1 Reason I'm Excited It's April...<span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff99ff;"><strong>ANGELA-FACE IS COMING!!!!</strong></span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">My sister-in-law is flying in tomorrow!

Paramore was so good! Hayley got the audience going and she was running around the stage headbanging. And then the guitarists backflipped over each other!!! It was so awesome!<br /><br />Jimmy Eat World was really good too. They went straight from song to song without skipping a beat. It was a really good concert.

We were all running a little behind. :) I had the lady at the MAC counter do my eyes and I looked awesome. I found a really cute black shirt at Target and wore that with my hat and my skull sneakers and black bracelet and necklace. Black nail polish completed the ensemble. I didn't end up dying my hair. I was going to see if they had some black hairspray at Hot Topic, but I didn't have time. It took a long time to do my eyes.<br /><br />We got to SaltAir 45 minutes before the doors opened and then we were in line for another 45 minutes after that! We all had to pee really bad so we headed straight to the bathrooms after we got inside. K. That place is a dump. It's called "The Cursed Palace" because it's burned down at least two times and was flooded once when the Great Salt Lake rose. Here are some pictures of the outside:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpQy5UzxKYi-bDFrrxBIU_Uy3zmnaXjFn8JeYzK7LnbXJnjM-OA28aJ1nY3u4miC4e90R4GfpdXLETOzOhdBbnOE9j5MDwJj54Z5ONShSl0o1dq4TIQbI17F9Halg_O4df8Xu5m2xjRyo/s1600-h/UTSALsaltair_deussen.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188585695941785650" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpQy5UzxKYi-bDFrrxBIU_Uy3zmnaXjFn8JeYzK7LnbXJnjM-OA28aJ1nY3u4miC4e90R4GfpdXLETOzOhdBbnOE9j5MDwJj54Z5ONShSl0o1dq4TIQbI17F9Halg_O4df8Xu5m2xjRyo/s400/UTSALsaltair_deussen.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2C58x2s5pn6neInNoRyZIiOOePkhdDX5QleaXDp6wCsIDs9GxBSFcQznWYwR6so4iqffKn3R9XzD6K1i98b0HNriOmRS1VsCWJqAZk55pC9dySDkUztHDwOzaD-Htx4ExoXwOcDAB_rs/s1600-h/UTSALsaltair.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188585700236752962" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2C58x2s5pn6neInNoRyZIiOOePkhdDX5QleaXDp6wCsIDs9GxBSFcQznWYwR6so4iqffKn3R9XzD6K1i98b0HNriOmRS1VsCWJqAZk55pC9dySDkUztHDwOzaD-Htx4ExoXwOcDAB_rs/s400/UTSALsaltair.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />And this is what the inside looks like, minus the stagecoaches in the middle. And everything was painted black. The stage is to the left and the bathrooms are to the right. The bar is up the stairs.<br /><br /><p><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/6/65/Saltair-2002-interior-MCB.jpg/300px-Saltair-2002-interior-MCB.jpg" border="0" />Back to the bathrooms. I wouldn't be surprised if we all caught hepatitis in those things. They were disgusting! Yuck!! During the concert Gerard said that this was one of the most beautiful place they've played at. I'm guessing they had a much better bathroom than we did. :)</p><p></p><p>Drive By opened up and they were amazing! I'm still kicking myself for not getting their CD and having them sign it. The second opening act was Billy Talent. Not so much a fan of him. But he did get some good energy going. I thought it was cute when he said "If someone falls down you help them up. Gentlemen, take care of the ladies!!"</p><p></p><p>During the interim between Billy Talent and MCR we met this kid from Idaho and he was roasting in his sweatshirt. He had it pulled halfway over his head when MCR came out and everyone went NUTS!! So there's this poor kid who is getting crushed and can't see anything. It was kinda funny.</p><p></p><p>This concert was a lot different than last year's. I was so excited for flames and the giant balloons full of confetti that would burst, but when I saw the stage I was like "Yeah, there's no way they can get flames going on that stage." Gerard even said they cut their budget way back for this tour. But it was so AMAZING. They just rocked out all night long. Along with tracks from Black Parade and Three Cheers, they played stuff from Bullets, two B-sides (yay!) and a couple songs I've never heard before. One of them was called Desecration Road. </p><p></p><p>It was sooooo much fun. The crowd was really good too. Way better than OneRepublic, although they had to tell people not to throw punches during the opening act. There were a few mosh pits, but we were never in one of them, well except for Megan, but that was an accident. She went to sit on the side of the room for a little while, but when MCR came out she got shoved to the very front of the stage. It was so hot in there that she passed out and hit her head. She fell into a mosh pit and some jerkface stepped on her arm. But some guy pulled her out and she went to the EMT room. She's okay though. She got a blue hospital glove for a souvenir. We found her and totally rocked out for the last song of the night, HELENA!!! That's her song!!! And we were by this back hallway and saw the boys go to their room. It was cool.</p><p></p><p>It was a nice small venue. We got way close and didn't get crushed! It was amazing! Like ten feet from the stage. I could almost see the sweat dripping off their faces! Some kid kept grabbing my arm. I wanted to knock him over, the little dweeb. When we were on the other side of the room there was this kid behind me that knocked my hat over my eyes. Ha! I couldn't see at all. But he situated it back on my head and then patted it down. It was hilarious. </p><p></p><p>It was an incredible show. It was so hot in there. When we all got in the car the windows all fogged up cause we were so hot. It took forever to get out of the parking lot. But luckily some guy came around selling shirts because I totally forgot to get one inside!<br /></p>I'm still super exhausted. It's a workout! All that jumping up and down. I still have ringing in my ears, but I'm not as hoarse anymore. Ha! When I went to the staff meeting this morning they all said I looked hungover cause I was super tired and had my sunglasses on and sat in the corner. But I still had a slight headache and didn't want those bright lights making it worse.<br /><br />It was such a fun show! I only wish I could've taken a camera in. Oh well. Here's a video of them jamming when Gerard was blond.

However, I got my shirt today and part of it is <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">misspelled</span>! Instead of saying "you want him, you gotta go through me" it says "you want him you gotta go THREW me." Just, you know, a minor mishap. I was a little worried about how it would fit and it actually fits great expect that it's a guy's shirt so the sleeves are forever long and it just looks kinda boxy. I thought about keeping it as maybe a pajama shirt, but I think I'm just gonna send it back. :( I did find that other t-shirt at Hot Topic, but all they had left was an extra small. I may just have to wear a black shirt with my incredible hat. I have a three-quarter length shirt I might wear. I'm kind of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">leery</span> about wearing just a t-shirt because of the Relief Society-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">ness</span></span> of my arms. No <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">bueno</span></span> when one is jumping up and down.<br /><br /><br /><br />DISCLAIMER: I really don't like posting pictures of myself because of my big fat face, but Chelsea wants a picture of me in my awesome hat. I hope you all treasure this because it is a once in a lifetime experience:<br /><br /><br /><br />This is me with my hair in straightened pigtails. It looks better when it's down. But gotta love the hat.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuBhDnYly3xPuC3-tgxSVHbmKem4btbUaLFeJ6zrv7E6Mii0RRNxFa_nGU_2zs0VAhY5XxS89kYjmrAHXmVRu9uzB0YAHzGrRQJXZzlM5d5JyEn5xrjDOA14VI6TQfWj9B3ihcsD3DqQg/s1600-h/100_3690.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187464855231779570" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuBhDnYly3xPuC3-tgxSVHbmKem4btbUaLFeJ6zrv7E6Mii0RRNxFa_nGU_2zs0VAhY5XxS89kYjmrAHXmVRu9uzB0YAHzGrRQJXZzlM5d5JyEn5xrjDOA14VI6TQfWj9B3ihcsD3DqQg/s320/100_3690.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />This one is of me with curly-haired pigtails and my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">misspelled</span></span> shirt.<br /><br /><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYcUy96tv-ss_ke8Ify5jRpnYpcP5qIHq131ioaULkhBUMuXSPfasT4fKptUh6461WQRcPT_0SO2FlEsEa7vrQ30z7WzLCZ3nvyoIB7Gsux4kEE0whpYFc6ncWqn4jrFwTKOxIraoMYfI/s1600-h/100_3696.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187464863821714178" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYcUy96tv-ss_ke8Ify5jRpnYpcP5qIHq131ioaULkhBUMuXSPfasT4fKptUh6461WQRcPT_0SO2FlEsEa7vrQ30z7WzLCZ3nvyoIB7Gsux4kEE0whpYFc6ncWqn4jrFwTKOxIraoMYfI/s320/100_3696.JPG" border="0" /></a> </p><br /><p></p><br /><p>Maybe I'll just wear my Budweiser cowboy hat. <em>That </em>won't get me beat up....<br /></p><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCs8MNZjHt0eQVe1KJNtPiPkomQRd7AkvQewgkcwelQmrYv0oGiBNmse0Dj0qx4qhVVEHbpwWdddug1LKGqyOSWZRTM16HOKEj-gUB_Snnq-aDIXTVr10jVgN0UQ8DeKnaVziHaCjcHME/s1600-h/100_3700.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187464868116681490" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCs8MNZjHt0eQVe1KJNtPiPkomQRd7AkvQewgkcwelQmrYv0oGiBNmse0Dj0qx4qhVVEHbpwWdddug1LKGqyOSWZRTM16HOKEj-gUB_Snnq-aDIXTVr10jVgN0UQ8DeKnaVziHaCjcHME/s320/100_3700.JPG" border="0" /></a> </p><br /><p></p><br /><p>...I'll just glare at them like this all saucy-like.<br /></p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBfORG7e9C7dhO6HEijpAD6CW1uWHCOXgWV1PA0eXL-aEJDaSX1SOpp4Fia-vRZkYY0_1VLW-d9RupEV-jD7ti22t49_yywqtq7_HBMnn2drQ81HSJOCxvJARsYZKBvXvlhyVkCP-fS78/s1600-h/100_3701.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187464872411648802" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBfORG7e9C7dhO6HEijpAD6CW1uWHCOXgWV1PA0eXL-aEJDaSX1SOpp4Fia-vRZkYY0_1VLW-d9RupEV-jD7ti22t49_yywqtq7_HBMnn2drQ81HSJOCxvJARsYZKBvXvlhyVkCP-fS78/s320/100_3701.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />And here is a picture of Snowflake listening to General Conference on the radio.

It's here!My hat came in the mail on Saturday! I was so excited. Of course my entire family mocks it, but I don't care. I LOVE it. I wore it all day. I even wore it with the tags on for like three hours because I was so excited to get it that I forgot to take them off! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Haha</span>. Whoops!<br /><br /><br /><br />Sad news! Yesterday I was <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">vacuuming</span> underneath the cupboards in the kitchen and I got this sharp pain in my hand. Yeah, I got like a three inch sliver STUCK in my hand. I did get it out though. It was surprisingly really painful. I just hope I don't get an infection. I've been having bad luck lately with minor injuries. :) Last week I went to get something out of a cupboard and caught my finger on a nail that was protruding out of it. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Ouchy</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Pouchy</span>!

It's got 11 or 12 different parts where the band answers questions from fans. This one is my favorite. They make so much fun of Mikey. Poor kid! I love Bob's little contribution at the end.

I think he is absolutely adorable and I still see him all the time at school. Maybe I should talk to him. . . . <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMWl2CmUA6nMTtPu859-xagU_UX0P1by9TupFuZvYJpljLq5XY2D7RYsxerNtHJXX9XoTBTfHD7v_xgSPExE1GJVg0Bz-MuXrkGjzHn8eUT3cH7kbZF3a25KBpd2ww9_B1vI-6r9nCzLw/s1600-h/Emo+Eggs+006.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183741289721615026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMWl2CmUA6nMTtPu859-xagU_UX0P1by9TupFuZvYJpljLq5XY2D7RYsxerNtHJXX9XoTBTfHD7v_xgSPExE1GJVg0Bz-MuXrkGjzHn8eUT3cH7kbZF3a25KBpd2ww9_B1vI-6r9nCzLw/s400/Emo+Eggs+006.jpg" border="0" /></a> </p><p>And of course, one for Gerard.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn-JkTcra1a9E-fTM_QGBXPkXNpEtMKuVpsrxG2CV2JX1p9oceq0_9Cf1_UhdLRunc5DUAkyfEdKmtCiOVrFzLHi1n8Je8GXJuJ9jt2-sbqmJxkVnYAnN0wBgEIdKqpCmARojiypQQYG8/s1600-h/Emo+Eggs+008.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183741298311549634" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn-JkTcra1a9E-fTM_QGBXPkXNpEtMKuVpsrxG2CV2JX1p9oceq0_9Cf1_UhdLRunc5DUAkyfEdKmtCiOVrFzLHi1n8Je8GXJuJ9jt2-sbqmJxkVnYAnN0wBgEIdKqpCmARojiypQQYG8/s400/Emo+Eggs+008.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:180%;color:#3333ff;">Shaundawg Breaks Her Foot</span></p><p></p><p>So Tuesday, Shaundawg slipped on a dress at work and broke her foot. They didn't know if she needed surgery or not, so they didn't cast just yet. Well, I was playing around with her crutches and whilst I was doing so I jumped on the couch. I had slippers on and totally fell backwards, like flying through the air. And my head landed right on Shaundawg's (uncast) foot. I felt so awful. Even though the screw from the crutches had left a small gash on my wrist, I was so worried about my mom I didn't even care. However, when she went into the doctor, he looked at her first x-ray and said she would definitely need surgery, but he decided to take another x-ray just to be sure. The second one looked better than the first. Yeah, my head had straightened out her foot. I just have a miracle noggin.</p><p></p><p></p><p>The heater in our house wasn't functioning so we put one of my fuzzy socks over mom's cast so her toes wouldn't freeze off.</p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh6TTwPPfgjdnHR3Nz7honwC-yk9yhdr0BGlt1ujo9E4WmgupQyPLLpwI7kg3EdARfgZRsRFOVVai2IzRsZsJMB4oOotld-hJ1i_90MHvRW0B_o_5aYh0Jv9Io9tlIv6M0PGm0m7o7yhU/s1600-h/Shaundawg+Breaks+Her+Foot+001.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183739193777574450" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh6TTwPPfgjdnHR3Nz7honwC-yk9yhdr0BGlt1ujo9E4WmgupQyPLLpwI7kg3EdARfgZRsRFOVVai2IzRsZsJMB4oOotld-hJ1i_90MHvRW0B_o_5aYh0Jv9Io9tlIv6M0PGm0m7o7yhU/s400/Shaundawg+Breaks+Her+Foot+001.jpg" border="0" /></a> </p><p><br />Snowflake taking advantage of the fact that Shaundawg can't hobble up the stairs to her bed. </p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK6KZVRV4rt7C2Um9P0L3wHX9BkAZAcASLeOhCwxyFmnaV7WWMhYrt-h2J5J9UaCtUyKrsQEJTFqnVzD3Q6dK3g1hhwfVlXfVC-AyH_81qap8Gb4Oi9MY_vXsQb6RePplLzk5ue0HSj9k/s1600-h/Shaundawg+Breaks+Her+Foot+002.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183739198072541762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK6KZVRV4rt7C2Um9P0L3wHX9BkAZAcASLeOhCwxyFmnaV7WWMhYrt-h2J5J9UaCtUyKrsQEJTFqnVzD3Q6dK3g1hhwfVlXfVC-AyH_81qap8Gb4Oi9MY_vXsQb6RePplLzk5ue0HSj9k/s400/Shaundawg+Breaks+Her+Foot+002.jpg" border="0" /></a> </p><p></p><p><span style="color:#cc0000;"><span style="font-size:180%;">12 More Days!!!</span></span></p><p><span style="color:#cc0000;"><span style="color:#000000;">Less than two weeks to the greatest show ever!!!

It is sooooooo sloooooooow! I have to watch a two-part episode of Dateline for my accounting class and then write a paper on it. It's only like an hour and a half long, but my internet is so slow that I'm not even through the first part, and it's been two hours. And I also have two tests to study for. :( I think I'll be okay though. I am so tired. I was at work forever on Saturday and my legs were killing me from running around the store, so I just crashed on my couch. I haven't gotten any homework done, although I did sort of study for one of my tests cuz I typed up some notes for one of my classes and e-mailed them to my friend who had missed a couple days because she has been way sick. So I didn't totally waste my entire night.<br /><br />I have got to get some sleep though. I keep nodding off in classes! It's way bad because one of my professors is my old bishop! Yikes! I don't mean to fall asleep. It just happens. I need like an IV of Full Throttle to get me through the day. Things should start to get better this week though. I got a promotion at Allyse's! I don't have to reception anymore, so I can pretty much pick my own hours. This will also be my last week at my other job in Mapleton. It'll be so nice not having to work two jobs anymore. Especially since I no longer have a car. Makes it hard to commute when I have to borrow my mother's car. But what hurts the most is filling that baby with gas. It's like a sucker punch to the stomach.<br /><br />I have so much to do! I can't wait for tomorrow to be over. I'm pretty sure I'm only gonna get 3-4 hours of sleep tonight. The first three days of last week I got a grand total of 10 hours of sleep. I'm hoping to not repeat that pattern.<br /><br />Well, I better get to work. But first! my iPod picks for this week. These are all about a certain someone whom i love/hate. I had to go a little country on this one:<br /><br />"What Hurts the Most" - Rascal Flatts<br />"Teardrops on My Guitar" - Taylor Swift<br />"We are Broken" - Paramore<br />"Umbrella" - Rihanna<br />"My Happy Ending" - Avril Lavigne<br />"I Don't Love You" - My Chemical Romance<br />"It's a Heartache" - Bonnie Tyler<br />"Over You" - Daughtry<br />"Don't Know What You Got Til It's Gone" - Cinderella<br />"Almost Lover" - A Fine Frenzy<br />"Hurt" - Johnny Cash<br />"Smile Like You Mean It" - The Killers<br />"I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" - My Chemical RomanceSmithershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13189721191324167998noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856508532938160473.post-56554132016738217092008-02-15T17:37:00.000-08:002008-04-14T16:23:52.123-07:00Best News Ever!!!So I get this e-mail today from the MCR website and they added some U.S. tour dates after their tour in Asia.

James Blunt is going to be performing at the Moore Theater and oh how I wish I could go! He has no tour date for Utah; the closest venue is in Las Vegas this Friday. It's official: I need to live in Seattle. They have the best concerts and the gloomiest weather. It's totally my scene. Even though I probably won't ever see James live, I can still watch his videos!<br /><br /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/A7Cd5LwV6eg&rel=" width="425" height="355" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent"></embed>Smithershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13189721191324167998noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856508532938160473.post-67806991711425889752008-01-31T18:16:00.000-08:002008-01-31T18:20:16.593-08:00One More Reason Why I Love Gerard!This a quote from Gerard Way that I absolutely love!
