Chocolate Thighs

After a rather lengthy and thorough investigation of our candy jar at work, I've decided that mini twixes are far superior to all other mini chocolates. I may or may not have picked out every single one (over a VERY lengthy period of time, ahem) out of a three pound mix of candy. It's been a productive week. At least, my thighs seem to think so.

Glory Glory Hallelujah

These crazies returned to Provo yesterday after a four month hiatus in Vegas. I don't think I have laughed so hard or had such a rush of caloric intake since they left. Sweet, sweet angels from heaven..

AND..this little crazy will return TODAY from CA. I can't wait for another semester of sociological theory and wheezing up the steps from hell with her.

As long as they don't play "beer for my horses" anymore, our friendship will remain intact. That's a threat, by the way. Much love.

Copycat

I'm pretty sure I wore an outfit almost identical to this a few weeks ago. Is Banana stalking my facebook? And, more importantly, does this mean that my wardrobe has some relevance in the fashion world? My life has so much meaning.

You should probably....

..come with me to Salt Lake tomorrow to see Ms. Neko Case. For Free. Delicious food vendors everywhere. Hippies in abundance. All good things.

Forget New Year's

New school year, new resolve to do the following:

1) Be myself,whatever that may mean

2) Buy produce from stands on the side of the road

3) Limit cereal intake to a bowl a week (ahem)

4) Experience all that Utah has to offer in fall, even if it means cliche, nerdy activities-corn maze anyone?

5) Write my papers before the morning that they are due

6) Buy my first beanie since moving to Utah three years ago so as to avoid frostbite of the head

7) Read books under trees with caramel apple cider in hand

8) End self-deprecation-not good for the soul

9) Buy all necessary yoga accoutrement to theoretically up my attendance to three times a week

9) Plan my life. Daily Nashville Craigslist checks seem to make me feel productive, for now

10) Be happy with where I am and what I could do in the future

Wait, what did he just say?

Last night on The Hills, while discussing the ill feelings between Speidi and Lauren, Spencer said the following:


"It’s like trying to tell Iran and Israel to get along. It’s not gonna happen."

Wait, seriously? Did that just come out of your mouth? Did you just make a comparison between Middle Eastern violence and your manufactured shallow drama? You've reached a new low, le douche.

Catch it with a mason jar....

My favorite way to display flowers. Now, if only I could afford the flowers....or the mason jar.

Photograph this

So roomie Zaida left me for the weekend (please see previous post). Living by myself apparently results in insanity....good to know. Anyway, this got me thinking, Zaida is pretty cool and prone to accepting bribes..so maybe I should advertise for her and she'll come back and save my poor, lonely mind.

She is a photographer, and she can meet all of your photography needs. Including:

Sittin on truck photos
Family photos...but not with my dad..

Castle Bond-like photos
OR....Southern Utah scenery photos..my personal favorite..

If Zaida books one sitting as a direct result of this blog, I bet she will be my friend again. I'm 90% sure that she will accept Del Taco churros as payment. Thanks for your concern.

My weekend in a pathetic little nutshell...

Not kidding. Not even a little bit.

LC's Crib

Regardless of my feelings on little Lauren, she has fabulous clothes..and, more importantly, a FABULOUS house.

They never pan the rooms on the show enough to get a great view, but that's what this precious little linked slide show is for. If/when/tomorrow when I buy this house, I wouldn't change the decor a bit. Gorgeous. Also, since it gives the address, do you think little Laur Laur will mind a Courtney drop-in? Wait, that's creepy? I guess I could settle for a few pictures...

Pictorial Proof

This was taken Thursday morning. All is well in the world of celebrity romance. Don't worry, it's nine o'clock on a Friday night. I'll go out later.....

MR. A-Z

Mr. Jason Mraz has been singing me to sleep with "Sleeping to Dream" every night for the past few weeks. While it can't be measured accurately, I'm fairly sure I've been waking up happier in direct response to this song. Feel free to test it out yourself.

Fall Fashion-Sweater Edition

As we head into my favorite season of clothes, I am going to pose this or that options of all of the basics that come with changing leaves and pencil shavings. I love fall..be prepared. First up, the sweater.


ON and GAP=$88.44 and some Cafe Rio

OR

Anthro=$98.00 and Ramen


While it would temporarily make me feel a little sick spending $100.00 on a sweater, it's unique, and would last me longer, unlike the other options. Round one goes to less is more.

It must be said...

..that Gwen done lost her mind
Remember my documented excitement over this second little bundle of joy?
Well, that was before I knew she was going to name her child Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale.

People provides an explanation for this tragedy of a name here. Zuma was most likely picked as a tribute to Zuma beach. I like a lot of beaches, but you don't see me naming my kid Oceanside or Carlsbad State beach. Nesta is a shout out to Bob Marley. How about we change that shout out to something more reasonable, like, say, Marley. I can handle that. Can't wait for this poor kid to go to kindergarten....

Shout out to miss jourdan for being an all-star blogger. I just had to express my feelings on the matter as well.

Well, well, well

I am very supportive of this union happening (again). Am I Creepy? Most definitely. But after watching the Notebook last weekend for the 200th time, I would just find it wrong if these crazy canucks didn't end up together. Shannon called me at 1 AM a few weeks ago to verify their (re)-union (one day my friends will call me to hang out and not just to use my pathetic celebrity encyclopia brain, one day-ha). Well, according to le People, we may still have hope Shan!

The Rundown:Episode 1

Things I learned during The Hills premiere tonight:


Le Douche. Still needs to shave flesh-colored facial growth. Nuff said.

Holly Montag will be this season's Stephanie Pratt. AKA Cling-on relative to pseudo fame. Next up, Audrina's skanky cousins!

Heidi is SO classy. She has a sweet boyfriend, a sweet bra, and a sweet manufactured face.

Frankie uses some serious volumizing mousse. He seems like one who would google his name..so Frankie Delgado. There ya go kid, you eat up your pseudo fame.

Whitney's sole purpose is to be a sounding board for Lauren. Give this girl her own show already. She is the classiest, most normal one on the show. Much love Whitney.

Audrina is SUCH a hipster. I mean, did you see her friend with the red mohawk and tattoos? I wonder how much MTV paid him to give her some SERIOUS street-cred. She rolls hard folks.

And, at the end of the day, our poor little Lauren has to handle all of these crazies, make sure Audrina's mohawked friend doesn't kill Lo, AND balance her endorsements for MARK and AT&T. The poor little lamb.....

I can make fun all I want...but I will still be watching every manufactured reality minute this season..jokes on me.

Looks like Gold

Due to my lack of a life...I give you...olympian celebrity look-a-likes:

Miss Johnson:

Mr. Phelps:

I got love for Phelps..but c'mon..it's pretty close.

Mr. Mchot Lochte:

Your wish is my command

Remember how I was whining a few months ago about Madewell's lack of online shopping....well, fear not, because it will be available at our little fingertips soon!

And I quote.."“I love Gossip Girl,” Conrad told E! Online. “I just love it. It’s so gossipy and superficial. It’s amazing.”

Oh, hey, thanks LC. Gossip Girl is...Gossipy?!..Let's work on your list of adjectives and, while we're at it, your lack of personality.

Day of Indulgence

Jennifer Klein throws an annual "Day of Indulgence" party at her home in CA- she invites all the pretty people, has massage, mani-pedi, make-up, and eyebrow stations, tons of clothing and jewelry vendors, and delicious food. I want to be a pretty person so that I can attend next year. Freaking Fabulous.

I spy Red Mango.

Getcha head in the game

Poor Tisdale doesn't get much attention in the new issue of Elle. Chin up Sharpe, you can always get another nose job..or you could give Efron your traincase of hair product and your tanning membership. Then, he would definitely pay more attention....

Mommy & Me

ON is on the up and up with these bell sleeve jackets for mom and daughter. Now all I need is the daughter. Or maybe Care and I could be matching?..just a thought
