sexy momma came to visit.


Which is one thing that is pretty awesome about living 1 hour away from home. 
We talked in my bed,  went to the art museum and I showed her how cool the library is. We had lunch and did some shopping. 

5 more days until Finals are over and I go home for Christmas.

Isn't it crazy...

The impact that our parents have on us? I seriously think I would be a crazy drunk hobo without my adorable parents. I love my mom and dad. They are really 2 of the best people that have ever lived on this planet. I'm so glad that they met each other, fell in love and had oneheckofa daughter. And four really cool sons.

the other half of yesterdays post

I have to write about the last four things on yesterdays outline or I'll never do it. And for the record, I will never be as funny as Jane. Har Har. Seriously her last two posts have had me (whats a really clever way to say laughing so hard my stomach hurt?) laughing really hard. Jane, I really miss you... like... You're on the list of the top 5 things I miss about Bountiful. LUVS! (hopefully no one takes that seriously. I don't say LUVS! thats disgusting)

4. Being comfortable
5. Messy ponytail
6. Best Christmas album
7. Old-ness

4. If girls are wearing super fashionable clothes and they are pulling and pushing and fixing their clothes all the time, I want to hurt them. The cutest thing is when you have cute clothes and you're comfortable in them. Also... If you are a normal, maybe slightly awkward girl and you feel like boys people will like you more if you wear a shorter skirt or a tighter/low cut shirt and you just want a boyfriend SO MUCH! Please don't. It makes everyone feel weird. If you're naturally slutty girl, go for it!

5. Yesterday in church my R.A. told me that I can totally rock a messy ponytail. I guess she's never gotten out of bed 8 minutes before church and thrown her hair into a ponytail... I didn't actually think in my brian, "I am going to be fashionable today and wear a messy ponytail..." I guess it just comes naturally for me.

6. This can be a touchy subject... I have quite a few favorite Christmas albums, but for right now I just want to talk about Bruce Cockburn's. (it's pronounced Coleborn... don't be weird) this album wins the most listed to award at our house. It was released the year I was born. So... I don't even know what Christmas would be without it. It really is just a solid album. If you're into folksy stuff.

7. Old-ness. Oh man. Old-ness can seem scary but this website always makes me feel really good about growing old! I am going to be coolest old lady!

and last but certainly (this is a little sad. I spelled certainly with an S. Then I fixed it) not least I just want to say that my mom and I should be professional comedians. We text each other all day long and we are so dang funny! I wish I had a good example... But I think our humor would be far too funny for you to understand.

Movies I watched yesterday:
  • Finding Neverland
  • 13 going on 30

sick

Being sick without my mom here to take care of me has been rough... I actually have to do stuff myself! I had to drag myself out of bed and go to Wal-Mart to buy medicine and cough drops. I have to make my own food or walk to the cafeteria ALL BY MYSELF. I just want my mom.

cheeseily thinking back.

as a child i fell asleep in my mothers bed as she read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
my greatest childhood dream was to be Hermione.
I wish I had counted the times I had read each book. it would be a lot.
I wish i could say i didn't cry as Harry, Ron and Hermione sent their children to Hogwarts. but I did.
They grew up. and now it's my turn.

for me, the books and the movies have never been about Harry. They've been about Hermione. They've been about good and evil and Hagrid and Dumbledore. They've been about Ron, Ginny, Sirius and Snape and Lily. They've been about growing up and figuring out where you belong in this crazy world, they've been about love and revenge and they've been about friendship.

Pretend I was Famous.

So Grace, tell us about how your summer has been going?
oh you know, pretty good. I've just been mowing lawns and changing diapers, all that super glamorous stuff.

And how do you feel about your fathers return from his 2 week work trip?
awesome! i missed him a lot but i am really upset that he took over his bed again. I got to sleep in it with my mom. it's an amazingly comfortable bed.

Is there anything in particular you are upset about right now? (possibly having to do with your father but not about taking the bed back?)
oh yeah! I've been begging my dad to take me to this restaurant on Main Street for like... MONTHS. and guess what happened last week? it closed. he promised that he would take me. bummmer.

Speaking of restaurants, any new ones that you're dying to tell us about?
OH MY GOSH. I loved Old Towne Philly Deli. so great. Nolan and I were the only ones there and we had a PARTY. and the food was seriously amazing. if I was a rich, not going off to college in 2 months person, I would eat there everyday. YUMMY!

And what've you been reading these days?






and the journal my mom wrote to me about when I was little. boy was i HILARIOUS. seriously. I was so funny!

Well you are a VERY fascinating person, glamorous Grace! anything else you'd like to tell us about you?

well I all I can say is thank goodness for Netflix! (and my new macbook pro that I just spent a million dollars on)

- Eli Stone
- Drop Dead Diva
- 30 Rock
- Say Yes to the Dress (which is getting really old.)
- and documentaries 

Well we bid you farewell you brilliant, smart, wonder of a girl.

This weekend.

turned out so much better than i thought it would. With the boys and daddy in St. George, mom and i had a PARTY!! No seriously we had so much fun. I got to play with her a little bit and with my friends a little bit, it worked out beautifully.

FRIDAY- CHENOA TURNED 18! there was no school but i had musical the entire day, when i got home at 4:30 i jumped in the car and mumzie and i got dinner at my very favorite restaurant in the whole wide world, Royal India. I feel TERRIBLE for those of you who have never eaten here. yum. then we went and saw Secretariat.
 

The fastest race horse of all time. One of the best movies I have EVER seen. incredible.


When we got home I ran to Chelsea's and got dressed for Tiana's big party, we dressed as creepy zombies and I have to say we looked pretty dang good. pics to come soon. hopefully. anyway we had a blast and got dipin dots when we were done, then played at Chelsea's for a little bit.


The best part about dad leaving is that i get to sleep in mommy's perfect bed. ahhhhh. so lovely. So i laid down in moms bed and told her about the evening to which she replied, "dipin dots sounds good. lets go to walmart." so we got up and put some shoes on and messed around at Wal-mart... we didn't end up going to sleep until around 2 :)

SATURDAY- musical all day, phone got stolen which really... never mind, i won't get onto that subject. Chenoa had her birthday party, we had dinner at her house then went to nightmare on 13th.
 

(notice the incredible glow-stick hat :) I adore these girls. and cc. 



oh i love her.

 

chelsea kind looks weird. 


(CC took all of the above pics.)


Then i went home and slept.


SUNDAY- for breakfast we made ableskievers, those yummy danish pancake things. it was weird not to have to triple the recipe in order to feed the entire army, we just made a baby batch to feed two people. the recipe calls for buttermilk which we didn't have so my mother decided to make her own by dumping some vinegar into regular milk... the result was vinigarskievers, the dough tasted NASTY, but the final product wasn't too bad (: we skipped church because we are bad people. nah, just neither of us felt super great so we cleaned up a little bit and in so doing found a karaoke C.D. of JOURNEY! so we sang our little hearts out through the entire C.D. and laughed, played around and took these pictures: 












for dinner we had homemade root beer and pizza. the house was so quiet and peaceful. I think i will remember this weekend forever. (: happy grace.

thoughts.

"mom please please let me go with you to texas to watch you and your sisters open for Marie Osmond!?"
"grace you don't understand- this is a trip just for me and my sisters, some trips are for me and you, this one is not."
"maybe i would understand if i had A SISTER! (or seven)"


okay homeless man that watched me while i mowed the lawn. you are really creeping me out here.


walker and i REALLY DO HAVE TELEPATHY. i swear it. we don't even have to say a word to each other to know exactly what the other is thinking. it is crazy stuff.

mumzie is 43 today.

oh boy do i ever love that lady.

favorite mumz quote of the day.

"...then Nolan and his ferret can live happily ever after together in the dungeon."

that doesn't really make sense out of context. hmm. too bad.

i love glitter in the air by pink. have yourself a listen. only i am simply to tired to post a link, well... i'd rather just put my favorite parts of the lyrics.



Have you ever thrown a fist full of glitter in the air?
Have you ever looked fear in the face
And said I just don't care?
It's only half past the point of no return
The tip of the iceberg, the sun before the burn
The thunder before lightning, the breath before the phrase
Have you ever felt this way?
Have you ever hated yourself for staring at the phone?
Your whole life waiting on the ring to prove you're not alone
Have you ever been touched so gently you had to cry?
Have you ever invited a stranger to come inside?
It's only half past the point of oblivion
The hourglass on the table, the walk before the run
The breath before the kiss and the fear before the flames
Have you ever felt this way?
Have you ever wished for an endless night?
Lassoed the moon and the stars and pulled that rope tight
Have you ever held your breath and asked yourself
Will it ever get better than tonight? Tonight

wow. the song is just beautiful. i could cry. but seriously. i am SO TIRED.
