boom! there's the flavor!

I watched Hot Rod for the umpteenth time this weekend. 

Here are a few things I learned. 

First, I forgot how absurd and random the whole movie is. 

Which is why it's so stinking hilarious, obvi.

Also, the part where Denise, Jonathan and Rod are all in the diner and they order flaming Dr. Peppers, and then Jonathan takes a drink and says:

"BOOM, there's the flavor!"

(a la the title of this post. har har har)

Yeah, that's probably the funniest part of the whole movie to me. Don't ask why.

When you watch something that many times, the word "hello" becomes hilarious. 

C'est la vie, no?

Also, this weekend was full of shinanigans that I'm sure you are dying to hear about.

 Went to Rubios.

(Fish taco, will you date me??)

Saw "Source Code"

(Jake Gyllenhaal made the confusing movie worth it)

Proof

OD'd on sugar, via shave ice. 

(Mega gross. I won't be doing that again any time soon.)

BBQ'd with aunt, uncle, cousins, and company (aka all the crazy neighbors you can imagine. Fireworks included).

Had the laaaazzziiieesstttt Sunday afternoon in memory. 

It was awesome.

Had the day off work yesterday

(HOOOORAH for Utah holidays!)

Spent time at the pool with partner in crime Jburk,

I used to get mad when my parents would tease me for having boat feet. Was I that blind that I couldn't see they were telling the truth? Hello, giant flippers!

and hung out with my favorite Modern Family. 

Get it?

So yeah, basically it was a really chill, summery, fun, and MUCH needed weekend. 

And finally, just to throw this out there, I bought 3 things online today.

I think I do that (online shop, that is) for 2 reasons.

First, because who's NOT trying to browse page after page of cool things?

Second, I like

.... no.... 

LOVE..... 

getting things in the mail. 

And if someone isn't going to take care of that, well then gosh darn it, I will do it myself!

five senses friday

Seeing: The usual slew of EFY kids. And lots of sun. Both of which make me undeniably happy. You know what else makes me happy? (Or WOULD, if I were actually participating....)The fact that the Fleet Foxes are in Utah tonight. Performing an outdoor concert.
It's too bad they don't accept limbs or kisses as a form of payment instead of actual tickets....
 

Tasting: (Or rather anticipating the taste of) Friday night shave ice! Or frozen yogurt! Or any other frozen treat! Yay summer! And apparently exclamation points!!

Listening: Earth, Wind and Fire. Who's NOT trying to start their weekend with a little soul? That's the real question here. And the answer should be no one. 
Because lets be real, this song is the BEST.

Smelling: The brilliance of Marc Jacobs. 
Bless that man, and his wonderful fragrance line. 

Feeling: Very tired and sore from this week's workouts. 
How are my hamstrings still crying from a weight class on MONDAY? 
You tell me. 
Because no amount of Tylenol has brought me relief.

So there you have it. 
Another boring list that probably only I care about. 
But who cares because only God can judge me. 

so I guess this is a weekly thing now

Dear new running shoes,

Probably I should adopt Jenny's habit and buy new running shoes 6 times a year instead of just one.

Because I am obsessed with you!

(And just for the record, these are the best running shoes I have ever had. Srsly.)

Dear Modern Family,

You have had me endlessly entertained over the last 3 weeks. And now I am left waiting for season 3 to start. I don't think I can handle aka I'm just going to watch season 1 and 2 again. 

p.s. Phil, you are my fav :)

Dear hair,

I am this close to chopping you all off....... must..... show...... self...... control......

Dear people I work with, 

You guys are so fantastic. How did I get so lucky?

Dear school/fall semester,

I can't believe I am admitting this, but I am getting kind of excited for you. There is something magical about fall in Provo. And even the thought of school is a little enticing.

I'm sure I will be eating my words later, but until then, I will continue to get a little more excited every day.

Happy Thursday.

those awkward things you try to forget

Everyone has them.

Some more than others 

*cough me cough*

One in particular has been haunting my brain this morning.

Rewind, to sophomore year of high school. 

*insert flashback noise from LOST*

I don't know why, but I had this thing for UBER comfy clothes. 

Don't get me wrong, I loved cute clothes. 

(cute-ish . I don't think Old Navy polos could neccessarily be defined as "cute" these days.). 

I just loved comfy clothes a little bit more. 

Which is why I developed this weird habit of wearing the same outfit EVERY Friday. 

You heard me. 

Every. Friday. 

Queue description of stretchy black yoga pants and an "I heart NY" t-shirt. 

Tacky-ville much?

Things got out of hand one day when my friend Crystal noticed and commented on said outfit. 

It didn't bother me until the following Friday when she showed up wearing the exact same thing

Her response to my horrified look:

"I wanted to see if you really do it every Friday like I noticed. 

And you do!

And now we are twins!"

Needless to say, as much as I loved the girl, I stopped doing it after that.
Another super embarassing thing I did in high school involved eating lunch.... 

.....by myself.....

.....in the bathroom.....

.....for the whole first week of school sophomore year.

Rough year all around, right?

What do you expect?

I was the new kid for goodness sakes!!

viva la monday, and hey-oh to a boring week. thankfully.

First, I just need to apologize for the melodrama-saturated post about Harry Potter. 

Obviously I need to learn my limits when it comes to venting about my passions. 

I'm working on it.

Second, this weekend was great. And here is why. 

Friday night, Harry Potter party.

(Although, as much as I loved throwing a tribute to my favorite fictional character, I don't think I will be doing something like that again for a while. 

First, we made way too much food. 

Second, we spent way too long shopping, decorating, cooking, etc. 

And I'm just not all about making 50 cupcakes and using my grocery money to buy 6 liters of cream soda.)

Next time, I will just read the book or something.

Saturday, I slept in for DAYS. 

I forgot how much I love that. 

Oh wait. 

No I didn't. 

Because I remember that every morning when my alarm rings at 6:30.

Anyways. 

Then Saturday night was my bff's bridal shower. 

I love that girl so much, and I'm freaking pumped to be at her wedding in.....

19 DAYS WAAAAAHHHHH!

Also, how adorbs is this little room? Courtesy of The Chocolate.

Then yesterday, I was a recluse. 

Took a 2 hour nap. 

BOMB.

Spent 2 more hours on the phone with my mom.

MORE BOMB.

(Obviously I am going through family withdrawals...)

And watched the Parent Trap.

How 5th grade of me, right?

And now here we are. At the beginning of what is thankfully going to be a very uneventful week. 

Basically all I plan on doing is a lot of cooking, biking, running and swimming. 

And probably Modern Family watching.

Simple pleasures, right?
