yummy in my tummy

So, I just had the best tasting rice, veggie, potato blend veggie crisp ever! Seriously. Good stuff. It's called Flat Earth and the flavor of the day is tangy tomato ranch. Really yummy people. I'm usually not a huge fan of baked veggie crisps, but the flavor was better than anything I've ever tasted. I'd take a picture of the now empty bag, but I don't have my camera with me today.

Anyway, in other news, my sister is moving today. Kind of bummed, not gonna lie. But she's only in the next state. A mere 4 hour drive. Uh...yeah. I was just informed that I inherited all her spices. Don't know if I should be excited or not seeing as my roommate already has a ton of spices that I've been using. Our supply will probably be doubled with the stash that my sister passed on to me.

Uh...there was something else that I wanted to post about but it has conveniently slipped my mind. Hm...oh! I bought a new pair of earrings from this place called The Coal Umbrella here in Provizzle. Really cool vintage store with no air conditioning. Even if it was edging on uncomfortably hot, I scored a pair of cute little red earrings. Now I just have to find something that will go with my new found treasure. They also have a bunch of really cool vinyls. I totally wanted to buy some, but alas, I don't have a record player. So I bought a record for my brother instead. I didn't get him anything for his birthday, so this pretty cheap vinyl was a major brownie point scorer for me. It was a good 7 bucks cheaper than the same album in cd form. I like the store and I like the fact that it saved me some money. :-)

Bought 2 pairs of shoes as well. I went to the DI in American Fork to get supplies to make a replica of an earring holder out of a old Manilow record and I passed by the shoes and lo and behold, a perfectly new pair of tan suede Vans. Normally, I wouldn't buy shoes from a secondhand store because of my fear of contracting some weird foot fungus, but these had never ever been worn outside much less inside. I got them for a mere 5 bucks when normally they're 50 bucks or more. Also bought a pair of American Eagle shoes from Payless last night. I thought they'd be comfortable to wear all day, but I was wrong. They look like Mary Janes except of a leather strap and buckle, it's a connected to the shoe on both sides piece of elastic. Forgetting that feet swell through out the day, the elastic strap wasn't letting the blood flow quite as much as I wanted it to to my toes. Needless to say my feet looked a little weird after I took them off. I was assured, though, that the elastic strap will stretch so that it won't do that anymore. I just hope it's sooner than later because i really like them and I'd hate to have to give them away just because my feet swell...

Anyhow, its almost time for me to go home. It's been a long long day and I'm tired of having to deal with people.

Toodles.

Hooray!

I've lost 9.2 pounds in the last 6 days. I'm excited! The picture really doesn't have anything to do with weight loss per se, but it does have the word reduce on it and I took the picture, so I'm putting it up. :-]

Sleepiness becomes me

*sigh* I miss the ocean. Not really the Atlantic Ocean, although I have to say that the East Coast has some beautiful beaches. But the Pacific Ocean will always be home to me. I miss it. I miss the hot sand, the coconut scented sunscreen and tanning oil, the salty sea air, the random volleyball games, the hot surfer boys. I miss it all. Its my favorite place where you can watch the sunset while looking out over the water. Its amazing! Sure, it gets hot, but really? When you're there at the beach looking at the water, taking it all in, it doesn't really matter how hot it is. I've always loved the water. It has a calming effect over me like lavender oil in a steamy bath. I wish I could just be a beach bum for the rest of my life. I'd take photos and sell them to support my needs. Kind of like what Thoreau did at Walden Pond. I really only need the simple things in life and the beach and ocean. I could get along without my phone and definitely without my alarm clock. Just ...

Hooray for Holi!

My friend Kim and I will be going to celebrate Holi with our fellow Hindus today. I'm not sure if half the people going today actually know what Holi is except for the fact that it is fun. Go to this link and learn about Holi! *Pictures will be forthcoming!* **ETA: So, there was a HUGE accident on the freeway on the way to Spanish Fork yesterday and being the impatient driver that I am, decided to go around the accident. We went through Springville and Mapleton to avoid the accident. Well, not knowing what exit we were at, we weren't sure where we were and completely missed the festival. I was a little bummed. Well, a lot bummed. Kim and I went up the Spanish Fork Canyon instead to a town that was flooded years ago. Hopefully Kim won't hate me forever for missing the festival...
