currently.



loving// spending time outdoors with my boys.  every sunday after church we go up the canyon.  it has been so fun to explore new places together as a little family.  i kid you not when i say my child loves nature.  i'm sure it's just the stimulation overload, but he can't get enough.  also, utah is so beautiful and i love living here.

wishing// i had extra money to go shopping.  it seems like i spend all my money on baby clothes these days which i love.  buuuut, i'm wanting some new updates for my wardrobe.  i'm in one of those "i have a closet full of clothes and yet feel like i have nothing to wear" phase.  does anyone else ever feel like that?

waiting// for my newest baby nephew. he's not due for a few more weeks, but i am so excited!!  after having my own newborn, it has made me appreciate those little bundles of pure, fresh joy oh so much.

thinking// about starting a monthly or possibly weekly post (eventually maybe a link-up) called "people watching wednesday"  where i will post my latest people watching gems.  you see, i find pure joy in taking sneaky pictures of interesting people i see around. 
refer to here and here

eating// everything in sight!! seriously though. lately i have had the biggest appetite and get the late night munchies like none other.  i think it's from nursing, but man i swear all i think about is food.  i can't tell you how many times a day i tell matt what sounds good or what i am craving.

addicted// to beverages.  it's so bad.  i think it's safe to say that matt and i go on a beverage run 5 out of the 7 days of the week.  it's amazing that i'm not 500 pounds because i feel like i have consumed a beefy amount of soda lately.  those dirty dr peppers just call my name.

grateful// for a loving husband who works his booty off.  i don't share my appreciation enough, but he needs to know how much i admire him.  i am a weird duck and he loves me regardless.

day late, dollar short.

i saw this march blog challenge over in this ladies corner of le old web, and i have decided to embark.
it obviously began yesterday, but i will just do two today :) lucky you! haha

maybe, just maybe you should join in too!  it's never too late after all.

day one:
self portrait and 5 random facts about yourself


1. apparently i make this face a lot at my husband.  it means different things according to the dumb comment he has made that has caused me to make said face.  he calls it my "stank face."

2. my finger nails and toe nails are always painted.  ALWAYS. i feel like a man if they are not.   i don't have dainty, cute hands and i pretty much hate all feet.  nail polish is a must.

3. whenever i have money and am excited to go shopping i can never find anything i want.  whenever i have no money i find 10 million things i desire to purchase.  it's a rough cycle.

4. i speak espanol rather fluently.  but you would never know because i never do.

5. i recently downloaded the disneyland wait time app and frequently check the wait times so that i can text people and say, "if we were at disneyland right now we would only have to wait 20 minutes for space mountain." or "california adventures is really crowded right now, it may be a good time for lunch."  it makes me happy.

day two: 
favorite quote(s)

i love quotes, i don't have a favorite.
i chose some from my pinterest board found here that strike my fancy at this moment.

pictures and a crazy.

remember when i used to take a photo a day and post it?
i have another blog
where i used to post my photo a day, but then sometime last may it just stopped happening.
with blog, facebook, instagram etc. i noticed that i have stopped pulling out my real camera and quite often take pictures on my phone for the convenience. 
my goal this year is to use my camera more often to document 2013.
to help me, i am bringing back project365.
rather than post each day i will probably post a week's worth of pictures at a time.
if you wish to follow along go HERE and feel free to join in the fun.
and because every post deserves a picture...

my latest people watching capture (on my phone of course)


today. at old navy. mind you it's literally 7 degrees outside.
yeah, she had no shirt.
crazy.

the best part was the lady behind me totally caught me taking a picture and hit me in the arm laughing and said, "you're so bad!" hahaha

camo hats and slippers.

looking through some stuff on the computer tonight and i stumbled upon these gems.



sometimes i truly wonder about myself. 
why did i feel the need to wear a child size camo fishing hat?
or slippers that were five sizes too big?
we may never know.

all i know is that if i wasn't this special my life would be pretty boring.

love.

blood. lots of it.

today i received an email from matt with the subject of:
"that's what happens when you take a charge in pick up ball..."

i open it to find this picture
and this explanation:

"at this moment i am emailing you i have 4 staples in the back of my head!  I flopped Manu Genobli style playing ball this morning and the floor came a lot faster than expected!  Goes to show you why you just foul em instead of takin a shoulder to the chest and tryin to draw a charge in pick up ball!  Don't worry it's not too bad... there was a a lot of blood though and that was way cool!!  My head is bumpin right now so forgive me for any grammatical errors."

really, i shouldn't be surprised at all because this kid is the most accident prone human known to mankind.  but i'll be honest, i had a bit of a panic when i saw the blood.

good news though, he's ok :)
love.

eleven.


i was tagged by the very fashionable cecilia over at dearest lou for the eleven questions dealio that has been going around. here goes nothing...

THE RULES

- Post these rules
- Post a photo and eleven random things about yourself
- Answer the questions provided by the one who tagged you
- Create eleven new questions for the people you tag
- Contact those you choose and let them know they've been tagged


the random.
1. i always have to have my fingernails and toenails painted. ALWAYS. i feel so weird when they are not and plus it looks ugly to me. because of that, i have an slight obsession with buying nail polish.

2. if i could make it as a white girl rapper, i totally would.  it's kind of like my secret dream...which is apparently not so secret anymore.

3. i like my body. i pretty much always have. i'm not the skinniest girl and i probably never will be. i have curves, i have boobs, and i quite like them.  i'm comfortable in my own skin, and i feel lucky because a lot of girls are not.

4. on any given day you can find eight to twelve bracelets on my wrists.  i have been told that my hands have personality, and i think my bracelet collection adds to this.

5. when i was in tenth grade i had to do community service for criminal trespassing. it was the dumbest thing ever.  i had to go to youth court and be judged by people who were younger than me.

6. i want to have lots of kids.  i always say that i'm going to have 17. haha ok maybe not that many but probably six or seven or eight.

7. i hate the game apples to apples.  i think it is extremely over played and i for one am over it.

8. i have pretty much dyed my hair every color black, brown, blonde, red, turquoise, pink, purple. one might say i like to mix it up.

9. i don't use the bathroom in public places if i can help it.  if i absolutely have to pee then i will consider it, but i won't be dropping any business anywhere other than the comfort of my home.

10. i have been pulled over nine times, resulting in four tickets.  pretty much every other time i get pulled over i get a ticket...which means next time is ticket time. BOO!

11. eleven is the number of seconds i put my string cheese in the microwave before i eat it.

cecilia asked:

What song is currently stuck in your head?
-some booty poppin' song i heard in zumba today, i don't know the name but i can sing and shake it for you if you'd like.

What is your biggest pet peeve?
-ohh i have many... one would be when people put their feet on me, or when people have baggy, soggy socks. it grosses me out.

What got you into blogging?
- i started blogging as a way to pass time shortly after my love left on his mission.  it has been a way for me to document the things i've been doing while he is away, and an outlet i guess you could say.

What's your most embarrassing moment in high school?
- honestly, i'm not easily embarrassed so i can't think of one.  

What is one physical quality you would never change about yourself?
-my feet. they are not cute at all, but they are unique and i have grown to like them.

If you had the opportunity  to go back in time for 24 hours where would you go?
-i don't remember the exact day, but it was summer of 2009. i snuck into matt's house in the wee hours of the morning and cuddled in his bed for an hour... get your mind out of the gutter, nothing happened. he wasn't my boyfriend at that time. my boyfriend was being a butt nugget, so matt held me while i cried. it was kind of perfect.

If you had the opportunity of receiving 1 million dollars if you didn't use the internet for 3 years would you take it?
-wow, that would be hard. but heck yes i would. i think it would kind of be liberating to not have to rely on the internet for so much.

What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you?
- i probably would wear sweats every single day. or maybe fart whenever i needed to.

If your life was a show what would it be called?
- it would be called, "yeah, that's real!"

Which is worse, failing or never trying?
-never trying for sure.  even though failing isn't the greatest, at least you never have to think "what if"

What is your happiest childhood memory?
-summers in the pleasure pool.  we had a swimming pool and the whole neighborhood would pretty much spend everyday in the summer in our backyard. it was the greatest.

my questions:

1. if you had to change your name, what would you change it to and why?
2. if you only had 24 hours to live, how would you spend your time?
3. what is your all time favorite ride at disneyland?
4. what color is your toothbrush?
5. what is the hardest thing you have ever done?
6. if your life at this moment was a movie, what song would be playing in the background?
7. what is your guilty pleasure?
8. what makes you the happiest?
9. do you believe in love at first sight and/or soul mates?
10. what is your beverage of choice?
11. what is the one thing you could not live without (a tangible object).

thursdays. i love them.

thursday.
my favorite day of the week.

best thing that happened:
*my mother made no bakes and left a pan for the friends and i to devour.
(perk of living at home)


*grey's anatomy is on.


weirdest thing that happened:
*i had to eat my soup with a fork, because we are all out of plastic spoons.
talk about weird.  it takes about seven times longer to eat soup with a fork. i don't recommend it.
and i even had broccoli soup which is thicker.






worst thing that happened:
* i got up to the cashier at target to purchase my goods, and when i opened my wallet my card was missing.
oh don't worry, it's in the pocket of the jeans i wore yesterday..which just happen to be laying on my bedroom floor. talk about LAME.


2nd best thing that happened:
*my work schedule tomorrow got cut in half and now i can attend this ladies house warming party :)


"pee my pants" moment of the day:
*right this second, realizing that in exactly 12 hours i will be interviewing with 12 principals.
PEE MY PANTS.
and you should maybe wish me luck or something.

that was my day in a nutshell.
oh how i love thee thursdays.
love,
amyLynn
