Promoting StumbleUpon

Today I went to the mall wearing my StumbleUpon T-shirt to help promote the website. I love SU, and wish I had other ways of helping them get more traffic. Toay was another not super eventful day, but I did go out for a hamburger and I did go look at some manga at Barnes and Noble.

The Blossoms of Spring

Pictures of some blossoms I took today! The trees were gorgeous! It was a nice walk.

       

 

Also look at this cat I found today!

Laid Back

I didn't go to the gym on Saturday, but I did go to Petsmart with Panda and mom. Panda got scared by a little dog that was barking and growling, it was sooo funny! Mom had to pick her up and actually bring her into the store because she wouldn't go near it. Panda is pretty big, so it was really entertaining.
Kayla's friend that also has autism came over, and so did my other niece and nephew. I think Paul and Kayla went somewhere so we babysat their kids.

Sunday I slept in and didn't get to wash my hair so I just put on a bandanna and went to church like that. After church mom had made this really really weird beans and rice and tomato soup like stuff. I had to put a lot of cheese in it to mask the tomato taste that overpowered everything. I was hungry so even though I hate warm tomatoes I tolerated it. I watched Pretty Little Liars until ward prayer tonight.

At ward prayer I forgot what we talked about, but we had chocolate banana bread and candy afterward and said a really awesome but long prayer for a lot of people. It was pretty awesome

 

Anyway, so I just watched "Pretty Little Liars", and just hung out after this. The rest is history.

Hair Products

Today was pretty simple. I just went to Harmons for a couple of hours and looked through ALL the shampoos and conditioners because the one I've been using isn't good enough. I'm not really a very big fan of Garnea Fructis so I chose the one below.

I was also going to buy some candy, but decided I didn't want to waste my money.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot a few things. Laura caught some shoplifters at the store today. They got away because she wasn't sure when she saw them that they were shoplifters, but after a while we figured it out. The store said that she was most likely right about them shoplifting. I really hope they get caught.

Anyway, here is a Savage Chickens comic.

Beautiful People

I slept in and skipped institute today. I did go to the gym and get a lot of stretching in because my hamstrings and quads have been so tight! I used the bosu ball to help keep myself up when I was doing the quad stretches.

Later I went to the mall and when I was at Build a Bear I saw this horse that I think Kayla will love for her birthday! I also went to Starbucks and got an iced tiramisu latte. It was pretty darn good, but I think I prefer the frappuccino. :)

 

    

Anyway, so here are some of the hair videos I was looking at yesterday. I also found this guy called Stefan Sanjati that is soooo cute and beautiful!  :)

And here are some of the hair videos I liked from yesterday.

Hair Notes

Today I started taking my hair really seriously and decided that I am going to do everything it takes to grow it out now. I watched some videos and took notes (the picture below). These are just the beginning of the notes of course.

The day wasn't super eventful, I watched a cool slow motion video of a shattering CD. I also ate corn dogs and tater tots with my family and had to listen to a horrible performance of a girl singing "I just wanna dance" by Whitney Huston that sounded like a train wreck in voice form.

Anyway, here is the Slow mo guys video.

Darik & Dylan - (Part 5)

This post is a place holder.

Pretending Not to Notice

Today I saw Dylan at the gym. I was listening to Nightwish and saw he was busy so I pretended not to notice and walked by. I then used the calf extension machine that was by coincidence right in front of him. I regret not saying more now because I don't know if I'll ever get to see him again before he goes out to sell for Vivint with Darik in the summer.

Anyway, here is a picture of tonight's dinner.   

I will Insert image, link or video to fill in boring day later.

Random Picture

Today was a pretty uneventful day, I just watched videos and ate cookies. I'm not going to bother writing more than this. Sometimes my weekends are mediocre.  

Peanut Butter Power!

Today I just stayed home for the first part of the day, listened to music and watched YouTube videos.

Laura wanted to make cookies for a church activity tonight and so we went to the store and bought Reese's pieces and Reese's peanut butter chips for peanut butter cookies. I also got a blueberry cake donut. I thought about getting a Mr. Goodbar and a Cookies and cream bar, but changed my mind.

I'll give you the recipe some other time. It was fun making the cookies with Laura.

  

After we made the dough it made around 5 dozen cookies! We piled them in a pan for later. I got to test taste one though and they turned out awesome!
While I waited for the party one of Ksyla's friends came over and they played games on the Xbox and we ordered a pizza. They are both autistic.

I went downstairs with some popcorn for a little bit and played games on my phone until the church activity.

Around 7 we brought the cookies over to the church. There were cookies and people were setting up board games, card games, sewing quilts, tying blankets, and putting birthday bags together for the ward members. I helped with the birthday bags, they had fruit snacks, granola bars, chips and Capri sun. I think some of them had other stuff, but I didn't get a good look. Other than that I just hung out and ate some of the cookies other people had brought.

   

                   

My favorite thing was the peanut butter rice Krispy treats.
Natalie, Kayla and her friend all came with us. Laura took Kayla's friend home and then came back to the church at the end and after Natalie was done playing her card game we headed home.

Blooming

At institute today we had pizza from Pizza Studio. I had sausage and pepperoni, it was pretty amazing! I didn't go to the gym today, and right after class I headed straight to the mall. Today I noticed that the trees are in bloom now because of the great weather! I'm so happy it is spring now!

  

I didn't spend a whole lot of time at the mall. Later at home I watched Nightwish's movie Imaginaerum. I can't believe it took me so long to watch it when I've owned the companion album for a couple of years.
Anyway, that was my day today.
TODAY IS THE LAST DAY OF WINTER WOOOO!

Medicine Ball

I feel kind of bad for being so lazy the past couple of weeks. On the other hand summer and spring are my most active times of the year. It is probably great that I have been giving myself more break time to heal and relax. Tonight though I saw my personal trainer and he gave me some new stuff to do! No laziness for me today. 

We did some stuff with medicine balls including this one where I do squats and when I come up I toss the ball up against the wall. It was kind of scary, but I was fine after a few tries. Here is the routine. 

 

The rest of the day was pretty uneventful. I like to stay home and just chill out and watch anime and other stuff on Wednesdays now because it's my parents day off.

Tonight we had spaghetti, Texas toast and salad.  

Green Galore

Today I didn't get to wear as much green as I wanted to. I'm a bit bummed about it, but there is always next year! I ended up wearing an emerald green bandanna and tank top. I was originally going to go to the gym today because I wanted to go somewhere and I was bored. Laura, Natalie and I ended up going shopping for running shoes instead though. Natalie got some FILA running shoes and she also got some workout clothes because she is in track now.

It was pretty fun looking through the shoes at Kohl's. I prefer Asics running shoes, but that is just me. I also usually get mine at Runner's Corner, but that place was a bit out of Laura and Natalie's price range sadly.

After this we went home and I watched anime. I found this really bizarre magical GUY anime called "Cute High Earth Defense, Club LOVE!". I knew it was only a matter of time before someone deviated from the standard magical girl genre. I love the show, but sometimes it's level of corniness and girlish feel makes me cringe. The anime is just so... cute. 

Anyway, so other than this nothing much happened today. I just took it easy today because I'm seeing my personal trainer tomorrow.

Preoccupation

Nothing much happened today. I went to the gym for an hour and did some cardio. I had mom pick me up from the mall and she let me use her card to buy this yellow blanket I've wanted forever from Deb. It normally would have cost $40, but they are closing this week so it cost $12 instead. I am so happy I have it. I'm using it as a kind of sheet until I can get real sheets. That might change depending on how I feel after tonight. I might decide to have it on top instead.
Nightwish is still pretty much on my mind a LOT! I'm just so hyped for the new album and the concert. Marco is who I want to meet the most. I just can't seem to stop thinking about them! I'm totally preoccupied with what is happening in April, it's crazy.

I want to keep this short, so I'm just going to end here.

Pie (Pi) Party

Saturday night Ben brought over some pizza for little Ceasars and some pies from Village Inn. We also had root beer and breadsticks.





Mom and I went to Harmons and Costco late in the afternoon and got fruits and veggies. Stuff like apples, snap peas, cabbage, lettuce, jicama, and a couple of other things. We got eggs at Costco as well. I looked around for samples, but there weren't any. I didn't think there would be any, but sometimes later in the afternoon I get lucky.

Earlier in the day I ate some frozen chocolate pie that has just been there in the freezer for weeks.  I also watched some parts of a Donkey Kong 64 lets play on YouTube. Other than this I took a nap and started planning my route to Nightwish's concert on April 22nd WAY in advance. I'm not even buying the tickets until the 10th. I love to be prepared for these types of things.

Today I had a tangerine, and an egg and cheese sandwich for breakfast. I forgot to dry my hair before church and had to let my black headband tame it during sacrament meeting. It hasn't been completely cooperative, but it's a lot better than it was.

I did another doodle in sacrament meeting today.

Stuff like the atonement, mission experiences, learning how to give our burdens to Jesusand let him help us, and not getting distracted by technology were talked about today.  The return missionary talked about an inactive family that became active again and the husband of the family got baptized. It took 20 years and a lot of missionary work to get to this point.  In relief society we talked about repentance. After church my visiting teaching companion and I got together with Natasha, one of the two people we are assigned to teach. I blanked out what we talked about sadly. I think the sugar I had yesterday has made me really spaced out today.

After I got home I had beans, rice and cheese for dinner. I listened to some Dark Moor, Kamelot, and Nightwish music. I finished off the snap peas we got yesterday and watched some Rocko's Modern Life. That was pretty much my day today.

Chocolate Binge

Bed hair...



I just simply ate too much popcorn today I had a bad in the afternoon and then we saw Cimderella tonight. The movie was great and after Laura, Natalie, Kayla and I went to Taco Bell and we got shredded chicken burritos and done Apple carmel dessert. I forgot what it was called, but it was good. We took Natalie and Kayla through Wendy's and got chicken nuggets and fries.  Natalie was feeling nauseous and didn't eat until we got home around 10:30. Sometimes I wonder if she literally thinks herself into getting sick.



I went to Harmons today and got some chocolate. I decided that Friday the 13th is my chocolate binge day. I think that is perfect because it's controlled and I won't go overboard on other days so easily. It was a pretty short trip to the store and I was tempted to buy other things like Necco Waffers, candy corn and spice drops, but I resisted.



I actually slept in today and had a cheese quesadilla for lunch. That seems to be the trend lately. I read more of The Golden Spiral by Lisa Mangum today as well.



I think that is all for today, it was fun seeing Cinderella, it's a fantastic movie and you should see it.

One more thing. You know I love this web comic. :)


Ceiling Pictures

today I went to institute and we had Subway. I'm just going to stop eating that there because they never do it justice. My sandwich had ham, lettuce, cucumbers, mayo, and a couple of other things. I had a white chocolate chip macadamia nut cookie, a bad of ranch Doritos and a Capri sun. I was in a good and relaxed mood, but was hungry because I only had a banana and a tangerine for breakfast.

I headed straight for the mall after class, and just hung out there for a while and I noticed that The Body Shop was closed. I hope they are just remodeling, it would be sad it they are gone for good. I was just starting to get to know the employees there. Deb closes in 11 days as well, and I found the perfect yellow blanket for my bed that I've been looking for, but I'm broke so I can't get it. I'm a little bummed out by that.

I noticed that thru are replacing the tan light and dark floor tiles with white flooring. It looks stunning and brightens up the place a lot where they have it so far. I can't wait to see it when it's done.
I spent a couple hours at "H" grocery store later, but ended up not buying anything. I was going to get some chocolate, and then I was going to get crackers, or bread, or just something under $3 but I ended up changing my mind about everything. I suppose it's for the best.

We had Stoffers chicken and rice bake, carrots and peas, and Texas toast for dinner tonight. It was simple, but good and I was glad to have something else to eat besides ice cream. I DID eat too much ice cream today.



Anyway, I think that's all for today. I really need to talk about my thoughts and stuff more, but for now this will do.  

Oh gosh, I nearly forgot to post my ceiling snapchats. For some reason no one ever views my snaps when I post them. I know it's coincidence but it's still sad. I do ceiling doodles when I'm bored. 



ICE CREAM

Okay, short and sweet. Tonight we had ice cream and Natalie had a violin concert. Well, I didn’t really go to the concert, but after, when everyone was home we got out sugar and waffle cones and ate Dreyers chocolate chip ice cream and chocolate peanut butter ice cream.

I had one of each kind.



The ice cream was perfect for my mellow mood. I can’t go to the gym until Monday because of (girl issues). It really sucks, but I’ll live.
I’m going to institute tomorrow, hopefully they are having something good for lunch…

Job Applications

i will keep this simple. I skipped institute today and slept in. I had a peanut butter and honey sandwich and put an apple through the slicer. I decided to save the apple for later and put it in a ziplock bag. I then got everything together and left for the mall. When at the mall I turned in my applications to Pretzel Maker, Chick Fil A, Cinnabon, P.F Changs, and Build a Bear Workshop.  I then walked around the mall a bit before I caught the bus to “M” grocery store and turned in my last application.

After this I got raspberry and banana swirl frozen yogurt on a cone. I momentarily forgot I was on a sugar free diet again, but I didn’t beat myself up for it.
I caught the bus to the mall again I was going to go to the gym, but I didn’t feel quite right and I realized I was having. (Girl issues). I decided to go home right then and realized I won’t be going to the gym for a few more days sadly. I am bummed about this. I feel a bit more under the weather this time than I’m used to.

The rest of the day I listened to music and finished watching the let’s play of Conkers Bad Fur Day. I took a long nap and had salad, sweet potatoes and steak for dinner. I’ve been listening to Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality again and playing a really cool game on my iPhone called Color Zen for a while now.
