Moral of the Day
Today Dad and I went to Costco. Of course they had free samples and we went around trying them. We got to the pre formed cookie dough ball things and Dad said "Oh, they come in a shape like that?" Pointed to the dough balls and the lady freaked out. "She said please don't touch those." and started dumping all the un-used cookie dough into the trash can. So do pretend to touch something at Costco because they might think you actually touched it and then they have to waste good cookie dough. Glad we cleared that one up.

Good Day
Two things make for a really good day.
1. Good Hair
2. Good Lunch
(and sometimes a third---cute outfit.)
Today was a good day.
During dinner tonight Dad played some old music of his and we chatted about music and how great it is. It was a lot of fun.
The costume people at school finally decided they wanted my help and after today I think they wished I had been there from the start.
The office is on tonight!
And yes, today I had good hair, a good lunch, and a cute outfit.

The Last Few Days
After a little inspiration from Kendall....
*Monday night we had fried chicken for dinner, It was delicious. The only thing that I forgot about fried chicken is that it makes me sick. Like my stomach is going to explode sick. Good thing I ate it right before my choir concert right?
*When I went out to my car to drive to school on Monday and Tuesday the stars were out. I'll have to admit I was a little late to seminary both days because I stopped and looked at them. This world and beyond is amazing!
*Today in my anatomy we were talking about the bony thorax (aka rib cage) this boy said something like "what about that hole thing in your chest?" and when nobody answered he lifted up his shirt and showed us his nice toned abs and upper body. There was no hole thing to be had but I did have a good time and a good laugh while looking at his bod.
*Yes Kendall the weather is crazy. Yesterday it was 75 degrees and sunny but today it is 45 and raining.
*Right now I feel very overwhelmed by the thought of applying to BYU.
*America's Next Top Model is on tonight!

Come and Be My Friend
Why is it when people are visiting you from far away you have no motivation to blog? I mean when I have someone here to be my friend I am totally okay being away from the computer but once they leave it's like I cling on to it for dear life. I miss you and sorry for not blogging very often, I just have to many fun people that come to visit me and then they leave. So here I am, an only child again and I miss you.

Alaina in Oregon
We had a great time, what more can I say.
One night we bathed Adrie. At first her screaming made me laugh a little bit but when I didn't stop it made my heart ache. The best part was afterward because she was all cuddley and look oh so cute in that towel.
Nothing makes me realize more how much I love than when they are around. I love you all! I am coming to Utah the first few days of November! YAY!

Beauty and the Beast a Latter-Day Tale
Dear Friends let me tell you a little about a tale called beauty and the beast. Someone from our ward was kind enough to bring this video to our ailling mother so we decided to watch it. Lets just say if I were ever to actually read a mormon romance novel this is what it would be like.
A beautiful girl named Belle is working to help her family who has recently lost their mother when her father breaks a priceless work of art at the Beast's house. Everyone calls Eric Landry the beast because he is so rude. We come to know the deeper story of his past and how he became an alcoholic because Belle has agreed to work of her father's debt of breaking the vase. Long story short they fall in love then they break up because another creepy boy thinks that Belle is the one and makes them break up. But in the end it was happy. This is a movie full of cheesy acting, almost emotional moments, and subtle hints that yes indeed it is a mormon movie. Oh the fake crying was the best.
What a great way to spend my sunday night.

Friday and My First Date
Yesterday my alarm went off at 5:18 and my favorite Gwen Stafani song was playing, I knew it was going to be a good day. I brought the cake that I had made for my friend that I had made the night before and her birthday celebration went great. When school was finally over I went shopping with Gabbe on a mission to find a nice pair of skinny/straight leg jeans for New York. Mission accomplished not only did I walk away with the cutest pair of skinny jeans you've ever seen but I also got a really cute pair of brown boots! My first ever pair of boots and I am very excited about them. Next I came home and got ready for my date!
Tom and I met at Gladstone bowling lanes around 6:15. Neither of our six months are up so we had to drive seperate cars. We bowled two games sandwiched in between two other large groups so we really had no where to sit. I was entertaining. I did break 100 on the second game, I was happy about that. Next we drove down to Taco Bell and ate our food and chatted. I had a good time getting to know Tom better. He is a funny kid. After the Taco Bell adventure we decided it was too early to go home so we went to hang out a the dollar store. We had a good time looking at the kitchen supplies. While looking at the goblets I shared with Tom the desire I have always had to try and snap the top of one. A couple minutes later there was the sound of breaking glass. My heart stopped. There was Tom standing with a broken goblet in his hands. I was so shocked! He put the broken pieces down and said "Just walk away.". By this time I was laughing so hard. Like I said, he is a pretty funny kid. We bought our candy and went home to my house and we watched the Italian Job. I only fell asleep for a little bit at the end but I don't think that Tom noticed. When he left I asked him is he remembered when he broke that goblet, we had a good laugh and then he said he'd see me on Monday. It was a successful night. I had a good time just being good friends with him and I hope I can do it more. I did find out that everyone in my ward is still trying to hook Kameron and me up. It is very funny that they take such an interest in it. All we have to do now it wait for Kameron's mom gives her already 16 year old son permission to date. More on that at another time.

Playing Mom
Today my Mom Janny had surgery on her arm. After her being gone for a week in Utah I was getting excited for her to get home. Lets just say I am having a great time because I get to play mom. Last week when she was gone I made pumpkin bread (so good) butterscotch oatmeal cookies (melt in your mouth good) and then Megan and I made stuffed green peppers (delicious). Today I made Taco soup (as good as always) and some more pumpkin bread to finish off the remaining pumpkin. I am loving this cooking thing. Maybe I should consider doing some school work but then again all that will really matter once I'm a wife are my cooking skills so then again I should spend more time in the kitchen.

A letter to a Friend
Dear Britney Spears,
You got your kids taken away. Isn't that sad. Your life must really be falling apart if you can't even get your act together for your kids. What are those kids going to think when they grow up. I think they would say "Mom's a fallen teen star who fell apart when she was upstaged by Christina." I'm sorry Brit but it is a little bit true. You did at one point share a kiss with Madona but look at Christina now. She is happily married and expecting a baby. She doesn't appear to be doing drugs but who knows, maybe in a few years and two kids later she'll be just like you. Atleast you have that to look foward to. I love you girl but you need to get your priorities straight.
All the support in the world,
Mallory
