Team Ben or JP?

I hate to admit that I've been sucked into SO much reality television lately!  Yes, I watch 'The Bachelorette'... among 753 other stupid reality shows.  Tonight the season finale is on, and I can't wait!  So, who are you rooting for?  Ben or JP?  I'm kind of Team Ben, but I'm thinking Ashley is Team JP.  Guess we'll find out tonight!

I can't believe it's already August!  [New month, new header! Whoop!]  I feel like the summer has slipped away, alas, what is with this heat?  Possibly the worst since 1980 I've heard?  Crazy.  For those not in Texas, it's been hitting in the triple digits in Dallas for at least 30 consecutive days now (give or take a few days).  It's disgustingly hot outside and the pool is like a community bath, it's barely enjoyable!

Hope everyone is having a great summer regardless of the crazy heat, and wherever you are.

New blog song: 'Love Vigilantes' by Iron & Wine
& my recommended summer tunes: the album 'Torches' by Foster the People.
[Delicious music!]

I've missed this!

BEAUTIFUL day. Love it.

I've missed the Idaho snow and I was glad Dallas decided to channel Idaho today.

Took this picture to capture the moment. Enjoy the weird Dallas weather everyone!

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

How amazing is the fall season? It's beautiful, and I love it! The trees are so picturesque... sure wish I had that SLR camera now! All in due time! :)

For the first time in three years I was here in Dallas for Thanksgiving... and I had to freaking WORK?!! Blimey, I know! lol so, this Sunday we're having my family's Thanksgiving instead and the missionaries are coming. I'm excited... mostly for the food (and of course, to spend time with the famdamily)! AND for the first time in the last two years, I didn't go Black Friday shopping, I feel kind of empty not having spent money on $2 movies and board-games at Walmart, like I dud the last two years in Pocatello with Sarah & her family. It's been a little weird spending Thanksgiving with my family this year, I know that's odd. lol

Now that they've already been sent out, I don't feel bad posting this, these are the wedding invites I did for miss Aly! :) It was fun doing them; being that it's the profession I have chosen, I guess that's good thing!

Well, not much else to update on! It's been a fun week seeing old friends coming home from school and such. I've missed them greatly! Here's a few pictures to distract you because I'm running out of things to say:

Being awesome at Alex's casa! :)

...Smatt and I, after the group "Lobo" event... the La Bo... the DEN!

I think it's funny the foreground (Matt & I) are blurry, but our friends in the back are perfectly clear, 30 feet away! lol PS-Matt's face in this, PRICELESS!

Aaanyways, current song obsession: ALL CHRISTMAS MUSIC, thank you, 103.7 KVIL for playing Christmas music REALLY early this year! I loooove it! :)

Ok bye now!

Unusual You by Britney Spears

Today my "blog song" is by one my favorite artists, a song definitely worthy of downloading for a small fee of only 99 cents, or by other means if you prefer... brought to you by the great Britney Spears. YES, I like her and NO, I don't care if you don't, ha! Admittedly her music isn't for everyone, but you're really missing out! Your insults about her go in one ear and out the other. And come March 31, 2009, I will be seeing her in LIVE IN CONCERT! I can't wait! She's had her bad moments, but who hasn't? I'm so glad that my yelling of "Save Britney!" aloud in public places has resulted in this marvelous come back, you can thank me in cash payments. Wow... ok, I'm done.

While on the topic of my blog song, I've decided that it's getting boring. At least for me... SO every now and then will I grace you with a new song I've been listening to on repeat.

Well, I am back in Dallas finally, BUT I am really missing my Idaho friends. I love my Dallas friends, but I don't think they really understand me sometimes, but I'm glad to be back with my family, especially little ClaireBear even thought I have barely seen her, because coming back to Dallas also entails me to go back to work... actually, I'm at work right now, oh, JOY! But I have 17 minutes until freedom.

Not much to blog about, I'm waiting for my box to arrive that I shipped home because it has my watercolor paints in there, and I want to paint!!! And I might see some friends tonight... SO eventful! :)

Well, until next time. Maybe something exciting will have happened!

PS. I am having Twilight movie withdrawls! SO, I am reading the book again, for the 3rd-ish time. It never get's old. Ok bye now!
