Thanksgiving Weekend

Happy Thanksgiving Weekend and "Black Friday!" This week has been pretty good. I had my birthday Monday, I'm now 26 years old. ewwww. But my birthday was really nice. Everyone at work was especially nice to me. Kind of a nice change of pace. :P I was very pleasantly surprised at how many calls and texts and emails I got. I am way more loved than I deserve! But I love you all and thanks for your thoughts!

Wednesday night Eileen came over for me to put fire engine red streaks in her hair. I still haven't seen how it turned out, but we had a good time bonding. I also put my hair in curlers for Thanksgiving. I looked like Shirley Temple. I'll add some pics below.

Thanksgiving was a blast! I had a wonderful meal with family and friends. I got a bunch of pics that I'll add below as well. My mom put up our Christmas tree. Its a really pretty blue one. Princess loved exploring the boxes. Today is "Black Friday" and my mom woke me up at 4:00 am so that we could go to Shopko. The line was wrapped around the building. Its my first Black Friday where I actually got up to go shopping. The customers at Shopko were actually quite nice. Target and Walmart however, not so much. The people would push and shove and practically take stuff out of your hands. I didnt care for that so much. If it werent for the amazing deals, I wouldnt have gone at all. I'm soooo excited for Christmas now! I picked out my present (and actually had to pay for half of it). I know it ruins the fun when you know what you're getting but lets just say its worth it cuz I'm soooo excited! Even if I am forking over a bunch of money myself to help pay. Yay!

Anyway, here are pics from the weeks events! Hopefully I'll still have more later this weekend. I'm going to a birthday dinner with Rusty tomorrow too. Yay! I love Thanksgiving weekend. Freaking rocks! I hope it was great for you all as well!!

Eventful weekend

So this was a pretty exciting weekend! I imagine my idea of exciting is lame compared to the majority of people...but I'm still enjoying my weekend. I spent the majority of the weekend watching Grey's Anatomy Season 2. My friend got me interested in Grey's a few months ago, and I decided I needed to start from the begining and catch up to the current episodes. So I finished season 2 tonight. AMAZING! So much blood and guts! I freaking loved the intense drama.
Anyways...that was the majority of the weekend.


Next item up...


Hooray for Twilight!! AMAZING!! I very much enjoyed the show. I went into the movie with kinda low expectations. I have a LOT of negatives about the movie, especially the cast, but overall I still enjoyed the movie despite my gripes. I have seen it twice and I still want to see it again and again. When me and some friends and family went the other night I saw these awesome shirts that said "OCD" (Obsessive Cullen Disorder). I totally want one! :)


Does anyone remember Mystery Science Theater 3000? Where the man and the robots watched old B movies and commented about them and made fun of it the whole time?? I could TOTALLY go all MST3K on Twilight! I made this lovely re-creation of my MST3K Twilight vision:
Can ya see the tiny little bodies that I drew on the front row?? Thats me! Making smart aleck comments about the movie. Dang I'd be fanastic at it! :) Maybe I can start my own career! LOL Especially with Eileen as my cohert. Good times. :)

And of course this weekened was the holy war! BYU vs U of U!
GO UTES!!
My family came over to watch the game. I had to capture my brother and his wife and my nephew all dressed up. So cute!!
And here's the picture of the girls...minus Crystal who couldn't come. :( We missed you Crystal! I'll be sure to get a pic of me and her at Thanksgiving.

I hope everyone else had a good weekend too....and dont forget! Tomorrow is my big day! :-D

Smartest Nephew EVER

I got new shoes! I know most people dont care about trivial things like shoes...but I DO! :) Anyone that knows me is probably thinking "DUH." I tried counting once and gave up. And I've gotten tons more since I last tried. I'm addicted to shoes! These are my new Sketchers Running Shoes:

Princess Really likes them too!

I should be a shoe model! LOL...for kids


Other news...I really need to sell my drumset. Anyone know of anyone that may want a drumset?? Its in fantastic condition considering how long I've had it! Some of the drums have the original Pearl heads. Let me know if anyone is interested in purchasing this fantabulous item.

While I was taking photos to post online to sell my drumset, I got some darling photos of my nephew Jarren. I love him! He's so cute! And SOOOO smart! He was a riot playin on these!



And now, heres Jarren singing the itsy bitsy spider! He did it all by himself! So smart! Have I mentioned this kid is only 2 years old? Well..almost 3. He'll be 3 in about a month. So stinking cute!

Now heres a clip of Jarren doing jumping jacks. LOL it cracks me up. He can do the leg motions...OR the arm motions, but not really both at the same time. And yes, I am very easily entertained! I could have stayed there singing songs with him for hours! He probably knows more songs than me

Here's Jarren singing "Do as I'm doing"...He didnt know this one as well. I'm still impressed!

Here he is rockin' on the drumset! I know he's gonna be sad when I sell them.

And here is the most precious one of all! He's singing "I love to see the Temple, and then he recites the Pledge of Allegiance!

Now tell me that isn't the cutest thing ever! I know he didnt get every single word, but you show me any 2 year old that can recite the freaking pledge of alligiance. CRAZY! Bob and Jamie have done an amazing job raising this boy. And i'm so excited for my new nephew Colton Scott Goudy to be born next year!

Final thought...how come no one ever comments on my blog anymore? Or do people just really not read it?

Crafty Shel!

So I haven't posted anything lately. My life has been pretty uneventful lately. Same Stress Same garbage, different day. I've taken on an artsy-ish project. I havent done anything crafty in years so who knows how it will turn out. Its kind of an experiment. I'm going to attempt to make a purse out of pop tops!

I have some awesome florescent rainbow yarn and I'm stringing the poptops. I will stitch them together after i make a few strings of them.

Here's an example of what they turn out like. I'm sure mine wont look anything like this though! I suppose I could do a belt or a necklace. How bout a bra?! :)

So other big news, its almsot my birthday!! I'm turning 26. Which of course rounds up to 30 so basically I'm turning 30 in 2 weeks! CRAZY!! I'm getting so old. I went birthday shopping last night with my momma and she bought me a new coat. Dude, this coat was only $15!! I know its not the most flattering coat, or the most high fashion. But dude, $15 bucks! Can't beat it :) Look how cheesy and happy and cute!

Ok....so this is old news, but I have the cutest nephew EVER! He's not even 3 years old and he's the smartest little kid I've ever seen! He is so adorable and I love his little voice! He has the cutest giggle. :) Just as Bobby said, his smile could make anyone feel better!


Tickles!!!
More randomness...I've decided my favorite flower is the lily. I had no idea how many kinds of lillies there were! Oriental, Sego, Water, etc. TONS! And I love them. :)
If I ever get married again, I think I'd definitly consider these!

So, I got in a car accident last week. I am so tired of accidents. It seems like my car has a great big target sign saying "HIT ME!" I've decided I need a new car because I'm invisible in mine. I'm thinking something big, bright, maybe even red. I need something NOTICEABLE! I need a vehicle that people will SEE...something like......
A hot red LIFTED jeep!

I know I'm slightly biased because I am pretty much the coolest person I know...but dang I'd look hot in this jeep!! I would need a freaking rope ladder to get in the thing, but I would seriously look hot! :)

On another really random note...I love random pics of lips. I have an entire folder on my computer dedicated to just pictures of cool eyes or lips. I found a few with sprinkles that I thought were pretty fun.


I thought to myself, how hard can that be? So I put some gewy lip gloss and a bit of honey to try and do it myself. Yeah....I didnt work very well. I guess the term "dont quit your day job" applies here....I dont think I have lip modeling (or any modeling) in my future......

LOL ok that just looks gross.....they're all falling off. I had sprinkles EVERYWHERE when I was attempting to do this. :-S

So yeah... I wont be quitting my day job. :)

Am I jumpin around all nimbly bimbly from tree to tree?

So... I was telling my buddies about this video clip the other day so I just HAD to post it. Its from the movie "Super Troopers." These highway patrolman get bored on the job so they make up games. In this clip they are trying to break the record of saying "meow" at least 10 times in a conversation with the guy they pulled over. Its so classic!

Meow you listen up! :)
