BYU 14, Oklahoma 13

So I think it took until this weekend to really feel that I wasn't in Utah. At BYU. Last night (night, my time....afternoon BYU time) was the first football game of the season. We don't have cable, so that made it REALLY difficult to watch the game. Fortunately, by the time the middle of the 3rd quarter rolled around, I found on ESPN's website a place where you can watch the plays. Live. So you get the score and the plays, but nothing else. No band, no crowd, not even the commercials. No players, no insane BYU fans painted blue, and no coaches. Just the plays. But I took it, seeing as it was all I could get. I was texting Brianne the entire time I was watching, and I was going CRAZY. I was on the edge of my seat....and when we got a touchdown, I still jumped up and down and screamed. It was almost like I was there...oh wait, no it wasn't. I went crazy when we won! What a game. What a stressful, intense, game. And here I am, in little Nashua NH.

So yup. I realized last night just how much I miss BYU. I LOVE that place. I love BYU football too. And I love all my dear friends who are there. Good thing I talked to a few of them yesterday...but Miss Rachelle wouldn't answer her phone, the bum! I really need to talk to her ASAP, too. Silly girl. Well...I miss you all. Lots. From 2500 miles away, this is me saying I LOVE YOU to my BYU friends (not just them, but all my friends who are out in Utah right now), and GO COUGS!!!!!!!!!!!! My blood is blue. No one can argue with that.

10 Things I love about Hannaford

So originally I was going to do this in sarcasm...but then decided that I could actually come up with 10 things (in no specific order) I like about my job. Even though being a cashier at a grocery store is not ideal, it's a job, and...well, you'll see. 1. Going on break with my dad sometimes. Because, you know, we work in the same store. It's pretty cool. 2. I love the people I work with soooooo much! Mainly the ones during the day, because I don't know any of the high school kids that work evenings, because I rarely work evenings. 3. Being the "party animal". nuff said. 4. Watching a cashier ID someone for alcohol, and him telling us that he doesn't even have a photo ID since his license was taken away for DWI. Yeah, maybe he should rethink his purchase... 5. Now when I hear the name of a vegetable, I automatically think of its PLU. Dates: 3047. Cabbage: 4069. Bananas: 4011. Tree Ripe Peaches: 4044. Eastern Peaches: 4403. Nectarines: 4378.

Greased Lightning

It's snowing today! And what a great day it's been...minus the fact that I haven't finished nearly as much as I should have by now. But I DID go outside and play in the snow...and that's important! The snow was fresh in the tree....so I did what any little kid would do, and licked it. It was snow AND ice...good thing my tongue didn't freeze to the tree in my front yard! I love tree branches in the snow. There's just something about the combination of brown and pure white that strikes my artistic bone. Part of the tree and part of my house. Looking up Pennichuck Street. So picturesque. Me in my getup...I borrowed Michael's boots because I don't have any in NH (except for my cowboy boots....), and he gave me his snowshoeing boots, because they each weight like 5 pounds, and he just wanted to see me try to walk in them. My sunglasses made a comeback! Well, that's today. I've got a couple papers to write for English 316, and a bunch of Bio to r

You make me smile

Stanford Larsen:  One of my dearest friends.  Also one of the few people in this world who never let me down...ever.  Every time I think back to memories with him, i can't help but smile.  He has left a smile on my heart forever. Watermelon always makes me smile.  No other explanation needed. My cats make me smile.  They purr and are happy kitties. Snow of course.  Snow snow snow!  Snow angels, snowballs, snowmen, snow forts, snow fights, snow shoveling, snowfall, snow! My family.  They're all my best friends.  I couldn't ask for a better family...ever. Mater.  Cars.  The music in the movie.  Watching the movie over and over again, on rainy or sunny days.  Lots of memories that go with this movie, too. Country.  Country music.  Country dancing.  Country movies.  Nashville.  Country stars.  Cowboys.  One in particular.  All of these things make me smile like I'd never smiled before I found them.  I want to be this! :) Lots of things make me smile. Lots
