seventeeeeeeeeen

frick. when will this blog challenge be over? i have a.d.d.

day 17. 5 things you are looking forward to the rest of the year.


1. summer. no more ice chilling son-of-a-b mornings where your breath freezes mid-exhale and you have to pray you wont slip on the way to school and break a vertabrae. hopefully i'll get a killer tan & maybe get skinny again so i can wear a bathingsuit and not be mistaken for a small whale.

2. possible summer nanny job... i'll update on that later. don't wanna jinx it, but crossing my fingers for awesomeness.

3. starting my practicum(internship) for social work in the fall and starting my senior year of college! i cannot wait! i'm either going to go to the hospital & hopefully work in the women&children unit, orrrrrrrrrr be a social worker at a temporary jail for naughty kids. i just am beaming with excitement, total seriousness. wherever they place me..i'll be stoked about it.

4. i'm really excited for the movie jane eyre that comes out in march/april? i dont know. but my family ( minus my dad) LOOOOOVE the book/ bbc movie and i just am so stoked to see it.

5. uhmm. definitely excited for my masquerade ball i'm putting together for my service organization. i will post pictures for sure. its going to be the best time EVER.


badda bing badda boom, day 17..more than halfway over with this challenge. not that any of you read this.. well..minus my roommates and my sisters. i'm gonna go to bed so i can wake up and get an education. kthxBAI


and.. heres a funny picture.
 floating llama? check.

Bieber-Gilman..

My roomies have the bieber fever. When i was making fun of them for singing along to his youtube, i said he was "Almost as bad as that pre-pubescent Billy Gilman kid."
wrong. thing. to. say.
my livingroom then proceeded to sing the full version of, 'one voice was heard' and now i wish i kept my mouth shut and just listened to their 'aww he is so adorable!' and..'i cant wait for his movie to come out, i'm gonna go at midnight!' and.. 'its not creepy to be totally obsessed with a 16 year old..' comments about the Bieb.

(for those of you who dont remember, about 10 years ago Billy Gilman was a one-hit-country-wonder who often mistaken for a five year old girl desperately in need of orthodontic care.)


i'll admit to everyone and anyone,
Bieber > Gilman

bieb is wayyyyy cuter than creepy billy gilman, i'll admit that too. (i cant believe i'm 21 and just professed that to the blogworld. i'm in college. its late. i need to go to bed.)


bottom line, put em in a cage together and i'd root for Bieber. but thats the only exception.



ps...just in case you were wondering,
what do you get when you cross a post-puberty gilman with a bieber hairstyle?

thanks google images.

Day 16. Post a picture of you when you were young.

yup. hat, gloves and handbag.

day 15- island

day 15. If you were stranded on an Island, who would be with you and which limited 10 items would you two have?



 
Well lets see. If i were stranded on an island, i would want to be with.. my future husband. whomever that may be. (am i allowed to do that? yes. its my blog. my island. i'm allowed.) so, me and my husband would chill out, get a tan, and swim around with exotic fish. how un-scary and great would it be if you were stranded with the L.O.Y.L?
 
i would bring:
 
1.an ax (to cut open coconuts and chop down trees to make a tropical cottage for us)

2. sunscreen spf 100000.
 
3. razor. necessary. ever seen my dad? i got his genes.
 
4. a hammock built for two.
 
5. my fishing gear (for food of course)
 
6. swimmysuit
 
7. matches
 
9. soap & shampoo. infinite amount. 
 
10. flippidy flops. nothing worse than scorched feet.
 

 

i'd say i'm pretty ready for survival? yeah?

fourteeeeen

day 14. Your favorite quote.


well. this one is posted right by my door in my room so i see it everyday when i leave. i'd say it has become my fav over the past year. yes, its from 1953. awesome. enjoy :)

“A beautiful, modest, gracious woman is creation’s masterpiece. When to these virtues a woman possesses as guiding stars in her life righteousness and godliness and an irresistible impulse and desire to make others happy, no one will question if she be classed among those who are truly great.”
-David O. Mckay

Falk- Must've been me

day one three

day 13. take a picture of the contents of your purse. explain if needed.


well. i would... but you see, i have probably 3 purses i play duck duck goose with day by day..but somehow i always end up dumping all my junk into the front pocket of my backpack. wanna know what it contains? well i'll tell you. nothing exciting:

wallet.
camera in a christmas sock.
lipgloss/chapstick
gum.
glasses case.
pens that dont work.
lotion i never use.
more pens.
gum wrappers.
garbage.
old gum i spit out into wrappers..

not very cool stuff like normal girls. :/


but...the purse i DO take out to a night/event where it is important enough for me to put makeup on.. is this little beauty.
 
 

 

classy, eh? love it. thanks ol st. jackieclause!

 

 

ps i cant believe i'm only on day 13. gauhhhgh. i have to finish...only because if i don't i'll be pissed at myself that i wasnt even able to finish a dumb blog challenge. fail.

Mormon Mommy-Bloggers

i found this link on yet another girl's blog i stalk way too often... thought it was kind of interesting. Those of you who know me know that i just eat this crap up..i looooove nienie & other mormon crafty cutesy blogs.

Whaddyou think?

(I'm sure only my sisters will read this, but do it.)
 
 
(and dont even worry that i plan on going to hobby lobby and crafting today. hahaha.)

time for change..+ kiddies

ok you guys. i need to change my blog name. it has bothered me since uhm, senior year of highschool...but that was the most creative thing i could think of. so, readers, suggest away before i think of something just as lame or lamer- than bloggiebloggieblog.

------------------------

in other news: i love kids. wanna know why? they say hilarious things. today i was driving corb to tumbling..and we were rocking out to the lion king soundtrack in the truck..annnd we sort of got into it alot like we do when i put classical music on and we pretend to be some big-shot composer and over dramaticize everything (is that a word?)  Anyways, being you know, crazy and dancing, singing, etc.after a minute corbin stopped, but i was still pretending i was Zazu the responsible, british-bird... and this is what happened.

Corbin finally turned the stereo down...and i kept rockin out. he silently looked at me, and started poking my arm while i was singing. i looked at him...and he gave me the serious eyes..

Corbin: i wish there was a button to turn this down...

(yes. i have been muted by a 9 year old.)

also....when i was at tumbling with him, i was watching with the parents like i always do up in the viewing area, and there is this ADORABLE girl named sarah who is two years old who comes in every week to watch her big brother and sister tumble. (she looks EXACTLY like my sister Jackie did when she was little.)
anyways, this little girl, has the funniest, sassiest vocabulary ever. But, she'll only be my friend when i smile and compliment her, so i did. Mind you, she is TWO!!

Me: Thats pretty lipstick sarah! Is it your moms?
(she inches over to sit by me..)

Sarah: (glopping on sparkly lipgloss) Thank you! Um, its my moms.

Me: Prettttttyyyy!

Sarah: I have my finger nails painted, they are pink. Look at my nails! Do you have your toes painted?

Me: Yeah but you cant see right now cuz i have shoes and socks on.
(sarah takes off her velcro shoes and shoves her little toes by me)

Sarah: Big sarah painted them and they match my fingers, see? they are pink.

Me: Pretty! How old are you again?

Sarah: I'm 2. I'm a big girl. But i was just naughty a minute ago and i didnt get a quarter and my mom spanked me cuz i was bad.
(mom awkwardly laughs and says 'ohhhh she's telling lies..')

Sarah: But I'll listen next time. And guess what, I'm a big girl so I'm pottytrained, except for the other day i pooped and peed in my underwear.

potty-trained at TWO!? i wasn't potty trained till at least 3... and i remember at the age of possibly after 3, I pooped and peed in my underwear cuz i was too busy playing outside to care about proper toilet training. what the heck!?

day 12. A thought for the day.

umm i have too many thoughts/quotes.

 i'm going to post a bunch soon hopefully.

but..

thoughts = lyrics, which = songs... so thoughts = kinda count for songs, right? :/

that sounded really stupid. i'm not a moron usually.

anyway.. heres some wonderfulness from some of my very best friends.

i just love this. and i love their beautiful voices.

and i just love them.

 they WOULD be able to cover a catchy  9.71-ish song with semi-awkward lyrics (if sung the wrong way),

into a beautiful little nugget.

eleben + hyperbole and a half

Day 11. Nicknames I have; why do I have them


hmmmmmmmm.........

cole- all my friends call me this...so much that i dont really realize it. i answer more to 'cole' than 'nicole' . and when my close friends call me 'nicole' its weird.

coley-pokie- from the movie 'the other side of heaven'. i cant remember who started calling me this.. tami? dad? i dont know, but its funny whenever someone says it. i sort of wish they referred to me as 'feki'

 boo- this started out as a joke with a certain someone, but now he uses it more than he uses my real name. in fact, when he says my name, its weird.

nico- i think this one is used by my sister jackie, because we talk in speech impediments and/or like babies when we are with eachother.

coley- my sisters called me this when i was a widdle gul.

Ni-co-lito- (knee-cole-eeto)- my dad has odd names for us all. (jackelbuckybear, tambam, kristizzle, nicolito, and meeshell. wow. now that i write them out, they are WEIRD. ha. love it.) usually he yells them when the phone is for us, and i can only wonder what the person on the other line is thinking. once, someone heard my dad say "nicolito! tele-phhoooonnneee" in sort of a 'dad-accent' and they asked if he was mexican. No, he is not.

nikki- when i was fat, in the 5th grade, this was my 'new name'. i always tried to change my name, i dont know why..i was a weirdo..(when i was 4 i was convinced i would legally change my name to Kimberly The Pink Power Ranger as soon as i turned 18). anyways, there are a few of my friends who call me 'nikki' just to tick me off......its funny now. but still. nikki- ek. reminds me of a pigtail-wearin, overall-sporting, sketchers-wearin annoying 5th grader who wont shut up. aka- me

nikkipants143- this may or may not be my gamer tag :/

in other news, i laughed my pants off today in science class reading THIS blog post. click it. you wont regret it.

break from 30 day..

okay. so this is what has been goin on in my life.

• i'm doin Jillian Michaels 30 day shred. im gonna lose 20 pounds in the next while, snitches. i'm serious. no more nadeene, the fat girl. i'm 21, at my PRIME and should be beautiful and thin. so i need to lose weight, get healthy, and put on makeup for heavens sake.

• i did squats with corbin on my back the other day. we laughed so hard.

• friends of the elderly is going wonderfully, and i'm mad i havent blogged about it more. tonight i talked alot with a man who has polio, married 'the sweetest woman who ever lived' and gave me advice about living a happy life. i also talked with marion, born in norway and cute as a button. i just love my group. they make me so happy..i cant even tell you how glad i am i have this opportunity

• classes are okay. lots of reading textbooks which i'm not good at...but my program is great and i'm so excited for my profession. it feels so right and i just love learning how to help people. there are so many different things i could go into...adoptions, international work, elderly care, medical, criminal, rehab groups, and sooo many more. my practicum assignment is coming up soon, (where i'll be interning next year) and i'm super excited. but when i told my dad i wanted to maybe go do juvinile probation, he said i'd get shot. ha.

• i'm watching titanic.. and i think i should have been born back then. the dresses..the fabulous hats.. the red lipstick. COME ON!

•  i need a job for the summer... anyone know of any sweet nanny jobs? mucho money? in a mucho awesome place?

• for christmas i got another lovey dovey book, "Love Letters of Great Men". its great and i think i've mentioned it on here before. men back then used to be classy and they used to write letters to their loves. exerpt? sure.

 My angel, I have just been told that the mailcoach goes every day - therefore I must close at once so that you may receive the letter at once - Be calm, only by a calm consideration of our existence can we achieve our purpose to live together - Be calm - love me - today - yesterday - what tearful longings for you - you - you - my life - my all - farewell. Oh continue to love me - never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved.

ever thine
ever mine
ever ours

-Beethoven

sigh.

•  today christy left a funny, but serious ad on the table for me to see.

"MISSING: Rocco the 3 legged jack-russel.
He is a special needs dog, and there will be a reward!! 
He has three legs and is has a serious condition called hemophelia, so please find him!!!"
rofl

• and, guess what i found out. random fact: the voice actress who played 'snow white' was never allowed to be in another movie by disney, because she was so ugly they didnt want snow's image to be ruined. HA. cruel.

anyways, goodbye.
