Because it's fun

I've seen this on several random blogs that I read (blogs of people I don't know...I'm such a stalker sometimes...but not a creepy one...no, really), and it looked like fun. You can do one too, if you want :)

Stuff of absolutely no consequence

Sometimes we watch the show How It's Made on Discovery. It's pretty cool most of the time. Last night one of the segments was about "sanitary napkins." It was weird. But interesting. They even gave instructions for how to use them...personally, I think it's pretty self-explanatory! But it cracked me up. Is it appropriate to talk about this on a blog? Oh well, I just did!

Last night we were hanging out with my friend Christina. She wanted to go to Best Buy to get the Iron Man DVD that just came out. While we were there, we also looked at all the awesome Disney movies that are currently available (does anyone else have a problem with the "Disney Vault"? Because I think it's dumb that they lock away their movies and then charge so much for them when they finally release them again for a short time!) and I just couldn't resist buying one of my favorite movies I used to watch as a girl -- Bedknobs and Broomsticks with the fabulous Angela Lansbury (also the voice of Mrs. Potts of Beauty and the Beast) and David Tomlinson (Mr. Banks on Mary Poppins)! Awesome. And it was one of the cheaper Disney movies. I watched it last night, too. Husband thinks it's ridiculous, but I love it.

Did you know it was based on a book? From what I remember, it isn't much like the book, but they're both good. In 4th grade I did one of my book reports on it (we had to do one every couple of weeks). If we made some sort of visual aid, we got extra points. I made a bed and painted one of the knobs yellow instead of brown. It was a pretty amazing bed, if I do say so myself.

A few months ago I blogged about how I kept hitting my head on stuff. I am pleased to say that I am recovered from that disease now, but it must be contagious, because Husband's got it! He's hit his head at least 3 times in the last 3 days. Since he laughed at me, I feel justified laughing at him. That's wrong of me, very wrong. I'll be nice now. But it is pretty funny!

There are a lot of links in this post. Sorry.

Random Observations

Here are a couple of things that I saw on campus the other day.

(1) The quickest way to get to my Monday afternoon class is through the BYU Bookstore. The other day as I approached the entrance (for those of you who know the layout, I'm talking about the one by womens' clothing), I saw a line of people blocking the doorway. After a struggle to get through, I looked over to see what was the holdup. I saw a woman holding a camera facing a man and two women posing for a picture. All the people in the doorway were standing in line for a picture! Since I couldn't see who it was, I looked around for a sign. And then I wanted to go back and stand in line. Because, "OH MY HECK IT'S KIRBY HEYBORNE!!" I'm being sarcastic here. But it really was Kirby. I'm just not that silly :)

(2) Some people have absolutely no sense of what items of clothing should and should not be worn together, even when they're trying to keep up with current "fashion" (I use that term loosely because what is "fashionable" or "trendy" right now is really awful). Case in point: I saw a girl who was wearing this ensemble:
-shiny/sparkly mustard yellow flats/sneakers
-black and white diagonally checked asymmetrical knee-length skirt
-bright pink tshirt
-purple chunky necklace
-bright blue scarf wrapped several times tightly around her neck and tied there
-early 90s glasses, and I'm pretty sure the glass was fake.
Personally, I don't think that any of these pieces should be worn, ever, let alone in combination! But I'm not judging her. I just think she's a little...misguided. And this sort of thing is normal!

I'm an awful person. Shame on me.

An update

It's been a couple of weeks since I actually sat down to write a blog post. But, I have been keeping a list! So hold onto your hats, people, because it's going to be a whirlwind of a ride!

Or probably not.

My life isn't that exciting.

But there will be several posts coming in the next few days, so watch out for 'em.

PS to Jenilee - You've commented on my last post ... what, 3 times? Sorry about that. Now when you have a reply to some comment I make on one of your posts, you have somewhere new to put it! Hurrah!

Bug bites

I have three of them. On my face.

One is on the side of my nose, almost in the corner of my eye.

The other two are right next to each other, smack in the middle of my forehead.

They itch.
