A Headless Chicken Day

Do you ever have those days when you feel like you're running around like a chicken with your head cut off? (Only without the pain and the anticipation of falling over dead.) I know we all have those days. Today was one of those for me. Except usually when I have headless chicken days I get quite stressed and annoyed. But not today! I decided the reason I was just so happy and energetic was because of the soundtrack playing through my head all day. I mean, it only makes sense that with a crazy day with so much going on, you should have a crazy song to go along with it.

That's not just me is it? Do normal people get songs in their head that portray the emotion they are feeling? For example, almost every time I'm sad, I immediately think of Relient K's Up and Up and it makes me feel so much better:) Then when I'm mad I think of Emery's The Smile, the Face or What I've Done by Linkin Park. Anyway, today the song was Headdress by Amazing Baby. It's so busy and makes me feel like i'm spinning in circles in the middle of the freeway with red and purple ribbons blowing in the wind all around me. Yeah weird I know, but it's an awesome song.

So please listen, and do tell what you feel:) or what one of your go-to mad or sad songs is. I'd love to hear:)

LOVE THEM

You must watch this video. MUST!!

Paper Route has been one of my favorites for a long time, and they seriously just keep continuing to amaze me. The whole mix of everything they do is just fantastic. The melodies, their use of unique instruments, their indie, electronic, "ambient" style, the way they make you actually feel every note and lyric, is just mind- blowingly beautiful. Even all the band members are amazingly sweet. At their last concert I went to, they didn't have time to play one of my favorite songs called "Last time", so JT promised to play it the next time they came to salt lake, and to dedicate it to me! He even wrote his twitter on my hand so we could keep in touch and he would remember. Now if that's not going above and beyond to make a fan happy, then what is?! Seriously, these guys are absolutely incredible, and I will be number one fan forever. So, to help them out, please watch this video. It is for one of their best songs; "Gutter", and it's amazing. They have a goal to get 12,500 views by july 4th! Let's help them get there!! Also, please listen to "Are we all forgotten". The lyrics and message are beautiful, and just so inspiring. love.

babies babies babies

This past week I have been babysitting from 7:30 am to 7:30 pm. I. am. going. crazy!! Don't get me wrong, I do love kids, but there's just so many of them!! By the time I get home each day, all I want to do is shower, eat a popsicle, and go to sleep. But, also it has been pretty fun. They're all actually quite good children, and are pretty adorable. One little girl looks like she should be in my family cus of her white blond hair. I LOVE it when little kid's have hair that is so white-blond it's practically transparent! So beautiful! -eliseila

If you don't know this song, you should. It somehow finds it's way into my head at least once every single day. I guess it's magic:) actually, i know it is.

raindrops on roses

So the other day it rained in here in my St. george. Crazy, you say? Yeah. I know. But it was SO MUCH FUN!!! I was unaware of the beautiful little droppies coming down until i opened the door to let my puppy out, and there it was..RAIN! So i quick grabbed Celina and we dashed outside to do the rain dance. Yes, I know that is usually done to make it rain, but i like to do the rain dance WHILE it is raining. The rain dance usually consists of legs and arms flailing around as if independent from my body, followed by a quick sprint in the middle of the road to the end of the block and back, then more dancing in the driveway.
The only rule of rain dancing is that you can not wear shoes. Or a coat. Sometimes you can have an umbrella, but only if it is a really stunningly awesome one, (like my clear one, Clarinova). So after dancing,running, skipping, prancing, twirling, and swinging in the rain, we decided to head back inside. It was so fabulous to run back inside absolutely dripping with that magnificent rain water. Mom says it's a very good natural conditioner. Of course it is:) The next day Stephanie and Audrey came home for the weekend! We pretended it was father's day then since they cant come home this weekend for real fathers day. But i thought it was so fun, and my dad was so surprised!! :) I loved having my whole family at home with me. Those are always the best days; days when we can all relax, and just hang out together with good food, and hilarious conversations. Let's face it, my family is hilarious, and i just love them soo much!!

This girl is definitely invited next time we rain dance. But only if she brings her umbrella/spaceship:)

To cut or not to cut. That's the REAL question.

So since about December I have been wanting to cut bangs. And not the swoopie kind. The thick, blunt adorable kind. However, I still have not cut them. Usually if I want to do something so life-changing I have to think about it for a while. Then what happens is that I just have a dream about it, and then I'm decided. With this bangs issue, I had a dream that I finally went to get my bangs cut. I loved them and thought they were so adorable, and was so happy. But soon that happy balloon was BURST! The next day (still in my dream) I went to work, and EVERYONE had the same bangs!! WHAT?! I was so so so so so mad, and I woke up from the dream sweating with tears in my eyes and my arms wrapped protectively around my head. So as you can guess, I decided NOT to cut bangs. I feel like it's just a trend, and though I know quite a few beauties that look marvelous with blunt bangs, it's just not for me. I hate being on trend. Though how I wanted to cut my bangs was not really the trendy kind. More the Joan Jett kind. But still. :) Anyway, it's good to get that out. Phew...



See? Her bangs are so so cute on her! Plus her outfit?? B.E.A.utiful!!
p.s. I don't remember where i found this pic, so if you know, please comment so i can give credit to who's it is:)
