Oh, nothing’s sweeter than summertime...

In only a matter of hours I will be sitting under the big blue sky.

 breathing in summer air. 

listening to this song (a long with many others)

 & people singing along.

kickin it with good people.

eating good food.

drinking good drinks.

and singing and dancing the night away

to the music I love most. 

If you're still wondering what i'm talking about

let me help you out...

Sexy Tim McGraw...

Amazing Lady Antebelum

-That's right

I will be seeing these guys later tonight!

To prepare myself

i've been listening to them all day.

We are going a good 2 hours early to beat the rush

and to get our tail gating on before the show!

Have a great weekend!

oh- p.s.  

I have very exciting, very good news to share in the next week or so (whenever I get time)...

Details to come :)

The time has come

I have been meaning to post 25 random goodies about myself and just haven't gotten myself to do it.   So... here it is!  {megan you better be happy ;) }.  Here goes...

one.  I am probably one of the most random people you will meet.

two.  My weakness is being indecisive.  I've been trying to figure that out for quite some time now.

three.  I HATE making my bed.

four.  I LOVE doing laundry.  However, I don't do it enough.

five.  Secretly I want to be a hippie and throw pots and bowls on the wheel and paint and make art all day long.  Too bad i'm not awesome at this and would be poor.  I'll stick with my desk job {for now at least}.

six.  I love buying hygiene products like deoderant, tooth paste and shampoo & condish.

seven.  I don't REALLY know what I want to be when I grow up.  I've always had dental hygiene on the back of my mind, but i'll never know if it's what I do until I get there.  I also want to do hair, be an esthetician, and own either a coffee shop or a boutique on the side.  This is probably due to me being so indecisive.

eight.  I don't know why, but I ALWAYS try to do whatever I can to not have to buy a parking pass each semester for school.  I will try and dodge that man who ruins my life every class until he gives me a ticket and then I go complain to the parking dept because students shouldn't have to pay for parking.  Ha.. it's my own fault, I know.

nine. My favorite number es el numero tres.  It has been since I was in 5th grade.  However, it never brings me any luck.  Maybe I should find a new number lol.

ten.  Speaking of luck, I never win anything. 

eleven.  Speaking of winning, I am not big into gambling.  When I go to Vegas, I go to shop, lay out and party.  I will however throw down $20 and sometimes get lucky, but I get too scared and would rather spend my money on a new shirt :)

twelve.  I am terrified of moths.  Just the big fat kind, and beetles that fly.  Seriously, don't get me started.

thirteen.  When I was little, I used to fart in public and blame it on people around me.  Worked everytime.  Don't worry, I grew up and learned how to be a girl.  Kind of ;)

fourteen.  I will NEVER be caught dead driving a mini van.  I however would rather ride in the back on a road trip then in a squashy car. note: no offense to you mini van drivers out there.  Keep it classy ;)

fifteen.  I am very comfortable in my own skin.  You would be surprised how many people look at me with confusion when they hear my last name and wonder why i'm white.  haha c'mon people!

sixteen.  I have too many favorite colors, too many favorite foods, and too many favorite hobbies to narrow them down to one.  Maybe because i'm indecisive!  {I don't think there's anything wrong with being indecisive is there? My BF might think so...}

seventeen.  I have a foot fetish.  I don't necessarily want to touch them, but I want to see them. haha

eighteen.  I hate spending a lot of money at one time on clothes.  I spent $200 one time, and returned a lot of the things the next day because it makes me sick.  However, I don't mind buying pants one day and shoes the next, equaling over $150.  I've never understood why lol.  But.. I will find myself making random large purchases on electronic things with no problem.

nineteen.  I have a thing for red heads ;)  Especially for one particular boy...

twenty.  I am terrified to have children. But I want 1 girl and two boys. 

twenty-one.  I love painting my finger nails and toes, I used to hate it.

twenty-two.  In my next life I want to have a quarter sleeve (short sleeve?) tattooed on one arm. 

twenty-three.  My two favorite things to do {but NEVER do them anymore:( } are go to Warped Tour and the Big Ass show and crowd surf, and go country dancing on thursday nights. 

twenty-four.  I feared I would never grow up and fall in love, I never knew it would happen so soon.  I couldn't be happier.  I don't think i'll ever think i'm old enough to get married.  Kids don't get married... how old am I again? tee hee

twenty-five.  I tend to get nervous talking to people and jumble my words because of it.  This is completely oppisite of how I used to be during and pre-high school.  I loved being the center of attention.

I could probably go on and on if I tried... but this is only twenty five things you get to know.  The rest is a MYSTERY.

Sun rise or Sun set?

So, I decided it's time to get back into the gym. 

I have taken quite the break from it and have no excuse but the truth...I am LAZY.  Sometimes getting into that routine is tough, ESPECIALLY during summer.  I would choose the pool over the gym ANY DAY.  But looking good while laying or sitting on the side of the pool is always a plus!  Unfortunately, there's only one way to do it.  Yep...

So, there are two girls in my class who work out at SLCC and they bust their butts doing it.  It's a lot easier working out with someone else so they invited me to come along and I had a lot of fun.  Esther and Grace are their names and they are the sweetest girls ever.  They moved here 9 years ago from Africa.  I interviewed Esther and after that we couldn't stop talking, we became instant friends :)  So, if any of you know of any really good work out plan, I would greatly appreciate it if you would bring it my way! 

My goal is to lose at LEAST 10 lbs.  I know, I know, you're all going to give me crap because to you I don't need to lose it, but maybe I just hide it well ;) but to ME, I could shed a few El bees or at least get toned.  I keep having to buy new clothes because my old ones are a little snug...I know that part of my problem is my job. Sitting here day by day with a cubby that tempts me to fill with food just doesn't help.  Hopefully soon, that will change.  Oh and also, I don't plan on stepping on a scale for a while because that just unmotivates me.  Maybe once a month as long as i'm stickin to my game plan.

So, as many of you may know, I drive to work around the 6:30-7:00 am time frame so I get to enjoy the sun as it is peeking over the mountains.  I'm not usually a morning person, but I really look forward to the drive to work just because of the view and how pretty it looks.  It's really peaceful, there is a nice morning breeze, all while I get my alone time in my car on my way to work.  I know this may sound lame but the feeling is unexplainable.

I also get the same feeling at the end of the day, when the sun is setting.  I'm pretty sure I love sunsets even more than I like watching the sun come up.  I don't usually drive home early enough to see the sun go down, but when I do I roll down my windows and fall in love all over again.  ahh..I'm sure the feeling is mutual ;)

Well, that's about it for this long boring post!

Today should be a good day. 
A good day from a good week.  Only 2 full days of work, who can complain?  In less than 3 hours I will be off to Lagoon, and on friday I will be going to St. George.  A softball saturated weekend it will be.  I'm totally ok with this, no complaints.  I love going places, anywhere, as long as there is sun, beach and/or a pool :) 

This last weekend consisted of everything that I wanted to do.  Hang with friends, hiking in the beautiful mountains, Sugar House street festival, and of course, FIREWORKS!  Oh.. and some shopping and studying on the side.  So for all of you, I hope your day is happy and great, I know mine sure will be.

love, cmar
