the one with family

i love chirstmas because of family
i get to be done with school
and spend time with the ones that matter

now a little off subject
i have spent time with my cousin sam today
who i call SJ because he is soooo
like SJ from the blindside

i have two really good quotes from him

he was doing some work for my gramie
and he said "how much am i gonna get paid?"
she said "$20"
he then said "i'm LDS, not payless"
he's such a trip

then as we were coming back from church
i had radio disney playing and justin beiber's baby came on
i said hey sam do you know who this is?
and he said "yeah, it's justin swearword"
oh sam, thank you for restoring my faith in your generation

your generation
that is in love with "justin swearword"
and a little skank named hannah montana
and all the crazies

you sam will be one of our hopes!

the one with the nativity puzzle

december is the only time that my favorite puzzle,
one i could do for ours and not get bored,
makes it's appearence

it's seriously the coolest and i wish i had a picture
[cue me googling it, and finding it]
so this one is kind of lame, but you get the picture. 

as far as i can remember mom made them
at an enrichment night, or something like that
for tons of people, cause my grama has one

but mom's are cooler, mom's are painted so you
see the faces of the wise men, shepherds, mary and joseph.
and you see jesus in the manger (the little yellow thing, in the corner)
and behind the animals it looks like a stable

i'll have to take a picture when i'm home
but i love it because my mom made it
and because it's a really cool way to remember
that christmas is all about Jesus

the one with pumpkin pie

i'm not really a fan of pie
and i don't love pumpkin pie either
but if i'm going to eat any pie
it's going to be pumpkin and homemade

but dad's pumpkin pie,
which i think is his grama's recipe,
is so stinking good!

i don't eat the crust,
just the filling
but it is heaven

dad only makes it this time of the year
and it makes me think of christmas
and family
and that's why i love it

the one with temple square at christmas

so this is a picture of my friend amy and i
at temple square sunday night after the devo
at the reflection pool by temple square

this is perhaps one of my best pictures EVER
the fog that night made everything beautiful

but everything is covered at temple square in lights!
it looks so beautiful
and it just makes me happy

the one with the first presidency christmas devotional

so each year the
first presidency of
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
gives a christmas devotional

i kind of feel like it's the kick off to the season
and it reminds me of the real meaning
of my favorite holiday
[besides my birthday]

but the reason i love it the most
is because my mom loves it
and it reminds me of her
and then i feel a little bit closer
like 1,750 miles closer

this year, like last year, i had tickets
to the conference center for it
which i tried to bribe my mom with,
she didn't take it :(

but it's okay cause she watched it at home
and it made me feel close

like in this song kenny loggins sang,
at least i think it was him,
a song that had this in it
"And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star"

it helped me to know that we were watching the
same devotional

the one with december's theme

so now that my blogging for a month is over
what am i to do?

i was thinking a picture a day
and why i took it
but i want it to be christmas-y
[so i'll have to save the picture idea for another month]

and i'm just not feeling
all christmas-y here in utah
i'm over the snow!
and i'm over the cold

i am dreaming of a warmer christmas
one on the other side of the country
which is almost 2,000 miles away
[yes i mapquested it]

so here it is
my theme for this month
a reason i love christmas
each day i'll list something new
and i'll probably expound on it!
ready, set, go!

day 31 - the one with a habit i wish i didn't have

i wish i didn't say mean things

when people bother me,
to someone i'm friends with
and i know i can trust,
i say things...sometimes really mean
sometimes stuff they totally deserve
but i still shouldn't say anything
i should just keep my mouth shut
which is why it will be part of my new years resolution


Friday, December 3, 2010

day 30 - the one with my favorite song

so if you couldn't tell yet
i'm indecisive

which is why one song is WAY to hard for me
so i've decided on a genre

which is...drum roll please
the 80's!

they are definitely my favorite
that was the good stuff
and it's all thanks to my dad
that i love the stuff

day 29 - the one with what i've learned in the last month

let me preface this by saying distinguishing
a month of me is too hard
so i'm gonna do this semester

i've learned that math can kick my butt
if i let it
but the tutoring lab is my best friend

i've learned that being friends with
everybody is not worth it

i've learned to stay no
when i just can't do things

i've learned that i'm most happy
when i'm with family

and i've learned that
one moment can make a difference
in someone's life

day 28 -the one with picture of me from last year and now and how i've changed

so this is as close to a year as i can get
which is like last october-ish

well let me re-phrase this
the only one that is blog worthy

i'm sure i have more on my laptop but 
my laptop is kind of out of commission
and facebook lost like three months of pictures

i've changed because now i'm out of the plaza
woo-hoo! 
i've had an AMAZING roommate!
and i would still be living with her
if she wasn't going on a mission to switzerland!
isn't that super cool?!?

i also work a lot harder
and manage my money better now

i'm more appreciative of what
people do to me

i have a better sense of humor
and am more comfortable with myself

Tuesday, November 30, 2010

day 27 - the one where i say why i'm doing this

i'm doing this because
i need to blog more
because i don't blog enough

and when i blog
i then check out my favorite blogs

oh and i'm also doing this because
it seemed like a good idea

Monday, November 29, 2010

day 26 - the one with what i think about my friends

i have friends of all different ages
and for this i'm gonna talk about 
the ones closest in age to me

i think i pick people who aren't the best friends
i pick people who are fair weather friends
the ones who have good friends
and i'm just an 'acquaintance to them'

people who flake or bail
people who would rather hang with different people
and frankly i'm done
which is why i've kind of become a recluse

Sunday, November 28, 2010

day 13 - the one with a letter to someone who has hurt me

dearest person,

i remember when i met you
i was working and you needed help
and the rest is history

you were the kind of person i wanted to be
you made me want to be better

me you and becca became bff's 
and then winter semester came
and we were hot potatoes
for all these new people

 then when this fall started
you wanted to be friends and i said okay
and it's been nothing but flaking on your part
and it may or may not p*** me off

and then you wonder why we don't hang out
and i don't want to be the needy friend
so i don't say anything about it

but i'm done being an idiot
and letting you make plans and then bail
i'm done and i don't want to be done with you
because maybe i melt when i'm around you

sincerly,
ellie

so this one's kinda hard
because due to the fact that my laptop
is at home and i have no internet there

so we'll turn to my handy, dandy iPhone!

bored
i'll pretty much listen to anything that's on my iPod
or if i have my iTunes up i try to listen to the stuff
that i don't listen to as much

happy
pretty much anything on my iPod
most of it's really happy music
especially my disney stuff
or glee!

sad
i listen to slow songs
or songs about people being sad
like almost lover by fine frenzie
or church stuff cause then i feel all warm inside
mad
i listen to stuff that is upbeat
and not cheery cause that just makes me even more mad
mostly like hey monday
avril lavigne

hyped
i listen to a couple of playlists
my GNO playlist that becca made
[which is currently not on my iPhone]


on a side note
my favorite songs right now
mine by taylor swift
maybe, possibly by megan and liz
parachute by ingrid michaelson
elevator by david archuleta

day 9 - the one where i share something i'm proud of in the past few days

so my iPhone charging chord, not the adapter
has been falling apart
and it worries me, since i don't want something to blow up

so i made an appointment at apple's genius bar
the name alone is super cool
but back to the story, i made the appointment
and went over and told them of my woe's 
and i got a new charging chord for FREE!

all because i was nice! and was calm
which when things break and it's not my fault i kinda
get mad and want my way...

THEN i talked to one of the mac pros
and I became educated when it comes to Mac's
which makes me happy because now i'm 
making an educated decisions, I am getting a MacBook Pro
