So I've been married for almost three months and my husband didn't even know I had a blog...prolly cause I haven't written on it for over two years! How pathetic is that?!!! But someday when we have a bunch of kids I'll have something to write about...

on the set

2007-11-19T18:47:00.000-08:00

So here I am on the set to this movie, called "The Jerk Theory" half exhausted half bored... I'm either running around a million miles a minute or standing guard next to the director&director of photography waiting to fix something in any given scene. I'm the art department intern... So sorta a gopher girl if you will... I didn't realize I could blog on my blackberry. All this wasted time... I just wish I had a camera to help me out, blogging is so much more fun when there's pics! Especially ones of movie stars on the set of a hollywood movie. My brother wrote the script and is producing it, that's where my hook-up comes from. Today were on location at Thanksgiving Point, the dinasour museum and petting zoo, it's been a long day for these little peeps... SAG (screen actors guild) allows the actors to work 12 hour days... We started at 11 a.m. So that means I'll be here til past midnight... My little sisters are excited about their first film! My boss is pretty cool, he's the art director, so we're doing props, set dressing, etc. So so so much fun! I'm learning a million different new things daily. This is a whole new world for me, I could totally be into doing this... The whole crew is amazing... There are about 30 people behind the camera... Isn't that amazing, and this is low budget... I can't imagine what the real multi-million dollar films in Hollywood would be like!

my new favorite treat!

2007-10-19T19:15:00.000-07:00

Okay this is by far the best thing ever! Simple oreo cookies, slightly melted, cut up into bit size bits, and topped with creamy peanut butter! The best part about it is that I couldn't even eat it tonight. I'm in the middle of a little organic cleanse, and i feel great, but my friend here... loves sweets... I love being a gracious hostess!

I forgot how easy and fun blogging can be... I really should do it more often

I have done toooo many fun things since the last time I blogged... I don't know where to start

2007-05-30T21:52:00.000-07:00

So I guess I'll just start with the one thing that I think is so way dang cool.... and that is jumping off this damn... the highest bungy jumping in the world is in southern switzerland and it's 700 feet off the ground... when I was there almost 2 months ago I got to jump off it! It was by far the funnest thing I have ever, ever, ever done! I would recommend it to everyone I know!!! In the next few days I will hopefully have some time to add more pics from the trip... i told laur that I would blog tonight and therefore I am at least starting with this. PS if you want to see this in action just watch this first scene from James Bond Golden Eye... he does the same jump

it's freezing, but that's okay

2007-01-17T13:33:00.000-08:00

I just wanted to say that it hasn't gotten above frezzing for about ten days, which is some kind of record. But that is okay cause I will be spending a week in the sun, on a boat, with my friends, in the Carribbean! That makes everything okay right....I am so excited. I am pretty much checked out of school for now, I can't get my brain to think about this school stuff, I just need a break. I am already behind and plan on spending all semester catching up. Does that even make sense, one week of nonconcetration, one week of fun, and three months of catch up?

i love art of all kinds

2007-01-17T13:19:00.000-08:00

This is pretty random to post but i enjoyed my Zuihistu writing assignment and just wanted to say a little of where my mind goes when i think about art. I think the think that I like most about the painting is that there is just one color in the whole background. This neutral color space makes me think of paintings by Mark Rothko. Mark Rothko used several different tones of similar colors in his paintings but that is beside the point. I have a poster of one of his REDs hanging above my bed. I love the feeling of simplicity that it give off and I think that is why I can relate to this persimmons one. I love simple things. Okay well actually I love lots of different kinds of things.

I think I read somewhere that this painting symbolized perfect proportions or perfection in a way. I think that this would relate to how things can be perfect differently. Each of the pieces are different shapes slightly, in different positions and placed in an arrangement that seems to be random. They are the same fruit but are portrayed differently. I would like to relate that to people. We are all children of God, each fruit in the painting is a persimmon, also related to that is what I said earlier about how I think they were all painted with the same color of paint, we are all created by God. We are of different races all around the world but are created out of the same stuff by the same God. The fruits are different colors. The fruit is placed seemingly randomly, yet each is in the correct place to suggest harmony and perfection even if we don’t know it. Some of us know the purpose of life, like some of us know they are in perfect harmony with each other. Even though the human race seems to be mixed up and out of order that that certain people are in places unjust, we each have purpose where we are placed. We are to learn certain things about life where we are. The relationship that the fruit have one to another is interesting to me too, they are grouped, one is alone, two are together, and the third group has three. I don’t know what that could mean but I like the way it looks. I also really enjoy how the bulk of the painting is in the bottom middle section. I feel like it is as it should be. We are very far from what is above us and seem to be unconnected to what lays ahead or even above. We are here in existence and at times we feel unconnected to anyone or anything, like the bottom persimmon. Sometimes we are connected to just one other person or a few, but unless we step out side of the painting we don’t seem to be connected to a greater anything. I think that relates to having an eternal perspective. I like that even though the fruit is depicted with nothing else in the painting, they are grouped together. I would like to think of that as symbolizing the family of God being united. I think Heavenly Father would be happier with His children if we stuck together more often. I think of the times in the scriptures where it says that God wept, and it is often because of the way we aren’t loyal to our brothers and sister here on earth and treating them with love. As I look at the persimmons I feel like they are united, like they at least know each other is there vulnerably posing as well. I don’t think this painting is bare at all. I think there is a lot going on. I don’t know what it is about the color that I like so much, I feel like I want to hang it in my house. You know the type of artwork that you love to learn about but would hate on your wall in your personal space? Well this isn’t it. I love that as I have studied art I have grown to love all these random pieces and don’t even go together but that I would love to surround myself with. This painting is comfortable and inviting, seems simple on the surface but can really teach a lot. Things like that in general I love. I should have known I would like this painting form the beginning. Like gospel topics that seems simple like faith. Yet we are called to learn more about faith every day of our lives. The crazy thing is that as I learn more about faith I realize that it isn’t simple at all. I love stuff like that.

Whoa that was random and I kind of rambled but maybe at least Heid will read it, sometimes i get carried away and things end up not making sense, oops

I love BYU!

2006-10-16T19:00:00.000-07:00

I am at the best school in the world! I am so happy to be here at BYU. It's so much fun! I am taking kind of a full load, 18 hours and I'm not as focused as I could and should be. I am taking fun classes though, like architecture and Italian but still it doesn't help my grades just cause it's fun. I got a 76 on my last Italian quiz...and I am trying, some things just don't enter my brain...I don't know why I always try things that are exactly opposite from what my brain wants, or knows how to deal with. I guess I just like a challenge (maybe I shouldn't mess with my GPA for silly challenges). Oh well C's get degrees too, my brother-in-law always says. I'm not much for mediocrity though.

I got a pass at Gold's gym! I am so excited about it, I went five days last week!!!! I am so proud of myself. I gotta get started cause I'm going on a cruise in January, and I'd like to run a marathon next spring.

Last weekend I went to an art exhibit that completely inspired me. I love art, but sometimes I just forget that I really feel the need to make it! I am studying arthistory but think I should still be studying art. And sweet Heid agrees with me, we don't know why I'm studying art history?!!!

I want to get a degree fast is the bottom line!!! But then half of me says that I'll be so mad if I'm thirty and not married and I never went to medical school, so maybe i'll just switch my major to chemistry.... Anything can happen I guess.

It has been my goal lately to just crush on someone. I just wasn't seeing cute boys that i had fun with and the only guy I've like in the past three years is a butt and I was worried that I wouldn't like someone as much...but no worries there are cute boys everywhere it's all about attitude right! oh speaking of crushes...one of my roommates met this guy almost two weeks ago, she had a crush, they started hanging out for like ten days, then he took her to arizona to meet his parents and last night he gave her a ring...they are engaged having known eachother TWO FREAKEN WEEKS! That is scary, but whatev, haven't talked to her yet, we shall see.

It's fall and time to cook like it

2006-09-28T20:20:00.000-07:00

Chicken & Barely Soup

4 chicken breasts
½ cup barely
5 ½ cups chicken broth (made from chicken bullion)
3 stalk celery chopped
3 large carrots
2 chopped tomatoes
2 cloves garlic minced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
½ teaspoon basil
A dash of oregano, thyme, cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Add everything but parsley and bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat. Simmer 1 ¼ hour, remove chicken, cup up, and add to soup with parsley and serve.

Cream of Mushroom Soup

2 tablespoons granulated chicken bullion
1 ½ cubes butter
2 packages of mushrooms, chopped small
1 ½ cups flour
6 cups 1 % milk
1 pint of cream

Chop mushrooms very small, sauté mushrooms in butter & bullion until dark in color. Add flour slowly until all butter is absorbed. Cook until scorched, add milk and cream slowly, and serve.

Homemade Croutons

Take 4 pieces of thick white bread, brush with butter, sprinkle with parmesan cheese, put in broiler, repeat on both sides, cut in squares, and serve over soup.

For different variations of soup just replace mushrooms with broccoli, asparagus, or any vegetable.

My Mom is such an amazing cook, these are her recipes. I made the barely one last week and it was divine, perfectly healthy, just what I need lately. I hope someone uses them. I saw the other girls posting recipes and that is something I can relate to and ENJOY

I can't believe I forgot about my blog!

2006-09-22T13:00:00.000-07:00

I really can't believe that I forgot about the blog, I am kind of buzy I guess with school,but not really cause I don't even do my homework. Anyway thanks to heid, I now know how to post a pic, this is going to be even more fun!

I am stressed, I have to teach a lesson on faith this sunday to the combined young women in my home ward. I'm excited except for the fact that I haven't prepared anything, I have class in an hour, plans tonight, and I will be gone all day saturday-scary...

I get to have a breakfast date with laur, I can't believe that I get to discuss---in person---wedding details...and I get to see the RING!!
I am excited about our 6 p.m. party on the 21st, at my house, and quote "yay for scandelous gifts!" fine by me, I am now offically the only one who know nothing about them.

Since the Divas don't have a blog anymore I decided to get one! Only because I miss being able to check the other girls blogs, I needed my own.
