lately round here. or heeeeey-ere rather.

Friday, June 21, 2013


but first! to the commenter who told me, amongst many things, that i needed an english degree and a filter (to speak about having a period on the internet?! gasp!? : i kind of agree +, more importantly, i am on my period right now. and it's crazy. ;)
- - - - - - - - - -

now! on to the good stuff! do you actually enjoy posts like these? i don't really either. but i have a slew of cell phone pictures littering my phone (i am almost out of storage! what. is. this!) and i am fairly certain this utah heat is melting my brain. in a few more weeks, i will have brain slime dripping out my eye sockets and nostrils.

...and this is me apologizing for that visual. 


+ my sister is living with me now. exclamation point! she is here on and off for the summer and has made camp in our spare bedroom. because we have one of those now(!!!!!). it's been so fun. but also sobering? she steals my clothes and looks better in them, what is that?! in other news, i keep pimping her out at seven peaks and have taken over her tinder. so...any one have a brother? that's single? and doesn't wear a tee shirt while swimming? (sorry paige, my taste in sixteen year olds is a bit off...). 

+ seven peaks. seven peaks! and my future baby daddy wearing a bro tank and snap back, like baby daddies do.

+ ...eh, okay. so i tried to make 'healthy pancakes' because isn't that fun? i blended up carrots and spinach and protein powder and fairy dust and why didn't i use a recipe(?!?!) and the end result looked like fried chicken and tasted like, well, carrots, spinach, and protein powder. doused in peanut butter, of course.

+ like i said, i've got that period blues. and no english degree. ha! (but really, why don't you liiiiiike me?!) my body honestly and truly dragged me to winco this morning at nine a.m. and told me to get dark chocolate covered almonds. or else. 

+ this is quite possibly the ugliest picture of me to ever hit the internet, but crossfit man. crossfit sucks but also i love it but also i'm perpetually sore. ugh, the struggle. a few days ago i was sweating so hard; my shirt was drenched a big, fatty beads of sweat were getting into my mouth and eyes. aaaaand now i'm back to hating crossfit.

+ jeff is funny. everyone tells me so. 

+ come to utah and let me give you the grand tour...of gas stations. i'm kind of a pro at them and know all the best in and around utah county. i even yelp about them amongst other things! 

side note: why is it that my best social media times are on twitter replies and yelp...which no one ever sees? ugh. i'm such an unsung hero... ;)

+ remember how i made a new year's resolution that i am actually keeping! clap for me. this session last week was my maj. and alyssa pitt is one of my favorite humans.

+ paige, my paige. much like jeff, she takes nine hours to wake up and then bam! personality! let's go get ice cream! it's three a.m.! shimmy shimmy! i feel like such an old fart.

- - - - - - - - - -

what are you doing this weekend? i will probably just be lying on my bed catching up on the real housewives of absolutely anywhere (orange county is my favorite!) and stuffing my face with the rest of my chocolate covered almonds. because my monthly bill is here (peeeeriod!). yeeks.

  2. So I read that commentor's comment and literally died laughing. sometimes I wonder why people care so much, it is YOUR blog after all! I don't mind hearing about your period, as all girls have one and it's quite a natural thing and Tina Fey would certainly approve :)

  3. Um...I'm sorry but the description of those pancakes made me wince. Violently? Violently wince? Whatever. But hey, kudos for putting different foods together and coming up with a different food. Wow. This is a brilliant comment. But hey, I enjoy your non-english-major-edited posts.

  4. Nothing says, "Let's not be friends," like English snobbery and being weird about periods. Furthermore, I am an English teacher and your blog delights me and a small part of me vows to stalk Amanda Quinn and add revision suggestions for everything she puts online, ever.

  7. Hah! I saw the comment that girl posted. It was hilarious! But you dealt with it well, I think.
    Anyway, I love your blog! Keep up the period talk. (Even though periods are icky and should never be discussed on a blog!)

  10. Hey I mentioned your blog on my post today and also decided to take the next step and follow your instagram instead of just shamelessly stalking it. Hope that's cool.
