29: SOMETHING YOU'RE LISTENING TO

Can't get enough of Sara Bareilles accoustic - she can sing!

Love this song for a wedding, love, and/or a daily mix. Love the lyrics: "Million more miles to go...with you."

28: MONEY

If I had the "MONEY" I would go to Hawaii as often as possible. It is my heaven on Earth!

27: SOMETHING YOU ATE

I've been following a strict eating plan/game called isagameon for the past 4 months and today I enjoyed a treat - Gary's Original Caramel Popcorn. I usually can find the soft caramel balls at convenience stores but tonight I found one on clearance at Petersons in Riverton. I don't like to buy them because once I start eating one I can't stop until the popcorn ball is gone. They are delightful. Life is too short to not enjoy a treat every now and again - right?!?!

26: NIGHT

MY FAVORITE THING TO DO AT "NIGHT" IN THE WINTER IS CLIMB AT MOMENTUM. 

MY FRIENDS AND I HAVE HAD PASSES FOR THE PAST THREE MONTHS. WE GO 1-2 TIMES EACH WEEK. I STARTED GOING TO THE WED. YOGA CLASS AND I'M REALLY ENJOYING THAT AS WELL. BEN AND I HAVE BEEN LEAD CLIMBING 5.9s AND WE ARE TOP ROPING 5.10a-d, 5.11a BUT NEED TO START LEADING HARDER CLIMBS. I CAN DO IT!

25: GREEN

I WAS TRYING TO GO WITH MMM...YUMMY. NOT SURE WHAT MY FACE IS DOING.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE TREATS WOULD HAVE TO BE EDAMAME. AT COSTCO I BOUGHT MICROWAVE MINI PACKAGES. I DUST THEM WITH SEA SALT AND WHA-LA (KISSY SOUND) - DELICIOUS TREAT!

DAY 24: INSIDE YOUR BATHROOM CABINET

I RECENTLY ORGANIZED ALL OF MY CLOSETS, CABINETS, AND DRAWERS WHEN I WAS OFF TRACK IN JANUARY. I LOVE WHEN THINGS ARE ORGANIZED. I NEED TO PUT EVERYTHING BACK WHERE IT HAS A PLACE.

DAY 23: SHOES

I AM TRAINING FOR A FEW RACES AND THESE ASICS SHOES ARE KEEPING MY FEET HAPPY ON MY RUNS (BIKE SHOES NOT PICTURED). I RECENTLY PURCHASED ANOTHER PAIR OF ASICS BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE I AM GOING TO TACKLE.

20: HANDWRITING

My preferred handwriting would be a FONT on the computer. I love visiting the blog:http://www.goinghometoroost.com/

One of her regular posts are new fonts she has found and she gives the sites to download free fonts.

Another great handwriting connection is the blog:

She is doing a 

365 Days of Hand Lettering 

 challenge.

DAY 19: SOMETHING YOU HATE TO DO

I DON'T MIND DOING LAUDRY BUT I HAVE A BAD HABIT OF PUTTING MY CLEAN LAUNDRY ON MY BED. WHEN IT COMES TIME TO GO TO BED AND I HAVE A PILE OF CLEAN CLOTHES ON MY BED - I SHOULD PUT IT AWAY BUT MANY TIMES I DUMP THE PILE ONTO MY FLOOR THINKING "I'LL DO IT IN THE MORNING." I NEED TO PUT IT AWAY RIGHT WHEN I GET IT OUT OF THE DRYER. THAT WOULD BE THE SMART THING TO DO.

Browsing Pinterest I was introduced to this amazing artist: 
After 15 years working as a graphic designer,

Valentina Ramos 

started to create other arts and crafts. From these creations, Valentina Design was born: her world of fantasies and dreams; where her uplifting drawings and designs took shape.

 

DAY 18: DRINK

DOING "FEELING GREAT IN EIGHT" I WAS DRINKING 64 OZ. OF WATER A DAY BUT STILL DRINKING DIET COKE (IT WAS ALLOWED). AFTER READING MY FRIEND'S BLOG ABOUT LOSING WEIGHT AND FEELING AWESOME DOING ISAGENIX - I STARTED DRINKING 100 OZ. OF WATER EVERYDAY AND NO SODA NOT EVEN DIET COKE. I'VE BEEN PLAYING ISAGAMEON AND TAKING ISAGENIX PRODUCTS FOR THREE MONTHS. I CAN'T TELL IF I FEEL GREAT BECAUSE OF THE ISAGENIX, EXERCISE, WATER, NO SODA, WEIGHT LOSS, OR ALL OF THE ABOVE - OF COURSE. I'VE LOST 18LBS. SO FAR AND STILL ON MY JOURNEY TO LESS THEN 134 BEFORE MY 34 BIRTHDAY (4/7). I'LL GET THERE! TRAINING FOR A CENTURY, WASATCH BACK, WEIGHT LIFTING, AND ROCK CLIMBING SURE CAN'T HURT!

DAY 17: TIME

GARRETT (3) AND QUINN (5) ARE MY YOUNGEST NEPHEWS...TIME FLIES! THESE ARE THE MOMENTS THAT I'M SAD THEY LIVE IN COLORADO. WE FACETIME, VISIT EVERY OTHER MONTH, BUT I SURE MISS OUT ON THE DAILY FUNNY MOMENTS. THEY ARE GROWING UP SO FAST. MY SISTER BLOGGED THIS FUNNY "TIME" - THANK GOODNESS:

"TRY THIS FOR A BALACLAVA"

DAY 16: SOMETHING NEW

I STILL CHAT AND WORK WITH MY HIGHSCHOOL CHEER COACH AT LOCAL U.S.A. COMPETITIONS. I LOVE AND RESPECT HER. SHE HAS THE BEST STYLE AND THE LAST FEW COMPETITIONS WE HAVE WORKED TOGETHER I HAVE COMPLIMENTED HER EARRINGS. SHE TOLD ME A FEW TIMES THAT SHE ORDERED THEM ONLINE. IT TOOK ME THREE COMPETITIONS TO FINALLY WRITE DOWN THE NAME: HOOPLAEARRINGS. THEY ARE THE LIGHTEST, CUTE, AND CREATIVE EARRINGS I'VE PURCHASED IN AWHILE. CHECK OUT THE WEBSITE!

http://hooplaearrings.blogspot.com/

I LOVE HOW EACH PAIR OF EARRINGS COMES ON A CUTE TAG.

DAY 14: HEART

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
TODAY I WAS SHOWERED WITH CANDY, CARDS, AND EVEN A DOZEN ROSES FROM MY STUDENTS. I SURE LOVE MY CLASS AND STUDENTS' PARENTS! THEY ARE VERY THOUGHTFUL. THEY MADE ME FEEL VERY LOVED TODAY.
MY PARENTS AND GMA NEFF TOOK ME TO DINNER. WE WENT TO OUTBACK AND HAD DELICIOUS RIBS. YUM! MY PARENTS ARE THE BEST;)
THE LOVELY DAY WASN'T OVER UNTIL I WENT TO MY FRIEND'S CREPE NIGHT AND WE ATE DELICIOUS DESERT CREPES AND CHATTED THE NIGHT AWAY.  I LOVED THE NAPKINS SHE HAD, "I MAY BE SINGLE BUT I'M NOT DESPERATE!" SO TRUE!
ON FRIDAY MY SISTER AND NIECE, MAKELL, CAME TO MY SCHOOL AND SURPRISED ME WITH A VISIT, HOMEMADE CARD, AND GIFT CARD TO PF CHANG.
*LOVELY*

Cute Valentine's card idea for next year - found on Pinterest:

DAY 13:BLUE

I BOUGHT THESE SHEETS A FEW YEARS AGO. THEY ARE MY FAVORITE. THEY ARE THE BEST MATERIAL AND THEY GLOW IN THE DARK. I CHARGE THEM UP BEFORE I GET INTO BED AND WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT --- I HAVE A BEDROOM OF CONSTELLATIONS UNTIL I PASS OUT ASLEEP. BEST BLUE SET OF SHEETS EVER!

DAY 12: INSIDE YOUR CLOSET

MY CLOSET IS PRETTY PLAIN. I WOULD LOVE TO GO ON THE WHAT NOT TO WEAR SHOW AND GET $$$ FOR A NEW WARDROBE. I WEAR A LOT OF TSHIRTS, JEANS, AND HOODIES. I ALSO HAVE A LARGE SECTION OF RACE SHIRTS, BIKE SHIRTS, AND JACKETS.
HERE ARE A FEW OF MY "WISH LIST" CLOSETS:

DAY 11: MAKES YOU HAPPY

I WISH MY FAMILY WAS IN THIS PICTURE! FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND RECREATION MAKE ME TRULY HAPPY!

DAY 10: SELF

DAY 9: FRONT DOOR

I AM NOT A DECORATOR NOR DO I KNOW WHAT LOOKS GOOD. TAIPAN JUST MAKES MY TOURETTES FLARE UP! I MOVED INTO MY CONDO IN 2006 PUT A FEW THINGS UP IN MY PLACE AND NOTHING HAS CHANGED. I'D LIKE TO CHANGE IT UP BUT NOT WILLING TO PUT THE TIME OR $$$ INTO IT.

DAY 8: SUN

I RECEIVED THIS PHOTO FROM A FRIEND FROM OUR YURT TRIP. THOUGHT IT WAS FITTING FOR TODAY'S POST. 

Day 7 button

BACK INTO SOME PANTS I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO WEAR FOR AWHILE.

Day 6 dinner

 

AFTER WATCHING DR. OZ I TRIED THIS KASHI PIZZA. 1/3 OF THE PIZZA IS ONLY 260 CALS, 9G FAT, 14G PROTEIN, & 630MG SODIUM. ALL INGREDIENTS ARE NATURAL, WHOLE GRAINS AND DELICIOUS!

Day 4 a stranger

Offline Pinterest experience

Working at a cheer competition today I saw this fun skirt and boots - - - I tried to "pin it" but had to remember it was a real experience not a view on Pinterest. LOL! I also love the green sneakers on those coaches - too cute.

Day 3 hands

there is one "hand" on this album cover 

I've been listening to this cd everyday trying to give it a chance. This is Ingrid Michaelson's new cd. It's ok.

Had to include this for "hands"

HALE THEATRE

I'VE HAD SEASON TICKETS TO THE HALE THEATRE FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS WITH MY MOM, GMA, AND AUNTS. IT'S AN ENJOYABLE LADIES NIGHT. MEN ARE WELCOME BUT THEY WOULD RATHER WATCH FOOTBALL ON T.V. MY GOOD FRIEND, MELISSA, JOINED US LAST YEAR. THIS SEASON'S LINE UP IS:

"THE GAME'S AFOOT" WAS THE PLAY WE WENT TO TONIGHT. PRETTY FUNNY - REMINDED ME OF THE GAME/MOVIE CLUE.

Day 2: words

I am obsessed with music and especially the "words" aka lyrics. My good friend, Janice, just got married and she made a wedding soundtrack with her husband. Each song was just lovely. Another good friend of mine is getting married and I'm pulling together some music to make her a mix of tunes for a pre-wedding gift. She can use the songs she really likes for her wedding/reception. Problem is...some songs labeled with the word "love" isn't always a blissful song. I have been listening to music for the past few days....my mix is 101 songs right now. I need to start narrowing it down to the favs.

Help!

What are some of your favorite "love" songs?

UTAH: LIFE ELEVATED

I can't get enough of home: Utah. The view of the Wasatch Mountains take my breath away every time I look at them. I love to snowride, hike, bike, climb, picnic, read, and even just drive through that beauty!
