"Wanted" - Hunter Hayes

Blast to the past! Ok well just to this summer. I came home for like a month this summer to assist my mom with girls camp. I wasn't planning on staying that long when I first decided to come but that's not related to this.

Anyway the theme of camp was Harry Potter. Ok that wasn't like the theme theme but the theme to be creative of the theme. Still following? Someone had the brilliant idea to make wands.

Kaleen and I went over to this sisters house in our ward who's husband as a workshop as big as our house in their backward. They has two sanding machines so we were working on making like 300 wands.

Kaleen starts messing around and realized that we can actually sand shapes into the wands. Huzzah!! We were real wand makers! Every wand was made differently.

Then I started to paint them. We spray painted and stained an it took forever. It was very unfortunate that the one week of humidity was right before camp as I was trying to get these done. It finally came down to racing the storms to get them finished. I also got to paint the goblet of fire!

If you're ever looking for a wand maker just call me up!

"Less Than A Pearl" - Enya

I was planning on blogging about some of my crafts that I've been working on but after the RS broadcast, getting a major headache and getting my family addicted to Once Upon A Time, I am exhausted and don't want to make all the effort of dealing with a lot of pictures.

I can't believe that whole paragraph is one sentence. Forgive me as it appears my thoughts seem to just keep running on.

In my best effort here is a sneak peak as to what I plan on doing in my bedroom.

Peace and blessing.

"Smells Like Teen Spirit" - Nirvana

Watching my home boys play some football. I sure do love them.

Apparently Williams #21 is younger than Kaleen and is still a minor. We call him Baby J.

I have nothing further to say tonight.

"I Dreamed A Dream" - Les Miserables soundtrack

Things on my mind right now:

I miss Utah. Like A LOT. The people for sure. But man every time I see a picture of the trees changing I feel my heart break. Man the red, oranges, gold. Ugh I miss it.

My wanting to go to Disneyland and seriously changed into a needing to go to Disneyland.

I want to memorize the entire Les Mis soundtrack before I see it. Because I am going to see that. Oh man I'm listening to the soundtrack right now and it's giving me chills.

I need to start making a list of youtube videos to post later.

I can't decide if I should eat something.

I'm proud of myself for blogging a second day in a row :)

"We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" - Taylor Swift

My life is boring, hence the lack of blog posts. The only things worth blogging about I have a lot of feelings about and don't want to start a million rants on here. Maybe I'll make a whole other blog for that but that's not important now. What's important now is it is my goal to blog at least once a day for the next 7 days. Now that I have publicly posted that I think I will be more obligated to follow up :)

So tonight I thought I would share a nice bedtime story.

Once upon a time there were these magical powders that dissolved in water to give people more energy to survive in daily life.Things like caffeine and other strong things and B-vitamins. (Exhibit A)



Well, I had no idea that you weren't supposed to put one package in a bottle of water and drink it within 20 minutes of sitting. Apparently after further investigation there are TWO servings in one package. Please tell me why they do this? So mom leaves to run errands and I just start feeling sick. Mom comes back home and looks at me and says I don't look good. (I felt validated that she could see that because I really did not feel good.) And then I look at my hands and they won't stop shaking. My body was shaking people.

So after like 1 minute mom asks me if I drank an entire packet. Then it hits me that my body has had a serious over dose of caffeine. Man let me tell you I have never felt like that before. You would think I would be jumping off the walls but I couldn't stop shaking.

Well you know how after the high comes the crash? Well I never hit high but I crashed harder than Captain America with the tesseract into the ocean. I sat on the couch and could not stand up. Meghan said I looked like a zombi. By the next day I was doing much better.

There is knowledge and there is wisdom.

Then later that week we were in the grocery store and my mom asked if I wanted to experiment by drinking a 5 hour energy. I really think they would have to shock my heart back in rhythm if I drank one of those.

And that's the story of the day where I OD on caffeine.

"Lullaby" - Josh Groban

So for those who don't know Rachel talk in her sleep pretty frequently.  After I started living with her I would wake up in the morning and tell her what she said and we decided that I needed to start writing it down. Then she suggest I make it a blog post. So here it is. I wish it was longer but the few things on here were really funny at the time.

-Rachel Hummed in her sleep. I sat there forever trying to figure out what it was and gave up.
-I was sitting in bed and Rachel sits up and starts opening the blinds. In the morning I was like so do you remember doing anything last night? And she asked what I was talking about and I pointed to the blinds and she busted up laughing because she said she was wondering why they were open when she woke up. 
-"We would never be ready but thats a good plan" I laughed so hard about this. I still am.
-"Mom it's turned on."
-Sounded like "I need to crochet"
-"those pictures (above the desk) look so tiny" 
-"[Something] ready to play"

Now that Diane is living with Rachel I guess they've already had some great moments with her sleep talking. Oh man. I'm gonna miss that :)
