MY life the Musical?

Sometimes (almost ALL the time) I wish my life was a musical. I mean how magical are musicals? EVERYONE can sing, WELL.

Out of now where an entire town will break into a choreographed dance routine.

Old ladies will toss their walkers and do a back flip off if a park bench, babies will toss candy out to the audience and even the evil villain will take off his bowler hat and DANCE!

Sounds great right?

If that isn’t enough to get you excited about it, just imagine if your life worked out like a musical…

• You might think you are going to die, but you won’t.
• That guy you are pining away for, he secretly loves you back
• That [job/house/car/relationship/clothes] you covet, just wait a scene its YOURS!

It might be the optimist in me. The part of me that wants to believe that life is perfect, people are genuinely good, that there is always a silver lining or a light at the end of the tunnel!

I was especially excited when my FAVORITE show did a musical episode::

WOULDN'T that make you WANT to go to the doctor? I think the humor of it all would cure me completely.

Since that isn't reality I go to musical.sit in the audience. and WISH beyond wish that life was really like that.

Little Shop of Horrors: is playing at the Hale theater in Orem. So my family decided that we would go and see it as a little Halloween treat. It was amazingly good!

EVERYTHING I remember from my childhood. We went once when i was little, probably 8-9. We saw it at a local theater at our cabin. I just remember how funny it was. I remember how amazing it was as the plant GREW and got bigger, and ate people.

WHAT I don't remember was that they all die in the end. Opps, so much for my theory that musicals have end happily.

10.2.09

At least it made for a night of fun.

When I turn my life into a musical {WHICH I will, oh yes I WILL} There will be music. There will be dancing. There will be choreography.

& there will be a happy ending.

until then I will sing to myself

Is Bobble Head in this Season?

I was doing my usual round of Who Wore It Best? on People.com and saw these bobble heads. I know that Hollywood just keeps getting thinner, but these people look disproportionate.

Or is it JUST me?

This is HOME to me

I {once} wrote about going home to my parents new home.

There are so many [good/amazing/fun/great/terrible/annoying/frustrating] things about having my family so close.

One annoying thing: Utah went from being my own secret little world, to my parents world. I stopped feeling like I was on my own making it work.

One amazing thing: driving to my parents house during fall.

it really is pretty.
it really makes me want to buy a real camera.
it really makes me wish I knew how to edit photos

(so they would be even more amazing then the crap I take with my point and shoot)

Honest Scrap

I received the Honest Scrap award from Krissa over at Randomness. So iM supposed to write some honest and random facts about myself. Since that is basically all I write about here, I thought I would try to find some interesting little tid bits you didn't know.

1. I like to EAT peanut butter straight out of the JAR- sometimes right off the spoon, other times I smear it on a slice of a red apple {MOSTLY for appearance sake}
2. I speak my own language, its called CELINA. I frequently use phrases or words that only my close friends really [understand/know]
3. iM currently addicted to breaking my high score on Nature Park- the world's ghetto-est game on my POS Nokia phone. I play it before I fall asleep. sometimes being a little delirious helps my score.
4. I love school supplies- notebooks, new pens, binders, paper. Its weird, but I would buy that stuff in bucket loads just to have it stocked away somewhere.
5. I am deathly afraid of being bored of my own life.
6. I like to eat triscuits and cottage cheese. Usually sprinkled by pepper. They are the perfect crispy little snack.
7. i am addicted to oral hygiene. I know, weird. My dentist has told me on more than one occasion to STOP BRUSHING my teeth so much. So instead I chew special gum.
8. I go through movie phases. I will watch the same movie OVER and over again. Some movie that have survived my movie phases: When Harry Met Sally [Junior Year of College], Bridgette Jones Diary, My Best Friends Wedding [WHEN I worked graves], Connie & Carla, Once, Shooter, Arrested Development & SCRUBS. Ok those are technically TV series but I just can't get enough.
9. I wish I had an OUNCE of musical talent. I've tried, it's just not me. My [Piano/Voice/guitar] teachers can confirm.
10. I hate washing my hair. Not because I want to be dirty, but simply because I HATE getting ready. BLAH my hair take forever to dry.

So there you have it! Me in a nut shell. I pass this on to....


Im Erika over at: Refreshingly Honest
She write so bluntly about relationships, and owns her own crazy mixed up emotions in a way I never could.

Katie at The Importance of Being Katie:

Who I know I would be friends with in real life. And we will one day.

RUBI from Keeping up with Los Jones:

who has a life I wish I lived. She can pull of cute hair, funky clothes and has an adorable husband to boot. I started blog stalking these two a while back. Her husband made her an adorable dress, she cuts hair and is a fashionista and she makes super cute frames/chalkboards.

AM I the only (O)NE

Who is SO sick of the GOSSELIN family? I really, truly am. I admit, I used to watch Jon & Kate + 8, back in the good old days.

• When they were Jon & Kate.
• When they had a bunch of little kids running around their tiny house turning it upside down.
• When they were broke, and Jon still had a job and the teasing was funny

Before Jon was emasculated by Kate. Before he gave up his day job. Before they HATED each other. Before she got greedy. Before he CHEATED, or she allegedly cheated. Before the books, the appearances, the affairs, the lying, cheating and tabloids.

It was fun to watch them struggle with all their little kids. It was endearing to see them pile in their van and head to church.

Somewhere along the way, all that was lost. It became about money. Promotions. Sponsors. Fancy trips.

It was less about peeking in a window of an interesting neighbor, and more about WHAT can they get for free?

So when I saw this poll on PEOPLE:



I clicked NO

and not because Jon is off the show (I could care less he bothers me TOO), but because I simply think THERE SHOULDN'T be a show.

IF you care about your kids, TAKE THEM OFF THE AIR.

Live off that Giant PILE Of MONEY you have. Buy a smaller ESTATE and live an ordinary life.

at least that way your kids would have half a chance.

Just the humble opinion.

DON'T tell me there isnt anything to do in your town

I mean is there a Wally world near you?

Utah seems to have one dotted on just about every corner. Back home there was one, hidden away in a town far far away. When I moved out here I was surprised that I was hard pressed to find a Target, but Wal-Mart was everywhere.

I have seen some amazing things at while there. I sometimes {MOST of the time} I HATE going. It gives me anxiety. It is a time warp. When I look at my bank account, and give into Wally world I cried to my self and die a little inside.

If you ever thought there was nothing to do on the weekends, try Wal-Mart Bingo. I was laughing my can off when I saw the official BINGO card.

Someone at work was talking about how they go to Wal-Mart and look for these funny people and things. It made me laugh, only because I have seen one too many of these things while midnight shopping.

If you aren't SOLD on the idea have you ever seen People of Wal-Mart? It is pretty amazing, I mean check out these amazing sightings at a Wally World NEAR YOU! Update the card, make it your own. I personally will feel like I've hit the jackpot when I see a real celebrity.

I WISH I would run into Michael Cera, but with my luck I would run into the Lucky Charm thugs or the creeper on house arrest.

***UPDATE*** For you SUPER cool, high tech PHONE user: You can get an electronic game card here. simply DOWNLOAD and go!
