"has anyone ever told you...."

...you look like Uma Thurman?"
"Ya, actually."

I've gotten that comment, no joke, like 30 times within the last 6 or 7 years. My summer job in high school at the Country Mercantile is where I got most of them. It was a common one.

Today at work was just one more of the 30 plus times.

I think she's super pretty. MAYBE sometimes I resemble her, and that's why I hesitated to put a picture next to her.

You decide.. (none offense taken if you don't think so, cuz I don't totally see it )

.confessions.

[of a chocoholic]

So maybe I always feel the need to have a box of Milk Duds or Mini Charleston Chews in my purse at most all times.
Just a piece here and there.
I'm sure it's just a pregnancy thing.... :)



*try these little tastys chews frozen...DELISH!

new casa

Our new place is almost 100 % done! I love it, Well the living room and kitchen are done. Our bedroom still needs a little help and the babies room is about 75 %. Took about a whole week to move, paint, unpack, and decorate but it's starting to feel like home. So here's a look at before to after of the living room & kitchen.

Say Hello to.....

The newest employee at Downeast Outfitters!!!

All summer I have been looking for a job. Not like going crazy to find one everyday but I had about three hookups but I preferred to not to have to work on Sunday, so I had to pass them up. I was ready to take ANY job. BUT it's been kind of nice to have a break for a few months and go swimming at any time to my hearts content, (but I'm starting to get a little big for it to not be awkward at the single housing complex pools, so perfect timing). My cousin had some hookups, got me an interview and after waiting for a week, I got a call and it was good news!!! I've never been more excited to actually have a job. Although, now, I'll have to actually start getting ready for the day :)

Pics of our new place to be coming soon. We're STILL unpacking and decorating. Oh joy.

.summer love ♥

I love to longboard. One of my roomies freshman year was o-so-kind to teach me and from there on out, it has been a love. During the springs/summers I would venture to Provo Canyon or the Provo River Trail whenever I could, or the board would be my form of transportation to nearby places. Most of my longboard excursions happened to be with boys. (only reason being, of course, was that's who invited me the most often, haha) I happened to marry a boy that had never been or tried. So I have not been since. I never thought to ask if he would like to try or learn, because this said boy does not like to play on things that he doesn't have "complete control" over. But he surprised me one night by asking if I wanted to go! This is how it went down.

Boy- out of the blue- "You wanna go longboarding tonight?"
Girl- "Are you being serious?" (kind of sarcastic)
Boy- "Yis"
Girl- "But you said you didn't know how and I thought you didn't like to do stuff like that."
Boy- "I'm a fast learner."
Girl- "But you don't like to do stuff like that."
Boy- "Well you do, so I could learn." (how sweet is that)
Girl- silence...is he serious??? "k, Sweet, let's go"

Of course we didn't go that night. I only had one board and we couldn't borrow another one at that point, BUT we did borrow Seth's brother's the other week. Took them to AZ with us and road once at night and for Ellsworth Family Home Evening activity last night we went on the Provo River Trail for a bit!!!! (And he really is a quick learner) Oh it was love.....
I didn't ask how he liked but, but from the looks of his pic. I think he was enjoying himself.


*Yes you can scold me for being almost 6 months pregnant and riding those "dangerous things". I know, I know. BUT we weren't going that fast because Seth was learning, it was just a leisurely ride. We're wearing flip-flops. Who in their right mind would longboard crazily fast with flip-flops??? Let alone LEARN with them?? :)

half way

This is a 20 wk picture. I'm now officially 21 wks yesterday and boy is he a kicker/puncher when he's awake.


So I have been going kind of crazy looking at paint colors and blanket ideas and cribs and yadda yadda since finding out we're having a lil boy. It's fun, but I can't really start getting or painting until we move into our new place and I just want to do it all now! Patience is a virtue.
My other problem is narrowing it down to which look and which hue of color, there are just sooo many cute ideas and colors out there!

.people watching.

I'm a people watcher. Always have been. I would LOVE to go to New York, sit in Times Square and just watch people. They're interesting. They do the funniest things. You catch them in their most awkward moments when they think no one is watching. The worst is when you get caught watching them. Then comes the awkward, 'shift your eyes FAST, turn your head as casually and quickly as possible to make it look like you were actually looking at someone/something else' moment.

My favorite & quite possibly one of the top most immature things I have done is: I went on a group date in high school and we decided to go to the mall, put gum on the bottom of quarters, stick them on the ground and video tape people trying to pick them up, while we were incognito. It was hilarious. We just sat there and watched people, 1st- get excited cuz they found a quarter on the ground, 2nd- try to pick it up, 3rd- be disgusted and slightly embarrassed once they found there was gum and that they fell for a stupid trick.

Then just yesterday, I was sitting at a red light, watching the girl behind me in my rear view mirror. She was pouring the water out of her water bottle. Then she was just swinging it around, waiting for the light, when she dropped it. She instantly freaked out and started pounding on her steering wheel. Then I watched her debate whether to get out of her car and pick it up or not. It was quite comical, I could see her talking to herself about the debate.

So I wanna hear it. Don't be shy, I know you want to & I know you have funny, awkward moments of people watching & getting caught people watching......
