Bangs??

So I know this probably sounds lame to make a post about my bangs but I am going to! I have been wearing my bangs the same way for a while....Straight down and very blunt. For the past week I have been wearing them swooped to the side. This is where you all come in. I need your opinion as to which way you like best....and you cant say both! Can you tell I am a hairstylist....PLEASE! PATHETIC...

California.....

This last weekend me and my parents went to California for my cousin Cameron' s missionary homecoming. It was so much fun. Even though we left Saturday afternoon and came home Monday night we still had a good time. We got to eat at all our favorite places and I even got in my shopping. Sunday my Uncle John invited us to go to the Ducks game with him. We went to the game with him, my Aunt Donna, Hallie and Hannah and their friend Gabbie. It was sooooo much fun!!! I loved it. It was so intense and their was only one fight which I was upset about. The only bad thing that happened was our 3 hour delay at the Long Beach airport and if any of you have been there you know how horrible a delay there is. Well at least we made it home safe and sound even if it was at 12:00 at night! It was so great to see Cameron. He looks great and had so many great stories to share with us. It makes me so excited for Scott to come home. Only 5 more months!

Friend Dinner

We went to dinner the other night with the friends to Stoneground and had such a fun time. We missed a few people but they were all there in spirit. Happy Holidays!!!

Twins?

Everyone tells me and my friend Loni that we look like either twins or sisters. She is much much taller than me and I always laugh when people tell us this cuz I dont see it other than our hair. She's beautiful so I will take it as a comment!

Miami Heat vs. Utah Jazz

When I saw that the Heat were going to be in town tonight I knew I had to go to this game. I love Dwyane Wade and he is the #1 scorer in the NBA. Plus he is so hott!!! I cant wait to see of my favorite players on the same court.....CJ Miles and Dwyane Wade. I cant wait! the Heat are 9-9 and the Jazz are 12-7 so it should be a good game. Well after last nights game which was absolutely pathetic I just Hope we can win. A season high of 25 turnovers....Please! Lets just hope that we can pull out a win at home tonight!

Twilight????

Last weekend I agreed to join my friends and go see Twilight on opening night. Bad decision for sure. Don't get me wrong I loved the being with my friends part....It was everyone else and their moms, daughters, grandmas, cousins, neighbors and sisters there. They couldn't of been more annoying. Besides the annoying people I loved the movie. As most of you know I hated the book and I was surprised how much I liked the movie. I loved all the characters in the movie and thought it was very well done. I can't believe I am blogging about Twilight.....How lame. Anyways, here are some fun pics from the night. I can't believe Stella.... shes not a baby anymore.....she's officially a kid! KJ i love the pic of you....me and Nick think you look like Pam.....

This might be one of the funniest things i have ever seen! I love Justin Timberlake more than anything and Beyonce is the best! So funny........LOL

Ray LaMontagne

So i know this is another music post but I couldn't resist. I have loved Ray LaMontagne for a while and I was so sad that I didn't get to go see him when he was here a couple months ago. When I listened to his first album for the first time I fell in love with his voice. It is so SEXY!!! The lyrics in his music are pure genius. His newest album Gossip in the Grain is sooooooo good. My favorites on there are......You are the best thing, Let it be Me, A falling through and I still care for you. Some of my other favorite songs of his from other album Trouble are.....Trouble, Forever my Friend, Shelter, and my all time favorite song of his is by far Hold you in my Arms. I cant compare his voice to anyone else because it is very unique. So go to iTunes and check him out!

Lady Gaga

I am a sucker for good new music. I have a new favorite artist and her name is Lady Gaga. I cant stop listening to her new album. I have known about her for a while but her CD just came out two weeks ago. It's awesome and its a great one to make you wanna dance. My friend Rudy and a few other friends say that she is my celebrity twin....LOL....What you all think??? If you like Madonna, Britney Spears, Rihanna, the Pussycat Dolls and Janet Jackson you will like her!

Yesterday was a big day. I am proud to support our new president Barack Obama. I feel as though he is going to do an amazing job and make some great changes. I am proud to live in the United States of America. We needed a change and we got it. Either candidate would of been a good change. I was very impressed with both men's speeches. They were both very inspiring. I am so excited to see a new face in office and to see where he takes our country. I stand behind our new president and I hope whom ever you voted for that you can also. God bless the USA.

Halloween!!!

I absolutely love Halloween. We thought our costumes were pretty great this year! We were a girl scout troop. We used all my old patches and even had real girl scout cookies. It was a fun night!

Pork and Pizza!

I don't consider my self the best cook in the world but my mommy has taught me a few things....and as most of you know my mom is a pretty awesome cook! Every time I ask my friends what they want for dinner when they come over they always ask for pork tacos. I must admit that they are pretty delicious! I have tried a few different versions of making it but I finally mastered it. Here's the recipe for those of you who have been asking.

1 Pork Roast

1 jar of salsa...homemade is the best

2 Cups of brown sugar

Throw all ingredients in the crock pot and cook on low all day. The last 4 hours I usually turn it to high. Once its all done you will probably have to break the pork apart...some times it just falls apart on its own while cooking. Eat on tacos or even salads!

The other night I made the best pizza ever.....I was so proud. It looked so pretty too. Here is the recipe for this one too!

1 premade pizza crust or a can of pizza dough

1 red onion

5 Roma tomato's

Gorgonzola cheese

fresh mozzarella

1 Tbsp. Olive oil

Fresh Basil

I tried the pizza dough in a can and cooked it in the oven before I baked the pizza. After you cook the dough brush the crust with olive oil and the proceed to top the pizza off with all ingredients and cook for 10-12 minutes on 350.

Girl Talk!

Last night me and my friends from work went to see Girl Talk. They are a couple awesome DJ's from Detroit. The music was awesome but the people were crazy! They let anyone that wanted to come on stage and it was MADNESS! Some guy had some machine that shot out toilet paper....hence all the toilet paper all over everyone. I have the coolest boss in the world! I loved her hat so much....OBVIOUSLY!!!

TV TV TV!!!

Here are my top 5 favorite shows at the moment.....

Fringe......I love this show. If anyone loved X Files than you should be watching this show. It on fox on Tuesdays. Its a weird show that makes you think but I think its genius!

Brothers and Sisters.....I cant stand Kalista Flockheart but considering how much I love this show it helps me get over her. I love the Walker family. They are a little dysfunctional but you cant help fall in love with them.

Private Practice.....This is the spin off of Greys. I love Kate Walsh but I love Taye Diggs even more! I cry almost every time I watch this show.

America's Next Top Model.....Nothing needs to be explained!

Intervention....This show will make you cry and really be gretafull for all the good things that you have in your life. They take people who have all different kinds of addictions and problems from alcoholics to anorexia. They have an intervention with them and they are given the option to go to rehab and get help. Sometimes they take the help and sometimes they dont. Its a great show.
