Blech.

Sore throat on a beautiful fall day.

Good thing I have Grey's,


Sugar Plum Tea,


and my warm fuzzy blanket. :)


We wont mention the fact that HeWhoShallNotBeNamed is supposedly engaged right now. And the fact that I put in TWO YEARS, the girl before me put in THREE YEARS, and this little tart (thats the nicest thing I could come up with) puts in 8 MONTHS and gets a ring? Psh.

Good thing I'm apparently really difficult to get over.
Whatev.

Wow, I'm putting really personal things on my blog lately.

Good news!

I just ordered my Halloween costume...

Be excited, be VERY excited.

Best Birthday EVER

Party!:
Jess is wonderful and threw me a wonderful birthday party!
This is me wishing for a __________.


And trying again...


This is the beautiful cake she made me!
LOOKS ARE DECEIVING! Haha


Ronnie, Richael, Kenny, Me, Jess, Jeff, Kylie



Pumpkin Picking:
This is how much I love pumpkins :D







Some yummy Sees candy:




Cupcake Making:
These are SO delicious by the way. The batter is spice cake+vanilla pudding mix+canned pumpkin and inside there is a little cream cheese surprise.






And of course:
SHOPPING! I got some way cute things in case you were wondering :D

Thank you everyone for all of your birthday wishes/texts/calls/etc.
It really made my day perfect and I'm so grateful for all of you!

LOVE YOU!

Oh and some comic relief

Alpine Loop

Me and my mom ditched out on our last hour of church to go take a drive up the Alpine Loop, a lot of the leaves had already fallen but we saw some beautiful scenery and I got some good shots.

What I want for my birthday::

1} People to stop asking me why I'm not married. Really- I already feel like trash so lets not make it worse.

2} A new brother and sister. Preferably ones that don't hate my guts and enjoy trying to make me feel like crap. It would also be nice if they were not pot heads and/or engaged to prison inmates.

(It's not like either of them will ever see this blog because they really have no idea that I even exist 99% of the time.)



Can I move to Canada now??

I hate everything about you

I HATE MOWING THE LAWN MORE THAN:

meat
cats
jazz music
whiny men
mushrooms

Lake Powell

A little impromptu Lake Powell trip always does the soul good right?
RIGHT.

I didn't end up taking many pics but I had so much fun! I made a lot of new friends and some great memories!

Pics of the canyons:







Indian ruins:


My swimsuit was still wet when I put my tank top back on and it looked a little awkward so I was trying to cover up..


And then Annette stepped in to help out haha


Thanks to my horrible Dominoes' skills I was supposed to eat a lizard. Luckily no one was able to catch one.. this guy was kinda cute tho.


It is so amazing how people lived like this!








Cliff jumping.


Look how sexy Jess is.. lol


Some of the guys were spear fishing and the guys up on top were leading them to the huge schools of fish that they could see below.


Funny story: One night we were all wound up and supposed to be going to bed. It was hard to relax when freakin Carlos Santana was playing a huge gig in the houseboat down from us. (No it wasn't really him :) just a huge party going on with a live band and a bunch of crazy drink people.)
Anyways- Kenny dared Max and Anton to go down the slide back into the lake, after we were all dry and piled in our massive pile of sleeping mats on top of the houseboat. Of course I objected to the dare because I really didnt want to sleep next to wet-stinky men that night. Weird I know. They ended up trying to throw me in-failing- and then when they were done with their little midnight swim they decided to make a Kaitlin Oreo and soaked my pajamas/sleeping bag/everything. Ugh I was so pissed.. so the next morning I woke them up with an ice cold shower. :D

And then I was thrown in over the side of the boat.
Nice.
