As my tacftful friend Josh pointed out

it's time for a new profile picture.
(i believe his exact words were, "why is your picture so ugly?")

Sure, it's always hilarious to make fun of self obsessed people who love to take pictures of themselves
(as my currently profile picture does),
but i think we have all, "been there-done that," now haven't we?

I have the following gems to pick from-
(curtsey of a self portrait assignment for my drawing class)

Tell me, which do you like the best?














"mybluechin," 2011, nupastel





















"Eye can see you," 2011, nupastel, pen and ink





















"mmmm," 2011, india ink
















"Collage self portrait," 2011, Collage, nupastel, acrylic paint, charcoal
(i know, this title is really boring)

Am i the only one

who thinks this is weird?

What do you do when

you are sick of your large soda (who knows why!) and you are sitting in your car waiting for the light to change on state street.

There are many logical options, you could:

1. Wait until you get home and dump it down the sink.
2. Find a nearby garbage can and throw it in there.
3. Give your remaining drink to someone else.
4. Just drink it anyways.
or
5. Dump (what looked like at least half ) your drink out your window onto the road..... and receive the biggest D-bag ever award just like the the Gray Ford Explorer in Orem, Utah on Nov. 9, 2011.












That's right, I'm calling you out. You disgust me.

Because two stickers would

just look silly:

The worst possible thing happened to me this

I woke up, and i thought it was friday. Waaaaaaah.

Are most utah drivers

really as bad as I think they are?

Yes. They are.

#6 on the list of Most Dangerous cities for Driving.

Time for a change

in background.

i am so

BOOOOOOORING since school started. It is awful.

I am in an online class.
I Hate it.
Isn't the whole point of an online class to be able to work at your own pace? And to not have to socialize with anyone? HELLO!

Certain assignments are due twice a week- and i have to have groups discussions all the time, AND i am graded on my group's participation.

It really is hell.
That's right. Some people think hell is a dentist chair, or being tied up in a cold freezer. But my personal hell is having to be graded on group discussions.

Look everyone!

It's a full-on double rainbow!
Right here in little old utah.






















In case you have forgotten what it's like, it's like this:

Feeling sad?

You are in need of a special note.

Today i got a large envelope with the request,
"Please Accept Our FREE Gifts" on the outside.
Since they asked so nicely...

Now, i pass them onto you-with slight additions.

You think you love cats?

No one loves them as much as she does.

It's too bad i'm so

boring.

it really is unfortunate it, isn't it?

i have been searching for the answer

and now i know:

Nothing says, "i love you dad"

like bacon.
Happy late Father's Day.

The thing about work is that

sometimes it's a lot of work. and then you go home, and have to do more work. And then you don't have time to post fascinating and clever things on your blog. Boo.

"Bacon's biggest fans are people

between the ages of thirty-five and forty-nine years old..."
according to my bacon calender.

But i am 26. And i feel like i am the biggest fan in the world.
So i think that my calender has it wrong.

The only way to eat fish

"They fried the fish with the bacon, and were astonished;
for no fish had ever seemed so delicious before."

Of course.

Who else would get upset over someone leaving yet
ANOTHER empty box for me to throw away.

















Lazy fools.

Who wants to do homework?

Not me. Ever.

So to pass the time, here are some sweet bacon tid bits.

In the twelfth century, an English church promised a side of bacon to any married man who could swear before God that he has not fought with his wife for a year and a day. This is where the term, "bring home the bacon" originated.

Hmmm, i have this dream. I'm driving a bus, and my teeth start falling out. My mum is in the back, eating biscuits. Everything smells of bacon. It's weird. - Charlie, Lost

Cocoa Crisp Bacon:
Cut into thirds a pound of bacon.
Rub with 3/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tsp cocoa powder, and 1/2 tsp ground chipotle pepper.
Place on baking rack set in a foil-lined, rimmed cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45-60 minutes.

Mmmmm. sounds good.

My work supplies it's

employees with cupboards full of snacks- supplied by the receptionists... well mostly just one. She is cool. And no, it's not me.

anyways

The office supplies: lunch every Friday, on sight massages given by the company masseuse, ski passes, tickets to sporting events, yada yada yada, and the list goes on.

The point is: these people are spoiled.

Everyone who works here is at least 18 years of age. Everyone is an adult and they are supposed to know what to do with a piece of garbage.


You can imagine my delight when i came in to this:






















i guess it's too much to take the box to the garbage.

and

in case you are still wondering:
What kind of people does kajsia work with?






















now you know. this was just hung up in the breakroom.

true or false.

Sushi stays good in the fridge for over a week.







false.

someone come save the fridge in the breakroom!

who out there is a fan of

pirate's booty?
















I AM!

it's weirds me out

when people have a tv... but tell me that they never watch it.
























There should be a question on a psychological evaluation such as,
"Do you have a tv? and How do you feel about it?"

If the answer is-you own a tv but think tv is "stupid" so you never watch it.... i'm pretty sure that means you are a sociopath.

As a parent what would you think if one your child's teacher's

Something sort of like this:
