HI HO Song

I'm not sure why. But back in my BYU Athletics days, I'd listen to this song on repeat when I was working late nights at the office by myself.

Now, this song is still my "HI HO Get Work Done" Song.

I {heart} Weekends!

Last weekend, something unexpected happened.
I went to watch one of my Marketing Assistants fight.
It was so much fun.
Serious.
I'm officially a fan.
I didn't think I'd enjoy it. I was just going to support.
But I had a blast and left loving it.
Don't judge.



Saturday I returned to watch the Cougs beat Air Force.
Third row. (Thanks Jon!) Freezing. Yelling. Cheering. Laughing. Smiling.
Good day.


Sunday we got some snow.
And somehow I don't mind the cold so much right now.
Maybe it's because it really isn't that cold.
Maybe because it's only November and not January.
Or maybe because I made a deal with someone that if I was going to take a job in Utah, I would need to be able to handle the cold better.
Either way, the snow did put me a little more in the "holiday spirit." So that's happy.

Ear Candy

It's been a great weekend thus far. But I'll wait til all is said and done before I blog about the details.

Right now, I need to get some things out. I'm in love with this song.



** I just realized the irony that this song (Title specifically) is currently sitting right next to one of my favorite quotes. Contradiction?? Maybe...

Showdown

It's back on!

And this is where I'll be tomorrow night.

Can't wait!

A Pinball Post

Oh blog... I have missed you. The last few weeks of work have been insane but a blast. Now I finally have a chance to catch up on things. I have lots of thoughts bouncing a around. This post kind of feels like a pinball machine.

1. I'm head over heels in love with my job.

2. Being a real, grown-up person is hard. Seriously, I had no idea things like insurance were so complicated.

3. I do not like going to the dentist. Remember this post.
As far as dentists go, though, I have a pretty good.
Today was too much though.
My day began and ended at the dentist's office.

4. This kid is amazing... as if you didn't know.


5. My week began the best possible way. The good guys (Colts...obviously) beat the bad guys (Patriots). In dramatic fashion.


6. A student that I work with is a fighter and I was so excited to go watch him fight Friday in the big show at the McKay Center. But the kid that he was supposed to fight got hurt (read "scared") and backed out. I'm so bummed.

7. I'm officially a COUGERINE

8. This song has been on repeat lately.

Confession

When I was a freshman in high school, I became (for some reason that I do not remember) obsessed with Linkin Park.

I got the Hybrid Theory CD for a birthday present. I knew every word to every song on the whole CD.

Kat and I would call the radio station after school to try to get them to play "In The End". (Remember Kat?? haha)

I even remember singing "In The End" on a hike at a girls camp. Told you. Obsessed.

And I still love Linkin Park.
Sure. It's a bit dark and screamy, but it's so good. Seriously, the best angry driving music ever. It's so therapeutic. Try it.

Explosion

Right now, I have so many thoughts, feelings, and emotions going on. I feel like I might explode.

Work is so busy. I love it, but it's stressful.
There aren't enough hours in the day for me to do everything I want/need to do.
Such as:
- errands
- keeping my apt clean everyday
- eating real food
- working out
- learning the guitar

So, once again, I'm on the verge of an emotional explosion. I've been so exposed with my emotions lately. Not like me. But some things I just can't hold in too long. I'm really super duper happy. Really. Yet, I feel slightly weighed down at the moment.

Here you are. A piece of my explosion...

Flurry

Today has been a flurry.

I had a wonderful day off. (Thank you Nate!) Slept in. Lunch with a few of my favorite people. Retail therapy. And, of course, music.

These two have been on repeat all day.


(I so wish I could play the piano like this...)

Manning Confession

This confession is two-fold.

1. I love Peyton Manning.
Obsessed.
Words cannot describe.
The Colts drafted him the year after we moved to Indiana. And I've loved him ever since.

2. Sometimes, when I'm bored, I go on YouTube and watch Peyton Manning commercials.
Guilty pleasure.
So enjoyable.

Today I found this one. Hahaha. Laughed so hard.

Editor's Picks

Another new segment of my blog. Because guess what, it's my blog. So I can do that. This will be fun.

1. OPI Nail Lacquer in Black Onyx
I love OPI. I have so many. It's ridiculous. But, currently, my favorite is Black Onyx.


This will be on my nails for a while.
**Don't worry. I'm not turning gothic. I just like black. :)

2. "I'd Come For You" - Nickelback
Sorry, more music.
Lately, I feel like all my thoughts and feelings are expressed in the lyrics of a few songs. And I can't listen to this song enough.



(Chad -- You are so not good looking. But your voice is so heart-stoppingly attractive.)

Confessions of a Young Sub-Urban Professional

Welcome to the newest segment of my blog.

Confession #1:
I do not like Halloween.

Confession #2:
The past few days I was having major creativity/marketer's block. As I sat at my computer trying to come up with some brilliant ideas for the upcoming basketball season (which starts on Tuesday, by the way), nothing was coming.

So frustrating.

Yesterday, I was over at BYU having lunch and decided to stop by the old office to say hi to everyone while I was there.

I confessed my lack of ideas to them. Being back at BYU was especially tough because I remember the feeling of living the vision and the atmosphere at basketball games. It's a bit challenging to go from that to where I am now. (Even though I love being at UVU and wouldn't go back.)

Luckily, I went to the right people.

Thanks to Jon & Aubrey for the hundreds of fresh, new songs and lots of talking and laughing!

My creativity is now sparked.


P.S. Jon-- We really need a newer picture. :)
