My Obsessions

So, to copy Erica, here are some of my current obsessions. So, I had to go somewhere and wait awhile. I decided to take this book with me because I heard it was kind of hard to get into, not so good, and really long....

Oh silly Emily. You forgot about the power that Stephenie Meyer has. So instead of studying my brains out for my huge test on Thursday, I keep coming up with reasons to read this. Like "I'm doing the dishes, I'll just read it until I'm done" or "I'll take all the garbages out in the house and read it while I walk." It's a disease. And I still have like 500 pages to go.
Have you ever had these stale? It's like heaven covered in sugar in a little cardboard box. Or, if you want to make them stale fast, throw them in the microwave for like 10 seconds. I learned this tip thanks to a BYU education.

And lastly, my little lovely in the silver can. So, apparently I'm addicted because I didn't have one today and had a huge headache and was rather irritable. Sorry to all those who have to deal with a non-caffeinated Emily. Apparently it is addicting. Who knew? I blame this addiction on my workplace. Next door to it is the best Diet Coke around. Really. Try it. Bread Basket.

Next, this blog by this person

She is amazing and her playlist is to die for.

Lastly, my little precious-es that live in the backyard. Yes, I dead-head them every day.


I know! Double red and white petunias! They are dang precious.

So if you don't see Julia and I much this week, it's because looking like this by Saturday is our goal. Happy tanning!

15 Year Birthday party!

So at the Jones house, we have our own form of March Madness. We basically celebrated Annie's birthday all of the first half of March. We then celebrate Delia's birthday the second half of March starting yesterday. Annie had a family party the week before, and a party on her birthday day and a party with her friends this weekend. The menu she chose for her family party:
Noodles. Aka carb overload.

Chinese chicken salad? I know. She wanted it.

The participants:
Porters.
Devin and I.
Laura and Annie

Of course this is what Julia was doing. And yes, Diane and Reidster willingly sat at the "fun table" aka kid table.

This preciousness was here too.
Annie not knowing what to wish for. Duh, Troy Bolton.

Delia's saying it best. How we felt after our chocolate brownies with chocolate frosting and chocolate ice cream overload.

Yes, Annie is already counting down to her 16th birthday - when she can date and drive. Yes, she tells us EVERY SINGLE DAY.

My Saturday Night

So, these people and I went to go see Jimmy Eat World playing the whole Clarity cd amazingness on Saturday night. And it was amazing. However, everyone in this picture, except the random boy and the Lamanite (Julia) in the background, were way too distracted during said concert.

What were we distracted by???

By making fun of the air-clapping, air guitar-chord-making, convulsion-having, hand-butterfly making group that surrounded us. I compare it to how those religious revivals are on tv. But better live and way more emotional. It was awesome for us, but bordering on orgasmic for most of the people around us, mostly being boys. Yikes.

p.s. Amy, I don't know why you keep getting cut off when I post this picture. If you click on it, you can see everyone. ?

My Achievement

So, yesterday at work,I worked for 9 hours. And I achieved my greatest feat yet. I finished one of these bags of heaven during my shift:

Yes. From start to finish. There were many witnesses. And I didn't get a headache/want to throw up/go into a diabetic coma. Yes! Yes! My teeth, however, now look like this:
Melissa, beware!
p.s. I found this picture in my microbiology power points and it was so disgusting I had to incorporate it. Bad book to read while eating? Microbiology.
