My Observations

Observation #1:
So, when you pull out your old flowers to put in your new ones, do you ever feel like you are breaking up with them? That the old flowers gave you everything they had and you just took and took and then ripped them out and threw them on the sidewalk? Sometimes I feel like plants have feelings. Don't mock me.

Observation #2:
On Friday, I went to get my teeth cleaned by this person. And I realized that I'm not a freak and lots of people have "meat pockets" in between their teeth. And she gave me a tongue scraper. I am obsessed with it. How did I live life without it? The dentist might have told me "Wow, you really know your way around a dentist chair." It's because I have approximately 3 teeth that don't have fillings. And 2 of them are my front 2. I know, I'm w.t.

Observation #3:
This is my new favorite show. Goodbye, Office, Gossip Girl, anything else. This is now #1. It's How I Met Your Mother. And yet I have found no one else wherewith to share these feelings and quotes. I would date Frankenstein if he loved this show as much as I do. I will even tell tivo to not record Gossip Girl and to record the reruns of this. It is amazing. Watch it. I command you. Chuck Bass vs. older Doogie Howser? Doogie Howser wins it every time.

More One Word Reviews

Booooooo.

Yaaaaaaay!!!

Julia, you may have surpassed me as the funniest person in our family. I now relinquish the sash of "Most Hilarious" to you. You built a barricade between you and Reidster with salad dressing bottles. You=the bomb.

My Easter

So, a tradition we started about a year ago was that all us sisters go to the YW and the Relief Society Broadcast at conference time together. Then we go and eat tasty dinner. So, we all went to the YW broadcast together and it was AMAZING!!! Sorry, RS, I like the young women broadcasts way better. It gives you bite sized goals that you can accomplish. So, we are all doing the new Virtue goals together. And let me tell you, those goals are kind of INTENSE! It's like AP young women's. But it will be the bomb. p.s. This may be the last picture we see of our sister Amanda alive... she went to Honduras for a week. Come back please!
Next: Julia and Eden modeling at Easter dinner. We may need to lay off the ANTM watching..

Next: Easter dinner. It was awesome. Who doesn't love asparagi and jello in bunny molds? p.s. Rebecca- you are the bomb for sending the bunny molds! Easter dinner was dedicated to your awesomeness!

The end.

Boring

Sorry we've been boring lately. But not much exciting has been happening. But we have been watching a lot of this. So when Amanda and I were younger, we had a babysitter that would make us watch this with her every time she babysat. And she babysat every Friday night. It was kind of the Pride & Prejudice of the 80's. In conclusion, we can quote the whole movie.

followed by some this:
Yeah. this weekend we didn't see much sunlight. And Laura bought the 3 disc version of this:
Basically, our plan is to stay horizontal on the couch as long as possible. And we've recently been eating these layer by layer:
And who isn't REJOICING that these people are leaving! Superstition Ranch Market is a treat to go to now.

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.
