The Reading Rainbow!!!


Holy Cow.
Talk about smart cookie.
The Dali Lama is absolutely amazing. He is quickly becoming one of my heros.
I want so bad to have a conversation with him. Those would be some of the most amazing minutes of my life.
My dad bought this book he wrote called Ethics For The New Millenium. I started to read it and my dad let me take it because he said that it wasn't exactly a summer read. The first chapter was fine, but then the Dali Lama started talking about reality and what it is and my head started to spin too fast. haha I think I know what he meant, but these type of books are my favorite. So I will take the headaches with a smile. I am also reading Captivating, it is a Christian devotional-type book. It's pretty amazing it explores the nature of a woman's heart. It's crazy how accurately it describes what I am feeling. I love books that inspire me to become introspective. My favorite thing is to finish a book and feel like a different person. I hate wasting my time on poorly written books. I can't read LDS fiction novels, they are 2 dimensional with hardly any substance.

The Threesome.



Justin and Seth, together we are:
Ghost Hunter addicts.
wildly inappropriate.
in a battle to see who can be more awkward.
guitar players (in varying degrees of skill, me being at the lowest end of the spectrum).
fender fans.
people who like to eat dinner at 5 every night.
the threesome.

My body is my canvas, fashion will be my paint.



So I have a problem and a plan.

Problem: I am not a huge fan of my clothes, I feel frumpy and boring. I keep fluctuating in sizes so it seems pointless to buy clothes. But I feel like my clothes are just something to cover my body not a way of expressing myself. I don't have enough money to recreate a wardrobe.

Plan: Ok. This is going to take some effort. But it will work and I will be happy. So I think I am going to have Haley do this with me. Anyone else that wants to rise to the challenge, please do.

Step 1: Go through magazines and online stores and pick out pieces that I want in my wardrobe. And what I like about them. And making a picture notebook of it.
Step 2: Map out all the used clothing stores and ross' and then plan a route!
Step 3: Gather needed supplies; Smart water, granola, sweet mint gum, crocs, camera, and etc.
Step 4: Try and find articles of clothing similar to the previously discussed over priced pieces. It will be a marathon. I am thinking it will take all day, maybe even two. I want to redo my wardrobe for hopefully under $200.
Step 5: Wash all the clothes...twice.
Step 6: Spray my wardrobe in my perfume. And relish in my newfound expression.
