can you help me?

i can't figure out who this letter is supposed to go to. anyone have any suggestions??

see below

today i paid $2.97 a gallon for gas.

and i was really happy.

and that's pretty sad.

quirky? that's entirely possible

10 things you may not know (or want to know) about me:

1- unless it's a paper for school or something else important, i go out of my way to leave things uncapitalized (but i'm a stickler on punctuation). if open office tries to autocorrect, i undo it.

2- i'm consistently about 5 minutes behind schedule, but seldom consider myself as 'late.'

3- i can't leave things unread in my inbox. even if i haven't read it, i to change the email to 'mark as read'. if i don't i feel messy.

4- i can only fall asleep if i'm laying on my right side. everything else is very uncomfortable.

5- almost any movie has the capability of bringing tears to my eyes. happy, sad, sappy, whatever... i'll probably cry. if you don't believe me, just to kati. she's seen this happen MANY times. however, if i'm watching with boys, i'll try my darnedest to hold it in.

6- facebook/blog stalking: love it

7- i love everything awkward. i love making people feel awkward, i love feeling awkward. don't ask, i don't know why.

8- sending honeypots signed by other people makes me very very happy.

9- i've got mad procrastination skills (oh wait, everyone knows that already!) after several years in college, i've finely tuned these skills. i do a great job at putting something off (no matter the importance) until the last possible minute. homework, getting ready in the morning, leaving for work... you name it, i can come up with a way to procrastinate doing it.

10- i've recently come to the realization that i'm the mother figure in many of my relationships. for example:
-when i get home at night, the first thing i do is check to make sure kati is home and safe. i turn off the tv when she falls asleep with it on.
-i double check the deadbolt onthe door everynight (i don't want any strangers, or grant, breaking in).
-when colby rides his bike home from my apartment, i'll text him or ask him to text me to make sure he gets home safe.
-i tell people to not eat certain things because it might be unhealthy.
-i frequently tell people to do things themselves, but end up watching them over their shoulder to make sure they do it right.
etc. etc. etc. i can think of many more examples. i'm too young to be doing this...

what is something i don't know about YOU?

i'm a pack rat of sorts

i keep old notes/letters/etc around just cuz i hate to throw just about anything away. lauren's post about the break-up letter reminded me of a sweet love poem that brady mortensen and i found on the floor one morning, senior year of high school. obviously fake (brent keate and dan gray wrote it), and so i'm pretty sure we read it outloud to our class. it still makes me laugh.
for your enjoying pleasure:


To Mike:
The sun in my shadow
The rose to my thorn
My wonderful hunk

I was totally wrong by writing that poem
It made me cry all the way home.
I don't know why I wrote you that thing,
Cuz you are so nice, and to me, you do sing.

Something came over me, I don't know why
But to make this up to you, I will truly try
Because I realized after that long trail of tears
That I have been lonely without you over the year

How can I go on without you in my life
Because you could be my husband, and me, your wife
I really don't care what my boyfriend thinks
Because he is weird, obnoxious, and he really stinks

The only reason that I take him to be mine
Is because all the money, he really treats my fine.
But I shouldn't put money over the worth of a man's soul
And to be your love I will do anything, even pay a toll.

You should pound my boyfriend like a bozo the clown punching bag
And make fun of his mis-shaped head so he will be sad
Or even call him a hag
So he will be mad

What I'm trying to say is "Win me over"
But make sure I'm healthy and very sober
I just wanted to apologize for that mean mean letter
I hope I can kiss your wounds and make you feel better

so mike knippers came into town this past weekend. we all got together at ashlee's house and had a great time. it is a night i'll not soon forget (ok, i don't think i'll EVER forget it. some things are imbedded in my mind permanently). mostly we just talked and laughed (hysterically), took a trip to sonic, almost froze to death, and nearly forgot dan on the way back. here are some pics from the joyous occasion. great to see you mikey!

10 things i love about my car

some of you may not have heard about my car adventures this week. for those of you who have, just skip the next paragraph.

on friday my car started blowing out a lot of grayish-blue smoke. i was concerned but didn't have time to think about it since i was leaving town. on sunday, my awesome brother ben called and said he was looking for a new car and would i want to buy his? i said i was interested but i needed to figure out some things. well on monday, en route to lehi, my car gave up the ghost (as in, needs a new engine). right after that happened, ben called to say that he'd found a new car so his old one was mine as soon as i wanted it and he told me where the key was. i just feel really blessed as far as the timing of everything goes, thanks so much ben!

SO--i am now a proud possessor of a 1996 Saturn SC2. let me just tell you a few of the things that i LOVE about this car:
1- it is NOT the same age as me (i'm a sucker for younger men)
2- the locks both lock AND unlock (imagine that...)
3- both seat belts are fully functional (BORING...)
4- it has a radio/cd/mp3 player (i won't have to sing outloud to entertain guests anymore! actually, i might miss that...)
5- it has a mirror on the passenger side
6- the headlights pop up when you turn them on (SO snazzy)
7- it has a spoiler (now, if only it had a hood scoop)
8- it has all 4 hubcaps (this is real luxury folks)
9- it has leather seats
10- it has power steering

look alikes

kati and i and our friends have had some GREAT laughs today going over old pictures of us. man, i used to be a HUGE dork! (and OBVIOUSLY i'm not now...) no, but honestly, i'm surprised mom let me out of the house somedays, i think I would have been embarrassed to be seen with me. clearly, i had an AMAZING fashion sense, hahaha.

that aside, there were two pictures we looked at where sarah and i look REALLY similar- at least I think so. (except for the fact that she's way less of a dork than i was.)

so take a look. what do you think? sisters???
