minute to win it.

our ward hosted it's very own minute to win it competition last week.
there were laughs aplenty as our team ran from station to station.

for one of the challenges, jason put a baseball in the bottom
of a nylon and then put it on his head and tried to knock
over each water bottle in less than a minute.

junk in the trunk might've been my fave challenge.
poor johnny was picked to complete the task.
a kleenex box + 6 ping pong balls + shimmy and shake
those balls out of the box in 60 secs or less.
pure hilarity!

6 challenges later...lookie here! winners winners chicken dinners.
sign me up for the real deal.

sparkle sparkle.

i begged mo mo AND g.
fingers crossed for this particular present
under the tree.

tweet tweet.

how do you feel about twitter?
i kinda like it. it's a test of wits, really.
to be funny/smart/poignant in 140 characters or less?
NOT for the faint of heart, people. i do love a challenge.
i'm not always successful but i'm a work in progress.
follow my progress here.

play by play.

after a long, hard, half a week...
last wednesday evening went a little something like this:

6:00pm
dinner with angel

8:00pm
get text from friend giving away
ingrid michaelson concert tickets

9:00pm
hit the road to LA

10:00pm
arrive at music box just in time for
ingrid to take the stage

10:00-11:45pm
bliss

we make our own fun.

last night, after a most delicious lebanese dinner,
most of us were hanging around + making weekend plans.
meanwhile, there were games afoot.


sometimes devin is what you might call an instigator.
enter, the bump stop game.


brian + dusty quickly jumped on board.
i love how dusty shuffles along.


brittany, never one to be left behind, was up next.
brittany's flailing arms are the highlight of this bit.


and rounding out the night, we have the prodigal son, scott busby.
what he lacks in skill, he makes up for in grace, no?
aaaaand i'm pretty sure he pulled a muscle on this schennanigan.

my friends make me laugh. a lot.

trifecta.

the distance. pretty sure, my webcam is my best friend.
don't worry, martha and seth are a close second and third.

pop song of the day.


ingrid michaelson. i'm a fan.
her latest single is more pop than indie
but i love it just the same. the lyrics
are super sweet and this acoustic version
has some pretty fun bits.
gotta love the uke.

boobs legsly.

so i've been pretty neglectful of fashion week this year.
neither the time, nor the inclination right now i guess.
but i DO have time to pull a GG and gossip about the fact that
everyone is heralding blake lively as fashion week's it girl.
really, fashion week? really, anna wintour? REALLY?!
i mean, those legs ARE amazing but c'mon now.
blake lively's "sense of style" is SNORE.

boring.

boring-er.

boring-est + totally dated + so NOT stylish.

the best part of blake acting as the fashion world's
little pet these days, is it gives m'peeps over at
go fug yourself plenty of material to work with.
in their world, she's known as boobs legsly.
if the shoe fits, wear it on the runway.

now, if you don't mind, i'm switchin' from haterade
to diet coke for the remainder of the evening.
only nice + positive things to say about blake from here on out.
promise.

her legs ARE great.

glamping.

the ladies of sc5 are kickin' it old school and headed
to girls camp this weekend. honestly, i'm not much of a camper.
i'll be meetin' up with them a little after the kickoff festivities
but better late than never, right?

looking forward to:

+ road trippin' with this girl
+ becoming one with nature
+ camping food (tinfoil dinners. duh.)
+ giggling with m'sc5 ladies into the wee hours
+ craftin' it up girls camp style

nothin' like "roughin' it" to bring people together.
i'll let you know how it goes.
pray for me.
