this is my life.

good memories are all I have.

here, for your reading pleasure is a list of things that suck.

this lease i'm reading. it's 36 pages of crazy boringness. it sucks.

everyone in my office is sick but me. every.single.person. i feel like i should don protective clothing before walking in. that sucks.

my pandora station is playing the worst medley of music i've heard in some time. it really sucks.

it's payday and almost all of my money is already earmarked. super sucks.

deeeeebbie downer.

here are some thing that don't suck.

someone just gave me wonton soup. delicious.

my mother is coming to visit for the weekend.

i have a package from urban outfitters arriving on monday.

it is friday.

haaaaaaaappy weekend.

my eyes shall see light again.

i love this. so much.

found via poppytalk.

taken at all.

i never knew the grammy's could make me so happy. i've watched this video many times in the last week (which, considering it's 8 minute run time, shows i can pay attention to things sometimes) and it has yet to not make me smile. i crush on mumford & sons and the avett brothers so hard.


other music i'm really enjoying.


Up In The Air Soundtrack
even if you haven't seen the movie you should listen to the soundtrack. (but also maybe consider watching the movie) i had a really hard time deciding which song to post...it was my sophie's choice. also, i'm not sure if i'm allowed to make that reference when i haven't actually seen the movie....  but since i'm on kind of a black keys kick (see below) i went with dan auerbach.





The Black Keys
listening to them makes me feel cooler. i also recommend listening to them if you are going to be walking around. you will feel like a bad ass.





Best Coast - Crazy for You.
so i was little late to this party, but the point is i showed up and stayed late. and helped clean up.





um. don't watch if you have a serious dislike of....cats.


also, this video is amazing.
even though the idea of riding a tandem bike with a clown really creeps me out.


wow. i kind of went off on a tangent there. anyway, i'm done. and i won't be offended if you don't watch any of the videos. (except for maybe the first one. but i will still acknowledge you in public)


[sidebar] best coast, black keys, AND mumford & sons will be at coachella. happy.

a lunchtime story.

a couple of days ago i decided to come home for lunch instead of wander around the streets of salt lake. i was feeling a little ish and i really wanted a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. for all of the eateries downtown i have yet to find one that makes a pb&j that can rival my own.





the weather was so nice i decided to eat my lunch on the porch. (and now i'm glad i enjoyed it while i could, as there is once again snow on the ground. i'm not complaining though, so far salt lake winters are a walk in the park compared to logan (literally. we walked in the park on sunday. JACKET-LESS. ah! double parenthesis!))





on second glance, is it more creepy than cool to have a picture of my disembodied legs? let me know.

lessons learned in corporate life

some older staff members will share overly personal life details, such as their wife going through menopause, or their recent bouts of kidney stones AND constipation.

carrying a key fob automatically makes you feel important.


if a person feels something isn't appropriate for ladies' ears he can simply cover said ladies' ears with his hands.  (....apparently)


being cold and being cold in a dress are two very different things.


overall, stock brokers are pretty cranky.


if the elevator doors open i immediately exit, assuming it's my floor. it usually isn't.


small town life has not adequately prepared me for the technicalities of a world filled with escalators and revolving doors. i'm hesitant to use both.


i will eat anything that is consistently in front of me. i don't even like peanut m&ms, but since there's a jar of them on my desk i eat a minimum of 12 every day.


given my longtime phobia of being walked in on in the bathroom, needing a key to access the facilities is incredibly reassuring.

this happens far too often.

July 19.

new low. eating mandarin oranges out of the can with chopsticks because all the dishes are dirty.

also, i'm watching jersey couture...

i found this buried in the depths of my posts. i sometimes miss my summer life.

texts saved on my phone. part 3.

part one. part two.

Always is playing and now I miss you.

I knew we were best friends for a reason!! [in response to my love of pot-bellied pigs]

Don’t ha how cute I am? 

His name is WINSTON? I am sooooooo amused right now. Your new life is awesome.

Still alive down there condom girl? 

At one point in time all I could think was “My arm’s long enough to reach across this table I bet. If I swing quick she won’t even see it.” 

Sometime tomorrow nite I think and staying maybe until Sunday afternoon. Can we meet up. I know that sounds like a booty call. And it def is.

Sully went out of his way to get the door for me. Pretty sure the rest of the day will be a let down after this.

A girl with cleavage from here to Canada said, ‘omg your girls are so cute!’ she didn’t swear, she really said omg. I didn’t know people actually said that.

I feel like a radio sometimes. I was just singing weezers song that goes ‘ if you want to destroy my sweater’ & then mambo #5.

Oh no! Rub it on your hair. 

I dream of Saturday nights that don’t consist of me having to ride with my brother to get pizza while he waxes poetic about his love of night driving.

Maybe you’ll get to light his car on fire! I’ve always wanted to exact revenge on a cheating ex.

Me too…I was slightly awesome.

It’s been a long time…long time…since I left you…left you.

The words cheese bar fill my soul with much happiness.

Oh no! that’s super sad. We’ve had some great times in that car. …that sounded sexual and I wasn’t meaning that…

two pictures. also, a few words.

when my to-do list is so neat and tidy, it pains me to even cross things off.

inside these shakes is one ENTIRE frosted cupcake.

and that is why i love America.

both pretty pictures taken on my pretty phone by pretty me.
