Yes, I know my Thankfulification didn't get finished as with all things that I start. Someday I will finish something from start to finish. Perhaps I need to make a list of goals, since I don't have any written down.... anywhere. Hmmm.

..... In the meantime I will tell you about this experience:




The only Nutcracker I have ever seen has been the Barbie version, which I do like, even with the odd game-like animation and corny lines. So I was excited to see an actual un-talking version.

I like culture. Plays, theater, concerts etc. so I was sure I would absolutely love this.

Let me tell you, the costumes were beautiful, the scenery was beautiful, the dancing was lovely and enchanted, so was the music. So what was my overall thoughts? I was bored. I don't know how or why, but that's how I was. So I commend all of you who really enjoy it.

Once upon a time I thought that I was a ballet person who would enjoy every performance, but now I am sure that I am not.

: Roommates that do some of my laundry that buys me more time.
: a sister that folds laundray and who takes care of me the best she can
: the knowledge that I retain for a test that I didn't study for
: Muscles- to do anything but recently I realized how amazing they really are
: The money in my account I feel like I am doing pretty well.
: Free food that comes with buying a pan (that I did need)
: Recipes for pizza dough that are super delicious
: Heat and AC

Thankfulification { Day 14 }

Ten Things I love about My Hair and am Super Grateful for:

1) it grows fast

2) it's shiny

3) I don't have to use special products

4) it's long

5) it's my natural color

6) the highlights get lighter in the summer time

7) I can get it cut and if I don't like it it will grow fast and blend in better.

8) It curls well and straightens well, without the use of hairspray (except in humidity, but who has perfect hair in that scenario?)

9) I can do almost anything to it if I really have the time and patience (which I don't )

10) It's soft and silky (most of the time) .

Thankfulification {Day 13}

Fallen Leaves: As I walked back from getting ingredients for pecan pie with Michelle, we weaved through a park, meeting grandmother willow and walking under her long leafy fingers, and walking past her shelter into a thick plush carpet of leaves. It was so thick it was like walking through water or snow, without being wet. If we kicked just a little bit it would rain bright colors of crunchy stuff.

Two things I'm grateful for. Making pecan pie from scratch and walking through the leaves

Fun!

Yum!

Thankfulification {Days 9, 10, 11, 12}

Well, I think I'm like what, four days behind on this. I really have been thankful, I just didn't feel like blogging. So here is a catch up post.

Day 9 : My roommate and I went to a Latin dancing place. In my ballroom dance class we are learning the salsa and I thought that it was really really fun. I told my roommate this and she told me about a place that does Latin dancing where they teach a lesson first and then they have a dance afterward. One of her friends teaches there and is a dance competitor.

On Tuesday night at 9:30 the fun began, the building was so old and cool, just like old ballet studios that we always picture. The lesson they were teaching was about back bends. FUN! I somewhat got it down. My feet on the other hand not so much.(yep that's kinda what I was doing, although I'm not as agile...yet)

The thing that was so great about going to this, was that every guy that I danced with knew how to lead. It was so great! Plus I got to learn some new dances and have a refining lesson on my cha-cha. I thought I had it down before but apparently not. Taking a ballroom dance class is one thing, but actually applying it is a completely different experience. So in all this I am thankful for 1) my ballroom class (because I do still like it) 2) my roommate for knowing about this and taking me with her 3) the opportunity to go and have so much fun and 4) guys who can lead.

Day 10: This day I had a math test, ugh. When I was studying over the past three days I felt like there wasn't enough time. Then as I was taking the test there seemed to not be enough time. Both in my studying and during the test, I was pressured by time and my brain completely froze. I knew the information, I just felt like I didn't have enough time to process, remember and understand what I was doing. So today, I am thankful for when I do have enough time, so that I'm able to think.

ƸӜƷ

Day 11: These lovely people


Day 12: Blankets, more specifically, bed comforters. It's just so nice to snuggle with the covers.

Doesn't that bed just look so comfy

Thankfulification {Day 8}

Umbrellas: Because quite frankly yesterday was cold and I think that having that extra extended padding against the snow helped me out a lot.

Thankfulification { days 6 & 7}

Ability to Walk Along Lovely Trees and With Fabulous people (oh how I wish I had a camera) :

I got to go to dinner with lovely people, the event being provided for by two very lovely people as well (They are in this thankfulification post. So I'm very very very grateful for them and every thing that they are able to provide for me. They may seem like a sidenote in this post but really they are not, because quite frankly they might be in another post as well.)

I ate to too much of my hearts content and was not sure if I would be able to function during the rest of the night. Luckily I got to go on a walk with my neighbor and see all the different trees and find some colorful leaves for the autumn leaf color wheel that she is making.

Then on Sunday I got to bond with my new roommate and my older but still getting to know roommate. Then I had the opportunity to go on a drive up the leafless canyon with Heidi and her fabulous roommate Ashley and then we went on a walk on a little path. They fed me well while we watched the amazing CES Fireside.

There's a lot I am grateful for in this post, but most of them will hopefully have their own spotlight later on.

Thankfulification {Day 5}

The Sun: for obvious reasons and I just really don't like walking home after math with no jacket because no matter where I go, I have to walk from bright warming sunshine and into the freezing shadows of buildings or trees. And it's just so darn cold. It's like turning the shower from hot to cold.

Plus, it's just so happy

Also I really like this picture even though sun and rain are complete opposites.

Thankfulification {Day 4}

The Temple I Grew up Around: Yesterday I went to the Logan temple with my roommate. I was really excited to go since 1) I have never been to the Logan Temple and 2) I had been meaning to go(just like I still need to go to the bank) and never had a ride or the time to do so. My only free time is one and a half hours in the middle of each day, which never feels like enough. I was very grateful for Ashley and that she makes the effort to attend as regularly as possible and that she was willing to go at a time that was convenient for me.

I should have had the same feelings in every temple, but the Logan temple just wasn't Idaho Falls and I felt homesick. Such an odd feeling to have. Don't get me wrong, I am very grateful for the Logan temple and I still felt great going, but I really truly miss this one:

And of course this one

Price of Invulnerability

It's kinda long but it is really interesting and good.

Thankfulification {day3}

The other day one of my roommates moved out. She took with her the only decorations on the walls in our living room (a transformer poster and about six small black and white photos) and the little entertainment "center". One of my other roommates decided that we needed decorations, I agreed. So she cut up her calendar of flowers and went to work all evening and went to DI to get an entertainment center only to come back with pictures and then head back to get the one we decided on that was already gone within the ten minutes she was home. In the end, we rearranged the living room and decided to wait for an entertainment center that we will love so we can paint it bright colors.

So what am I thankful for today? So many many things, but CAMERAS are going to be featured.

You see I don't have one. I wish I did, but I don't. There's so many things at school that I would love to take pictures of, whether it's doing stuff with roommates, going to events, walking along Old Main Hill and seeing the temple wrapped in brightly colored leaves, or the butterflies flying in the flowers in front of Old Main.

But for those people who have one I am very grateful. There is only one in existence in our apartment right now. Only one person owns one.

But we our apartment is benefited by cameras because of the pictures of flowers that we are using as decoration. We are surrounded by beautiful things and nature is able to come inside because of cameras.

I can travel to places I've never been and travel back in time...... travel to places I have been and have all the thoughts and feelings return as a result of looking at photos.

....and see everyone in my family while I'm away (I really think it's time for a new good family photo)

Thankfulification {Day2}

:Oatmeal: Something this morning I was incredibly grateful for. I actually have been grateful for it for a couple months now. It's soooooo soooo delicious and I find myself craving it all the time.

It's quick and easy, all you have to do is add hot water and you have a nice hot breakfast at work.

So so delicious and comforting

Again, quick and easy all you have to do is grab one. Add some carrots a yogurt and a cheese stick and you have easy quick lunch.

Plus, look at all that delicious goodness that is mainly made up of oatmeal butter and sugar. So many fabulous salivating foods that oatmeal consists of. I adore it! And am oh-so thankful for it.

P.S. Does someone want to make those oatmeal sandwiches for me?

Thankfulification, Or Simply Thankful

Halloween is over and it was great! Dressing up as Medusa was fabulous, but getting the costume together was stressful and somewhat last minute. For the last three years I have had an idea of who I want to dress up as but I never make the costume early enough, this next year I am making it in the summer so that I will actually be it. Anyway here are some peeks at my costume this year. The party I went to with a cavewoman and the PaperBagPrincess

My Other Roommates(aka Neighbors) and their friends. They all went to the Howl.

My lovely "Doll" of a Roommate. Funny story behind her costume :)

Us three grils again.

That was my Halloween! Hope your's was great as well. Since Halloween is over my Halloweenification processes are over as well (If you hadn't noticed I kept that going for a long time. ;) ) It is now November, time for cleaning up the cobwebs and spiders and making houses lovely for families to gather.

I'm starting a new thing now. Thankfulnification. No I won't be stealing facebook photos to make people look thankful(because I don't think it works that way) but I will be thankful this month. Everyday there is more than thousands of hundreds of things that I could be thankful for and decide to blog about, however, I will probably only have one or two each day because I will actually have the time to do that.

Here's the beginning of Thankfulnification

Day One: Harry Potter

Not what most people would be thankful for on their first day of Thankfulnification huh? Well it is what it is. Who knows how many obscure and random things I will be grateful for through each day.

If you haven't noticed I LOVE Harry Potter. Ever since I read the books in third grade. My best friends became even closer as I read the books and I've had sooooo many good times as a result.

Not to mention this guy was at a party I went to on Halloween. I wasn't creeped out at first because he had a snake wrapped around his wrist! I thought he was so cool. But then old Voldy started to grow on me and I didn't really like his costume so much anymore. I didn't ever really think that Voldemort was that scary of a villain, at least in the movies. But when you have someone dress up like Voldemort and be in the same room it starts to get creepy. Even Medusa couldn't handle it.
