MONDAYS ARE TOUGH...

believe me, i'd know.

not only do i have a two four page essays due by midnight, but combine that with the little-to-no sleep i got when i went down to california this weekend and i am in for one heck of a monday.

but you know what? you have the power to make any day better! this is what is making my monday a whole lot better :) and also what is making me laugh out loud in the library right now...

click play, scroll and smile :)



dubstep chemist. come on guys, i'm a nerd. of course i'd find this humorous! 
the real question- how many times did this happen before they had to put this sign up?
these lanky limbs can't move much...
those kardashians.....
if you're ever bored, draw eyebrows on your dog until their next bath.



lets make this monday awesome. after all, it is the only april 1, 2013 we will ever get.

if that doesn't make you consider your mortality then i don't know what will...

Since I've Been Home...

I have:

Reunited with my best friends :)

Got the trips hooked on unsafe games. Prime example: running around the house whilst sliding on a blanket. (I'm the cool older sister, btw)

Experienced rejection from my own blood. It stings...

Accepted a fault of mine.

OFFICIALLY SUBMITTED MY MISSION PAPERS!!!!!!!!!!

Met JB at the local Barnes & Noble.

..........kind of......

Actively began to live this motto.

Became a model with my Ken Doll. Just humor us, please.


Rocked the hair clip like nobodies' business  (If you know me, you know I rock this clip when I am home to keep my hair out of my face. #shorthairproblems)

And danced to this song too many times to count. The triplets love dancing to this tune, I oblige because I am a sucker for anything 90's and am super cool. AM I RIGHT?! OR AM I RIGHT?! Hello? Anyone?

Go on, dance all light to that DJ with me!!!!!!

it runs in the family...



today, while i was studying the periodicals  the crowd breaks out into roaring applause for the fact that i am actually studying i had my pandora classical music radio on (because i am soooo sophisticated! am i right?! am i right?!?!?! hellllllooo? hellllloooo? okay, whatever) and i couldn't help but day dream because one can only focus on a study packet for so long... about how this whole studying fiasco would be so much more enjoyable if my family were there with me in the periodicals, breaking out into classic cutillo dance moves to music that wasn't mozart or clementi.

for those of you who are unaware of the rare talents of the cutillo clan, let me inform you: my family is quite possibly the greatest group of dancers that this earth has ever encountered, and i say that in the most humble sense. if you ever find yourself with an invite to one of our dance get-togethers, consider yourself as one of the lucky ones! your mind will be blown and feelings of intimidation are a normal side effect also slight confusion...maybe it is because we have awkward, long limbs that flail to and fro whilst dancing that makes watching us wildly entertaining, i'm not sure. but i am sure that when we all get together the dance floor can't handle our moves.

so if you ever find yourself in the pits of life, just ask my family to dance for you and i am 197% certain
that your day will be better, because let's be honest here, who wouldn't feel uplifted by a family of awkwardly amazing dancers who look ridiculous while dancing?!?! that's right... NO ONE.

here a couple of my family's favorite jams to **get down to.



ice ice baby- vanilla ice
getting jiggy with it- will smith

**WARNING: the chances of you starting to dance to these songs are very likely, so be sure to be in a place where public dancing is acceptable. the periodicals not being one of them... believe me, i would know.Image and video hosting by TinyPic

happy thursday! {ed. 13}

i've done something grievous and i come before all of you with a repentant heart... i've been a terrible thoughtless busy careless blogger and have missed my happy thursday post these past couple of weeks! really, i'm sorry guys. it's not my fault! blame it on school, trying to have a social life, (key word: trying not succeeding in) remembering to eat, shower and boys men. (more on that in the future...;) so now that i have humbled myself on the world wide web (which is kind of exposing, might i add...) will you forgive me? if you refuse to forgive me i will hunt you down with baked goods until you forgive me, am i clear? AM I CLEAR? i will force feed you my infamous brownies so you will eventually cave in. and you will cave in, believe me.

so now that we've fixed this little tiff of ours let's get to what we all came here for:
THURSDAY CELEBRATIONS!


current female crush:
alana. a.k.a honey boo boo.
seriously guys, i'm obsessed with this 6 year old. is that even legal to say as an adult?! whatevs, my love for her is never leaving. she is the sassiest, funniest, grossest and most bizarre child on planet earth and i just love her to pieces. my family is obsessed with her show and quote it quite a bit more than we probably should. (a dolla makes me holla, anyone?!?!) maybe i love her so much because she reminds me a lot of who i was at 6... i think we all have a little bit of honey boo boo child in us all- so embrace it! go here to watch her magical ways. believe me, you'll die of laughter. 

current male crush:
dr. mehmet oz
i have already professed my love for dr. oz in a previous happy thursday post (go here for a refresher!) but he is just so awesome that i had to do a repeat! i don't know what it is, but every time i see him giving open heart surgery on ny med  my heart begins to **palpitate! i don't know what it is, but something about doctors just gets me. (i secretly get excited when i have a doctors appointment... shh!) fellas, i've said it before and i will say it again- knowledge is sexy.  endofstory.

current song:
lovely cup by grouplove
this song makes me want to have a dance party. also this song is one of the songs the has been on constant repeat in our apartment because the roomies and i are seeing them (and a ton of other AMAZING bands) in salt lake this weekend! imsoexcitedthaticanbarelybreathe.

current quote:
this quite possibly is one of the sweetest things i have ever read. doesn't this just make you want to fall in love? the poetic power of words are incredible.


remember, wherever you all might be, that make this thursday special!
happy thursday!

**maybe if these heart palpitations keep up i'll be able to meet dr. oz and have him preform surgery on me! then i can really say he has touched my heart! ....a girl can dream can't she?!!?

the white album

you know paul mccartney played 'hey jude' at the olympic's opening ceremony
and despite me focusing intently on the great sir's performance,
i couldn't help but think of you.
mostly how completely excited you would be throughout the performance.
commenting on how paul was always the golden boy,
but george was still such an undercover cassanova.
how you would have thrown your head back,
let out your infamous chuckle of utter contentment,
and clasped your hands together when he invited the entire crowd to sing "na na na na na na naaaaa!"
probably saying something about the lasting effect their music has on people.
how he must have had everyone in that vast shakespeare stadium singing,
even that nostalgic wisher sitting on a comfy and worn couch in southern idaho.


you have that power that paul has whenever he sings, you know?

i hope this makes you want to dance.

i want to feel the sunlight on my face
i see the dust clouds disappear 
without a trace
i want to take shelter from the poison rain
where the streets have no name

happy thursday! {ed. 11}

 current female crush:
rose byrne.

she is just so completely stylish, classy and downright pretty. plus she is funny (has anyone seen bridesmaids?!) every girl can't help but be slightly envious! plus i am really wanting her hair right about now....

current male crush:
mat kearney.

i feel like saying "current male crush" is misleading. he is constantly my male crush, but i just think it would be bizarre for him to be featured here every week! i could go on and on and on about him, but i think you should find out for yourself as to why this man is a demigod. listen to his music, see him live and proceed to fall in love.

current quote:
"i am not afraid of storms, for i am learning how to sail my ship."
-- louisa may alcott 

current tune:
ho hey- the lumineers


i can't listen to this song and not smile. this video makes me just as happy! i'm glad it isn't one of those songs where the video completely ruins the beauty of the song. enjoy, just as i have been doing for the past three days :)

current obsession:
i could spend hours searching this website. this piece is so fascinating. the handiwork and details are just amazing. i hope to one day see it in person!

let's plan a trip to the met, yeah?

happy thursday!

reminder

"and God blessed the seventh day,
and sanctified it:
because that in it He had rested
from all His work
which God created and made."


i couldn't help but feel the love that He has for me today.
the sabbath is so special,
it is my wish to try and make each day as spiritual as the sabbath.
for i know that my Savior created this beautiful world for me to roam,
to take care of,
to dissect,
to question,
to photograph,
and draw,
to dance on,
and to create many miracles upon.

i sit in humble admiration of the healing powers that this day has upon faithful believers.
it's a reminder for the upcoming week,
one of love,
encouragement,
and repentance.

play me like an instrument, Father.
play songs that give you glory,
as they declare your tender mercies,
in sweet symphony.

i will not doubt, i will not fear;
God's love and strength are always near.
His promised gift helps me to find
an inner strength and peace of mind.
i give the Father willingly
my trust, my prayers, humility.
His Spirit guides; His love assures
that fear departs when faith endures.

i know the heart of life is good

Despite the Fact...
that I wake up earlier than any sane person should.Can you say walking zombie in the morning?! And don't even get me started on what my hair looks like at that time. For some reason my hair and 5 a.m. do not cohabitate well...

that the DirectTV man caused me to get in a little fender bender then ran away like a little sissy. MAN UP BUDDY BOY! iknowwhereyouwork.


that my deathly-allergy to cats is in full swing due to the fact someone decided to get a pet cat... Oh no  biggy guys, I will just hang out in the bathroom all day long since it is the only place that thing  hasn't been. *shiver* Excuse me while I stop breathing and die...

that the woman at Sears refused to smile at me, no matter how much I smiled at her (I actually looked quite silly in my attempt....)
I mean seriously! Smiling at me does not mean you will have to sign a contract saying we are besties til da end. I simply want to see your pearly whites! Is that too much to ask?!

that the Pretty Little Liars season premiere is on tomorrow night. I.WANT.IT.NOW.NOW.NOW.NOW! Sorry. Sometimes my inner Veruca Salt comes out.... Hehehe.


that I ate my red velvet cream cheese cannoli too fast... Oh how desperately I want those precious moments between the two of us back. I was selfish and took advantage of you, and I am forever sorry....


that I dropped a Pediasure can on my foot and now have a black bruise that is polluting the surface in it's entirety. You 100 calorie-in-liquid-form-evil-being, I loathe you! And btw, on your can it says "Tastes like a Homemade Vanilla Milkshake!" yeah, a homemade vanilla milkshake made from a dirty blender and rotten ice cream! barf.


But my boy, John, brings it all into perspective with this song:



Because after all, no matter what we may go through we all have it pretty amazing. Remember that while you jam to Johnny boy and admire his raspy, sexy, buttery-smooth voice. My oh my... Okay. I'm done. But John... Sorry. This time it's for real.

a letter to pit bull:

Dear Mr. Bull,

Is that what they call you? Mr. Bull? I am not sure due to the fact that I am not familiar with anybody who uses the species of the K-9 group as their name... So to avoid stepping on any of your toes I will address you as Mr. Bull for the remainder of this letter (simply because I know how egotistical some performers can get...)

Here's the thing, Mr. Bull: why are you in everyone's songs? No really, please enlighten me. Every time I turn on the radio and begin to jam to a new, hip song your voice interrupts it in the dance-break portion of the song. I understood when you collaborated with J-LO, T-Pain and Lil' John but then you did a song with Marc Anthony. I repeat, you did a song with Marc Anthony. Really Pit Bull, reeeeeaaaaalllly? I know that your intentions were good, thinking, "Hey! Maybe if I help him out then he will become cooler and people will stop making fun of him for being the lesser in the J-LO/Marc relationship!" I'm sorry, but you didn't help him out... Is it too demanding of me to ask you to go on a music-hiatus for a little while? I just want to be able to dance like nobodies business to a couple of songs without having you come through my speakers saying something about "Miami" or "Cuban girls"... I'm only asking for a couple of songs, that's it.

Sincerely,
Someone Who Wants Their Music Back.
