Good in the World

I stumbled upon this while wasting I was being productive on Pinterest from my fellow blogger and great pal, Madi!  I just love how this quote made me change my perspective on on life in so few words. Simple really is powerful!
I feel like in today's world we often assume that everyone has ill intentions and are only out to get us. Let's be honest here, that's no fun for anyone! I don't know about you, but frankly I am spiritually exhausted from the mistrust, disbelief and pain that is within the world. You and I, let's make a change! Let's heed to these wise words and try a little harder to be a little more optimistic each day. And by the end of it, we will see how great of an impact we made on not only ourselves, but most importantly others.

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland is one of the most inspirational and wise men in my eyes. He is an apostle of the Lord and if you would like to find out more about him/modern-day apostles, go here!

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?!!?

insane in the membrane {ed. 2}

It's that time again... You know, that time where you start speaking in a foreign tongue that has not been established as a language by a linguist at random intervals, having your little sister pull you down the tile hallway instead of walking because it "stretches the hamstrings" total lie, btw. I just am finding alternatives to walking. Totes fun, if I might add. and softly humming Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend" every night as you sleep because it give you that warm feeling in you tummy like when you were five.

WAIT. You're meaning to tell me you don't do that when you are feeling a little lot of loopy?!

*nervous laugh* Hahahahaha, yeah.. Me neither! Whomever would do that is a bonaifde lunatic who needs to find a home in the loony-bin! HAHAHAHA.... Not me... Hahaha...

ANYWHO! To release some crrrrraaazzzy steam here is part deux of this wacky post.

Say the last part in Harry's voice.It makes this picture that much more enjoyable and true!

Wait for it.... AHH! There it is! You two would have never worked. Obvi.

That song of hers is ridiculously over-played and depressing. BUT this makes me hate the song less and giggle.

A-TO-THA-MEN!

Excpt mine doesn't have the frame.. It is that barren.

She had all of our blood boiling. Evil fiend disguised in a pink frou-frou get out of Harry's life!

My final warning to all of you.

*Shiver*

...and if it's not I pray I will have the self control to  not harm those in my vicinity.

The girl sitting next to them: "what chuu doing to da baby? Shoot, you gonna hurt him! I ain't playin with chuu, cut it out!"

i'm done. sorry.

I knew that they all had a sense of humor! The history books just like to focus on the wars and debt and other irrelevant things. Let's focus on the jokes they told! Can I get an amen?!? CAN I GET AN AMEN?!? ...hello? Is anyone there?

Don't even try to say you have not done any of these. DON'T EVEN TRY.

The purpose of this is to give you the push you need to begin training uber hard for the Zombie Apocalypse... Yeah, the P-90X might hurt now but you'll be thanking me later when they aren't eating your liver and slurping your brain juice! Too much?

Never noticed until now.It all makes so much sense now...

 This had me going for a solid 3 minutes... Imagine it. Laugh, go on... Don't feel bad. Hard fruits hitting faces is HILARIOUS! Didn't you know?

Another U2 joke.. I just got myself stuck in a moment that I couldn't get out of! What can I say?! Swoooosh! Another U2 joke! Can you spot it? I'm too funny, too 

funny! not really...

I hope these made you giggle even slightly as much as they did to me... Because I sounded like a choking Alfalfa when I saw these! Not a pretty sight/sound, I tell you.

happy thursday! {ed.7}

Ever been woken up at an unthinkable time by a not-so-nice patron? Not fun, huh?! Sadly, this is how my Thursday began. But there was no way I was going to let that ruin my Thursday! NO-SIR-EE! It's my duty for all of planet Earth (especially ya'll!) to be in a joyous mood on Thursdays. It's a heavy load, but someone's gotta do it....
Leave it to my favorite T.V. show, Scrubs, to turn a blasé day into something incredible:

Watch this whenever the forecast of below-par day looms near. I promise it will brighten your day!

Current Female Crush:

Kim Zolciak-Bierrman

Her show, Don't Be Tardy For The Wedding is my new guilty pleasure! She is funny, a loving mother to 3 (another on the way) and isn't afraid to be herself. She is a straight-talking Georgia Peach who loves diamonds like no one I have ever seen before! Watch her show tonight at 6:30 on Bravo! She is revealing her real hair for the first time on tonight's show. YES, THAT IS A WIG SHE IS WEARING! Crazy, right? Guuuurrrl, you make me wish I could rock dem wigs just like chuuu.

Current Male Crush:

Dr. Mehmet Oz

The epitome of man, I tell you. He recieved his undergraduate from Harvard Univeristy no big deal  then went on to obtain an MD  from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and The Warton School. He is a duel American-Turkish citizen, getting his Turkish citizenship by serving in the Turkish military. He is a Cardiovascular surgeon, husband, father and advocate of a healthy lifestyle. On his show he had a colonoscopy preformed which revealed he had a pre-cancerous polyp; by doing that it saved his life. Dr. Oz, you are the man of my dreams. Knowledge is sexy. endofstory.

Current Tune:

Waiting on the World to Change by John Mayer

This is Dr. Oz's favourite song. And by default now it is mine too.... See Mehmet, we have SO MUCH in common. Maybe wanna catch a John Mayer concert then get married? Okay cool, see you there baby cakes!

Current Quote:

Happy Thursday!

happy thursday! {ed 6}

I think that we have reached that momentous point in our relationship where you all know by now of my deep love for Thursdays... (pssst... If you have already forgotten like that one time when you didn't bring me flowers on Valentine's day don't worry! Just click the words and BAM! your memory will come flashing back to you!) And as of late, this love has become even more bountiful in my heart due to the fact that Thursdays were my dearest friend, Christian, erm, I mean, Elder Sagers P-Day.  Is it coincidental that my all-time favorite day was turned into his preparation day? I think not. I believe their was an orchestrator to all of this whom so kindly planned it all out this way knowing that it would give me even something more to look forward to every Thursday!

Well, friends, this was Elder Sagers last P-day on a Thursday in the MTC as of now! (enter a deep exhale of sadness with the lower lip jutting out... Wait, this isn't gaining your sympathy?! It was always a charmer when I was 7!) He is off to Charlotte, North Carolina until he recieves his Visa then he will jet off to Sweden! I am bursting at the seams with happiness for this boy! I can't wait for him to get to Charlotte... But I cannot wait even more for him to finally get to the land of the Swedes! I also cannot wait to find out when his P-Day is so until I see his next email home I will re-read all of his previous emails to the point where I will be able to recite lines from them!  I mean... Umm...You know, to work on my Swedish... Ya, I'll go with that one.

NOW BACK TO THE SCHEDULED PROGRAMMING:

Current female crush:

Heather Dubrow.

The newest housewife to the cast of The Real Housewives of Orange County. (a.k.a my biggest indulgence!) Maybe I like her so much because she is the only one in the group that is anti-drama. Maybe it is because she sees through phony women in a blink of an eye (you know who you are, Alexis Bellino! *cough cough) Maybe it is is because she is a woman of class who chooses sophistication over the usual-how do I say this without offending someone.... trashy and overdone O.C. ways. Or maybe it is because she is the only brunette of the group. Us brunettes gotta stick together...

Current male crush:

Liam Neeson.

This man is amazing. AHHH-MAAAYYY-ZIIIING! Not only is he an excellent actor, father, philathropist and forever hottie, but this man is a widower which has my heart swell for him. He is so strong and so suave. I really cannot get enough. For pete sakes, he fought Alaskan wolves in his last movie... WITH HIS BARE HANDS! I think it is safe to say based on his movie career that no one messes with Liam; NO ONE... not even wolves.

Current tune:

For what it's worth by Buffalo Springfield.

I don't think anything I say could make this classic even better than it already is... So I will leave you with that^^.

Wise, wise words Mr. Gilbran.

HAPPY THURSDAY!
**I know I promised in my last post that my next post (which would be this one if you are having a hard time keeping up...) would be part 2 of mine and Christian's adventure. Hold on tight, dear friends! You will have to exert that patience that mommy dearest taught you all when you were kiddos! Wait, she never did? You never heard "patience is a virtue"?! Oooookay, this is awkward....
