quote of the week.

 

"Those who are trying to find love will end up with hatred, frustration and insanity. Those who are trying to find wealth will end up totally neurotic, psychotic and totally crab. Because if you are trying to find something, you have basically, intentionally, intuitively, and individually accepted that you do not have it."
Yogi Bhajan

i love this.

 

happy weekend!

 i was planning on going to logan tonight to celebrate adam's birthday... for those who don't know adam, he was one of my best friends in logan and turned the big 24 yesterday!

 

us on his birthday last year!! time flies.

happy 24th adam! make sure kiara gets you a present.

however, it turns out i can no longer head up north this weekend. one of myold friends from logan who lives in ogden now was in a serious car accident 2 days ago. so tonight will instead be spent seeing him in the hospital since he is out of ICU. get well, chace. :[

ugly face.

a favorite tradition of mine and my sisters is the "ugly face" game. i got it from some friends... and spread it to the family almost immediately. any time someone leaves their camera lying around, we pick it up and take a picture of us making a hideous face. [i usually win...turns out i'm really good at the ugly face game..!] here is our most recent work, taken on my sister casie's camera:

me and my nephew matthew, who loves the ugly face game:]

me, matthew, and sister kylie.

beautiful.

quote of the week.

i know i have posted this quote on the blog before..

but it is my favorite quote of all time. and that's saying something, because i am a quote FANATIC. but this one has always struck me, much more so than any other.

To be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.

man of the house and other things.

this week is a crazy one. my mom is on a cruise [she's so lucky...i really don't want to talk about it...boo.] my dad is out of town for business. so it's me and the sistas, who are 13 and 11, so it's more of a good time than actual "babysitting."
however, we still have a man of the house present while papa is gone.. and he is a ferocious beast who will protect us and devour any intruder!!

hahahah.

it's true that sir timothy, aka timmy, timitron, and tiny tim, is our so-called "guard dog". 

he is more here to give me someone to hang out with than to protect us i think. either way, i'm playing mom for the next 3 days... keeping track of where my sisters need to be and when, making sure they get to school and do their homework, clean and cook, AND my usual work and school. now i know what my mom means when she says being a mom is a full time job.
