Just Another Day

[A picture of Sasha Dearest that I took a while back.]


-I Am-
Listening To: Just Another Day-Oingo Boingo

(and from there comes my not-so-original post title)
Craving: Waffles or Pancakes...One of those sweet breakfast foods. :)
Thinking About: Getting through life one day at a time.


-Album Of The Moment-





Dead Mans Party


-Life & Stuff-


Spent yesterday in wonderful wonderful Prescott. Where it's always so much cooler and breezier than in Phoenix, and where everything has that small town feel. It's the closest thing to the East Coast you'll get here in Arizona.

Anyway, we went to spend some more time with the cousins. Lots of fun. There seemed to be some sort of hula-hoop/juggling party going on at the square, odd but cool. Went to the candy store! It's the best I got some of the taffy (it's the best taffy ever to grace the planet), and then we had dinner at Texas Roadhouse, I think it's a chain? My parents and my second cousins (who are my mom's cousins, my fourth cousins are the one's my age seeing as I have no first cousins....confused yet?) promptly told the waitress it was my birthday. Not cool...it's a couple weeks away and I HATE those weird loud songs they sing to you in places like this. Oh well. It was definitely embarassing. They had me sit on a saddle in the middle of the walkway and screamed their version of "Happy Birthday" kindly *cough* not *cough* using my name, and the fact that I was turning eighteen...oh dear. It's funny to look back on, and I did get to celebrate a bit with my cousins which was great :) But still weird. Haha. My brother had the best moment of the night by far though. You know those guys who go from table to table making balloon animals? Well when he stopped at our table my brother (Who, mind you is fifteen years old but looks older than I and is nearly six feet tall and always well dressed.) looks at the man and as loud as he can with this adoreable todler like squint on his face says with utmost enthusiasm "I WANT A PARTY HAT!" >.< (That was his face >.<). The guy looked at his so funny! It was great.


Haha but to top off my embarassment I find that my mom has posted pictures of my "Birthday" at TX Roadhouse on Facebook...dear lord...


But all in all, it was great fun! I really hope that we can go up there more often and that my cousins will come to AZ again soon! And maybe I can visit them in WA? (Hinting to whichever parent might be reading this? Do you guys even read this anymore?)

-Random Stuff That's Happened This Past Week-



Finished the "Julie & Julia" audiobook!

Played lots of piano, and can now play a number of Regina songs off her album "Soviet Kitch"

Ate at The Orange Table again <3>

Got my room clean after a week of not putting anything away.

Sucessfully made hard boiled eggs if you're my mom you know how hard this is for me...


Went to Dairy Queen for the first time in my life. Had a cookie dough Blizzard. Still not sure what the hype's about.


Discovered a Lush store at the mall here :)


Decided to start cooking a lot more. Things more elaborate than Tuna salad sandwiched and Chicken and vegetable curry over rice.


Affirmed my slight obsession with The Smiths whilst hearing them being played over the loud speaker at Lush.

The Sound of the Smiths


p.s. apologies for any and all formatting issues in this post. blogger is a bit off today. i think it deleted this post mid-composure like five times, and everytime i try to recover it it comes back with strange ideas of how large a paragraph should be.

Awwe that sounds like a really fun time with your cousins! And yum for great tasting taffy - I LOVE saltwater taffy (I don't know if that is the same thing, or if it's a Jersey shore type of thing).
And that is so funny about everyone saying it was your birthday when you were out to dinner! =) Definitely fun memories, even if it was embarrassing!
Congrats on making your hard boiled egg - I don't even know how to scramble eggs (but then again, I don't eat eggs, so I've never had the motivation).
Oh, and I love The Smiths too! Thanks for sharing so many of their fabulous songs - and congrats on your award =)

I agree with your Disney conspiracy theory. There is something evil lurking! I am glad you and your mom were not taken to some lab or placed in a room with a constant stream of hannah montana songs.

I hate getting the happy birthday treatment at restaurants! I feel highly embarassed and want to hide under the table. Texas Roadhouse is chain. We have like 2 in my area.

I read your prior post where you mentioned you might want to do a semi vegetarian diet. I am a vegetarian but I always tell people it helps animals and the environment alot even if you just cut back on the amount of meat you eat. Even a little bit can help : ) Glad you are thinking about it.

It's completely awesome you are mastering Spektor songs!

Lauren said...

Aww thanks for the award <3

We need to go to fashion square soon so I can check out that Lush store! I had no idea we had one around here.

Lol! I'm so glad you guys had fun in Prescott (except for that birthday mix-up at the restaurant... haha). I'm glad you got a chance to visit Whiskey Row, that's such an awesome area. I wish I could see the pics! Your mom sent me a friend request on Facebook ages ago, but for some reason it'd never let me accept it!

Hope to see you guys soon!

I've never been a big salt water taffy person... even though i live in salt lake city and we're famous for it. haha I LOVE the smiths! And let me just say that I am extremely jealous that you can play regina on the piaaaaaaano I love her.
