one full & fabulous day

Today was a fantastic Saturday! I slept in really late, then cleaned like a crazy woman for hours. I got all my winter clothes out, organized, did 5 loads of laundry (and actually put everything away--which is my least favorite thing to do ever!), went grocery shopping, hung out with my friend Tricia all night (We had "pumpkin night." We ate pumpkin shakes and carved pumpkins with her friend, Mark), and baked a birthday cake for my roommate. Whew. I feel like a got tons done though; and nothing beats the feeling of accomplishment.

my so-called life

Ha. Does anyone remember the TV show from the early 90's called My So-Called Life? I loved that show--mostly because I had a huge crush on Jordan Capilano (Jared Leto). Anyway, while I was searching on ABC.com for the latest episode of Grey's Anatomy (which isn't up yet--and was supposed to be recorded on my DVR, but somehow got all messed up), I happened upon some random old-school episodes of My So-Called Life. Random, but fun.

desperate housewives

Haha. I thought this was so funny. I don't know if you can read the words or not, but here is what it says:

Belle: "My husband is such an animal."
Cinderella: "Mine still drives a pumpkin."
Snow White: "My husband leaves me at home with 7 little ones."
Ariel: "Mine wants me to wear fish net stockings."
Sleeping Beauty: "I just pretend I'm asleep."

Disney's Desperate Housewives.

:o)

maria mena

For the past few months I have listened to tons of Maria Mena's music. Her songs are kind of sad in some ways, but I have related so much to them lately. This Norwegian singer speaks to me somehow. You should listen to some of her stuff.

revived

I went home to Idaho for the weekend. My family and I stayed at our cabin in Victor, ID. It was the best weekend I've had in a really long time because I just relaxed and got away from all my stresses for a little bit. I needed it.

Probably the reason it was such a great weekend was because of General Conference. It's funny how something that was so boring to me as a kid means the world to me now. Words cannot express how deeply my soul was touched by the words of living prophets. Watching eight hours of conference sailed by in what seemed like moments as I soaked in the counsel and teachings. I came away knowing that I have much to work on, but also much to be thankful for. My spirit feels revived.

Disneyland Trip!!! :o)

So, I'm a terrible, terrible blogger! I still don't know what I'm doing on here--but I thought I'd play around with adding photos. Man, do they teach a blogging class somewhere? haha. I need to take it if so!

So, my family and I recently went to Disneyland. The whole family wetnt. It was such a fun getaway. I needed it. We played all day for four days at Disneyland and California Adventure. My nieces, who are 4 and 6, had such a blast! Disneyland with little kids is the best!

reflecting...

Today I had a family reunion for all the extended family on my dad's side. Wow. It was actually a tribute to my Grandpa, who is the oldest living Griffiths descendent. It was pretty awesome to hear stories about my Gramps. He's an amazing little man. He's about my height--which is only 5'4" (he keeps shrinking!). How amazing that from him and my Grandma, there is now a fmaily of 94 people (their kids, in-laws, grandkids, and great-grandkids). Wow! I am lucky to have such an amazing family!
