A penny for MY thoughts.

Things I saw today that I want.








Materialistic... what a downer.

Anyways, I gave my cat a bath today and I have some brutal battle scratches going right now. Let's just say I have my share of Scoobie Doo band aids on.

Sorry to share sad news.

To sum it up, some teenagers in the UK thought it would funny to beat a dog who had escaped his house and got lost.

What kind of people live in this world these days???

Blast From the Past

And no, I'm not talking about that Brendan Frasier movie.

I'm talking about this!



Side note: If you can't tell, I'm the one in the middle with the dog.







It's funny how much changes from when you're a child. Like being more care free, how genuinely simple life was, wearing hideous clothes and not caring.

But at least I don't have my boy haircut anymore. Sheesh mom, what were you thinking?

Tri-Day Weekend

It's my last day of work finally and I have a three day weekend coming up.

Looking forward to Friday for this:
and...
Saturday, I have this to forward to:And of course Sunday is reserved for the gospel.

Here's to hoping everyone has a fantastic weekend!

A bicycle made for ONE.

I have been juggling the idea of whether I want to purchase a bike or not for the past month or so and after much contemplation (slash trudging through the heat), I have decided it would be in my best interest. Plus, ASU has a way of making you feel less hip for not having one... I see girls riding around in their cute outfits on their cute bikes and I grow envious.

So here are some potentials I have searched for on the interweb.


I really want a cream colored or yellow one...



















Also, I am a big fan of the metal saddlebag baskets.

i.e. the one attached to the back wheel.










Sigh... a girl can dream.

Welcome to PARKING HELL!

I have never run into any parking issues since attending ASU, but today was the day to turn every terrible parking nightmare I have heard into reality. My usual comfy, shaded, EXPENSIVE parking structure at the Fulton Lot greeted me this morning with this simple, but equally disturbing sign "No more tickets!" (I added the exclamation point... the sign was, in fact, NOT yelling at me; it was quite polite to be honest).
In my dismay, I tried to think of all the other places I could possibly sit my car for five hours w/o getting a ticket. Burger King? Zia? The dreaded student lots in China (they're not located there really, but they might as well be)???
I prepped myself for a long hike to work as I relentlessly drove around ASU hoping for a miracle... and then it came. The Rural parking lot was not only still open, they had the first level completely free and it is $4 dollars cheaper than Fulton!
You can imagine my excitement when I parked my sweet, blue baby into a shaded parking spot where it can rest and graze for the five hours I must be away doing the 9 to 5 (except not). I must say, the Rural parking lot is surprisingly comfortable. It may be a trek, but at least it was reliable in my time of need.

The Louis Vuitton of parking structures...

Vs.
The China town knock off, but equally as good Rural parking structure...As you can see, don't judge a book by it's cover... or in my case, parking structures.

Bad News Bears

So my dad came up to me today and stated that he wishes to convert our spare room into an office and that he would appreciate it if I cleaned the room for him. It's a normal enough proposition, right?

Normally I would be compliant and help a brotha' out, but when your spare room looks like this...










You tend to rethink your options. Granted, most of this mess is mine okay, all of it but there is no way I will be able to clean this monster on my own. I was thinking of recruiting some choice and trustworthy help (i.e. the guys that do our front yard), but I not only do not have the funds for such labor but I also do not think the 'pops would be down with strangers in our home.
I was also pondering putting everything in the closet and just pretending I cleaned, but I know that one fateful day my father will decide he wants to use the closet for something industrious and I will be back to square one.

So it's back to contemplating and evaluating how long it will take me to clean this room... I say a month.


And a sad, sad month it will be...

Mamma needs a new haircut.

I decided last year to grow out my hair for a good cause (http://www.locksoflove.org/). I set the prospective date to November in order to allow my luscious locks to grow, but now I am regretting said decision. My hair is morphing into a rats nest of monstrous proportions.
If it were a marriage between two people's hair, it would be this...

Mishca Barton (post OC)


and Mary-Kate Olsen (minus the scary headband and kimono)

I'm so close to throwing in the towel and abandoning all hope...
But on the plus side, here is my light at the end of the tunnel.

Not Nicole Richie... the haircut. Just in case you were pondering what I meant by "light."

5 more months, patience, and a nice trim to the bangs and split ends should suffice until then. Sigh.

Nightmare on Cullumber St.

It is customary/habit for me to fall asleep with the T.V. on. Mostly because I need noise in order to catch my "z's." Why not music you say? Because music cannot make your dreams as interesting as the T.V. can.

But when you wake up to this...









And have dreams like this...













It makes you rethink your habit.
Therefore, music it is.

All work and no play makes Krista a BORED girl.

I am currently at work (and sick!), obviously on the computer, doing absolutely nothing of importance... and I'm bored. But I DID find some pretty sweet things on the interwebs to kill some time.

If you're a Starwars nerd, this site will be literal heaven for you.

I learned some obscure facts that make me feel like even more of a loser than before.

Bored? Then look up things to do while you are bored. That's what I did... it seems so obvious.

P.S. Don't try the blinking one, it hurts your eyes hardcore.

Do you want to know how incredibly white you are? Here's the site for you.

So, on a side note, Bre got baptized! I'm super psyched about that. We don't have any pictures yet, but I will be sure to post as soon as we do.

On another side note, school is over in 2 months!!! This year has gone by so slow its pathetic, but summer is a'coming and that means RIVER!!! CAMPING!!! SLEEPING IN!!! And the most epic of all...A VACAY TO HAWAII (hopefully, if everything pans out as expected).

I just realized how incredibly dull my life is... I have nothing to update, no fun stories to share, and no pictures to put up. Oh well.
