I Wonder as I Wander

On my way to school today I noticed how quickly worms shrivel up. It only just rained yesterday, and yet the sidewalk is decorated with once-slimy specimens that now resemble crunchy chow mein noodles.

Before


After


This reminds me a story of my oldest sister. When she was little, one day she proudly proclaimed to my Dad, "Hey Dad, when you keep worms for a really really long time, they turn into sticks!"

How did you know that, Aimee?

She knew then what I am only just realizing.
My family is brilliant.

:)

Oh and I decided I'm actually NOT going to Wales anymore haha.
Seriously -- welcome to my life.

Tricky Trickster

I'm going to start using great vocabulary incorrectly in my day-to-day conversation and see if people notice.
It's a reverse way to expand your vocab.

Today's word:

fru·men·ta·ceous

Which actually means "of the nature of or resembling wheat or other grain."

This should be fun.

Birt

It's my Half Birthday!


Half the word birthday is birt so it's my Birt today.
The Relief Society in our ward recognizes the summer birthday girls' half birthdays. It's great.
I did not know it was my Birt until I walked out of my apartment this morning and almost squished a little snickers bar and card. It was pretty early in the morn so this made me feel all chipper. And then I had Kneaders for breakfast.
Oh Happy DAY!
So let it be known, today I'm 20.5 (I hate fractions...)
And I decided I'm going to start making half Birthday cards for people. Much like the one found below:

Happy.

Hap Birt.

WHALES

Just kidding...I know it's spelled like Wahles.

Ok - Wales.

Doesn't matter what it's spelled like, I'm going there!!! I got accepted to go to Wales for a study abroad program this summer! I have been dying to get out and travel (it's about time I get out of Provo/Orem for a little bit) so I am incredibly excited.
And with this trip we will visit Scotland...which might be a place that I have a mild obsession with.
I'm just on a cloud.

Tricks are for kids

My secret of the day: if a word in my blog is orange then it is a link.

For instance:
I am a link
I am not a link.

Observations

Studies show that:

- Whatever you invent/develop will cause cancer
- Men should never be allowed to wear skinny jeans
- White people should not say "Ballin" and should never say "Balling"
- Wearing high heels on campus all day is really dumb and probably really bad for your ankles
- Old Navy jeans were not meant to fit anyone right
- The more you exercise, the hungrier you get -- it's a vicious cycle
- If you are feeling particularly grouchy, sometimes all you need is a little nap. Or a snack (see above)
- Turtles hibernate
- Turtles smell weird
- If there is a bump on the side of a turtle's face, that is bad
- The more boys you meet, the more you'll love your dog
- The more boys you meet, the more you'll love to blog
