its probably too early but...

... i can't help myself.

you know i love most things twlight.

(can't say that i love ALL things twilight, but MOST things is acurate.)

i've posted about twilight here, here, and here (although this one is only slightly relevant).

i've also posted here and here and here, oh and here about it.

(okay... so a few of those only briefly mention twilight, but... they count.)

and so, imagine my glee,

when today, while i was searching around stephenie meyer's website,

i found this:

yep. thats right my friends. there is already an eclipse countdown.

(eclipse comes out [in the u.s.] on june 30th, as i mentioned here.)

isn't it great we have that to look forward to, in addition to this??

i think so.

so pardon my slight jump of the gun, but i'm just so excited.

=]

happy trails to ya,

lyricssssss #2.

some more great lyrics for you:

lyrics: gravity

by: sara bareilles

something always brings me back to you.

it never takes too long.

no matter what i say or do i'll still feel you here 'til the moment i'm gone.

you hold me without touch.

you keep me without chains.

i never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your reign.

[CHORUS:]

set me free, leave me be. i don't want to fall another moment into your gravity.

here i am and i stand so tall, just the way i'm supposed to be.

but you're on to me and all over me.

you loved me 'cause i'm fragile.

when i thought that i was strong.

but you touch me for a little while and all my fragile strength is gone.

[CHORUS]

i live here on my knees as i try to make you see that you're everything i think i need here on the ground.

but you're neither friend nor foe though i can't seem to let you go.

the one thing that i still know is that you're keeping me down

i love that song,

doppelgänger week.

well apparently on facebook its been "doppelgänger week"

during this week you're supposed to change your profile picture to someone famous

(actor, musician, athelete) you have been told you look like.

so i thought i'd share who i posted:

i've gotten lindsay lohan the most. i was actually nearly mobbed at a movie theater once, and there was a time when people would openly gawk at me when i went places like disneyland and tj maxx. it was... awkward.

heather graham was more when i was in middle school mostly,

hilary duff was rarely (i also got mary-kate olsen. not ashley, just marykate. =]).

and ariana richards was just when i was younger. that's when she was popular.

who do you look like?

got a pocket full of sunshine,


{pics were all found on google.com/images. uh-hu.}

blck.

guys, i am down in the dumps.

its been a fun week, but its been a stressful week.

do you ever just get in those moods where you feel like crying for no reason?

that is how i've felt today.

didn't want to get out of bed,

didn't want to talk too many people,

didn't want to do much of anything.

basically just... melancholy.

i need a pick me up.

something like:

{ice cream}

rocky road ice cream is my FAVE but it has to be the kind with the real marshmallows. none of this marshmallow swirl crap. we're talkin' bout the real deal here.

{flowers}

okay so i know flowers just die, but i love them.

{happy music}

owl city is my happy music at the moment. mika would work too though.

{hugs}

i'll take cuddling too.

or, of course,

{cupcakes}

from 25 main please.

i hope you guys had a spectacular week.

because you deserve it.

think of a wonderful thing,

 

{here is where i got the: flowers, and owl city. the rest were from weheartit.com which SIDE NOTE! instantly put me in a better mood when i went there and saw this first off}:

can you spot what made me smile? if so then you know me too well. =]

if not, let me help you out:

 =]

hey friends.

hope your day is going well.

if not, don't give up.

you'll make it through.

=]

keep on keeping on,

busy, busy, busy.

the last few days have been a {whirlwind} of busy-ness for me.

wednesday and thursday nights i attended rock band parties {so fun}.

and tonight i'm throwing a party for my friend who just turned 30.

so i've been preparing for that most of the week.

its been a fun week, but i'm ready for {sunday}.

i love sundays.

i also have some {exciting} news that i've been soaking up.

i'll share soon!

tonights gunna be a good, good night,

fun fact friday #9.

{fun fact friday!}

todays fun fact:

i waited on corbin bleu.

he is the actor that plays chad danforth in high school musical.

they filmed high school musical 2 in my home town and i happened to be working at the olive garden the night he and a few of his cast mates came in.

he was a very nice guy.

we're all in this together,

words of wisdom wednesday {# 5}

"Success [happiness] means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be."

George Sheehan

1918-1993, Physician and Author

{the stunning pic you see above was done by nikilynn. what talent!}

oh. no.

my {cute} signiture is gone!

please hold while i'm figuring out this little technical difficulty,

and in the mean time, you'll just have to live with this:

much love,

lucille

are you bored?

if so, here is some entertainment for you:

call the nestle crunch hotline at 1-800-295-0051 (this may take several attempts is the line is busy.) when you are asked if you want english or spanish, just wait quietly for about 10 seconds. trust me, you'll smile. =]

keep waiting after that, listen to all options, then press 4.

listen to all options again and then choose which sounds most appealing to you!

this is not a joke!

such fun i had to do it twice to listen to more than one of the options!

i love to laugh,


{picture found right hurrr right hurrr.}

okay. so here they are:

{smile #1} - a very cute girl in my church told me she loved my style.

i was definitely tickled pink! thanks jaime!

lennie said...

"im loving your blog, so much to look at so i am very, very entertained hehe! thank you for welcoming me :)

i haven't yet heard the song, but it's made a great poem thus far! the lyrics concept is very nice, i hope to discover some new music...

lyrics: dental care

by: owl city (adam young)

(okay so these aren't really inspiring, BUT its one of my favorite songs this week so i chose these lyrics.)

dental care

i brush my teeth

and look in the mirror

and laugh out loud

as i'm beaming from ear to ear

i'd rather pick flowers

instead of fights

and rather than flaunt my style

i'd flash you a smile

of clean pearly whites

i've been to the dentist

a thousand times, so i know the drill

i smooth my hair, sit back in the chair

but somehow i still get the chills

"have a seat"

he says pleasantly

as he shakes my hand

and practically laughs at me

"open up nice and wide"

he says, peering in

and with a smirk he says,

"don't have a fit, this'll just pinch a bit"

as he tries not to grin

when hygienists leave on long vacations

that's when dentists scream and lose their patience

talking only brings the toothaches on

because I say the stupidest things

so if my resolve goes south

i'll swallow my pride with an aspirin

and shut my mouth

golf and alcohol don't mix

and that's why I don't drink and drive

because, good grief, I'd knock out my teeth

and hafta kiss my smile goodbye

i've been to the dentist

a thousand times, so i know the drill

i smooth my hair, sit back in the chair

but somehow i still get the chills

i smooth my hair, sit back in the chair,

lets start a new tradition again!

latley i've been hearing t-o-n-s of songs that have such great {lyrics}.

so. as a new tradition i'm going to be sharing my favorite {lyrics} from time to time.

there are just so many that are so totally awesome, that they deserve to be shared!

so keep your eyes peeled for some awesome {lyrics}, by some even awesomer (yes. i just said awesomer) artists.

with friends like these, who needs enemies,

trip re-cap in a nutshell.

well, i'll sum up my utah vacay in a nutshell for you.

tuesday jan 12th: VERY stressful day for me. i don't know. just the packing for a nearly 2 week long trip and getting ready to leave for that long absolutely took its toll on me. i even had a little break-down-cry-session for a few minutes because i was just having a crummy day. couldn't find the ipod, laptop wasn't working, zipper on suitcase was broken and so on and so forth. -- when we finally got out of the house i was still in bad mood due to sissykins tape player (yep i said tape player) not cooperating which meant no listening to the ipod (and no i didn't find mine. brother was just kind enough to let us take his), and then the cds in her cd player were scratched-a-mundo so we couldn't even listen to most of those. *sigh* i was glad to finally get to our destination AND see my bestie kimberly. - she made everything better by purchasing FAME (which i had not yet seen) and making us velveeta and shells (a bestie tradition). i love my kimberly.

wednesday jan 13th: for starters, i know i missed words of wisdom wednesday and i'm sorry. -- we-ll. a not so stressful day (and thank goodness!) although kimberly worked a double, my mckay friend got out of school at noon, so we were able to have lunch and do a little catching up which was g-r-a-n-d. we watched FAME again and i burned music from kimberly so i'd have decent, non-scratched cds (owl city, she&him, a little imogen heap. life was good) for the rest of the drive down which was to take place on saturday.

thursday jan 14th: i went to yoga. first time ever. and guess what? i'm TOTALLY addicted. i plan to start it up with my momma. another highlight? i got to see aunt laura (kimberly's aunt that i have adopted as my own) and amberkins (kimberly's sister whom i've adopted as my own) AND taggy-baby (kimberly's sister amber's baby haha whom i L-O-V-E).

friday jan 15th: i'm aware that i missed a fun fact friday and i am very very sorry for that. well we drove to st. goerge on this day. and before even going to our house, i convinced sissykins to make a stop in at our cousins sami and becca's. it was GRAND! they grabbed their over night stuff and joined sissykins and i at our house for a totally girly sleep over (complete with nail painting and michael buble listening.)

saturday jan 16th: i'm not going to lie. pretty much all i did on this day, was watch season 2 of gossip girl. i'm completely addicted and i wanted to get it out of the way so it wasn't consuming me the rest of the trip, which it only 1/2 did. :) (three dreams about chuck bass in three consecutive nights... okay. i was consumed!) later on that night i went and ate with the cuzzies (sami&becca), played clue a few times (love that game!) and we went and got frozen yougart at krave which i had never been to. excellent fro-yo, but nothing beats my spoon me. nothing.

sunday jan 17th: complete awesomeness because i got to see my amigo mikey cakes. we went to church together (which was quite a weird experience, as the people that are there every time i go back just keep getting younger and younger! i was in a college ward with 18 year olds that were in my home ward. i never imagined i'd see them in a college ward...) - then i got to see 2 of my 4 sets of grandparents (and the cuzzies again)! oh and! my dad was in town on his way home from vegas so we got to see him as well. that was fun.

monday jan 18th: finished up season 2 of gossip girl (so exciting i know!) and... i think that was about it. i may have seen the cuzzies, but to be honest, i can't really remember.

tuesday jan 19th: went to my other bestie kim's house (yep. two besties named kim. which is why one is kimberly and the other is kim. thank goodness bestie number 3 is named ashley. i don't know what i would have done with another kim!) - we did lunch at pizza factory (delicious!) and ran errands for her and all that kind of good stuff, then since i was sleeping over, we stayed up pretty late (mostly to feed and watch baby kai) and started a business!

wednesday jan 20th: oh. missed another words of wisdom wednesday. gotta forgive though. computer useage was VERY limited. BUT what i did do is: colored my auntie's hair on this day, which meant hung out with the cuzzies somemore. it was spectacular.

thursday jan 21st: well mostly i helped my kim friend organize her house. i also got to see an old co-worker/friend of mine, claudia. she came and chated with kim and i while i was at kims house. then, i met up with some girls that sissykins and i have known for almost 20 years! we ate at 25 main (YUM! cupcakes!) and it was great to see them and catch up with them.

friday jan 22nd: bah! missed another fun fact friday! ssssorrrrry. BUT: got to see another set of grandparents! we ate lunch with them, then went back to their house to view pictures from their recent trip to china. it looked amazing. then i went to my bestie kim's house and helped her orgainze more, and worked on the business a bit too. colored her hair, ate some pizza, watched a little bit of the office, and then went home for bed.

saturday jan 23rd: saw the cuzzies one last time, ate lunch with grandparents one last time (grandma took us to see some artwork of my uncles and i helped grandma get a facebook), and set out on the road for provo. - when we got there, we hit up a show at muse music (archie and the traveling sales men), and of course slept at kimberly's.

sunday jan 24th: i said good bye to kimberly and headed home. almost missed the exit (becuase of sissykins!) almost rear-ended someone (again because of sissykins), but made it  home just in time for dinner. it is glorious to be home.

like home,


p.s. it rained 80% of the time we were in st.george which was LOVELY!

{pics taken by me, me, a girl at 25 main whose name i can't remember but am very grateful to her for snapping the pic, me, and me!}
