I'm Meeeelting! Melting!!

Baaaaahhhhh I am freaking going to die of heat. We have no AC in this freaking apartment! I mean its bearable, but it's still like 80 degrees in here! I didn't think it would be too bad since we live on the lower level of a 4-plex and we're surrounded by shade all around.

Our little fan just isn't cutting it. So umm.. yeah if anyone just happens to have a swamp cooler laying around that we could steal for the summer that would rock. My feet are so hot and that bugs me most of all!

I don't know why I chose to live somewhere with no AC. I was just being a cheap-o. I guess because I didn't want to pay $75 more to have AC on the top level. I'm dumb like that. In addition to that I don't want to pay $250 for a swamp cooler when we are moving anyway. But not until February probably. I think we'll renew for 6 months so we can decide what to do. I just don't feel like packing up all our crap right now. Plus, I look everyday but there just aren't any apartments that I'm interested in.

We might buy something. It depends. We're going to look into it- but I don't know if I'm quite ready to do that. Plus a tiny little house in Ogden costs like $90k. The same thing here costs about $175k. Bull shee! That's one thing that I definitely miss about living up there. Ok. I'm gonna go fall asleep in the sauna now.

In addition to my ugly baby.

So that baby was a little scary eh? I think it looks like a little drag queen baby and he (yes it was suppose to be he) has over plucked eye brows, and does it look like he has braces on to you?

In addition to that, why would an infant child even have teeth? I was looking at my friend Tiara's and her baby has like full out adult buck teeth. Its weird. Also- the child is black but then kinda has a white nose with freckles. Did I mention that I selected the "Complexion Detection" option? It claims to be right 90% of the time when determining what color your baby is.

I just thought something like that would carry a little more credibility. Oh wait- no I didn't. I knew it would look like a clown baby. And that is the dumbest site ever.

Also, you know this- but Michael Jackson is dead and that is sad. Farrah and Ed too. Rough week for Hollywood. I love Michael! His looks frighten me, but he is freaking amazing and we all know that. R.I.P Kind of Pop!!

I would say this is pretty accurate.

Umm... what the hell?

A Refresher.

Yesterday started out rough. I took my math test, did do very well (my teacher grades them that day). I shed a tear outside afterwards, and tried to keep my composure when my math teacher asked me why I was struggling with it. Luckily I did and just explained she's right, I wasn't understanding and I told her I knew it was because I need to work harder. Even though I already feel like I'm really working on it, I could do better. I can't blame it all one someone else. Ya know?

Anyway, after that I was mopey and frustrated the rest of the day. Later on, as I headed to work later in the afternoon, I stopped by Wal-Mart in Draper to grab a few things. As I was walking up to the sliding doors I noticed an old man standing there with his shopping cart waiting for me to walk in front of him. I smiled and said thanks but then he stopped me and pulled out an LDS pass along card out of his pocket and said "Here's something you can get in the store. Holly, give them a call if you want too much happiness!" (He knew my name because I was wearing my work badge) It was really cute :)
I said thanks and told him that was really nice. It's not really necessary for me to be all like "Oh, I'm already a member thanks!" Because it made me smile when I felt like crap about stuff. It was just a really good reminder I'm still getting looked after and Heavenly Father is well aware of trials that I face. And I'm not just talking about math haha! Plus, I got a raise that night too woot woot!
I usually don't write things of a spiritual nature on my blog because it's something I take very personal. But everyone can relate to this and can serve as a good reminder to them too! Anyway, blah blah blah Father's Day was good- Scotty and I put together a pretty good BBQ for the fam. I took over because my Mamasita was having a really bad migraine at the time.
Now I feel good :) And I'm going to lay out with Katie and swim now. Peace! PS- if you can believe it, I already have some TAN lines! Not blistering sun burnt lines! And I'm still lathering on the SPF 30! I'd rather be pasty than get burnt. I don't want to look 50 when I'm 30.

Sigh.

So... My math class sucks. I'm really not satisfied with my teacher at all. If you ask a question she just stares at you like "Duh, I just said that." or she just writes shiz on the board and is like "See? That's how it's done." I was complaining to my Mom about it because I'm pretty frustrated. We had a test on Wednesday, and I have another one on Monday. But my Mom said it best when she said "Shes a mathematician. Just because she knows how to do math doesn't mean she knows how to teach it." True dat mama!

I know it will be over soon, I mean- the class is only June 10-Aug 10 and of course we go through stuff really fast. But I'm just scared. Because if I don't pass, I'll be screwed. I need a personal tutor or something. I go to the one at the Sandy campus where my class is but he scares me and I have lots of questions that don't get asked because I don't feel like I can ask them. Does that make sense?

So I need advice. Do you know any useful tips, websites, PEOPLE, or services I could use? Come on brain. Throw me a freakin bone! Sorry to sit here and cry about it. Its just my latest and greatest struggle.

However, on a happy note: We were going to have a baby shower for Kaylee on Tuesday (My brother Bryce's wife- hes the one that's a year older than me) But their new baby boy Kaleb decided to make his life debut instead! And we're ok with that :) Hes so cute!! Under that cap he has a ton of dark hair! I love babies. A lot.

Ta-da! Jessi of Romabee Photography did our pictures last weekend, as noted in an earlier post. Here is a sample of some of them! She is freaking awesome and did a great job! I love them!

Can't Sleep.

I've been having a hard time sleeping lately, and I don't understand why. I like get little anxiety attacks right before bed. ahhhhh it really sucks. That, or my body just won't rest. So I usually lay in bed awake for and hour and a half before falling asleep. Then I get up 5 hours later to take Scotty to work because his car is the biggest piece of crap ever and broken. Oh well, we're doing ok with 1 car. I'm going to Joel McHale tonight though so I have that to look forward to.

So- does anyone have any tips for sound sleeping? Counting sheep? Drugs? Lullabies? Help me!
Also, does anyone still have nightmares? I do. They are the ones that make me wake up suddenly and I'm too scared to open my eyes and my body gets all stiff. Then when I'm finally ok to move a couple inches, I nudge Scotty awake and tell him to hold me because I'm scared.

Wow. Thats really stupid and kind of embarrassing and I did not plan on sharing that with you. The good news is that he always holds me til I fall asleep again. Even if he is too hot or I make his arm go numb.

Topic? Sims 3 and Summer School.

I start Summer Semester tomorrow. That really sucks. It wouldn't suck THAT bad but I'm taking Math. Nooooo!! My class is Monday/Wednesday 8:00am-11:40am. Yeah and it's the longest freaking class ever!!!! But I decided I would rather go 2x a week than 3. I'm praying that my teacher is good. I'm just really nervous because I suck at Math. Like really bad. But I had an amazing teacher last fall who really helped me understand what I was doing and it felt good so hopefully this lady can do the trick as well!

I saw the commerical for the new Sims 3 today. I want it. I used to play Sims back in the day for hours and hours on end. But I don't have the same time like I use to ya know? I didn't even play nice though. I used cheats so I could have tons of money. Or I would build a tiny little 4 square house with just a door and phone. Then I would speed up time really fast and let the guy pee everywhere and order pizza until he suddenly turned into an urn and died. It was cool.

Yeeeah umm.. I should stop now. Peace.

Things you may not know.

I sleep with this beauty on every night. I needed one because Scotty watches TV when I'm trying to sleep and it bugs me. This was $2.50, AND lets not kid ourselves. I love High School Musical ok?
This was on Memorial Day and my first time ever riding a horse by myself. I just don't really like horses. They scare me. This is at Scotty's house. His parents inherited his great grandpa's old horses. That's red, he's pretty nice. But oldie moldie!

I also ate and enjoyed Sushi for the first time last night. Scotty is always trying to get me to eat it but raw fish use to freak me out. I've gotten a little "hippyish" lately (as Scotty would call it). But I'll get more into that another time... ANYWAY, I went for it- and it was a little weird at first but you just gotta focus on the flavor of it and its tasty! I got kinda got sick afterwards, but that happens to me 60% of the time I eat. It made Scotty really happy that I ate Sushi with him :)

We also got our pictures done yesterday by Jessi Potter- shes pretty freakin awesome. I'm bored of our wedding pictures and the ones she took are more us if that makes sense. Our engagements and stuff are too posey. If you need some new pictures just put "Romabee Photography" into facebook and you can look at her group. She has a blog/website but she's spiffing it up right now or I would post the link.

My little niece Rooster got baptized yesterday. Shes so big! Oh but wait... remember that one time we left at 2:00 and didn't get to Ogden until 4? Yeah that's because they shut down i-15. Therefore I missed Roo's baptism. Tear. She forgave me though. Oh and her name is really Reilley not Rooster... I know some people MIGHT get confused. Also, the picture below is my favorite because Reilley is always posing for pictures but Cole is genuinely pissed off. Hahaha...

And then my other niece Jordyn got blessed today as well. Hooray for the cutest nieces in the world!!

Hey kids. I wrote a post and I don't know what to call it.

Well apparently I don't know how to blog anymore because I feel like it has been forever! I have just been really busy playing and squeezing work in where I can. I even have some tan lines to show it! Lets play the update game. We went to St.George last weekend and visited Christian it was really good to see him because he is doing sooo good! We're so glad he's ok. It's seriously a miracle that we can see his good ol personality again after an accident like that! I also just heard a dog bark outside. Which is something I NEVER hear down here in Salt Lake and I just thought of that. Huh...

Anyway, I also was hanging out with Katie at the mall this week and totally got sold on this:

This makeup is a delight. Its amazing I love it. And I probably paid too much money for it. But I don't care- it makes my skin look amazing. Cooool. They are having a thing on QVC for it on the 23rd and you can buy like $160 worth of product for around $50. So perhaps you should check it out? You'll love it. I like to share stuff like this, and thats my testimonial.

Also there is something very important I would like to let everyone know. The Twilight movie is stupid, over rated and I hate everything about it. I think Rob Pattinson is a stupid grease monkey who sounds challenged when he talks and the girl who palys Bella is weird and I think she is a terrible actress. And then the kid who plays Jacob is hot and I won't deny it. I was about to break my TV when they kept winning all MTV movie awards. Laaaame! The movie was pretty crappy and low budget. There were so many other movies that were better! I boycot all of it. I am NOT on Team Edward, I will NOT watch the movies and as I already stated Greasy Mcgee Rob P. is fugly. The books are good. Movie/Hype/Acting/Actors SUCK.


I start school again next week. And I have an online travel class that I've been ignoring for about 3 weeks now. I should look into that... huh. Ok well I have things I would still like to blog about but I need to go get in bed. And right now we set up camp on the living room floor because our house is so effing hot already and we have no AC. Sad huh? We're moving. Again. In September probably. Ok bye.
