One Day I Went Camping...

Me and my friends have had a camping trip every summer for the last couple of years.  We go to this awesome (maybe a little dirty) place called the Woodward Reservoir. Here's the breakdown.

We usually leave Friday morning to set up our tents and what not. During the day we go swimming, ride the jet-ski, play games, you get the point. At night, well that's a different story. We start by making a fire (real girls camp type of stuff). Then we get our s'more on. Once we get our sugar high, that's when the real fun begins. At night is when we start the messin around, we create aliases such as "Moon Beam" and "Star Child." We form boy bands that consist of nothing but girls. We dance around the fire to other people's music because we ALWAYS forget to bring a stereo.

Bottom line is, we have fun. I'm currently trying to plan this years trip. Anybody want to join? I'm thinking of making it a mother-daughter trip. (If the mom's want to go)

Here are some pics from years past.

Enjoy ;)




One Day I Got Frustrated...

You know those times when you get really irked and you just want to yell on the top of your lungs because of lack of communication. Yea, i'm feeling that right now. I've been in a blogging funk lately. I've had many things that i want to share but have nothing to say. We'll let's see if this puts me back into blogging...

Okay, so here's the thing. I got kicked off the computer for about an hour and i've cooled off a little.

Today is just not a good day. It started off good but then things took a turn for the not-so-good.

I want to rant so bad but Tangled is on right now and it's at the part where Rapunzel and Flynn (Eugene... does the way rapunzel say his name bother your too?) are sitting on the boat, waiting for the floating lights... Now she's singing and i can't help but to start feeling better. You learn something everyday right? Well i just learned that Tangled makes me feel happy. How cheesey is that!

Back to my post. I know i'm not making any sense but i need to get everything out of my head. I'm not even checking for spelling errors. oh well.

Anyhow. Blogger isn't letting me comment on anybody's posts. Like Rachel's post, Tell me those painting aren't amazing? I love them! Anyway. This post is a whole lot of nothing but it's making me feel better. If people don't read it i won't be offended but if you've stuck around for this much then that's cool too.

I think i just thought of another post. I'm gonna go start on that one now.

One Day I Went to Ikea...

The friends and i tend to go to Ikea, alot. We don't actually buy stuff, we just go around running through the store. Our most recent trip was for my friend Desirae's birthday. (but she really did buy something)



Have you ever been to Ikea?

Don't you just love the different rooms? The kitchens, the living rooms, the bedrooms... etc

I discovered Ikea about 2 yrs ago when my cousin, Eddie wanted to go on a random trip to Sacramento. The first time i went, i actually bought something... just know that they are really cool picture frames.

 We like to act out movie scenes.


 We like to play around.

                             And we like to mess around with the props.

One Day I Went Geocaching...

Let me tell ya!
I've never been geocaching before so i decided to have our group do it for FHE.
I didn't know what to do so i went to geocaching.com to see how to get started or you can get the app on your phone.

I don't really know how to explain it but i guess it's like a big scavenger hunt. Let me show you.

Pic#1: Joe is explaining how small the geocach will be.

Pic#2: You start looking for the piece where told.


Pic#3 Find the piece, like Tyff did.


Pic#4 Open the little thing and take out the paper and sign it.


Pic#5 Take group pic. Okay, it's not required. It's just fun.

So you see, this is geocaching.
There are geocaching events all around the world so if your ever interested go online to find where.
You can also just find the local pieces like we did.

Have Fun and Good Luck!

One Day I Had A Kyle Moment...

Tyffany found my camera!!  I luh it. (luh means love but when i get really excited it just comes out as luh? just have me say it for you sometime to get the full affect, effect?)
Anywho! Just to let ya'll know a Kyle moment is also known as a random outburst. But it's more than just an outburst. It's an  it-made-sense-in-my-head outburst. You know, when your thinking to yourself then you make a comment and everybody around you is like, what? Yea, it's that.

At FHE I had at least 3 of these moments.

KM#1:

"You should join the church and go on a mission"

Miss Davina (who is not a member of my faith) was talking about wanting to go to Australia. Micheal G., Tyff T, Ali T, Dav B, and I were talkin about Michael's time down under and Davina mentioned how she would love to go sometime. I had a quick stoops moment which led to my Kyle Moment. When she said she would love to go, my brain took it as "i want to go on a mission to Australia." I was wrong.



KM#2:

"Tyffany doesn't scratch"

Matt C. is fresh off the mish. Last night, he was standing, so being nice people, we offered him a seat. (Too many comas?) He gracefully declined our offer then we moved on. Later he sat on the stairs. We offered him a chair again and he finally accepted but he was sitting way far from the table. My mind went off again. I don't like when people say they don't bite so i substituted the word to scratch. When it came out it didn't sound as good as it did in my head.




KM#3:

"I hated Fort Worth, Texas"

Matt was telling us about his mission and what i meant to say was "I hate the weather."


That's it for now folks. I have a feeling that I'm still missing one. I hope i made you great people chuckle for a bit. :)

One Day I Lost My Camera...

So, I've been wanting to blog about my trip to Sacramento for the last week but I lost my camera... Again. I'm really upset about this because today is Easter and it's one of those picture taking days. My mom made an incredible rice krispie Easter bunny (i think she should have a show on TLC called the Krispie Boss, she's good at that stuff) and i want to show the world! Today is one of those days where you dress up really pretty, get together with the family and just have fun.

I've been wanting to post pictures on my Facebook but i can't because i don't have my camera. Only telling about my little cousin trying to eat a fish whole isn't enough. I need to show you the picture! She's a weirdo and i want to share it with the world (and by world i mean only my friends, not really the whole world)!

So there you have it people. I lost my camera and because of this i can't share anything with my friends.

Sad Day...

My  friend is off to school again. I'm not sad that she's going. I'm happy for her. I'm just sad that i didn't get to say bye. we usually get to have one more goodbye after the an event but not this time. I pray for her saftey on her roadtrip back to school and hope she has a great semester with her awesome roommates (that i've never met but i'll take her word for it).

It's also raining, no, poring here. that doesn't make me happy either. I hope this Wednesday goes by fast because i'm just not feelin it.

One Day I Had Fun With the Cuddies...

There are people in my life that i love oh so very much. Our adventure started March 26th. We went to the my little cousins birthday party where we ate ALOT, played musical chairs, danced, sang . . . you get the point, right? The baby is already 9! Oh my, she'll be in the double digits next year. Ewa! She's gonna be a pre-teen soon! The next day was my grandma's birthday. After church, we went to JC Penny to take family pictures, well "grandchildren" pics. Let me tell ya, it was a blast. We had the photographer laughing like crazy. (we get them on Thursday. when they get in I'll post them) When I upload the pictures you'll see something wrong. I'll tell you what it is later. After pictures we went to had dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings. (shh, don't tell anyone!) Everybody had their cool iPhones/ Droids out and on Facebook documenting our great time out. (except me. apparently i didn't get the memo about modern technology. my phone only calls and texts.) On Monday the older one called me. She wanted to have lunch in San Francisco. So, when I got off of work I got ready to go on our lunch date. Spaghetti and Meatball picked me up and we were off! We were in SF by 2:30. They took me to a place called The Crab House. Let me tell ya. It. Was. Amazing. After eating we walked Peir 39, took a couple of pictures, bought chocolate, then went home. We were back home by 6:00 pm. ps. do you like our bibs?



I thought that was the last of our adventures but later that evening the older one text me again and said we should have breakfast before her flight. So the next morning, before work and before her flight, we had a family breakfast at Johnny's. It was great.

The End. or Fin. Whatever you prefer.

*My cousin Drew was missing from the picture. Apparently his video game was more important than taking pictures with us. Me, Bitter? A little.

One Day I Was Stumped...

So, I'm at work right now. I have nothing to do. I've already done all of my daily duties. What to do next? Naturally, start looking at my friends blogs. after wanting to start wanting to blog myself, I run into a little problem. I don't know what to blog about... Well let me tell you. That is the most frustrating thing ever! So, this is my blog for today.

Sincerely, Maggie.

Ps. Here's a random picture of me playing at the indoor playground.


Pss. A client just walked in with his son asking for a Lequisha. I'm staring at them with a "priceless" look on my face. Seconds later the little boy says, "Just kidding. Her name is Vicki" haha. I love when clients entertain me for about 30 seconds. :)

One Day I Wandered the Internet...

Blogs: Here I am, minding my own business when i suddenly felt like putting an "I'm a Mormon" button on my blog. I'm not as blog savy as I'd like to be so naturally I went to Google to try and figure things out. As I was wandering in the world wide web, I saw this blog. I'm sure you'll see why it peaked my interest. I hope none of you are uncomfortable by this post. I'm just simply sharing my thoughts.

Thought #1: umm...

*Okay, I started writing this post a couple of days ago and I've officially forgotten my thoughts. If I remember them later then I'll say what they were.

Anywho, I really like this guy's point-of-view. I also love reading about his testimony and how strong it is. For example, this post. I absolutely love it! I would never be able to think of something like that.

I also like really like their blog (i freakin LOVE it), her blog (awesome stuff), and his blog (it's just nice to know what's going on).

Okay, Okay. This post isn't going to be focused on blogs. Let's move on to other things...

Youtube: Let's just say, I love it.

Some of my favorite people are Mitchell Davis, Julian Smith, and anybody on Vevo.

I can spend hours on Youtube, which is kinda scary. I love that I can learn things from other people. It's just genius.

I really like this.

Google: "Google it" Google-ing things is one of my favorite things to. It's awesome. I google EVERYTHING. I google people like him. I google song lyrics like these. I google questions like this.

Now that I've gotten all link happy, I'm gonna go back to work. :)

Have a good day!
