DH...i love it.

Seriously. I do. There is nothing else on TV that makes me intrigued, laugh out loud, gasp dramatically in disbelief and believe it or not, have a sappy moment, than Desperate Housewives. I have been a faithful watcher from day one (ok, so I had to make up the first two season via DVD last fall, but whatever) and LOVE each DH member for what they bring to the show - drama for yo baby's mama. I am so obsessed and hope that my street one day will carry half the excitement. Ok, not really. But I can get it through DH. It's awesome.

typical griffin household item

So I was absolutely dying this weekend when I stayed with Ange and Bobs and found this set of silverware in the drawer. Only a Griffin would have an entire silverware set with John Deere tractors on the handles. dying. dying. Bobs...I freakin love you.

this one's for my homegirls

We had a roomie reunion in SLC this past weekend, and I am not gonna lie - it was AMAZING! All the girls of Nauvoo 208 got together to chat about the old, the new and whats to come. Needless to say we laughed, we cried and we danced! Ok, we didnt dance, but after I said that I am realizing just how weird it is that we didnt.

Anyway, being back in Utah last week really reminded me of what great and amazing friends I have. I am so lucky to have such loyal and caring people in my life. I truly cherish each one of the friends I have and know that I am who I am because of the impact they have had in my life. So, THANK YOU to all my fabulous friendies who I LOVE SOOOOOOO MUCH!! and you know who you are, even if you may not be pictured above :)

another crush...

So, maybe he is only 20, but he has the voice of an angel and the dance moves of a sexy devil! I am quite literally obsessed with High School Musical 1 and 2! I even strangely enjoy his solo song in #2, "Bet on It," where he miraculously moves from the green to the dessert in one dancing-posed jump. And how he skips with such intensity. It is so embarrassing, but I still love him! He is absolutely darling and I wish that we were in a musical together so he would sing to me. Is that weird? Please dont answer.

and the base keeps runnin' runnin'

Ryan ran the St. George marathon last Saturday (26.2 miles)! I was so happy I could be there to watch him cross the finish line - I was soooo proud! I dont think I could ever do something like this (we all know about my athletic ability), but he never really does cease to impress me! Congrats baby!

Oh, and while reading up on this marathon business while Ryan was training, I discovered why a marathon is 26.2 miles long! It is simply the rough distance between the cities Marathon and Athens in 490BC, and a little runner man ran the distance to declare a victory to Athens, against the Persian army that tried to invade Marathon. When he got to Athens, apparently he yelled something like "We conquer," and then he fell and died right there. Rough life. That is how the length of the marathon was determined - somehow. I am glad I could enlighten you today.

p.s. There were so many old people running the marathon, it was crazy! I am talking like 70-year-old women. I thought they were going to seriously break crossing the finish line, but not my baby boo! Strong as an ox, strong as an ox.

maybe she shouldnt have "Gimme More"d.

Oh Brit. I had such high hopes for her to open the VMAs tonight. I mean, no one is bigger believer in Brit than I, and I thought for sure she was going to have a sweet comeback tonight. Bless her. It was painfully embarrassing to watch her awkward hip gyrations and zoned out drugged face do sub-par choreography and lip sync her way through one of the worst performances I have ever seen. I posted this picture to remind us all of better days. They days where Brit ruled the world. I miss those days. Her single is awesome, but maybe she needs a vaca before trying to take back her Pop Princess title.

ouch...

Ok, let me first say that NO, that is NOT my foot, but I feel like this is what I have on the bottom of my left big toe when I walk! How? Why? Well, I did it. I did what I was complaining about missing in my last post - took a dance class. I guess I just forgot that since I havent taken class in so long, my feet are not quite still accustomed to rubbing on a marley floor for a continuous hour and a half. So, maybe it is kinda my fault for not wearing shoes. Whatever. The class was awesome. Our combo portrayed the emotion of breaking down the walls of your lover, while being scared and uncertain yourself, but of course....you walk away at the end. Hmmm....I think my teacher has some issues because I am pretty sure that was the theme of his combo in March when I last took class. So now I have this heinous blister on my foot and the worst part about it all was looking for the picture for this post. Please try image googling the words "blister toe" and see what you come up with.
