To many options

I love being home in Vegas. So many people complain about the +115 weather but I am just soaking it up. I love having tan lines all over the place from different swimsuits. I love working out in the pool for 2 to 6 hours a day and I love wearing shorts at night and not freezing to death. I love my students they are such a blast to teach and can always make me smile.

The one problem with soaking up the things I love is that besides having 5 different shades of skin my hair turns dry and brittle from being out in the sun for 6 or so hours and the chlorine then showering every 12 hours or less. This kind of treatment is just not good for a girls hair. It is probably the number one way to make your hair jank nasty. Last summer I learned firsthand that having the regular conditioner and shampoo will just not make my hair soft and shiny after such harsh treatment. So prior to starting my next week out in the sun I went shampoo and conditioner shopping.
My brain almost exploded.
Once upon a time in my small shampoo and conditioner world there existed one brand, Herbal Essences. Sadly this brand was not good enough to fix my summer hair. Leading me to discover a whole new world where there are over 1,000 brands of shampoo and conditioner.

(multiply this picture by 1million and you can see my predicament)
I spent over 30 minutes in the shampoo and conditioner isle completely confused on what brand will really fix my hair for the summer. After my brain exploding I decided the best way to fix this problem would be to call one of my friends who does hair and ask her what the best type of shampoo and conditioner would be. She told me and I bought it having full faith that dropping enough money to buy myself 4 new outfits would make for some amazing hair. We will see how this big purchase works. Next weeks extravaganza....purchasing good face wash.
Computer update: I got it back from the computer doctor but that same day it was broken again so I took it in for a diagnostic and they called today and have to ship if off for 6 weeks!!! 6 weeks. I don't have it in my to purchase a mac yet because I am soo hooked on my PC but BestBuy is not helping me want my PC very much right now..basically I will be computer less until I go back to school unless I am sold by a Mac.
So in conclusion, do you know any good face wash? and convince me to buy a Macbook Pro..ready go!

L to the T

Today is one of the best days of the year...why?
Well, because it is Lori T's B-day!
Although it has only really been a little over a year since this beautiful lady become one of my best friends I can't look forward into the future and imagine my life without her.
Here is why:

She will do photo shoots in the Logan fall weather with me. She will even dive into the blizzard with 5 billion inches of snow and make snow angels in her swim suit...now that is a good friend.

Lori is one crazy lady, she made sure that I had fun and did something spontaneous at least once a week. For instances...run a 5K dressed up as a bowl of soup.

She takes the funniest pictures and can pee anywhere..nuff said.

Whenever anyone needs something she is always there. That includes when I need a backup date she is my backup date, and we make amazing food and watch amazing movies.

She drives with me everywhere and sings just as loud as I do so I am not embarrassed; and she even gets lost with me.


She makes one mean bonfire and roasted pigs in a blanket; and even though she hates the picture she will still love me after reading this post and probably even laugh when she sees this picture up here.

She knows how to party with some of the coolest people ever. One of the best weekends at Utah State so far was spent with Lori and these guys and it was a blast. Hairballs and everything.
and last but not least.....

In ever single crazy escapade I do she is right a long side me supporting me. She may hate it, yet, she still does it. Lori will stay up until 2 or 3 sometimes even 4 AM in the freezing cold temperatures spray painting signs or cleaning up the TSC because it is what I love to do and thats how good of a best friend she is.

Oh and she's beautiful! She would never ever tell you she is because she is too busy always complimenting other people and not noticing. Oh and letting me borrow her clothes because her style is so rad and I want to be just like her.
If I didn't have someone up in Utah to brag about Vegas with everyone in the state of Utah would have already kicked me out and sent me back to the home I love, but Lori is there to rep Vegas sweaters and t-shirts right a long side me and even watch the basketball games with me.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LORI!! Thanks for being the greatest friend I could ask for...and converting me to macs..almost! Utah wouldn't be the same had you not stolen my hometown in lifeguarding class and we had not have met. I can't wait to be roomies next year and make our room like AMAZING! Go Aggies! and Rebels!
p.s. I bought a pair of Chacos..please don't hate me. I am telling you now so that when we go stalking the Buried Life this weekend I can warm you up to getting some too!
Love ya!
