Penny Pingleton

So.....

Hairspray.

A theater nearby is doing Hairspray.

I want to tryout for Penny.

but.....

I am petrified

What if I don't sing well enough?

What if I do not look young enough?

What if I can't act?

I will keep everyone posted, I am still not sure.

I mean...

I am scared

Halloween

So it is that time of year again.

Time to think of a costume.

I have an idea...it's perfection.

Ed's is already and I just need to find mine.

Not to hard (I thought). 

Wendy Darling

But to my dismay all I can find is this

Slutty Wendy.

Now I have never been the girl to think that Halloween is a time for me not to be Mormon

(well I have not been that girl in 4 years anyway)

so wearing this is out of the question.

SERIOUSLY WHO GOES AS SLUTTY WENDY?

Who says "what will I be for Halloween? oh I know I will be slutty wendy darling and pretend that I gave it up to peter pan"

Stupid Slutty Wendy.....

off to Shopko I go to find a blue grannie nightgown.

Dressing Room

The dressing room at Anthropologie.

It's like a girl haven.

Miss and I always take our things in together and we try on what we grabbed and then we try on what the other grabbed.

There have been some great times.

There have been some sad times.

There have been hilarious times.

For instance there was the time that a zipper broke on a skirt so I had to pull it over my head resulting in pain and laughter.

Or when I MADE miss try on designer jeans for the first time

(you're welcome)

Or when I find the perfect button down and my boobs will not fit in it and Miss gives me the look of "I told you your boobs would not fit"

I just said boobs on my blog

I just said it again.

Dressing room at Anthro.

Magical.

Tiger Beat

This was going to be a post about my Tiger Beat crush

(who was never in Tiger Beat)

Until I saw this cover.....

GIANT OBAMA POSTER

I mean did the President of our United States SERIOUSLY give an interview to 

TIGER BEAT????

I mean, thats it. in 2012 I am voting for Kirk Cameron

Justin Timberlake

Is the new Will Smith.

Shut up yes he is.

Check it.

He rose to fame with music that eventually lead to acting.

and

HE IS NOT THAT BAD

Look, I will be the first to tell you that I was skeptical, but really in Social Network....

Not bad

I mean he plays an egotistical ladies man so it's not that far off but still. 

Gratitude

As I grow older, and mature more (not much), I find I look forward to General Conference more and more. I am grateful for the opportunity to be spiritually fed by the leaders of our church, especially our prophet.

As he spoke today I thought on gratitude and how much I have been given. 

Gratitude for:

My husband

My health

My family

My friends

The gospel

My Savior

My job

My calling

My young women

Today as I listened I was especially grateful for the Lords timing. Sometimes I may not understand. But, my life has shown over and over again that the Lord knows what is best for me. He knows when I am ready for certain things and when there are lessons that need to be learned.

So on this day, I am grateful most my Heavenly Father and his love for me and my family.
