this looks SURPRISINGLY like a dream I had

FOR years Ashley {COOKIE}, Kristen {Taco} and I {Cupcake} have dreamed of owning our own Treat Shop/Bakery.



I know what a RANDOM little business...but we could make treats all day, work together and have fun.



We would whip up sweet confections for parties and imagine how hard they would be to mass produce. We would try new recipes and imagine if the patrons of "Senorita Sprinkle Bottoms" would enjoy them.



We would debate locations [San Diego/Park City/Provo/Columbus/San Francisco/DC], jobs {Nate at one point was supposed to be the Janitor and ear a cupcake hat} and marketing schemes.

I want a decorate your own SUGAR COOKIE BAR

Gluten free confections for my nieces

Candy Dipped hot cocoa spoons

So when I ran across this little beauty named HEAVEN, i was ohhh so super jealous. THIS looks like the place i dreamed up for all those year.

I GUESS ideally I wold be standing behind the counter. In the corner would be coat rack full of super cute aprons that we made and were selling. And out on the porch would be a row of hooks for winter coats, as to not drag snow into the shop.

So for now I will stare at this cute little shop, dream of going there some day and STILL mentally plan on our own little shop someday.

Someday...one day...hopefully soon.

iM 16 again...

I feel JUST a little bit juvenile at the moment. For three reasons:

ONE: I in fact have a hickey
TWO: I still think they are [disgusting/funny/nasty/hilarious/ridiculous].
THREE: I got caught at work with one (it was basically on my shoulder and tough to hide)...and it reminded me of the first Hickey offense.

I was 16, it was summer. Saturday the third of July. I had been out with my friend Jessica, her oh sooo cute older cousin who was in town for a week and a boy named Dan. We had gone to the county fair, played cards and spent the evening hanging out and enjoying ourselves. After Dan took off, I figured it was my time to make an exit. The red jeep wrangler I was driving was parked out front and calling my name.

It was hard to leave. I wanted to spend time with Cody. We had really hit it off. and had barely a moment to ourselves. I was such a permanent fixture at Jessica’s it wouldn’t have been weird to stay; my parents might not have suspected anything. Somehow in my gut I knew if I didn’t leave I would not get any time alone with the boy of the moment.

So I headed out. Jessica and Cody followed me out. We were talking about how we needed to make plans for the rest of the week, summer was fading fast blah blah blah...she seemed like she was ready to go- ending the conversation, trying to get back in the house, curious why Cody was lingering. And I was giving her THE look.

The leave me alone with your cousin LOOK.
The let me have a shot at this look.
The go inside now or we won't be best friends LOOK.

She did-Dutifully. After she realized I was edging on a moment.

There we were. Anxious. Excited. anticipating what was to come.

He walked me around to the driver side of the jeep {my siblings and I all shared the car and for years is was simply referred to as The Jeep}. I lingered by the door. He said it had been a pleasure to spend the evening with me. I was so easily flattered. He hugged me. Held me at the waist. His hands resting on my curve, he stared down into my eyes. I shied away, not sure whether I could trust him or myself.

His hand touched my arm. Brushed its way up my shoulder to the nape of my neck. He grabbed me, pulled me in and kissed me. I will always remember the rush of his lips on mine. gentle, hungry, fumbling. Or the way I melted in his arms- leaning into the car door to support myself. The heat of his body against mine.

I had kissed other boys. But they were boys and their kissed didn't count. Cody was a man and he kissed me. He kissed me good and long and hard. When I got home I had the hickey to prove it.

I scrambled in the dark house. What was I to do? A cold spoon…ice…heat…pressure… nothing was working.

I was a minimalist 16 year old girl. Cover-up wasn’t in my make up repertoire. I knew I was in trouble when my dad found out. How was I going to hide THIS mark? The questions flooded my mind- Had he sucked on my neck, had he kissed me behind the ear, had we kissed that long?

I couldn’t remember. It was all such a blur. How had I let this happen?

I went to bed, determined it couldn’t be any worse in the morning. Boy was I wrong. It was darker more like a bruise and impossible to hide.

So I wore my hair down to church the next day. I slouched a little. Tried not to move. It worked for a while. Until Vaunn {my dad’s close friend} came up behind me, flipped my hair away and smiled.

“What’s this?” he asked

“Ummmm, I don’t know” I replied & smiled nervously.

He laughed knowing the worst was to come. My dad quick to follow grabbed me by the back of my neck. I instinctively pulled my shoulders inward arched my back to try to loosen his grip.

That was the end of it. I was grounded, on the 4th of July. I was on house arrest, no visitors, no calls, cut off from the world.

So the 4th of July came and went. The fireworks faded. The BBQ was over. Cody was gone. never to been seen again.


It's funny how some things stay with us- moments burned into our memories never to be for gotten.

It's funny how some things never change.

So here I am. Ten years later desperate for a cold spoon or some cover up-probably about time I added some to my makeup bag.

Diane if you read this, PLEASE don't tell my mom.

Dear Frank,

Someone stole my secret. Well I guess it is possible two people have the same secret, though statistically speaking it is highly unlikely. BUT i guess I didn't do to well in Statistics, so who knows it could happen. I hope this person really does punch the next person who poses that question. I have promised my self I would many times, and I still have not. Better luck to him/her.

Dear Potential Craigslist Roommates,

I found somewhere to live. Thanks for all the entertainment, maybe I will continue to respond to your ads for fun.

Dear Working World,

it is NOT ok to throw your coworkers under the bus. NOT even if you think you are being funny, or appropriate. The corporate world is hard enough without your friends working against you.

Dear Gain,

i LOVE the smell of all your detergents. You are the only reason I do laundry. Hygiene has nothing to do with it.

Dear Cottage Cheese,

iM glad I rediscovered you. And how you pair so well with triscuits. You are my new favorite snack.

Dear {OLD} work friends,

It was good to see you, make pizza's, catch up, gossip, throw dough in the air, play with Paula's baby, drink diet coke and just be together.

We need to do it more often. NEXT TIME Rummikub.

Dear Missionaries Staying in my Mom's House,

Please, PLEASE, please don't look in the top left shelf in the kitchen. The boob cake pan was left by the previous residents, and may freak you out a little. I VOW to sneak in at some point and take it out.

iM NOT the Mole

But OHHHH how I wish I was.

This year for the department off site we played THE MOLE. It was a lot of fun. I had my doubts...I really did, but I had SUCH a great team. We started out the day by immediately pegging Kristopher as the Mole. As per his suspicious activity. it wasn't [me/LIZ/nick] for sure. So it had to be one of the others....Then we harassed Alex.

All while letting CAMI, the real mole go undetected. Here is my amazing team BEFORE, during and after the game!



Thats RIGHT, we started off strong in spirit, but LOW in points. We got a little worse for the ware and made up the point spread after the eating really.

VOM. It started with a half a watermelon, then KRIS ate a sleeve of saltine crackers with NO DRINKS, then I had to down a liter of SPRITE. I about threw up, it was warm and wayyyy to sweet for my taste. Cami had to suck jello through a straw, Nick ate a doughnut with no hands and liz had to get through a packet of trail mix. It was nasty, but put our team back in the running.

During lunch we made up a BUNCH of points by guessing OUR Mole, and the mole of several other teams. The afternoon followed with a lot of other stuff.

There was a Back bend Contest:

Kristen.......................................Susan.........................................CAMI

There was the push up contest where our bosses, bosses, boss offered Andrew movie tickets to give up first. HE said, NO WAY and kept on going... he won that competition. Then there was the time that Eric jump roped, and the judges {BREE, Salinda & Christine} judged stuff.

WE Ended with a DANCE off. Our team had gone from 7 to 4. We had about 30 seconds of a 2 minute routine, but we shook our booties, wowed the crowd and went into the Mole DELIBERATIONS:

we guessed our MOLE, and doubled our points taking us from second to last, to SECOND PLACE! <---thank you for the MOVIE tickets

Not to shabby for a team named Lilac.

Portofino anyone?

I get the itch to travel about every three days (Paula/Alex JUST invited me to Colombia, IF only I could make that work) Mostly UNTIL i get on a plane and realized that iM:

antsy. bored. hot

[sleepy/wired/tired]

uncomfortable

have a head ache. dehydrating. diet coke deprived

hate the kid in front of me with his light blaring so he can read Harry Potter

pissed at the crying baby

mad at the guy kicking my seat

hungry

cold

in need of a pillow

desperate for a sleep aid

{behind at work}

sick of living outside of a suite case

over my budget

BUT before ALL of that sets in, I found this little lovely in Portofino, Italy. Anyone know how I can rent THIS house? WHO wants to go with me once I find out?

Ahhhh perfection, how I have missed your clear water, brightly colored houses, sunshine and relaxation.

♥ Single Girl

Imerka invited me on her euro tour this fall {Specifically November} can THIS please be a stop? I don't care how cold the water might be. I will jump in, dive in actually...think about it!

Dear Neighbor Boy,

iM sorry that I have been parking around the back of our complex, in a blatant attempt to avoid awkward door step interactions. I secretly missed seeing you and attempting to make normal conversation.

When my friend Lindsey was in town she wanted to meet you oh, so bad. And SEE if you really do have celina radar {I think you may have implanted me with a GPS chip on our date, which iM kind of ok with}. SO I parked where I normally do, and took the long way home. Down one row, across the parking lot and towards your house.

When I saw your car was not in the underground parking and all your lights were off I prepared Lindsey for the disappointment. She was sad, but ok with it- i Mean we can't MAKE you be home on a Thursday night. So as we approached your house I in NO WAY expected you to POP out of your front door:

Neighbor boy: Oh hey Celina how are you?

ME: {giggle} good and you?

Neighbor boy: iM fine, where is everyone?

{Looks at empty porch swings that are usually full of people chatting and flirting at this time of night}

ME: Ummm I would be the LAST person to know where anyone is.

Have a good night

Neighbor Boy: oh ok, see ya around.

Oh Neighbor boy, how you NEVER disappoint. I am sorry Lindsey/I started giggling, and it appeared we were laughing at you. We were not. Well mostly we were not. Mostly it was the predictability and the situation. And your PERFECT timing.

After I packed my bag and started back out to the car {the long way again} I never thought you would make a second appearance. This time simply to say I should stop and hang out so we could catch up. Alas, I had places to go. Literally I was on my way out of dodge.

So thank you for being so entertaining and nice. I am sorry that I got a little crazy, and over thought things and sent you that apology text. But it was fun to flirtext for a while. And I really will let you know next time iM headed towards the swings.

You will be the only thing I miss when I MOVE, yet again.

ANYONE need a driver? Can you believe that all you have to do is pay a few buck, take a picture and show a valid license...it seemed a little TOO easy. Then I thought about all the crazy drivers on the road, and it all made sense to me.

HERE's to driving in Asia!

Apologies

I get music obsessed. Not in the way most people do. I will find a song that speaks to me, and put it on repeat for days on end.

This little beauty I forgot about. Until I rediscovered it.

Thanks Grace Potter & the Nocturnals

Yesterday he said my eyes.Were fading fast away.I said well what do you expect.You asked me not to stay and if it had all been for the best.I wouldn't feel this way.And he said

Oh he said it's crazy.How love stays with me.You know it hurts me.Cause I don't wanna fight this war,It's amazing to see me reading through this scene.Of love and fear and apologies

My love is like a blanket.That gets a little bit too warm sometimes.I wanna wrap somebody in it.Who can hold me in his arms.Cause when it got a little too hot in there.He was always stepping out for air and he froze.Oh he froze

He said it's crazy.How love stays with me.You know it hurts me.Cause I don't wanna fight this war.It's amazing to see me reading through this scene.Of love and fear and apologies

Yesterday he looked at me.With a tear in his eye and said.I'll always tell you you're my friend.I hope i don't have to lie.Cause it's clear you love another man.I said you're damn right

And he said.He said it's crazy.How love stays with me.You know it hurts me.Cause I don't wanna fight this war.It's amazing to see me reading through this scene.Of love and fear and apologies.He said it's crazy.How love stays with me.You know it hurts me.That i didn't figure it out before.And now it's too late for a soliloquy.It's way too late for dignity.It's time for apologies

Its a place to live, not a matter of national security

I am on the look out again for a place to live. I know, I move A LOT. Well I got a letter a few weeks back saying Resign Now!!!

I had no idea that when I got back from my sisters wedding that all the contacts would be sold. I SWEAR that the whole Sign now thing is usually a hoax.

Alas, I have no where to live. The CROWNING jewel of all of this is that my contract ends while I am on my ASIAN VACATION, so I have to move STAT.

So I have been hitting craigslist pretty regularly the last few days to email on promising looking places. Today I found this little beauty:

$350 Private Room/Bath-Female (Springville)

New Condo, 2 minutes from I-15 in Springville. Private bedroom and bath available. W/D, AC, Clubhouse/Pool, Free internet, etc. Apartment fully furnished, but you will need to provide your bedroom furniture. Looking for a clean, quiet roomate. Preferably female and preferably a grad student/working fulltime. Must not be allergic to cats, as I have one. Also, no smoking in the apartment. $250 deposit and $350 first months rent (plus any pro-rated days). Split gas/electric bills. Available in August.

Looks {CUTE} enough. Clean. New. Safe.

I shoot off an email to the coded craigslist response email that says:

10:07PM

Hello,

I was looking through Craigslist and found your posting for a private room. Is this space still available? My contract ends in August while I am out of the country and I am looking for a nice place to live. I work full time, don't hate cats and so on.

let me know thanks if its available. I would like to set up a time to see the place and talk in detail about the conditions.

thanks so much,

Celina

RESPONSE comes faster than lightning. THIS time from her ACTUAL email account. It reads as follows:

10:16PM

Yes, still available, but I am confused when you say your contract ends in August... And you are out of the country? I will only accept a roomate I can meet face to face first as I will be sharing my home. If you can explain your situation a little bit. Thanks!Jessica

So I think...hmmm ok, maybe I was not explaining myself correctly and send back:

10:22PM

Sorry I did not explain myself well. My Contract ends August 17th, I currently live in Provo. I am headed on a trip to asia on August 6-24th so I need to move out in the beginning of the month before I leave. I hope that makes more sense. I graduated from BYU and work full time at ******* in Provo, I hope that helps

From the Mystery potential Roommate:

10:24PM

Thanks for clarifying. My number is ***-***-****if you want to call tomorrow to set a time to come by and see the place. Just a little FYI I will want to take a week or so before making a final decision on who I want to live with me. Moving in the beginning of August is cool, but we can both make a better decision when we have met and you have seen the space. Thanks

Ok so I KNOW that reading into an email is dangerous ground. You can't tell what people mean, how they are saying it and so on. But I was thrown a little off. I was SUSPICIOUS to say the least. Most of the responses are like this:

yeah the place is avail. No smoking, not boyfriends moving in, fun place to
live. If you want to come see it text me at {INSERT MOBILE NUMBER}

So I did what any self respecting cyber stalker would do.

I plugged her email into Facebook.

She is 31

Did NOT spell the word "Roommate" correctly ONCE in her post/emails

Not that I should talk, I am a terrible speller. BUT its an AD for a roommate...

is an actress

who takes lots of creepy dramatic pictures with her cat.

She works out of her home.

Is kind of dowdy looking.

appears sad/serious in all photos

and frankly, not the kind of person I want to live with.

To which I responded:

11:19PM

Good luck in the roommate search. I plugged your email into Facebook, and I am not sure we would be such a great fit. Thanks for your time.

A bit quick? Probably

A tad judgemental? absolutely

Should I be picky with roommates? Definitely

Do I want to waste my time/hers? Nope

Then I spammed her address so I don't have to see her response.

Wedding Week Recap

************************************************************DISCLAIMER************************************************************

So THIS post has just been sitting in my drafts for almost a month. I figure I better just post it for posterity's sake. DO NOT feel the need to read/comment/care about this bad boy. Its going up in chonological order.

Wednesday June 24th: since my family grew up on baseball, in the mecca of baseball for many, we pre celebrated the wedding of Brooke & Tyler by going to an Giant's VS A's game. Which was amazing, since the Giants killed it, we had a good time mixing families, and the weather was perfect. Oh and it was dollar hot dog day, which my mom loved. She came back from the snack bar with about 10.This was only after Morgs and I spent time in the hotel pool of course.

Thursday June 25th: The Schaaf's had all of us over for some world class BBQ. Mike {Tylers Dad} is a grill master. He made steak & chicken that was to die for. garnished with HEAPS of side, courtesy of Tyler's step mom Sheri. IT WAS A FEAST.

Michael and Jessica were in town so the girlies played with rolly pollys- they love animals and are easily entertained. While the guys talked tow ladies put together wedding favors. Oh and MOrgs broke a chair. The top right is a reenactment of what it looked like. In her defense, I SWEAR the chair was pre broken.

Friday June 26th: was a total blur of activity. From scanning photos, to fixing a tree, getting in some sun time, getting our nails done and running into old friends*, it was a surprise we got done in time for the rehearsal. Bridal Beautification was a success. Martha Silva stopped by to see us all, when she came back she already had these pictures developed:

YumYum and Ashie LOVED getting their nails painted. They were sooo cute!

After we got our nails done it was time to get pretty and get rehearsing. We met at the Purple Orchid for the walk through. It was quick and to the point. YES!

Then we all headed over to Campo di Bocce for a REALLY FUN rehearsal dinner. Everything was served family style and was yummy. Then we had a personal Bocci lesson and two courts to play on.

The girls won, of course. We were much more careful with the little balls.

After dinner, Boccie and some decadent desserts we called it a night. We spent the night with Brooke in her bridal suite. Weird that it was her last night as an Alger.

The wedding week was a lot of fun, a little crazy and memorable. But nothing will be as important as seeing my sister marry the love of her life. OR maybe it will be the mouse pad of Tyler's face he gave my dad as a gift, Its a toss up.

* a SERIOUS hazard of spending too much time in my old home town. When I go back I mostly aviod places where I might spot someone I know. I did spot two girl friends from high school, who were JUST as mortified to see me, as I was to see them. We spent some time tlaking about how we hate seeing people we know, then we talked crap about people and promised to facebook each other.

Chinese Visa...CHECK

It's OFFICIAL. The Chinese government says I can come visit, TWICE for 60 days each! I applied for a multi entry visa thinking, Whats the worse that can happen? They say you can only come once? I am only PLANNING on going once, but like the option to go back in the next little while.

Things to do before Asia trip:

• find somewhere to live (again)
• Move
• Buy SUPER PACKERS
• Practice squatting
• find the PERFECT mix of clothes to take
• Figure out how to get all my liquids for a few weeks into 3, 3oz bottles
• buy supplementary travel tickets (air, rail, ship)
• get a second memory card
• pedicure
• lose all sense of privacy
• get travel meds
• learn Chinese, Korean & Japanese

CA: iM feeling Wicked

Part of my WONDERFUL trip to CA was a Day in the City {San Francisco}. When my sister does something, she does it right. So when Brooke decided to get married she went OVER THE TOP. The Wedding Week (as we started calling it about 6 months ago) started with a girls night!

Rt:Me and Morgs. Middle: Brenda, Daine, Me, Dawn & Brenna. Lt: Brenna, Brooke, Brenda, Dawn, Me & Morgs

We {Me, Brooke, Morgan, My mom, Diane, Dawn, & Brenda} headed into the city to visit the Mac Pro store. We met up with Brenna outside. It was a lot of fun to look at all the amazing colors and beautiful makeup.

Brooke had her foundation matched while we browsed. I found some amazing little jewels in a near by shop.

I couldn't getting my sister this little beauty --->

I mean who DOESN'T want a Not Tonight sleep mask for their honeymoon?

After shopping we headed to Bistro Clovis for dinner. It was a quaint little French restaurant.

We started with some STINKY cheese & Diet coke. For dinner we each chose different entrees and then traded.

They were all yummy, but not as good as the Tar Tart! YUM! It was fun to try something new.

We met up with the rest of the bridal party {Sofia, Candace & Joey} outside of WICKED!

For almost half the group it was their first time seeing the play. It was amazing to be there again.

I absolutely love Wicked. It is so fun and enjoyable.

Thanks Brooke for taking us all!

We walked out side to a flat, which set us back over an hour. The tow truck driver had one heck of a time finding us.

We did get some time to see Dawn do the MONKEY dance, play in a play ground and freeze. The play ground had an amazing sign that read: "No Adults with out accompanied children"

Might as well say: NO CHILD MOLESTERS ALLOWED

Once we met up with the tow truck diver we were off...sleepily, back home. It was a good night.

The 4th of July In Iraq

Is nothing like the 4th of July here.

I got to speak to my little brother GRANT today. He called during a shift at the Armory. My brother is currently serving in the Marines, and is stationed in Iraq.

In my head as a Soldier the 4th of July should be spent sipping root beer and eating a hamburger. However my brother spent the day working in the armory, skipping B fast because there was none and eating MRE's for lunch and dinner. There is no gas to no food can be cooked.



You can't raise your flag in a country you don't occupy, so there wasn't even a flag raising ceremony. No fire works. No apple pie.


So thanks Grantie, Happy 4th of July.




Come home soon & Safe. We miss you here bad.

When in ROME... Wear a HEADLAMP?

Hmmm...iM not entirely sure that is how the quote goes.

In this case, it does the boys were prepared. Because its summer, and you camp in the summer & we live in Utah and thats what you do.


So we did. a few weeks ago {sorry iM losing my real time blogging desire} we CAMPED! It was a little bit of a whirlwind.


We dove up Hobble Creek Canyon. I was towing for the first time the quads. I was pretty proud of myself. Good times as we hit the off road section of the trek.


It was nice for Scott to ask if I thought the trailer could make it.


No one thought to ask Caitlyn/Morgan if they could make it up a few miles off road in the KIA...it was the scream and grinding sound that stopped the truck.



The first fifteen million sites we stopped at were taken. THEN We met a nice camper who gave us his site.so we got set up.and started the tin foil dinners.

YUM ours were teriyaki chicken with onions, bell peppers and pineapple! Pretty freaking good for camping foods. We also downed [Ashie Jacks Snacks/homemade oreos/cookies/pop tarts/diet coke] It was a feast followed up by stuffed apples roasted on the fire. My friends like food what can i say!


We spent time riding the Quads. Talking. Chasing a run away tent. playing with moose.


It was a lot of fun. Minus the rain.mud.slipping off the trailer.freezing in the night part.

I want to GO AGAIN! NOW!!!

Any takers?
