give me what i want

i officially yelled at the weatherman yesterday. aaron thought i was a little crazy but COME ON. i find it very irritating when fox 13 says weather NOW, news NOW, blah blah blah and then they string you on for an hour until they give you the 7 day forecast. oh, and right before they do they say something very mysterious like..."will it be more of the same this week, we'll tell you as soon as we get done with fifteen comercials and talking about a woman had 40 cats in her home and repeat news repeat news repeat news..and this was the temperature today" (as if we didn't look outside or leave the house ALL DAY). and usually the person giving it is so pleased with themselves that they actually predicted 7 DAYS OF COLD WEATHER. boo on you and boo and utah. i'm moving to hawaii and starting a music program. rant complete. i feel better. lighter. can i get an amen?

on a happier note. i was actually on Fox 13 news for cool school of the week. yup humiliating but fun.

to bec;

ahem. those of you not bec, feel free to skip this post. i just wanted to let you know how fantastic you are at being a mom. whenever i watch you have eternal patience through bryant's hour(s) of screaming i am always amazed. i guess i never realized before how very difficult motherhood is. i have to say, i was a little skeptical of complaining mothers to their very tired full-time working husbands but oi it looks hard raising a kid. i can sleep whenever i want (okay, well mostly), i can be selfish most of the time and motherhood changes everything about that. so i guess long way of saying YOU ROCK. love ya

new me

chopped my hair off and i LOVE IT.  i told aaron last night that women with short hair are more successful. ha.  the new fawcet?  i think so....

cozy 97.9

as my monday/wednesday night routine of de-stresssing (i am ashamed to say this) i "sometimes" listen to cozy. tonight was especially cuddley. a brief description of the event follows..ahem...

Have you ever really ever...ever really ever loved a woman?
nat's thought process "well have you...men of the world ...have you"

Nat starts rockin' out and connecting spiritually with Bryan Adams

ah cue lyrics..

"To really love a woman, to understand her
You gotta know her deep inside
Hear every thought, see every dream
An' give her wings when she wants to fly
Then when you find yourself lyin' helpless in her arms
You know you really love a woman

When you love a woman
You tell her, that she's really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one
'Cuz she needs somebody"

Nat lingers a little too long on "she's" (long note)

red light. nat stops the car.

looks left all clear.. looks right at an unusually rockin' steerwheel hit on long high note. man staring at natalie thinking she is ...um...listening to cozy...need i say more.

awesome. really, visit me anytime....

to twitter

what exactly is "twittering"? i keep hearing the word or phrase "so and so has updated their blog through twitter". what the... why the new technology and what does it mean. ah a deep mystery. someone clue me in.

oh and yes i finished "the Singing" if any of you are trying to find it go to barnes and noble and "pretend" to browse the history section. at this point make a subtle course for the "teen fantasy aisle" it should be right next to some twilight knockoff and a book about a dragon. amazing day with my book rendezvous. yes sweet release from daily gloom and doom.

i think we should try an experiment. if you are reading this blog. give a shout out. thanks bec. ha ha ha ha.

read me

listen to my playlist in a dark room. absorb it. love it. life changing.

today was beautiful. bec and i took a stroll by the provo river today. it was so warm! i can't believe how my mood changes with sunshine.

movie time. ciao

congrats

i want to give a shout out to the little simon. i'm so excited to see him! i hope he's doing great at home.

second thought: i took my high school kids to the marriage of figaro this past week. it rocked. i strongly recommend seeing it as Figaro was incredible. i laughed out loud in several sections (yes, i'm the opera nerd). does the period go after the ) ? i need to review my writing skills apparently.

low point: i watched AND enjoyed little house on the prairie yesterday. wow. laura was all grown up and married. sniffle. come visit me anytime :) ha

more to come on my adorable music room....
