Percocet Poetry

Alas dear friends I was plagued again,
as I drove to ER last night, three hours past ten.
Twas not the colitis, nor even the swine
that made my back pain cross the line.

For in my two kidneys I have twenty new friends,
they are stoners for sure, with painful ends.
For once they leave kidneys they wriggle and writhe,
till they escape, a feeling not blithe

My lovely nurse Breanne and the swell Doctor Dale
prescribed me some percocet, to make me feel well.
If lortab made me loopy I can't even describe
the fun that await me, once the percocet's inside.

Now everyone relax, I am just kidding you see.
well, not about the stones or my nice nurse Miss Bre.
But I have not touched the percocet, nor will I ever
...at least until mr. stone and his 19 friends enter.

Thanks for your wishes and thoughts ever so kind,
I am back to myself, with just a little more rhyme.

Lortab Limerick

Hello confidantes! (yeah, there is an "e." I doubt any males read this blog, so I felt that was safe. I use that version as much as possible as it was a note my dear sister wrote in the very beginning of my favorite book, Pride and Prejudice. )

So, after a weekend of feeling like my abdomen was soaring through an asteroid field aboard the millennium falcon, I finally went to the doctor last night. This was followed by the e.r. And then the pharmacy. Apparently I have "colitis." As I have never heard of this on Grey's Anatomy I kinda think they are making it up. But at least the pharmacist was his own kind of McDreamy. Yum. Anyways, McDreamy Drug man finally gave me some Lortab last night which made the asteroid pelted abdomen pain desist. As such, I have decided to write a Lortab Limerick. *Just a note, it is shocking how much easier Limerick's are to create when on Lortab.*
Lovely Loopy Lortab...a limerick in short

My colitis makes my abdomen quake,
but my Lortab makes it take a break
McDreamy gave pills,
Jim handed him bills
And now I feel as "baked" as a cake.

magnanimous maples

My article has finally arrived! For a few weeks this June, my entire existence was dedicated to all things leafy, as my assignment for Utah Style and Design was to write about Japanese Maple Trees. Ever since, the Crimson Queens and Bloodgoods have haunted me. I see them on campus, or at the outlets. Who knew there were things beyond clothes there!? The one nearest and dearest to my heart is the Crimson Queen that sits just outside my window at home. When I first wake up, I can look through the blinds and see its perfectly formed leaves. (Refer to article to see which kind of leaf type:) Tune in soon for an ode to my house.
Check it out here, or in print in the newest issue of Utah Style and Design!

new pens

so, school started yesterday. I can't believe it, it was my LAST first day. Ever. I love the first day of school, the freshness and potential. You can't forget an assignment on the first day, and if you embarrass yourself badly enough you can always transfer out and nobody remembers:) I love thinking about my outfit at the nordstrom anniversary sale, wondering what ensemble could possibly be worthy enough to strut that campus with ease. But, perhaps what I love most of all about the beginning of school is the NEW PENS!! I love them! You haven't lost them yet, you know for a fact that they will not just run out of ink on you, and the lid is still intact (I haven't chewed the life out of it). And doodles seem so much more aesthetically pleasing when sketched with a noveau crayon lecteur. I prefer the Pilot Precise V5 in red (for editing), green for fun, and the normal blue and black. Blue is my favorite:)

This one's for the girls...my girls

So. Being of the overly competitive and occasionally absentmindedly intimidated sort I have recently taken a break from my blog writing. However, a kind friend mentioned this to me and made me so excited that I actually had a noticer, and thus a reader, that I decided to dedicate this blog post to her and the rest of my girlies. It seems as if a mere diddy on da blog is nowhere near worthy enough to express how I feel about my girlies, but I will give it a go. Thanks for being my friends, confidantes, laughter, inspiration, joy, comfort, cooks, stylists and so much more.

Ode #5 bobby pin

The woman who invented the bobby pin (yes, it was a woman. I checked) ought to receive a nobel peace prize, as she has kept peace in my hair for about 10 years now. They are amazing, with these tiny little things you can create an updo in less than 8 minutes, pick a lock, clean between lil places, get a broken zipper up and work as an impromptu paper clip. I just love bobby pins, and there is nothing quite as exciting as buying a brand new pack. So much promise with so many bobby pins. mmmm. Disclaimer: My mom and the resident vacuum cleaner are not the bobby pins biggest fans:)

Ode #4: Dresses of Divinity

In 4th grade, I had a vendetta against dresses. And the color pink. I know, it is a frightening thought, and I refer to this time as the dark ages of my life. However, now I have walked into the light again and rediscovered my love of dresses. They are comfortable, feminine, and a complete outfit within themselves. They make more of a statement about their wearers then any other clothing item. I just love them. Here are some of my favorite places to find divine dresses...

1. Shabby Apple

2. JCrew sale

3. ModCloth!!
