Like Bradley Cooper needed to be any more attractive. Those eyes, the scruff, the smile. Now he speaks French. For some reason, I love him even more.

I bought way too much candy for my Easter baskets. I gave some away in Sunday School but I still had a ton left. I have too much of a sweet tooth to have candy in my house. I can hide it in cupboards, but "out of sight, out of mind" doesn't always work. Here is a great idea for what to do with leftover candy from any holiday.Super easy. Made it tonight and sent it with the bf to take to work,

I love doing cheesy things for the holidays. The blogosphere has taken things to a whole new level. I get so many ideas from blogland, take a little from here and there, and come up with something of my own. I think this blog will start to focus on some of these gift-giving ideas or small ways to show someone you love or appreciate them. For Easter this year, I decided to do a six-day countdown

My last post was April 29, 2010. I was just about to take my last law school final. Somehow it is now April 23, 2011. A lot has changed. A lot hasn't changed. Since I don't keep any sort of journal, I've been thinking about bringing the blog back. I'm still undecided. As a trial run, I thought I'd blog about how I've celebrated Easter so far.I love Easter. I don't know if it is the fact

1. Have you seen these? As an m&m connoisseur, I can't wait for these things!! In fact, on my last road trip, I was guilty of adding some m&ms to my ziploc bag of mini pretzels. Where are they? When are they in stores? They could easily become a new favorite.2. My nephew is the cutest thing ever.3. I am studying for my LAST final EVER!! Monday night, 6 pm. I would say that at 9 pm I may be

I hate Jillian Michaels. The few times I've watched The Biggest Loser, I've thought she was such a b face. Now I have a love-hate with her. These workouts are the toughest workout dvds I've tried. She is kicking my butt. I do weight training at the gym, but these really push you and work all your muscles. I highly recommend these if you want to switch your gym routine up a bit. You have to

He's back! As a lawyer in "The Good Wife." I don't know how long this show has been on or much of what it is about, but I like the 3 episodes I've seen. Mostly because it gives me the Logan fix I have been craving the past few years. Why couldn't Rory and Logan just get married and have their own show? FYI - Logan is even sexier in a suit talking about the law.

I don't really have any desire to blog , but I wanted to post the 2009 Christmas Mix I made for my college besties.

It has been a long time since I made a quality blog post. This is not for lack of anything to blog about. I've had a pretty great summer. I spent time with Colin and my new nephew, Mason. I watched my favorite show 'Raising the Bar' religiously, and watched hours and hours and hours of baseball and sportscenter and the news. I saw movies, shopped, ate out with friends. I also worked my butt

John Ensign, shame on you. This surprised me a bit, but not much. Isn't an affair a requirement for elected Nevada Republicans? He joins quite the club with Jon Porter and Jim Gibbons.

He is also all about the sanctity of marriage, having voted for the Federal Marriage Amendment. How will

I love the NBA playoffs. I do. I really, really do. What a great way to start the summer. I love the competition. The Celtics/Bulls series was insane. Then we had Lakers/Rockets and Magic/Celtics. And now the conference finals are so tight it is just fantastic to watch. I don't really have "a" team, but I have loved Lebron for so long. Like back in the days when I lived in King Henry and

I definitely shook President Obama's hand.Such swagger. It was even cooler than when I met Senator Obama. It was a sweet fundraiser at the Caesar's Palace Colloseum with Sheryl Crow and Bette Midler. Sheryl Crow can really belt it out. And Bette moves pretty well for an old woman. IF YOU LIVE IN NEVADA, YOU'LL BE HEARING ME SAY THIS UNTIL NOVEMBER 2010. DON'T BE A HATER. VOTE FOR HARRY REID!!

I'm back. I survived finals and am liking my new job. Lots of things I've wanted to blog about the past few weeks. Right now, all I have to say is that I would be happy as a clam if I never heard from or heard the words "Dick Cheney" or "Glen Beck" ever again. Just sending these thoughts out to the universe so I can sleep easier.As far as Cheney goes, there aren't words to describe how much I

I really need a break from outlining so I thought I'd share 3 things that really annoyed me in this weekend. #1. Lady in front of me at redbox who felt the need to read the description of just about every movie available before finally making a selection. Maybe she lives under a rock and had never heard of any of these movies. Redbox is supposed to be fast. Thanks for making me wait about 10

This is such a great idea. One of my favorite blogs, martawrites, started a writing club. The goal is to get the creative writing juices flowing a little, by giving a few writing prompts each week. I really love writing. I used to write all the time but haven't much in the past 2 years. I only did one this week because I'm short on time. Describe your daily routine from sun up to sun down.

I embrace valentines day in all its pink and red goodness. I love sugar cookies for every holiday, but I think I found a new favorite: using heart cookie cutters on brownies. So cute. You should try it out. If you want a nice pick-me-up, check out a perfect collection of love songs on Jen's blog. I particularly love Bright Eyes' "First Day of My Life."Go Rebs.

I didn't come up with that. It's straight from Bob Cesca, but that perfectly describes what I felt when I looked at these pictures:First official pictures of Obama in the Oval Office.I just want to frame them and put them on my dresser. These pictures really are a sight for sore eyes. Obama really did win. Yesterday wasn't a dream. Barack Obama is President of the United States of America!!!!!

for bringing a little Christmas joy to me in the form of last night's classic episode of Gossip Girl. Oh how I love GG. Laugh all you want. It is so good to me. Poor sad, angry, drunk and broken Chuck. I just can't get enough. And when Chuck finally gave in and came over to Blair's....I love them.I really look forward to re-hashing each episode with Maren Monkey. And the general consensus

This article made my day yesterday. Ever heard of karaoke rage? Well now you have. A Malaysian man was just killed for "hogging the microphone" at a karaoke bar. And in Thailand earlier this year, a gunman shot 8 people dead because he was sick of hearing them sing John Denver's "Country Roads." (A personal favorite of mine. I have a great memory of singing it around a campfire with friends.

I am so sick of this face. And the sound of her voice. And her mannerisms. People waited in line for hours to see her speak in Henderson this week. That baffles me. For what? What can she possibly have to say that is worth hearing? She has no credibility whatsoever, has reduced to basically spewing lies and hate against Obama, and doesn't have appear to have any real grasp on any issue,

I had a super fun, virtually sleepless, quasi-productive, halloween celebrating, curly haired/high heeled/dress up clothed, beautiful fall weekend. Friday night was a law club dinner at lake las vegas featuring Senator Reid (I've accepted my status as a groupie) followed by the school's black and white party with the afterparty where I got to shake it like a polaroid picture until the wee hours.

The election's over, right? I long for the days when Sarah Palin was absent from the headlines and I anxiously await her becoming ancient history. Anyways, I know this is a few days after the fact, and as far as I'm concerned Sarah Palin has dropped off the face of the earth--she's completely irrelevant--but the zingers just keep on coming. On Thursday, Palin said this:"We believe that the best

I know who I'm voting for. I watch the debate to remind myself why I'm voting for Obama and why I'm voting against McCain. Last night was case in point. No need for a 3rd debate recap. If I could get on the BYU soap box and talk about why I'm supporting Obama, I would. Obama is better for our country. We need a President who can change America and change the world.

The latest Washington Post/ABC poll has Obama with a 10 point lead over McCain at 53-43. McCain's response? "My friends, we've got them just where we want them." Right.

Sarah Palin today said that Obama "would diminish the prestige of the United States Presidency." Where does she get off? Not like there is much prestige left, besides the actual office itself, at the end of the Bush administration. She is just running her mouth in her interviews lately.Her other comments: "Doggonit he fails to tell the American people with candor and with truthfulness what his

Boring, no? Obama by a landslide. Nothing spectacular, but he owned the debate. He was more substantive, more presidential, clear, authoritative, and empathetic. More everything except erratic, which clearly goes to McCain. Obama did great on foreign policy too, supposedly McCain's territory. I didn’t think Obama had a great “connection” with the voters moment but I don't think he needed one

They both did what they needed to do. Biden absolutely rocked it and stayed completely on message. He also laid the smack down when he talked about knowing what it is like to be a single parent, and what families worry about. Not letting them monopolize that. Palin sounded like she had some idea of what she was talking about. What was her answer on Israel? Where did she get that?! We all know

If you have sensitive ears, there are a few questionable words in this clip, but I'm posting it anyways. I read a really interesting article in the Wall Street Journal today about the fact that only 54% of new voters say they are definitely going to vote in this election. I have quite a few friends and people I've met that say they don't like either candidate so they aren't voting. THAT IS

- The McCain campaign banned journalist Maureen Dowd from the Straight Talk Air. - The House failed to pass the bailout. Interesting votes from Nevada--Berkley and Heller both voted no, while archenemy Jon Porter voted yes, which may be a risky move in his hotly-contested race.

Dodgers are going to the post-season and BYU is ranked #8 in the AP poll. Holler. I'm glad I have them to cheer for because the Rebels are awful. After an impressive first quarter against UNR last night, they were back to being the old Rebels we know and don't love. It was painful to watch. I think 3 wins this season, 2 in overtime, might just have been a fluke.On another happy note, October

I'm pretty speechless after watching Katie Couric's interview with Sarah Palin. Is she really this uninformed? Does she actually believe this stuff as she says it? I can't believe this is Palin's best after weeks tucked away with policy advisors teaching her about current events and feeding her talking points.

I really can't stand John McCain. This campaign suspension is ridiculous. Some people argue it is a desperate move, others say it is brilliant. Phony or real, it is just another distraction. McCain was bored with his lackluster campaign so he picked Palin. There follows a bump in the polls, lots of enthusiasm, reenergizing the base, yada yada. Well here we are a few weeks later and thank

It's really annoying when the first thing people say to you is "you look tired." This has happened 3 times in the past few days. Thanks, I know. I look tired, I am tired, the dark circles under my eyes refuse to go away and no amount of concealer is helping. Thanks for reminding me. But it reminds me of a scene in one of my fav chick flick movies, The Holiday, where Cameron Diaz's character

The past few weeks have basically been all school, all the time, and my usually positive attitude has been waning. Its a good thing I have things to look forward to and keep me from spiraling into a depressing life in the library, like Monday night FHE with my roommates. The activity: Gossip Girl. Not all that wholesome, somewhat inappropriate, and completely ridiculous, but chalk full of

"Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God...That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God's plan."

"Let me be a clear as possible: I have said before and I will repeat again, I think people's families are off limits, and people's children are especially off limits. This shouldn't be part of our politics...It has no relevance to Gov. Palin's performance as governor, or her potential performance as a vice president...And so I would strongly urge people to back off these kinds of stories.

Maren has been just about demanding that I blog more, so this is mainly to appease her. School is back in and somehow this semester promises to be just as busy, if not more, than last year, but she won't accept that as an excuse. So I guess I’m going to jump on the bandwagon and do the obligatory Olympics post. Who doesn't love Olymicmania! We get some quality time with Bob Costas. You can watch

So I hate when people use their blogs for political rants, and I usually try to keep mine to a minimum, unless someone says something ridiculous or completely unfounded- then they’re just asking for it. But the latest cover of the New Yorker blew me away. Here we have every right-wing stereotype, scare tactic, and misinformation thrown at Obama in this campaign: in the Oval Office, picture of Bin

Just a few things, since its been a few weeks.1. My latest addiction: bikram yoga. 90 minutes, a sequence of 26 postures, twice each, in a room somewhere around 105 degrees with 40% humidity. Sounds awful, but it is fantastic. I'm seriously hooked and I actually miss it on my off days. My favorite part is when you finish an awful backbend pose and they say 'if you feel nauseous, that's

I stayed a day/night in Venice on my way to London. You don't really get that Venice is actually a town in the water with no cars until you get there. I loved it. On the Rialto bridge. St. Mark's This is disgusting. You couldn't pay me enough to let pigeons land on me. Crazies pay money for food for the birds and then let them fly around all over them. This lady was hilarious.

Let's not talk about how sad I am to leave Florence. If I had the money, I would stay through the end of the summer. Anyone want to sponsor me?Here's a view of the city from Piazzale Michelangelo, a great spot across the river. It was windy, leave me alone. At night, these chalk guys come out and do amazing pictures of famous art. So cool. And it always reminds me of Mary Poppins when they jump

The Duomo is the famous cathedral that you can see anywhere in the Florence skyline. On Friday my friend Brian and I decided we had to climb it before we left. It's 463 stairs to the top but it really isn't that bad. I thought the climb at St. Peter's Basilica was worse. This is a picture of the Duomo from across the river. View from the top. Ignore my lazy eye. I'm not sure whythat decided

I thought I was done with seeing churches, but some friends got me to go see one more, the Cappella Brancacci. It is a tiny chapel on the Oltrano (other side of the river) but the frescoes there are famous. It was hard to get a good picture, no flash photography allowed, but here's one side of the chapel. This is Masaccio's 'Temptation of Adam and Eve.' My friend Brian pointed out that the

My parents said more pictures, so here's a few. I'm going to be really sad to leave Florence this weekend! This is the fun little street I live on. I love this church in the Piazza by my apartment. I walk through this every night on my way home. View from a restaurant earlier this week, about 30 minutes outside Florence. The Duomo dome--the Duomo is in the center of the city. The weather has

On Sunday a few of us girls headed out to the beach. Risky move, since it's rained every single day for the past week, but oh well. Once we got to the beach, we found out they were all private beaches, so we paid a few euro each to go sit under an umbrella (ella, ella) and soak up some sun. The water was pretty cold, but it was still fun. After about 1 1/2 hours of bright sun, it started pouring

On Saturday, my friend Brian wanted to go see this town that he had heard about, so we decided to make a day trip. After the hour train ride, we started walking around the town, which is famous for its towers, but after a while we realized there were no towers. That's when I see a sign that says 'San Gimignano 11k.' Awesome. We didn't see any cabs or busses, so we just started walking thinking we

It was really rainy last Thursday, but I wanted to do something fun so I ventured over to the Ferragamo Shoe Museum. I love high heels so it was a good afternoon. They don't let you anywhere near the actual Ferragamo store, which is on a really posh street with Fendi, Prada, etc., but they send you around the side and then downstairs. It had tons of high heels from like 1920 and on. I'd like

Last Wednesday our group went out to Siena to have dinner. It was really rainy, because Italy doesn't want us to have any sunny days, so I didn't get many pictures. Here is the Piazza Del Campo. It's really famous for a horse race they have twice a year. The Siena Duomo might be prettier than Florence's. I had to get a picture of this. Know what it is? That's right, nutella pizza! Ingenious.

I wanted to see something yesterday after class, but I'm burnt out on museums and churches for a few days, so I went across the river to the Boboli Gardens. It costs 10 euro , which I really didn't want to pay just to walk around a garden, but it was totally worth it. The gardens were built for the Medici family when they moved into a new palace. They are ginormous, and a total maze, so I just

If you can name what movie that came from, you're really cool. A friend and I headed to Rome on Thursday night and attempted to cram as much sight seeing as possible in 2 1/2 days. We're cheap so we took the regional train which is a 3 1/2 hour train ride. Gorgeous views of Italy, but who wants to sit on a train that long. We had to stay at 2 different hostels, and I'll just say that the 2nd was

St. Peter's was maybe my favorite place we went to in Rome. We climbed up to the top of the dome to see the view and it was sweet. Ignore my shiny face. I just climbed 320 stairs, which isn't much, but the stairway gets narrower the closer you get to the top and for someone who isn't claustrophobic, it was still a little to small for my liking. (Also ignore the double chin. I blame it on gelato.)

So if you come to Italy, you have to see the leaning tower of Pisa. I could have passed on this trip. On our way back from Cinque Terre, we got off the train in Pisa to see the tower. Here's how it went. Walk 20 or so minutes in a straight line through town with all the other tourists. Get to the tower. Not as big as I thought it would be, and it doesn't really look like it leans that much.

Friday morning we took the train to Cinque Terre (5 villages), which is a really cute and amazingly gorgeous set of towns along the coast. They are seriously built straight up on cliffs. It's so cool. We stayed Friday and Saturday night in the first village, Riomaggiore, and hiked from there to the last town on Saturday. Sorry, but there's a lot of pictures. The beaches were really rocky, but

I think this is looking back at town 3. from 2 to 3 was about 70 minutes. The trail went pretty high up the mountains. Seriously cool, yes? Scenery. From 3 to 4 was about 90 minutes. Town 4. Right when we got into town, we could smell all the food, but we kept going. 2 hours to town 5.

So this is how narrow the trails were. You couldn't fit 2 people shoulder to shoulder. And no rails or ropes or anything. There were a few parts that 1 wrong step would kill you. Crazy story of the trip is my friend's shoulder dislocating and an army guy going the other way putting it back into place. Here I am really happy in town 5. We made it after about 5 1/2 hours.

For Tara, Aims, and Faroe--fat kids post multiple pictures of food so they can remember how good it was. This bruschetta was amazing.

Fiesole is a really cute town on a hill 4 miles outside of Florence. We took the bus up there last night, went on a little hike to see the view, went to an outdoor museum and had a great dinner. It was the first afternoon all week it didn't rain. But it's raining again today, and is supposed to all weekend. This is a GORGEOUS view of the whole city below. It totally looks fake.

Some of this doesn't even look real. This is a view across the Arno (the river). My apartment is just a few blocks from here. This is the Ponte Vecchio. It's a bridge lined with jewelry shops, so it totally feels like a regular street. When the Medici family moved across the river, they wanted a connecting route to keep them out of contact with their people, so they built a walkway over the

That quote basically sums up why I'm here. Life has been pretty dull the past 8 months as school sucked up most of my time leaving a practically non-existent social life (then a few friends abandoned Vegas which didn't help much). The blog is mostly here because I don't want to email pictures to my fam every day. We'll see if I keep it up after I get back.Florence is unbelievable. I'm already
