Earth Day

I love the Earth.

I love celebrating it.

To me, Earth Day is the Earth's birthday. And if we get a birthday party every year, why shouldn't the Earth? It is, after all, pretty awesome.

Last year I celebrated Earth Day in Korea. It involved making a dress out of plastic bags, wearing that dress into the city, having my friends not even recognize it was a dress made out of plastic for the first half hour, and then eating a giant bowl of ramen (which I eventually threw up back into the bowl from whence it came). It was a great Earth Day.

This Earth Day was also quite exciting.

There was an Earth Day party.

This time since I couldn't be in Korea, I brought Koreans to me:

There was dancing.

A rare appearance by cute baby Sophie and her cute parents.

Recycled wear. Really trendy this time of year.
(darren buys all of his clothing pre-owned so he's still legit)

And pictures where not every person was ready...but we celebrate this, too.

Some crazy things happened at the party, but what happens at Earth Day celebrations stays at Earth Day celebrations. Any videos taken this day shall be erased with no thought in the future.

Also, I know all of you are admiring my Earth Day attire. As well you should be. It is perhaps one of the greatest costumes ever to be created by my hands. It took an embarrassingly impressive amount of time to complete and was constructed by hula hoops, flower wire, fabric, and glue. And innovation.

You're welcome, Earth. And Happy Birthday!

Okay. It is really time to introduce myself as I am a bona fide blog stocker of Cindy. But before you get all creeped out, let me just point the finger at Ricky and Mindy. Because Ricky is my brother and he told me a while ago about you and how fun you were and how I should read your blog. And then I couldn't stop.

And this post is classic Cindy and why I need your blog in my life. It brings laughter as Nothing. Else. Can. Bravo on Earth Day Celebration and that rockin' costume.

And please know, when R & M come to visit us and go white water rafting, you are so totally invited.

Another confession

(this isn't about the same subject matter as before) A lot of the time when I meet people I feel like I know them from somewhere. A good percentage of the time I realize the only way I know them is that they resemble one of the characters on the classic board game Guess Who? Does this happen to anyone else?!?!

Recent Obsession Flair-ups

You know how there are some things that you love so much and you experience these things a ton but then after awhile they just seem to fade out? But then some time passes and you almost rediscover these things with new eyes and obsess over them again almost worse than the first time? This has recently happened to me with a few things. They include: Elton John Tater Tots Seinfeld Showering Grape Juice Thats it. PS: (Did you know?!) Thanks to Dare-bear-stare for helping me learn that my own Denver International Airport is the largest airport in the U.S. at 53 square miles! Props to Denver yet again!

Take Home Chef Wannabe

So once upon a time my friend Jeff and I made up our own little tradition. We called it "Friday Picture" and each Friday we would walk around campus and take a picture with the most awkward/awesome/unique looking individual we could find. It was something I looked forward to every week, and we would constantly surprise ourselves with the kind of people we'd see walking around BYU. A lot of weridos there. One day we decided to meander through the library to see if there was anyone extra special for our Friday Picture. Boyyy, did we find that special person! World, meet Take Home Chef Lookalike. I saw him and I couldn't believe the similarities. The striking features. The blond, pointy hair. We even found some silverware to make the photo more true to life. ( The real Curtis Stone ) Try to tell me they don't look alike. Just try. I think the best part of the story is that Jeff's girlfriend at the time (now wife) had dated Take Home Chef-a-like. And we di...
