withdraws

I can't help it.

I got addicted.
Not to any illegal substances,
Not to some online video game that will completely consume my life until I loose all pigment in my skin from sitting inside on the computer all day,
Not to adrenaline inducing extreme sports.
No.
It's worse.
And I'm afraid the only cure is a plane ticket...

I'm having withdraws  from 

London, England.

In an attempt to compensate for my British fever I heard that Provo has its own little farmer's market on Saturday mornings down off Center.

Done.

I am so there.

I miss the open markets.

 I miss the crowds of people shopping.

I miss the endless booths of merchandise and antiques.

This was what I really wanted to see yesterday morning:

This is what I got:

I was a little disappointed.

rise & shout

because there is at least one good thing about the fall...

and no I don't mean bouquets of sharpened pencils

or the leaves changing

or school shopping 

or that wonderful autumn chill in the air

(okay, there's a lot of things I like about fall)

but this particular thing starts on Saturday

I'll give you a hint:

Yes, I'm ridiculously excited about football season.

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Cougars!

baby showers...

a lot of these are thrown at BYU

none of them by me

yet...

I'm more in the bridal shower, wedding reception phase right now 

but I digress

we got to throw one for a lady back home a week or so ago

please enjoy this delicious little creation my mother and I put together:

this, my friends, is what we affectionately called 

the diaper cake

and I'm pretty sure it's the most darling thing since baby showers were invented

stacked and rolled diapers tied together with ribbon and and decorated with silk flowers

the cutest?

I think so too

life in holicolor

spring isn't officially here until after you've thrown large amounts of colored chalk at each other that takes days to finally get out of your ears and danced the sunny afternoon away to some sweet Indian tunes.
Enter Holi aka:
{The Festival of Colors} 
conveniently located at a Sri Sri Radha Krishna Temple near you.
