Every once in a while (ok, everyday), I look around Jezebel. Some would say that the stuff they talk about on that site are "totes inapropes," but actually, most of it is pretty awesome. I especially love their "worth it" section. It gives really good advice that you can trust. Fer reals. So I saw this post on dresses, and thought it was too good to be true. But I just checked the website, and it's real!
I used to spend hours on ModCloth (especially the "longer lengths" section) looking for the right dress (cute, with sleeves, and to-the-knees). And while I fully believe in the power of cardigans, sometimes you just want to be able to put on a dress and go. Well my friends. At this website, you can get a custom-made dress AT NO EXTRA CHARGE.
And they are cute:
And look at this!
SEE! IT'S A DREAM COME TRUE! This makes life so much easier for a Mormon-return-sister-missionary like myself.
I love it.
I'll let you know how it goes if I actually order a dress.
And when I do, it will probably be this one... with inset cap sleeves, and knee length.
I am Teddy. I am 7 years old and have no eyes and blood all over my face. I am dead. If you don't post this in 12 threads, I will come to u.............. ............... .r house at midnight and hide under ur bed. When ur asleep I'll kill y......ou. Don't believe me? Case 1: Patty Buckles got this email. She doesn't believe in chain letters. Well, foolish Patty. She was sleeping when her TV started flickering on and off. Now she's not with us anymore. Haha Patty, haha. You don't wanna be like Patty, do you? Case 2: George M Simon hates chain mail, but he didn't wanna die that night. He put it in 4 threads. Not good enough George. Now George is in a coma&we don't know if he'll ever wake up. Haha George haha! Now, you don't wanna be like George do you? Case 3: Valarie Tyler got this letter. Another chain letter she thought. She only put this in 7 threads. Well, that night when she was having a shower she saw Bloody mary\
Teddy gives evidence of this threat with 3 cases as examples. How could you not believe him? I had to do it.
Also, my coworker told me yesterday that if you look at the elbow when you hi-five, you never miss. Good to know. I struggle sometimes.
Have you seen this video yet? They showed it after General Conference in conjunction with missionary work. Makes me tear up every time.
I've been wanting to get back into running and needed something to motivate me. I wanted to train for a race, but wasn't sure which, or when. Also, the entrance fees for these races (though they are often for a good cause) can be kind of steep. I was excited to hear about Push to the Finish where you can "provide an opportunity for children with physical disabilities to be able to experience the enjoyment, competition, and sense of accomplishment of participating in a road race." Perfect! That way, for the next few months, I won't just be training for myself, but for someone else. You need to have extra endurance to run WHILE pushing someone. Luckily, it looks like there are a lot of 5k's coming up, I think that's pretty much all I can handle for now.

I won't be able to do a race in a while since I'm helping with the soccer league every Saturday til June, so I thought I would take the time to recruit more people! This group is just starting out, and they need all the help they can get. Click here to find out more and sign up!
You should watch it.
It is also kinda violent in parts (Tarsem Singh is a little loco, but in a good way). It is obvious when you will need to close your eyes an ears.
But it is beautiful too.
One of the most beautiful things I've ever seen...
AND IT STARS THE GUY FROM PUSHING DAISIES!!!
You're welcome.
Really, how could you NOT watch it.
Actually, if you have the choice, DON'T watch it on Netflix on your lame-o computer. It should be viewed in all its Blu-Ray glory. If your nice, I'll let you borrow my copy.
11. This song reminds me of when I got home from my mission. Did you know I left for my mission almost exactly 4 years ago? Weird.
12. Interesting translation fact: the verb "florecer" means "to bloom" or "to flourish". The nonsense phrase "flor es ser" seems to mean "flower is to be", and not "is to be" like it will happen, but that flower is the essence of being. cool.
15. If someone could arrange for this song to play while I strut across the stage on the 19th, that would be just dandy.
I think it's important to personalize the places you inhabit. This past weekend, I set out to find some of the quirkier parts of our house. Places that usually go unnoticed, especially by guests. This space is our own.
