um, really?

ok, seeing a dog on a leash is typical. seeing a kid on a leash isn't quite unheard of, but it still makes you question either what kind of demon wild child has to be held back by a leash or what kinds of parenting skills their parents have. but seeing a CAT ON A LEASH!?

A CAT!!?!?
SERIOUSLY!?!

i kid you not. i was walking past the duck pond south of campus today and there were a few couples here and there (since, of course, a duck pond is such a hot spot for couples to go and have a romantic moment...i am proud to say that i have not had any romantic moments at the duck pond). one couple was feeding the ducks, another was just walking around, and another couple was walking their dog.

or so i thought.

the more i watched the little light brown dog, the more i realized how un-dog-like it seemed. it just kind of sat there, on a leash, in between some of these trees. and the fact that it kept staring up one of the trees really confused me. i mean, dogs don't look up trees. they pee on trees.

then the 'dog' decided that it wanted to try and climb the tree. that was when i realized that this was no dog. it was a freaking CAT. on a LEASH. this couple was taking their cat for a walk!

seriously people? SERIOUSLY? its a stinking cat. putting a cat on a leash is like eating sunscreen. you just don't do it!

Love

I found this gem on a friends blog. And I am a big fan.

My Life Lately

M Here.
Well folks, I am 20. I finally left my teenage years on thursday january 22nd. WOOHOO!!! SO now it is time to party. In fact, tonight I am having my birthday party. You are all invited. So i feel like a lot of things have happened just in this past week so this post will be a little scatter brained as i try to put it all in here. Sunday Gin made a delicious birthday dinner for me. It consisted of homemade pizza and a delicious cake with all the gossip girl characters on it. She also gave me some amazing presents. She is too good to me. I was super busy all week with school and it finally got to me and I had a break down on wednesday. Thank goodness that is over. Now for the day I know you all really care about.
MY BIRTHDAY!!!
Okay, so I went to work that morning for a couple hours and then decided that I didn't want to be there anymore, although everyone was being very nice to me on account of it being birthday. So I came home, except I didn't have my key with me, so yeah, I was locked out. So I went and played with Jaimie for a couple hours before I had to go to class. It was a lot of fun and I can't wait until I live with that girl. Then I went to woodshop, which I am taking because I have to for my major. And in the process of trying to make a dovetail, I managed to sand half of my finger off. Okay so it wasn't half of my finger but it was painful and there was blood. Then I came home and some of my friends came over to see me, which was very kind of them. Then I went downstairs and watched some gossip girl with Dede and Betsy. Then I went to bed. It was a great day and I am so thankful for my great friends who made it such a great day! I think that is all of the important stuff. Sorry if this post bored you but it is my birthday week so I get to do whatever I want! :)


Weird things I saw on campus yesterday:
3 people wearing sunglasses (it was rainy and overcast...)
And one of then was wearing sunglasses in class...
A kid wearing a fanny pack on the library...
A kid taking the library tour and taking pictures of all the different rooms he went into,
maybe he was trying to figure out where the pretty girls studied....

Well peace out! I have to go get ready to go to park city to star gaze :)

Reasons Why SkyHarbor is the best airport

1. FREE Wireless Internet
How I am bloggin at this very moment
2. Friendly Security People
They were so nice, joking with me. And they weren't all uptight about checking my boarding pass and I.D. Also they did not make awkward comments about my license picture...
3. It is in Arizona
Which everyone knows is the best state. Ever.
4. The people watching is SPECTACULAR
The man sitting across form me has suspiciously shiny nails... manscaping anyone?
5. I always see someone I know
Currently I see 2 people I know, and at least 4 others that I know for a fact are going back to BYU. The BYU clothing kind of gives it away...

Really SkyHarbor airport is THE BEST. If you don't agree with me after reading this post, something is seriously wrong with you and you should see a doctor. And in 3ish hours I will be back in the bubble. Wish me luck!
