It's Close to Midnight.... Something Evil's Lurkin' in the Dark

Hello again!!

If you know anything about Michael Jackson or his music (which you better because I am obsessed with him), you can tell that this post is all about Thriller by the Odyssey Dance Theater!! They came to the Kent Concert Hall on the 18th of October and tickets were only $5! I went with Em, Tony, Cait, Ally, Grandma, Nana, Kelsie and Jeff! The doors opened at seven so we decided to be down there at 6:30! We got a really good spot in line, we were about the fourth group in line with only a few people ahead of us! We were standing there chatting, taking pictures and having a good time.... when all a sudden they opened the doors and Zombies came out from everywhere! They came from the doors, they crawled creepily up the stairs just to the left of us... literally, everywhere! Kelsie and Emily were terrified so they were both standing in the middle of the circle trying to hide from the Zombies... but naturally, that just attracts the Zombies because they like getting a reaction out of people. So we were laughing so hard at Kels and Em because the Zombies would not leave them alone! I get scared REALLY easily but standing in line wasn't that bad because I wasn't the target of the Zombies! There was one, however, that Em and I call the Hisser! She got super close to my face... as if that wasn't awkward enough and then hissed even closer to me! It was way scary but kinda funny at the same time! They finally let us in to our seats!





  Me and Emily waiting for the show to start! 












 We were a little freaked out ====>>


Once we were seated, we were constantly looking around just to make sure there wasn't anything around us or someone about to jump us! Ally and I were talking and one of the girls crawled over our chairs like we weren't even there! They definitely don't the know meaning personal bubble!! I only got a few pictures during the show because there was only one act that was light enough to take pictures without a flash!














This act was really funny and REALLY strange at the same time! They are wearing Jason masks :) They had everything from Chainsaws ===>> to machetes and baseball bats!










Before the show, during intermission and after the show... these are what we had to deal with! They are creepy and sneaky! They will NOT leave you alone until all the lights are off and the show is about to start! We sat there after the show ended, trying to decide which way to leave without being ambushed!













This girl was SO funny! She was giving high fives to the kids! She walked with a creepy limp too. But, she would NOT leave this poor kid alone! She played with his hair, stared him down... everything! She got SOO close to his face but would not stop. Every time the Zombies came out, she went straight to him and stayed the whole time!


All in all, it was a WAY fun night :) A little spooky but super funny!

Witch's Night Out

Wow.. it's been a real long time since I have blogged... dang! I was doing really well the first few weeks and then October hit and things got really crazy in my life! Anyway... some fun things have happened since I last blogged: Well, I have been home like three weekends in a row... that's always a party! I went to the hospital for a crazy allergic reaction to eggs that I wasn't aware of! We had the Iron Chef competition on my floor in Snow! We had one hour to make an entree, a dessert and something else of our choice and our secret ingredient was carrots. My roommates and I made kinda a mix between Sweet & Sour and Orange Chicken from a Panda Express recipe with steamed rice with vegetables and a smoothie for dessert!!
 

Marissa and I were bored one night and since Dave was out with his family for his birthday... we decided to steal his bed and put it on the pool table in the lounge! We laughed really hard when we found him asleep there the next morning!


This last weekend Tara, Elli, Christina and I all went up to Heebs!! We stopped at Gardner's Village for Witch's Night Out and had so much fun!! 

Most everyone shows up in costumes and since we didn't know if we were going or not.... these are some of the strange things that Mama Livingston threw in a bag that we had to make work :)


We walked through some shops and met some interesting characters!


And joined the witch's out on the dance floor for some fun dancing!

Then when it was time to do, we stopped by the bakery for some delicious treats!!


When we got home Tara, Elli and Christina all fell asleep like this... After Tara played an awesome song on her didgeridoo :)



Good weekend!

Thank Heavens for Conference!!

Well this week was definitely an eventful one! I was chillin in the living room with Tony and Marissa on Monday and we heard all kinds of whooping and hollering coming from outside so we jumped to the window and saw a group of boys doing the gallon challenge!! So we ran downstairs and watched them all throw up... it was pretty hilarious! After getting bored with that we came back and we watched the Last Song with all the roomies and Tony! Em and I went down to Kelsie's apartment after the movie and stayed there with her and Jeff until 2:30 in the morning! On Tuesday night, we watched Dear John.... worst movie EVER! I didn't cry which is a HUGE surprise but it sucked because the whole movie was depressing... and then I stayed up until two in the morning writing my TERRIBLY written philosophy paper.. :P
Wednesday... ok, I am done with this... basically we watched a movie every night. Wednesday was Center Stage
Thursday was Dilemma
Friday- Friday rolled around and I was SO excited to go home.... but oh wait! We ended up leaving 4 hours after we had planned to because the FREAKING MECHANICS sent the part to fix Hailey's car to Kentucky?! What the... how do you get Utah confused with Kentucky?! So when that was FINALLY finished we left Logan at about 6:30. Well I met up with Jenna and we went to Denny's because we were starving and knew we weren't going to make it home in time to go to Tony's Tacos before it closed. So we decided to save Tony's for the next day's dinner and go to breakfast at Denny's. Jenna ordered all you can eat pancakes and ate about three :)


Saturday: I had a hair appointment with Kylie this morning in a new salon called Paint my Piggies. Oh my goodness, it was SO adorable! I got the blonde and the blue put back into it and I couldn't be more happier! I have missed the crazy colors SO much! Since the salon is so new they don't have all their new equipment and things so I had my hair dried by this crazy contraption!


I don't really sleep at college so when I got home from the salon and Lindsey's soccer game, I was exhausted. We had left over Papa Murphey's for lunch and then I was dead asleep on the couch. I did, however, wake up with a snuggle buddy laying in my lap! I love this guy!!




After my nice nap and watching the afternoon session of conference, Jenna and I went to Tony's for dinner. It was SO GOOD!!! I honestly can't describe how happy I was to finally eat there again!! Mmm DELICIOUS!!

Sunday- Sunday was a lovely day! Mom made eggs, sausage, hash browns and toast for breakfast! All of my favorite things! Ashton, Lu, mom and I gathered blankets and pillows and lugged them to the living room where we sat for the next two hours eating snacks, play conference BINGO and listened to the words of the prophet! During the two hour break in between sessions I packed up the rest of my stuff so I would be ready to go back to school. We watched the last session together and played BINGO again but this was for presents, not just treats. After conference, I lugged my stuff from my room to the living room while mom finished making dinner. She made Country Fried chicken with mashed potatoes and country gravy! SO good! She even sent me home with leftovers! Bethany came to pick me up and after getting her roommate in Salt Lake, we were on our way back to Logan! When I got here, I was the only one. I unloaded my stuff and waited for the rest of my roommates to get home! Marissa came home from work about half hour after I did and I was so happy! Shmem came home a few minutes after that and we both went out to help her bring her things in from the car. We unloaded all her Halloween stuff and then naturally went into the middle room and laughed our faces off! We always have a freaking party when we're together!!! And now I am sitting here starving and I am trying to type this super fast so I can go eat! All in all... Conference is the best weekend of the year! I love being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints :)

Until next time... "You cannot make eternal choices without eternal consequences" Yay, conference!!
