FLASH MOB!!!

I can check another one off the bucket list because this Saturday Eden, Linzie, Tottie and I were in a flash mob.  It was pretty much the coolest thing ever.  We danced to Beyonces song Move Your Body at Taylorsville Dayzz with several hundred other people.  I am sure there are a billion terrible pictures/videos floating around of me and my bad dance moves because everyone had their cameras and cell phones out taking pictures. awkward.  In fact I cam across a video on youtube...

After the flash mob we decided to go to the drive in movies but not before taking this nerdy super man picture.

 When my brother saw this picture he asked if I was going as a KKK member with Friar Tuck as my sidekick. Tottie told him to go harass someone else like Trey Thompson aka Ty Pennington from Extreme Makeover.  Extreme Makeover is doing a house in my brothers neighborhood and my brother was set on harassing Ty for keeping him up at all hours of the night with all the building that is going on.  The only problem is that my brother can never remember his name and keeps calling him names like Chad Pennington, Tad Pendelton, or Trey Thompson.  Anyways heres the conversation, I couldn't stop laughing.

I feel happy of myself

I found this little gem today on a friends facebook page and it reminded me of a little kid that was in my Preschool this year...

My Quarter Life Crisis

Dear Lindsey:

Thank you for your cooking. I love you. I liked to be with you. Thank you for helping me tie my shoe yesterday.

(What did you like best about preschool?)
I liked to do the computers and paint.

(What is your favorite thing about Lindsey?)
My favorite thing about Lindsey is hugging her.

Hannah: "Mom, I want to give Lindsey this potato because she likes to cook and she like potatoes. She can wash it, smell it, taste it, eat it, and dry it after it is wet. She can cook it but she does not have enough potatoes. She likes kids and she likes me. She does not want makeup Mom because she wants a potato! I love her."

I love you.

Love, Hannah

This was a letter that I received (along with a potato)  from a 4 year old that I taught.  I have been with Alta High Preschool since 2005 and have loved every minute of it.  This year was my last year because I am looking for a "grown up" job that I can get full time and benefits with, thus the reason for my quarter life crisis.  Here are a few things that I am going to miss about my job...

Doing random things like making log cabins out of easy cheese and pretzels

I love these girls!  They were so sweet, they would leave me  post-it notes on my desk everyday saying that I'm perfect...

...and draw pictures on the white board.

 The girls ran out trying to beat each other to hug me and the door shut behind us and locked us all out.

I am going to miss my Preschoolers!

While I am more terrified than ever to find my spot in this world, I am excited for the new adventures that are to come...

Ultimate Dog Tease

So my brother called me up today laughing harder than ever.  The reason?  This video... he made me watch it while still on the phone so he could hear how funny I thought it was...

Human Hamster Ball

Last time Cole and I were in Costco, we weren't even in the store for more than 30 seconds when we saw a giant human hamster ball.  Immediately we grabbed one for each of us and continued on our way.

It wasn't until last week that we actually pulled  them out.  We had tried to a couple months earlier, we thew them in Kevins truck  and took them down to the closest gas station only to discover that we couldn't blow them up because the nozzle wouldn't fit.  We jumped in the bed of Kevs truck and headed home...or so we thought.  Kev had other ideas in mind.  He took us off roading.

After we had the beegeeezes scared right out of us he took us home.  

(Pictures soon to come)

Anyways last week we finally pulled them out.  Spencer had an air compressor so we were set.  So Me Nicole, Spencer, Lauren and Jalise headed out.

We took them to the park by Oak Hollow and next thing ya know we were rolling all over the place.

It was the best $30 I ever spent until mine popped, partially. 

Spence thought it would be fun to jump in...

...and then came Nicole

Surprisingly none of us got hurt (other than Spencer bouncing off the ground and landing on his neck).  After we had had our fun we packed up our Hamster Balls in Nicoles convertible and drove home.  And yes we did get a lot of weird stares.

Happy Birthday to ME!

This Monday was my birthday and a preschooler from last year surprised me by showing up at my work and bringing me this card that she made....

 

I then flipped the card over to find this written on the back...

Lindsey Conquers NYC

When I think of my trip to NYC I think of three things...

1. Food
All of our plans revolved around food.  I do have to say that I had the best food that I have ever had in my life while I was in New York.  They had everything from cupcakes, fortune cookies, sandwiches, and frozen hot chocolate all of which were as big as your face.  Come to think of it pretty much everything was as big as your face and tasted like it was made by the gods. 

Dylans Candy Bar did a good job putting me in a sugar coma

Michael & Siri took us to Serendipity for some huge frozen hot chocolate

2. Walking
Nicole and I walked everywhere.  We only managed to get lost a couple of times.  The first was when we ended up wandering around for about an hour because we couldn't find Siris apartment. After walking for quite a while we ended up calling Siri who told us to immediately turn around and head in the opposite direction that we were going.  She called back 15 minutes later, and thanks to me, we ended up being in the exact same spot we were in when she first called, don't ask me how. We couldn't stop laughing.  As it turns out our direction would have been right had we been on the other side of the subway.   It was funny because Nicole and I were both accusing the other of leading us in the wrong direction when in reality we were both wrong. 

The second was when we were trying to find the Seinfeld diner and accidentally got off in East Harlem and had scary men yelling at us. Our game plan was to stuff all our valuables in our bras and get the heck out of there. Luckily we finally made it to the Seinfeld diner....

When we weren't walking we were riding the subway.  I loved seeing all the talent (for the most part) perform.  It seemed as though everyone had thought of a different way to catch your attention.  I saw everything from a man playing what appeared to be a fishing pole in Chinatown to three homeboys doing all sorts of flips on the subway car, warranting dirty looks from sour faced women.  We did end up seeing some real shows...

Kaitlans Comedy Show

Memphis on Broadway

Ellens Singing Diner best chicken pot pie EVER!

3. Acting Stupid
 This is one thing that Nicole and I are good at and we found lots of opportunities to do just that.

Nicole and I also took the train to Washington D.C.  and stayed in hostels for two days.  While I can't say that D.C. was one of my favorite places, they did have some pretty awesome museums to mess around in...
