pinheads

We are the Pinheads. Three awesome ladies all studying graphic design who absolutely love food, laughing, and each other.

Last week, the three of us were FINALLY able to all hang out and enjoy summer together. So first off, we had a picnic on the beach and talked forever.

The next day, we went to THE happiest place on earth, Disneyland. We also got dinner at Albertos and shared the greatest meal of carne asada fries ever. Back at Disney I finally got to see World of Color, go on the new Little Mermaid ride, got a pineapple whip (mah fav), rode the Storybook ride, Star Tours, the Haunted Mansion, and Big Thunder Mountain TWICE. YESSSS!! SO much fun.

I love my Pinheads :]

Disneyland Bachelorette Edition

My beautiful friend, Celina is getting married to my twin and dear friend, Robbie in a just few weeks; so how do we celebrate her last days as a bachelorette?

Why going to Disneyland, of course!!

A couple of her bridesmaids and myself took this lady out all day to the happiest place on earth. I'm hoping all of the walking around burned some of the 20935720525+ calories I ate. Holy. But I cannot and will not deny a pineapple whip float nor a funnel cake covered in strawberries if they are calling my name.

Anyways, can't wait for the wedding to see my two favorite THK friends be wed, so we can party all night like old times :]

Summer 2011 Update

Summer is almost up, and I failed at blogging about anything, which is really sad, because this has been the most adventurous summer ever. So I will do a small recap!

Besides working a few days during the summer, every weekend

in July had been jam-packed.

4th of July weekend highlights:

• met Bear for lunch at his work where we got my first mac and cheese pulled pork sammie from Bear's favorite food truck.
  
  
• went to a beach in Carlsbad where we found a secret parkinglot, read, and ate strawberries.
  
  
• went to the zoo, ate nummy food, met Bear's friend, and road the tram.
  
  
• bought my new MacBook Pro that I have recently named Beemo.
• Oh yeah, and for the 6th year in a row, didn't watch the fireworks together. Bear had a test to study for, so we did a raincheck till next year :]

The weekend after that I just went to visit my parents. That's always relaxing. I just sleep and get loved by my parents.

July 15th weekend aka Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows pt. 2 Premiere:

• Waited for this weekend since part 1 came out. Alex and I met up with Kim and Greg in Victorville around 9pm (poor Kim and Greg had been there since 3pm). I busted out Beemo and Kim and I rewatched part 1 until the midnight premiere. I thought the movie was good and I know I have to see it again to see it strictly as a movie and not compare it to the books, but I think my expectations were too high or something!!! Sigh. It was still awesome though. Cried my eyes out.

Then it was time to prep for the annual Harry Potter Party! And what was awesome this time around was that Bear was there to be our guest of honor - Harry Potter himself! The party was great. The food was awesome as usual with our licorice wands, chocolate frogs, chickens, potatoes, etc etc. The house elves would have been proud. The games were great too, and even though I didn't win the trivia game (because the questions were insane) I think this was one of the best HP parties to date!

Weekend of the 23rd was COMIC-CON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• I don't have the pictures yet, but once I get them, I'll post them. Tiring, but AMAZING 4-day weekend, and I can't wait to do it all again next year. My brother and I are hardcore about certain things, so we will wake up at 3 in the morning to wait in line for something. And we did just that. Highlights were seeing Steven Spielberg, Peter Jackson, Game of Thrones panel, Avatar Panel, Colin Ferrell, the list of actors and actresses goes on... but the BEST thing I took away from Comic-Con is my undying love for...

ADVENTURE TIME!! A hilarious and random cartoon.

July 30th weekend... sigh.

• Bear came to visit. We went running in the morning and from then on it went down hill. I just started getting sick and feeling like crap. We went to go watch Cowboys and Aliens and ate at Johnny Rockets, but by the end of the day I had a headache and was getting a flu. Next thing you know, I'm bedridden for nearly a week with the flu. Awful. All I did was watch Netflix and anime since that's all my body let me do.

Since then, nothing adventurous has come up. Just work, and trying to enjoy summer until school starts. Oh, my church did their annual Dance Show, and I did one of the dance numbers. It was a Tahitian dance, and now I'm actually hoping I can carry on and take classes! It was fun and challenging!

My #1 fan who was kind enough to come to both of my show nights :]

Between all of this I've been definitely going to the movies a lot, but I'll do that post later. I've been really blessed to have such a fun summer with amazing friends and family to enjoy it with. Maybe Heavenly Father is prepping me since he knows this semester is supposed to be the most intense semester of the program :[

OLD POST

Ok, here is a post I never published, but here it is. no pictures from the weekend of June the 24th!

Bear and I have this habit of cramming adventures into our weekends. If we're not out and about doing something, we're drained of energy and just take naps.

And this past weekend was no exception.

Friday - I came early in the morning to help Bear back up his apartment and load his car. While he was at work, I cleaned the apartment as much as I could, and watched the Princess and the Frog on Netflix. FINALLY. I thought that movie was absolutely adorable. When Bear came back that afternoon, we finished loading both of our cars, and headed to his new apartment and began unpacking. We were getting a little aggravated with each other around this time hahaha, but it was OK.

Then after that we decided to get dinner at our favorite sushi place, Edo in La Jolla. We got two rolls, and this fatty tuna sashimi that my brother was going nuts about. It cost a fortune, and let me tell you... it wasn't THAT amazing. I'd have regular tuna over it any day :\

Saturday - We woke up early and I got to see Alex's uncle since my baptism. That's like over 2 years ago, then after that we went to a place called Cody's. Parking was a nightmare, but we somehow managed to find VIP parking near the restaurant. ZOMMMG, best French toast EVER. I'm in love.

Then after that we went to the Running Store to get me some running shoes!! That place is amazing. After finding out I'm lopsided, have one 7.5 foot and one 8 size food, and spent way too much money on insoles, I am a now the proud owner of LEGIT running shoes. It's like I'm running on clouds!

THEN we cut people in line to get off the exit to the Del Mar Fair!! Everyone and their mom was at the fair that day--it was SO packed. But we did what we went there to do - ate a turkey leg, looked at the bunnies, ate a cinnamon roll, looked at the student art exhibit, drank lemonade, walked around the game section, and ended by buying a fried Snickers. I seriously spent like $50 at the fair alone. Sweet mercy! But it was all worth it to eat that cinnamon roll. Seriously, the best cinnamon roll you can ever have touch your lips.

After THAT we went straight to Petco Park to go to the Padre's game!! First of all, Alex and I aren't baseball fans. Like, at all, but it was nice because I got to see his dad for the first time in a while. But then we got kicked out of those seats, so Alex and I went to the top to find out actual seats, and there he ran into his friend's from his old ward. It was nice to put faces with names. Then we found out a sister that served with Alex in his mission was at the game also, so we went to find her, and we talked to her for a while. She was awesome :] But then Alex and I decided that it was time to go (during the 7th inning bahahaa) to Long Beach.

So Alex and I drove separately to Long Beach (we didn't want to bother Alex's uncle as we worked like a madman on a project at the apartment). So I'm pretty sure we knocked out after getting back.

Sunday - We woke up, made french toast, fell back asleep until Church. We had to leave after sacrament because Alex had to drive back to SD. I made him stay long enough to eat the nummy dinner I made - chicken, baked beans, garlic mashed potatoes, corn bread, and brownies! Then we took a nap, because that's what we do best, and then Alex left to San Diego land.

Then I picked up my BFF Josh and we went to the Irvine Fireside to hear Elder Groberg's talk! Sweeeeeeet!

"You Fly, I Buy"

Father's Day weekend, my brother, sister and I all headed down to our parents' house for the weekend. It's always fun when we're together, and for the first half I mostly hung out with my brother and we did what we always do - go to the movies.

This is probably in my top-ten favorite movies ever. I thought it was fantastic. It's like a modern-day Goonies. They don't make movies like this anymore, and JJ Abrams... that man is like a sci-fi God.

I just realized that the picture I chose is in French... Anyways, I really liked this movie!! I think my brother and I are the only people who thought the graphics were downright embarrassing a few times. Like, we just looked at each other and busted up laughing in the middle of the movie because the graphics were horrendous. Other than that, I thought it was great! James McAvoy never lets me down.

I love the summer movie releases.

Summer Reads

Please look past the heinous book cover. I know... Anyways, I'm in Sister Tingey's Summer Book Club! This was the first book, and it's the same author of P.S. I Love You. Basically it's about an anal woman who has to raise her 6-year old nephew who has an "imaginary friend", only his anal aunt can see him too, and romance begins. I know the summary sounds a little weird, but it's actually a very good read. I enjoyed it.

Annnd, that's all I gotta say about that. I'm bad at book reviews :]
