Sing it out loud and let yourself free.

post title lyrics from song here.Thanks Brooke and Jack for the Tradish Birthday CD. You done good, like usual!

10 little Hannah things, v. 2

1. Whitney Houston died. If you can't blog about this, what can you blog about? Can't stop listening to this in tribute to her.

But this will probs always be my favorite role of hers.

Oh, great! Now I've done it. I NEED to watch all Rogers and Hammerstein movies IMMEDIATELY or I might die.

2. Grad school application completion. Yeah, you heard me.  Finally, after driving all the way up to the U of U with Brooke and Baby Jack Attack to hand deliver a writing sample and letter of intent because they wouldn't accept an electronic copy,  I officially completed the process of applying to 6 graduate schools. Then of course we had to stop at H&M and get our shop on to celebrate.

There's a reason he's my boyfriend.

You're almost a year old! Where has the time gone?! 

3. Old Navy Sweater. Sisterhood of the traveling sweater, mabes? Amanda bought it first. Then Em Nor and I had to have it immediately. We went and bought it not 10 minutes after Manda walked in the door with it. I think I've worn it everyday since for at least 5 minutes because I'm obsessed with it. Originally $40 something marked down for $15. I mean, really. How could we not? 

4. Birthday that keeps on giving. I forced my friends to go eat delicious carbohydrates in my honor as we celebrated my birthday yet again with a big ol' group of girls lunch date at Noodles & Company. And it was delicious and perfect just like me.

I also forced them all to take thousands of pictures with me that will probably surface on FB soon. 

5. California Road Trip. What?! More time with my favorite girlfriends!? Get.a.clue! I love my besties and we've planned an excellent getaway for President's Day weekend. I know it will be hard to compete with last year's trip, but it will definitely be the BTOOL.

6. Skiing with Sarah. Def haven't been on the slopes since my BYU skiing class freshman year, so maybe I fell like 23 times. It's not even a big deal. No broken limbs, so we're all good. Sarah on the other hand is currently in the BYU ski class and she fell approximately 0 times like a champ.

Don't even worry that the mountain behind us is completely brown and gray. Snow of 2012, where the H are you?! 

7. Pesto. I would eat tortellini and pesto every.single.day for the rest of my life so long as my mother or thighs/booty didn't find out about it.

8. Agua. If there's one New Year's Resolution I have definitely stuck with, it's drinking more water. I am in love with my CamelBak water bottle. Me+Straws=Match made in heaven. You want proof? Por ejemplo:

Tucano's Graduation Lunch, Provo, UT,  April 2011

Best freaking tacos of my life in Puebla, Mexico, July 2011

Annual Afternoon Tea at the Grand America Hotel, SLC, UT,  April 2011

9. Manicures. I've been spending my hard earned cash on manicures at a nail salon since I can't even remember. It's just what I do. And yes, they usually assume I know their language, notevenjoking.  I'm obsessed. Here's a glimpse of my latest purchase: O.P.I. Elephantastic Pink pretty nails, for all my gangsters out there. Yep, this is what I do on my lunch break stuck in the closet that is the Speech Room. #getalife. p.s. thanks Momma and Fam for my V-day package with a little extra cash that contributed to my special V-day manicure. You're the bestttttttttt.  TREAT YO SELF 2012. 

I literally took maybe 30 Instagrams for like 10 minutes while eating popcorn alone waiting for my next student. Feel bad for me. 

10. Wednesday night smiles. I have gone to bed with the biggest smile on my face every single Wednesday night for like the past month. I can't deny it, Wednesdays are by far my favorite day of the week for 2012.

**Bonus Pics**

We at least have the decency to put Eva on a plate before we devour her at The Bachelor Club. We have manners after all!

Look at me making more cupcakes in 2012 than ever before in my life.  Cept these are good old fashioned Pillsbury from the box. Get over it! 

Everyone is waiting for the timing to be right. And we hope it's coming soon.

10 little Hannah things, v. I

(idea stolen from this cute blogger with the weirdest love story. go read it here)

1. The Bachelor Club
I started watching The Bachelor with Katie and her adorable married friends on Monday nights and it's been the best time of my life. I actually really think the show is stupid and pointless, but there's just something about watching a show about catty girls with other girls that's just super fun. We have our favorites and not so favorites and it's a blast talking through the whole show and eating delicious treats.
2. Best friends. Do I really need to expound on this? I seriously have the best friends in the entire universe and I love love love that I see them on a daily/weekly basis.  I think I'll just write a whole post dedicated just to them later this week. (Katie, this is me publicly thanking you for cleaning my room as a pre-birthday treat. SOML)
3. Infatuation. I don't typically write about my love life on this here blog because I believe if you desire to know such things,  then you ought to be at the level of face to face contact with me. Don't want any stalkers knowing more than they need to. But guys! I currently have the biggest crush I've ever had on a male person. And I also never exaggerate. He's the cutest. End of story.
4. BYU gift wrapping. Sometimes I want to spend at least $5 at the BYU bookstore just for the free gift wrapping. They always do such an amazing job and maybe I'm obsessed with beautifully wrapped presents. OBSESSED.

Me and Amanda with Cutest Birthday Present Ever, wrapped so lovingly by a BYU employee.  Please note that we are just basking in the sun like it's a perfect summer's day in the middle of January. 

5. Snow. Speaking of summer weather, I know that most everyone hates you and was so happy you took so long to appear, but I've been dying to see you all winter. I really appreciate all 4 distinct seasons, so I was getting kinda sad without you. You're definitely the worst to drive in, but so pretty to look at. Just please don't let me get in a slippery wreck like these guys.
6. Eva baby. She's Katie's offspring.  She's basically my goddaughter/niece. I love her. And we make twinsie faces when I babysit her. So duh, she's part of the list.

Scrunched eyebrow twinsies

7. Crafternoons. I suddenly have the urge to be more crafty this year. Stay tuned for more pictures and updates on this monthly goal.

Facebook repeat. How could I not? Look at that face. 

8. Crush. Did I already mention that boy I like? K. Cool.
9. Gold's Gym Body Challenge. Signed up for it. Got a new personal trainer. Eating more salad and carrots like it's my job. Be a little jealous. Or don't. But definitely try kickboxing because it might change your world.  (but just for the record, Treat Yo Self is my motto for the year, and so I'm def not passing up on white chocolate popcorn or Slab dinners every once and awhile)
10. And oh yeah, my Birthday. I'm 23 today, peeps. Get used to it.  Gonna make it my best year yet.
