it's all about the lipgloss

today, was a really great day. you know what made it great? well.... i didnt fall in love, i didnt win the lotto, and i didnt go see a taping of oprah or ellen (though all three of those things would make a super great day *happy face*) it was just an ordinary day with a last minute phone call and drive to see my cousins that made this day great. miss hailey blaine (in true element pictured above) and me went to the mall. we talked. we shopped. we gossiped. and we each bought new shades of lipgloss from mac makeup. in which that qualifies as a great day.
thank you hailey bay for being one of the most truly unique, beautiful souls that this earth has.

simply pictures {weekend style}

my weekend was spent doing a little of this. a little of that.
but my favorite part was making this...



and turned it into this....



whatever you did this weekend, I hope it was lovely!

Email to the Girls AKA the story of the "weekend"

ATTENTION dear readers: since I'm still couching up a lung and do not feel like writing the story of me and my new fellow and making it all blog worthy fun to read....You'll just have to read the massive email I sent this past Monday to my cousins alexa and carrie via facebook. honestly it's pretty cheesy and long writing if you ask me but, it will just have to do. please take notice that it was written super fast so they would get it before i had left for work that day.

Another side note is to know that i work at our local hospital and I'm a dietitian's assistant. so i'm around a lot of our cooks and chefs for the department. Okay, carry on as I go take my meds and proceed to be knocked out again LOL


GIRLS!!!! Okay. this is going to be long so here goes....

for the past 5 months there is this guy at my work that was hired that i have had a crush on. his name is Chase and he is a chef. well, we've sorta been doing this...he's looking at me, im looking at him but neither of us are saying anything that we might like each other. just a lot of moments where i could feel him watching me and me always looking at the schedule to see if he might be working the same nights as me. but really, nothing had ever happened and we were constantly on opposite shifts so i would just let it slide.....

i really cant explain it well but something changed majorly this weekend. I went into work on friday and saw that for once we would be working the same shift that night and would be working kinda close around the other... and so we actually got to talk a lot more. to know Chase is to know that he's very quiet. he's not one to start the conversation and he's kinda serious. he's the type that he just does his job and stay's out of any drama that is always going on with somebody at the hospital. but to me, we've always talked or flirted LOL in those sarcastic yet not mean flirting ways :)

So, again friday, I could just feel that things were different. we were talking longer and i was def. wondering if just maybe....maybe he might be feeling something too. so, sat. i worked (dieing while in the process from this wretched crud but no more sick leave for tierra so i had to carry through!!!!!) and he was not there. but when i came in on sunday...there he was. so, i of course went up to him and was kinda flirting (looking absolutely HORRID, alexa, you would be ashamed *sad face*) and asked him what in the world was he doing there on his weekend off.

his reply...."because your here tonight"

insert tierra blushing and grinning really goofy like and trying to brush it off by saying "oh yeah right,...seriously, did some one call in and they called you?"

he said " well yes actually but when they called, I asked who would be working that night and if you were on the schedule and they said yes, so i agreed to come on in"

insert tierra completely red faced again and not sure what to say to that...
I think i just laughed and tried to keep insisting that he was joking.

After that, i went right up to my supervisor and before i could even start talking she said "dont even ask. yep it's completely true"

i said "how do you know what i'm going to ask" and which she points to my very flushed face and big grin and said that indeed, when she called Chase that morning, he had asked if i was on the schedule and would come in for that.

my brain at that point was just, well, not working!!!
also to note that i have been pretty sick lately so i was not really feeling that well and Chase could tell, he was always asking if there was anything he needed to get for me and asking if i was okay.

when it got to be about 5:50 pm, i noticed he was cleaning up his work area and he wasn't suppose to go home until 6:30, so i asked what he was doing. he said that since they called him in, he came early and had to leave by 6 so not to get any extra over time.

i have to admit, i was pretty bummed :( so, we started talking for just bit and i was telling him how it would be my luck that after he leaves, a bunch of orders from patients will be printed and that i would have to be the one to fill them ( im used to that but i was just teasing)....

so, he just kinda laughed and we both went back to work. then around 6:15, i noticed he hadn't left yet and so i told him he was past his time and that i didn't want him to get in to trouble.
he said that he had decided to go a head and stay till 6:30 just in case we had anymore orders cause i wasnt feeling well and he didnt want me to do them by myself.

i was completely flattered by then but i told him he really shouldnt stay because we get lectured a lot in my department if we go over out time....

that's when he said that he had already clocked out at 6.

ALEXA!! CARRIE!! he stayed pretty much a whole hour and worked while i was the one still on the clock and just stood there and talked while he was not getting paid!!!

well, after he finally left, i couldnt concentrate at. all!!!!!

theres lots more to tell but you'll just have to call me :)
I have no clue what this means LOL but i guess will see...

Scarlett Red

I adore Scarlett O'Hara. truly, I do. when I was little, I can remember the first time i ever watched Gone with the Wind. to me, it was so full color. lot's of color. i mean, me, being probably about 7 or so and not really taking in what the film was about, i just saw all the gorgeous dresses in different colors and wishing i had some like them to play dress up in or at least my barbies. then about 12 i saw it again on tv with my mom and i really took in the story.

now. yes, alas... to those who have seen it, Scarlett is a complete B$%^&! LOL in the most fashionable way of course. but, lets be honest here. Scarlett takes care of business. she completely takes control of her life and sets out to do exactly what she sets out to do! even if it's the wrong thing, she at least sees it through. and then there's Rhett Butler! LAH dont even get me going on how men are just not made like that any more!

Okay, so my point.

my life right now is a big basket case of ridiculous, cheesy, grinning like a fool, heart racing, can't sleep, can't read (GASP, I know right?) can't even really think straight of emotions(!!!)----> all because of this past weekend.

yep. that's right. this weekend, things have changed. and with that, here i sit, wishing i had just an ounce of power and control that scarlett had....all because tierra has a new guy in her life. (SQUEEEEEE)

well, dear readers, do you want the story? like, really?

truly? as in, you'll actually read the story of "us"???

well, you'll just have to tune in later to find out!

(i know, i'm cruel) (but i'm still getting over this bronchitis crud and i just took my meds and it's getting ready to knock me out)

PS. when ever i see him, i turn Scarlett red! It's annoying as heck but what can you do, right?

this quote sums up my life for the moment

Next to being married, a girl likes to be crossed in love a little now and then.
It is something to think of, and gives her a sort of distinction among her companions.
. Pride & Prejudice

just some thoughts...

{lemons for some reason make me think of "fresh starts". even though my life is good, every once in a while, i get in itch for changes. something new. fresh. and to me that says lemons}

today. well...it started off rough. meaning aka that not so wanted "monthly friend" decided to make an appearance. i don't like this guest. and it's certainly not my friend. alas, i must endure.

my summer this year has being going pretty blah lately. you see, i work. at a hospital. and with that, i work a lot. my friends and i make tons of plans to go places but it always fall through.

sometimes I think about my blog and i wish i had the heart to just delete and start a new. i like fresh starts. with a nice clean slate. i look back at some of my older posts and i just can't stand them. hence the "let's start a new". i really want a "new look" but i'm to busy to sit and make one.

this post is really whiny. oooh i guess i should turn this around. okay. some of my other fellow bloggers list what their thankful for at the end of there post. so for me, today....I'm thankful for my aunt Carolyn. for all that she does. i'm also thankful for toilet paper. i mean, really. where would the world be with out it? let's not go there lol. i'm also thankful for air conditioning. this July heat/humidity is awful! i'm also thankful for books. really people, the keep me comforted like an old song.

Its. That. TIME.

I know I've been absent from m own blog. I have pictures to show from my Utah trip. Feelings to write down on how my so called life is at the moment. BUT. HOLD THE PHONE PEOPLE! ECLIPSE came out and I've already seen it twice! Yep. Thats right, life on my Tuesday day sent me to the theater at 4:oo pm to begin my wait for the midnight showing of Eclipse.
Remember folks, I. AM. DEDICATED to this series. End of Story.
(sidenote-I had EXCELLENT seats with my group, dead center, up high....HOWEVER there were people who had been there since 1:30 that day! Just so you know LOL)

IT ROCKED my world people and can I just say how proud I am of Kristen and Rob for portraying the truest form of Edward and Bella as of yet on the big screen? I LOVED IT!
Insanely ADORED the engagement scene. I LOVED the music and it rocked my world people...

Of All the Good Things In this Life....

The Birthday Stud

Today, was this beastly stud's 24th birthday {sighs} and he also happened to be on Oprah.



And I may or may not have screamed like a 13 yr. old teenager when I finally came home tonight and watched it. Praise DVR! Praise indeed! I thought Kristen Steward was lovely. Taylor and the abs...well, giggles. And then Rob, He was SO FUNNY. I loved the whole "Kristen's Pregnant" line. LOL. I'm going tomorrow to start the whole design invite process with the company who did them for me last year for Eclipse. Squeeeeee!



PS. (cough) TEAM EDWARD!
PSS. TEAM EDWARD ALL THE WAY. HardCore Baby!
PSSS. 45 days till Eclipse people. FYI.

All my Bags are Packed, I'm ready to go....Sorta

I ask you, How in the WORLD do you pack two weeks worth of stuff (clothes,dress clothes, shoes, books, coat, toiletries, wedding gift, etc) in a 50 pound weight limit? Stress fully, that's how!

I'm leaving Early and I do mean freakin early Tuesday morning to make my flight and I'm starting that shopping/packing/your life in a suitcase frenzy. I LOVE IT! Call me weird but I get a kick out of packing...It means I'm going somewhere. Soon Utah, Very soon I shall see you.

And I was like Baby, Baby, Baby ...

(head is hanging in embarrassment)....ladies & gents. I have unfortunately succumb to bieber fever. well. not HUGELY. but, I found myself today buying these two songs on itunes today and I've been jamming all day. (head is MAJORLY hiding in embarrassment LOL) don't even ask me how this happened because i have no clue.

....a Dress for Me

After searching and searching, I FINALLY found a dress to wear to my Friends wedding in Utah coming up in two weeks. It is completely 1000% different then what I had in mind. However. I saw this and just kept going back to it over and over. I wanted something dressy but not over dressy or to stand out-ish. Something springy/summer but yet I could wear at night. Can I just say that I adore it?!!! I'm paring it with some tall, tan, Jessica Simpson Heels (go figure LOL) and a light gray cardigan. I'm SO excited for this wedding, You have NO idea.

Mothers Day

"If I were asked to name the Worlds greatest need, I
should say unhesitatingly wise Mothers; and the second, Exemplary Fathers."
President David O. Mckay

Mothers day is not really as hard on me as you would think. In fact, it's not hard at all. Really.

Growing up with a large family always coming over to celebrate when my grandmother was alive, I have always saw mothers day as a day to remember my grandmother. Not that I never did the "mom"thing with my own mom but, We have such a large family, it was always about everyone and cousins coming over to visit/celebrate with my grandmother. Nannie as we all called her. I miss her. But, however yesterday was a nice day. The sun was out, and I awoke feeling VERY lucky to have a strong Aunt Carolyn {whom I live with} that is mama number 2. She is So sweet and genuine and deserves the world. And I thank Heavenly Father for her and pray for her constantly.

Add a Splash of Color

The other night, I decided to get creative in the most easiest of forms. So, I copied my friend Jenn's idea and made rainbow cupcakes. VERY easy, yet a little time consuming. Just take white cake mix mixed up and pour batter into four separate bowls. Add as much or little food coloring to your liking in different colors. Line a cup cake pan with white cup liners and then start the process of spooning small amount of each color into cup cake liners. This will take a little while... and then bake as directed. Ta-Dah! Genius! I plan on doing this for my nephew in Star War colors this summer...So, Just relax and a have a cup cake I say!

this is what it's truly about

today, it was about feeling sorry for myself. for pains in my feet and depression. it was about missing my sweet cousins and wishing they understood as I do about the gospel. it was about sunshine and trying to push through. a wal-mart run and life panicking over this weeks Relief Society activity. ....and then I saw this and cried. i know who i am. and with that, everything becomes okay.

All the good things...

When I saw this, It made my day so much better. Every now and then I'll watch it again just to lift me up. To prove and show that there is still so much good in this world. Still beautiful moments with beautiful faces. Oh to see and believe as a child does.

thoughts, thoughts, and to much thinking

Tonight, I have a million things running through my mind. Which, A. is a bad thing. Which, B. is annoying as heck. Which, C. is a REALLY bad thing. I'm coming to Utah in just a little bit shy of two weeks. I honestly do not know if it's the right thing to do. I mean at least the first week, I'll be there for my friends wedding and I wouldnt miss it for the world but really...the second week? I just don't know. People have been saying it's nerves and worrying about flying. SO not true. I love to travel and I have been on dozens of trips without a single family member around and that's just not it. The flying part, Are you kidding me? I can't wait to fly! Now that's exciting. ---So small town girl right?--I just can't put my finger on it but I just don't have a good feeling about this. Not really a bad feeling. But not a great one either. I just keep thinking of all the other things I could be doing/using my money with. Things I really should be using it for. Like School. A car. Anywho, the ticket's bought and that's that. And if I hear one more time "maybe you'll meet someone"...I'm going to say a really bad word (maybe a few) that i'm sure my bishop wouldnt want me to be saying or my mother for that matter.

Speaking of my mother, this Sunday will mark the third year. Three blasted whole years since I heard her voice. That's all I'm gonna say about that. Then when I switch to something Else, I think about children. A husband. My own home. And what/where will I be at in the next 5 years of my life. Now, I forewarn you all DO NOT blow up my inbox of notes that my time will come. I have a right to my own pity party every now and then, when it comes to matters of the heart. Or lack there of, I should say. Then there are friends. At 24 turning 25 in November I have finally started to realize that you just can't charm them all. As in, not everybody is going to like you. Or you like them. I've come to see those who I want to be my friend and those I do not. In this world, were all trying. Trying for life. Happiness. And if you can't be my friend and except the good and the bad both ways, then I have no need for you to string me along. I am who I am. I'm still learning. Still trying. And if you can't or don't like the way I am, them I don't want you in my life either. I'm truly seeing my friends for who and what they are.... that's for sure.

Oh. It's midnight. The trash needs to be taken out and then off to bed and my book I'm reading.

Knowing me, I'll just end up thinking some more....Don't you just wish we had an off button sometimes?

ladies...You need this

Found this lovely organizing gem at Target today. Only $12.99. I'm SO into organizing lately.
I can't wait to post pictures of my bathroom. We remodeled a little and did a complete makeover. For a hint, the walls are Gray, "London Coach Gray". Oh, how I LOVE the color gray. PS. Tonight was Glee night, It made me happy!

SVU... and The Baseball Stud

A few weeks ago, I mentioned how my family and I went to visit my cousin Skyler who plays for the SVU college baseball team. Did I mention how beautiful the school is? It was an amazing sunny day and all day long we just sat and watched baseball. Bliss (Not to mention but me and a girl-friend I brought along stared at my cousin's hot & single baseball coach and his buns the whole day LOL) ...I mean I watched the game.....Ahem. Anywho, meet my studly SINGLE cousin Skyler. He's an outstanding baseball player.

To Live in that Era....

This suddenly jumped into my shopping cart tonight at Target.

Hmmm...I wonder who would have done that? Oh well. I love them for it anyway.

Have you seen it yet? No? Well you should. So says little ol' me. It's not only sweet but it's beautiful to watch. The costumes. The Palaces. I would give anything to speak with a British accent. Sigh.

Tonight, I'm off to clean my kitchen and then retire with this. Thanks again to whom ever it was that placed this in my shopping cart. XOXOXO
