finally!

after harrassing the eller undergrad office, my class to take at home this summer has been approved!

naturally, with my luck, it is never that easy.
so, i go to apply at the university of utah and it tells me i'm too late to register.

next step was to harrass the U's admissions office. haha, yes, i am my mother's daughter. i wrote a letter to the head hancho of admissions and called her twice a day. she told me what to do to apply and to turn it in asap.

i turned in all my paperwork, cash money, and a letter explaining why i want to kill myself in tucson.

ms. head hancho hasn't responded (memorial day weekend?), but regardless, i'm getting the hell out of this hot box!

my dad thinks it's a genius idea to drive the little green machine 12 hours to the 801.. um does he know me? and does he know my car? i am the most impatient, whiney, uncomfortable driving buddy (ask sups). he wants to "have father daughter bonding". gahhh it's going to be an adventure. but, i'm willing to suffer through the drive i promised myself i would never do to get away from tucson.

padre comes on friday after my test, i take my pictures for work, din din friday night, pool time saturday, work saturday night, and rise and shine sunday morning at 6 amm for the trek to slc.

THIS WEEK NEEDS TO GET HERE FASTER BEFORE I TAKE HOSTAGES/DO SOMETHING DRASTIC.

yup. xo.

fun facts

as i mentioned in my last post, i haven't really had anything cool to blog about. soooo, i decided to do some kylie-must-know facts. those who are already close to me probably already know all of these, but those who don't.. i'll try and humor you.

1. i'm blunt. if you don't want a straight up honest answer, don't ask for my opinion. i was always taught to say what's on my mind. if i think you're rude/don't like you, you'll know.

2. if you want to play me in words with friends there's a good chance i'll take a very long time to respond. but for the most part, i'll kick your boooooty.

3. i'm a cuddle monster. downskis to cuddle with anyone at any time.

4. when i'm in slc, i'm a home body. most nights i would rather stay in and kick my mom and phil's ass in rummy :) i was supposed to stay in tucson until mid to late july, but i can't. i'm going home next week! can't freeeeaking wait!

5. i'm a frequent sleep mode user. since i am usually holding down the granite solo, i have to have white noise in order to fall asleep and not get paranoid. i used to be the type of sleeper that had to sleep in COMPLETE darkness. funny how things change.

6. kortnie is the bestest friend in the whole world. she has been there for me for absolutely everything. she predicts my every move before it happens and laughs at the absurd comments i make when i'm frustrated. schloveeee her to the moon and back!

7. with my lack of motivation comes new activities. i have become addicted to 8 minute abs. maybe it's homeboys motivational words "come on gang!" "5 more gang." ha i'm a freak.

8. i don't and cannot do long distance relationships. this has most definitely been proven with a few relationships.

9. i want to go to greece sooooo bad! someone take me?

that's all.

where's my mojo?

apparently i've lost complete motivation for life lately. haha after i got a few "your blog sucks now" texts, i figured i'd post something.

lately i've seriously been in a weird funk.. maybe it's because it's summer time? but seriously thoughhhh, i neeeeeed my motivation back (in more places than just blogging)

exhibit A: Kylie going to the gym
um.. this has turned into a joke. i have class from 9-noon everyday and come home and lay out (aka MELLLLLT) then maybe some studying.. maybe the gym (whatever i'm feeling). but the real joke here is me actually going to the gym..
ha okay, i get to the gym (not wanting to be there) and get on the stairmaster.... 14-15 minutes go by... "alright, i'm bored". so i try the eliptical because they have tvs.. 15 minutes later.. (no eye candy to keep me entertained).. "yeah, over it."

GUYS!! this is not like me. my mom says "hey, at least it's something." but negative miss madre, we know it's not. i usually look forward to gettin my sweat on, but seriously i've lost my mojo. i'm going to start bikram when i go home, so hopefully that helps.

exhibit B: any night that isn't FUKU Fridays
since presession has started i've wanted to be a little hermit unless it is friday. yeah, lame/not like me attt all. actually, recently monday night karaoke at the dub has spiked my interest.

instead of being the social butterfly that i normally am, i finish my hw... take a bubble bath (i know, such a girl move), light some candles (i've gone through two large ones this week.. oops), have a large class of vino.. or two, and jam to some jack johnson or nora jones.
maybe it's because it's summer and real school is out so i'm relaxing? i honestly don't know.

exhibit C: me...tonight
i have an economics test tomorrow and i'm blogging. case in point, that should explain my motivation level. i have mmm maybe looked at his slides once.
in the words of britt "fuck it, it's presesh."
amen.

sorry for the lack of posts, i'll try and step my game up. my lack of motivation has resulted in nothing interesting to blog about :(

XO.

como?

1.

2.

3.

4.

some things i notice constantly at the arizona rec center that i just do not understand.

1. what the hell are these things? do they give you spidey powers or something? i seriously do notttt get these shoes. they are horrid.

2. attention u of a girls: these are equivalent to UNDERWEAR. we do not want to see your ass hanging out while you're on the eliptical. maybe you are trying to get some attention (barf), but it should be ILLEGAL for everyone except a victoria's secret model to wear these in public.

3. this is obviously a cuter picture of PDA because what i see at the gym makes me want to vom. why make out with your boyfriend/girlfriend at the gym? contain yourself for an hour until you are at home. thanks.

4. putting on a cake full of make up on pre-gym sesh. como? this is an infamous trend in arizona apparently. once again, a concept i do notttt understand.

xo.

airheadddd

okay guys, i've been on the struggle bus lately. i've been catching myself having several brain farts... i...

- seem to give people my cat card when they ask if i'm 21... error.

- keep finding myself wondering if i put conditioner in my hair after i shower. so, i always have to restart the shower and put conditioner in for the first/second? time.

- have become queeeeeeen of typing a text message and then thinking i sent it (iphone dilemma) and it fails and i just push the "P" button instead. everyone gets half of my texts after we have figured out whatever we were texting about. fail.

- continue to forget to turn on the air conditioner before i go to bed. let me tell you... i live in tucson (90ish degrees)... and i dieeee of heat when i sleep. i need to remember to turn it on!! derrr

eye opening weekend

sorry for the lack of blogging lately. i had a busyyy last week/weekend. alex came to play in scorching tucson and it was also graduation weekend! to say the least, it was a really fun weekend.

there's a few things i learned after this weekend:

1. i miss home so much. i miss my family, friends, and just utah all together. al brought a taste of home when she came to play this weekend, which made me miss it more.

2. alarm systems are frrrrrustrating. which brings me to #3 & #4...

3. i've learned who my real friends are. i've realized which friendships aren't worth the effort anymore. i learned, from an outside perspective, that i will be happier without the baggage.

4. i miss the spontaneousness of my friends from home. this weekend al and i spontaneously went to a hotel at 12:30 in the morning. huuugeee king bed and then laid out at the pool when we woke up. it was just what i needed.

5. bug spray is the only way to kill bugs. i know you guys have to remember me ranting about those damn little bugs that were in my bathroom. i tried two different types of bug traps and finally, this weekend, al and i went to home depot and got bug spray. no more bugs for meee :) :)

6. i was shown some pictures of my past... & it's lookin a little chub chub. it's surprising how much someone can let themselves go. i am confident that it has a lot to do with who you are surrounded by. wahh wahh.

7. watching all my favorite seniors graduate was bitter sweet. i can't wait to graduate, but at the same time i just want time to stop so i don't have to go into the real world. scarrrrry!

8. speaking of graduation, i am so sick of school. i want to be doneeee. i had a week off and start again tomorrow. i am so not ready for it. my brain is frieddd.

xo.

mama's day!

i really wish i was home today! ever since i started college i have missed mother's day because of finals. this year i am already done with finals, but of course, i'm staying in the dirty T for summer classes.

sooo inconvenient.

love you mom! wish i was home to spend today with you. xo.

this one is so true.

and this one just made me laugh pretty hard.

stage 5 vs. doucheyyy

let me preface that this post is coming from an annoyed/frustrated kylie.

so, i've come to the conclusion that the only single guys in this world (arizona) are stage fives and douche bags

stage five clingers:
you have no idea that you're creepy. you text... we don't respond. you call.. we don't answer. you text again... still no response. i think you get the cycle. you talk about your future wives (hi, we are only 21. go to utah if you want a wifey. [no offense]) girls want to run so far away from you because you're ready for little children and a picket fence like... tomorrow! no. not normal.
you're all weird.

douche bags:
now, you guys know you're tools. you're over confident (also known as COCKY) and generally good looking. mind games are your specialty. girls keep going back to you because you know how to get inside their brains and do gymnastics. girls have a love/hate relationship with you boys. you make girls want to pull their hair out.

that is all.

parental help ticket

so, i am constantly calling my parents for basically anything and everything. you name it. here are a few recent help tickets off the top of my head....

Mom:
"well how do i put the duvet cover back on the easy way?"
"how do i mince garlic?"
"alright, how do i cook that?" ("that" meaning just about anything)
"where can i find white wedges like right now?"

Phil:
"what do i need to kill aunts?"
"what does it mean if my computer screen just went blue?"
"how do i get skuffs off of leather shoes?"
"how do i cook...(fill in the blank)"
"mother's day ideas?"

Dad:
"dad, why is my key not coming out of the ignition?"
"there's some pole thing underneath my car thats connected to this other thing."
(dad's response: "kylie, a pole is not a car part" haha!)

what would i do without them?!

herrrrow heels!

Ahhh! Today I went to the doctor for my second check up since the unfortunate shoe-acide and IT'S FULLY HEALED!!

I can't even tell you how excited I was when he said I could do whatever I wanted.

Ky: "So I can wear heels?!"
Dr. P: "Yes... isn't that how you broke it?"

Ha ha! I'm pathetic, butttt I'm 5' 3" and my shoe collection is aware of that.

this is my heels to flat ratio:

It's about every 10 heels to 1 flat.
To say the least, it's frustrating to get dressed to go out
I'm back onto a heels obsession. I want them all.

xo.

Sleepy Struggles

I have alwayyyyys been a sucker for sleep. Daily naptime after school in highschool, constantly sleeping in, and easily falling asleep at night (no matter what time it was). But lately I've been on the sleep struggle bus.

I blame this on a few bad habits of mine:

Food Network, mainly Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. I always watch this (or any other Food Network show) at night. THIS IS SUCH A BAD IDEA!!! Guy Fiera is amazing and you all know how tasty the greasy food looks. Yep, makes me so hungry right before bed time, but i continue to do it!

Law and Order: SVU is my GUILTY PLEASURE! Naturally, it is always on tv from like 11 PM - around 1 AM. This is the worst idea to watch when you are home alone, or even just at night in general. My mind races after I watch this show, especially when I am trying to go to bed. Yet, it is so addicting. I have forced myself to only watch it in the day light (haha I'm a scaredy-cat)

As I mentioned before, I am NOT a morning person. Oversleeping messes with me trying to go to sleep at night. I need to put a mouse trap over my snooze button or something because that's what gets me into trouble in the mornings. I say I am going to get up at 9.... Yeah.. don't end up getting out of bed until 10:30.

SOLUTION!!!
finallllllly, I have found a solution (well my mom found it and sent it to me)

MELATONIN!!!
also known as god's gift to the world.
this magical vitamin/herb has saved my life. I didn't want to take a sleeping PILL, so my mom sent me a bottle of Melatonin and said that Phil and Heston swear by it. It seriously puts me to sleep like a little baby.

No more 3 am nights just staring at the tv/tossing & turning!
yippppeeee!

squeeeeaky clean!

thankkkk you land lords for including a house cleaner in our monthly rent. we keep this house pretty clean, but with the granite floors it is a challenge. the house cleaners came today & saved the day! the granite has been the happening place over the past two weeks.

i fostered 4 boys for 4 days... loved them, but things got a bit messy.

senior wills & awards was on tuesday. this is basically when the senior kappas pass down funny awards they've received over the years. each award comes with a little bottle of wine or some sort of alcoholic beverage. this event it open to all of the members, so there were a lotttt of girls crammed into our little courtyard/house. how about you beauuuuutiful seniors don't graduate.. thanks.

andddd friday night was bar golf. the pregame/where the buses picked us up was... at the granite haha. everyone mainly stayed in the court yard and back house. it was a really fun night! it was much needed after my week from hell.

had soo much fun with these boys!

stop number 1..

just some roomie love.

nowww my house smells so clean & lemonyyy
:)
