the time i cheated on harry.

yes, i know i think i have the worst immune system ever. it's time i start taking a multi-vitamin or something? i had started to get a cold at the beginning of the week and it has progressively got worse. today i took off work so i could rest and hopefully get better. i feel worse than i did yesterday but hopefully (crossing my fingers) i can start to feel better over the weekend. so what have i been doing besides sleeping?

+how i met your mother marathon

+cheating on harry potter (whom i left at work) and started the hunger games

+ drinking jamba juice

+wrote a letter to my friend who's on her mission (who i met through blogging)

+keeping up on my meds

+editing pictures

+going through boxes of kleenex's

+facebook stalking

+and more how i met your mother watching

whats your favorite non sleeping activity to do while you're sick?

ps on a happy note, my birthday is in five months! woot woot.

wishing.

just got home from work and i think I'm getting sick.
all i want to do right now is lay in bed and watch a movie.
and read blogs.
is that so bad?
instead i will watch my online class videos.
and learn to be artsy. its just been a long day.

oh, and i missed bachelor pad.

but I've got priorities.
don't you love acting all grown up??

nighty night.

sicky

as i write this i am laying on my couch. 

i got a terrible cold this weekend. 

i think i have used more Kleenex's this weekend alone, 

then i have in the past six months. 

my nose is stuffy.

i can't breathe

i am coughing my little lungs out.

being sicky is no fun. 

but i decided to make the best out of it.

i'm going to read a good book.

watch my favorite movies.

write in my journal.

read the book of mormon.

and listen to the fireside i missed yesterday.

boy am i glad i did. 

it was just what i needed.

made me so happy.

you should watch it too!

"it is day by day that we work out our plans for the future."

"its one day at a time that we work out our imperfections"


"out of small things that proceeding which is great!"

i love the little things that make us have a whole different outlook on life, and our day :) this message brightened my not so good sick day. to a wonderful day. 

also i never posted the second recipe.

i made it up, so i will just explain in my best "recipe form" how to do it..

MOCK BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA

• chicken
• tortillas
• bbq sauce
• cheese
• green peppers
• tomatoes
• basil

clean and cube your chicken. cook on stove top. i put a little of bbq to taste. then place your tortillas on a sheet and put them in the oven {325} for about 1.5 min, flip them to the other side for 1.5 min. take out of oven. spread bbq sauce {to your liking} on each of the tortillas. sprinkle chicken, cheese, veggies, a little bbq sauce and basil. then bake for about 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and tortillas is crisp to your liking. 

{sorry that was terrible directions but i just kind of made this yummy recipe up!} 

it took about 20-30 minutes from preparation time to eating! i loaded mine with veggies and made it low cal so it was under 

300 calories! 

{sorry they're blurry, thank you cell phone!}

i know that i did not give amounts of the food. 
but just depending on how many you are making i would just eye it! i used about 6 oz of chicken to make three. and about 2 tablespoons of bbq sauce on each one! Just make it how you like it :)

happy monday everyone!!

flu

&

strep.

Not fun.

But, needless to say I am back!

and with pictures & random thoughts from the past few weeks.

Ash

1.Here is me being sick.

I watched one too many episodes of greys. <3>

2. I have had so many wonderful photo shoots lately, i srsly fall in love with the pictures. check out my photography blog to see everything, but i have to say my favorite part is getting clients announcements in the mail. its refreshing!! This is morg and i after her fabulous shoot! I love taking pics of friends :)

3.chillin at the 113 with the boys. i love when boys apts are clean. it makes me very very very happy.

we all got a little sick after. don't think i'll be returning.

5. i have totally mentioned THE CHOCOLATE before. well i heart ladies night. i mean you get free milk with your dessert. but its pretty sad when you walk in, they know your name and what you order. haha..dear chocolate, i think we need to break up. love ashley.

6..visited good ol THS to see Em's girls end of the year concert!..
it made me miss dancing like crazy, they were beautiful! My camera died before I could get a pic with Em.. :(

7..quality time with the bffe.. couldn't ask for a better best friend. Shes amazing. Everyone should have a best friend. We always joke around and say "You'll always be my Best Friend, you know TOO much!"

8. Received an email with this picture from my sis.. oh how i miss my Kar-bear! How beautiful is she!

8. i decided that i really don't like Spain. they took my husband for a few months. miss you case!

10. those of you are not faithful retainer wear-ers will know exactly what i'm talking about.. hadn't worn mine in over a year.. put them in the other night.. OUCH. but i WILL be wearing them now on. during the day when i have on my bottom one, please don't mistake me for a 13 yr old .. mm k? thanks!

11. Schools done for the semester. Very proud to say I only missed twice the WHOLE semester. That is a RECORD for me! yay! and they were both for legit reasons. one being my best friends growing up wedding, and the other i was puking. pretty legit if you ask me!

12. I forgot how much i love getting mail. not just any kind of mail, letters! when all my boys were on missions i got mail pretty much every week, if not every other. i got a letter from Kiersten aka Sister Morrison the other day.. it just made me happy!

13. soo loving my black nail polish right now. so fabo!

Okay, enough randomness for one day.

3 more..

Days! Until I can wear my contacts...
Can't even tell you how much I took wearing contacts for granted.
I owe whoever invented them a lot.
They make life so much easier.

until then me and the glasses will remain bff's.

On another note.. I am so thankful it is Thursday. The weekend is almost here-and it just makes me so happy.

Yesterday I busted out my old fat CD case & listened to a bunch of the music that I listened to in high school. It was fabulous. Highly recommend doing that. I had forgotten about so many classic songs that used to be my favorites.

also.

thought I'd share my quote of the week

♥ i don't know who invented high heels, but all women owe him a lot. -Marilyn Monroe

and.

my movie list that will be watched this weekend.

*sleepless in Seattle

(very v day appropriate)

*the notebook

*while you were sleeping

*500 days of summer

hope you all have a very ValentineSY weekend.

glasses.

Story time.

Me and my eye have not been getting along lately. She has not been good to me and has given me pink eye several times over the past 7 months. No bueno. It will start to go away and then come back. I have sanitized. Not worn makeup. Went to the doctor a handful of times. Tried drops. Etc. Finally the pink eye part went away and now my Right eye just looks lazy (boo.) and won't stop watering. And just hurts.

So Last week i went to the EYE doc. He said I had a really bad infection (i can't remember what he called it)-and that it was weird that it was only in the Right eye. He gave me drops that have steroids in them. (freaked me right out. My eye is going to be pretty toned!)

(at my visit-hey i get kinda bored waiting..)

Moral of the story. Me and my JLo glasses will be seeing a lot of you- So get excited.

xoxo

pink eye.

For some odd reason I have gotten pink eye a few times this year :(
not cool.
it's very gross.
Coop was nice enough to come visit me and bring me my favorite treats and some flowers the other week when i had it.
they were sooooO pretty :)



XOXO
