Dear Lizzie Boutique & Bistro

10953 Alpine Highway

Alpine, Utah.

I have fallen in love with this store. it is the ultimate girl parlor with everything from fashionable fifties wear to trendy headbands and tasty treats. On Saturday my mom and I had a rare few minutes (before a brothers football game) to have some girl time. So, we just had to stop by. while we got ideas for room decor, and craft endeavors we treated ourselves to one of the best lunches I have ever had. Sid tagged along and we split the soup and turkey avacado sub. It was a bite out of heaven, or in the soups case, a slurp. We couldn't have finished it off better than the red velvet cake did. I probably shouldn't have had any because now I am just craving it.

But at the actual store we got so many good ideas for how we could make our own jewelry or cute clothes to look out for. It was quite ridiculously priced for a teenager like me, but when you find that perfect thing, you just gotta have it no matter the cost. Everything was so unique I can't wait to go back! I would reccommend a stop by, next time you are in alpine! You won't regret it!

hey. lets go to homecoming.

My night turned out really nicely. We started out with the most fun day date I have ever been on. We decided to brave the unknown, Utah Lake, and embark on a tubing adventure. There were two tubes going at once. So as we had tube wars, tube jumped and tried to see how many people we could possibly squeeze onto one tube, I had the best time of my life.

Next up, the dance. Cole picked me up and we headed over to Hayden's grandmothers. Where we had a fine dinner prepared by Jake's parents. The dinner was the spitting image of a Tucanos meal, and tasted better. It was delicious. Then we headed out to the dance that I had slaved over the night before. It turned out better then I thought it would. The lights gave it somewhat of a "movie" effect. While the dragon was somewhat hidden in the shadows. (Which is what I wanted. ) I had arranged with my aunt to create a dragon cake. As shown above, it turned out great. It was a hit. Along with the fortune cookies that praised your date, or warned you of falling laterns. The night turned out to be a success!

homecoming= student council's "hell week."

You may have heard this expression used before with football, swimming or soccer. Right now for the student council members, we are experiencing those same feelings but in a very different way. Your fellow peers judge you on your performance, not only the coach. Instead of running from line to line we are hustling from hall to hall or school to wal-mart for our last minute necessities. As many of you may know, it is homecoming week at the high school. A student council members, worst nightmare.
We have gotten through half the week fairly well. Here is an evaluation of our weekly duties:
Homecoming pageant: This event turned out phenominal. The stage decorations looked like they could have been done by a proffessional. I sat out in the audience, and I personally enjoyed it. I don't know about every one else, but I thought it was a success. The skits were entertaining and the winners were adorable everyday high school students.
Homecoming pep rally: now i don' t think this one went quite as well, though it did turn out to be a fun break from class. Watching the football players flirtatiously hug thier mothers was brilliant. As for the competitions.. I think we could have brought a little more 'pep' into our rally. But everything is a learning experience.
Now, today (friday) I am under the gun. I signed up to be a part of the dance committee. As a result I am not planning on going home until close to one o'clock in the morning. Horrid i know. but someone has to do it. I am hoping and praying that I can cross the finish line, with out making a fool out of myself. Wish me luck.

what a weekend.

the game.
pleasant grove vs. hillcrest. It was a slaughter. 48-10. All hail!
we [the student council] also had dinner with hillcrest student council. It was really nice. I enjoy them.

robin.


the long awaited, robin hood season 3 episode one was shown on saturday at 7 sharp. A group of us got together to watch the riveting tale of thieves and outlaws. There is a total new twist and i am thrilled for it to start again. So, from 7-8 of every saturday, is now scheduled.

movie review.

name: 9.

rated: PG-13.

characters: freakish puppets, with human traits.

point/plot: none whatsoever.

This was literally on my top ten strange movie lists. I would not reccomend it, at all. The entire film I kept thinking to myself, "it is going to tie in", "there has got to be a reason they are doing this." I was horribly wrong. It was soo strange. Though, the night was still fun because I enjoyed my company. Here is my summary of the movie:

Puppets who are nine pieces of a scientists soul, are all the humanity left on earth. Due to a machine that turned on us and apparently destroyed everything and everyone. The machine sucks the poor puppets beings, quite grotesquely, out of them through a green orb in its underside. By the end of the fight there are only five left when 9 figures out how to destroy it. 1 sacrifices himself and 9 defeats the machine while saving the... beings of the other five. The beings come out of the orb, float into the air and are "free" THE END.

Strange?? I would say so.

toilet paper.

After the movie I went on my merry way home. I pulled up, and there was toilet paper strewn across my lawn and trees. good one guys. I didn't mind, but decided to leave it until morning to pick up. I guess that a policeman showed up at our door at four o'clock in the morning inquiring about "criminal mischief"? haha i chuckled at that one. When has toilet paper ever hurt anyone? and when has toilet paper had the importance of a knock at the door at four in the morning? My dad thought some family member had died. Bah! I still haven't found out who did it, though, i don't care. Ha, i just got a good laugh then, cleaned it up in the morning.

13 down. 13 to go.

This, my friends, is the legendary Robin of Locksley. The Poor mans Champion, Outlaw of Sherwood Forest... my future husband. Only joking, he is Marion's. They were made for eachother. This is THE Robin hood. Not your ordinary Disney fox or strange man with womens clothing, no. He is legit.

I am not the TV watching type. I would much rather be on the computer, or working on something that actually... accomplishes something. Therefore, I have never stuck with a TV series. True, all except for this one. BBC America has put on a show to remember, a thrilling drama where there is good against evil. Truth and justice against malicious want for power. the characters in this series are phenominal, and the clever storyline fits right in. I am hopelessly obsessed with it. You would be too, after watching just one episode.

That exactly is why I almost cried with joy when I heard the news. SEASON THREE BABY. Starting date: September 12th. Because of my passionate love for Robin and his gang my parents have gotten both seasons for me on DVD for two consecutive Christmases. Now they are coming in handy to prepare myself for the thrills to come. i have just finished the 13 episodes of the first season.. in four days. (I promise.. I do have a life.) now onto season two, and at this pace, i will be ready with plenty of time to spare!

just pondering.

though, i know that a home is quite a while in my future, i have been thinking about it alot because my family is considering a possible move. of course we would stay close and i would go to the same school, so i am super excited about it. this has led me to pondering over what my dream house would be. what the key elements are when i am looking for a house of my ow

the outside would look something like this. (i think this house might even be in pleasant grove?? i got it off google.. sorry if it is your house! ha!) i love stone on the outside of a house. really nice.

i would need a really big backyard, because that is what i have grown up with and as a kid i loved having the backyard to go out and play in during the summer. and i know my mom loved it too, because she knew of our whereabouts.

a few other key points would be a basement. (that is my only request to my parents in their quest for a new house.) i want somewhere that i can go with my friends, to not disturb the family. a kitchenette downstairs and a theater room would be ideal. and i would be really picky about the kitchen, the wood has to be a dark stain with silver appliances. and black handles. i want a big living room, where family can gather and watch the game. so far away.. but it is fun to think about!

who comes up with these?

i often wonder how people in the old days used to eat their fast food. i find it so enjoyable to sit and eat food, just for the opportunity that you have to read the packets, wrappers and kids meal bags. how do they even think of this kind of thing? the real question is, do people get paid for it? wouldn't that be the easiest job known to man? "today at work we are... thinking of funny things that hot sauce packets would say if they were living."
how idiotic can you get. a waterbed. cute. and, do people even get fired from that job? how can you? "try me on your burrito. i am hot." oh come on! you can be more creative than that! you are outta here. go try wendys. do people aspire to become one of these people? like you are sitting in a fast food restaurant when suddenly it hits you that you are supposed to be one of the select few that make up sayings to put on your big mac wrappers? i mean come on people.
one of the many reasons, to get good grades in school.
