My roommates are the best roommates of all time. We had a dance party the other day where Emmy introduced me to the 'nae nae song'. Can you believe I'd never heard it? I know. Emmy has quite the moves too. Gentry was doing laundry, which is an event because she actually does it the right way. Cold, warm washes; darks, whites, color, reds. The works. It took a few hours, so Emmy and I stayed up with her jamming out and chatting. We got a little depressed at how ugly our living room was because we'd had FHE at a guys' apartment earlier and their apartment was amazing. Framed vinyl records, leather sofa, big-screen TV, Ikea spice holders, quotes. We were put to shame. So we decided to put up a bunch of pictures on our wall. It now holds Gentry's towing ticket, pictures, The Living Christ, Proclamation to the Family, my Broadway tickets, a map of San Francisco and more. It definitely cheers up the room. We are going to hang a banner thing up too so we can hang temporary photos as well and decorate it with twinkle lights. The couch is beyond helping. I think it would just be a travesty to put cute pillows on such an ugly couch. So maybe a trip to IKEA, fresh flowers and some framed artwork is all we need. Although, we're poor college students so that might take all semester. But hey, music and laughter is free! And as cheesy as that all sounds, it's all we need :)
I have some auditions coming up, so wish me luck on those. I think I might as well audition for anything and everything because it's such good experience and learning opportunity!
Also, new life plan. Go to Fall Semester 2016, graduate with an Associates in Dance, then go on a mission in the spring, come back, go to BYU and be on their Folk Dance Team. Let's see how long that plan lasts :)
Also- I need ideas for easy and cheap recipes. A girl can only eat so much oatmeal, yogurt and pizza. Merci et au revoir!

I love all your plans, and I love how you are continually reworking them as you evolve. Sounds great! Cheap food: toast and butter. I lived on it until I was 17, then had that year of gluttony in the dorms, then lived on rice and bacon for the next 3 years. Yummy!
ReplyDeleteLove your posts and your plans. It all sounds exciting. Here's a fast and easy recipe for you (and healthy / cheapish). Canned chicken... I know, it sounds disgusting, but it's actually okay. There are big and small cans. You add the rest of the ingredients based upon the amount of chicken. Sliced celery (super cheap), and plain or vanilla greek yogurt. Mix it all up and you have an easy chicken salad you can eat plain, on lettuce leaves, or on a roll. If you want to get tricky, you can add slivered almonds, craisins, or halved grapes - basically whatever you like.
ReplyDeleteAnother one is fish tacos. Buy a bag of frozen tilapia. That way you only have to cook what you want to use. Buy a package of small corn tortillas, a bag of shredded cabbage, an individualized size of plain greek yogurt (substitute for sour cream), and a bottle of lime juice. The tortillas and shredded cabbage last a while in the fridge. Broil the fish or microwave it, shred it on the tortillas, and add the cabbage, lime juice and yogurt. So good, low calorie, and pretty cheap.
Love ya. Keep the updates coming.
