a great frickin' day

Today was awesome!

Usually I spend Saturdays sleeping in (trying to catch up on the sleep I lose during the week) and being lazy around the house but this weekend I wanted to do something different. Something more. Something...fun. Here's what I ended up doing:

*Woke up at 6am to go to a ward service project at the temple. We helped rake out and mulch the flower beds around the front of the temple. It was fun. Yea for the temple! And yea for service!

*Went to breakfast with everyone from my ward that came to the service project. We went to IHOP and can I just say that I'm pretty sure breakfast is my most favorite meal of the day. See, they have these new pancakes there--Kansas Carrot Cake pancakes. Seriously thought I was in heaven they were so good. Then add in a couple of scrambled eggs, some bacon and hashbrowns (P.S., remember how hashbrowns are one of my weaknesses?) and you've got one totally awesome breakfast. Plus it was fun talking and laughing with everyone.

*Came home and took a shower. I bought some new body wash at Bath and Body Works last weekend: Midnight Pomegranate. Yeah, it's my new favorite. It makes me happy :)

*Went to the mall to A-return a bra that I bought last week at Victoria Secret and which broke (sad day) and B-buy some new work shirts and something cute to wear when I'm in San Diego next month. (You may be asking yourself..."self, how does she have the money to do this?" The answer: my economic stimulus check. Thank you President Bush. Now if you could just do something about the price of gas...) I returned the defective bra, bought 4 new shirts, a pair of shoes, and two new bras. It was a successful shopping trip.

*Came home and watched the season premier of America's Best Dance Crew. I started watching that show last season because one of the judges is a boy I've been in "L" with since...oh...high school. The one and only, Mr. Hottie himself, JC Chasez (from N SYNC). I love him. He makes me happy (like carrot cake pancakes...only different). But the dance crews this season are REALLY GOOD! It's going to be a good season.

*Went to see "Kung Fu Panda" with my roommie Elaina. It was funny, but if you are wanting to see it I suggest waiting to see it in the dollar theatre.

Can't wait to see what happens next weekend!
