A is for the air I breathe

Hello kiddies! It was a beautiful morning and I had a great day! Rachel and I both had trouble getting out of bed for our run but we were eating pavement by 6am. We both felt like God was rewarding us with a beautiful sunrise this morning, did you see it? Pink and blue sky. As you know, pink is one of my favorite colors! Actually, my three favorites are debutante pink, kelly green and tiffany blue. Soft and subtle.

And now, for your vieiwing pleasure, I have provided pictures from my iphone! I want to incorporate more photos on my blog, so I decided to dump a whole bunch at once.

This is me today! Well hello you! Sometimes I take random pictures of myself. It makes me laugh.

Ryan and I were perusing town one afternoon. Toasters, check. Little America Hotel, check. Steve Harris Imports, double check!! We went to the back of the compound where we met up with one of Ryan's friends who is in charge of the body shop. That's when we were introduced to Richard Loosee who opened his door for me and told me to get in. I would never argue with a man of that stature. Find his story here about his Ferrari Enzo. Sick, sick, sick. This is just one of two he had there. There other was hand picked from his recent trip

I really am a dork. This is me on a Saturday morning run in downtown. I am rocking the fanny pack I asked my mom for. Thanks mommy! We used to park near the farmer's market, run, and be back right when they opened at 8am. Good times!

Serra took my picture and then I sketched it and this is it! Yes, I did have that mustache for real reals.

Gum wrapper nails. They remind me of the nails I used to pay with as a kid. Plus this shows you just how weird I am and the simple enjoyment I get out of ordinary things.

Solitude and Brighton resorts with Ryan in his new VW Jetta wagon listening to XM radio- YES!! I need a banging camera so I can explore photography more. I am biased but I think I take rad pictures. Love how this picture is in motion and the Solitude bird on the sign looks like he is too. His name is Jonesy.

This is near my town of SLC! Funny, I didn't know this picture was from 2008! Looks more like the 90s...

My nails today. Lauren gave me this nail polish, what a nice friend! The color makes me happy.

Jamba Juice from Lance one morning. I was starving and this was a perfect breakfast treat! Did you know my first job was working at Jamba and my sister's was working at Zuka before Jamba bought them? Yes, she is one of my idols and I love to copy her. And yes those are my real eyelashes.

Shopping with my sister on Tuesday and I come across this beauty. Then I look at the pricetag. Instant anger fills my heart where there was a special space saved for this purse. $200. Fossil, I love you, but not that much.

Sometimes I take pictures of myself making goofy faces and the elevators at work have giant mirrors for my entertainment (just like the picture of me today). This is me yesterday as I am eating a bag of apple slices. I call this piece, elevator with apples. Touching and precious.

Tim Mcgraw or REAL game? Tough decision but I think I chose the better of the 2 because I don't like country that much but I do like sweaty guys working their stuff for my enjoyment. In case you are confused, not THESE sweaty guys... Ryan told me about the drum circle they do @ half time. What? Surprised I had been to games before but had not witnessed this phenomenon. Think loud, obnoxious guys and you've got the picture. Pure awesomeness!

Thank you to my old and dear friend Court for fulfilling my secret fantasy to hear Goo Goo Dolls and Michelle Branch play. Deer Valley in PC was beautiful and serene (which I had to look up how to spell that because my middle name is sarene, hehe).

A study I did of a piece from Mary Blair. She is one of my favorite artists! She worked for Disney and one of her most popular pieces is, It's a Small World. I love line width and with her simple designs, line width comes into play a lot. This piece is painted in watercolors and it's one of my favorites. Watercolors are my preferred choice of medium.

Cut paper churches, an Amy original! You can't set it in this picture very well but in the middle there is a cabaret with neon lights.

Yummy! Dessert from Trio with my sister last night!! If you want to make me happy and you want to talk with me for a while, bring me here. Now.

My favorite perfume I have right now. Kyle got this for me for Christmas. I love perfume. My mom couldn't handle the intense fragrances so I was deprived of wearing them until college. Now I have a bucket of different ones. Literally they are in a bucket.

I didn't take this photo but I should have. I love everything Alice. I may name give my daughter that middle name or something.

And there you have it! Recent photos from my iphone. Did you enjoy? Totally random!

Well now I am off to enjoy dinner with my sister, John (Cindy's former husband) and John and Cindy's two girls. I love Spaghetti Factory but I love being with those who I love even more. Lots of love lol

Amy xoxo

"My Paper Heart"

by The All-American Rejects

Please just don't play with me
My paper heart will bleed
This wait for destiny won't do
Be with me please I beseech you
Simple things, that make you run away
Catch you if I can

Tears fall, down your face
The taste, is something new
Something that
I know moving on is,
Easiest when I am around you.

So bottle up old love,
And throw it out to sea,
Watch it away as you cry
A year has passed
The seasons go

Please just don't play with me
My paper heart will bleed
This wait for destiny won't do
Be with me please I beseech you
Simple things, that make you run away
Catch you if I can

Waiting, day to day it goes through
My lips, are sealed for her
My tongue is,
Tied to, a dream of being with you
To settle for less, is not what I prefer

So bottle up old love,
And throw it out to sea,
Watch it away as you cry
A year has passed
The seasons go

Please just don't play with me
My paper heart will bleed
This wait for destiny won't do
Be with me please I beseech you
Simple things, that make you run away
Catch you if I can

Summer time, the nights are so long
The leaves fall down,
and so do I into the arms of a friend
Winter nights
My bedside is cold, for I am gone
And spring blossoms you to me

Summer time, the nights they are so long
The leaves fall down,
and so do I into the arms of a friend
Winter nights
My bedside is cold, for I am gone
And spring blossoms you to me

P.S. It sucks sleeping alone.
