my new OBSESSION!

So...Lauren taught me this little trick =] I know that you all (well most of you, i'm sure) love to get on to blogspot and go down your whole list to see who has a new update...maybe even several times a day? haha. Well....I DID! Maybe alot of you already know this, but i didn't, and it saves you alot of time and effort! ha. So i got a Gmail account just for this. This is what you do: (hopefully i got it right)
1. Get a Gmail account, if you don't already have one.
2. Sign in, and on the top left hand side it will say "Reader". Push that.
3. It will open up a new window for you and on the bottom left hand side it will say "+ Add Subscription". Push that.
4. Then you go down all your list (this is where it takes a while) and find their URL for their site and put it in the box and push "add". (and if you ever add a new blogger you have to go back and add their URL)
5. When you are all done with your list you should have everyones blog listed under there and you can just go back to "Reader" every day and the people who have new posts will be highlighted.

Anyone who already knows how to do this...did i explain it right? haha. Well i thought i would let you in on my new obsession with blogspot! I LOVE IT!

RING RING...

YES...that was me coming through on my NEW BIKE!!!! yay! It is a pink roxie schwinn beach cruiser...and it is so cute! I am excited because we are going to the beach tomorrow and riding our bikes, since matt and jonni also have new beach cruisers. We are going for a bike ride and then laying out and swimming...and then coming home and having a bar-b-q! So tomorrow should be a fun day!! =]

la-de-da-da!!!

first:

OUR POOL...

So last year my family bought an above the ground pool to put up, since we don't have a pool and it gets so dang hot in California. Me and Ally weren't here all summer last year, but we came for a few weeks and spent alot of time in that pool. So i was looking forward to puting up it up again this year. We really wanted to put it up in our backyard, this year, but once again our father said "NO!" So grandma's house it was again! We finished puting it up on Saturday and today was the first day we got to enjoy it. Let me just say, it was so dang nice!!! I love being out in the pool and getting some nice color! Hopefully by the end of the summer i will be nice and dark =] hehe.second:

THE BACHELORETTE...

So like i said in an earlier post, i LOVE tv shows! and the bachelorett is definately one of those! =] At first Deanna wasn't my favorite...but i have really started to like her. I feel like she is so honest and seriously in it to find love. Soooo....my favorites!!

...GRAHAM...

Graham is a total hottie and he REALLY reminds me of the lead singer on maroon five...so cute!

...JASON...
awww...jason is really my favorite favorite!!! he is just so real and is so dang cute!

...JESSE...

oh how i love this kid. he reminds me alot of rob dedric (rob & big) and has such a fun personality! i don't know if he is right for deanna...but i just love him! and let me just say, when deanna chose HIM over stupid sean at the rose ceremony, my family was going crazy! haha, yes, we get very in to our shows! l0l

anyways...i love this show and i can't wait to see who she chooses!!!! =] does any one else watch this show and have an opinion?!?!?!

UPDATE

So this is going to be one boring post, but atleast you will have some kind of update on my life? =] So i think it has been about almost a month that me and Ally have moved back to California with our family. It has been really nice to be with family but i really miss Provo! So i am so excited that me and Ally are going up with Matt and Lauren to Jenny's wedding so we can visit a few friends on the way out of Utah! And of course i am so excited that i get to eat some COSTA VIDA!!!! Yum!
Anyways...job hunting? Not so much! =[ I really wanted to work in a salon down here, but i have to get my California Cosmetolegy License first...which is a pain! I havn't really done my part it figuring out what i need to do really...so i need to get working on that! So since i couldn't work in a salon for a while i wanted to work at MAC cosmetics. I love make-up and just think it would be so much fun (like i said in an earlier post). So i gave my resume to them, but didn't hear back from them. So my new ideas are working at Sephora (another make-up place) and maybe Curves (the womens gym). I just need to start doing something! I am getting bored and need more money to help out the parentals! Grrr...why do i not have any motivation to do anything! haha.
Oh, my face also had an allergic reaction...sad! My forhead was breaking out and i was getting so sick of it! So Lauren use to use Murad (a really good, but expensive face wash) and Jonni has some too. I wanted to buy some, but decided to try it out for a day and see if i liked it before i forked out all that money on face wash. Well i am allergic to Sulfa and so i have to be careful and read ingrediants before i eat or use things. I saw that there was some form of sulfa in it, but i thought i would still try it. WELL...i had consequences the morning after and still do! My face was RED and itched like crazy...and i look like an umpa lumpa (chubby face haha!). So i hope it goes away...otherwise i will have to go get a shot from the doctors...and guess what, Taylor has NO insurance! Isn't that fun? haha.
AND last but not least...i am going to be an aunt in about 3 months!! Lauren is due September 7th (hopefully the 8th hehe) and i can't wait to be the favorite aunt! haha. That has been a major plus, watching Laur get bigger and bigger every day!
I love reading everyones blog...keep them coming! LOVES! <3
