Hunger Games Midnight Showing!

I LOVE Midnight showings! They are so much fun! And luckily I was able to go to the Hunger Games Midnight showing! It was awesome. Before hand, we borrowed a stencil that one of my wonderful friends from high school made and was kind enough to let us use it and then we spray painted our shirts! it was awesome!

These are some pictures from the night and our super awesome shirts!

Sometimes Brenda and Zach get bored and put colored pencils behind their ears.

Long Hair.

People are always asking me what the secret is to my long hair.

Here is a picture of my hair. Haha, I felt like this picture was appropriate for this post.

Yes, It is long, I am aware.



My Secrets (Please read "secrets" with a whisper and a hiss):
1. It has taken me years to get my hair this long. It didn't happen over night. The last time I cut my hair short-ish was probably in 9th grade.
2. I rarely straighten, curl, blow dry, or use heat on my hair. in fact, my hair is usually in a ponytail, bun, or braid.
3. I don't use very many products in my hair.
4. My hair is greasy, and guess what: I let it get greasy. I think that the natural oils keep my hair strong and healthy, and therefore longer.

*Some of these are just theries, but they have been working for me.

Oh, Well Crap

The other day I was at church (I am now attending the Single's Ward, in case you were wondering) and I was sitting next to one of my old young women's leaders, whose husband is now in the bishopric for the Single's Ward. Well she told me that she is going to tell me who all the cool boys are in the ward, just so I know. haha. Sacrement comes around, and we get the bread and the water, and then a boy in the ward, isn't sure if we got the water so he gestures to us (this caused some confusion, he was thinking "have you gotten the water yet?" and I was thinking "No, we don't need the water." Obviously, we weren't in sink telepathically). Well he walks away, and Sister A leans over to me and says, "He's cute and tall." And then I lean over to her and say "He's dating my best friend." And then she says, "Oh, well crap." And then I laugh. There is a little pause and then she asks, "Is your friend tall?" haha just making sure that this boy is dating a tall girl, because he is tall. Folks, Miya is tall. And then after Sacrement Meeting I go and find Dev Dev and inform him of the funny story that just occured involving me and him.

Why I love Harry Potter

Today I would like to express my love for Harry Potter.
Yes. That is correct. The man/boy with the scar.
The all to wonderful story that kept us all hooked throughout most of our childhood.
The thing that is the main reason why I love reading so much.
The book that taught children life lessons.
The main reason why 11 year olds would check the mail, in hopes of getting a Hogwarts letter.
The reason why the word "muggle" is now in a dictionary.
The topic of many debates.
Countless hours of reading, analyzing, pondering, and predicting.
Full of laughter, heartbreak, tears, and joy.
Priceless characters.
Hilarious names.
Magical creatures.
The place where most of my knowledge of England comes from.
The main reason why socks are so awesome.
Why, if I was a man, I would probably want to grow a beard down to my belly button when I got old.
Explains that chocolate is good for the soul.
The lifelong story of good vs. evil continued.
Love is the most powerful of all magics.
The emergence of many childhood friends.
Plus it even has unicorns in it.
To Ms. J. K. Rowling, I salute you.

Take your pick

The other day at work, I was walking around during the kids' reading time making sure that they were quiet and staying on task, when a fourth grader reading the Guineas Book of World Records book waves me over and asks, "Do you have a boyfriend?" Of course I respond in the negative. He pulls out his book, shows me a picture of like 20 men with their shirts off and says, "Take your pick."
I almost died laughing.
