Sometimes in life we all just need some inspiration. I need A LOT of inspiration before/ during homework (especially math). And this semester I have learned a new way of doing so...I watch a sweet music video from the world cup! And it works every time :) I feel like I could run a million miles after I listen to this song. It's awesome!
Also, I do not own the rights to this video. :)

So I have recently began a new semester at BYU-Idaho, and I must say that I am LOVING it this semester! I have amazing roommates and some really fun classes! I have also met a bunch of new people, and a favorite question for everyone to ask is: What's your major? I have been asked this question countless times this semester, which is fairly normal. But this year I have been getting different reactions that I am NOT a fan of! So I am now and forever a Child Development Major..and the number one response is "Oh so you are just here to get married?" Oh my heck NO! First of all that is just rude to assume that the only reason I am at school is to get married and second I actually have ambitions. Not that getting married is bad or anything but I'm here to get an education. I'm going to get my bachelors in Child Development and then go on to get a Master's degree so I can be a counselor for children. And I for one am SO excited :) I even have my office planned out. I love kids :)
Well this post is double spaced for some reason and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to fix it but oh well! This summer I have been staying in Seattle with my family and I have had a blast! I love living in the city. There are so many people and different things to do! Besides working and exploring Seattle I have had quite the domestic summer. I have even started to learn to knit my own hats! Though I must say my biggest domestic triumph has been the sharpening of my culinary skills AKA I can cook! :) Yay! I have practiced making all sorts of dinners and desserts! Luckily my family has been willing to taste test all of my experiments. I am happy to report that all of the reviews were nothing but wonderful! I have also started using the coolest recipe site in the entire world! It's http://allrecipes.com/not only can you rate the recipes and read reviews on different dishes, people also comment and leave improvement advice which is quite helpful. I have become an official member :) Now I can build my own "recipe box" and save the recipes I like on my allrecipies account! I highly recommend this website!
So during the last week I was able to go to the wedding of one of my best friends ever Suzannah! I had a blast going around all day helping get herself and last minute things ready to go! We had so much fun talking about all of our fun memories of over the years. It's crazy to think that we have been friends since we were about 11 years old! And goodness I just love this girl! I also love

So tonight I was surfing the internet with my aunt Rebekah. We happened to stumble upon a site that gave us a wonderful highly entertaining idea! We quickly rounded up the troops to accompany us on our adventure of.....
THE LYING DOWN GAME!!!!! Here's how it works...you rigidly lay face down in random/awkward/obscure places. Your hands must be down at your side and your feet must be pointing toward the ground/out. So tonight we went around to places such as Pike Place Market and Fremont and played the game.
So this was my lying down game picture of the evening. I am lying on the ground beneath the gum wall at Pike Place Market...which I'm not going to lie was pretty gross! Not to mention the ground smelled kinda fruity because of all the ABC gum!!! SICK!!! But that's part of the game! I'm planning on playing this game for quite a long time. So I will randomly post more pictures of my lying down game experiences! I feel that game will be even more entertaining because we will play earlier in the day so there will be a lot more witnesses! I am so excited!
My first Blog post...how monumental..not really but it is slightly exciting! Well let's see I suppose I will introduce myself to my new blog because I'm SO deep! Actually I really don't know what to put in the "About Me" section. What are you supposed to put in those sections anyways? The boring things I guess....Hi I'm Felicia Smithee. I'm from Anacortes Washington, currently living in Seattle Washington...I'm going to school at BYU-Idaho my major is blah blah blah...BORING! well I will add more random facts about me that are not so generic:
2. I am one of the biggest Harry Potter nerds EVER! I have even had like 4 hour discussions with my friends about how awesome it would be if Harry Potter is real. And what if it is real...NERD!
3. My two favorite bands in the whole wide world are Owl City (probably number 1) P.S. I liked them WAY before anyone else! and then Death Cab for Cutie in close second place.
4. I name almost everything I own...my car = Hanz, adorable pink bunny= London, Blanket= Oliver, laptop = Dellard (Delly) for short. you get the picture.
5. I very much am in LOVE with dance!!! I love ballet, clogging, modern, tap...just about everything!
6. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and I wouldn't have it any other way!
7. If I could chose anywhere to go on a mission I would go to Paris France
8. I am NOT a fan of artificial cherry flavor...SICK!
9. I am a people pleaser for sure!
10. I work at Old Navy...Would you like to save 10% today and every Tuesday by opening up an Old Navy Card? And I'm expected to sell more of these things because I'm good looking...LAME!
11. This July I will be turning 20 years old and for some reason it makes me feel SO OLD!
12. I am very indecisive...I really do hate making decisions, especially when that decision immediately affects others. Such as...Felicia what are we going to do tonight? Where are we going to eat? Seriously I DON'T care! I'm perfectly happy just going with the flow!
13. Sometimes I am "Right with boyish attitude" meaning I am feeling like I want to be annoying, obnoxious, slightly rebellious, and I just want something to laugh at.
14. I love making fun of stereo types for certain cultures.....oh Finarry! yes I rove the Asians!
15. I am going to school at BYU-Idaho...as for my major it changes daily.
16. I HATE the ":P" face...it makes me angry just looking at it.
17. I'm a happy person and I love having fun! Laughing is one of my favorite past times. Though when I actually am laughing I am REALLY hard to understand. It's almost impossible.
18. Sometimes I cry for no reason at all, or I cry because I'm mad, stressed, frustrated, sad, really happy, laughing really hard, or a combination of these things. But seriously what girl doesn't cry?
19. I am VERY easy to read. I wear my emotions on my sleeve and I have the hardest time hiding them.
20. I have low blood sugar...meaning I get cranky or in sort of a passive mood when I'm hungry. Though being hungry is exciting because it means I actually do have a reason to eat! Yay!
21. Hitler has possessed my Jetta...Poor Hanz he has issues all the time because of it.
22. I LOVE inside jokes. They are one of the best parts of friendship.
23. I am a night Owl....In the morning I am more like an angry bear. In fact I won't even talk to anyone for the first few minutes I'm awake.
24. Unlike some girls I'm actually confident enough that I can go places without make up.
25. I like to make weird faces at people just for the fun of it! I would much rather take weird pictures than serious smiley "pretty pictures"
26. I love late night star gazing adventures, complete with looking for "Anacortes's finest", eating Popsicles and candy bars, going and looking at the smiley face. And of course late night trips to the doughnut house!
27. I dance EVERYWHERE I go...seriously.
28. Congratulations! Today is your day! You're off to great places! You're off and away! I Love love love children's books!
29. I am obsessed with hair products...I'm a junkie actually. I had to have a whole duffel bag devoted to just hair products when I went to school. Yes I do have a problem. But the first step is admitting it right?
30. Deep Purple is my favorite color! its GORGEOUS!
31. Baby Mama is my favorite movie hence my Blog title in case nobody caught that.
Pretty deep huh? hah that's enough of me going on and on about myself for one post. My Blog won't really have one specific purpose or topic. Just some of my random rants, thoughts, tangents, or whatever I feel like posting on this thing.
