Orange Julius

Some People like Jamba. Others prefer Smoothie King. But I favor the ORANGE JULIUS.

Here are some random facts any true Orange Julius lover would know.

It all started with the creation of an orange juice drink that was less acidic and more light and frothy in 1926. The location? Los Angeles. Can you believe it an orange juice stand is what started it all!!!!

It became the official beverage in the 1964 World's fair.

44 of the 50 US states have OJ enterprises. I think it will be mandatory for me to live in a state where there are ample OJs.

Nicole's favorite OJ drink is Pina Colada.

I want one so BAD!!!! There's just nothing quite like the perfect medley of fruit, milk, ice, vanilla and oh-so-creamy-and-light-froth that you get when you sip on a OJ. Divine!

Dinner Group

Every night, at 6:30 a group of friends and I get together to have dinner. We rotate cooking responsibilities every night. Friday's is my night and this is what came of it....

How I wish we had another oven!

Happy Eating!

One of those days

This day started so great. Then i went to my anatomy class and as I heard my professor talking about the closed lecture quiz-- my heart sank. I forgot to take it! I sincerely, genuinely, honestly just, forgot. I don't know what this is going to do to my grade. I left my class early because i felt nauseous being surrounded by students who didn't forget to take the exam.

Ahh...Perspective Nicole! Perspective! This is so small (is it really though...???) compared to everything else thats going on and approaching. PERSPECTIVE.

I hadn't been on my computer since yesterday afternoon really and when i opened it when I got home a youtube video a friend had showed was still up. I watched it again, and it pretty much fixed my mood. I have NO idea whats going to happen. If I have to take the class all over again, I am sure there is a reason for it and all will work out.

On a brighter note, I got an obscure email saying my BYU ID was turned in....The one I lost in my wallet a month ago!! Thats right, my wallet was turned in! It turns out it was found in Forever 21. So yes, it is still a happy day and even though i forced the thumbs up, I am not gonna let this get to me!

Oh...and my comic relief for the day....I totally walked into the door at the breakroom at work today and then into the wall at the bookstore while being mesmerized by the Easter display :)

Day 28 A picture of something you are afraid of

I am not exactly afraid of heights. But when I saw the tree I had to climb to do the zip-line at our Family Reunion I freaked out!! Then I saw my 75 year old grandmother do it...haha there was no way I was gonna be be the only one in our family not to do it, so I did, nearly peed in my pants, but its was so much fun!!!!!

Day 27 A picture of you and a family member

This is me and my cousin Shazer. He makes the BEST funny faces ever!!

day 26 A picture of your day

My best friend from high school gave me these shoes. Handmade. Leather. From Turkey.

Day 25 A picture of your day

Sadly, nothing too exciting took place today. The highlight was probably my bonding moment with my new cookbook. And if only I had a picture of my slipping in the snow instant, that would have been the kodak moment to record :)

p.s. I realize the whole thumbs up thing is becoming a trend in many of my pictures. I'm working on that one.
