Uhhhh... Disaster
So I have this problem. It's called "I decided to run two companies out of my bedroom and therefore have no room left in my room for anything." Which, I guess some people don't care if their room is a disaster. But it drives me crazy. Thankfully, it's organized mess in that I know where everything is.... but, still... it's driving me crazy. I need to clean my room but I always get super overwhelmed and give up. So, I'm going to show you what a disaster this is and hopefully that'll motivate me to show you how clean it is! :\ This is embarrassing but here it is...
Please forgive me but...
I can't figure out how to follow people from my sidebar. Mom's already sleeping so I'll ask her when she wakes up. Thanks to all my new followers! And thanks to my super awesome mom for sending you guys over!

5 Things I Love Right Now
1. Instagram. It is my favorite app. It's like twitter for iPhone users. And no words. Only pictures. I love it. They have all these awesome tints you can use.
instagram!
2. Grande iced non-fat coconut lattes. If you put $5 on your card in the morning before Zumba, you get a treat receipt and then after 2, on your way to work you get a $2 iced coffee. Best deal ever. I save $2.
3. Shell Bangles. They're pretty bomb. My cousin is making me more so I can have a wrist full of fun bracelets.
(Please don't look at my awful chipped nail polish. Thanks. :) )
4. Zumba. It is SO. MUCH. FUN! I was really scared to go. I went once and I got hooked. Best part of my day.
This is my Zumba teacher! I love her! Watch the video of her class! You can see how we have class on the marina and what Zumba is like!
5. Sun Bum Lip Balm. It goes on super smooth, has SPF, and smells like a banana slurpee. Woohoo!!
What are your favorite things this summer?

My goal...
Is to get my brother to voluntarily give me a hug and say "I love you too, Big Sis" in response to my "I love you baby brotherrrrrr!!!!" My attempt today went a little something like this...
Nakita: I love you little brother!
LB: (playing on his new fancy phone)...thanks... WHOA I HAVE GOOGLE EARTH ON THIS!
...I shall try again tomorrow

I won't grow up!
When I turned 22 I kind of freaked out. Actually, I've freaked out every year starting at 18. I believe my exact words on my last day of being 17 were "I CAN'T GROW UP! I NEED TO STAY A KID FOREVER!" Of course I turned 18, then all of a sudden I'm 22 and feel like I should be an "adult" and act like a grown up. However, I decided today that I don't have to grow up. I don't have to do anything I don't want to. I can do whatever I want. Such as make a music video with my cousins like Kendall and Kylie Jenner do. I will be doing that the last couple weeks of summer.

Things That the Kids I Watch Say
Walking through Whistler...
T: Where are you getting engaged?Nakita: I don’t know, I don’t even have a boyfriend.
T: Why?
Nakita: I can’t even begin to explain why I don’t have a boyfriend.
T: Well, when you do have a boyfriend, you should get engaged there (referring to the restaurant her parents got engaged at)
Nakita: Well, what if I get engaged somewhere at home or somewhere else in the world?
T: No. You have to get engaged in the snow… and you have to have a big, huge diamond ring.
Nakita: (laughing really hard) Okay, so when I have a boyfriend you make sure you tell him that okay?
T: Yeah and if not, (bring her arms up) I’ll punch him. Really hard.

Nanny Diaries: Whistler Edition
Email to my family on 12/18/10:
The day started CRAZY! I fell asleep around 7:30 last night (so 5:30 Hawaii time-CRAZY) and I woke up around 7:30am and everyone was awake and running around. Apparently the kids have to be at ski school at 7:45ish so it was a craze.
Then the hard part, parents going up the mountain and me staying with S. She. Threw. A. Fit.
I swear people thought I was kidnapping her. We had to go to the grocery store to pick up some stuff and the people there were all really nice and super helpful because I had a toddler throwing a temper tantrum screaming, “MOMMY! I WANT DADDY! I WANT MOMMY! I WANT DADDY!” interspersed with her sing/crying “you better not cry Santa Claus is coming to town” getting yelled out at me. This caused the guy stocking an aisle to sing the song for her. It didn’t help. She just stared at him like he was nuts. Looking back, funny. At the time, not one bit.
Then outside the store, in the middle of the square, walking IN THE SNOW she throws her boots and socks off from the stroller.
And refused to put them back on.
Which resulted in me running through the town back to the hotel to get her inside with groceries, carrying her in my hands, and pushing a stroller. Not to brag, but I’m pretty impressed that I pulled that one off. She napped for all of 10 minutes before she wanted to go play in snow.

Nanny Diaries: Whistler Edition
Email Excerpt:
The fire alarm went off this morning. T started crying and saying we were going to die. Fire trucks came. Sleeping people were evacuated into the snow. Pajamas and fur coats. My goodness. Turns out there wasn’t a fire. There was a flood? I don’t know what happened. But definitely exciting.
