My new obsession

I saw the new Muppet Movie a few days ago. I really know squat about the muppets, but this movie was so great! It makes me want to watch all of the movies and shows I've missed the last thirty years.

Anyways, I love all things Muppet now. I've bought Muppet nail polish, I've been listening to the soundtrack all weekend. I also have a desire to play the banjo just so that I can play "Rainbow connection" if you haven't heard it you should! It's so beautiful.

I also want to learn how to whistle like this:

whoever that is whistling has mad skills.

Things I've been loving on lately

1. The Next Iron Chef: Super Chef Edition. This show is so intense. All of these chefs are the best of the best, so the competition is intense and the stakes are so high. I want every one of them to win because they all deserve it!
2. Bears. I finally got a spot in Dr. Tom Smith's research laboratory involving bears. Dream. Come. True!
3. The Awful Waffle. Emily has been telling me every day for a month how good it is and we finally went. Changed my life. For reals. I don't know what they put in my waffle, but it must have been some kind of drug because now it's all I think about. So goooooooooood.
4. Chicken Amore by Hungry Girl. So delicious and so easy to make. Really low cal too. Win win with that one.

Harold and the purple sweater.

In case you had a vastly deprived childhood, the above is a reference to the o so wonderful Harold and the Purple Crayon. I happen to be in the Harold B Lee library and am wearing a purple sweater. I thought it was pretty clever...
So here I am. Friday night at the library. There's fifteen minutes till the music turns on and I simply can't read another article on euthanasia My clock makes sounds like someone is walking down a hall. For the first hour I was here it kept physicking me out. I bet all the people around me were getting a little worried that I was paranoind what with all the looking up and all around I did. Pobrecitos.
I think I've spent more time in the library than I ever had in my whole college career and I always have to stay until the music starts playing. I find it really hard not to judge the people who leave five minutes before the music comes one. I mean, you've stayed here for so long anyways. Am I the only one who has an overwhelming curiosity to see if they will yet again play Mrs. Robinson? What's wrong with you people!

In other words, I missed both 11:11 11-11-11. I fail at life.
Well time to go!

Haley Boyle's food revolution

Yes, it is time for my bimonthly blog update, which can only mean one of two things:

1. I have loads of homework I should be doing, but really don't have to get done until later so I'm doing my regular shirking of responsibilities

or..

2. I've eaten a whole bunch of crap and must therefore proclaim to the world of my apparent addiction to food.

If you guessed a)1 or b)2 or c) all of the above, congrats! you win!

Anyways, emilia and i have come to a serious decision that we'll probably die an early death if we don't start rethinking our eating habits. So we did what any normal person would do. Bought a bagel bucket from Einsteins, a few pints of ice cream and vowed that once conference was over

that we would eat healthy. We actually did really well for they first three days. Emily made healthy enchiladas, I made ratatouille, did the whole carb counting shin dig and whatnot. We were on our way to heaven in a little row boat, but then Emilia's friend from home came down, and you can't feed a guest rabbit food. So the diet was delayed until further notice. Needless to say I returned to my bad habits. Today I found myself eating nothing but cookies, and a few grapes. I made about 50 cookies yesterday, and I swear I ate at least 20 of them today. My heart feels like it's beating sludge. Not even kidding. Does that stop me? I guess not.

Never fear! We're starting back up tomorrow with all the vigor and might two twenty somethings can muster. With the help of myfitnesspal.com and the BYU aerobics program I shall say adios Mike Wazouski! I've decided it would be best to update my progress on here, just so that I have some kind of motivation, because for some reason being healthy isn't motivation enough...

Most exciting isn't it? Yes, I thought so.

You can't roller skate in buffalo herd

but you can be happy if you have a mind to. Knuckle down buckle down Do it do it do it!

Today it's raining.- you know what that means?...

That's right. Toast. In this case Nutella (aka ambrosia) toast. With Hello Kitty on it of course thanks to my toaster which is pretty much the envy of all other toaster owners. Anyways I would like to thank the man or woman who invented Nutella for helping me discover the finer things in life. I'm not sure why it took me till college to realize what I had been missing. I am throughly convinced that the inventors have received a one way ticket to the Celestial Kingdom, assuming of course that they have not been translated already.

In other news Kid History is one of the funniest things I've seen in forever. I've wasted way too much time watching it.

My homestate decorates it's freeways- does yours?

I didn't really notice this before but Utah's freeways are very dull. While I think tax payers money could be better spent on things that are more important, I must say it's a lot more pleasant to look at walls that are decorated with lizards and snakes than just concrete. I haven't mastered taking pictures while moving, so none of these pictures do justice, but you can get the gist I think. Some of these I found online too.

THis one is my favorite, it's too bad I didn't get most of it

I haven't seen this one before, but its pretty neat no?

Not too great, but hey- it's home!

I'll buy you hat, a really big one...commodor

I really want a wide brimmed hat. Where on earth does one wear such a large hat though? The Kentucky Derby? As far as I can tell I won't be going there any time soon. Part of me just wants to buy the hat anyway in the hopes that some day I am asked to some kind of convention that requires such an object. But I have a closet full of things that I'm waiting to have a use for. In my sad experience I've come to realize that if I buy something expecting to use it sometime, I will most likely never use it. Such is the sad sad tale of an orphan's wardrobe.

one of those people...

Today I watched a video of a service dog that learned to surf, and no kidding, I was tearing up. I felt very much like i was this lady:



only hopefully less... like that

Here's the video about the dog in case you were wondering:

You might be a redneck if...

your bed propped up by cinder blocks falls over and you smack your teeth on a ¢50 bowl from DI

Or... if you had nothing but a plate full of meat for lunch

A little post for my roomie who dwelleth in Inglaterra

Here's a cute old song about England one could listen to whilst not doing their homework:

the new lord Voldemort

We keep getting in the mail these fashion magazines that no one ordered. We can't figure out why we're getting them and they're a little odd sometimes. This month's magazine feature Tilda Swinton, and why on earth she allowed herself to be photographed in this manner is beyond me. This one is by far my favorite---------------->

raisins are always optional

I don't even like raisins.
However, Ms. Emily left me a whole bag of them.
So I figured what the heck.
I can't tell you how tasty this bread is.
The best part is, it doesn't use much of my precious milk
and it's whole grain,
so I don't feel as bad eating the whole thing in one day.

So here you are:

Whole-Wheat Cinnamon-Raisin Bread on the Food Network
try it, you'll like it :)

los cereales

I'm not sure what it is but I just love cereal. I mean the concept of cereal sounds disgusting. Mmmm chemical coated dehydrated marshmallows and artificially flavored O's. I do hope with the advent of yet another remake of Superman it will also bring back Superman Life, my personal favorite. In the mean time I will have to numb my sorrow by watching cute Sesame Street clips.

Did I mention I love cherries?

When I was a kid I always wanted to eat a bowl of cherries while taking a bubble bath. I don't think mom would have gone for that though.

Then again, white never really was my color....

Due to recent events I have come to the conclusion that I am either A) a slob or B) there is a hideous conspiracy between my white tank tops and red sauce. It all started about a month ago when I soiled one of my most modest tanks with pasta sauce. After that I vowed to be more careful, but as fate would have it, I soiled my last white tank top for the likes of Brick Oven Pizza. I guess if you're going to lose a shirt it might as well be worth it right?

What is this? Why don't my shirts like chocolate milk or mustard or orange chicken? Why does red sauce only like white shirts? Where is my mommy at times like these?

All I know is now all I have left are the crummy tanks from the 8th grade.

Such is life I guess

O dad, why did you have to bust out the almond m & m's?

After two short years he's back! I'm so proud of him. He really is a good brother, despite all the not so nice things I used to say about him. He's also gotten a lot handsomer if you can believe it.
Or maybe I've just missed him a lot...
just kidding :)
The awesome poster you see here is compliments of my cousin Diane. She did a pretty awesome job no?
Tyler's homecoming talk is on Sunday, which I'm pretty excited for. My brother, if nothing else, is a very funny guy.

I've also gone on a much needed shopping trip at basically the best mall ever. For those of you who don't know which mall is the best ever, I'll give you a hint... It's the one in Scottsdale. Scottsdale, my friends, is a place so apparently important that even my spell check knows what it is.

Anyways... that's not really important. Since I have what my mom likes to call "Boyle feet" she decided that if I were to do all of this running jazz she would get me some shoes that are a little higher of quality than say my ones from Payless (A store not recognized by spell check).

Lets just say with my new shoes, I better be the next Usain Bolt (<----see picture). If I ever back out I deserve to be covered in syrup and doomed to stickiness for the rest of my life.

P.S. if you ever get the chance to see The Kings Speech DO IT! and True Grit. that one is also very good. Can I just say how much I love our $2 theater, even though they hunted us down in our movie and made us throw away our sandwiches. Technically we weren't supposed to have outside food in there anyway, but still. I want to know who is such a busy body that they felt the need to report us! I mean really!

greetings from rexburg Idaho!

howdy folks, how ya'll doin?

I'm just sitting here on my sister's couch thinking about life. Well not really. I'm actually deciding what to eat for breakfast. Both are equally important topics one must think about.

I've decided instead of going to my dad's house from Provo I would leave from Idaho Falls instead. I'm having such a good time with my sister and my friends I don't want to leave! I wish I could buy housing here for just a few weeks. I've done more in a few days than I did all year. Sad? You betcha. One of the benefits for having a socialite for a best friend I think :).

I can't believe how much Idaho's grown in just the two years since I've been here last. You should see their I-center. It's pretty dang amazing. It looks alot like the Conference Center in Salt Lake. The picture doesn't really do it justice. About half of the center is missing.

Today I went for a run. It was so awful. Rexburg weather is the most terrible thing in the world. I thought Provo was bad, but here it's always windy. ALWAYS! Wind doesn't make for delightful running conditions. I also seem to be getting worse at running. I could only force myself to run 4 songs before I gave up. Usually I can do 7 or 8 before I walk a little. Uh I'm going to die. Is it the copious amounts of crap my sister has been feeding me? Is it because the only thing I had this morning was a few kernels of caramel corn and a few gulps of blue Powerade (my favorite ever)?

Probably. I'll just blame it on the a a a a a altitude a a a a a a a a altitude

I also finished The Cather in the Rye . I've wanted to read it since last year when my facebook wall blew up with everyone posting how sad they were that the author had just died, but naturally everyone had my idea and the library was always out. So last Thursday after I took my physics test of death I hobbled on over to ol' Harold and snatched it up. There really aren't any words to describe this book! The whole entire book this kid basically doesn't do much of anything, but it's so good anyway! I mean it ends and you are like "what on earth?" but it's not one of those books where it ends and you wish you could get the time back you wasted. It's so weird. I feel like I should be mad because the author never resolves anything, but by the end you just accept that that's who the character is.

well I have to go to class with my sister in a few, so I guess I better wrap this up!
Buh bye!

final round!

I'm not sure why, but I thought I had finished this photo thing a long time ago. But turns out I was wrong wrong wrong. So here we are, Sunset and Camdon.

Day 26: A picture of something that means a lot to youHow did I get such a cute sissy?

Day 27: A picture of you and a family member

Day 28: Something you're afraid ofO Brazilian tour groups. Run for the hills!

Day 29: A picture that can always make you smile

demon poochy

Day 30: a picture of yourself

and we all went to heaven in a little row boat

Day 21: A picture of something you wish you could forget

Pretty self explanatory...

Day 22: Something you wish you were better at:
Running. I'm so slow it's ridiculous.

Day 23: A picture of your favorite bookWe all knew this was coming

Day 24: A picture of something you wish you could changeMy incredible shyness. You'd think with such an extrovert of a father I wouldn't have this problem, but alas, earwax.

Day 25: A picture of your day
Physics, o boy!

lets just finish this

Emily finished all of her posts in two goes, so I think I will too. This whole business is getting rather tedious. I think I'll maybe do four or five a day though so I don't waste too much time.
here we go:

Day 16: A picture of a person who inspires you
I stole this picture off her facebook... shh dont tell!
There's nothing this girl can't do.
Well okay, her saxophone music ain't so great.
But other than that, she can do no wrong!

Day 17: something that has made a huge impact on your life recently
Well, this hasn't happened yet, but mi hermano mejor
is coming home in 23 days!

Day 18: a picture of your biggest insecurity
I guess one of my biggest insecurities would be that I don't really know where my life is going. People ask me all the time what I plan to do as a Biology major and all I can say is " I dunno, maybe work at target". Is it really so awful that I haven't quite decided yet?
I guess I have un poco soul searching to do this summer no?

Day 19: A picture of yourself when you were little
Well i don't really have any pictures from when I was real little,
but I think here I'm thirteen or so.

Day 20: A picture of somewhere you'd love to travelThis my good fellows is Belgium, home of the Belgian waffle and more importantly, the Belgian chocolate. Ever since I did my 6th grade country report on this I've been shall we say... in love.

days 13-15

I'm a wee bit behind but no matter, I'll make it up now :)

day 13: a picture of your favorite band or artist:

I'm not really sure he's my all time favorite, but he's definitely who I've been listening to a lot.

Day 14: A person you could never imagine your life without
O Ms. Emily what will I do while you're rubbing elbows with all the brits?
I think this picture is a good indication.
Who's going to sing Beiber with me? who's going to eat panda with me?
Who's going to whine about physics with me?
I don't know! I DON'T KNOOOOOWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Day 15: Something I want to do before I dieI want to cut all my hair off. Unfortunately I don't have a face like Jean Seberg so I probably can't pull it off as well as she can, but you never know till you try right?

Day twelve: A picture of something you love

I wuv my doggies! There's nothing better than coming home to people that are always happy to see you. Big dogs are so fun to hug too.

Day eleven: A picture of something you hate.

Please excuse my lack of artistic ability.
It's supposed to be a hand touching an ankle.
My ankle's twitching just thinking about it!

Day ten: A picture of the person you do the most stupid things with.

Here be all my Disney roomies, except one, who had to wake up early that morning. I can't really think of anything stupid I've done since then, unless procrastinating physics homework until the last possible minute with Ms. Emily counts.
O how I miss the midnight Wendy's runs; foot shadow puppets; cramming into a bus that was already far over maximum capacity and even though you were so uncomfortable you didn't want it to end because the kid's from Africa were singing the most beautiful music; riding Rock 'n' Rollercoaster and Expedition Everest multiple times in a row; forgetting to reapply sunscreen and getting the worst burn of my life, getting a whole sand pale full ice cream with far too much fudge thinking it wouldn't be enough, having fat girl nights (as shown above), taking the matresses off our beds to watch movies and parading around the parks like we owned the place.
Memories are made of this

Day nine: the picture of the person that has gotten you through the most

"I can do all things in Christ which strengtheneth me."
-Phillipians 4:13

Day eight: A picture that makes you laugh.

Day seven: A picture of your prized possession

My Ti-89 magic. None of the 84 business.
Unfortunatly my calculators aren't as fond of me as I am of them.
So I guess my prized possession is really my sister's.
Such is life I guess.

Day six: A picture of a person you'd love to trade places with for a day.

Oh Audrey...
So graceful. So elegant. So beautiful.
So iconic. So classy.
AND she got to kiss Gregory Peck.
Need I say more?

Day 5: a picture of my favorite memory

hmmm... that's a really tough one. That's the kind of question you know until someone asks you and then you can't think of anything. This is a pretty good memory I think. Maybe not my favorite, but since I can't remember my favorite this will have to do.
