Tangled

I've been kinda obsessed with this song

Just Squirrelly

Are you ever in the car and there is just a really good song on and you are singing at the top of your lungs? You don't really care if others see you, but really you aren't really expecting anyone to be looking. Sometimes you get this sense though, that someone is just staring at you, so you look.

Well the other day I was listening to that silly Bruno Mars song, "Just the Way You Are". I was singing so loud!! All of a sudden I got this feeling that someone was looking at me. Next to me was this van with a guy bouncing and singing so loud!!! It made me so happy!! :) :) Here I thought that some person was glaring me down but, no he was just dancing and bursting in song just like me! :)

I love this world!

Asian Beetles

I've come to a conclusion.

Sometimes cars REALLY look like they have faces!!

While driving on the interstate and looking at the other side of the median I can see million of metal faces driving by getting hit in the face with lots of bugs.

Flabs (Sick Word Eh?) (Flabbergasted)

So this is kinda random and maybe it's just me, but I can't wrap my mind around how someone carves a head, body, or whatever out of stone.
They have such intricate details: the hair, the veins, the soft touch of their skin.
How can one make something so beautiful and perfect by taking a ugly piece of stone and making it a masterpiece?
It amazes me.

EDIT!

I came across the perfect picture to add to a blog post I made a few days ago. Check it out.. click HERE

Lesson Learned

So today I decided I was in some dire need of orange juice. I get in these weird obsession moods for orange juice and ya'll, it's the season. Well I was out of oj and decided Mc Donald's has amazing oj for my tummy.
I was running a smidge behind schedule, I got to school right on time and needed a close parking space or I WOULD be late (I would rather be late, because I'm not a fan of this class). All the spots were taken, except there was a Visitor Parking for the Student Center open. I've parked there a couple times before and never got a ticket, so I gambled my money away and parked there.
Turns out I forgot I parked there (imagine that) and stayed after class for an hour.

I was just telling the girls, "Maybe I won't get one! I've never gotten one in the previous times, but I probably need a lesson taught so I won't park there anymore"

Ladies and Gentlemen you're right, I received a ticket.

For about 2 minutes I contemplated lying. I contemplated crumpling up my integrity and putting it in the recycle bin, but you're aren't suppose to crumple recycled paper, which makes it worse.
I actually thought about lying and telling the school people that I was parked in the space next to visitor parking and they made a mistake. I ACTUALLY THOUGHT ABOUT IT.

Then I caught myself and realized what I was thinking, I wanted to lie so I wouldn't be punished for something that I broke the rules doing. I went straight to the cashier and paid my pink ticket of $25.

Luckily, I still have my integrity and it doesn't have to be thrown away. I may have lost my CTR ring but I can still Choose The Right :)

It amazes me how much the adversary is there in our lives tempting us to do things we would never dream of doing. It just shows how important it is to do all the little things in life that will help you when the big picture mistake is there.

Don't crumple up your integrity for the recycle bin, because it won't take it and then it will just be thrown in the trash.

Sometimes I just want to pinch him to make sure he is real and not an amazing imaginary friend I have *conjured in my mind.

Signed, Her

****conjuredpast participle, past tense of con·jure (Verb)

1. Make (something) appear unexpectedly or seemingly from nowhere as if by magic.



His new nickname should just be conjure

Expelliarmus!

Sometimes, I take that back, ALWAYS I wish that we could have a world such as Harry Potter.

I want to be a wizard!!

How cool would that be?! We could fly around on brooms, instead of taking 18 hour trips to Montana we could go through the fireplace, but if we felt like taking that fun roadtrip we still could!

If we were super lazy we could just say, "accio!".

I guess I don't know if I would want to incorporate all of the wizarding world because it could get scary, like with the Avada Kedavra curse and those other scary ones.

BUT THE FUN ONES?! I'm all for that.

Don't you wish?

On a side note: Neville Longbottom is so sexy.

Bears in Bed

Tonight was the night!!
A few weeks ago I bought some Sleepytime Tea Vanilla style, but it's been really warm outside and I wanted it to be cold when I had my delicious Vanilla Sleepytime.

So tonight I sat on the couch with the door open (so I could hear the leaves rustling), caught up on How I Met Your Mother, and drank my tea.

I have a sore throat so it felt nice, and I dropped a caramel apple candy corn in the bottom of my cup for some sweetness.

It was a good night.


My grandma gave this adorable tea kettle to me :)

Brass Bed

We all know I'm not very good at explaining things, but bear with me.

Question: Are there things in your life that just take you to another world?

Examples: Songs, movies, pictures, ect...

This world: It's so bright and colorful and it gives you the butterflies/ there are butterflies just flying around everywhere. There are waterfalls and mountains, lush green grass and trees. Hills and valleys, dandelions and sunflowers. Any season you want can come at the snap of a finger. The sun is shining so wonderfully and you never want to leave. This place is the ultimate happiness.

Does art do this to you, or is it just me?

I miss writing in my journal. End of story.
P.s. Aren't we cute together?
P.s.s. Ironic or Destined-My Little Mermaid picture is in the background and in this very picture in deed I am wearing my Ariel shirt that I made for Halloween a few years back.

I have that funny feeling in the pit of my stomach and my fingers start tinkling, all with a constant smile and a giggle trying to escape my mouth :)

Sing at the top of my lungs

My roommate's boyfriend finished his mission last Friday and today they reunited for the first time in two years! If I must say so myself, they're too stinkin cute.

Legendary

I have this folder on my computer and I put everything I love and find interesting in there.
I think that you should do the same, because then someday you will go through it all and be so filled with joy, even the saddest event can't keep you from smiling. :)

Sweet Disposition

So since this Summer I have come to a realization about myself, I think I have Hemophobia. Always since I can remember the mention of needle and I cringe and want to run away but I never realized till this summer it's worse with blood.
The realization started when I got: Bloody nose #1 at the beginning of summer. I was home alone and freaking out, I called numerous people asking what to do. I didn't want to move I just laid there scared for my life.
Bloody nose #2
I was in Montana at my grandparent's house with my sister and her family. We were sitting at the table, I just finished breakfast, out of no where my nose started bleeding. I tried to act calm, went over to the trash to throw away my napkin and fainted on the kitchen floor.
My sister said she could see the panic in my eyes when I saw the blood.
Now I realize just thinking about blood or seeing it makes me queasy.
Example: right now, meaning I should probably stop typing and start thinking of happy thoughts. :)

Now you have learned something else random about Talia Katrina Walker- Signing Off

HAPPY FIRST DAY OF FALL!!!!!

My favorite time of year is when the leaves decide to have a mind of their own.

I noticed the leaves changing color yesterday and got so happy I took a picture!!!
I'm so excited to bake pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, pumpkin EVERYTHING!!!
I love when you get to bundle up in warm clothes, and always have a blanket hooked to you.
I love watching the leaves as they fall slowly to the ground, I love stepping on the crunchy ones, and I love raking them into a pile and jumping in!

Fall is that time of year when I appreciate how beautiful our Heavenly Father made this world. It's absolutely breath taking and puts me in a FANTASTIC mood.
Even music sounds better in the fall.
It's the perfect set up for Thanksgiving and then CHRISTMAS!!

Fall has Approached

So it's been a while since I've blogged. As of the moment I don't want to try and "catch up". If you want to know what I've been up to, because obviously I've been busy. Check out my photos on facebook. Not friends? Add me. In advance, if I don't know you, I WILL NOT ACCEPT YOU. :) On happy note.

This week I started school again.... yay....
It's weird, usually by June I'm ready for school again. Yeah not this year. I'm still not sure I'm okay with school starting, well I guess technically it already started. Anywhoo. I will allow it because I've been keeping busy and have some good friends right now.

YOU ARE IN LUCK. I took... wait for it..... First day of school pictures. I did the self timer and put my camera on the TV.
*note boob shot was on accident trying to get self timer to work. Thought I would share, found it was funny.

So turns out, I hate geese. They scare the crap out of me.

Do you think?

Do you think that after we die we can travel around the world and see all the places we missed out on? Do you think maybe we can take long vacations and stay in abandoned castles? Can we build a house so our favorite view in the whole world can be seen out our our big picture windows? Can we do the things we were too busy, poor, or scared to do, later?
Tell me your thoughts.

Just because I'm not a big fan of having pets doesn't mean I don't find them adorable.

So almost everyone knows I'm a tad obsessed with rhinos.
I've been thingking and there are three other animals I just find so uncannily beautiful and amazing.

Horsies.
Owls.
Octopus.

You might be able to understand the first two, but the last one?! Yeah I'm not even really sure why, the last few days I've been thinking about how cool they are. Something about the octopus is so intriguing and I find them wonderful.

* *So as I was looking for a picture, I envisioned a huge octopus tromping over the city killing everyone, then looking at pictures of them scared me.... So, I think I'm gonna cross them off my list. Still they are pretty cool, but those extra legs with the sucky things on them are a tad too scary. Peace out octopus, nice liking ya.

Highlight of my Life

On Friday my breast fren, Sami and I went to the Jason Reeves/Ingrid Michaelson concert at the Slowdown. First off not only do I love both of them, but they sounded so amazing! Even better in person! It was funny though, Sami and I were there for Jason and no there even knew who he was, they were there for Ingrid. I do love Ingrid though and she is really funny, plus. Something about Jason though, he is just different. It's not that I am in love with him for his looks, he isn't anything that special but his music, his soul makes him magnificent.
He is an incredible singer, poet, writer, musician, just a plain incredible man. Artist.
He takes words out of my mouth I didn't even know I was thinking till I heard it. He paints the most vibrant, full, bold, colorful picture in my mind with the most elect words and phrases. When it comes to music and art, he has my heart, mind, and soul.
My words in my brain are like doves trying to get out of their cage. They don't know how to figure it out on their own. He is that string that pulls the door open and they fly out fast, everywhere. Soaring to the sky, belting their song to the world.
Someone once said, "Everyone needs a little help"

It was an honor to be at his concert and get a picture with him.

*Spoiler Alert!!!* "Penelope" Do not read, go watch.

I think I could watch this movie once a week and still adore it. When I first saw the preview for this movie I thought, "Dumb.", when I was in Idaho we ended up watching it and that is when I fell in love with this movie. The whole movie takes me to another magical feeling world.
Some reasons why I love the movie Penelope:
1. I love the story
2. The actors
3. The humor
4. Her house
5. The fantasy
6. The music
7. The clothes
8. Her room
8. The nose
9. The ending kiss
10. How the butler is the witch
11. How the mother loses her voice
12. How he isn't royal blood
13. How he loves her even with her pig nose
14. How beautiful James McAvoy is
15. How James McAvoy kisses
16. How James McAvoy pushes her on the swing
17. James McAvoy
18. How they lived happily ever after, so far
19. It's not the power of the curse, it's the power you give the curse
20. The weather
21. How all she had to do was love herself to break the curse
22. The colors
23. How he has her guess which instrument he plays
24. How they play chess through the two way mirror
25. The eye patched little person
26. How she goes out to explore the world
27. How every time I watch it I rewind the end and re-watch at least 3 times
28. How I get the butterflies every time
29. How it's the perfect story to feel love, and the beauty of love, whether
it's for someone else or for yourself.

Dear Long Luscious Red Hair,

I know it’s been a while now and I should have moved on, but it’s hard. I still think about you all the time. Short hair has been good to me, brown hair has as well, it has, and I'm glad I was able to donate those 15 inches, but nothing will ever compare to what we had. I know this is bad, but sometimes… when I’m brushing my short brown locks, secretly I’m thinking about you. You were different, long gorgeous red curls, and I loved you the moment I saw you on my scalp. Some of my fondest memories took place when we were together and these days I find myself fighting to hold back the salty tears that well up in my eyes when I think about you and I together.

I guess all this is just to say that I love you and I miss you. What we had was something special. And I don’t want to forget that.

Come back to me, grow faster.

I can't decide if Summer is getting to me or I am really thinking this because I haven't been in school for a while.
Here is my dilemma:
I am going to school to become a Sign Language Interpreter but that only gives you an Associates degree then if you want the RID to put you on their registry you have to have a Bachelors degree in something, basically anything you want. So if I'm going to have to go to more schooling what do I want to major in?!
This is where my mind gets mad at me. I think that being a Middle school teacher would be so amazing. I think I would love that so much, but then what about my Sign Language Interpreting?! I don't want to lose my skill after I spent time acquiring it. Plus I love it so much, I've never had so much fun learning.
Writing this down is just making my brain hurt even more. Any suggestions my 6 followers? Sounds pathetic, 6 followers, never the less I love you and glad you follow.
I hope you have a good day and you follow your heart like the sunflowers follow the sun!

Dream or Reality?

So for about the last year or so I've been thinking that when I'm married and old I want to travel across the U.S. on a motorcycle. It has to be one of those decked out ones with cushions, 3rd wheel, helmets with microphones, arm rests, and drink holders. (Our old bodies will be frail) How fun would that be though? You and your dear love would be that couple that everyone thinks is weird because you are wearing tie die shirts, bandannas, jeans that are too tight for our wrinkled bodies, frayed leather jackets, maybe some chaps, and freaky sunglasses. You would be able to throw the peace sign out at all of the other motor kids.
It would be like another life you hold on the side.
Maybe it's just a day dream I will hold on to deeply, or it will become a reality, all I know is that it has occupied my thoughts as I'm driving on the interstate bored many a times.

P.s. Maybe my husband can wear this shirt so he seems more creepy than me.

Give in Talia.

This post was going to be great. Lots of writing with description, adventure, heartache, and other tales but a whole movie went by (Stardust,amazing movie) and the typie guy continues to blink on my screen. I was coming up with things I would rather make than type.
I would rather make:
1. cookies
2. a blanket fort
3. crafts
4. out

Well these pictures are describing what kind of mood I am in:


Please tell me it took you a while to get it, and then laughed your ears gone.

New is Grood.

The past few days I have been able to be at home in Omaha and relax/have fun with Erin. It has been great, I love being with that girl. Anyways with some of my free time while she was at school I rearranged my room!
I love rearranging things, as a child I would always be rearranging my room. Then I would go downstairs and say, "MOM! come look at my new room!" She would always be so surprised and wonder how I moved all of the heavy stuff. (I'm really strong if you didn't know that)
At first I wasn't sure I liked the "new" room, but now I absolutely adore it.



I also decided that I wanted to dye my hair. I know those of you that remember when I did that last time it was a little tragic (Black), but I wanted to try something new. It is dark brownish red, but I really like it. I'm sure it will fade fast with the sun, cause it's summer, ya know. I'm excited to have a new look though, on me and in my room.
