Tag your it...

My sister had this on her blog so I guess I will fill it out since it said tag your it.

6 Totally random facts about me.

1. I love to drink water but I am picky about how. If it is at a restaurant I need a straw. If it is at someones home I need a plastic cup. I do not like to drink water from glass cups because I think that the water smells like lake water so in turn my brain thinks it tastes like lake water. Hence the straw I can't smell the water plus I don't think that cups are clean enough at restaurants.

2. I cant stand it if my foods touch. I have some food issues and they have gotten much better but I still don't like my food to touch. It grosses me out to watch people mix corn in their mashed potatoes. I only eat one food item at a time and I eat things in circles. (Hamburgers, cookies, sandwiches, toast.) I also like to use separate utensils. If anyone knows me they understand this.

3. I have a new love! Lost the show. It is the most addicting show it is like crack cocaine. My favorite part is that they are all connected in their pasts and don't even know it. This show is so well thought out its crazy. I started watching them on DVD and we are almost through season three on DVD we can't wait until December for four. Ahhh. You should watch it.

4. I am going back to school to become a Pharmacist but because I was going to be a Social Worker I have lots of classes to take. So its like 6 or 7 years away.

5. I have recently learned that hair is just hair and it will grow back. I used to have a centimental irrational attachment to my hair and freak out everytime I cut my hair convinced my sister had cut off all the growth. But since I have cut my hair about 14 inches since april I'm completely over it. I cut of 8 then 2 more two weeks later. Then another 2 inches 8 weeks later, and just recently I chopped off another two to three inches. So counting the regrowth its been about 14 inches. I love it though.

6. I used to work at Hot Dog on a Stick and I absolutly loved it. I would work there again is the sad thing. So far it was probably my favorite job ever.

Since you are reading this you have to post your own so I can read them.

"Your friends will come and go, but your sisters will always be there"

I never would have thought that the comforting words of my mom when I was seven years old would continue to ring true throughout my life. When my sister Audrey and I were younger I had this friend named Kim who was my friend first. Then Audrey started coming to hang out with us, so we would get in fights. When I would complain to her she would always just say "Your friends will come and go but your sister will always be there." I think she meant it more as this is so lame you will both be over it in a day.

So to all you moms out there, chose your words wisely cause they will stick with your kids for life. The good and the bad, hopefully they will remember the good more. Pass along the most inspirational or influential words of your parents to your own kids. I know that I will.

My best friend has decided to live up to my moms words on more then one occasion, which when you have been friends for 21 years its like losing a sister in a way. The only difference is she can actually leave and my sisters can't.

So to my three longest Best Friends (my sisters). I love you! I don't know about you but I am truly greatful that Heavenly Father put you guys in my life. With all the good and the bad at the end of the day we will always be sisters. May we have many more good memories and grow old together. Sorry ladies but your stuck with me. Audrey you have been with me since I could only call you audwe. We have many memories as kids together, you and I were the most like friends you have always been my best friend ever since we spent our summers at the pool and ran around barefoot in the rain singing money for the poor. Amber you have always been the sister that I looked up to and thought was so cool. You took me to my first day of kindergarten when I was scared to go to school. You are always so funny, especially when we are alone. I think that I have enjoyed you more as a friend as an adult but its better late then never. I think I needed to grow up. Tiffany you have always been the one that took care of me. Your the sister that has always put a special vested interest into my life and happiness and for that I am infinatly grateful. You have been the sister I have always looked to for advice and probably always will.

I hope that you all have sisters and if you don't I am very sorry, hopefully you have amazing sisters-in-law. May all of your daughters be blessed with sisters. They are the best friends Heavenly Father intended you to have.

LAGOON!

I have been told many times that I act like I am seven years old. This last weekend I went to Lagoon and I was so excited all week that I could hardly sleep. It's like when you are in elementary school and you have a lagoon day and you just can't wait. That is really how excited I was. I just want to know if anyone was as upset as I was about the ride "The Samuri" being put in? When I think about Lagoon as a little kid I think of Eight things.


1. The Swings and being afraid to lose your shoes in the water or putting your arms on the outside of the chains and leaning forward but being totally scared to fall in the water. (all at the same time thinking that its the coolest swing you have ever been on and wondering if this is how birds feel when they fly.)


2. The Tidal Wave and lifting your hands up experiencing that first funny tummy feeling that you get on amusement rides, trying to be the loudest side to scream.


3. The Magic Carpet Ride which I know made a lot of people sick but I loved that ride, going backwards and forwards around and around. I loved that ride (you feel like Jasmine). So much to my dismay a few years ago they took that ride out and put in the Samuri which gives me a screaming headache.


4. The White rollercoaster and going on that ride a million times at the end of the night with my sister Tiffany and her friend Julie the first year I was tall enough to ride that ride. The sound of the old track and the old wood as you make the journey up that first hill. I also think of the family legend that my aunts friend Barb got stuck on that ride and had to ride around like 9 or 10 times. I don't know if it's true or not but I tell every new person I go to Lagoon with that story.


5. The Colosus (Which many of you know is not the real name. Isn't it the Dragon something or other?) and being scared to ride it for the first time and having to pee so bad my family told my my pee would hit eveyone on the ride when we went on those two loops.


6. The Jet Star II (Whatever happened to Jet Star I?) and hearing about the kids that weren't prepared for the stop and the one in backs teeth went into the head of the other one. (Which I am sure is so untrue). Its amazing how you go on the new rides like Wicked and they practically box you in just to keep you safe, but on this ride its like an open bob sled with one loose seat belt holding you in. I am sure it is not super safe but I love that ride.


7. The Airplanes I don't care what anyone says I love those silly airplanes and trying to get them to go as far out as possible by moving that heavy metal wing back and forth with all your might.


8. The Terror Ride I was so scared of that ride when I was little. Wasn't there a witch or something that came out of the shutters on the top? Or did I just imagine that?



Basically I just love lagoon. I even ditch my favorite shoes (flip flops) just so I can ride the swings. The new things that I love are dipin dots. You just can't go to Lagoon and not get some. Also that they have many water rides so you don't sweat to death. Which I like the Cliffhanger but unless you want to get everything wet including your kidneys don't ride that ride.

El Diablo

I was told to update my blog although I really have nothing exciting going on in my life right now. I thought I would share my story of the devil spider that was lurking in my bathroom one fateful day.

I come home and go to get in the shower, I take off my glasses and climb in. As many of you may know I am blind as a bat so things are a little fuzzy for me. I look in the corner of my shower and see this big black dot in the ceiling. So I thought to myself is my neighbor drilling holes in my ceiling spy on me. I get a little closer (too close) and its a spider a giant one. Well I am not too terrified of spiders so I continue showering with one eye open. My shower has the shower head that is actually a hose so I turn on the water full pressure and spray it on the spider. It caught the spider off guard and he goes dropping down from the ceiling. Then with the full pressure of the water on this devil spider he still climbed his way back up to the ceiling. Then I sprayed some cleaner on the spider, hairspray, and water but this spider was hanging on. I finally got him down into the tub and used nail polish remover on him and that polished him off.

The picture of him next to my toe is when he is a little shriveled from all the chemicals. He must be a very strong spider. I showed the Bugman that comes and sprays my work and he says that this spider is actually a really good spider that eats posionous ones but I wasn't taking my chances. My dog likes to eat spiders so I don't want any around. I have now developed this obsession with taking pictures of spiders or bugs in my house but sometimes they disappear while I am getting my camera.

The cutest mullet ever!

Okay so I do have a family I can write about and they actually have children and things going on in their lives I can write about. So my newest nephew Xavier James (I hope I spelled that right), was born on thursday the Fifth. He was number 14, crazy right. The funny thing is 8 of those 14 are under the age of 4. This little guy was the seventh boy bringing the boys back up to even with the girls. This little bundle of joy came 18 days early to my sister Amber and her husband Mike, weighing in at a healthy weight of 7 pounds and 2 ounces. He is so stinkin cute and he came rocking a mullet, he must be all about business and partys. Anyways I can't wait to get to know the little man and what can I say my family has beautiful children.

First blog!

So my sister Audrey asked me to start a blog because she wants to list her friends on the side of her blog but she doesn't have very many blogging friends. At first I was unwilling for various reasons. First of all I think that blogs are so cute when you are married and/or have kids. Well I don't have either. Personally I think that some of the blogs I have seen where it's just a single person are quite lame like "Oh my gosh the other day at school....". I really don't have that much going on in my life so for the three people who will actually read my blogs, you may be bored out of your gills. Like I mentioned before I don't have any kids except for a four legged hairy black dog. He is two so he has learned all his tricks, so I can't even blog about that. He can sit. stay, speak, rollover, catch treats off his nose, and do that last trick with just hand movements. He is a good boy and I am a proud mom, but that is not much to talk about. The only other thing I have going on in my life is work. I work at a raisin ranch and sometimes funny things happen, so that may be what I have to blog about. It may be a lame blog but I love my sister so I will do anything for her.
