Yummy

So I ate an entire apple pie today. It was good.This has been a good day off.

Oh Yeah...

One reason I never liked those questionnaire things is because I always have that moment after I am done filling them out where I think, "OH WAIT!"

Anyway...I wanted to publicly post some more best friends, whom without I never would have become the person I am today:
My sisters Monica, Gretchen and Bridgett, my parents, Mandy, Shem, Jeff R., and of course Jonathan.

I have a lot of best friends...and more than likely, I will remember another one as soon as I post this.

D'oh!!

Time For Another BLAG

So on two different blogs that I regularly read, I was tagged...one specifically named yours truly, and the other one was a general, "If you are reading this...consider yourself tagged" type BLAG (Blog + Tag).

So, to appease the masses, I am going to accomplish both BLAGs here. The first is from Hayley and the second from my cousin Lisa:

BLAG # 1 - The A to Z tag:

A - Attached or Single: "ALONE" would have been a better "A" word here...which of course I would have to apply to my current status in life

B - Best Friends: I like that they made this a plural opportunity, because I have several friends that I would rank right up there in the "Best" category. I will break this down by relative and non-relative. First the Relatives: Erik, Noah, Gabe, Craig, Scott, Daren. Non-Relative: Blue, KA, Tim F., Scott B., Alma, Beckie and Todd B.

C - Cake or Pie: Both is an option right? Ok...gun to my head, I would have to chose pie

D - Day of choice: What kind of question is this? I would have to say TODAY

E - Essential Item: Oxygen

F - Favorite Color: Whatever actually matches when I go out in public so I am not flogged and sneered at, or embarrassing to my family

G - Gummy Bears or Worms: Gonna have to go with Worms

.H - Hometown: Good ol' Payson, UT...where everyone knows your name...

I - Indulgence(s): PCH Chili Cheese Dogs

J - January or July: Both fantastic months with good things to offer...

K - Kids: Yes...I've heard of them

L - Life is incomplete without: the letters L, I, F, or E

M - Marriage Date: Half past Febru-later

N - Number of Siblings: Cinco

O - Oranges or Apples: I know this one! They are fruits!

P - Phobias or Fears: Lupislipophobia: The fear of being chased around a kitchen table by ravenous wolves on a freshly waxed floor wearing socks

Q - Quotes: Aren't those the little punctuation marks that go around things people say? Like, "Anyone who takes offense when no offense is intended, is an idiot." Mark Twain

S - Season: Tabasco is a seasoning in my book

T - Tag Three Friends: I'd rather not

U- Unknown fact about me: My life is a pretty open book to all

V - Very favorite store: Any book store

W - Worst habit: Eating out ALL the time

X - X-ray or Ultrasound: I'm really not sure what to answer here...I defer this one to someone who knows far more than I do on such topics...JASON!

Y - Your favorite food: Chili Dogs...hands down

Z - Zodiac: Libra or Virgo...depending on which calendar you look at. Being born on the Autumnal Equinox means: I'm special.

I bet you are curious where I am currently standing on the pet snake issue...I have had a lot of people weigh in. First of all, Gretch...it was Noah's snake that got loose. Second...to those who have stated they won't come visit me if I get a snake...I have made arrangements for a "Sitter" any time you want to come down. And finally...I still don't know if I am going to get one. But for anyone who knew me back when I was in elementary school...you should remember that it has always been my dream to have a pet snake for more than a few days. Ask the Payson Library...I think I was the only person that checked out every single reptile book they had for a good 8 year period, (no, it didn't take me 8 years to get through elementary school...just my fascination with the Herpetology sciences extended well into my teenage years).

However....no snake yet. I'll keep you posted.

Awesome...Just Awesome

Having no desire at all do delve into the recherche quagmire that is my life, and much preferring to rankle on in a garrulous manner, I found this today and simply had to post it:


This too:



Oh and on a temerarious note, I am thinking about getting a brobdingnagian pet:
Let the philippic comments flow...
