Political Web Site

Hey found this web site that breaks down what the candidates have said and weather they are true or not. Sorry Eric your choice is not on the website, but it is pretty cool anyway.

New Song

Hey Guys my friend Rachel introduced this song to me today. Paul and Jenn this girl is on the Juno soundtrack so I thought you might like that.

A BOOK AND A THOUGHT

Hey everyone I wanted to share something with you all...
I have heard quite some time of the "Last Lecture". I am a little late jumping on the band wagon, but I am fully on board now. I read his book--which I am willing to share. I watched his lecture this morning. It is filled with wonderful ideas and found that he is someone I can strive to be like. The lecture itself is about 2 hrs long, so it is a bit of a time commitment, but is very much worth it. Here is the link: www.cmu.edu/uls/journeys/randy-pausch/index.html
He was on Oprah a while back and shared some of the lecture, which part is in his book as well. He gives you great ideals to live by.

cake decorating

hey all I thought I would let you all know that I made it thru the first week of cake decorating. I made a cute cake with "the cow jumped over the moon" as the theme. I turned out pretty well, my thought was to take a picture and post it but I got tired of the cake smell before my camera was charged for the picture so I had to throw it away. My camera is now charged and will be ready for the cupcake fiasco next week. I am attaching a picture of a cake that looks like the one I made. All except I used a star tip to fill in the cow, moon, and stars--oh and I did not write happy birthday dawson.

A new thought and A story

I have found that I love this thought, especially after this week. I have been at work by myself while my co-worker was at home sick. I have been over-worked and upset at the secretary because she chose not to re-schedule patients. Now I know it is not her fault, but I do love to blame her!

Ok now for the story...Most are familiar with the legendary university parkway exit that I have a love hate relationship with. I was just moving to the love side--after some extensive re-paving of the road--when all of the sudden school started. I now count myself lucky to be alive. I am almost hit appx 4 times on my way to work and at least that many times coming home from work. People get off the exit and try to get clear to the other side in .1 seconds. I am amazed that there are very few accidents. Well, I was pleased that there was a cop there the other morning pulling these particular idots over. As I drove past UVU there was a line of cars pulled over. I was thrilled and thought that would be the end of death alley, but no...my life flashed before my eyes a few times this very morning.

We are now the BEST Bigfoot trackers in the world!

Oh come on who knew this was not a hoax. I guess there is still some great stories from it!

Christmas Adult Dinner Party

Hey family--I am working on putting together some ideas for the adult christmas dinner. I know it is early, but I am a planner and I come by it honestly and I know you all know what I mean. I have come up with a few ideas, but I am going to give you my favorite right now...THE MELTING POT. I wanted to pick a place we normally would not go on our own. This is an expensive place so if you are not up for it that is fine, just let me know. I am adding a link you can link over to their website and check out what they have and the pricing. I think it would probably be a good idea to go for the "Big Night Out". Let me know what you all are thinking.

The Time Is Just About Here!!

Hey all of you that are keeping track with me, the time is about here. I can finally go and see what is wrong with me. I am tired of feeling like so bad. Maybe I can find out why I do not have a lot of energy, my mood swings, my headaches, my loss of appetite(not so bad) among other things. I guess that is all I have to say about that right now.

Summer Is For Carnival Games

Ok everyone...the Wii carnival games rocks!! I have tried and tried to ring the bell on test your strength and I am just above macho man, but I do not quite hit the bell. They also have a smattering of other fun games such as darts, squirt the clown in the mouth, frog toss, milk can toss, ring toss and a bunch of others. I have loved the ski ball.

WICKED!!!!!!

The time has finally arrived!! I have made contact and Wicked will be in Salt Lake from April 6, 2009 to May 3, 2009. I have looked at ticket pricing and the prices range from $230-$340. Me being the crafty girl I am have found a way to get tickets from orchestra seating at $144 to balcony seating at $54. That is right you read it right! I also get to order early for best seating. I will have to know by the end of August if people want to go, but if you do let me know. The days may be limited as to what I can chose--I will let you know when I know the dates.

MY SUMMER PURCHASE

Hey everyone I thought I would share that I made an excellent summer purchase today. I know you are all thinking I am putting a pool in my backyard, but that is not it I am not sure what I would do with all of the left over room, so I am going to leave that for now. I am however the proud owner of a snow cone machine. This is not just for kids, well maybe it is, but I am going to be a happy camper sitting in the shade of my house in the backyard chillin in the lounge chair and eating a snow cone!

A FEW PICS OF THE PHOTO SHOOT THIS PAST WEEKEND

Photography Class

Hey everyone! A new something is dad and I have been taking a photography class. Last class I took a picture of our teacher in a dark class room and this is how it turned out...



I thought I had figured some things out. He taught us how to take pictures in low light and how to adjust our exposure compensation and just look what happened...



You can compare the image to the previous one on the blog and see how much I have improved! And yes, this is the correct color although just a bit blurry.

THOSE CRAZY CANADIANS

Those Canadians make me laugh!! I saw this sign and I have been laughing at it since.

My Weekend Project

Hey everyone i thought I would show you all what I have been working on this weekend. I decided that my clock wall was bare, so I fixed it. I added a little dark brown paint, made some picture frames out of baseboards and painted them black, and threw on some beige lettering, it says time does softly sweetly glide. The pictures do not do justice at how cute it is--you all will have to come to my house to see it.

OK LET'S TRY THIS AGAIN

Alright everyone against better judgement, I again will dedicate a section to my boys!!! I love this picture because I hate Scola!! Sock it to 'em boys and let us be finished with the Rockets on Tuesday!! GO JAZZ!

A STUDENT AGAIN

Hey everyone, Stacie reminded me last night that I have not told everyone that I am going to go to school in August. It is back on again and this time it is final--I have official said yes! So surprise to everyone and I will be better at keeping you all updated!

A Dedication

Just a quick dedication to Andre Kirilenko...What a guy!! Who knew that he would come up big for the team. Good luck to the Jazz--I think they are going to sweep.

LAST NIGHT

Hey Everyone I had a lot of fun last night with the girls! Grandma sure is a bunch of entertainment is she not. I wonder if she was happy that she ran home to watch the Jazz game, I know that I would not be if I was her. I am going to grandmas tomorrow after work, so I just may see some of you all there.

It has been a while

Hey everyone I just wanted to say a few words because it has been a while since I have written anything. Grandma and I wanted to see the bucket list or "wish" as grandma likes to call it. So going to the movie with grandma is a lot of fun, especially if you bring her chocolate covered raisins to keep her occupied during the movie. I told her it was for sure worth the dollar we paid to get in. She can not wait for dinner this week!

powerful video

Hey everyone I just wanted to give you a link called 99 balloons. This is an amazing story by a father with a child with a birth defect. My co-worker and I came across this video and we both were in tears. This might not touch you the same way, but definately worth watching.

I totally own the road

Seriously--WHY??

No School For Me

So everyone who is interested...it is official! I will not be going to school, they did fire the guy I worked with. It was a sad day--although I did not get a long with him very well, it was still a sad situation. My work hours are going to change...I will keep you updated as I get more info.

WORK!!!

Hey every one I thought I would give you a quick update about my job...the co-worker I have previously talked about on this blog is now about to be fired. The reason this is important to you all, maybe, is because that would make us a sonographer short and I would be unable to go to school this coming year as planned. I am still not sure how I feel about this, but if they do fire him it will be the end of this week. I will then have to work on school later. I will keep you all posted.

Work

Well, as many of you know I work with a serious slacker! We were laughing at work today because that slacker was all over doing the exams today, why you may ask...he brought his son to work today. Another co-worker asked me what I thought about it and I said I wished that everyday was bring your son to work day!

I am not sure

I am seriously not sure why this makes me laugh so much but I came across this quote...

At some point, hanging in there just makes you look like an even bigger loser.

Great Talk

Here is the link to the website and I hope that you all enjoy it as much as I do! http://www.gapages.com/eyrinhb1.htm

Hawaiian Vacation

Hey everyone I wanted to do a little update on the Hawaiian vacation!

I miss the humidity of the islands, it seems as every inch of skin is now falling off of me because it does not have enough moisture in it. Wow, you give yourself a little moisture for a couple of weeks and all of the sudden your skin thinks it needs and deserves it. I also miss the coconut syrup pancakes in the morning and guava ice cream and coconut guava mango shave ice. I added a few of my favorite pictures of the trip.

HERE I AM

Well, hello everyone I am joining the BLOGGIN' world. I decided to join with the family, I guess you can call me the bridge jumper
