EVERYONE DO IT!

Here are the rules:
1. Link to the person that tagged you, and post the rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 random and/or weird facts about yourself.
3. Tag 7 random people at the end of your post, and include links to their blogs.
4. Let each person know that they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

Well it's late and I am REAL tired thanks to three young ladies who kept me out all night chattin' it up over yummy Carrabbas soup and salad. I will try and come up with something.

1. First and foremost I dial 9-1-1 like ten times a day whenever I hear a wierd noise or if Sunny is barking. See, first I dial in the numbers and then I put my finger on the talk button just in case I need to use in a real emergency.

2. I have dreams about men EVERY night of the week. Don't worry Jason knows this. I am not kidding when I say everynight. I am happily married and they're never anything to tell the bishop about.

3. I have beat several grown men in burping contests. I actually am proud to admit this. Anyone who can burp this loud should feel proud to show it off. Again Jason knows this and says it is nothing to be proud of.

4. I have nostrils that are the size of the Grand Canyon when I flair them. (something jason begs me not to do)

5. I hate going to bed at night. Most nights around 11:30 you will find me opening something salty with a dip in front of Oprah or anything else I may have Tevo'd. (Something else Jason thinks is just an excuse to not go to bed with your spouse at night like "most normal couples.")

6. I never wore shorts or skirts in jr or high school cause I thought my legs were too skinny and i never wore a braid because I thought my head looked to big.

7. I still like playing MASH with myself. You know the game mansion, apartment, shack or house? I like to make the swirl and count up all the loopdiloop things. Remember Jayne how we would make up randon categories just to make MASH better like... 2 kid names you want to have and 2 kid names you wouldn't want. Can you think of any other ones we made up?

Okay those are just 7, i know i could think of 70 X7 more if i wasn't so tired.

I tag everyone on my list to the right. Yes you! Now do it.

jayne don't forget to include your tailbone scam when we were kids in bed.

Excuse my "not blog savviness".

I had no idea that at the bottom of my blog page there was a life size picture of Jason, Alexis and I. I will try and get it off.

We ate at one of our new favorite restaraunts tonight with Carey and Tyler and the Hambrechts. It was so fun and yummy! It is called Archie's. It is Thai. This reminds me, maybe I will list my favorite restaraunts.
I would like to know. Do any of you have words that you never know if you spell right? My word is restaraunt. I am confused whenever i type it. Here is my list and maybe some extra info on each place. If this list provides any happiness for you later then thank me.

1. Archi's (Thai)
2. Masala Mantra ( Indian) no one is EVER in there so please go support it because it is delicioso. Get the Tikka Masala.
3. Cafe Rio Salad of course pork-everything on it minus the pico and cilantro-ranch on side.
4. PF CHangs of course. Lettuce wraps and Kung Pao Chicken, and Salt and Pepper Prawns
5. Kabob Palace Chicken or Steak Kabob and get the greek Salad with it and not the rice.
6. Paymon's (Greek) Bruchetta salad
7. Bajio the Green Chile Salad
8. Grape Street Cafe (Filet MIgnon here is soooo good)
9. Parowan Cafe (crispy chicken Salad)
10. Prime at the Bellagio
11. Charlie Palmer in the Four Seasons
12. Biaggios' I have been here once but dang it is yummy!

THE BEST IDEA

I suggest you all click on "Jill" on my people i stalk list and look at her Thanksgiving post. It is probably her first posting. This is my other sis Jen's in laws who do this and all my Maryland sibs are part of it. Doesn't it look fantastic. Isn't her house and yard amazing too.

Not for the faint of heart

Traveling Barf...
Well let's see who will get struck next....
First it was Alexis on Saturday, then me on Monday, then Mitchell on Tuesday and Camille this morning. Well that leaves Natalie, Jason, Jenn, Ma and Pa and now Jayne without the barf bug. Who will it strike next? My bets are with Jenn. However I feel bad for her, because we ate Cafe Rio today, soooo that means if she barfs, then she will never be able to eat there again. Luckily she lives in Maryland and would be 3000 miles away from the Cafe Rio temptation. I am sorry that I had to gross any reader out about the word barf. Is there any prettier way to put it?

Okay, it is time to post again. I have been slacking on this. I have been getting tagged by people everywhere, but I just haven't gotten around to doing this. Suzy tagged me last so I will do hers...
6 things about me...

1. I also don't want a pet. Never have, never will, but the funny thing is is that I have one. I do actually like her though.

2. I love to travel. Jason even loves it more than me. We are always daydreaming about our next trip somewhere. We have been to Europe 4 times, Hawaii a couple of times, and lot's of other places here in the USofA. Our real family goal is to go live in England for 1 year while our kids are little. I LOVE Germany, England and Paris. I am not sure this love of traveling would have surfaced had I not married Jason. That is literally all he thinks about. Our Tevo is full of travel shows.

3. I have never missed 1 episode of the Bachelor, much to dad's chagrin. Sorry pop's to let you down, but as long as that show is on, I will be it's number one fan. Thanks Jill, for letting me see just how cute Brad is. I really like him, and I hope he doesn't pick DeAnna. The best part is when Jason hears me talking about how much I like him and he quietly reminds me it's a TV show and then asks me "what would you say if there was a camera right in your face."

4. I kick bootie at Wheel of Fortune. I even got the bonus puzzle with NOOOOOOOOO letters. That is right, no letters. Jason is my witness. That is the day I became his Wheel Idol. The category was Place and it said _ _ _ _ _ _ . I said DUblin, and sure enough it was Dublin. Rock on me. My whole family is awesome at it.

5. I like to read books that REALLY grab me. About one book in two I finish. If I am not sucked in immediately, bye bye book. Under the bed you go. However some books that I LOVE are... The Red Tent, Water for Elephants, Glass Castle, Secret Life of Bees, Dr. Laura and Living a Covenant Marriage.

6. I have the best mom, ma in law, sisters and sister in laws. THose 8 are the best folks I know. THEY are NEVER are wierd, freaky, moody, selfish or mean. THey aren't insecure or judgemental. They don't hold grudges, they compliment each other ALL the time, they do what is right and don't try and bend rules. They all make me feel cool for driving a mini van, even Jayne does who doesn't even have one "yet". They might think this is a little gay though, but I speak the truth. Oh yeah, and all the men aren't too shabby either.
That is me and I tag, Jennie, jayne, kelley, jenn, Holly and Megan

Last year with Santa

And the HUGS continue and Santa sighting

Well that last few days Alexis has taken a strong liking to electrical outlets. SHe looks at me, points to the outlet and says "HUG"? I say "NOOOOOOO, that is very dangerous?" SHe says "Kiss" followed by my even bigger, scarier "nooooooooooo, it will bite you". Then she says "Hug wall?" Then I say, "okay you can hug the wall. Than she starts hugging the wall(imagine it if you can.) and she slowly starts sliding her cheek down the wall to get nearer to the outlet. Should I be worried. Any suggestions? She must do this like 5 times a day right now.
SHe is also climbing the chair to get to the kitchen island. Then she has to get the big salt shaker and hug it. She loves salt, so she TRIES to be very discrete and starts licking the salt from the top. THen she has to hug the pepper mill.

Well, embarrasing moment. She and I were at El Pollo Loco today, and standing behind us in line was an older man, with short white hair. No beard no huge belly, just some whiteish hair. She starts looking behind my shoulder saying "Santa?" I said what and she kept repeating it. WHen i realized what she was saying I saw that others heard it too. I didn't no what to do. I even started turning the total opposite direction, but to my embarrassment, she just kept saying it. Finally I just had to turn to the guy and say "She thinks you are Santa" He was a little shocked. He was nice though. He told me that this country is so rediculous , when people don't let their kids believe in Santa. We became friends.
This happened the other day in Taco Bell. Only this time this was the Santa who works at the Fashion Show mall. ( he later told us) She spotted him, and would not stop standing in her high chair saying his name across the restaraunt. SHe kept asking to touch santa. WHen we were leaving , i told the man, that my daughter thought he was Santa. Then he told me to tell her that he would visit her. In front of him she wanted to touch him again, and kiss him, so he gave her a high five and told us to go visit him at the Fashion Show Mall. He was soooo dang sweet!

My answers

Now to answer the questions since I have had time to think of them.....
Why do I stay up so late at night?
I have a short term memory as to how the morning feels when it comes at 8:00am, yes you heard it 8am.

Why don't I have the body of the blonde chick on Dancing with the Stars or her long hair? Somethings gotta give, you can't have her sexy dance moves and really expect the great hair and amazing body too.

Why do I have a messy car all the time? Lazy, and I swear I always think, " i will probably need this the next time I drive". Maybe that is why I left the Beef Jerky piece in the back of the van, that jayne told me made my car smell like a toilet. i thought i might get hungry

Why did I eat a ding dong and half of a Ben and Jerry's one hour ago at 10pm? Lately I have NO self control when it comes to eating. jay and i were eating 5 veggies a day and 4 fruits for our health. He is still doing, i quit after 4 or 5 days. I crave chocolate like mad lately.

Why did I try and make Alexis put on her shirt making her mad, cry and turn blue and almost stop breathing and give me a heart attack? She couldn't go to bed naked, and she wanted to see just how hard I would blow in her face to snap her out of it.

Why is my hallway full of sheets and towels and blankets for the 4th day in a row making us step over and on them all day long? I decided today that I would organize my hall closet and NOW ALL of our towels, and sheets are in the hallway, and I have no immediate plans to fix it.

why are mom and dad going to Maryland tomorrow and not me? Because they are lucky

Why are all my sisters going to new york this month and not me? Because they stink!

Why did I get the empty bottle of mascara from Target when I am truly out? I know why. Target is just testing me to see if I will return it and use my 2 times a year ID return thing. I am so tempted, but for $6.

Why does Jason like me? Cause he has to and because I moved the furniture around today.

Why does John Layne hate when me and Jayne talk on the phone? Because we act like we are in 4th grade. ANd we just make fun of whoever is in the room putting lots of words in their mouth and thoughts in their head. We are actually really good and usually right on.

Why do me and Jayne bug so many people when we get together. Ask dad why he threatened to spank us if we didn't stop laughing in the car when we were young. It goes way back.

Why does Mitch take it upon himself to hurt us silly when we are being dorks?(remember the last shake you got Jayne?) I think it is worth it, just to read jayne's comment on last nights posting. I haven't laughed that hard in months, I almost started crying. That was so freaking funny!

WHY ASK WHY????

I don't know.

Stay tuned tomorrow I will answer these questions after I have the night to think about them?

Alexis' Nursery

Hugging machine

Well i think i will talk about Alexis now. She is the cutest thing. Her new thing is necking. She wants me to kiss her neck a million times a day. Everynight when I lay her in bed I have to lean over the bars and kiss her, then hug, then kiss her neck, and repeat about three times. My ribs are sore everytime i leave the room from bending over the bars a million times. It's worth it though.
She wants to hug and kiss everyone, and everything ALL the time. Just today she had to hug... a ghost hanging on someones tree, Some rod iron shelf that has a bird attached to it, Elder Uchtdorf on TV.( SHe actually tried reaching up to hug him on the TV) THe best is when she looks at herself in the mirror and likes what she sees so she insists on hugging herself in the mirror. Try it and you will see just how cute her bent crooked arms hit the mirror trying to hug herself. El Pollo Loco is where most of her fans are. A few weeks ago, i looked at her as she and I were having lunch and I noticed her trying to wink at someone. I turned around to find a Garbage man winking and flirting with her and she was doing it back. It was really cute. The same guy was there just last week.
She has to blow kisses to everyone as we leave any restaraunt. It's pretty funny.

Okay, I had a request to put her nursery pictures on my blog and I won't refuse it. I must say I AM PROUD of her nursery! It was my project when she was in the hospital for 3 months. I needed something to be excited and hopeful about. I will try and put the pics up.

Thanks Megan, and MOMS ARE ALWAYS RIGHT

Well thanks Megan for reading my blog. Now I have to keep up. There is nothing worse than checking out someones blog just to see what you saw yesterday(or thirty minutes ago). After I read my comments i just stare at the computer wondering what the freak do i do next. Can you respond to comments? DO you have to email the commenter to comment? I need training. Who is usually up at this late hour that can train me? Looks like Megan is up late. Jayne is up late to, but usually when we get on the computer over the phone it just starts the blog hunting or website checkin' outing all over again.

On to other things. I know it is the sabbath, but I sewed tonight and I watched Desperate Housewives. I admit I have only seen parts of that show once before. It's actually pretty entertaining, but when jason entered the room, I would quickly press pause. HE DIDN'T approve. I think i was trying to get back at him for watching football tonight. Anyways, I think I will be fine to not watch that show again. I did watch the last 20 minutes of extreme house makeover and I LOVED THAT HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT is my style. The style I want to slowly change in to. A little more sophisticated than my shabby chiccy shab. I loved the black and white stripes and backsplash. Jason loved it too. He is WANTING a change in our house. Not many guys could blame him I guess.
Back to the sewing story, I am very late in getting my two great friends (twins nicki, and anni) their baby gifts. I sewed them cute burpcloths. Well, i just kept thinking "i know it is sunday, but i just want these done!!!!!!, please machine work, work and don't quit on me now." Well, lo and behold i started on the sixth one, my last, and of course, here starts the problems. Something is going on that will need my moms attention. She is VERY busy, so now it will probably delay these darn burpcloths till the weekend. I should have listened to my mom tonight when she said "we don't sew on Sunday." But Marjorie Hinckley hemmed a dress on sunday once. Was that blasphemous? I am not comparing myself to her, really? Always listen to mom. I even thought she was crazy tonight, when in fact I was crazy. She said that I said on Friday night that I was going to make mashed potatoes tonight for our family dinner. I swore on my life those words never came out of my mouth. Well the witnesses said they did, and then I started to remember. Woah! I was to involved in my halloween costume Friday night to actually process what I said. Needless to say, mashed potatoes were not to be found when we got together. Of course MOM saves the day and makes some out of my box flakes. sorry mom! She was right again!

maybe I am not all that gung ho on doing the blog. Especially because no one even knows I have a blog. Why am I doing this? Just for me to read what I wrote? BORING!

Why am i so nervous to write something. I know why. IT IS BLOG PRESSURE. I haven't felt this much pressure in a loooonnnngggg time. I am actually kind of sick to my stomach right now. After blog stalking(stole that phrase from Suzy) so many hundreds of blogs I can see the competition is HUGE!!!! I don't think I will ever be able to keep up with my friend Jennie's. I check hers like 3 times a day and Jason thinks that is just plain psycho! I admit, I am addicted to other peoples' blogs. Maybe that is the reason I don't feel the need to really keep mine up. At this point I am more involved in other peoples lives than my own. Isn't that sad? This is why I will start it up for real now. Alexis deserves to have her face plastered all over blog land and who knows, maybe Yo'Baby yogurt will finally find the yogurt face they have been waiting for, meanwhile making her rich. Then she will be able to go to BYU(because Yo'Baby will offer a scholarship) and see all the other bloggers' children there with her. At that point she will know who they are because her crazy mommy made us look at blogs for Family Home Evening her whole life.

Welcome to my first day of blogging. I have no clue what i am doing here. I don't really even want to blog except to just fit in a little more! I just want to have a template to play around with and make pretty. That is seriously why I am here. Just to make a pretty blog. Maybe once it is pretty I will also use it for other things. Enjoy.
Now on to figuring out how to get my blog pretty!
I hate the font choices, how do I change that!
