My Favorite Things

So Mindi tagged me.... here is how it got started...

Tanya Purcell came up with a great idea. Here is her idea:Whenever Oprah does her ‘Favorite Things’ show, I am always curious about the things she chooses and why. The best part of her ‘Favorite Things’ show is that she shares them with others! Well, the other day I thought to myself, “I don’t have to be Oprah to have ‘Favorite Things’. I started to think about the day to day things that I have or use that bring me some form of enjoyment. I thought it would be interesting to find out the ‘Favorite Things’ of my friends and family too. So here it goes…If money were not an issue and you wanted to load up a basket of your most ‘Favorite Things’ and give it to your friends, what would you choose and why? During your day to day life, are there things that you use each day that make you smile or feel good? Is there something that you look forward to everyday? It can be something simple, like the type of pen you use or something big like the type of car you drive. I will list my ‘Things’ and then I will tag a few of you to do the same thing. here they are in no particular order...

My Got2 B Hair glue---- It keeps my hair just right and it doesn't move ALL day long!!! Just a little spray here and a little spray there!! I even got my mom and some of my sisters hooked on it!

My Polaroid a801 Camera... It takes great pictures and I try to take a few every once and a while so people know what I am up too!!!

My Crock-Pot---- I now can my really yummy soups and with it being really cold outside its perfect... My favorite is Cheesy Potato!!!! Sounds good now!

My 2005 Ford Escape... I love it!!! Its great in the snow, gets good gas milage for my many trips to SLC, and can fit a whole bunch of STUFF..... My far one of my best purchases!!!!!

Here are just a few of my favorite things.... I can get a picture of my bed... So thats what else I would add!!!!

Now I tag----Melanie, Andrea, Roni

Busy Busy..

Well besides the fact of working everyday, this week and weekend is going to be very busy!!! But I guess I shouldn't complain too much about it.... This weekend I leave to go to Midway with my sisters, aunts and Grandma for a girls weekend, then I will come back for a little get together at the Normans to celebrate Shelly being lukemia free for a year and then work Monday and then leave Monday night to drive with Jennise and Olivia to El Paso.... Yay for road trips!!! It will be fun so wish me luck!! But this is how I am looking at it!!!

El Paso for a week in 70 degree weather out of the snow, AND no work... Its a win win situation any way you look at it and I can't complain about driving!!!! Yipeeeeee!

What was I doing 10 years ago? I was in Middle School in that aquired stage trying to find out if I was cool or not..... Middle School was not so fun for me!

What are 5 things on my to-do list? 1. Feel Better and try to work through the pain and pass these dumb kidney stones. 2. Go to the gym atleast 4 times a week. 3. Keep my room cleaner. 4. Wash my car. 5. Plan my lesson for Sunday

What would I do with a Billion dollars? The way I am feeling right now--- have every test done in the world too see what is wrong with me, have surgery to take the pain away, save-- and give money to my family.

3 of my bad habits: Too much TV, Thinking my house always has to be spotless, Getting worked up over nothing...

5 places I have lived: El Paso, Rexburg, El Paso, Mesa, Logan-- I guess thats only 4

Things people don't know about me: I try too hard to please people, I am way too hard on myself, I try to handle pain way too long before I will take medicine, I miss El Paso way too much!

I Tag---- Mindi, Kelsey, Andrea

A little bit scary last night....

Well last night it was a little scary for me because I went to the Instacare with pain in my lower right abs--- so they did blood test and X-rays and then sent me over to the Hospital through the ER for a CT scan.. All signs pointed towards Appendicitis-- and needless to say I was a little worried.... After I had the scan I waited and the Dr called me back to let me know that after the CT scan they had found nothing and she would give me some pain medicine to dull the pain and hopefully it would be something that would go away on its own.... So I went home and a few minutes later the Dr called me at home to let me know the radiologist read the scan wrong and I have KIDNEY STONES--- so to go back to the Instacare and she would give me some more medicine and hopefully I would pass them ALL... Yeah so anyways I am alive--- but just kind of in alot of pain--- HOpefully this medicine kicks in soon! :)So much for the SuperBowl-- I think I made it to the point of Jordan Sparks seeing the National Anthem that was about it!

Wow is all I have to say....

Ok so my sister Kristin has just sent me this picture of my family back in 1998... and Boy is it a beauty!!!! I can't believe that I used to think I was hott!!!! And to the naked eye you might think I just have lipstick on my teeth but let me assure you that it is indeed not and that I am really just missing a tooth.... and not even a baby one at that.... They only thing good I can say about it is that I love it because it was probably our last family picture with Kenneth here and so I do love it because of that!!!! COme on leave the comments I want to hear em'!!!!
