Backgrounds

So in case you haven't noticed, I get really ancy when it comes to my blog backgrounds. After several weeks, I feel like I'm going to explode if I don't change it, so bear with me folks!

Stupid Delicious Comfort Food!!!

I don't know if you've ever had this Jolly Time Mallow Magic popcorn but it'll get ya! Today I got home from a long day at work with a hankering for a little snack. Wanted something sweet, something salty.... and suddenly I find myself face to face with this popcorn. Hmmmm.... I think this will do. So I pop the pop corn and of course have to put it into a big bowl to spread the Mallow Cream all over the popped corn. There was nobody there to stop me and I ate it all!!!! Well, minus the unpopped kernels and those I even sucked all the creamy goodness off of! I'm so terrible. Now I'm stuffed as a turkey and have a bad tummy ache. If I gone to the gym with my friend (who was almost very convincing... but I was grumpy) maybe I'd have not consumed so much junk. Oh well. At least it wasn't an entire bag of Oreo's this time :)

Soft Pretzels

Yesterday I was craving a soft pretzel. The only place near my work that has them is at Target's(trust me, I've called around)food court. So yesterday I went there by myself and ordered my pretzel and sat in the middle of the seating area packed with mothers and screaming kids and ate my food and read a book. There is something about sitting all alone and reading that really makes me happy. It's liberating (not as much as skinny-dipping but that's a whole other story!!) I like to think all of those moms were jealous... it's a ridiculous concept but I'd like to think they were rather than thinking I'm super weird to come all the way to Target to eat a pretzel and a Slurpee. The moral of my story is lost on me. I can't even remember why I thought I'd share it but here it is. Take if for what it's worth....

Oh and I have some pictures and posts of the Trace Atkins and Toby Keith concert. I just have to get off my lazy caboose and download the pictures and videos. So soon to come more exciting posts and pictures!!

Bizarre Dreams....

So I just woke up and thought I'd share my weird dream. So in my dream I was next door neighbors to Lady Gaga (eccentric new pop star) and I didn't know her real name and I was so worried because I didn't want to call her Lady Gaga because often famous people want to be as normal as possible so I didn't know what to do, so I started calling her Christine.
I wonder what her real name is. I doubt we'd ever be neighbors but if we ever were, I should probably find out what her name is. Or maybe the moral if the dream is that I should meet my neighbors and learn their names. My dream is telling me to be social. Hmmmm.... I'd rather eat cookie dough.

Shopping makes me happy.....

So today I went shopping, mostly to find something for my dad's birthday coming up. I found somethings for him but I also bought some things for myself. Naturally. I bought another pair of shoes, another purse and two jackets. Last week I spent $100 dollars on jewelry. I'm running low on my savings because I keep shopping. But it makes me happy, at least I feel happier. I need to find another hobby because this one is getting to be expensive. Anyone have any suggestions? I don't know what I like to do and what my hobbies are. When anyone asks me this, I try to change the subject because I don't know the answer. So I shop. I'm on a quest to find myself and need to do somethings different. So if you have any suggestions of things I could do to make me feel happier other than shopping you're comments would be very much appreciated!

Yearbook yourself

I've seen a couple friends do this and I thought it was quite entertaining.

George Strait and Blake Shelton

I went to the George Strait concert on Friday with my mom, Gwen and Amy. We had a lot of fun. I really enjoyed the concert and the people watching after while waiting to get out of the parking lot (which took 50 minutes to do by the way!) Both George and Blake were really great. Blake Shelton opened for George. I just can't help but wonder how great it must feel to hear so many people singing along with all of your songs.

Funny story, while we were standing in a line waiting to buy a t-shirt I turned to my aunt Gwen who was in another line to tell her something and a lady behind me tapped me on my shoulder and when I looked at her she exclaimed "you're the nurse at my pediatricians office!! I could tell by your voice!" huh... that's odd. I recognized her after that and we chatted for a minute but later I couldn't help but wonder if that was a good thing or a bad thing that she recognized me by my voice. Either she calls a lot or I have a very unique voice, I had to laugh that out of the thousands of people there she recognized me not by my face but my voice. Oh Jeez!! I hope it's not an annoying voice!

July 4th Weekend

Fourth of July is one of my all time favorite holidays. I don't know exactly what it is about it that I love so much. It could be because I'm fiercely patriotic or because I love summer so much or the parades and fireworks and family and bbq's and everything that makes us American. Anyway, this year my mom and I went to the Craft fair down in Provo on the third. Got to see lots of things, bought a couple of silly things like a giant bubble maker and ate a chocolate dipped frozen banana. On the fourth I had to work so unfortunately I didn't get to go to the parade but that night I went to a friends house for a bbq and to watch fireworks. It was nice. On Sunday the fifth we had another bbq with my mom's side of the family. It was a great weekend and I can't wait until next year's Independence day.

Here are a couple pictures from the bbq on the Fourth. I didn't get too many pictures of the weekend.

Toddlers and fashion

A couple days ago this is the outfit Hailey had dressed herself in. Necklace, Pull-up and fuzzy socks that went up to her knees. I had to laugh!! She and I are best friends! I love being an aunt, it really is so great!
