My Mom Will Prolly Dis-Own Me For This........

but it's a chance I am willing to take. I just feel weird. I haven't actually gained any weight (says the scale), but I am starting to feel claustrophobic in my body. So I gutted my house of all unnecessary junk. This includes a tub of frosting from the fridge, and all the leftover b-day cake frosting, including the roses. It was liberating I tell you. I kept all the chocolate, though. No need to get too crazy yet. I'm going to keep a food journal and step it up at the gym. We'll see what happens.

Our Thanksgiving was good. We went to my mom and dad's house and ate and played games. I made 2 kick-A chocolate pies thanks to Emirl and Paula Dean. I must say, I am a pretty good cook. I haven't made anything gross. Ever. Except that stupid thing I tried from Rachel Ray. It sucked. But it wasn't me it was the recipe. Thanks, Rach.

And I think I have a small crush on Taylor Swift. She is so stinkin cute!

Poor little Amy C. Idiot. She should have voted stupid Vicky off when she had the chance. And how classy of Vicky to drop the f-bomb in front of Steve Young and Jerry Rice. I can't freakin stand her!!! Even if she loses 100 elbees she will still be ugly.

I want to get started on my gifts early this year, so I need everyone to get me thier shoe sise A-SAP!




So, I got a letter in the mail from my therapist and she is moving her offices and it said, "See ya soon!" and I'm all , Uh, I hope not!

Ben got a ticket the other day for driving while talking on his cell phone. And not his big truck, just the normal one. So be careful out there! Now if you see a cop you have to hurry and hang up AND buckle!

29......again!

Thanks again to everyone who got me a gift for my b-day! (real or virtual) On Saturday night some fam came over for cake and ice cream. We played cards and Ben and Derrick played Madden. My sista made me a Rainbow Brite star cake and it was pretty good! Thanks, Pookie! On Sunday, Ben took me and Blake to breakfast. Griff was staying in SLC with a friend. After that we just hung out at home. It was a pretty relaxing day.

THANKFUL THURSDAY! no.1

K, I know I don't usually do things that are so mo, but I'm thankful for stuff too! This post is going to be about how I am thankful for modern medicine. Mainly Lortab, (7.5) and Percocet. Muscle relaxers are good too. I hurt my back at work the other day, and I am totally grateful that I Dr. shop. Nothing like being prepared for the worst. It's kind of like food storage. But better.

I CANNOT believe Amy voted for Colleen instead of Vicky. What a freakin idiot. I finally made it through a Biggest Loser without crying. At the end of the show when Colleen was saying her good-byes, I hear Blake sniffling behind me. I looked back at him and he was just SOBBING. I said, "Oh, are you upset?" and he goes (in a wailing, crying way), "Colleen is my favorite Biggest Loser character!" So then I start crying because he's crying and we were sitting on the floor hugging each other and crying our eyeballs out! It was a rough night.

Ben was gone working and Griff was at a friends house. Brittni came over to watch Housewives and then we watched the M&J show (some of it, gotta love DVR!) and the Office. For dinner I made a good and easy soup. An old lady was making copies of recipes at the store and I decided to make one for myself. Those old ladies have the best recipes! Here it is:

1 lb hamburger, 3 cans COM or COC soup (I used Cream of Chicken), 3-4 cans water (I used 3 1/2), 2-4 carrots-chopped, 3-4 potatoes-cubed, 1 small onion-chopped, 1/2 bag frozen peas

Brown hamburger and add soups, water and veggies. Salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally until veggies are tender.

It was delish.

I am starting to wonder if I am a kook, or if it's mostly everyone else.

For Example:

A few weeks ago, yours truly, Brittni, Ashley, my Mom, Sandra and Amber went to Gardner Village to check out the Halloween goodies they had there. Gardner Village consists of a restaurant that (to me) doesn't have that great of food, and a bunch of buildings that are little shops. None of these shops have toys in them which is why I could not figure out what the hell all the little children were doing there!!!!

While we were having dinner, there was a table next to us and it was obvious they were celebrating something, hence all the beer that was being kicked back at their table. When we got up to leave there was a little 3 year old girl sitting there with a cake in front of her and all the oldies were cheersing each other and shouting "Happy Birthday!". Now, maybe my kids are weird, but they have never asked to go there for their b-days. And I can't imagine that is what the girl picked either. Unless she is a big fan of fried green tomatoes, and salmon.

While walking around the shops, people were following their kids around with video cameras, and snapping pics left and right. They were saying things like, "Ok, sweetie poo, go sit on the bale of straw so Mamma can take your picture." Then the picture would be snapped and then you heard, "Diddums, stay right there and I'll take your movie sitting on the bale of straw. Don't move!"

Are the children enjoying this? No. Do the 'rents want to be able to say, (over tea with their pinkys up) "We took the little ones to Gardner Village. It was simply adorable. They had the best time. And, of course, sweetie poo just had to have the $120 play slip, so of course we bought it for her." (not mentioning the fact that to do so, they just maxed their cc)? Yes.

It drives me nuts! I am a big fan of GV but, come on. Let kids be kids people. And find a friend to do your grown up stuff with.

Which brings me to my next point:

Animals are animals, not people.

On a recent trip to Oceanside I was walking down to the beach. Where we were, the beach goes, ocean, sand, huge rocks. I was coming down the little ramp you go down before you get to the sand and there was a couple there, probably 50's, holding a red leash that led into the rocks. I was all , "Nice. Just let your dog crap there, sickos." As I walked by I looked to see what kind of dog they had and it wasn't a dog, it was a cat. On a leash. With a harness. So, I begin a frantic search for my camera, because I have never in my life seen something so stupid, and I don't think anyone will believe this story. Taking a cat on a walk on the beach. And of course, it's the one time I am without my camera for the whole freakin trip. I can't stop staring. Then the lady begins tugging on the leash and saying, "Here kitty, kitty, mew, mew." And I realise she is trying to get the cat to go to by the water. Now I am laughing my ass off. If any of you have tried to put a cat in the tub, it looked about the same. Except they had a leash. This cat was not having it. There is no way it was going to go in the water. So the guy picks it up, like by it's armpits and starts walking towards the water and he bends down, and tries to get the cat to splash in it with its paws. I wanted to go and ask him if he was aware he had a CAT! And the last time I checked they didn't enjoy the water. Not even a little trickle of water, let alone the OCEAN!

So I guess what I'm saying is if you want a friend, get one and spare your kid. If you want a kid, get one and spare your cat.

I just finished watching The Biggest Loser and I am so glad Amy voted Brady off I want to kiss her. I can't stand Vicky and Hebba. I would like to bang their heads together. I only like to watch that show after I have DVRd it because you can fast forward like half of it and you don't miss anything. Griff was in bed and heard the music so of course he tried to come and watch it and I told him not to even think about it. So he heads back upstairs and a few minutes later he is back with a package of Peeps and all the peanut m&ms he got from trick-or-treating. He was all, "You know you want it!" I still made him go to bed, but I have to admit it was pretty tempting. The little fart face.

Ben, Gina, Casey, and I went to Takara for some delish sushi last night. It was the Marine's Birthday, so Casey was celebrating. It was a lot of fun. I freakin love that place! Ben and Casey look so good in these pics, I couldn't decide which one to post.
