First of all, I'd like to apoligize that none of my pictures ever work. I try so hard to make them work and they never do. So, you all probably look at what was supposed to be a joke and think that I am some what crazy. Well, just to console you, I am.
I just wanted to let you all know that I offically consider summer started. I don't feel like it is summer until I have a motorcycle ride. Well, I got my ride yesterday. It was awesome! So welcome summer everyone!!!

Tagged by fives
Alright, so Kim tagged me a week or so ago. I finally have time to respond.
Five things on my to do list:
1- Respond to this tag
2- Eat dinner
3- Get wedding presents for all 500 people I know getting married. (Ok, it is only 6 or 7 but it feels like 500. ;-p)
4- Find out where Rachel is going on her mission.
5- Make plans for all of my free time now that school is done for the summer.
Five snacks I love:
1- Chocolate
2-Sugar snap peas
3- Chocolate
4- Blue Cocoanut Cream Slushes from Sonic. So sad that there isn't one in Vernal :-(
5- Chocolate
Five things I will never wear again:
1- Big poofy bows in my hair
2- Permed hair (my hair doesn't hold it and I don't like to have to use a lot of product. It is straight from here on out.)
3- Two or three layers of socks outside of my tightly rolled up jeans. One good thing about that is that my feet were never cold. (I do still wear layers of socks when participating in snow activites but they are well hidden by my boots.)
4- A size 6. Ok, so I don't know that I was ever a size 6 but I will never wear it again.
5- Stirup pants. I used to think they were so cool. Now I just think that they would pull my pants down. That would be awkward.
Five things I would do if I were a billionaire:
1- I would fill up my passport. I once met a man who had been to all but about 3 countries. I thought that would be the coolest thing. I would do it.
2- Buy a house.
3- Buy a very nice fully loaded truck. I don't know what kind yet because I don't currently have the money to buy a truck so I don't look. It makes me sad. Who knows, I might even buy two trucks.
4- I would invest a lot of it and bring a Sonic and a Pita Pit to Vernal so I could go there and eat, if I didn't move out of Vernal. That is sad to think that I would stay here if I were a billionaire.
5- I think that I would put an olympic sized swimming pool in my back yard and make it so I can enclose it so I can go swimming in the winter.
Five bad habits (I don't know if I want to share any of these because they make me look odd.):
1- Telling people exactly what I think even if it isn't very nice. I guess that you could say that I am not very tactfull.
2- Eavesdropping. I love to listen to other peoples conversations and then comment on them, but not loud enough for them to hear.
3- I don't put my laundry away as soon as it is done. It can take me 2 to 3 days to get around to doing it.
4- I eat candy and write notes in church. But we have already discussed this one.
5- I will come up with just about anything to get out of doing homework. I procrastinate until the very end. There is a song that talks about having better things to do then crying over this boy. I feel that way about homework. I always have better things to do. It is kind of funny because it goes something like this: I've got better things to do, wash my car in the rain, change my new guitar stings, mow the lawn just the same as I did yesterday. It sounds dumb but I would much rather do those things then my homework.
Five of my favorite toys...Nostalgics:
1- My Puffalump
2-Barbies. I think that when my niece gets a little older I will have to play with her.
3-"My Child" Dolls. I had a boy one. I named him Shane because I had a crush on a boy named Shane when I had it. He ended up a little wild, ok, a lot wild. Sad. He was such a cute five year old. Plus they had a cute little tattoo on their butts. It was fun.
4- The dirt ravines around our house. I know that they aren't toys but I had as much fun with them as I had with most of my toys.
5- Gumball machines. I had a little one. I recently thought that it would be fun for me to get one to have when the nieces and nephews come. They think that the gumballs are just balls. No one has told them the truth yet....haa haa haa. I'm sure their parents would love me. ;-)
I am supposed to tag five people I guess. So, I tag Julia, Kristin, Amanda, Dave, and Amber. Yes Dave and Amber, I am tagging both of you.

Chickens
When I was a kid, we had chickens. My dad would chop their heads off. I don' t know how many of you have seen a chicken with its head chopped off, but it is a very grusome thing. They flap around for a while and land somewhere out in the weeds. I had the job of finding the chicken when it was done flapping around. And some of you wonder what is wrong with me....
Because you can't really read it , this says, Oh yeah, define well adjusted.
Because you can't really read it , this says, Oh yeah, define well adjusted.
I haven't posted for a while so I decided to write some. Ok, the truth is that I have been doing homework for the last three days straight and my brain hurts so I decided to rest it. So, if this doesn't make a lot of sense or if my spelling and grammer are awful, remember, my brain hurts!
I've decided to do a couple of things.
1- I am going to share some things that I am greatful for.
The first thing that I am greatful for is that I get to continually learn new things. There is so much knowledge in the world, so many amazing new things to learn, and so many opportunties to learn them that I am greatful to have to chance to be there for it.
The second thing that I am greatful for is that I only have two more weeks of school for the semester. With all that there is to learn, sometimes I like not having to have structured learning. I am counting down the days until this school year is over.
2- One of the class that I am taking this semester is stress management. (Funny thing about this class, it is my most stressful class in a very long time.) The text book has a variety of ways to reduce your stress. It also discusses why we are the way we are and why we get stressed while giving different therapy options. One of the therapies that it discusses is Humor Therapy. As I was reading this chapter I thought to myself, "Self, this is great! I always feel better after a good laugh." So, I decided to try it out. I don't know how religious I am going to be about this but I am going to try to post jokes and humorous things on my blog to help provide therapy to everyone that feels inclined to read it.
So, here is the joke of the moment. I got it from my text book, Managing Stress, fifth edition, Brian Luke Seaward.
Famed fictional detective Sherlock Holmes and his gruff assistant Dr. Watson pitch their tent while on a camping trip. In the middle of the night, Holmes nudges Watson to wake him up.
Holmes: Watson, look up at the stars and tell me what you deduce.
Watson: I see millions of stars. And if there are millions of stars, even if a few of those have planets, it is quite likely there are some planets like earth. And if there are a few planets like earth, then indeed, there might be intelligent life, much like our own, Sir.
Holmes: Watson, you idiot, someone stole the tent!

shoes
So, a lot of you have said that you wanted to see my cute new shoes. Well, I still haven't taken the time to figure out the pictures. I've decided that this just might have to be a pictureless blog. Boring I know but that is how it goes. However, if you type in El Naturalista into your search they will come up. They are the Iggdrasil Mary Janes. Sorry I don't have an exact site for you. I'm having issues getting that to. You would think that I don't know how to use a computer. Frustrating. Oh well. If I had more time I could figure it out but I have other things I should be doing. Also, they aren't the clogs. They have a heel to them. But I love them. They are very comfortable. I think that I will buy more of this brand if the occassion ever happens that I need some more shoe therapy. :-)
I'm a slacker
Ok, so I have been tagged multiple times and I haven't done anything about it. Well, today I am feeling a little bit guilty. So, in an effort to appease my conscious I decided to respond to some of those tags. I don't remember what they all were and I'm probably not going to follow all of the rules. Most of them say I have to tag people but a lot of the people who read my blog have already been tagged. If you read this and haven't been tagged then I am tagging you. :-).
The first one is to grab the book nearest to you and go to page 123 then look at the fifth sentance and type the next three sentances. I'm just warning you, the only thing that I read right now is text books and the scriptures. So, the book closest to me....
Because of athe complexity of anxiety, several types of therapy exist to help people overcome specific fears and phobias. Although no therapy holds dominance over another, what they all have in common is the premise that the fear must be confronted at some level. Using a pure psychoanalytical approach (Freud's approach), attention is focused on uncovering childhood experiences (e.g. child molestation) that have been suppressed or repressed in the unconscious mind and are thought to be the cause of the anxiety.
That comes from the fifth edition of Managing Stress, Principles and Strategies for Health and Well-Being by Brian Luke Seaward.
So, although it isn't as exciting as some of the three sentences that I have read from your blogs, it is educational. :-)
The next one is to write 7 random facts about yourself.
1- I shouldn't drive. I get so upset at people who are bad and/or slow drivers that I shouldn't drive. I'm not nearly so bad when I am a passenger.
2- I hate being the passenger. I like to be the one driving, especially if we are going long distances. I get really bored as a passenger. Plus, I know a lot of really scary drivers. I would much rather have their life in my hands then my life in theirs.
3- I snore. Not all the time, just when I am sleeping in weird possitions. I discovered this a couple of months ago. I was snowmobiling with my dad, Uncle Walt, and Derek. I had just started my new job and was exhausted. Plus there was a lot of powder and no base and the machine I was on wasn't the best, Dad, Uncle Walt, and Derek had those. So, I wore out fast. So, I stopped and took a nap on my sled while the boys played. I woke myself up three times from snoring. Not cool. But I haven't done it since. ;-)
4- I love spring! I love everything about it. I love that it is warm enough to wear just a sweatshirt but not so warm that your dripping just walking outside. I love that it starts to get light by the time I leave my house in the morning. I love that it is light when I get off at night. I love the green and all the flowers. I love the rain storms. I love spring. It makes me happy.
5- I'm an awful person to watch movies with. I cry, I comment, I ask questions, I scream. I have a really hard time just sitting and watching the movie. Sometimes it isn't bad but other times I've had people threaten to not watch movies with me anymore. It is sad. The worst part is that I don't realize that I am doing it until after I have done it. I just get really into movies. Funny story, I went and saw Spiderwick with some of the girls that I work with. It can be kind of an intense movie. One part of the movie had me kind of scared. I knew something was coming. (One thing that everyone should know about me before I continue, I don't do scary movies. I will have nightmares for months if I watch them. But this was a kids movie and not that scary.) Anyway, something did come and I wasn't as ready for it as I thought I was. I screamed. Loud. In the middle of the theatre. Everyone I was with laughed at me. It was kind of embarassing.
6- I love Cadbury mini eggs. They are my absolute favorite. I buy 3-4 bags of them every easter. It may not seem like a lot but if it is. If I bought any more I would weigh 500 pounds. You would have to roll me to the store to buy more. One year, it might have been last year I don't remember, I found a 7 pound bad at Sam's Club. I was so excited. But because it was so big, that is the only bag of them I would let myself buy that year. Sad. I probably bought more then I should have this year.
7- I have the attention span of a 2 year old at church. I know this because I have a neice and a nephew who are two and my attention runs out about the same time that theirs does. So, I bring things to entertain myself. I write notes to people sitting next to me. I bring candy to munch on. And if the meeting goes over, I want to lay on the floor and kick and scream because things aren't going my way. It is really bad. The problem is that it seems to be getting worse as I get older. Sometimes I wonder if I have Adult ADD. Hmm.... So, if I ever go to church with you, I'll try to act like an adult but I am warning you in advance.
There you are. My conscious is appeased. I will try to be better in the future but am not promising a whole lot. But feel free to keep tagging me. This was fun. Sorry it is so long.
