In 2011...

I will always replace the gas cap before driving away from the pump
I will Brush, Floss, AND Rinse twice a day
I will exercise my smile muscles
I will sing loudly in the car
I will keep track of my phone...maybe.
I will wake up happy.
I will not press the snooze button more than three times.
I will pluck my eyebrows more.. No one likes a uni-brow.
I will read my scriptures everyday

I will take more picturesI will snowshoe, hike, camp, and enjoy the outdoors more often
I will remember that Muffin Day is on the 29th of every month
I will worry less when my house is messy and there is company.
I will pass the CPA exam.
I will play games and build blanket forts with my nieces and nephews (well, Will and Camelia might still be a little bit too young for this one)
I will weigh at least 30 lbs less on Dec. 31, 2011 than I do today.

I will have a FANTASTIC year and be optimistic about my life.

Never Ends

This is the week that never ends,

Yes, it goes on and on, my friends.

Some person woke up Sunday, not knowing what it was,

and they'll continue living it forever just because,

You get the idea

The next post will be happy, I promise.

I'm a JERK!

It has become very apparent lately from various sources that I am a jerk. I am sorry! I need to say sorry and I am much too big of a wimp to say this to people's faces so I am going to blog it.

I know that I shouldn't gossip, but I did. I am sorry. I genuinely think that the person we were talking about is a great person. I shouldn't have said anything. I'm sorry that it took reading a social media site to realize what a jerk I was being. I wish that I could go back and erase all of the things that I said, but I can't. I will try and think before I speak and make sure that what I speak is nice.

I'm sorry that I let all of my amazing friends slip through the cracks. I do not mean to ignore you. I promise. Sometimes I just feel like your lives are so much more interesting than mine and I don't want to intrude. I hope that whenever you need anything you won't hesitate to call. I will try and do better about keeping in touch.

I'm sorry that I don't keep my phone near me and pay as much attention to it as I should. I find it when I am going to bed to set my alarm and discover that somebody was trying to call or text me. I don't mean to be rude and not call or text back, it is usually just too late to do whatever it was you were planning and too late to call. I'm scum.

I'm sure that there are many more ways that I have probably offended you. I'm sorry!! I will try and do better.

I Can Do Anything Good

The Dryer was Framed!

So I was doing my laundry one day and thinking about how everyone blames the dryer for eating socks and decided that there is no way it is the dryers fault. I think a more likely suspect is the washer. Think about it, don't you agree that the washer probably ate the sock? Here's my thinking: the washer has the agitator where the sock can get stuck under or if you have one of those new-fangled washers like my mom does the sock could get stuck in the lip part of the washer. Plus, the dryer is nice and make the clothes all dry and warm and snuggly whereas the washer basically beats the dirt out of them. Yep, the dryer was framed.

It's a Beautiful Day...

It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood,

A beautiful day for a neighbor.

Would you be mine?

Could you be mine?.

I need to study, but...I procrastinate. So, I was looking up random things and happened upon a website and looked up something and came upon something else that reminded me of when I was little and would watch Mr. Rogers and came upon this delightful little page that has a bunch of songs from the show. One of my favorites that I just listened to was You Can Never Go Down the Drain isn't that just dang reassuring. I was worried. Also, this song is great, I especially like the part about riding a bicycle. 

If you want to ride a bicycle

And ride it straight and tall.

You can't simply sit and look at it

'Cause it won't move at all.

But it's you who have to try it.

And it's you who have to fall (sometimes)

If you want to ride a bicycle

And ride it straight and tall.

You've got to do it.

Every little bit

You've got to do it, do it, do it, do it

And when you're through,

You can know who did it,

For you did it, you did it, you did it.

There are some great messages that came from that show. You just can't beat Mr. Rogers. 

It really is a beautiful day in the neighborhood. Fall is definitely in the air (literally in the air because my asthma/allergies are making it so I don't get any!) The beautiful fall weather is making me want to do fall things like go on a hike up the canyon, jump in piles of leaves, wear sweaters and hats, make soup and pumpkin flavored things. YUM! 

The Delta Girls

So Mom is AWESOME and played Softball in the Huntsman Senior World Games this past weekend. I find that uploading pictures to blogger is sort of annoying and this way I only had to upload one, so click on it and zoom in. :) I dare say that Mom had one of the biggest cheering sections for her at the games (that I saw at least) Mom hit a HOME RUN, caught a long throw home as catcher to get someone out and WIN a game and did AMAZING in the outfield. She also tore her hamstring and has a pretty purple bruise. So all in all I think the weekend was successful. She did awesome and we had a lot of fun being entertained by the situation. 

They call it softball, makes it sound like it's harmless, you know. You ever take a line shot to the face with a softball? You don't go "Hey, that's Downy Soft. That was like a big ball of cotton! Hey, don't worry about that! That's Blood Light! We're playing softball, we're all going to float around like angels!"- Brian Regan
