I'm in love!

So I haven't really posted much lately, this may be because I have fallen in love. Now I'm sure a few of you have fallen off your chairs.....let me explain.

Since winter has been staying around much, much longer then it should have (seriously, snow on Memorial Day???) I have been forced to spend my time watching other's lives on TV. This is where the falling in love comes into play. Nicole & I have spent the last 2 months watching a TV show called "House." For those of you who don't watch it it is very cleverly written & not a show you can watch casually or while you do other things. If you don't dedicate the time to watch it and pay attention then you will miss the humor (just ask Amber who I tried to have watch an episode, but I could tell Ashley was not allowing her to concentrate and thus Amber thinks it is "stupid.") House is a show about a doctor ("House") with a brutal bedside manner, but a brilliant man. It has won several awards so I'm not the only one who likes it (see Amber!) Anyways, I have fallen for "House" who in reality is a 49 yr old British man. Apparently I need to expand my dating age group because I would completely date him tomorrow if he came to my door. Here is a picture of him so you all know what to start looking for for me. I think it is the facial hair & the beginnings of "old man wrinkles" that have me hooked.....oh & possibly the people who write his character on the show (LOL!).

Tag by Laura!

I was tagged by Laura and I'm sure everyone is sick of hearing about the Jazz since that is the only thing I post about these days (and is a tad depressing right now). So here we go....

A- Attached or Single?- Unfortunately, very, very single.

B- Best Friend? – Stacy

C- Cake or Pie?- Pie for sure. I HATE cake unless it is partially uncooked and gooey in the middle or if I can only eat the frosting.

D-Day of choice?- Saturday for sure!

E- Essential item?- Cell Phone (who knows why, it rarely rings, but I have to be ready if it does :)).

F- Favorite color?- Pink (usually with brown)

G- Gummy bears or worms? Neither, I don't like gummy things

H-Hometown? Orem, UT

I- Indulgence(s)?- I have a lot...let's see cadbury mini eggs, girl scout cookies, massages, eating out.

J- January or July? – July for sure, on my floaty in the pool!

K-Kids?- None, I prefer to be the fun aunt who gives the kids back when they get cranky.

L- Life is incomplete without?- Family, Friends, Gospel....oh and TIVO (it has completely changed my life).

M- Marriage date?- I'm not sure what year it will be although I'm hoping soon, but the date will be December 24th to please my mother of course :)

N- Number of siblings?- 3 sisters, no brothers

O- Oranges or apples?- Apples for sure. I hate peeling oranges and they make my hands sticky.

P- Phobias or fears?- Currently I fear going to the grocery store & the shelves being empty and then starving to death. Oh and I fear Mice, Wasps, & Bees. I HATE them all!

Q- Quotes?- "Whatever!" Nicole says I say that way to often especially when dealing with boys.

R- Reasons to smile? - Summer weather, my floaty at the pool, not being at work, little kids that make me laugh (specifically Madi, Hannah, Allie, Ashley & Sienna)....sorry Jenny, Jack is too young to be funny.

S-Season? - Summer for sure!

T-Tag 5 people?- Jenna, Carrie, Heather, Amy, Brooke

U- Unknown fact?- I'm somewhat superstitious, but I try not to be. I worry a lot which makes me over think lots of things sometimes.

V- Very Favorite store?- GAP for sure, oh and Cafe Rio.

W- Worst Habit?- Used to be biting my nails, but I have almost kicked that one. New habit is probably sleeping until 8:30 (yes I do have a job)

X- X-ray or ultrasound? – x-ray I guess. I've never had an ultrasound.

Y-Your favorite food?- Cafe Rio pork tostada.

Z- Zodiac?- Scorpio, but I don't really care about Zodiac signs. Maybe it is because my horoscope always seemed to be crappy when I read it in "Teen" magazine....LOL!

Bring on the Lakers!!

Finally the Jazz finished off Houston! Last night Stacy & I went to Game 6 with my parents. The game was SO exciting and it was fun to see D-Will take over the game. I LOVE him. Trade anyone else, but if we lose D-Will I will cry. Boozer on the other hand is very quickly loosing my love. He needs to be aggressive. We'd better be on our A-game against the Lakers. Oh how I HATE KOBE!!!
















The night was full of fun, but some of the funnier times included Dad being "Dad." It was classic "Dad" face as he realized that drinks at the game are not $.50 cents. This picture is him with his beloved Diet Coke. Stacy won the contest by saying "Get the camera ready, Dad is going to come back and say "Gasp!"

Dad came back and stated....and I quote "$3.75 for a Coke.......GASP!!!!" as this picture was taken. Dad is just so predictable.

A great, but LONG day!

Well yesterday was a long, but very eventful and fun day. Okay, really the day was pretty easy and very fun.... just a few events that had me up early and to bed late.

First of all I ran the 5K with Jenna and Amanda. It was their first 5K & they did great! I was also pleased that I ran it in under 29 minutes (I don't know my exact time). I was very pleased since that is faster than I have ever run a 5K. I've never been under 31 minutes! Here is a picture of the runners (after the run)!


Then the rest of the day was full of errands, chores and a brief 30 minute nap in the sun! Although it was only 60 degrees, it felt warm!

Then Stacy & I were off to the Jazz game (8:30pm start). We went to Cafe Rio first and then did a little shopping at the Gateway (well I did). Luckily this Jazz game went much better than Thursday's game. Although we STILL tried to give it back to Houston at the end. I nearly had a heart attack when we were up by 9 and then only up by 2 in a matter of 30 seconds. Luckily the Jazz pulled it out. Here's hoping they can close it out on Tuesday in Houston!

Here is a picture of Stacy & I at the game. I much prefer my own Jazz shirt in pictures as it actually fits me.

One team, one dream (aka nightmare!)

Stacy & I went to our first playoff game this season. I was so excited, had dreams of a sweep.....The Jazz were going to win the NBA championship if they won. I walked in the arena, got my free XL "one team, one dream" T-shirt & was ready to cheer my hear out.

Alas the Jazz yet again got me all riled up & then cut out my heart with their bare hands. Why do I allow them to do that? In fact they acted like they didn't have to really play hard because they were at home. Apparently on your home court there is no need to rebound or make free throws.....at least that is what Boozer thought. (I still LOVE Williams although I wish he could have seen Boozer wide open for that final dunk like I did!)

I assume that Mother Nature's SNOW she delivered yesterday also played a part in this & caused the Jazz to think they needed to play basketball like they did in December.....when they lost 11 out of 13 in one stretch!

I know, I know it is just one game & I still expect the Jazz to win the series, but seriously....why make it harder than it is? I have little to live for & the Jazz winning brings joy to my life....(I'm kidding, sort of)

Also, here is a photo that Stacy begged me to put on my blog! I believe she wanted it posted because and I quote "I (Stacy) look so thin" :) Be happy I cropped it Stace, it could have been worse...at least you are pregnant & the shirt sort of fits you..... Apparently we are all size XL to the Utah Jazz.

Are you kidding me? Enough already!!!

Dear Mother Nature,

It is April 24th & I have a Jazz playoff game to attend. I normally wear SHORTS to these playoff games. Enough with the snow!!! It is springtime!

Seriously! Enough already!!! This picture was taken out of my window at work. (Thanks El for the camera!)


And while I was typing this post I had to take a 2nd picture!

Welcome Back to my fake friends!

Well my 27 layer haircut post is now the most popular post I have ever made (at least comment wise). Thanks to everyone for your comments and continued friendship after seeing that picture. However, I can't have that ugly picture be the first thing I pull up when people look at my blog. Thus on to new posts!

It has been a long, long, looooooooooooong winter. In addition to freezing for much longer than I wanted or expected to (still freezing I might add), I have also not had the company of my television friends thanks to the writers strike. It has been a long hard winter & needless to say I am counting down until real TV returns. I can't wait until Thursday night when my friends return. Friends named Jim, Dwight, JD, Turk, and one day.....McDreamy & McSteamy.

In the meantime, I have found a new favorite show thanks to Jenna. She has introduced me to my newest boyfriend....Eddie Latekka on October Road. I probably love him because on the show he loves the fat, ugly girl & all girls can related to the fat, ugly girl (at least mentally), but seriously look at him & what is not to like?
