Well okay, so i’ve decided to end my little hiatus and update more than once a week agian. Things that have changed since I’ve been gone- Add a pic! I absolutely love it, I haven’t tried it yet, but I know I’ll love it.
From now, I have two set topics a week to write about….
Mon: Top 10’s
Thu: Weight loss goals/ check in
Which gives me enough structure and flexibility.
Category: Life
Top 10 toys….
Or glimpses into my geeky childhood…..
1) Barbie : Cliched, I know, but I loved my Tropical Barbie, sweetheart barbie and great date Ken. Their’s was an eternal love triangle , with great clothes. No other drama will ever come close.
2) Legos: Bright colors and stackable, nothing makes a kid happier
3) Doctor: Technically not a toy, but I did have a fake stethescope(sp?) and some other medical type stuff and I don’t know anyone who hasn’t played doctor.
4) Memory Game : It was this matching cards, board game I had and I kicked ass at it.
5) Kitchen Sets: The reason I can sorta cook now. My full set of dishes were pale green plastic, Martha Stewart would have been proud. My pots and pans and stove , etc were nicer than the ones I own now 🙂
6) Books : Books were great to play shop with, I would arrange and rearrange them to play Book store, and library and teacher. I think I mostly just like organizing them by Category, height, alphabetical etc.
7) Badminton Set:This was for when I was a little bit older and I would get to play with the older kids, I sucked, but my badminton set rocked. That is also how I found out that a cock does not mean a rooster
8) Mr. Bunny: My favorite toy from when I was a baby. It was big and brown, with big fake bulging glass eyes and little overalls and big floppy ears. He was a sweetie, but in the Barbie games, he was always Sweetheart Barbie’s Dad or Boss
9) Mini Tent : It was a pop up and I could set it up wherever I wanted and make a little house for myself.
10) Mud/Dirt: It makes you dirty, pisses your mom off and is ver versatile, can be dinner, can be weapons, can be whatever you want it to be.
Top Ten Things Other People do to piss me off!!!
1) People who are needy! I don’t have time to babysit people anymore, especially if they are my age or older. Get a hobby, keep a journal, whatever…but stop expecting me to be on the phone 5 times a day for 30 mins each. Those days are gone
2) Immaturity. I just can’t deal with this anymore. People need to grow up and learn to draw the line between acceptable and non -acceptable behavior by themselves. It is not funny to create drama, or awkward situtations, or call people out and get involved in other people’s lives simply because you can.
3) Bossy People. I don’t need anyone other than my close friends and family to give me unsolicited advice, I know what I am doing with my time, money, interests etc. I am not going to buy a microwave, not hang out with my b.f or stop going to the gym simply because someone says so. It was never acceptable to tell other people how to live their lives and its still not acceptable
4) People who have very private conversations in very public places. I do not need to know the details of people’s personal lives, while i’m working, or trying to get something done
5) People who speed in the middle of a storm. I don’t care if they want to die , but I would really like to be around for a while
6) Girls who cannot be friends with other girls. They are really strange and weird creatures in my opinion. I am so sick of girls saying things like, I get along better with boys and girls are so bitchy, etc. Well sweety, you are a girl too and i guess that makes you a bitch too.
7) People who completely morph once they are in a relationship and this is true of guys and girls. I have seen too many people completely change their personality once they are in a relationship, where they no longer have their own opinions
8) People who are uptight. Laugh a little, Yeah you are an Emergency Room Doctor, but if you are getting coffee with a bunch of mere mortals like us, you can try to have a good time like the rest of us
9) People who are overly sensitive. Lets just grow up and not cry/bitch/whine/moan about everything that does not go our way shall we? There is no need to stop talking or have a big heart to heart about something that was said in jest.
10) People who need to be the center of attention all the time. If I hang out with you, I already know, how funny/smart/cool/wonderful/great you are, you don’t need to prove it constantly. I get it already!
Nothing new
Love my b.f He is being good!
Running in a 5k tomorrow morning. Hopefully it will be fun!

Want to drink wine tonight. Good Wine. Will look into it

The ultimate vacay
Even though its friday, its self hate day. Can’t stand me, or anything around me. Maybe I’m maniac depressive.
Need vacation!Not from work, from life.
I wonder how it would be if we could take mini vacays from our life, stop existing for a little while? And then when we felt good and ready to return back to existence, we could stop being dead. Death…not the end ….just a vacation.
I have issues!
In other news, have decided that since Johnny Depp is uttainable, I will proceed to have Jack White’s children.
And another winner….
Unless it turns out that this would need to be a Layla free weekend, I think J and I are committed to camping. We don’t the people very well, but I just want to get away from everything, be a tourist, take silly pics of friends and puppy and mountains, eat good food and come home drama free!
Plenty of drama on ANTM last night though, with a runway walk off and live commercial. Naima won! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! I would have been pretty happy if Kahlen had won too, but Naima just seemed really special, not boring and as L says “didn’t say anything too annoying”. I hope she has a great career.
Tyra has managed to keep me for one more season! Go Miss Tyra. I think Janice needs her own reality show. I know she will be on next season’s Surreal life, but I think they should just give her a cooler/bitchier version of ANTM. Sigh….wishful thinking.
Hopefully apprentice finale will be decent. Haven’t really watched in a couple ofweeks. So don’t really care, who gets hired.
….And we have a winner!!!!
So I actually won something today! Going to the stupid networking thing definitely paid off! I won two tickets to the Durham Bulls game next Tuesday. Do I like baseball? No, but its free and its summer and I think it will be fun to go with J and get hotdogs and beer! A real old fashioned Date. He said he likes going with a big group and that is always fun, but I think it might be okay!!!
We might go camping in Boone this weekend. I haven’t been to the mountains in NC yet and its going to be 3-4 more people and it could be a good way to explore the area, since these people have connections. I think camping with a big group is not what i usually like to do , but if someone else is planning it, I am definitely up for the ride.
I think KD and I have definitely hit upon a great idea for our blogs. Here’s to many more Simulposts!!!!!
Top 10 favorite things about summer
KD and Girliegirl Simulpost
1) Coronas with Lime and BBQ. They are good in the winter too, but summer makes them special! Margaritas on the rocks are pretty close too
2) 4th of July BBQs with fireworks, or general BBQs. Watching fireworks in sugarhouse park and going to a party afterwards. Also Pioneer Day fireworks in Tremonton Utah.
3) Hanging around at play grounds. Brings back childhood memories. Especially fun to hang out late evening/night times. Always leads to good discussion and some “major” event
4) Cucumber Sandwiches. I know this is an odd one, but my mom would make these sandwiches with white bread , butter , cucumber, salt and pepper and they were nice and cool in teh summer
5) Riding in the car with KD , with her radio blaring anything from Rock, pop to oldies. Especially when she had Michelle’s tracker.
6)White Tank tops. With jeans, skirts, etc. Its the ultimate summer shirt, makes me feel very alive
7) Hiking to these waterfalls in the canyons, we used to do it atleast once every summer,and then we would make yummy tin foil dinners after the hike…..yummm… and I guess it could also be hiking in general
8) Being out in a boat on a lake. I am specifically recalling last summer, when we went to the lake with some of J’s old roommates and just water skiied, tubed and wakeboarded. Also, other watersports aka…river rafting. J and I went with his last lab the last two years and it was really fun.
9) Going to Amusement Parks. Especially ones with a water park too. Fake Rafting in chlorinated water is the best. Also scary rides!
10) Road Trips and Family Vacays.
