In the words of...

Stephanie Tanner:

Do people NOT realize there are un-written rules in driving?

Here is an example of what I experienced today.

I was leaving a parking lot and wanting to turn left but traffic is backed up. What is the unspoken "rule"? You leave enough space where the driver is TRYING to turn left so they can. Am I correct or incorrect? Kind of like the un-written rule in the Sonic Drive In. If there are more than 2 empty stalls Ya don't park next to car when there is an open space between them. You take the next stall. Car, empty stall, car.

Is it that hard? My sources (although not always correct) say YA MAKE ROOM! Did this happen today? Oh no. So had the opportunity to sit there whilst the moron NOT making room didn't make eye contact with me. Yes, I do that too if I have done something incorrectly.. but eww.. the daggers I was sending her way. :)

Please explain

Because I SERIOUSLY do not get this 'guys wearing skinny jeans' thing.



I have this running through my head right now of what I would like to say to "the kids these days".

"Hi, you're a guy, could your jeans BE any tighter?"

"If your pants will not and do not go over your backside region.. I think it is best NOT to wear them. I really don't care to see the color of your underwear thanks".


Umm no, they don't.

Just for laughs with the iPod

Yet another Ipod moment. I received a CD a while back from a co-worker that has about a 8 minute schpill of nothing but Ralph Wiggum quotes. This came on a shuffle I was listening to the other day. Of course I tried to find some on the music thing that is on my blog.. but was only able to find a couple.. so here are a few quotes to enjoy as well as some pictures.






and with a flute up his nose...

Happy Birthday Bean!

It was my nieces birthday the other day. She is a teenager! I can hardly believe it.
We had a fun day of bowling, eating bowling alley fries, sweating in bowling shoes (I really shouldn't have thought or said that.. now I am kinda grossed out) were given a few pointers/comments from my dad about just how GREAT we did bowl (I bowled a 78 with a total score of 138 for both games. Just sayin') and then headed to my sisters for taco bar and birthday cake. It was a fun day!

Hmmm now if I take Grandpa's advice and curve the ball I could possibly get a strike.


Ahhh she was soo cuddly!!! (but she also didn't feel good.. but I will take what I can get)

Stupid Brain

What is it about our brains that triggers a memory at the sight of something? I know.. I know.. "it's just how the mind works". I understand.. but with what happened the other day turned into reflecting on how EMBARRASSING I was "back in the day".

I pulled into the local parking lot of Target (curse you wonderful store). What do I see out of the corner of my eye?!?! A vehicle that one of my first crushes drove. After seeing the car, it first drove fear into heart, (holy moly could that be his car?!) which in turn made me turn a bright lovely shade of red from the memories of how I acted around him as well as ALL of the drive by's I did with my friends (which in this day could be known as stalking) and the realization/embarrassment that.... for the love.. like it really would still be his car.

As I collected my nerves and my fingers stopped shaking, I did my normal shopping but believe me.. I did look out the corner of my eye every now and then in hopes NOT to run into him (again.. this is circa 1991... like it REALLY would STILL be his car).

Curse you Ford Escort and brain. I am a moron.

Heck outta dodge weekend

I have been feelin' the need.. the need to get outta the "valley" for the weekend. Luckily Tracie had an awesome idea to head up to her families cabin for the weekend.

As always, it was fabulous. Nothing planned other than chillin', watching movies and reading. It was so relaxing! I was able to start and finish the book club book. (Which was a pretty good read.)

Our first stop was to head into Kamas to do some grocery shopping. This is when I first noticed this business sign. Now this what I call one stop shopping. Haircut, facial, tanning AND rent a video? Sweeet. Personally love the speedo (ick).

When in Oakley you must, must, must stop at the Polar King. For the following artery clogging goodness. You know when your bag of food turns clear it is good stuff!!

We were, as always, sad to leave....

But the drive home was spectacular. I live in such a beautiful state!

Not my favorite thing...

No I am not going to start a 'Not my favorite thing' for the month of June... or wait.. maybe I will!!
Any who... I saw the first spider in my house the other day.. can we say EEEEEKKK!
