two-hundred

Happy 200th post to me! Either I am really gabby and have no qualms sharing my life with the www, or.... Yeah, no- I have no qualms sharing my life with strangers and friends. :) Leave me a note and let me know you are reading. Even if I know you already are! (this goes for my blog stalkers too!!) Thanks everyone!

I am going to post my favorite scene from the weeks Glee episode. More for my satisfaction than for my readers. Though, I do hope you enjoy it :)

When I was in college, I saw this commercial. I only saw it once. It was on during the ER episode when Dr. Green dies. (it is weird that I remember things like that!) And I have looked for this commercial ever since. On TV and then when YouTube was invented, I thought that would be my key! I couldn't find it. But tonight, I found it. And I cried just like I did in 2002 when I saw it for the first time. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

On Saturday, Clayton, Anna, Blake and myself ran the Salt Lake Marathon 5k. (I think it might become a family tradition now...) And while I did my slow run... because I run slow, my Blake ran it in 21 minutes. There were 1836 runners that day running the 5k. Blake came in 21st. And so I am tooting my horn in honor of my brother. He is fast.

He is running the Utah Valley Marathon June 12th. Wish him luck!

Welcome back, Glee. I've missed you.

1996

I found these in a box a few days ago, and I have to just laugh at how life was so much more simple the year I graduated. And that is a killer vest, I don't care what you say!

Also, it's proof that I am a natural red head. Probably a good public service announcement.

There is something to be said about having your first pedicure of the season. It is the first sign that spring and warm weather is on its way for me.

I love climbing up into the pedicure chair at my favorite nail place. (t & t nails, for those of you in the Salt Lake Valley) Pushing the buttons on the arm of the chair for the chair massage. Bubbly water and someone making my feet look sandal ready.

Yesterday I got my first pedi of the season. It was wonderful. I recommend getting a nice bright smiley color. Happy sandal season!

black

I have a confession. And some of you will think less of me, I am sure. But none the less... I am going to share it any way.

I like black jelly beans. It isn't something I am proud of, because I know that some of you are prejudice against the black jelly beans. I also know, that black is kind of an anti jelly bean color. They are supposed to be spring like and a cheerful color.

But there is something about the flavor and color that is a little bit rebellious to have on Easter. So now is when I confess that I wait until the day AFTER Easter to go into the store to find my bag. And the best part of waiting is, they are usually only 50 cents a bag. Lucky me!

Thank you, Dano for the award... :) I thought this looked like a fun little tag for the blog-o-sphere. Danielle and I met in Connecticut while nannying. I remember our mutual friend Rhonda telling me the week before she moved back to Stamford "You're going to just love her". Rho was right. Dano and I shared many laughs together.

Here are my "tidbits":

1. As a child I didn't like conference. (I am watching it now as I type). My mom used to tell me that it was an easy Sunday for us, because it was only 2 hours instead of the 3 that we usually have. Now I cannot wait for it. I love the spirit that it brings into my home. Having lived in non-LDS homes for the past 7 years, it is a real treat.

2. I have a pet fish. I bought him when I moved back to Utah. His name is Poseidon.

3. I have a deep desire to go to London. I have always wanted to go. I have plans to go next Spring.

4. I can only chew gum for a maximum of 5 minutes. I cannot stand to have it in my mouth any longer than that. It drives many of my friends nuts. To the point that they have refused to give me a piece of their gum after a dinner at a restaurant because they teased me it was a "waste".

5. Very rarely to I talk to my brothers on the phone. We text. Somehow that is easier. But we all usually text all day every day. They are my best friends.

6. My bath towls have to match my bedding in my room. It is strange, I know.

7. I love my dad. He and I have had some rough years. But he has been a strength to me in a lot of things. Whether he knows that or not. I am proud that he served his country and is a Veteran. He now suffers from complications of serving in the first Desert Storm and has made is quality of life difficult for him. But he is my dad. And I love him.

And now, my tags are:
