Blogger Slacker
I havn't blogged in a while and sometimes I have random thoughts that I think I should just blog about but most seem dumb and silly....and yet here I go....hey at least I am blogging baby steps people baby steps :)
1) I am kind of new to the facebook thing and I am always wondering do I request to be friend. I always wonder will they even remember me? Will they think I am a needy geek for seeking them out after all this time :). So sometimes I get the guts to hit the request button and sometimes I don't. It seems funny like we are in grade school again "will you be my friend...please".
2) Avery is growing up fast...I thought about him going to school soon and got a gut renching feeling in my stomach. I just want to keep him in my protective bubble forever. I want my love to be enough to cure anything that he needs to deal with. I want to control what he comes in contact with and sees and hears. I pray he will be strong and valiant in choosing what is right.
3) I am feeling "stuck out of style" I recognize that my clothes are not hip and in and yet when I go shopping I look at what is and try it on and feel like I am trying to be some teeny bopper and laugh. I am in a rut not old lady not young and hip just me...out of style me. I didn't anticipate getting stuck I remeber seeing women who thought it was the eighties when it wasn't and thinking I will not be like that....and now I am trying to not be :)
4) Everett is a 18 year old in a two year olds body. He cracks me up how mature he is and matter of fact. He wants to be grown up so bad. He is also way to smart for me. In church the other day he was being naughty and I said "do you want to go to time out" and he thought for a second and said "ya can I go to time out out there" seeing that getting to leave sacrament was not a punishment I said no...then he said "can I go to time out in the car?" This went on until finally he said "fine I will just be naughty right here and plopped down. Funny Kid
5) Avery and Everett think they are hilarious and sometimes they are...they are into knock knock jokes and they think any random word fits in the blanks....
Everett: knock knock
Avery : who is there
Everett choo choo
Avery: choo choo who?
Everettt: choo choo coconut head.
Together...Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ( they laugh for minutes and think it is so funny) I am left puzzled.
6) I heard on "wait wait don't tell me" about how soon you will be able to order pizza off one the cable channels using your remote. They were joking that becuse picking up the phone and using you index finger to dial was too much work, they soon would also program your remote to open your front door to let the pizza man in so you never had to leave the couch. I laughed and thought that was funny then I went to the gym and saw a commercial for a ipod that if you hold it up to a song playing it will tell you who is it....what it is called and where to down load it. Also a friend of mine told me that they are making GPS cell phones so you can see where your friends are at anytime. Anyone in your contacts will show up on a map so you know where they are. As single events some are funny some are amazing together creepy and scary. Pretty soon we wont' be able to think for ourselves it has already started I am so use to the internet trying to find something in the phone book is painful. I am use to google doing all my reasearch for me. So I have decided to make an effort to get back to basics and exersice my brain. :)
7) Seven is my favorite number many of you know this already but I am kind of obessed with it. I ALWAYS set clocks with a seven in it 7:27 not 7:30 etc. I will wait if I have to (like when the power goes out and I need to re set it) to make it accurate but still with a seven in it. Austin asked me to marry him exactly seven months from the day we met becuase he knew this about me. It is not like I feel anxious is there isn't a seven in it. It is just when I put a seven in things is gives me a little boost of happiness. The number seven makes me smile. :)
8) Speaking of thinks that make me happy. Dr pepper is my taste buds best friend. I find it interesting how it works. I feel a jolt of happiness almost giddyness as soon as I taste Dr Pepper it is not the caffine becuase it could not get into my system as fast as I feel the emotional effects of dr pepper. If I am having a bad day or am stressed I crave dr pepper it works every time. I am not effected by the caffine at all I can drink a whole dr pepper and then take a nap if the chance should happen to arise.
9) I have lost it....or have I? So I have never been the hot girl or been realy known for my looks. However I have been pulled over seven times and only gotten a ticket once. I have been able to use "cute and innocent" in my favor in many situations. There is a gas station across the street from the flower shop (very convienent for my dr pepper fixes) I go there quite a bit and have never been given my drink to me for free. However I have this cute girl who works for me who is cute and pretty and 20. She always gets her drink for free and they say it is becuase she smells like flowers...I SMELL LIKE FLOWERS TOO!!!! :) so I was feeling like I had lost it...never was hot now not even cute. But a couple days ago guess who got pulled over?...me and I as let off with a warning. Also today I went out to lunch and the guy at the counter punched five holes in my sandwhich card instead of two....so maybe I still have it for a few more years at least :)
10) ok last one...but hey if you are still reading and you are bored that is your own fault :). I am so thankful for everyone in my life. So all of you who have read this thanks for being great friends. Hope you all have a great thanksgiving and know that you are reasons I have to be grateful.

My opinion (read at your own risk) :)
So I love election years. I love the spark of debate. The call to search for the goodness. The fire that alights in people to move toward something better. I am so thankful to a heavenly father who gives us agency to choose for ourselves and think for ourselves. I don't think politics are black and white cut and dry. I believe that there are many things to consider and we need to be open-minded. I took a quiz that had quotes on policies from both McCain and Obama. You didn't know who said what and you had to pick the idea you agreed with most. I agreed with both on different issues. I get frustrated by those who paint them good and evil. Many people I have come in contact with this election year seemed to think that voting for one party or the other made you evil. Some people actually act like it is a sin to vote for someone other than who they support. I wish to end this with a plea to everyone remember Heavenly Father has given us our agency to search out for ourselves who we believe would be best at this time. I hope everyone will embrace the spark of debate and give each side a chance. Don't be so close-minded that you miss out on something great. And please above all respect other peoples opinions. We are all different and the fact that we are different gives us the opportunity to put our strengths to work and make this world a better place. Ok I am done :) Sorry this has been on my mind and I thought I would vent to all the people who hopefully love me no matter what. :)
