Trading UP for a Whopper

I love all things free. I guess even if it means losing a few friends along the way so I was SToked to find out that if I am willing to give up 10 of my Facebook friends I can get a Whopper in return. Be sure to download the Whopper Sacrifice Application. Now the only question is WHO? I mean, what a great trade...friends I connect with once in a while, a few great memories, lots of laughs.............for a ...............(eyes closed, lips licking).... greasy, high fat, stale bun taste of a Whopper!!! Woo-hoo! Life IS so good!

PS If you happen to be one of the casualties....thanks for the whopper!

XOXO

Twilight mania

OK. Sorry about the ever so slight interruption here on my blog, but can U blame me? I mean the minute, no the second, that Twilight came out I knew I was a goner. It was ToUgh, but I managed to see Twilight EVERY single day for 2 months!! What a rush!!! I think people may have even thought that the bite marks on my neck were real. I mean they looked TOTally great. I could probably make it in HollyWood as a make-up artist. I have serious talent. Who needs American Idol anyways, right?? I'm going to Hollywood BAby! Well, not really....although I could if I chose to leave this valley of Happy.

XOXO

trick or treating with Obama and McCain

I LUV Halloween! This year MMM and I decided to dress up like our presidential candidates...I was Obama and he was McCain. Call it our own little social experiment. It took us hours and hours and..sigh...hours to get all dolled up. And then, out we went (Sam was the CUUTest little donkey carrying his stuffed elephant). So, it turned out that I was pretty bummed. I didn't end up with much candy at all and MMM had bags full. It was curious.......when I rang the doorbell and people opened the door, they reached into my bag and TOOK my hard-earned Candy mumbling something about 'spreading the wealth', 'sharing the wealth' and they put it right into MMM's bag. I mean, all he did was stand there. He didn't say trick or treat, didn't knock or ring the bell, and he got so much of my candy. Is that really FaIR?

good will

I lUV our great state and all the courteous drivers. I have lived many places and this is BY FaR the Best place to find polite drivers who are concerned about SAfEty and basic good Will towards Men. I love it when they drive about 2 inches from my bumper to let me know that they are ready to pass me................I mean, how else would I know this?? It is especially helpful when I am in the fast lane trying my hardest to get the DVD working and replying to my TXT messages. I also think it is TOTally great when a car zooms around me, gets in front and then makes sure to slam on the brakes to remind me of the speed limit and - ultimately - saving me from getting a ticket. My FAVorite though is probably the ones who are swerving all over the road trying to remind me it's always time for a bit of fun! I have no idea why Utah drivers are suppose to be bad???????????

loyalty

I love having close FrienDs and I LUV email so naturally when you get an email from a BFF it's SuPERbo. Email gives us the .................well, you know,................A bility to keep in touch and to open up when things might be going bad, terrific, or you just need a BFF to LOL! (Which recently happened to me....thanks for the great laughs BFF :) I recently got an email from an old neighbor relating all things about their personal - very personal tell no one but your BFF - on-goings and suCH. I was feeling pretty darn good about having such a GREAT relationship she felt she could come to me and let it all out. I mean, after all..................sigh, clearing the throat.....................I am like SUPER trustworthy, loyal, and TOTal non-gossiper (not to mention like super cute and very modest!). Everyone needs a BFF like me............(especially Paris Hilton).................or, as I later noticed on her email, 72 BFF's. We got spammed!! Don't get me wrong, I mean ...............I TOTally admire her for being able to throw her trash out the window as she is speeding down the information highway not caring who she hits with it along the way, BuT REaLLy? 72 other people got my same email? C'mon! Where's the loyalty man????

shake and share

I LUV this time of year. The colors are changing, it's darker earlier and lighter later, and it's flu season. I'm not ToTally sure xactly what the big deal is...........I say bring it on! Sneeze right in your hand and then shake, share that lollipop with your sick child, cough right in the open! It's all in the name of a better immune system. SerioUSly though, I truly read this WAY disgusting ARticlE about a stud-Y that was done in England. This may make you serioulSY ill to read about..........if you have a queasy tummy, better stop here! They found out that people who eat their wugs - you know, bugers.........(gross, gagging, throwing up) have better immune systems...........I KNOW, Right?????? Who volunteered for that kind of stud-Y. I figure that they must be totally righteous people who are interested in the well-being of mankind.

LYLAS

I love a good sense of humor! Laughter is like..............um............oh yeah, medicine. Not like the kind for cancer that makes your hair fall out or the kind for men that.........you know.........I am a little embarrassed to even type it..........what will people think of me? I mean, deep sigh, I have worked soooooooooooooo Hard for my repu tation that I am having a hard time putting myself out there. It's kind of like those naked dreams where everyone else is dressed and you are naked except that I'm not naked and there isn't really anyone else around. Other than that, it is TOTally the same thing.

A couple nights ago as I was knitting my husbands TOTally great SURPRISE Christmas gift ( I love the word Christmas.......you know, pause.........because CHRIST is in it and when I think about that I think about the great picture of him I got for my last birthday and then I always end up thinking about the great party, deeper sigh, and presents, deepest sigh of great satisfaction, and cake, taking a moment to relive the experience, ...nothing beats that!!) And I turned on the TV to find that it was stuck on this channel with a bunch of old.......I mean aged (I can be PO litical too) individuals all decked out. Since the fan kept going on and off every time I tried to change the channel and the CD kept blaring when I tried to turn it off..............yeah, we got one of those TOTally KilLer universal remotes that has nothing to do with the universe for our 2 year wedding anniversary - TOtally sweet huh? Who would've thought he could actually be so romantic - ...............AnyWays, WHere Was I?...............the TV show....right!

So there was a black man, a catholic preacher and an old guy all sitting together (no this is not one of those jokes....although I couldn't help but think it might be) and pretty soon they were getting up and I about busted my gut laughing. HILAriouS!!! LOL! ROTFL!!

Every one should take a look http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=alfred+smith+dinner+2008&search_type=&aq=f

Who would've guessed that McCain is actually funny? (Yeah, the old, I mean aging one). They had a great time and I was laughing so hard that MMM's 'surprise' now has one arm a bit longer than the other.....OOOpppppps! I hope you take time to laugh.......someone once told me that it takes more muscles and energy to frown than to laugh. I have ALWays wondered why the skinny girls all have frowns. I thought it was because they wanted some M&M's and couldn't have any, but now I know their little secret! It's to burn more calories so watch those smiles girls. You may get more than you bargain for (pounds that is). Love ya like a sis LYLAS!

party

I'm having a PARTY!!! Party time! I love that my neighborhood is so close To each other. It is TOTally AWesome how I get invited to sooooooooooooo MANY, um..............social eveNTs. It makes me feel soooo LOVEd when I get invited to someone else's party with NO StriNGs attached whatsoever. I want to give back to my community so I am hosting a PArTY. A fun time together where we can grow CLoSEr, have fun as friends, talk and open up, LAuGH, lauGH, LauGh. Please feel free to bring a friend (if you do, You get a PRIZE.....great party HUH?) and if you spend $25 or more you get a second prize..................did I mention, that this is a TUPPERwarE party? (Is there anything better than THAT?) LUV ya and see ya in the PArty ZOne!!

family pinic

I love sacrament meeting with kids! It's the BomB. I love it how people are so nice and always save us the front row right in front of the pulpit. I mean, how FABulous IS that? I have always wondered why the front row is saved for us and I have FINALLY figured it out. It is because our child is SOOOO well-behaved and reverent. They want to use our small, humble family as an example! I mean, it's kind of embarrassing, I mean.............you know..............to be singled out like this....in front of EVERYone. Our son Sam is so great in church, we have taught him well. I guarantee you that it has nothing to do with the fact that we bring string cheese, crackers, PB & J, chocolate milk, jello pudding, fun fruits, juice boxes, marshmallows.........the family picnic. No, it is not that at all. It is simply that Sam is 'unique' and, well, need I say more?

situational turrets

I love it when my mothering instincts kick in. I mean, it really is a sixth sense, a BleSSing of sorts wouldn't you tOtally agree with me? I am sURe that there is reSearch out there that backs me up on this! As protectors of our ChilDren it is OK to react to situations that may arise. Take last week for instance. I tOOk my SamMy to the city PArK to play. I have told you how 'UniQue' .....(aka gifted)...... he is. Well,........because of his 'uniqueness', he figured out how to climb out of the PLayGrounD sySTem and up onto the top of the TaLLest tube slide. That was all it took! My instincts were HOWLing. So, of course, I did the natural thing......breath.........the thing that most of us would have done.......(yep, I am sure that you would have done the same thing)........

I started screaming and crying and yelling.

I knOW!!! TOTally. You get me right?

Right there on the playground....other people staring at me, mouths open.......pause.......

as I let my 'mOthering InsTincts' take 100% control.

"Call 911!!!", "Sammy, DOn't move AT ALL!!", "HELP!!", "This is jUSt not OKay.

Who invented this slide ANYhow?!!", "Don't worry Sammy, I'm coming!"

I am sure the looks of AWE that I got from the spectATors was simply an Xpression of amazement. AmAzed that I was able to so easily let my instincts take over.

My BFF has another view on the whole thing. She witnessed the enTIRe ordeal and thinks that I may suffer from situational turrets. MMM TOTally agrees with her!!! APPARently this isn't the first time my 'instincts' have taken over.
