Thursday morning giggles

Oh my gosh. I just had THE BEST giggling fit at work EVER.

Seriously.

First, go HERE and read about Nicholas Sparks and his "different" love stories. I'll wait why you read. Please read all of it. I'll be here waiting......

okay, hopefully that gave you enough time to go read. Wasn't that the FUNNIEST thing EVER?! I had never noticed the trend in his books/movies. BUT  OH MY GOSH, IT'S TRUE!!!

Seriously, the best laugh I've had in a long time.


Well...since last night when SwingKid decided to tickle me to death, but that's a different story.  :o)


HAPPY THURSDAY!

cooking

You know what? I don't get why corn dogs and french fries cook for similar times at different temperatures. This makes it really annoying when wanting to cook both corn dogs and french fries for dinner AND eat them together. It's practically impossible. at least, if you don't want to burn one or the other.

Or have them soggy.

eww.

seriously, can't the two figure out a nice middle ground together? I don't have one of those snazzy ovens that has two parts that can be set to different temperatures. (although, SwingKid's mom does, and it is  the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my entire life. I'm in love with it.)

On a completely different note and yet somehow related :
It's National Grilled Cheese Month.

awesome.

I LOVE grilled cheese sandwiches.  They make my heart happy.

dear blogging world

i currently love:

• Easter chocolate
• the treadmill
• my glasses
• my awesomely red hair
• my sister
• friends!!
• Scuttle the car

sort of like a stream of consciousness

I need a family practice doctor. I'm trying to decide if I want a male or female doctor. Your thoughts?

my awesome friend Papa Funk was in town for his break from Fashion Design School. We went to California Pizza Kitchen, which is our tradition. We had a blast sitting and talking and catching up on each others lives. He's so great.

the weather in UT has been sucky as of late. We've had everything from Sunny to Snowfall.

Easter is this weekend. I finally found my favorite treat (besides peeps): Starburst jelly beans. It has taken me weeks to find them and I'm very happy that I can gain weight eating the best treat ever.

I'm going shopping tomorrow with my sister and I think I need a new dress. A new springy, happy dress. Sounds fun no?

I desperately need to go through my cupboards/pantry and sort all of my canned food/spices to see what I really have. I keep meaning to do this, but things keep distracting me. Like the season finale of Greek. I love that t.v. show. It's my guilty pleasure. Don't judge. It's fun and keeps me entertained.

and finally, it is Friday. Which equals Friday Fill-ins! yay!


1. All you need is some chocolate.
2. SwingKid fills me with laughter.
3. Each generation, as it grows up, gets set in their ways so that they're not the biggest fans of the younger generation.
4. Jealousy is something I have a hard time dealing with.
5. A trip to somewhere warm is what I need.
6. Someone plays a trick on you and you get back.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to so many different things, including dyeing eggs!, tomorrow my plans include watching the 180th Annual General Conference and shopping with Sister B  and Sunday, I want to watch more General Conference while enjoying Easter!

April Fool's Day

You know..I was going to try to pull some shenanigans, but then I decided not to. :o)

However, I will share this little gem with you. It's a post I did a couple years ago. Go read, and enjoy the joke played on a younger Alishka.
