Ten on Tuesday...

Just like last week, I'm stealing this from those I stalk. *loves*
1. What was your high school superlative (if you didn’t have one- what would it have been)?
I did not have one. I was not that cool. I'm not even sure what it would have been if I HAD had one. HS was so long ago that I don't really care anymore.

2. What sports did you play in high school?
Zero. I danced on a ballet company outside of high school.

3.  What was the best part about your wedding (if you’re not married yet, what are you looking forward to)?
Well. Not married yet, and I'm looking forward to the party. I love parties. Especially when they're all about me and I get lots of presents.

4. It’s your last meal– what Appetizer, Soup, Salad, Entree and Dessert would you choose?
Appetizer: I LOVE lettuce wraps. Man, I should get me some for lunch today....
Soup: Zupa's Tomato Basil
Salad: Waldorf Chicken Salad from CPK
Entrée: mmm...I want a steak cooked medium with a yummy baked potato and A-1 sauce.
Dessert: Anything with dark chocolate and raspberries - or strawberries. Yummy

5.  What song is your guilty pleasure?

currently anything by Miley Cyrus. I'm not a fan of her, but some of her songs are just so dang catchy and I love them. 
 
6.  What is your favourite professional sports team, and why do you like them?
I don't do professional sports. Only college. only football. And it's my BYU Cougars all the way.

7.  What is your favourite reality show and why do you like it?
So You Think You Can Dance. It starts up again here shortly and I am SO EXCITED!!!

8. How would you classify your home decorating style (modern, classic, French country)?
uh...I have no idea. It's homey??

9. Pizza- deep dish or thin crust? White sauce or red sauce? What toppings?
Regular crust - I like not thick on the bottom, but thick at the ends - like breadsticks! Red sauce (light) and then I LOVE a supreme pizza. I also love a canadian bacon pineapple.

10.  Favourite weekend getaway within a two hour driving radius?
hmmm...I've never "gotten away" within a two-hr driving radius. Probably Park City. I guess.

ALSO! It's Chilly's b-day today. I love her. Go wish her happy birthday. she loves new internet friends. :o)

ALSO 2.0! I took a ballet class last night. It was not one that I teach in any way, shape or form. It was also the first ballet class I took since I tore my ACL. (since before I found OUT I had torn my ACL). It was very scary and yet wonderful all at the same time. My fears are all in my head, my knee performs wonderfully (although not 100% yet) but my brain is still scared of hurting it again. All my current nightmares are of me re-injuring my knee. All in all, it was a great night and I was very happy to  be taking class. Not all of my muscles are happy with me today though. :o) I'm just a wee bit sore.

A little recap and some funny things

SO!! I was trying so hard to be vague about my weekend plans because I know my parents read my blog and part of my weekend plans included a HUGE service project for my mom's Mother's Day gift. It turned out PERFECT. Go to this blog: http://radishtinkle.blogspot.com/ to see what my sister and I did for her. It was a ton of fun and worked out splendidly as our gift. :o)

This weekend also consisted of me making a few new recipes, some good, some not so good AND getting to enjoy family dinner with SwingKid's family. They are so awesome and we had a lot of fun hanging out on Sunday evening.

I also read a book this weekend. Well, I read a book on Sunday. It was the second in the Raine Benares books. If you like fantasy and fun times, you should DEFINITELY check them out. I'm a little bit into the third one and I'm loving every minute of it.

Finally, I saw this via a blog I  stalk and I highly encourage you to watch it. It's fabulously funny and if you have the Monday Blues, you should watch it. Right now.




HA HA HA. I hope that made you laugh as much as it made me laugh. :o)

Ten on Tuesday

A little something new today. I follow the lovely Kara over at Chatter (yes, I'm a blog stalker. deal with it k?) and she pulls a fun meme from Chelsea at Roots and Rings every Tuesday.

Since I am super sore from my abs and glutes class last night and I'm having a hard time concentrating on anything right now. SO! I'm also going to do this fun little Ten on Tuesday.

1. Do you prefer markers, crayons, or coloured pencils?
I LOVE crayons. If I get more than one then I like a combo of markers and crayons or crayons and coloured pencils. So that I can outline pictures and color in with a different texture. I love texture.

2. As a child, how did your parents celebrate your birthday? (Parties, cake, you pick the dinner, etc.)
Every even year we had a friends party and odd years were family only parties. We always got to pick our favorite meal for dinner and our favorite kind of cake. (there was ALWAYS cake) Sometimes we got breakfast in bed and we were never required to do our chores that day - someone else would do it.

3. How do you feel about leggings?
I'm not a fan. I think it's a stupid fashion and there is no point to them. I am just not a fan at all.

4. How do you prefer to follow directions? With a map? Words?
I prefer google maps. Or someone who has been there before to tell me how to get there.

5. What do you eat for snack?
Lately it's some kind of vegetable, a fruit and cheez-its. Not all at once mind you, but one of those at some point during the day, every day.

6. Have you ever ordered anything from an infomercial or bought any As Seen on TV products?
no, but there have been times when I've really wanted to.

7. What’s your favourite thing about summer?
the SUN!!!!

8. Do you have a tattoo? What and where is it?
I don't have a single tattoo.

9. Are you good at journaling?
I used to be AMAZING at writing in my journal all the time, but lately I haven't been feeling it so I've sort of stopped. I update my journal about once a week these days.

10.  What’s your favourite way to eat a hamburger?
It has to have a bazillion pickles, mustard and ketchup. Then I like to pick it up and chow down. Dang it. Now I want a hamburger.....

smartness

let's talk about how smart microwaves are for a minute.

microwaves these days have all sorts of cool features. you can tell it what kind of food you are wanting to cook and it will cook it to perfection for you. you can put in the weight of meat and it will instantly defrost it for you...or you can put a bag of popcorn in the microwave, push the popcorn button and it will sense when it is time to stop cooking.

AMAZING!!!

i have just experienced this phenomenon. i am so amazed.
