Now it makes sense.

Thank you to burntmustard for posting this on her blog!

WOW

I love my truck and all but I don't think I would EVER go this far!! Maybe if I am not married by the time I am 30 I will consider it...... uh not.

Thats just the way it is.

I have started this new obsession of cross-word puzzles in an attempt to expand my vocabulary. For the record it is NOT, I repeat not working. It has words such as linen, wishes, yells, sensible, and snaffle. Snaffle? there is one I don't know, lets look it up...

Noun
1.
snaffle - a simple jointed bit for a horse; without a curb

Thats the extent of it. Just for fun I looked up implore to ensure that I am using it correctly.

While completing one puzzle I was stumped for a good 5 minutes on 1 word and I was getting rather upset. I stopped, took a step back from the situation and pondered. The word was ROMANCE. Go figure that I couldn't find it.

love.

Group Birthday cards..

At work I am on a team of 11 people. For the most part we are all friends so we celebrate each persons birthday with a card and a cake. Nothing fancy. WELL, each time that card gets past around I can't help but read what everyone else before me wrote. It's a sad, sick addiction.

If I am lucky I am the last person to sign it and I get to ready all of them, and noone gets to read mine. This is my favorite thing. I am pretty sure that everyone else sneaks a peek at the other messages before they write theirs.

ALSO being last ensures that I can be the funniest. Noone else can read what I wrote and top it. This delights me.

So happy birthday DEB! I now know that Joseph considers it a pleasure to work with you, and Ben just agrees with Joseph, and kyle doesn't know you that well yet, and Mandy thinks your great, Frosty is happy for you. No one knows that you rock my socks when I don't even wear any.

Hate crimes?

Rembered when I vandalized my friends cube with tin foil? YEEEEAH well he paid me back today while I was at lunch. What a great cube friend....

lotion on the desk. candy wrappers. All is a mess! He wrecked it all.

Stuff on the floor!. PS. look at how nasty that floor is! Gross.

emptied out the contents of my drawers. Even took my silver balls out of their case.

He even dumped out all my makeup. punk.

ALL ABOARD

Bandwagon oh how I have missed thee!! What you don't understand is that you hit a bump a few miles back and I wasn't prepared or holding on, so I fell off! Its been a rough walk to get back to a point where I could jump on but I MADE IT!! I have missed the great way you make me feel!! Let me show you what I have been doing to help get back on.

This is what I like to eat for breakfast. Doesn't it look like a picture for a advertisement? Its just amazing.I am always confused as I eat it because it actually tastes good, so it can't be good for me, RIGHT? wrong. It's called Wheatabix. You can buy it at sprouts in the cereal isle. Buy the cubes, not the flakes. *NOTE, Sorry Natalie, you can't have this. :(

To put it all together you:

1. take 2 of the cubes and put them in your bowl. Drizzle Honey over the top, don't get carried away with the goodness of the honey!

2. Add a little of each of the following on top. almonds. sunflower seeds.dried cranberries. fresh berries like blackberries, strawberries, blueberries. peaunuts, ets. GET CREATIVE!! You can also put your favorite fiber powder to get that extra kick in your day. ;)

3. Then put milk over it. I like to use a soy milk, its better for you and you can't taste the difference. More milk is better because the wheat sucks it up really fast!

AND THAT MY FRIEND IS THE BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS.

Let me know what you think when you make it! :)

WEEKEND

What a great weekend that I had!! It was a blast though. It was nice to finally stay here in the valley and be with friends for the weekend. I planned a quick trip for friday night to head up to Payson and do a little dutch oven cooking. I was REALLY excited because my friend Charles was going to be able to come and we had talked about doing this activity together but due to unfortunate circumstances he wasn't able to make it. Bummer dude because he TOTALLY missed out. The weather was perfect and we had a good crowd turn out. It was nice to get out of the heat. We couldn't find the exact place that we wanted to go to we just found a spot to pull off to the side of the road. We were there about 20 minutes when a sherriff shows up. We started worrying, are we allowed to be here, are we allowed to have fires, we are so busted, yada yada yada. Well he walks up to us and awkwardly looks at our fire and says, "we got a call that there was a HUGE fire off to the side of the road." I look at the fire and in my head think, dude. I could pee on this fire right now and it would extinguish it...and I haven't had a drink in 2 days. All of a sudden words came out of my mouth that I just couldn't stop because the situation was so funny. I say, "well was it a mouse that called you? Because that fire would be big to a mouse." I sweetly smile at him while my friends gawk in disbelief. Luckily the officer has a sense of humor because he only looks at me and says that no it wasn't a mouse. He askes how long we are staying, I invite him to have a hot dog, he says no and away he goes. Coolio.

I brought my couch! This is how many people you can fit on it.

My cobbler. For how good it was, I still couldn't finish it.

See those 2 boys in the back? The ones that look like the 2 guys from without a paddle that live in the middle of nowhere and harvest the marajuana crops... Yeah those are the guys. These are 2 boys that Jakeb went to high school with. He hasn't talked to them since high school but they saw on facebook that we were having cobbler and they asked if they could come along. I tried to put myself in their situation. Asking an old friend if you can come along. I would ONLY do that if I knew the person really well, or had the most outgoing personality so that I could make friends easily with those at the party. Well these boys didn't have one of those things going for them. They hung out in the back the entire time and didn't talk to anyone, and noone talked to them. At first I felt bad and tried to create some interaction with them but then realized it was no use. One of the boys picked up a rock and told me that was there defense against bears.

REALLY DUDE?
After we ate everyone was hanging around the fire chatting. I had my truck backed up to the fire so I put some tunes on. We all had a good time listening to NOW 5. It took us all back to the day and we were enjoying it. WELLLLLL I guess that these 2 boys weren't enjoying it. One of them got in their truck, backed it up to the fire, right next to mine, and put different music on LOUDER than mine. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Now I am one to appreciate the type of music they put on, I happen to like rock but the average LDS person does not. So everyone just looked around like ...what just happened? The dude gets out of his truck and hangs out on the tailgate. I had no choice to go turn my music off because it was overpowered by my name is earl.

Jeremy and I.

Everyone just chillin. Creepy dude still being creepy.

Jakeb is such a stud and cooked the cobbler for his first time. Charles was GOING to cook it but....

The ladies.

Joe and Jakeb.

Roasting the dogs. see how small the fire is! haha

I POKE YOU!!

This is the sunset we saw on our way there. I love Arizona!!

ROOMMATES!! First roadtrip ever with them. We missed sister...

Did a few other things this weekend... Bought a green notebook to carry with me and write my thoughts. Watched I LOVE YOU, BETH COOPER. It was a lame movie and I don't recommend it. Went to my new ward. Helped Julie pack.

i complain. much too often. i think it's my standby. if i'm uncomfortable, or there's a lull in the conversation--i'll start to complain. note to self: change this. immediately.

bequested- I like this word

i am glad i wore dark jeans today

I lost in the fight with the sink.

i try to do whats right, unless its something i really want to do.

i qualify for 10 hours OT next month. i wish I swore so i could say, hell ya bitches

i envy people who can use words in a way that excites the mind and touches the heart.

somedays i want to shed my skin and start over

the feel of the morning sets the mood for my entire day. this was a good morning.

creating a 30 before 30 list is on my to do list. i cannot do this because i am stuck pondering if i should put tasks i have already completed on this list. Ex. skinny dipping. books i have read. achievements.

my favorite LOUD sound is thunder. favorite quite is rain.

Eating healthy is important. to me.

Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.

We had a great weekend! There was much family and food and fun! We attended the W.B. Eagar family reunion. It started out with a cook out at Pinky Turley's house. The next day we hung out at the park all day starting with breakfast, family meeting, and an auction. Later that night we all got together for dinner and a talent show. It was fun to see everyone that we haven't seen in years. The next day, Sunday we had Prestons Farewell.

It was fun to have the Ricks' with us! They are great about coming to all the family get togethers!!

I am going to miss this guy so much! He has been such an examply to me in my life, even though he is the younger brother!! Its hard to think of him as being so grown up. I once introduced him to a lady friend of mine as my little brother. He pulled me aside and said, mern, you can just call me your brother. I am older now and I am not so little. haha. He is off to serve in the Birmingham Alabama Mission. He is going to come back a fattie I think. If I miss him too much I just may have to fly down south to say hello and get some chicken.

Grandma and Grandpa Jensen made the trek down from Idaho with the Ricks'. They are so sweet and adorable! Best grandparents anyone could ask for.

We went up Big Lake road a bit to go shooting. Being up there brought back some memories in high school where we were shooting off a fire extinguisher.... Good times.

Saturday we all went out shooting. Tyson just bought a new gun and wanted to try it out. here is Lindsey shooting Dads Glock. I think its a 45. ( I don't know gun talk)

Sara and Dad's Shotgun! Whoa woman! Note to self, never make Sara mad when there is a gun around....

(She wouldn't hurt a flee.)

My adorable sister in Laws! I am so thankful they made their way into our family!!

Put on your mean face kim!! :)

I didn't hit a one clay pigeon. They are just to fast for me. It was fun anyway.

Elly and I rode the 4-wheeler home and got caught in a downpour!! The rain, which I normally love, Turned into bullets! It hurt so bad. That night I ran into a family friend and he said, Um was that you riding the 4-wheeler in the storm? You were laughing hysterically and whoever was behing you looked terrified. LOL.

I had to laugh or I would cry.

The bro (not little bro) Dallin. Thanks for letting me ride the 4-wheeler home in the rain. I think he knew it was going to rain and thats why he let us take it. sneaky little...

ummm.... Yeah. Sometimes the family meetings aren't that interesting so we need to make our own fun....

I LOVE Aunt Winnie. She is the sweetest spirit! I think she was quite the spunky little missy in her day. She confided in me that sometimes she sneaks off on her own to visit Uncle Leon. Leon is her husband that is in a home about an hour away. She isn't allowed to go by herself, but she does!! That would be so hard to have the love of your life so close but then again so far.

Me and Miss Chloe. She is as cute as a button.

Chilling at the park during the reunion. Aunt Bev was great about figuring out how all my dads family fit together. Gram and Gramps know a ton of that side of the family already.

Like I said, It was a great weekend. Eagar is such a beautiful place and I would love to move back there one day to raise a family. There is just something about a small town that you don't get here in the valley. I don't need all the shopping malls and great restaurants.

Dear Obama

Independence is happiness.

Susan B. Anthony

Maybe someone should fill Obama in.........

Getting very excited!!!

Its official.... Lindsey and I received our passports last night from the boys in blue. AHHHH! That means we can leave the country! SWEET. Not only do I get to go to Egypt but now I can leave for Mexico whenever I want. This brings a smile to my face. Bring on the beach, tacos and mariachi bands. There is nothing better than John Mayer in the ipod and my toes in the sand watching the sunset. Viva la Mexico.

Very excited about Egypt as well. We leave September 9th and return on the 22nd. There are a few things I want to do while I am there. Number uno is RIDE A CAMEL. I just hope it doesn't spit on me. Other things are

Pyramids
Red Sea
Felucca ride on the nile
Head over to Jerusalem to check out the Wailing wall
There is a HUGE market for shopping and I forget what it is called
Pedicure, they are cheap cheap. I want a different one EVERYDAY.
Go to the LDS branch over there ( mom informed me I get to give a talk...bleh)
PARTY PARTY PARTY with cousin Sarah and her BOY.
Go to the Village where Uncle Adel grew up.

So thats the plan and we should be able to complete all that in the time over there. I have the plane ticket paid for with a thousand dollars and the promise of my first born child. Now I just need to save up spending money. I want plenty of spending money. I am only going to be there once in my life so I don't want to feel restrained. Does anyone want a soveneir? :)

It finally clicked!

Wow! Its weird how satan knows just how to get to me and I just barely realized it! Its okay though because its good that I know now. I love to play. I go and go and go everyweekend and I come back to my life every monday just as tired as I can be. I am not a happy person when I get tired. I am grumpy and miserable. I also have noticed that I am a lot harder on myself when I am tired. My mind doesn't stay straight and i start thinking badly about myself. So lots of negativity comes from something as fun as a trip to Eagar. I am going to be more selective from now on about my traveling and stay home more often so I am not so worn out and grumpy.

Music for the heart

I am very much a musical person. I was having an interesting day yesterday and these 2 songs really hit me. Its weird how you understand a song in a different way when you are going through different things in your life.

Song for him

I got a new lifeYou would hardly recognize meIm so gladHow can a person like me care for youWhy do I botherWhen youre not the one for meIs enough enoughI saw the sign and it opened up my eyesI saw the signLife is demanding without understandingI saw the sign and it opened up my eyesI saw the signNo ones gonna drag you upTo get into the light where you belongBut where do you belongUnder the pale moonFor so many years Ive wonderedWho you areHow can a person like you bring me joyUnder the pale moonWhere I see a lot of starsIs enough enoughI saw the sign and it opened up my eyesI saw the signLife is demanding without understandingI saw the sign and it opened up my eyesI saw the signNo ones gonna drag you upTo get into the light where you belongBut where do you belongI saw the sign and it opened up my mindAnd I am happy nowLiving without youIve left you all aloneI saw the sign and it opened up my eyesI saw the signNo ones gonna drag you upTo get into the light where you belongI saw the sign and it opened up my eyesI saw the sign

Song for her
Fake, you're a genuine loser
You're a fake, you're counterfeit cool
You're a fake, a professional user
You're a fake
My world would be better without a fake
I try to keep faithIn the emperor's clothes
To me you're just naked
I guess I like the stage show
If I give up pleasure Will I lose the pain
I think it'd be worth it
Next time I'll find the real thing
You're a big drama queen
You don't know who you want to be
You're so lame
I think you'd do anything
Just to get what you need

MEP 2009

Well I figure its time to report on MEP. It was grand as always! I am so thankful that this reunion was started so that I could get to know all my cousins! There are so many! Its hard to keep all of their kids straight! They are all adorable though. I have a great family! Its all due to the fact that Grandma and Grandpa taught their kids how to behave and do what is right. Then they passed all that onto us! So guess what we will do? PASS IT ON! :) The circle of life. sigh. I suppose I will just help teach the nieces and nephews till I get a few munchkins of my own. I am in no rush. We had MEP at Cub canyon this year right by a roaring river! It was very load but it put you right to sleep at night! Everything was so green. The talent show was a lot of fun. Sarah, Val, Lindsey and I put a skit together and that was a lot of fun to practice and brain storm. I was disappointed that we couldn't get grandma and grandpa to do the 3 wooded pigeons. That is always my favorite. :*( Maybe next year.

Brian is the man.

Eating dinner! Yum.

Wouldn't it be grand to live here?

What a hot mama!

Nice sunset.

I have a thing for this type of picture.

Here are some other things I want to blog about that have been on my mind. I just don't have the time right now. Maybe another day....
1. when things going wrong in a relationship the person always claims the other person is "psycho"
2. What's with all the fake cops in the Utah towns.
3. poor mosquito that bit my bum.
