View From The Hammock

I got a hammock for my birthday last year and I love, love, love it. I took some pics today while lounging. The first one is the view I had straight ahead and the second was to my right. I really love my yard. :)

Flowers!!

Ashley and I picked some flowers from the yard and she arranged them in the vase for me. Beautiful!!

Nose Ring Hazards

First of all, for those of you who didn't know I have a nose piercing, I do. If you have any questions refer to this post. :) Thank you.

There are a few different types of nose rings. I have used the following:

Nose Bone

Nose Screw

I'm currently wearing a nose screw like the ones shown above. This type comes in two pieces. The peg with the gem and then rubber "screw". See below:

This information is necessary so you can get a nice visual to go with my story. It was just a few days ago that I was sitting at the computer enjoying a bowl of oatmeal and my morning Rockstar and felt my nose ring was a little loose. I touched the gem and it fell onto the desk so I stuck my finger up my nose to get the rubber screw out. Gross, but, necessary. :) It wasn't there so I started to look around on the desk and on my shirt and in my shirt and around the floor around me. It was nowhere to be found. Then swallowing all of a sudden felt weird. I tried to swallow and then tried again. I figured I'd try to cough up whatever it was that was in there. After a forceful "ACK!!" the rubber screw was in my mouth. I had somehow snorted it up without even knowing. What a fun adventure for that little nose screw! There is no moral to this story. I just thought it was gross and funny all in one so I thought I'd share.

Make Up & The Gym

Okay, so at the gym this morning I see a girl with full on make up. I don't get that. I shouldn't be judgemental but why would you wear make up to the gym???? You're just going to sweat it off. I suppose some women see the gym as a singles bar. I don't. Most likely because I'm not single and also because I'm practically sporting a whole other woman with my excess weight. :) Does that mean I could pick up two guys if I was looking? Doubtful. Anyway, I just don't get it. That being said, I do something that some people find unusual, I shower before I work out. I always do. The reason is because I always work out with a trainer. Think about it, no one is fresh down there in the morning. I equate it to morning breath. When my trainer tells me to spread my legs and give him 15 squats I think he'd prefer to not be knocked out by whatever my be emanating from below. So, showering before makes sense to me.

Also, it seems that every time I go to the gym the hottest girl in there ends up working out next to me. What the hell?!?!?! Today I was on the treadmill and I chose one in the very back under the fan. Hot chick comes in and has at least 21 other treadmills to choose from and where does she go??? Two down from me. Are we going for a before and after shot or something? Is she my after or am I hers when she gets married and has a few kids and faces depression and mounds of chocolate? I'm not really sure. Anyway, all hot girls should just stay away from me at the gym because baby I got back. Unless, of course, you're one of my hot friends and we went there together. That would be okay. :)

A Frog With A Dream

Ben created this and sent it to my phone.

It makes me laugh every time I watch it. :)

Just For Fun

You Are Megara!

Charming and witty. You are always the first person to come up with a wisecrack. Sure, you have an attitude, but that's why people love you. You keep them on their toes. Sometimes you can be misleading, but always end up doing the right thing for the people you love.

Which Disney Princess Are You?

I'm Not As Young As I Think I Am

Recently I had some friends visit me from SLC. You'd think we were all 16 again. Swimming all day and then playing Rock Band until 2am. What were we thinking? I'm old. I've been sleeping for days to recover from my lack of sleep and mounds of fun. I'll have you know that I do a mean cannonball in the pool and our band made legendary status so it was all worth it!! :)

Congratulations Stace!

Not Much Going On

School got out on May 23rd and the kids and I have been taking advantage of being as lazy as possible. Ahhhh! It's so nice.




This is all Ben can talk about, dream about, think about, etc. He is in total fish world and now has 3 of his own to take care of. None are salt water (so, far). He's making plans to build a big one and get a stingray.





This is the life of Chris. If he's not on his Xbox360 then he's either eating or in the pool. :)






Eric is still reading films 16 hrs. a day. Thanks for keeping the money rolling in honey!!! Love you!!!




I work out 5 days a week. Or try to at least. Thanks to Joey and Ivan. :)



I also soak up as much sun as I can. Love that vitamin D!!!




And last but not least I am so LOVING my Sonos. Happy Birthday to me!
