DISLIKES
- I dislike very much people who park in ''my" parking spot. Okay so it isn't technically mine. BUT I park there almost every damn day unless someone else does which is hardly ever. Its the perfect spot under a tree and I made friends with that tree. His name is Mr. Tree and no one else should be allowed to park under my friend. I got to work today at 7 am. WHO IN THE HELL can get to work earlier than that? GROW UP and quit taking my kind of parking spot you asshole!
-Ryan has the flu. In the 6 years we have been together I have never seen his this sick. He is so miserable. I feel so bad for him. I wish I could make it go away. We both need to get the flu shot. I'll be damned if I get that sickness.
-Flu shots. I hate needles. Like, they make me cry. I am not even joking. I haven't gotten a flu shot in 3 years. I saw this video once of this girl who got nerve damage from getting a flu shot. It's called Dystonia. Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder, in which sustained muscle contractions cause twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal postures. Look it up. I swear I would rather get the flu 5243406450564 times.
-Yes, I know the last dislike and the one before it are contradictory. I am a confused and scared little girl! To get a flu shot or to not get a flu shot? That is the question. If I go get a flu shot then I could prevent the flu, but get Dystonia. If I don't get the flu shot then I could get the flu and not get Dystonia. THIS IS A DISASTER.
LIKES
- Chewy Chips A'hoy. A nice lady at my work brought in two packages of this deliciousness. I decided it was worth the calories. I took 3 cookies. 1 for each hand and one for my mouth. It makes perfect sense right?
-A free boot camp I am doing today. I get to do it 3 times this week for free. I am nervous. I like to think I am in decent shape. But, I am really really scared I am going to get my ass kicked and the end result is 1 of 2 things. A) Pass out, hit my head on one of the gigantic tires, and look like an idiot. B) Throw up all over myself OR wait...there is a 3rd result. I could pass out, hit my head on a gigantic tire, and throw up all over myself. I am NOT letting that ruin my awesome free boot camp experience. You wait. Tomorrow I am going to be posting about how I was made for boot camp. You wait.
-I like how it's ok for me to eat 3 Chips A'Hoy because I am going to boot camp later and possibly throwing them up anyways.

Friday favorites 2
I had a really busy week. Sometimes I feel like I can't ever get ahead! But, thankfully today is Friday which means I get to sleep in tomorrow, drink some coffee in bed, watch Gabe's favorite cartoons, and clean my house. Here are my favorite things this week:
1) I am going to my cute Grammies house tonight and meeting all the girls in my family. We are decorating witch hats for our upcoming Witches Night Out event. If you live in Utah and you don't have plans next weekend...you should go. It's so fun. Here is the website to check it out www.gardnervillage.com
2)You are going to make fun of me because I love Ali & AJ. They are sisters famous from being on stuff from the Disney channel. I don't care. I love the song they sing called "Silence". Listen to it.
3) Nature Valley Sweet & Salty Nut granola bar. You need to try the peanut one. It's amazing. My work buys them in bulk and I usually have at least 1 a day. Mmm....

I am a sap
Every single month a lovely present from Mother Nature arrives for me. Only ladies get this piece of shit present.
Men are lucky bastards. I am sure you all know what I am referring to. When I am experiencing this "week of hell" I turn into a very emotional person. I am already a freak of nature when it comes to emotions. I really do wear them on my sleeve. So last night I was driving to get my Gabriel 1/2 sleeve finished. The tattoo shop is about 45 minutes from my work. As I was driving there I was listening to my favorite country station and Kenny Chesney "The Good Stuff" came on. I started singing along and started crying! I was driving and singing and crying. Here are the lyrics:
I am tearing up just reading it over again right now. This song just means a lot to me. Life is so short. You need to take every day and treat it like it is your last. Tell your family and friends how much you love them and treat them that way too. Choose your battles and try to let things go. You can't harbor negative feelings or let something stupid ruin a great friendship or relationship.
I know what it is like to lose someone. I know what it is like to lose the one person that you love more than anything in the entire world. To lose someone that you live and breath for even after they are gone. And even though I spent every minute of Gabe's life treasuring him and the time I spent with him...it was not enough. I would give anything to have just 1 more day with him. 1 more minute.
I just wanted to share with people how fragile and short life is. Being with your family and friends is the "good stuff".

Well, me an' my lady had our first big fight,
So I drove around 'til I saw the neon light.
A corner bar, an it just seemed right.
So I pulled up.
Not a soul around but the old bar keep,
Down at the end an' looking half asleep.
So I drove around 'til I saw the neon light.
A corner bar, an it just seemed right.
So I pulled up.
Not a soul around but the old bar keep,
Down at the end an' looking half asleep.
He walked up, an' said : "What'll it be?"
I said: "The good stuff."
He didn't reach around for the whiskey;
He didn't pour me a beer.
His blue eyes kinda went misty,
He said: "You can't find that here.
"'Cos it's the first long kiss on a second date.
"Momma's all worried when you get home late.
"And droppin' the ring in the spaghetti plate,
"'Cos your hands are shakin' so much.
"An' it's the way that she looks with the rice in her hair.
"Eatin' burnt suppers the whole first year
"An' askin' for seconds to keep her from tearin' up.
"Yeah, man, that's the good stuff."
He grabbed a carton of milk an' he poured a glass.
I smiled an' said: "I'll have some of that."
We sat there an' talked as an hour passed,
Like old friends.
I saw a black an' white picture an' it caught my stare,
It was a pretty girl with bouffant hair.
He said: "That's my Bonnie,
"Taken 'bout a year after we were wed."
He said "Spent five years in the bottle,
"When the cancer took her from me.
"But I've been sober three years now,
"'Cos the one thing stronger than the whiskey:
"Was the sight of her holdin' my baby girl.
"The way she adored that string of pearls,
"I gave her the day that our youngest boy, Earl,
"Married his high school love."
"An' it's a new tee-shirt saying: 'I'm a Grandpa'.
"Bein' right there as our time got small,
"An' holdin' her hand, when the Good Lord called her up,
"Yeah, man, that's the good stuff."
He said: "When you get home, she'll start to cry.
"When she says: 'I'm sorry,' say: 'So am I.'
"An' look into those eyes, so deep in love,
"An' drink it up.
"'Cos that's the good stuff.

Halloween past and present
Halloween is coming up in 26 days! I love Halloween. It brings two of my favorite things together in one magical night! Dressing up and candy. I love candy more than almost anything. And when it is free candy...then it's like my brain is going to explode. In the past when I was really hot and skinny...I would dress up like a whore bag on Halloween. Example A)Cassie and I dressing up like a slutty lady bug and kitty cat.
The picture above was in 2007 so I think I was 22. Those were the days....
Here is me in 2009. I had two costumes. I got a red shirt and hat and made a Gabriel and the Chipmunks costume. Instead of a big red "A" like Alvin wore, I did a "G" for Gabriel. I loved this costume because it was for my sweet baby and he loved all the Alvin and the Chipmunks movies. I think he has every single one that ever came out (which is like 10 or so) I made one for me, Gabe, Ryan, and my Mom.
Then my second costume was fun too. I wore it that night to a friends party. My Grandma and I bought the stuff and she made me a way awesome poodle skirt. I felt like I could be Elvis Presley's groupie.
Last year I had gained some weight from some stupid ass medication that didn't even work. And so I couldn't feel cute and sexy and get a cute and sexy costume. So I was this debacle. Me and Natalie...behold:
I know you are licking the screen and humping your desk.
Like I said, I like dressing up. I met Harry Potter once when I went to Hogwarts and he was nice enough to take a picture with me. We got along really well and we chat on facebook and text sometimes.
A few years ago the girls in my family went to this fun thing called "Witches Night Out". You dress up and shop basically.
This year my friend Natalie and I came up with the coolest costume yet. Here are some examples:
Now our costumes will be 10 times better and I will probably look incredibly sexy and wealthy.

Monday likes and dislikes 13
Hello there! I am having a great day because today is my 3rd anniversary to the most wonderful man I have ever met :) The only dislike I have today is that I didn't meet him sooner in life. He has been there for me through so much and helped me through the worst times in my entire life. He makes me incredibly happy and I am thankful for him every single day. He is the best husband and the best Dad. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him.
