Confessions...

So I got this idea from a friend's blog, but since I never have anything interesting to post about why not borrow ideas from friends, right! Every...so often (if I don't set a time frame then no one will be disappointed when I inevitably don't keep to it) I'll post some incredibly random, but incredibly true confessions from past, present, or future. So enjoy!

1. I love, love, love Christmas. I am one of those people that wish there was a radio station that played Christmas music all year round so that when I get a Christmas music craving in July I don't have to dig my cd's out of the back of my car. I just love the happy-go-lucky feeling that Christmas time brings. It's also the only day of the year that I appreciate snow. I really do dream of a white Christmas! So if you're in my car and Christmas music comes on when I start the car, now you know why.

2. When I was younger my favorite toys were Barbies. I just loved them. Maybe that's why my favorite color is pink. I think I played with Barbies way past that "acceptable age". We'll say it's because I have a younger sister (though I seem to remember it being me who suggested that we play Barbies every time). And I couldn't just get out one Barbie and one Ken and play with them, oh no. I had to get out all the Barbies, Skippers, Kens, random Disney dolls, and whatever else I had all at once. And clearly the dolls couldn't just live in a pretend house, they had to have the Barbie fold-and-fun house all setup with the white Mustang convertible parked outside (how else were Barbie and Ken going to get from my bedroom to the living room for their date? It's not like they had time to walk). Plus I obviously had to have my entire wardrobe of Barbie clothes out in case Barbie needed a quick change. You never know when Ken might call from the patio (I only had one house so they all technically lived together I guess) for a dinner date. But anyway, I loved Barbies. I think I saved all the ones I had for my girls too...let's hope I have girls!

3. Ok I know I'm way too old for this, but I love High School Musical. All of them. I have the soundtrack for each one on my Ipod, and I know every word to every song. I still laugh at some parts in the movie (like when Troy finally figures out that he's being a jerk and is out on the golf course singing and dancing angrily...then he looks in the water at his strangely clear relflection...odd...), but they still suck me in everytime. I cry every time Troy and Gabriella break up in the second movie, and when Troy says he'll be going to Berkley to be close to Gabriella in the third. I try to blame it on the fact that birth control makes me overly emotional, but let's be honest, I cried in the movies before I was on birth control too.

Well there you have it. Three confessions from me. What do you think? Good idea, bad idea, or right in between idea? Happy November everyone!

WWF Smackdown!

Sunday Sunday Sunday!
See this!









And this!









And even some of this!









Only at Mitchell Stadium! Witness the throwdown of the century as Tony the Tiger battles Carter the Cougar and Jamison the Jaguar. The epic battle of the century Sundays after dinner! (Some Tiger poking required, ask Cougar and Jaguar for details) See previews below!

Yes, we are still alive

Ok, so I know you were all thinking we'd died or something. No one even looks at our blog anymore I'm sure. Everytime I think about blogging I'm busy with something. Then by the time I'm done I've forgotten. But not today!
So let's see...what's been going on in the last 2 months. I'm still working at Seagull as a manager in training. There's supposed to be a new store opening in South Jordan this fall which means there will be a new manager position open, so keep your fingers crossed for me! In all honesty while I am a candidate I'm probably the least likely one as I've been an MT the shortest amount of time (there are, like, 4 others ahead of me), but you never know!
Tony's still working at Jump On It. For all of you who heard about or met the creepy guy that had the big tramp out front, you don't need to worry anymore. He's gone. The owner went ahead and bought the sky bungee from the creepy guy, and the employees run it inside now. I've heard it's really fun! I'm going to have to go down and try it out.
Katey and Justin are back in town now and living in the basement of the house we live in. It's been...an interesting few weeks. It's hard to take two sets of people who haven't lived together before as married couples and put them together in the same house. Different people like things different ways, and it can be hard to find ways to make everyone happy. I think we'll be ok though. It's just going to take some getting used to.
Tony starts school again next week. He's taking 15 credits, mostly business classes. He's pretty excited. He's still going to be working about 30 hours a week too. I love my husband. He works so hard for us.
For those of you who like mystery/thriller books I just read a really, really good one. It's called Methods of Madness and it's by Stephanie Black. It was fantastic! I also enjoyed her book Fool Me Twice, but liked MoM a little bit more. And if you're looking for a mystery series with a cute newlywed couple read Lynn Gardner's Jewel Series. They're older books (the first one was published in 1995), but I love them.
Hope all is well with everyone! I promise not to wait so long between posts next time :)
