I will probably not post pics of my fun times I have with my family because this is not an proper blog for that. And I do not want to hurt anybody's feelings that may not have been invited to the event. PLEASE do not correct my spelling or grammar. I will not do the same to your blog.La La La Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11559346793068663931noreply@blogger.comBlogger128125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5444269459422203568.post-60796601069097639682011-09-06T20:55:00.002-06:002011-09-06T20:56:13.335-06:00New blogOk... here is the deal I have a new blog. <br /><br /><a href="http://forlmandg.blogspot.com">CLICK HERE TO GO TO IT.</a> <br /><br />If you go there you will know why.

It was a year ago! Well somethings happened.
<br />
<br />1) I got pregnant and lost the baby when I was 14 weeks ago. It sucked.
<br />
<br />2) I got pregnant like 8 weeks after that. Sweet
<br />
<br />3) Found out I had gallstones... painful.
<br />
<br />4) Had a baby 3 months early and spent those months live in the NICU.
<br />
<br />5) Got my gallbladder removed
<br />
<br />6) Met some awesome people in the NICU.
<br />
<br />7) Got sweet baby #2 home
<br />
<br />8) Quarantined at home so #2 does not get sick.
<br />
<br />WOW... during the time #7 was going on... I thought WHY DID I NOT BLOG ABOUT THIS?!?!?! WHY WHY WHY... I really wished I had. So I will pick up blogging again... because dang it is FUN. And it will be fun to relive the past 3 months and share awesome things with people... more so than FB or Pintrest witch are both fun in there own ways.

A good time.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.watblog.com/upload/Image/cokecreative.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 474px; height: 345px;" src="http://www.watblog.com/upload/Image/cokecreative.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />I just wanted to share a little story about my weekly shopping trip. This week it happen on Monday right after I took young son to his Dentist appointment. He did SO GOOD and I guess he did not have any cavities, because nobody told me. But he did not cry and scream. He did much better then I do at the Dentist. The Dentist appointment was at 9:30 and we were done by 10!! Wow you can be impressed. <br /><br />So we head to Albertsons... which was bought out by some company is now called The Fresh Market. I think its a stupid name and it will always be Albertsons to me. It is pretty much just like the other grocery store here and town and they have the same things on sale each week, So I am kinda bummed by that and sometimes forced to shop at Wal-Mart. But back to the shopping trip! All is going well I get most everything I need and some I don't. Diet Coke was on sale 5 cases for $14 and I was Happy because this is a BIG score so i buy 5 cases!! Now this is key because I have a cart of groceries, toilet paper, I mean my cart is loaded down with food and 2.5 year old and most importantly coke. So I check out and not to bad I did not have a heart attack. I head out the door... now my 5 cases of coke are on the bottom of the cart and one slips out and falls off the cart and I run over it and bust it open, and the cans go EVERYWHERE. I freak out a bit and run to catch them... because 1- I don't want to loose my coke and B) I don't want to cause an accident or damage to a car... I did not think much of this UNTIL I told the story to one of my classmates and we are both just busting a gut laughing... Can you image me running around the parking lot trying to collect rolling cans of coke?? haha I am glad I can about it after the fact... also I am a little embarrassed that I left my son in the cart in the middle of the parking lot while I was getting my coke.... but not to much. Hope you had a good laugh! And don't call Social Services on me.La La La Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11559346793068663931noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5444269459422203568.post-67974643756798804392010-03-08T07:36:00.000-07:002010-03-08T07:36:00.159-07:00Things I LOVE!!If you know me, you know I have a big screen TV. well two, and HD Directv. Yes, we are a little nuts for TV. HOWEVER my husband and I are TV snobs! We just won't watch any crap movie on Lifetime. NO, but we will watch anything on BBC once or TWICE.. I am proud to say I have never seen ONE second of American Idol. Nor have we seen Lost or 24..... not sure why. I thought I would share some of our FAVORITE shows with you!! BECAUSE I care! <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/jalopnik/2008/10/Top-Gear-Russia-2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 494px; height: 277px;" src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/jalopnik/2008/10/Top-Gear-Russia-2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />1. Top Gear This show is so freaking funny, and can be found on BBC America or BBC2 if you live in London. 3 male host that test drive all kinds of cars and do all sorts of Crazy challenges! Some of my favorite challenges: The 3 host, from London, drive cars they buy for $1500 in Miami up to Alabama than to Louisiana.. IT WAS CRAZY, I laughed, cried, I did not wet my pants. So you may not be into cars, some I have never heard of most I have never heard of. OH and they do have segment on their show where they put "A star in a reasonably price car" Where they take a British star who most of the time I have not heard of and they basically race a Chevy Colbot around their race track. Its a good time, I hope you and your family can find time to watch it. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://images.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/20080709/425.mad.men.070908.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 425px; height: 315px;" src="http://images.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/20080709/425.mad.men.070908.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />2. MadMen. You know it is on AMC and I have blog about it before. 1960s Advertising men running a muck in NYC. Also on Netflix. You should also watch this show. It has won many, many, many awards for everything.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.freewebs.com/the-last-of-the-timelords/abc.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 416px; height: 300px;" src="http://www.freewebs.com/the-last-of-the-timelords/abc.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />3. Dr. Who and Torchwood. I love them you probably won't. So I won't go into to much detail, because you can't handle them. Torchwood should probably not be viewed by anybody that has or wants morals. They are both Sci-fi and can be found on BBC America. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bgavideo.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/the-office.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 410px; height: 308px;" src="http://bgavideo.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/the-office.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />5. The Office!! Can you believe Jim and Pam had a baby!?!?! I am so happy for them. I love that show. I fear that show may not be on much longer because of the Baby Effect. It is a well know fact that producers, writers, whoever often feel that when a show is not doing well the best way to spice it up is to have someone have a baby... This only worked once on the show Friends. But back to The Office, I am one who loves the show, and I don't care about how you hate it because it reminds you of your office... Why do you hate it?? It looks like a lot of fun working at Dunder Mifflin Paper. I don't get it !?!?! I won't even go into how i hate The British Office....<br /><br />So what are you favorite shows?? I hope it is one of those or else I don't care... well no I am always looking for new awesome shows.La La La Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11559346793068663931noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5444269459422203568.post-43186142798110122462010-03-01T06:18:00.000-07:002010-03-01T06:18:00.182-07:00Long time, no blogFirst I would like to say I am sorry. I have let you, my reader and friend down =( Well crap you let me down by not coming to do my homework and house work.... or at least email me and offer. But I thought I would blog about crap because I just bought a ticket to my first blogger conference! So I figured I need to blog and keep it semi updated so i don't look a fool when I show up there..... SO you want to come ?? You probably won't for 2 reasons 1) you can't write it off like I did... it's $150 and 2) you don't live in utah and all that comes with that. But if you want to here is the link: <a href="http://www.casualbloggerconference.com/">1st Annual Causal Bloggers Conference </a> and 3) someone threaten to beat the crap out of me if I did not go and support her.... her and her snuggie will remain anonymous <br /><br />I also signed up to be a sponsor and give away 100 of my waxes to put in swag bags.... I would have been announced sooner but my husband has not finished my web site. =( So if anybody wants to finish it let me know and I guess we can work out some kind of payment. <br /><br />School is going well I bet I have like A's in my two classes. or maybe not but at least B's I am pretty sure I am going to only take one class this summer. OH and we got new couches on Friday they are PIMP!!! <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs450.ash1/24806_1359094264058_1432564371_1027072_6907629_s.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 130px; height: 98px;" src="http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs450.ash1/24806_1359094264058_1432564371_1027072_6907629_s.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Oh yeah speaking of snuggies and people Kristina P is doing a snuggie drive for the old and afflicted.

I thought it was funny and had to share! <br /><br />On another note off topic.... my wax business has taking off... and by that I am several hundreds of dollars into it so I need sales people!!! please visit me here: <a href="http://www.pomwax.com/test/">BUY WAX FROM ME HERE</a>. It is still the test/beta web site so go test it out and see how it works! I promise I have google check out so how can you go wrong with that!?!?! <br /><br /><br />here is your funny ha ha Astronomy post!! <br /><br />This weeks assignment is to write our feelings and observations about a sunrise or a sunset. Oh do I have some feelings about them!! We could do one or the other and since I am NEVER up to watch a sunrise, I quickly crossed that off. For the past 5 years I have seen the sunset every day. Ok not everyday but most days. I am pretty sure our family room window is perfectly aligned with the sun's setting path, because most days that is how I see it and all its "splendor". What surprises me most about this, is that I see even when the sky is cloudy and gray and have not seen the sun most of the day. That is because when the sun sets it gets lower and lower out of the atmosphere and shines/blinds me for a good 2 hours as it sets. So I pretty much hate sunsets and refuse to look at one for fun or for school. I see the effects of it every day EVEN when I close the blinds it still comes in. IT IS COMING IN RIGHT NOW as I type..... Another thing I hate about the sunset and when it rises for that matter. Is the fact that it blinds you when you drive!! How dangerous is that!?!?!?! I am convinced the sun is out to get us... If it dies we die... It annoys us sometimes. But we need it, so how can something we need so much cause us so much annoyances ??? To sum it up... I hate the sun but we all need it and it is forced upon me even when I don't care for it... I did not even get into sunburns, yet another reason to hate the sun......La La La Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11559346793068663931noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5444269459422203568.post-67054167839564456182010-02-08T10:26:00.003-07:002010-02-08T10:35:57.177-07:00recipes and giveaways!!Oh its time for a giveaway but not from me!! Kristina P and Jenny Mac are both hosting giveaways!!! Kristina is giving away tickets to the Casual Bloggers Conference here in Utah. Jenny Mac is giving away a Jimmy Choo Bag AND a $100 gift card to this Women's apparel store Cosabella. I had never heard of them, probably because it is super high end. On a side note when I entered the gift card give away I left some smart comment about the sizes of the bra and how I thought they were different. They are, I had never seen sizes 1,2,3,4,5 in bra's...... well I got a very nice email from a Company Rep telling me all their sizes and this and that. I was very impressed by her. So much so that I want to win all 3 giveaways... So I am not posting links to these you have to go find them. HAHAHAHA but as a boobie prize I will post a recipe that I found yesterday in Southern Living. I know none of you get that magazine but it is my FAVORITE. The Recipe is Chicken Parmesan Pizza.

The Duggars and Jesus. Now I just happen on a story today that just melted my little heart then kinda made me stop and go did he just do that ???? <br /><br />So last week Josh Duggar was working at his used car lot in Arkansas along with his brother... who names I forgot, but I am guess starts with a J.. I think John. Anyways apparently their car lot is on a busy highway... go figure put a business near a busy highway. But Last week there was a pretty bad car wreck and for some reason, probably Jesus, one of those cars envolved in said wreck pulled off into the Duggars Used car lot... Now I am no expert or have been in a car crash, Thank you Jesus, but aren't you suppose to say there until the cops come? I mean yes you can move you car if its in danger... I don't know someone please let us all know. But hang on it gets worse There is a little girl in the car and see passes or out or something and Thank Jesus John (who is also a volunteer firefighter for real) was there to start CPR and Josh was there to call 911... Now she did not pass out due to meeting The Brothers Duggers, no this was caused by the car accident. *WHEW* So that's pretty bad but the EMTS and the Brothers Duggars save this girl. THANK YOU JESUS. The Duggars also credited Jesus a few times. Now that is an awesome story.... But I think what impressed me the most was that during all this Josh was able to record the whole thing................................. <br /><br />I don't know is that Kosher or even right?? I am pretty sure I would not record in that situation. And I have been in 3 situations where I had to call 911 for whatever reason and my thoughts were not OMG where is the camera this will be the greatest episode ever. Probably because I am not a reality TV star and don't carry a video camera with me. But don't you just think that was a poor judgement call??? And Lucky you guys!! you can view the <a href="http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/showbiz/2010/02/03/dnt.duggars.save.life.knwa?hpt=T2">video HERE </a> and let me know what you think. <br /><br />Then I got to thinking about baby #19 Baby Josie, and haven't heard anything in awhile about it so I went to check it out!! But their personal web page was down and everything I could find on googles 1st page was from 6 weeks ago so I guess she is still in the hospital.... I am sure we will hear all about her coming home when it happens.La La La Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11559346793068663931noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5444269459422203568.post-59343714243061992122010-02-01T07:09:00.000-07:002010-02-01T07:09:00.360-07:00Famous!Guess what I am famous now!!!

She is also a mental health professional, so I am not sure why she is aiding in this really unhealthy obsession of that I have for her.... OK I am not OBSESSED I just think she is cool and funny. not obsessed.... there are blogs on here that are NOT about her!!! Its a pretty cute picture of Micah and Micah hiding in my snuggie... I guess she did not want to use this pic: <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdkJAPBJok9gt2P31XLVfLX4OxHpWU7GB3-MpZ5K4lLBmgQKseCiOf4jPsnutFtbNe6AoTItS2sdtJnA80iy0gI89mw2ZMj5a5PDujREyakPo99dAs8J2Z3BfJ2qTJUr00-veGT9V9zVw/s1600-h/2009-12-25+20.40.11.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdkJAPBJok9gt2P31XLVfLX4OxHpWU7GB3-MpZ5K4lLBmgQKseCiOf4jPsnutFtbNe6AoTItS2sdtJnA80iy0gI89mw2ZMj5a5PDujREyakPo99dAs8J2Z3BfJ2qTJUr00-veGT9V9zVw/s200/2009-12-25+20.40.11.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433126743706436066" /></a><br /><br /><br />Yes, that is really me.... yes i am wearing my PJs, and Uggs... Yes that is a Sham wow... and No that is not my car.. and yes it is like 11 PM Christmas Day.... Its ok if you stop reading my blog I will understand. <br /><br />School is KICKING my butt.... I don't even want to talk about it. Also I am sorry I don't read or comment on blogs anymore I pretty much suck so it will be ok, and I am only going to take one class a semester from now on. ME = FAIL.

CAUTION: you may learn somethings from reading it.. so don't read if you are easily bored and don't like the panets or NASA. Hope everyone has a great weekend and I wanted you to know I AM ALIVE. <br /><br />Due to the fact of the inversion and new moon I could not see any stars or the moon, so I decided to do a internet project. I really did try to go out a few times and even looked up on the internet to see what phase the moon was in.... It will be hard to see until next week! The project I chose was to look up different space missions to each of the planets, our sun, and an asteroid. After looking at the assignment paper again, I wonder why our moon was not included, I know there have been a few mission there. <br /><br />I was surprised to learn about how many space crafts we have sent up and for whatever reason they were unsuccessful. How frustrating is it to spend millions of dollars and years working on something only to have it break and be destroyed within seconds of taking orbit?? Never the less NASA has continued to build and have successful missions. All of my info can be found at a <a href="http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/index.cfm">NASA web site</a> detailing all of past, present and future missions. On a side note NASA takes advantage of using different missions to visit multiple planets, moons, and whatever they can that is why some have the same info. <br /><br />The Sun: I was surprised to learn how many missions included gathering info about the sun. We can not obviously send anything to the sun with out it getting destroyed, so when ever they can get close to it they try to collect data. Thats is what they did on the <a href="http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/missions/profile.cfm?Sort=Target&Target=Sun&MCode=Genesis">Genesis Mission</a> (2001-08) It collected solar winds from the sun to study. After collecting everything it returned to earth and landed in the Utah desert. Which I thought was cool because I live in Utah. Now the solar winds are being studied and learning tons from it. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://helios.gsfc.nasa.gov/sun_sm.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 288px; height: 253px;" src="http://helios.gsfc.nasa.gov/sun_sm.gif" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Pretty much all the other missions to other planets have been to collect different samples of the atomosphere, dirt, air, and this and that. Or to map out as much of the landscape as possible. That is cool in all but I don't really want to blog about each mission to each planet... and study for my test and this. I will share my favorite mission of the whole project.<br /><br /><a href="http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/missions/profile.cfm?Target=Saturn&MCode=Voyager_2">Voyager 2</a>: It was lunched in 1977, before I was born CRAZY. I has been traveling all those years and is still going collecting data! WOW that is pretty dang awesome to have a machine built in 1977 that is still going strong..... But it did find some cool things about Neptune, like 3 new rings and 6 new moons. I hope any of you reading click on the links on the page to learn more about this and the other missions. I could not write everything about all the missions, so I just wrote about some highlights and things I thought were cool! <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://pds.jpl.nasa.gov/planets/images/browse/voyager/voy05.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://pds.jpl.nasa.gov/planets/images/browse/voyager/voy05.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />Next Project: I am leaning towards writing about a sunset or sunrise...

I am really really trying to find my groove for doing school work, house work, son work, husband work, cooking, laundry, and blogging. I have pretty much given up any sort of social life or friends..... *sorry* Unless you call me or stop by.. OR EVEN better email me or be facebook friends with me!!! yeah So If I don't blog much and you miss me something awful you can look me up on the facebook!! leah.gorrell@gmail.com Please leave a msg letting me know who you are so that I can either reject or accept you! And I will probably still have to up date my Astronomy blog because it is my final project and I want an A in that class.... Also I have never wanted to get As in my classes before how old and responsible am I getting??? Oh my History class is going well lots of work and material to cover in not a lot of time... Its really hard to cram 3 chapters into 2.5 hours of talking......... <br /><br />Also on some humbling notes: I read a news story about Haitian Orphans, It pretty much sucked and made me cry ... It does make me feel a touch better that I prayed for them and that I give my husbands money to <a href="http://www.unicef.org/">Unicef</a> monthly. <br /><br />#2 I started reading <a href="http://nieniedialogues.blogspot.com/">Nie Nie</a>.... For those of you not in the know she lives here in the Provo Area and was in a HORRIBLE plane wreck and almost DIED. And her blog talks about all the things she has been going through and her positive attitude about things and life. I like that her blog is real and she talks about the the good and bad of everything. And that sometimes things are very painful and it sucks bad, but she knows she will get through it and she tries to have a positive attitude. She is my hero. Maybe someday I can have an awesome attitude like her ;)La La La Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11559346793068663931noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5444269459422203568.post-77435799224940813292010-01-14T14:53:00.001-07:002010-01-14T14:55:01.532-07:00Astronomy recap!!Because there was some interest in my class work in this class I decided to share my other blog with you!

But I got a celebrity to agree to be interviewed by ME!!! Not only did she agree but she returned the interview in a timely matter and with pictures!! Score one for me!! If you can guess it is KRISTINA P!! now you may remember when I met her if not you can read and see a picture <a href="http://leahdotgorrell.blogspot.com/2009/09/celebrity-blogger-meeting.html">HERE</a>. <br /><br />A little bit about our guest: She is a very funny chick that blends the best and worse of pop culture together, which often leads me to wonder if she is serious and did she really just say that!?!?!? She also picked me out of 330 people to win her grand prize on her last give away. I was shocked! I probably should have asked her a little bit more about her....... But uh she is really nice, funny, and is a social worker. I will have to say that my favorite thing about Kristina, is that she always leaves me a comment no matter how crazy my post or how late or early it was posted.... thank you. HOLY CRAP... i hope this interview is not the down fall of her... what did Kristina just do!?!? So check out her awesome <a href="http://adamandkristinapulsipher.blogspot.com/">BLOG HERE</a> and enjoy her interview of questions I slapped together because I was sure she would not say YES to little old me and I have been really busy with school work. *complete with REAL pictures from her collection*<br /><br /><br />1. Do you remember that time we met and I mauled you with my baby stroller?<br /><br />With the help of intensive weekly therapy, and Valium, I have been able to move past that incident. And by “move past that incident”, I mean have daily night terrors about it, where images of Dr. Phil and Mario Lopez flash before my eyes. You can’t even imagine the horror.<br /><br />2. Yeah, that was an awesome day huh?<br /><br />Yes, awesome. Like having to watch puppies and rainbows be tortured, awesome.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ66OGKaDCgUnjQ4A-mZ1aOxlqZ7shmXu2w7mEbf88JFiD6Pb5HhJLeH6LZQ2od2Fe2G6sgf9X3G0z57PoegvNk9z65rjdnJM7sYP6eqZByADwummv-09EZhLKvypTZwFYT9djGHncAUI/s1600-h/oprah.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 261px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ66OGKaDCgUnjQ4A-mZ1aOxlqZ7shmXu2w7mEbf88JFiD6Pb5HhJLeH6LZQ2od2Fe2G6sgf9X3G0z57PoegvNk9z65rjdnJM7sYP6eqZByADwummv-09EZhLKvypTZwFYT9djGHncAUI/s320/oprah.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426073699019187602" /></a><br /><br />3. You work with at risk youth.... that kinda makes you almost like Oprah huh??<br /><br />Are you saying I’m fat? Yes, I am just like Oprah. If Oprah punched kids in the face and called them derogatory names. I am very good at my job. <br /><br />4. Have any of these "youth" tried to stab, stock, hurt you? I am kinda worried for your safety....<br /><br />I don’t know what “stock” means, but for the sake of this interview, I am going to assume you mean “stalk.” Sadly, no. I really wish I had a great story to tell where I was shanked by a kid. However, my coworker drives a van that we call “The Kidnapper Van”, and that is honestly more frightening than anything a kid could ever do to me. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2juXKTdc5wD7GEOnfoAbWOxt-zEWcI-auNiL47dY4WClhhllkAycC6A_o7hPlb9Jf8hQ3B9yEg5GYuHA0A-HsyZK5j-7ichBvmcNPJ2nwfe-katUxP7gN9kptL-Bno8AAFLZBFJnUBvo/s1600-h/neck2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2juXKTdc5wD7GEOnfoAbWOxt-zEWcI-auNiL47dY4WClhhllkAycC6A_o7hPlb9Jf8hQ3B9yEg5GYuHA0A-HsyZK5j-7ichBvmcNPJ2nwfe-katUxP7gN9kptL-Bno8AAFLZBFJnUBvo/s320/neck2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426073419387574914" /></a><br /><br />5. Am I the weirdest person you have ever met through blogging?<br /><br />I would say you’re the third weirdest person I have met through blogging. I once met a person who likes to eat pennies and whose role model is OJ Simspon, and I met another person who was institutionalized in a State hospital for a while, so I would say you come in a close third. <br /><br />6. Do you talk to me on Facebook, because you are scared of what I might do if you don't??<br /><br />Yes. Please don’t Poke me or send me a pink sheep.<br /><br />7. Wanna do some homework for me?<br /><br />If your homework entails laying around on your sofa, watching “The Bachelor” and making puns about how he’s a pilot and he can land his plane in my airport of love, then yes, I will do your homework for you. <br /><br />8. What was your Favorite Subject in School?<br /><br /> HYPERLINK "http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Electrical-Engineering-and-Computer-Science/6-041Spring-2006/CourseHome/index.htm" Probabilistic Systems Analysis and Applied Probability<br /><br />9.

Did you ever take pic of your in your snuggie for www.thepeopleofwalmart.com ??<br /><br />Sadly, no. This would mean I would have to spend some time in a Walmart, and I only shop at classy, high brow places like The Dollar Tree and The Salvation Army.<br /><br />11. Your love of the snuggie has gotten kinda out of hand huh?? A joke gone horribly horribly wrong<br /><br />I think it really depends on your perspective. Some people might say horribly wrong, others might say horribly awesome. Honestly, as you know, The Snuggie is life changing. Just like Moses parting the Red Sea, Noah building an ark, and other miracles of yore, The Snuggie is our modern day miracle. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7sMiIOlgkXmlPdwGJWplef96hem8tpdomdzpFd0ldvY4vQas9DbHmm1d96bdUY2xVIGIDox_3vQWE0RtXrYn8SyaIqvdSajG3dLoJsW3EhTDxBj4ng9lh0ohpQAV8w_bC5-OFzGvXRJM/s1600-h/us12.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 302px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7sMiIOlgkXmlPdwGJWplef96hem8tpdomdzpFd0ldvY4vQas9DbHmm1d96bdUY2xVIGIDox_3vQWE0RtXrYn8SyaIqvdSajG3dLoJsW3EhTDxBj4ng9lh0ohpQAV8w_bC5-OFzGvXRJM/s320/us12.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426074058706904258" /></a><br /><br />12. Wouldn't it be cool if we were neighbors??<br /><br />Well, sadly, my Naked Neighbors apparently received the gift of modesty for Christmas, as well as curtains, so their exploits have been lacking lately. But, we do need someone to fill their rather well endowed shoes, so if you are willing to be naked in front of your well-lit bedroom window, or have sex on your balcony, in plain view of your neighbors, you are in. <br /><br />13. You can say no to that....<br /><br />14. Does my grammer and spelling bother you??<br /><br />Oh, no! Not at all! Just like Jon Gosselin being a complete jackass, who steals money from his children and cheats on his wife, with their babysitter, doesn’t bother me at all.La La La Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11559346793068663931noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5444269459422203568.post-41929397664393784202010-01-08T07:19:00.003-07:002010-01-08T07:19:00.533-07:00Different Panic Mode....So after going to my two classes, I am in a different panic mode... One about my books and two about the amount of work that is required of me to get an A in each class. I don't remember this much work given to me when I went to college 8 years ago. I would show up to class take my notes, write a paper or read a book here or there and take some test. HOLY CRAP times have changed. I will now discuss the work I am doing for my two classes and a little bit about each class and the book drama.<br /><br />ELEMENTARY astronomy. Every week I have to read the assigned chapters, do the home work and observation assignment for each week. I am not sure what those are since we had a SUBSTITUTE. Yes our regular professor is off at a conference presenting research. Which was probably why I was confused when I walked in to class and man was standing in the front talking to the students about computers. I thought I was in the wrong class or that the pervious class was getting over. Because I want the Astronomy class taught by a lady. So I sit, I am 10 mins early then more people trickle in and come to find out I was in the RIGHT class and the other people were shooting the shit and did not care what I thought or who I was. <br />They did not know that I write a semi-famous blog. <br /><br />Moving on I still don't have my book yet, i will probably go buy one this weekend because I need to start reading up on the cosmos, so I don't fail so far behind that i have to drop out and have my husband divorce me for wasting his money. I may start a Astronomy blog because I need a "BIG PROJECT" demonstrating what I have learned and the suggestions where music, art, or dance and I don't do that in front of people especially if it is about stars and planets. <br /><br />American Civ: This is kinda of exciting because I LOVE history, political sciences and all that. The teacher seems pretty cool and knows a lot of stuff and he really really likes to talk. The class only meets once a week so that is not like the Astronomy class that meet 2 times a week. So I am looking forward to that.... NOT all the work I have to do, like read the entire book, write a summary on each chapter, attend a City Council meeting of my choice, read this book called 1776. and study for test and write essays... I also have book drama in this class being that the book I purchased is 2 editions behind and stops at President Clinton. Compared to the book I am suppose to have that is twice as big and talks about the Iraq war.... So I think I will be purchasing another book, because I would like those last 2 or 3 chapters.... and the 50 % more info........ Don't ask me how I did it... I swear when I ordered my book I checked the editions..... UGH. <br /><br />Don't these people know I have a son who has demands that do not include me doing homework?? Don't they also know that I a have to keep my house sparkling clean, entertain all my friends, diet, budget, get out of debt, be perfect and pretty, and on and on and on.... and blog!?!?! I will admit that I did not do half those things, but I wanted to reiterate the demand that I feel people EXPECT from me 24/7. Oh and run my new business, make dinner, and make sure my husband has clean clothes.... <br /><br />Now, Now, I know you all feel that way to sometimes, and I read those blogs... so now read my pity party blog. Also I don't remember that much work back when I was at Community College... I guess work on a University level is hard... Maybe there was that much and I was just 19 and did not care...... <br /><br />An another note I wrote this on Thursday evening and just post dated it for Friday morning I don't get up that early.... I think I did in the summer but not know I am dead. xoxoxLa La La Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11559346793068663931noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5444269459422203568.post-12778872090469256602010-01-06T13:39:00.003-07:002010-01-06T13:48:35.978-07:00Panic!!So I am pretty much having the mother of all mothers of a panic attack!! Why ?? tonight is my first class since May 2001 when I dropped out of college last time... drop out sounds horrible, I will just say back packing through Utah from now on... Oh yeas I have been on a 8 year back packing trip =/ I should figure something else out. But back on track... YES i am super nervous Did I tell you that the Class was PHYS 1040 and PHYS stands for Physics.... what the crap was I thinking?!?! It is called Elementary Astronomy, we will see about that!! Also my textbook I ordered Dec. 21 for that class is not here yet..... I am pretty sure I can get by the first class with out the book but we will see. If it is not here Monday I will be looking for another....AHHHHHH tomorrow is American Civ and I just love History and I have that book so I hope that is a class I will enjoy and maybe learn or remember stuff I already knew. I will blog Friday and let you know how both classes went. Ugh so nervous and talks for listening to me ramble... I just posted so I would get some comments to make me feel better.La La La Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11559346793068663931noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5444269459422203568.post-24159128384755373202010-01-04T06:22:00.001-07:002010-01-04T06:22:00.193-07:0020-10Happy Twenty Ten!!! How futuristic of me! I think I will say Twenty Ten instead of Two-thousand and ten... how lame and old fashion is that???? Also where is my flying car and robot maid, while we are at it??? <br /><br />So to update you on my revolutions.... I think most of them are broken within 10 days so that is why I did not say exercise and loose weight. Also that is on going and does not even deserve to be up there with my other IMPORTANT ones. <br /><br />1: Stick to my budget!! Why yes I have for 3 days.<br /><br />2: Classes start Wednesday so I will update you later in the week. I have not received my Astronomy book in the mail... It started in Connecticut and was last seen leaving Denver... So here is hoping that it gets here Wednesday.<br /><br />3. I have not had any diarrhea this year. <a href="http://www.guidofistpump.com/">*FIST PUMP*</a><br /><br />4. Wrote my dinner blog and now I am writing this blog *DOUBLE FIST PUMP* I should be on that crap show on MTV or something I hear/read that is all those kids do, throw their fist up in the air and wave them like they just don't care...... LAME<br /><br />5. Not pregnant.... I still have my IUD up in my hoo-ha... for all those concerned about me having another baby... i will take a picture of when the Physicians Assistant at the OB/GYN takes it out because you all wanted to know when I am having another baby and this is the beginning of it.. =) I am thinking like March-ish <br /><br />6. So I have broken this resolution, It probably did not even last 24 hours.... It is hard to be nice to your husband 24/7.<br /><br />7. I am on Facebook 24/7(probably the reason for the failure of #6) I do have a cafe to run..... My farm bit the dust and was ruined. And I got kicked out of my Sorority. AND I need to see all the crap my rich "friends" from high school got and got their "awesome" kids.......<br /><br />8. I ordered my cookbook!! AWESOME. I was told by JennyMac that I should cook from Giada. I don't know about this 1) Giada is HOT and SKINNY.... how can I trust a skinny cook? 2. I like Italian and I know how to cook Italian. But I am keeping her as my back up. Can I just say how humbling and awesome it to have someone like JennyMac write you an email?? Holy Cow. Thanks ! <br /><br />So did you notice that I have 8 resolutions and then the next paragraph I talked about how the number 7 is awesome and this and that blah blah blah.... I went back and added the cooking one after the fact.... YES i am the future teacher of your children... I am starting to rethink all this. HOWEVER, I took a test on the facebook and I did say I was a way smarter then a 5th grader so I am safe teaching K-6th.La La La Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11559346793068663931noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5444269459422203568.post-54953578144474669422009-12-31T06:55:00.001-07:002009-12-31T06:55:00.095-07:00Happy New Things!!!Happy New Years and New Blog layout!!! Oh did you notice the new blog background?? Oh yeah don't you remember when I won it a few months back?? Well its up and running and awesome to look at. Now you have another reason to be jealous of me.... I could go on and on about all the things but I won't. So the tabs you can click on them and they will take you to all sorts of new places. They are all fun and exciting and will not take you to porn!!! PROMISE. Oh don't click on the Wax Products button yet, it will take you no where. Moving on! But a BIG Thank you to Kristina P for picking me to win her "random" giveaway. And to April Showers for designing it for me! Her link is at the bottom of my blog, forever. and well if you read me you read Kristina. Now moving on. <br /><br />So today is New Years Eve! How exciting. I am making cheese fondue, in my new fondue pot. I know it will totally rock. I have been thinking about my Revolutions this year. yeah yeah yeah me and hub call them that instead of Resolutions.... It just sounds cooler and makes them sound more serious. So here are mine....<br /><br />1. Stick to my budget that I made. I was doing really, really well until the Holidays... this year I should start saving now for them. And this is how rich people stay rich.... I should have not said that I am going to get beat down from the other club members. But they I mean their servants. They don't like sharing THE SECRET. <br /><br />2. Go to my classes, enjoy them, and the work I will have to do in them. And Try to make B's in them unless they are really really hard then I will take a C. Like my brother in law said " C's get degrees" Ahhh our future leaders and in this cause account... I think he is well on his way. ;) But he only got one C this past semester and the rest were As and Bs. <br /><br />3. Try not to have diarrhea of the mouth... I don't know how well this will work since it does make for a good blog. <br /><br />4. Blog like 3 times a week or when something really awesome has happened. Or if I am faced with a life changing question. And I will update my "Whats for dinner" blog every 2 weeks because I am super excited about that! *see above link*<br /><br />5. Get Pregnant. I am just so sick and tired of people asking me when we are going to have another one. So fine. I will have one in 2010 or 11. HAPPY... and you all owe me a baby shower even if its another BOY. =P ALL OF YOU. I do like making major decisions in my life based on what people want me to do. <br /><br />6. Be a better wife.... Delicious, Heathy Meals are just not enough. i should really try to listen to my husband when he talks about computers and what not. But I did start riding a bike this year!! <br /><br />7. Spend less time of Facebook... but I will not try that hard, and I may need it for my homework. <br /><br />8. Buy a Juila Childs Cookbook and make something... Yeah Yeah I saw that movie and it inspired me to make something fancy. <br />And apparently she was a really good cook. I would like one of her personal cookbooks with all her handwritten notes... but that would probably cost me a fortune. <br /><br />So there you have it and I will try to do those Revolutions and keep you updated on all 7 of the. 7 is my lucky number and one of my favorite numbers! SO HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I love you all and think of you often and thanks for reading my blog.La La La Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11559346793068663931noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5444269459422203568.post-78967176449233246732009-12-27T06:29:00.000-07:002009-12-27T19:38:07.748-07:00Parade of Homes Spanish Fork EditionSo every year Utah County puts on a Parade Homes, which includes the newest, the best, and the biggest, and every year my house is some how left off the list =/ Maybe its because our house was built in 1998. Maybe its because most homes are bigger then our 1750 sq. foot home. .. any how I want to put on my own Parade and welcome you into my 2009 Holiday parade of our home. Oh and there was great demand for seeing pictures of the remodel after my "little meltdown" so here you have it. Sit back and enjoy the tour. And grab a cookie or two and some punch.

A "friend" posted a link on the facebook and I just had to pass it along to you. If we were facebook friends you would have seen it, but we are not because you know i have personal info on there and well I am just smrt like that. SO a disclaimer uh its pretty creepy and shoo the children out and you have been warned this may give you nightmares and keep you up at night for awhile... which may be good since you are like me and probably have a lot of crap to get done <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.holytaco.com/25-creepy-mall-santas">25 WORST MALL-SANTA PICTURES OF ALL TIME </a><br /><br /><br />I won't even post any pictures just in case you want to sleep.

Well besides NOT cleaning my house so I could take pictures of it for you...... I started another blog. HA Only because I got a few emails about my awesomeness of having 31 nights of dinners planned. So I decide the best way to share those with my friends is to make a blog about it!! How awesome is that??? Well go check it out, uh no dinner menu's yet, but do your thing so when I do post them you will know. <br /><br />Oh Yeah about the pictures of my house, I pretty much live like a hobo even when I do have working appliances. I have been catching up on Dr. Who with the hub, got a 2ND stomach bug, and we have people/family coming over to our house on Christmas eve for a PAR-TAY.... so you will get your pictures on the 25th... what an awesome gift from me to you... yeah what did I get from you????

Every year I feel like it's out to get me, but every year I take a few items off of it. Like the one year, by that I mean every year I have to go to 7 different stores just to find the items needed, No wonder they asked for them. HA. Its not like they are hard to find, socks, shoes, clothing, jackets... Crap like that, but the problem I run in to is that sometimes those items are PRICEY... like shoes or a jacket. Why did I choose such items? Well my mom goes to that church too and she and I go in on the items and by that I mean she picks them off the tree then I BUY them.... OR the fact that I don't think we should even do a tree since half the families from church are on there so what's the point, not our job we should find a rich church to sponsor us...... There is some History on my feelings....... 4 years now.......<br /><br />SO This year I beat my mom to the punch!! I picked out awesome stuff off the tree!! I got their early and got TOYS this year FUN FUN FUN toys like a Nerf Gun and LEGOS! That is what Christmas is about anyways, NOT SOME CRAP SOCKS AND PAJAMAS... I did pick socks off, but poo I PICKED TOYS. But as I am looking over the tags on the tree I notice 2 items that kinda took me back a bit... NO this was nothing like the one year we almost got stuck buying the Cottenelle moist wipes... uh huh.. So glad we did not get those. But gift cards... yeah $25 gift cards to local restaurants..... I am not sure how I feel about that. So I said something to my friends that where near by and who could possibly be on the tree, I don't know its anonymous you know. But I am pretty sure it was my tone, what I said, and the fact that I pretty much say what every I want without regard to anything, " WHAT THE CRAP, WHY ARE PEOPLE ASKING FOR GIFT CARDS!?!?!?" NICE. and my friends looked at me kinda in shock, confused, thinking, all in one. Like they were trying the find the right thing to say to ME... Well Maybe our Bishop suggested it to them or maybe they want to on a date.. YEAH those things. <br /><br />I don't know, I don't go on dates I am married. I would not suggest to people in need to go out on a date that will probably result in them spending money on a baby sitter or paying the difference in total vs. gift card. Money they would not have spent if they had not got said gift card. But on the other hand I can see wanting to go to the restaurants, they are good and fun... I can see wanting to go there on a date with my spouse.... But should I or someone else have to pay for that??? I don't know I am troubled and torn.... I feel bad for saying to my friends... I feel bad they are on there, I feel like to make this better I should go back and get those tags... But then I think hey I have and could be poor .... Would that be the thing I would ask for??? Should those have really been put on the church tree?? Shouldn't they save up for their date night??? I don't know I have a lot a questions and thus the reason for blogging two days in a row!!! I need your thoughts on this.

So Yesterday... I noticed a smell coming from upstairs, I go to investigate because i was about to be pissed at whoever pooped up stairs and did not tell me. So guess what It was coming from Mine and Hubs room! GREAT, I go in and on OUR BED is throw up that smells BAD... REAL bad I know its not the boy because he does not throw up without me knowing all about it. And I know that our dog did not poop on our bed because he knows he would not be living with us... So i decide and I am sticking with that our dog threw up on our bed for whatever reason and he later threw up on the new floor... I am chalking it up to the fact I made him stay outside all day yesterday when the new floor was put in and the fact that it smells like new floor and glue and that our house is all messed up... I don't know if you know this or not but dogs, like small children, do not care for change and chaos .... So anyways I am in a panic because I do not have a working washer or dryer due to the floors and them wanting us to move everything and blah blah blah.... So what do I do I put it all in a laundry basket and take it over to my neighbors house, almost in tears and go "my dog barfed on my bed can i use your washer?" OH YEAH She goes OH DANG.. and says NO PROBLEM because Leah you are the best and I live to serve you.... hahahaha well kinda.. you can guess what part I did or not did make up. <br /><br />To to Honor My Best Buddy Neighbor Sister Friend, I decided to devote a whole Thankful Thursday and publicly declare my love and thankfulness for her and her family. Not only for letting me use her washer AND dryer but all the other crap I make them do... And not only is this Thankful Thursday it happens to be Guest Blogger Thursday as well So here you go Meet and Love my neighbor Leanne.... She does have a blog and its a family blog and I don't know how she feels about me posting it for all to see but she can if she wants.... So here is the unedited and very true guest blogger spot! **also note happy meals and lunch was bought for her and her family today so I did kinda make it worth her wild and I made some comments which I made in italics... as not to confused like last guest blogger.... anyways.** <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">How long have you been our neighbor??</span> Too long. Just kidding. 2 1/2 yrs.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Do you think you would have bought your house if you had met me first?</span> It wouldn't have mattered- there will always be a crazy neighbor no matter where you live. <span style="font-style:italic;">Thanks that makes me feel so much better........ But its really really true. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Do you remember the time the animal skull stared at my house for all of last winter?? yeah that freaked me out. Why did you really put it there?</span> Because we are lazy and didn't feel like moving it. Also, we couldn't decide if we wanted to keep it, so instead of keeping it in the garage we just left it in the snow to stare you down when the snow melted enough. My favorite part was that Scott left the eyeballs in the skull so it would look like it was following you when you moved. hahaha <span style="font-style:italic;">This is very very true, and really happened, I forgot about the eyeballs. But when I had my window open and sat in my spot on the couch I could see this skull that had half its skin and tissue left on it and it would look at me.... I did not like it but I liked having the sun come in and I liked my spot on the couch.... I was a hard winter. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Are you sure you aren't scared when I say things like.... I am going to move next to you if you ever move away... OR You can put a home on a piece of our estate some day??</span> No, because you feed me yummy meals like Taco Soup or watch my kids when I forget to get a babysitter. Also, who else would mow your lawn and how would I get my internet for free? <span style="font-style:italic;">I say this a lot and think about it even more</span>. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">I hear you have like 12 brothers and sisters, are you going to have that many kids?</span> As much as I love giving birth and having babies, I don't think we'll have that many. Actually- I know we won't have that many. Scott said that he isn't above castrating himself the same way he did the cows growing up... So, right now we have 3. I wouldn't mind a few more. Just don't tell that to Scott.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Are you impressed I know all their names and have met half of them?</span> I am impressed that you know all their names. Some of the names aren't that common of names either. I think the only one you haven't met is Holly from England or Nicki from Arizona. So, 2 out of 9 isn't bad...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">How do you feel about Dinosaurs?</span> You really had to ask me that... I will admit that I have spent most of my life not believing they existed. I know- what about all the bones and fossils? I'm still not convinced they are real. I just have a hard time wrapping my mind around an animal being SO big! And why did they all die? No clue...<br /><span style="font-style:italic;">This is a new thing I learned about Leanne a few days ago.... My husband CAN NOT and WILL NOT get over this... and made me ask her like 3 dino questions. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">What were your extracurricular actives in High School?</span> I was involved in band and choir all through HS. I was sure that I would go into music when I got older, but decided that I just really don't care why music is made the way it is or who wrote what. So, I'll just sing in church and funerals the rest of my life. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">So you shoot guns for fun! Are you a good shot and is this something you have always done?</span> I do shoot guns for fun! It is one thing that Scott and I did a ton of while dating. We never went to see movies or other things- we went camping and shooting. I would like to think I am a good shot. Let me ask Scott... He says I'm a "great shot". Thanks honey. :) My dad hunted every year and he had 2 safes full of guns, but growing up in a hoity toity, uppity town, we never went shooting with him. He'd let us shoot a gun at our cabin during the summer, but I would attribute my mad gun skillz to Scott. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Did you know you can hunt animals with a sniper rifle in Utah? Any thoughts?</span> Explain sniper rifle... any one of my "hunting" rifles has the capabilities of being a sniper rifle due to the fact that it is high powered. Scott says you can play sniper with any gun. I think the difference is that when I look in my scope there is an animal there. Not a person. <span style="font-style:italic;">Oh I guess I don't know that much about guns ???</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">If you could be any Dinosaur what would it be and why?</span> More dinosaur questions- I would say brontosaurus, but I already got the downlow from your husband about that "species". So I will a T-Rex since I love me a good medium rare steak everyonce in a while and you'd have to be a carnivour to enjoy that. <span style="font-style:italic;">Its really an Apatosaurus <br /></span><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">I know you aren't a "famous" blogger, But do you have any favorite blogs you would like to share?</span> I have been on a craft blog kick lately. I really like <a href="http://makeitandloveit.blogspot.com/">makeitandloveit.blogspot.com</a>, <a href="http://theidearoom.blogspot.com/">theidearoom.blogspot.com</a> , <a href="http://projectsforyournest.blogspot.com/">projectsforyournest.blogspot.com</a>. There are lots others, but I won't bore you. I do like <a href="http://www.nieniedialogues.blogspot.com/">nieniedialogues.blogspot.com</a> but who doesn't! I can't think of any others right now... <span style="font-style:italic;">So whats up... you don't like my blog... SHAME</span> <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Do you think we spend to much time together?</span> No <span style="font-style:italic;">Ah nice and simple no need to get all weird and tell me how you really feel. =) </span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Why don't you have a piece of plywood up in your master bedroom window, like the last people who lived there??</span> Because I am a exhibitionist who doesn't care who sees me in my bedroom... hahaha. Just kidding. I don't even like to see me naked. Why would you. I'm just cool unlike your previous neighbors. So, don't worry. I won't run over your lawn and I won't put plywood up. <span style="font-style:italic;">That is really true...</span>.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">If we could hunt Dinosaurs, today what kind of gun and ammo would you use and why?</span> Remember when dinosaurs didn't exist... :) I would use my trusty Sako 270 b/c it used to be in John Travolta's possession (long story) and a 140 grain Triple Shock bullet from Barnes Bullet. (sorry, shameless plug for Scott's work.) <br /><br />So there you have it! I do have a awesome neighbor and she will probably read all your comments and go read your blog and not leave a comment. But that is OK we can still be friends, Can't we??? Happy Thursday and Let us know if you have any questions.... They may or may not get answered.La La La Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11559346793068663931noreply@blogger.com9
