As You Wish

We spent Thanksgiving in Twin Falls, Idaho with my mom's sister. She is one of the most hilarious people I have ever met. She is one of those people that says warsh instead of wash and windel instead of window. While at her house I noticed she left herself a note on her refrigerator to go see the dermaloglist. When I asked her about it she informed me it says dermatologist. She corrected her speech impediment by saying that sometimes her tongue just adds letters. Apparently she isn't saying anything wrong it's her tongue playing tricks on her.

On a completely different note... On Black Friday my mom purchased a new set of cordless phones for her house because the old one is not working properly. The old phone is currently located on top of the microwave in the kitchen. I was talking on the phone with my mom and she told me she was reading the instructions for the new phone and it says not to put your phone near a microwave. I told her that must be the problem with the old phone. She said, "Probably...I think I am going to put the new phone in the refrigerator." We both erupted with laughter and Andrew asked what was going on. I told him what my mom said and he asked, "What did she mean?" She said she meant the living room. Sure... living room and refrigerator are pretty close to the same thing. Right?

It is so easy to complain. There are things constantly happening in life that make us upset, frustrated, angry, etc. and it never fails we can always find someone to complain to. Is it because we all claim to be good listeners or is it because when the time comes we want to complain too without feeling like a burden to the one that is listening?

Once again it is the season to give thanks. It's so easy to forget about what we have to be thankful for. Even the small things. It's an everyday occurrence to take those things for granted. I appreciate everything I have and am given, but I'll be the first to admit I take things for granted.

A few things I am thankful for:

• Love.
• Being there for someone no matter what the circumstances may be.
• Being able to quote movies with friends over and over again.
• Family - no matter how crazy they may be.
• Knowing that I am crazy, but there is someone who thinks the world of me.
• Hot water.
• Friendship.
• Work.
• Sleep.
• TV.
• Food.
• Telephone/ Cell phone - even though they don't always work properly, it's nice to have them around.

I'm sure there is more, but that is it for now. Happy Thanksgiving!

• Phone


• iPod


• Camera


• It has its own wireless internet.


• You can use Google maps as a navigation device wherever you are.


• It has a touchscreen instead of buttons.


• The touchscreen does not scratch.


• It was named Time's Invention of the Year
  

Now a list of reasons why it's evil:

• Homewrecker/ Widow maker


• Depending on where you are it can be slow to respond.


• I'm not allowed to play with it for fear that I might break it. (This might be a bit over exaggerated, but it's my story.)


• Andrew bought the iPhone for around $600 and about a week later Apple cut the price by $200. Needless to say he was a bit upset and so was everyone else that bought it at full price, so Apple gave everyone who bought it a $100 in store credit. Thank you Apple!


• I can't decide if this is cute or not...ok so it is cute, but this is in my list of "evil", so I classify this as animal cruelty. If you want, click on the cute little doggy and it will take you to the original story I borrowed the picture from.

Maybe I am just bitter toward Andrew's awesomely horrible new phone, but all in all it is a pretty cool new toy. When I am allowed to play with it (that is under strict supervision) I find it quite amusing.

I am still torn as to whether this phone is all it is cracked up to be or if it is the homewrecker I see it as.

Side note: I am slightly kidding about most of this; I tend to be sarcastic most of the time.

Over the weekend Andrew's parents came to town to surprise him for his birthday. They drove to Winnemucca from Great Falls, Montana. I think they are crazy for driving that far for such a short time, but it was so sweet of them.

I don't know why, but everyone likes this picture but me.

Good morning! I just wanted to wish Andrew a super spectacular happy birthday! Hugs and kisses and the best birthday wishes!

This is going to be the first of many blogs about what I'm thinking, quotes, maybe some pictures, and any other random thing I feel like throwing in.

If you didn't know already I am a very random person. At the moment I have no examples, but take my word for it. I am very complicated at times, but I completely understand my own thought process. I am easily amused. I really like peanut butter and honey together. I think I am funny and that is all that matters. As long as I am laughing at my jokes there is someone that thinks they are funny.

I read a poster at http://www.allposters.com/ that says, "I know I'm in my own little world but that's ok, they know me here." I'm going to go ahead and say that is my motto for the day.

Will Ferrell and John Heder in Blades of Glory are hilarious. One of the best lines from the movie is, "Whoever invented rope is a real a-hole." If you haven't seen this movie yet I suggest you do. It's great.

That is all for now, but believe me there will be more.

Last night Andrew and I were sitting on the couch watching TV like we always do. I started to feel a little chilly and whenever I am cold instead of telling him I just put my hands on him to show him how cold I am. He hates that! He took the folded blanket off the back of the couch and threw it at me. I took the blanket and wrapped it around myself still folded. Andrew said I looked like I was wearing a sash and asked what I had just won. I told him, "Miss Most Beautiful Ever!" We both got a pretty good laugh out of it. Once I came back to reality I unfolded the blanket and draped it over myself the proper way.
