High Security

The other night we had a little situation. The neighbor's dog got into a fight with a raccoon (both seemed to survive the fight by the way). We were all so freaked out! I was totally crying! Not to mention that the whole scene went down right in our backyard! Randy walked around for two days with his pupils dilated! So ever since our kitties have been on the alert (especially Randy Because he usually goes outside at night).... letting us know of any visitors. We live in an area that has lots of undeveloped land and our community is actually built around a wetland preserve so there are lots of wild animals out our way.

I GOT TAGGED!

10 years ago: So I was 17, getting ready to graduate... woo hoo! I remember counting the days. I totally had "Senior-idus"...I was so exited to be done with highschool.... my senior year was so lame! I had my heart set on Beauty School which I registered for in June 1998. I began my journey of discovering myself, it felt great!...Nat remember the black truck?! We had some fun rides together... wild and free on the open road... hee hee!
5 Things on my to do list:
(1) Sort and organize/deal with all the papers(receipts, letters, statements...etc...) lying around the house! Ugh! they are everywhere!
(2)Folding laundry! My least favorite chore. I like the washing part cuz I use Gain soap and I love the smell.... but then I have to fold.
(3)Workout.
(4)Clean house.
(5)Return library books.
Things I would do if I were suddenly made a billionaire: Well I would save most of it ...you know for a rainy day! THEN... Let the spending begin, hee hee. I would definatley give some to my family. I would hire an awesome personal trainer for sure! I would build a new house that would have every little thing that we've always wanted. I would travel the world and buy a boat. I would go shopping.... clean out the Bebe store. I would take dance lessons and music lessons. I would save alot for our future and our kids. Donate money to the charities that I feel strongly about and I would try to help more people and families. I think it would make me feel selfish and bad about myself if I kept it all.
Jobs I have had: I was a paper-girl; first for Deseret news when I was 12 yrs old then for the crappy "etc" (the most useless paper ever... what a waste of time!), I shared a route with my sis Natalie(Deseret News). It made it easier and funner working with her. My BFF, Cher would sing out at me from her window as I walked past "I'm in love with the paper girl" We had to get up early on the weekends though which sucked! I remember Sunday papers and Thanksgiving papers... they were HUGE!... and if the weather was bad... ohhhh forget it!... Thank Goodness that Dad drove us on those days! Our brother, Kasey Delivered the Tribune and he had 2 times as many papers as we did! I was always amazed how he would cram all his papers into one carrier bag without falling out while he ran. and Nat and I struggled to make half the amount fit into two bags! It was so maddening! And Natalie? How much did we make per month? 30 dollars each? Bull crap if you ask me! Okay other jobs... SnoShack girl, grocery bagger- I remember getting yelled at all the time by beasty people... DON'T SMASH MY CHIPS LITTLE GIRL!.... I wasn't gonna you old hag... do you think I'm stupid enough to smash your precious chips?, which I'm sure you'll dive into once you get to your car! Argh... son of a!, no respect! I am nice to baggers. Okay moving on... hostess at Chili's, Welder, Customer Service, Hairstylist.
3 of my bad habits: 1. I don't always manage my time well. 2. I eat Way too much, I need to control my portions. 3. I need to keep my phone with me at all times... I miss way too many phone calls... it must be so annoying! Thank-you everyone for being so patient.. specially you honey!
Things you may not know about me:
1. I am TERRIFIED of spiders! Snakes, mice, birds(Natalie) I could care less about. But spiders...Yipe!
2. I absolutely can NOT stand the look/texture of the inside of a pomegrante, honeycomb, tripe(a wierd, gross meat at the grocery store)! I am like a cat on catnip!, I have to destroy it. I know! It's the craziest most embarrassing thing! I have learned to control it around people but I just know someday I am going to be caught on film destroying fruit and other objects with the strange texture.
3. If I am going to eat a banana... I absolutely can not stand any brown anywhere on it! I know it's better for you that way...ba ba ba... No! Brown bananas are for banana bread only.
4. Turns out that I am double jointed.
5. Somewhere underneath my girlieness lies a true tom-boy.

I don't know who to tag that hasn't already been tagged so I guess I'll be thinkin of some questions to tag you guys with soon. Can't wait!

With all my siblings in Utah and Missouri and we being in Florida it gets hard... I get so homesick sometimes! I love to look at these pictures and remember the good times when we were always together having a good time!

I love you guys and miss you so much!!!

Kiss me you fool!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
