Day 9

I'm back! I decided to pick up where I left off on the 30 days of me!

Today is pictures of my celebrity crushes....

I really only have one....

Ooohh laaaa laaaa!

Breaking up

Dearest Diet Coke,

I'm sorry, but I have to leave you. It's just not working anymore. I know, I know, we had some great times together. You were always there for me on those long car trips and stressful days at work. No one will ever get rid of a headache like you. Yes, my love for you was the stuff romantics wrote sappy love songs about... But I just can't do this anymore.

No, no, it's not you. It's me. I'm ashamed to say I have found a new love. His name is Water. With the changes I'm making, we just seem to fit better together. Water knows how to meet my needs in a way I never thought was possible. Water keeps me from eating more than I should. For these reasons, I feel we must part.

Please know, this goodbye will definately hurt me more in about two days than it ever will you.

Sincerely,

Me

In case you were wondering....

Just in case you were wondering....I haven't disappeared!

I'm not vacationing in Austrialia,

I'm not laying on a beach wearing my flip flops,

I'm behind this stack of tax returns.

I will reappear on April 19th.

Mr. Obama extended the tax deadline 3 days,

something about a holiday in DC on the 15th.

Thank you Mr Obama for extending my busy season.

Day 8

Day 8 - A song from my childhood

I can't narrow it down to one song. I have to go with a whole album. They Might Be Giants - Flood. I have loved this album ever since the day it came out in 1990. I call this my "happy music". You can't listen to this album and not laugh and be happy. I first bought it in cassette form. I wore that cassette out and then bought it in CD. I have worn 2 CD's out and now have the mp3's on my ipod. I have the whole album memorized from the first song, to the last, in order. I can sing the whole album, ask Alton.

Day 7

Day 7 - Favorite Recipe

I've fallen behind. I would love to give you an awesome excuse...but I have none!

Houston, we have a problem! I'm not a cook. I can do basic things like grilled cheese, and anything that goes in a crockpock, and I make killer pancakes....from a box!

Our favorite staple for wintertime is Potato Bacon Soup. So I will share this easy crockpot soup recipe.

4 large potatoes

1 package of turkey bacon

2 cans Cream of Chicken

3 cups of milk

3 Tbs basil

8 oz sour cream

Cut potatoes, cook and crumble bacon. Mix together in crockpot with Cream of Chicken, milk and basil. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Add sour cream, stir and serve. This is delish in a bread bowl.

Day 6

See my side bar? Over there? ------>

Those are my favorite blogs.

I don't read many blogs of people I don't know. I don't read many blogs period. I would like to read blogs of certain people more often, but they don't post.

Day 3

Day 3: A picture(s) of me taken over 10 years ago.

I decided to give you an assortment!

This is Becky and I. We were friends all through junior high and high school. We are still friends :) We took this picture for our YW leader while getting our senior pictures done. I know there is a story behind it, but since it was *cough* 18 years ago, I can't remember the full story. (Terry, if you happen to read this, can you remind me)

Good ole Ricks College days. This picture was *cough* 17 years ago. A bit of advice? Once you have a flour fight, do not, I repeat, DO NOT add water. It makes a huge sticky mess!

The mission! I want everyone to take a good look at this picture. Note I am using a sewing machine. It's about the one and only time I've used one and my finger was the only thing that got sewn that night.

And last but not least.....this picture is about 33 years ago. This is me and my cousin Paige on a family camping trip. Don't you love my awesome red plaid pants!

This girl's having a birthday....and she's 4!

Here's the annual birthday video.
