You Make Me Touch Your Hands For Stupid Reasons

For a good laugh, listen to this dramatic reading of a breakup letter.

It's awesome.

There is some language though, so be warned. ☺

25 Random Things About Me

This thing is going around on Facebook and I was just recently tagged on it. I wrote out my 25 things and I wanted to share it on here FIRST! Lucky you guys!

1. My husband and I are die-hard Jazz fans. We have season tickets, but I only go to weekend games. If I’m in the mood to stay up later than 8pm I’ll go to a weekday game. My dream is to one day sit courtside.

2. I have a huge crush on Kyle Korver, and wish that all other female basketball fans didn’t. And if you don’t know who Kyle Korver is… you’ve just made my day.

3. I like to paint my fingernails and then scratch off the nail polish. It frustrates me when it won’t come off easily.

4. My toenails must be painted at all times. If they get chipped or scratched I have to paint them again as soon as I can.

5. I like Rockband (and Rockband 2) but not Guitar Hero. Rockband is so much cooler. Although, I do own the Aerosmith Guitar Hero…I got it for Christmas.

6. I love reading about my old friends from Santaquin. I am friends with most of them on Facebook, but I haven’t seen or talked to any of them in person in years, so it probably sounds kind of stalker-ish. I just like to know what they’re up to, and I often wonder how my life would be right now if I hadn’t moved away from Santaquin 9 years ago. I often wonder if they think about me, or ever miss me when they hang out together.

7. I find tragus piercings really sexy (on women) and want to get one someday. I’m scared to get one because I’ve heard that you hear a little crunching or popping noise as they pierce it. Ick!

8. I was on my high school’s ballroom team as vice president. The president transferred to another team at the beginning of the school year, and I was asked to be president, but I didn’t want to. Looking back, I wish I would have stepped up to be the president.

9. I miss ballroom dancing so much that it makes me cry sometimes when I watch others dancing.

10. I love changing my hair length, style, and color often and I have had my hair every color in the rainbow (but not all at the same time. :-p ). I would like to go to hair school, but I don’t really have the time.

11. I have an addiction to buying jeans. Some brands I own are BKE, Big Star, Laguna Beach, MEK and I want to add William Rast and True Religion to the collection soon.

12. My husband and I bought a house one year after we were married.

13. Ed Hardy is my favorite perfume. I used to think it was Clinique Happy…but after smelling Ed Hardy on me I can not ever go back to any other perfume. Everyone has their one perfume that smells absolutely amazing on them. I am so happy to have found mine.

14. My husband and I own over 350 DVDs and the collection is still growing.

15. Shia LaBeouf reminds me of my little brother, Jared. I think it has something to do with how back-in-the-day Jared used to say “To here, Jenn!” just how Louis on Even Stevens (played by Shia LaBouf) would say “To here, Ren!” So I feel like I have this weird connection with Shia, and when I thought he was dead in Eagle Eye I cried, because I felt like it was my little brother lying there, bleeding. (Sorry for the spoiler!)

16. I love hard rock music, especially when it screams, unless it’s screaming the whole time. I love when you can hear (or feel) the writer’s emotions in their music. Extremely talented singers can get me to feel their emotions without screaming though, like Gerard Way from My Chemical Romance. I still get chills every time I hear The Ghost of You….
17. My favorite pet that I have ever had was a Chihuahua named Hooper. He would sing (or howl) when you told him to sing, and he always cuddled in a perfect spot. He got defensive if someone hit you, or pretended to hit you. Seriously, he acted like he was going to rip their face off.

18. I hate talking on the phone. It doesn’t matter who it is, I hate it. Texting, emailing, or instant messaging are all way, way better.

19. I like wearing high heels more than any other type of shoe. This winter, the only time I’ve fallen on the ice was the one day I decided to wear tennis shoes…

20. I hate having people watch me open presents, any type of present. Christmas, birthday, you name it. I don’t give much of a reaction after opening a present, unless I force myself to, and I don’t want people to think I dislike the gift because of that.

21. My siblings are the coolest people ever, hands down.

22. When I’m driving I enjoy blasting my music and singing as loud as I can. I bet it looks pretty funny to other drivers… but I don’t care.

23. I love to travel. I love going to new places and experiencing new things. My favorite vacation of all time was New York City with my dad back in 2002. I would definitely love to go again.

24. I work for and with some of the best people I know. Sometimes I feel like they spoil their employees. I have never been happier at a job and I hope to work there for a very long time.

25. I sneeze when I eat rich chocolate or dark chocolate. I’m not sure if it’s an allergy, or just a strange reaction. Either way, I enjoy sneezing, so it doesn’t bother me one bit.

Weekend Fun

Happy Tuesday!

I had a pretty sweet weekend.

Friday: Lance went to Wendover, with a friend from work and I hung out at my parents' house for a few hours. I met Elise's friend Reed. He's so cool! Plus, he has cool hair, so... yeah. Then my dad, mom and I went to Cafe Rio. It was delicioso!

Saturday: Lance got home from Wendover at about 7:30am. So I decided to go shopping to let him sleep. I met my mom and sisters Emilee and Elise at the Orem mall. I bought some sexy jeans (I'm pretty much addicted to buying hot jeans). This ones are MEK. And yes, they are hott. The salesguy brought me a bunch of ...unique... shirts, but they actually looked good on me! So I bought one of them that has this like... doiley (sp?) looking collar. Yeah, sounds ugly. In fact, I thought it was ugly until I put it on. I think it looks super good on me though. I also bought a jacket that is also way hott. So.... I spent too much money, but hey, I look good, so it's ok. I also went to Aeropostale and bought Eric a couple shirts for his birthday. He seemed to like them! I think he looks good in them. Um, I also bought the best sunless tanning lotion that has ever been created, at least of the ones I've tried. It's Strike Gold by Bath and Body. I love it. When I got home I woke Lance up so we could go get some food, and then we went to the Jazz game. It was a great day... until the Jazz lost. Ugh. They need to snap out of this haze they're in and be the team I know they can be! That totally sounds cheesy, but it's so frustrating when you know how good they can be, but nobody is playing well!

Sunday: We went to my parents' ward because Jared got set apart as an Elder. It was very special. We then had Eric's birthday party, which was nice. There was food and fun! Plus I got to see my Gramma and Grampa. I love them.

So that was my weekend. This was the weekend I was supposed to be in St Louis. :-(

Cake Wrecks

I just wanted to specifically point out a few new things on my blog.


First, I added a new blog I'm following that is NOT someone I know, but just something that is hilareous. Check out these wedding cake disasters!


http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/2008/12/wedding-wrecks.html


...and my personal favorite...

http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/2008/07/inspiration-vs-perspiration.html

LOL, I love it!

Ok secondly, I added some music to the bottom of the blog. If you don't like hard rock, you won't like. Well, I think I have a couple songs that aren't hard rock, but for the most part...

Loves!

Beyond Glaze.... Way, Way Beyond.

As most (...or some...) of you know, I work for a political data processing company. And today, being the inauguration of Obama, we are having a party! My job is so freakin' cool. We had pizza from The Pie and donuts from this place called Beyond Glaze. OMG! I am not a big donut fan... seriously... but those donuts are the best donuts I've ever had in my entire life. They have super amazing flavors such as Peach Cobbler, Key Lime Pie and I tried a new one today called White Chocolate Mint. They also have Chocolate Ganoche, Strawberry Cheesecake and much much more.... OMG all sorts of amazing flavors! Basically they are a plain glazed donut, with extra frosting on top that is flavored with these great flavors. The best part is, I don't feel like I'm eating a donut, I feel like I'm eating a slice of key lime pie, or peach cobbler or whatever flavor I've chosen.

I would highly recommend this place if you're craving a donut.

PS: Good luck Obama!
