The Final Countdown....

Well, it's official, I'm going to turn 30 this year. I don't think I'm worried about it, really I didn't want to do anything special at all, but I decided to make a list of 30 things to do before I'm 30, like my friend Ana did. It was kind of fun, and hopefully will serve as a distraction.

So as the final countdown begins. (138 days to go), I'll introduce you to my list:

30 for 30

Write a song for the guitar and perform it.
Run a 10 minute mile.
Teach Hurley a circus trick.
Get Sunny out of my head.
Learn to Salsa.
Fix my cemetery.
Transplant flowers from Cody's house to my house.
Write on my blog 30 times.
Go to the temple 30 times.
Start a public blog. (should i write about water or sleep disorders?)
Read the Book of Mormon.
Write real letters to 30 friends or family. (if you want one, let me know).
Make homemade cinnamon rolls.
Make fortune cookies.
Make egg foo yong.
Sew a levi quilt.
Go scuba diving.
Tour the copper mine.
Score over 300 points on family history extraction.
Go on 1 date.
Lose 30 lbs.
Learn a new song on the piano.
Go to a party.
Wear high heels to work for 1 full week.
Retake the GMAT and score over 500.
Hike part or all of Timpanogos.
Go on an American Roadtrip to see the Redwood Trees.
Patronize the Hill Aerospace Museum.
Host a Rosca de Reyes/Groundhog Day Feast. (you're invited)
------ (no #30, any ideas?)

I'll be posting updates on each of my list items as I progress and/or accomplish them. It could really end in disaster. Oh, well.

See you in 138 days, 30, until then depress someone else!.

Sugar.

I felt like making a special tribute to Sugar, my long time friend. From a very young age I began a relationship with this delightful substance. My mother would add Karo syrup to my formula, and we haven't been parted since. I think to say that I love sugar is an understatement. I love water, I love hotdogs, but Sugar?...I can't survive without it. Although avoiding diabetes could be impossible, I can't resist. Whether it's a brownie for breakfast, a little sugar packet while waiting for food at the restaurant, or what ever misc. sugar laced deliciousness I eat in my sleep I just can't let go. I can't say that I've never tried to stop, to break the connection that we have. It was a terrible experience, that left people wondering if I was really a coke addict (not the beverage). So our relationship will be life long, its either all or none of us, we'll go down together. Here's to you sugar, and your secret powers to brighten every day.

Summer Project #1 - The Hydrant Sprinkler

So, I recently took after my sisters and made a lengthy list. Mine is of house projects I would like to do, or save up for (is more realistic). My first project was to move my birthday present from Jeremy, a Pacific State fire hydrant, from my patio so we wouldn't be the junk yard neighbors. Birthday Present 2010 Pre Make Over Although it was a good looking hydrant before I started working on it, our patio is only 10' and it was a little out of place, and in the way. A little TLC is understatement. I took the entire hydrant apart (hydrant anatomy lesson post forthcoming), drilled new holes in different pieces, greased it up, repainted it, designed and implemented a new plumbing system and........ VOILA!!! I had a brand new sprinkler for our flower bed/veggie garden. Note: there are three sprinklers built into the hydrant, which I might have connected to our landscape sprinkler system without permission from the HOA. Also note: the sprinkler o

I Hate Disneyland

It's true. Although this, my third time, was much more successful than preceding visits. Honestly, the first day was almost a success until I was tricked into riding the elevator to hell. Straight to hell. I know that you can't wait to read how I really feel about it. Here are my thoughts on the "Magical Kingdom". A. Its full of people, thousands and thousands of people. Let's face it I can't even go to Target on a Saturday without getting a little angry. 2. Germs. You can't have thousands of people without billions of germs crawling on things from unwashed hands, sneezing, coughing, throwing up, etc. III. Walking. I appreciate a nice brisk walk now and then, but 20 miles later the appreciation start to wane, just slightly. Q. Strollers. I hate strollers, it makes me shiver just to think about it. Although, I might change my opinion on strollers if next time someone pushes me in one. In conclusion, I love Space Mountain, I want to ride it every day 15 ti
