Funny Stuff

I got an email at work today that was pretty dang hilarous!! I thought I would share some of it here!! HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!

-Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.

-Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you're going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the direction from which you came, you have to first do something like check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you're crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk.

-Is it just me, or are 80% of the people in the "people you may know" feature on Facebook people that I do know, but deliberately choose not to be friends with?

-Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it wouldn't work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically fix the problem. Every kid in America did that, but how did we all know how to fix the problem? There was no internet or message boards or FAQ's. We just figured it out. Today's kids are soft.

-How the heck are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

-I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.

-Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what the crap was going on when I first saw it.

-The only time I look forward to a red light is when I’m trying to finish a text.

- Lol has gone from meaning, "laugh out loud" to "I have nothing else to say".

- Answering the same letter three times or more in a row on a Scantron test is absolutely petrifying.

- How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear what they said?

- I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers!

- Every time I have to spell a word over the phone using 'as in' examples, I will undoubtedly draw a blank and sound like a complete idiot. Today I had to spell my boss's last name to an attorney and said "Yes that's G as in...(10 second lapse)..ummm...Goonies"

- While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively swerved to avoid it...thanks Mario Kart.

- MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

-If Carmen San Diego and Waldo ever got together, their offspring would probably just be completely invisible.

-Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I'm from, this shouldn't be a problem....

-Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don't want to have to restart my collection.

-There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far

-I hate being the one with the remote in a room full of people watching TV. There's so much pressure. 'I love this show, but will they judge me if I keep it on? I bet everyone is wishing we weren't watching this. It's only a matter of time before they all get up and leave the room. Will we still be friends after this?'

-I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it's on shuffle, then I like about one in every fifteen songs

-My 4-year old son asked me in the car the other day "Dad what would happen if you ran over a ninja?" How the heck do I respond to that?

-The other night I ordered takeout, and when I looked in the bag, saw they had included four sets of plastic silverware. In other words, someone at the restaurant packed my order, took a second to think about it, and then estimated that there must be at least four people eating to require such a large amount of food. Too bad I was eating by myself. There's nothing like being made to feel like a fat looser before dinner.

Hope these made you smile at least once!! I was pretty much rolling on the floor by the end!!

Opinions Needed!!

Tomorrow I have a hair appointment to get rid of my sad orange hair!! But if you know me well, you know that making decision on my own is my LEAST favorite thing to do!! I cant decide exactly what I want so your opinion would be GREATLY appreciated!


First, and most important is COLOR!! I don't want anything that is red and/or orange in any way (not that is doesn't look amazing on other people).
My hair is dark brown, but I want to add some highlights or lowlights... something that will make it look less flat! I cant decide if I should go with a lighter shade of brown, a cinnamon color or carmel color. What do you think??


Lighter?? Darker?? Chunky?? Thin??? AHHHHHH!! Too many options!! What should I do??

And second is my bangs. I hate the way my bangs are now.... they are more like a super short layer than bangs. So which of these should I go with??


Side swept?? Or full bangs?? Again, AHHHHHH!!! Which do I choose?!?!

Please, please, please be honest!! Even if you thing all of them would look lame on me!! I'm open to other ideas too...... as long as they are not red or orange... or purple.... I don't think my work would let me in the doors!! I really need help deciding!! THANKS!!!! :0)

Door Dingers Will Be Punished

Jeez it took me a long time to get around to this post!! There were some pictures I needed that were on my dad's computer and I have just been to lazy to take the time to get them off!!
I remember I used to be SO scared of driving! I was baffled about how you were supposed to keep the car going to the speed. It was also really really hard to keep the car in the same line while looking over my shoulder to change lanes. And driving on the freeway..... FORGET IT!!
But I finally go the hang of it and passed my driving test the fist time around!!

I always used to joke that I got my first car from the tooth fairy because my parents bought it not to long after I got my wisdom teeth out!! It was a good old Ford Taurus. (I look ABSOLUTELY horrible in this picture... so PLEASE just look at the car)
Man I had some interesting times in that car. The first time I ever ran out of gas was in the car with my best friend Lacey. I was so mortified at the time, but now looking back it was pretty dang funny!! I did a 360 on the freeway on ramp in the car and I broke down in that stupid car more times than any one person should have too!!
I also remember many HOT summer days, coming home from Utah county with my awesome friend Amanda, and the darn car would start to overheat so I would have to turn the heater on. Yeah.... 100 degree temperates+Heater on high=One dang long drive!! THANKS for sticking it out with me Amanda!!! :0)
That car also had stupid trunk problems!! When it would get to hot, the trunk would just pop open by itself. I got to be a pro at stopping really fast and slamming it shut while driving!! One day, after a LONG day of work at Discover Card, I went outside and of course the trunk was open. I tried FOREVER to get it shut with NO luck!! I finally slammed it so hard that the top of the taillight broke.

After the Taurus I moved onto a Pontiac. Her name was Bonnie the Bonneville! I was NOT happy about driving it as first, it was a boat compared to the Taurus!! But the air conditioner worked, it didn't over heat and the interior wasn't maroon! I got in my first accident in that car, and my tail light bit the dust again!


I also got in my second accident in the car. Solidifying my terror of driving in the snow!! That car also broke down on me. I guess I shouldn't complain, because it only happened twice. Where as with the Taurus and I cant even remember the exact number of times!! The first time I was in Salt Lake and the battery died. So I hung out on the side of 7th East until my dad could get there. The second time was on my birthday and I was trying to get up to the U on my first day of school. Yeah, not so fun!!

And now that I am FINALLY done with school (I swear the graduation post is coming soon) and I am working full time, I FINALLY have a new car!!!


I LOVE it!! I bought it on June 28th from Riverton Hyundai!! It is a 2009 Hyundai (the Y is NOT silent according to my Korean speaking brother) Elantra. It has air conditioning and cup holders, two things I had been missing for a very long time!!!



It's a lot of fun!! And it's still kind of weird that it is mine!! I don't know how I'm going to feel about it on August 6th when I make my first payment though!! Haha!! Just kidding!! There is no way I could not love my pretty silver car!!

So this next picture is VERY random, but it has to do with my car..... well, with the windshield anyway!! I went through the car wash last night and the place i went too had yellow, blue and pink soap. After is gets sprayed on it sits for there for a minute and this is the result:

Crazy huh!!! I took lots of pictures of it while I was sitting there!! It's the little things that entertain me!! :0)
