West Nile Virus

You may be wondering what that deuce this picture is of...that would be the back of my leg/ankle (don't mind the bruised part, that's not what I'm talking about right now). I was attacked by mosquitos over a week ago and the effects are now getting worse! They are getting more and more red and swollen, more itchy (which is the worst part), and kind of achy. They are acting as if they are almost infected or something. Lousy mosquitos. So if I happen to get admitted into the hospital, you know who the culprits are!

GINORMOUS MALLOW!

I'm not sure how many of you have seen these new "camping marshmallows" but they are huge! It makes the mallows that we used to consider large look like a mini mallow. The pink one is the typical large mallow, then to the left of it is the new Giant Roasters. I am in love! You can get like 4 layers out of them, it's the gift that keeps on giving. If you haven't tried them you should find them in the stores and test them out for yourself- I'll never go back! :)

PET PEEVES

So I haven't been blogging lately because I've been a little busy with other things in my life. Seeing how I'm not in the best of moods right now I thought it would be the right time to answer one of my "journaling questions" about my "Pet Peeves," so here is a list of some of them (I'm sure I'm forgetting a few):

- The kind of carpet that when you vacuum it you can see every vacuum mark, and then after you freshly vacuum the carpet, you can see the foot prints afterwards! (no, I'm not OCD...Perfectionist? Maybe in some cases like this:) )

- Gum smackers

- When you go to the bathroom to find out someone didn't refill the toilet paper after using the last bit.

- Not being able to fall asleep when you are in bed completely ready for a good sleep. Then having to push snooze at least 5 times, struggling to get up the next morning.

- Cars that drive in the emergency lane when traffic is stopped, then expect to let them in when that lane becomes backed up...are they glad they just moved up 5 cars? Wow, saved you A LOT of time!

- Drivers who leave their blinker on

- When people use the word "Literally" way too much (and most of the time not even using it correctly). This isn't so much a pet peeve. I just think it is crazy how many people misuse the word. If you don't believe me, start listening for it!

- When I finally find a product I like, whether it be makeup, hair products, etc. then they discontinue the product when I go to restock. It happens more than you think!

- The grocery carts that has a bad wheel, so the cart ends up going wherever it wants to go (usually opposite of where you want it to)

- When you get all nice and comfortable and warm in bed, then realize you forgot to do something and have to get out to do it.

- Drivers on Main Street that go 5 mph or more under the speed limit. 40 mph is NOT that fast old folks

- Bikers who think they are cars

- People who can't find anything positive in anything (me listing pet peeves doesn't count, this is different...)

- When you save something for years, then finally decide to throw it away. Then miraculously the next week something comes up that the exact item you threw away could have come in handy.

- People who make fun of someone who has no control over the disability they are making fun of

- When you have a hangnail so thick and deep even the fingernail clippers can't get it all.

- Pouring a bowl of cereal, then finding that there is not even a swallow left of milk in the carton

- People who judge others without making the effort of getting to know them first

- Hypocrites (self-explanatory)

- Patients who still treat me like garbage after I've bent over backwards for them

- When you are right by the telephone or up and about forever, and once you decide to sit down or take a nap, that's when the phone rings for you

Well that list should suffice for now (Now that I sound like a raging lunatic). Just give me some time to "count to 10" and my next post will be more positive :)

Movie Date with Kreest (aka Kristin)

A few weeks ago Kreest and I wanted to do something. It was a Friday night and we didn't have much plans but wanted to get out. We didn't feel like primping up for anyone and decided we both wanted to be a bit frumpy so we decided on going to a movie in a ghetto place in Ogden. I even busted out my gansta sweat pants (XL Size with side cargo pockets included!) The place we went to was only $3!!! You know what that means? Extra money left over for candy! If you don't know that I'm obsessed with candy, then we aren't that close of friends afterall! :) We saw "The Killers" and I LOVED it. We were both laughing through the whole thing. During a dating scene Kristin and I could relate. Not to mention Ashton Kutcher wasn't lookin too shabby, I didn't mind watching him for a couple of hours. Plus I think his personality is so fun, gotta love a good sense of humor! Anyway, I suggest that movie to anyone in the mood for simple entertainment. It looks like I need to go on more romantic dates with my sister, it was great! (Plus, no pressure- what more could you ask for? haha)
