Couldn't come up with a title.

For the first 6 months of our marriage Ryan and I played Backgammon all the time. We took it pretty seriously. We had a dry erase board hung up in our basement keeping track of the record. I felt like the Boston Celtics. Destined for Championship. At one point in time we (Ryan) decided we shouldn't play anymore. It was bad for our marriage. (He was tired of losing.)

When Ryan and I woke up this morning to head to the gym I asked him the same question I ask him every morning. "Wanna play racquetball for cardio today?" Every time the answer is the same. "No, I'm just gonna stick to my workout." In the beginning I would plead and tell him I'd take it easy on him since he would be a rookie. He would laugh and ignore me. We'd head to the treadmills, run together then separate for the remaining of the work out. Today when I asked him he said okay.

He kicked my trash all three games. At one point in time he warned me he wouldn't keep playing with me if I kept up my fits. There was no racquet throwing, just ball throwing, which is much more sportsmanlike. Like I really thought I had a chance of beating Ryan at racquetball. He could play one handed and still beat me.

At least I've got Backgammon.

Is $1.70 worth your eternal salvation?

I don't know why I let it bother me so much when I see people with water cups at restaurants and filling them up with pop. Is it any of my business that they don't mind teaching their children that it's okay to steal? No. Then, why do I stare so angrily at them as I wait my turn at the fountain for the Diet Coke while a family fills up 5 water cups with DC? I bet these are the same people who pass traffic in the shoulder because it's at a dead stop because of construction. Or the same people who make right hand turns from the center straight only lane because there are too many cars waiting patiently to turn from the proper lane and their time is much to valuable to wait for their turn (I'm pretty sure I'll get in a wreck one of these days because I have to deal with this EVERYDAY after work and I purposely make REALLY wide turns into the center lane to teach those buggers a lesson. Turning left from the center lane. Geez.) Or the same people who blog at work while they are getting paid to work. Oops.

At least I don't steal pop from Cafe Rio.

I wanna be like LS.

Yesterday my neglect became an emergency. At 10:30pm someone made an hour and a half drive to help me out, in a fun convertible Ford Mustang by the by. I know it put her out but she smiled and laughed the whole time. In fact, she made me feel like I was doing her a favor. LS, you are a true disciple of Christ and I love you.

Enter at your own risk.

Warning:this entry may contain some inappropiate material. Read the story if you think you can handle it. If not, scroll down to see the swimsuit I purchased today.
Ryan and I spend a lot of time on the boat. In fact we just had a great Monday, more details on that to come. Anyhoo, we spend A LOT of time on the boat. Last summer we were out with Ryan's little brother Chris and some of his buddies. We got a call from Eric and Kim (Ryan's older brother and his wife who rarely make appearances at the lake) that they were on their way up. We wanted them to have a good time so the boys dropped me and one of Chris' friends...his name is Levi and he'd been off his mission for about 6 months...off on shore so we could pump up the tube for the kiddies. We couldn't find the air compressor and were forced to use the hand pump. I hope you're following. As I was pumping, I glanced down at my swimsuit to notice I had a "wardrobe malfunction". I was so embarassed, I looked at Levi and he was over by the lake skipping rocks. I corrected the problem and kept pumping. Much more carefully now, but there was another malfunction, not nearly to the degree as the first, and Levi appeared out of thin air and said "One pops out as another one comes in." I looked at him, tears welling up in my eyes from embarassment, and realized he was talking about one boat pulling out of the lake as another one drops in. He wasn't even looking at me. I've always been embarassed of swimsuits, I know they show too much cleavage. Today I bought a new swimsuit and I hope I will no longer look obscene on the lake.

Things that make me happy.

I know this is a very generic entry, but it's better than nothing, right? Right?

1. Books on CD. My car doesn't have an antenna and I hate driving in silence.
2. My Honda. It hit 200,000 miles yesterday. Other than the fact that it has no a/c and violently shakes to the point I feel my nose hairs tickling between the speeds of 61-74 I absolutely love my car.
3. Having my sissie and mom in the same state as me.
4. The garbage fairy that takes the trash out. (I'm pretty sure the garbage fairy has the same appreciation for the laundry fairy.)
5. Being able to go to Primary on Sundays. Nothing against Sunday School or Relief Society I just love those darn kids.
6. My husband who happily hangs up and assembles all my crap from the crap stores (Tai Pan and Ikea) at 9:00 at night without complaining.
7. Fresh sheets. I love washing my sheets, I do it 2-3 times a week.
8. Diet Coke. Enough said.
9. Going to see a movie at the movie house. The previews are my favorite part.
10. Ice cream. I haven't had any for a long time, I even made some homemade strawberry recently and it was gone before I was in the mood, I really love ice cream. Maybe ma' hubby will take me to Nielsen's today.
11. Making a good meal. Please don't put ketchup on potatoes that I make, it's just offensive. Okay, you can put ketchup on your potatoes if that's your preference.
12. Living in Utah. I've lived on the beach in Huntington Beach, CA and I much prefer Utah. Maybe that's just because I live with the love of my life. I could live in Nowhere, USA and love it as long as it was with him.
13. Cell phones. I know we don't really NEED them, but they sure make things convenient. I wish my sister had one so I could find her whenever I want. I don't care if she doesn't want to be available 24/7.
14. Make up. When Ryan watches me apply it he says "You've covered your face to make it all one color and now you're putting something on your cheeks to add color. That's nonsense." Yes, it is nonsense. I love it.
15. Is anyone still reading this?
16. Singing along with Sinead O'Connor with ma' hubby in the kitchen.
17. Playing games. Card games, board games, just not video games. It's especially fun when I beat Ryan. We often make people uncomfortable when we play with them.
18. Watching Jack, Creed, and Stella do stuff. It doesn't matter what they're doing. I just love to watch them. George is fun too.
19. Reading the classifieds on KSL. The wedding dresses are my favorite.
20. Online shopping and filling my cart with hundreds of dollars of items then not buying anything.
