I gotta got to bed soon, so I can hit the road tomorra morning at 4. So, here's a quick top 10 list in 10 minutes...

Top 10 Good Moments in My Life Right Now

10. I'm starting to develop the beginnings of a tan. Albeit, a farmer's tan, it is still a tan.

9. Fruit is in season...yeah!!!

8. Done with Girls Camp. Ready for re-taking my lost sleep.

7. Got a Costco membership 2 weeks ago as my birthday present to myself. Yeah, it's about time.

6. Driving up to Springerville via Clint's well...what a picturesque view.

5. Cherishing the few nights I can cuddle with the J-man in our only air conditioned room in the trailer...ummm guess which one???

4. Loving my graduation gift of Clinique Happy Heart perfume...and the original Happy from the Shannanigan.

3. Loving the fact that I am graduacated and I no longer need to study, write papers, or worry about my grammar...at least when I don't get paid for it.

2. Getting to see the incredible spiritual growth of the Young Women in our ward. This calling has made up for my need to have a little sister...because I have like 10 of them now!

1. Feeling excited, nervous, and hopeful we can and will buy a house before the end of the year.

"Hey James Brown, I feel GOOD!!!"

Change is a coming

I figured I needed to update my 2 month+ blog post.

So here's a few things a changing in my life right now....

1. Finished school TODAY, graduate TOMORROW

2. Start work in Springerville MONDAY...but only temporarily...more details to come when they are finalized

3. Looking for a house...yes, one where I have to pay the annual taxes

4. Feel the need to take care of myself AGAIN... i.e. eat some unprocessed food and take a walk every once in a while...my recent health regime has been PATHETIC...like eating carne asada burros, Wendy's $1 bugers, Sonic cheese poppers everyday pathetic

5. I wanna post more pics of J and I because like I love him and sometimes we look good in pictures and sometimes I need vain confirmation that I do not always look like a girl who wears old oversized t-shirts and sports tangled puffy hair

So regarding #5, here's a snapshot I LOVE of J and I at the church's Winter Ball this past February and I like totally love it because

a. we look happy (although I'm willing to bet J was authentically happy to be at a the dancing gala too)

b. my eyes are closed I am so happy to be at a dance!

c. we totally look retro...like circa 1962 or something

d. I absolutely, ABSOLUTELY love my Audrey Hepburn-esque dress Bucky found for me at the thrift store like 6 years ago for a $1 and then I altered it the day of the ball from a size 5 to like a size 10 so I could fit it and the color...oh, the color!





Yeah well. That's it for now. More to come as life gets less crazy. Oh, and see what a graduate degree in English will get 'ya? LOTS of run on sentences, random thoughts, and slightly off cliche phrases.

Yo dawg! Check it out...

At the prompting of my ever witty and extremely observant cousin, Lindsey, my next Celebrity Corner victim is none other than my ever faithful husband and best friend--the J man.


Be warned, however, that this post may not last forever in cyberspace. At some point in time, Justin will see my evil doings and I will have to pay. Yes, that's right. Domestic spectacles of entertainment usually do not bode well for marriages. So, enjoy it while you can, because I'm sure I will have to remove these silly musings in the VERY near future...

Okay, so celebrity look-a-like #1 comes from the observations of Lindsey herself:

CASEY JAMES
(a.k.a. Kara DiGuardi's Next American Idol)

Actually, I thought this guy looks a lot more like one of J's friend up in RV...Mark...which if he sees I wrote this, I'm sure I'm dead meat too!

And now here's the J-man with the biggest smile he'll sacrifice for the camera:

Look-a-like #2 comes from the observations of the Bucksta:

CLIVE OWEN

Look-a-like characteristics: Green eyes? CHECK. Dark hair? CHECK. Pink Tie? NOT CHECK.



Look-a-like #3 came from my mind because when I went looking for pictures of Clive Owen, I was reminded of another U.K. home-dawg:

GERARD BUTLER

Did you recognize the former Phantom of the Opera star? Yeah, me neither without the mask.

And last, but not least, here's the one Justin will NEVER forgive me for...but it's the one HE said people told him he looked like:

BILLY ZANE!

So, there you have it. Take your pick. Which one do you think is the best look-a-like match? ......Hurry, I think I hear J coming in the door!!!!!
