Ok, stealing from Kara

Ok, so this was on Kara's blog, i wasnt tagged but i looked at the pic it would be and figured why not. So the rules are go to your pictures and take the 4th pic from the 4th folder and explain what is going on in the pic.

I was very happy that the gas prices had gone down. I was so surprised to see it under $2 again that i had to take a pic. I dont think the sign is doing much...



Now its ur turn. :P have fun

Quick, before i fall asleep!

Ok, just a quick note to outline this coming weekend so i dont forget to say at least something about it.
Kirstyn is coming down tonight at some point and is staying the weekend, although i have a feeling that i wont be seeing much of her since she is actually coming down to see a certain guy who she may happen to have feelings for :P not a big deal to me either way, if she wants to spend time with me im up for it, other wise im gonna sleep! (sleep mainly cause if i dont i end up spending $$ that i really shouldn't)
Sunday a new chapter of my life is going to start. Lauren is officially going to be here around noon thirty. Shes probably going to end up staying with the Jacobsons (they live on the Manhattan conv grounds) for the first couple weeks cause rick aint gonna be gone yet. She gets to embark on the wonderfulness that is job hunting. I dont miss those days at all.
Thats the weekend in advance for all ya'll that read this.

Copycat

I am going to be a copy cat and post the 25 things about me like everyone else has been lately.

1. My room is rarely ever clean for more than the time it takes to do laundry. (i dont have enough dresser space so it goes on the floor)
2. I am practicing to be able to sleep around the clock, so far I can sleep about 14 hours easily and 18 if I really try
3. I like boots
4. I used to get on my horse and read a book til I fell asleep as she walked around
5. I sleep with 6 blankets on my bed and the thermostat turned all the way down
6. I own far more white clothes than should be legal
7. I have never yet finished a crocheting project that I have started other than a pot holder
8. You are never to old to watch Tom and Jerry, Wil E. Coyote, or Slyvester and Tweety
9. The only bone I have ever broken is my tail bone
10. Swing dancing is the one dance that I really want to learn
11. Not much is better than curling up with a dog that loves you more than anything and a goood book. unless its that with hot cocoa
12. I seem to collect shoes and jean skirts, I rarely wear more than a couple of them ever but i cant seem to get rid of them cause I might wear them sometime
13. I own a genuine piggy bank
14. Purple and 42 are the answer to everything
15. The only class I ever flunked was French in HS
16. We raised some pigs when I was younger and I got to ride one while we were trying to give it some medicine
17. 2 of the pigs names were Bacon Butt, and Shrimpy Shrut
18. I raised an awesome Guide Dog for the Blind my senior year in highschool
19. I currently have the awesomest boyfriend ever
20. You can never have to many stuffed animals
21. Or blankets
22. I have never mastered a single instrument even though i "played" the Violen, Viola, Clarinet, and Piano
23. I have never been out of the US, and that means not to Canada or Mexico either
24. I want to learn to drive a semi
25. I love random quotes and use them whenever possible

There, and now that i have wasted another 15 minutes, i think im actually going to go clean my room like i started out to do before my computer called my name

At what tempurature does shampoo freeze?

Im pretty sure that if you leave shampoo in your car over night when its -14 outside the end result is frozen shampoo even after it sits in a warm car for 4 hours it is still chunky and doesnt like to come out of the bottle until held under a hot stream of water in the shower for about 5 minutes.

I was really enjoying the "warm" weather. Warm is relative of course but we had about a full week of 20-30 degree weather. and now i am back to FREEZING weather. i mean seriously i went outside and it was -16 and i think part of my fingers are still attached to my car door handle. remind me to start my car like 30 minutes before i try to go ANYWHERE cause its not bad enough that its really cold outside but if the inside of your car is colder... i think you get the point.

We all went up to the farm again this weekend. We had 13 extra people in mtg on sunday. I went up friday morning after work. Trevor and I went to the Frontier in Dunkirk (little resturant that doesnt look like a resturant much less one that serves steak and seafood) it was pretty much amazing prime rib. Saturday the guys went out huntin coyotes and rabbits (woo hoo) the girls stayed where it was warm, namely not outside. Went to the g-parents for some singing and cookie making or sleeping in Ambers case :) Saturday night we went back to Roy and Kaylee's and played a long loud game of SPOONS. and then grilled John the Huderite about life at the colony. It was rather fascinating to learn from someone with first hand experience in everything. Sunday was mtg and everyone left for their respective places. that is all

Well...

It has been 18 days (is that a fortnight?) since I last posted. Not a whole lot has really been going on in my little piece of the world. Except of course, Trevor coming down not just this weekend, but last weekend as well. He totally spoils me rotten and im really lovin it :) I can give you all the details on both weekends if desired but i really dont feel like typing that much stuff so i shall just keep it to yesterday (and by yesterday i mean my version of yesterday which is everyone elses saturday) ok so basically the place i work- Wheat Montana- was rather slow in getting the hall booked for our company x-mas party and as a result, the party was held in the middle of january instead of december like most normal ones are. I managed to convince Trevor that he should go with me so he came down for the weekend. It started out rather slow but ive never been to a x-mas party b4 so i wasnt to concerned. They had hired a magician that was really quite amazing with his rope tricks and metal rings. Trevor asked me if i saw anyone i recgonized and i had to say "well, not really. No one is wearing whites or hair nets. They all look normal and i dont recgonize any of them" After dinner was served (pork, spuds, beans, bread, salad) they started having a raffle for lots of different things. every employee that was there was entered and wonder of wonders, I Shawna VanDermyden actually won something. it was a $75 gift card to the store of my choice. how totally awesome is that? now i can spend some totally guilt free money :D that really was the highlight of the party so im gonna go to sleep now.

Ok fine

Ok fine, so i guess i missed one of my regular blogs. Lauren has the honor of the blogs i read to be the first to post in the new year. Congrats my friend :D

2009

Ha, I am the first one of all the blogs I read (with the possible exception of Auntie Gwens's) to post in the new year. Ring the drums and pound the whistles. This first blog of the year shall have my new years resolutions upon it. Next year i can look back and actually have documented evidence that i was indeed silly enough to make them... and i will see if i was able to accomplish them for longer than the week that i think is my current record.

1. Stay in one state for the ENTIRE year. (I am allowed to move with in the state just not out of Montana)
2. Save enough money that I will be able to go to Ireland in 2010
3. Go to Disneyland with Chantal just for the fun of it :)
4. Attempt to be better at keeping my room clean (wish me loads of luck, im gonna need it for this one.)

I now expect to be able to go to other blogs within a couple days and see lists of more resolutions.

P.S. (Wish me all the luck you can spare from your own resolutions and I promise I will do the same for you... Deal?)
