Day 30 -

A photograph of yourself today + three good things that have happened in the past 30 days.

3.  My brother got married.  (After dating her for about 20 years it was the obvious next step and we're all very happy.)

2.  I found some really cute shoes online for $12 including shipping!  Then I didn't like them but because they were closeout I couldn't return them.  No problem, I sold them on ebay for $30! (Cuz I'm awesome!)

1.  After living in my house for 5 months....I finally unpacked!
(just don't look in the spare room)

Day 29 - Something you could never get tired of doing.

Can never get enough of chocolate YUM!

and if you haven't seen 'Grown Ups', really?  I mean really?  What are you waiting for?

Day 28 - Your favorite movie.

How do you pick one all time favorite movie?  It's impossible!  There are so many classics, but this one is quotable from beginning to end and so hilarious so I picked it.

 Is it okay if I just spray a little pam down there before the baby comes out?

You have to admit it's a valid suggestion.

 I'm sorry I farted into your purse.

 I'm sorry I broke one of your rules!

YOU PEED IN THE SINK! Isn't that against everyone's rules?

 

Yes.  I'm expecting again.

Expecting what?  A Social Security check?

And my all time favorite. . . .

Did you just stick your gum under my coffee table?
I don't know.
What do you mean, you don't know? You think you're at an Arby's right now?
You know what? I wish I was at an Arby's 'cause there's better food and cooler people there!
Did you stick *all* this gum under here?
I don't know! Maybe you stuck some of it under there.
Yeah, actually, you might be right. 'Cause sometimes, when I work a really long day, I like to come home and chew a huge wad of Bubblicious gum and stick it under my reclaimed barnwood coffee table!

Day 27 - A picture of you last year and now and how you changed since then?

1 year ago. . . .

and now. . . .

My hair is a little lighter but nothing else has changed.  That's a little sad.

Day 26 - A photo of somewhere you've been to.

A few years ago I went to Alaska with my brother and some of his friends.  It was awesome!  I hope to go back again someday. 

Day 25 - What's in your purse?

Besides the usual driver's license and debit card. . . .

Day 24 - A photo of something that means a lot to you.

 

Lacie

Day 23 - 15 facts about you.

15 ~ I know I have mentioned this on here before but I am the youngest of 6 kids and my mom still refers to my as her 'baby'.  Not cool mom, not cool.

14 ~ I am a music nut.  Not like in the cool indie stuff no one has ever heard of.  I like the really popular songs that no one likes to admit to but somehow they sell millions and millions of records.  Katy P, B. Spears, and T-swizzle.  Yep all the good stuff.

13 ~ I love vintage cowboy boots. 

12 ~ I have a very loud laugh that is only tolerable if you love me....a lot!

11 ~ I have a problem with procrastination. Well I don't necessarily have a problem with it but everyone around me has a problem with my procrastination.

10 ~ I've always wanted to know how to pole dance.  Settle.  Down.  Nobody's dancin for the groceries or anything I just think it would be fun to be like "yes I'm mormon, I don't drink, I don't sleep around, but I can do THIS" and then like flip upside down on a pole or something really, really crazy!

9 ~ My favorite number is 56.

8 ~ I miss wearing tank tops.

7 ~ I want to meet someone special I really do.  But, when someone smiles at me I don't usually think "oh nice! Potential suitor" even if he's really cute, I'm usually thinking "what the hell is he lookin at??"

6 ~ I'm a pretty phenomenal dancer in the club.  On a scale of 1-10 I'm easily a 9.

5 ~ I have this thing for super tall guys who are teddy bearish and huggable. Example: Marshall (Jason Segel) from How I Met Your Mother. I don’t really fancy the thin guys.

4 ~ I love kids!  I really love talking and spending time with kids. They never fail to make me feel happy.

3 ~ I love ketchup, like love, love it.

2 ~ I often spread myself too thin, which causes a lot of stress.

1 ~ I. Am. Funny.  I'm not kidding.  People love me. 

Day 22 - A letter to someone who has hurt you recently.

Dear Bathroom Scale,

It's not me, it's you.

I invited you into my loving home and this is the thanks I get.  Oh yes we've had good times like when I had the flu and lost 15 pounds in less than a month or when I joined the gym and lost another 10 (remember that time Tayson peed on you....priceless).  But lately all we share are tears.

I don't know about you but I can't live like this any longer!  I've held on for so long because it's just so hard to find good help these days.  No more.  You are useless and lazy.  I work hard all day while you just lay around on the floor.  The only thing I've ever asked of you is to lie to me.  But NOoooooo!  I guess that was asking too much wasn't it?

Well have fun at the landfill traitor!

Love,
E

Day 21 - A photo of something that makes you happy.

Day 20 - The meaning behind your blog name.

When I set my blog up I was blaring music from my ipod which is pretty normal at my house.  While trying to think of a name my mind was kind of wandering in the direction of "life's journey" and then a Chris Ledoux song came on:

Sit tall in the saddle, hold your head up high
keep your eyes fixed where the trail meets the sky
and live like you ain't afraid to die
and don't be scared, just enjoy the ride

Of course because I had the perfect name the URL was taken so I just used my name.  About a year ago I decided I wanted to change it and so pondering at my laptop once again with the music on George Strait was singing these words:

Find a truck and fire it up
lean on the gas and off the clutch
leave Dallas in the dust
so baby run

I just kept coming back to "lean on the gas and off the clutch".
So it probably makes sense to no one but me but that's ok because I am the sheriff, judge, and executioner around here.

Day 19 - Another picture of yourself.

Day 18 - Something you crave a lot.

I'm sorry Beth....Look away!

Day 17 - A photo of you and your family.

Day 16 - Your celebrity crush.

Well besides the obvious ones

I have a recent crush.  I always thought he was hott but then I saw this

and I fell deeply in lust.  Because who doesn't want to be serenaded?

Day 15 - Something you don't leave the house without.

OMG I die!  I die!  I have forgotten this little nugget on occasion and it is not pretty.  It is my life line to the outside world. 

Not to mention my outlet from work.  I would have no way to get all my complaints to Ryanne all day....sad!

Day 14 - A TV show you're currently addicted to.

Have you met Barney. . . .

Day 13 - Your favorite musician and why?

Sorry, can't do it.  I can't pick just one.  I can't even pick a favorite song.  It's impossible for someone such as myself who loves music to pick just one.  All the kids always want to ride with me because they know I will be blaring music....and because I'm so cool and all that other stuff.  So, this is what I propose.  I'm going to hit shuffle on my ipod and give you the first 10 artists and then check them out and tell me which one you like best.

1. Nickelback
2. Kenny Chesney
3. OneRepublic
4. Waylon Jennings
5. Rihanna
6. SHeDAISY
7. Nelly
8. John Michael Montgomery
9. Lorrie Morgan
10. Bone Thugs-N-Harmony

You see!  I can't pick one I'm too diverse when it comes to music.

Day 12 - A photograph of the town you live in. . . .

Utah's Dixie. . . .

Day 11 - What's in your makeup bag.

Bare Minerals foundation, Revlon black eyeliner, Almay smoky intense eyeshadow, and Covergirl mascara.
