Thirsty much?

I drink a LOT. I am drinking, mostly water, all day long. I know this about myself, and others who are around me a lot know this too, but for some reason it was magnified again over the past couple of days.

I had dinner with my brother and sister the other night and they both had maybe 2 drinks at the most 3. I, on the other hand, had FIVE. Yeah. F-I-V-E!!

The floor and back seat of my car is full of empty water bottles. One time I finally cleaned out the trunk and back seat of my car after probably 4-6 months and I had, no joke 15-20 water bottles.

I also drink about 2-3 liters of water at work every day. Beside the sometimes o.j. that I bring from home, or the sometimes soda (usually refilled once or twice) from lunch.

Then this morning...I realized, I was drinking three different things at once. See look...


(and whole wheat toast for breakfast). I was drinking some mango drink in the Dasani water bottle. I was drinking that on my way to work. I just opened a fresh bottle of Fiji water when I came into the office aaaand I made myself a cup of hot chocolate because it sounded yummy and would be soothing on my scratchy throat.

So as you can see. I drink plenty. :)

Say

John Mayer has a new song.

Say.

He wrote it for a movie called The Bucket List.

Here is a link to iTunes.

Here is a link to his website the whole song on there.

Always one in the bunch...

Here is what you don't usually see and I L-O-V-E this photo for that very reason...



Most of the time photographers don't either take this shot or let you see it. I think it's hilarious because if you have ever had your family picture taken or are the one taking the picture than you know that this happens. There is always at least one trouble maker when taking a big family photo.

A picture speaks a thousand words right? :)

*EDIT:I came back and made this picture bigger because I think it's too funny to have it be so small!*

Red Rock...

Go to my photography blog to see some more pictures I took at Red Rock.

Sandler's Thanksgiving Turkey Song

Well suddenly, next week is Thanksgiving! Ummmm...what!?!

I can't believe it! So in honor of the thankful holiday, here is a song we all know and love.

Enjoy.
Gobble Gobble Geee and a Gobble Gobble Gickle!!

The next LeBron? Whaaaat?

So as I was getting my elliptical on at the gym I was watching some ESPN and ESPN 2. And a lil' something on the Michael Jordan of volleyball, Karch Karai, I'm getting off subject, sorry...anyway...

All they kept talking about was OJ Mayo. He is a freshman guard for USC Trojans.

They compare some of his skill to the liking of LeBron James...and that he could very possibly follow his career path. Now I'm not going to get into it. I'm just letting you all be warned. Know the name....it's going to be come household.

Guilty Pleasure...

PROJECT RUNWAY

I love Project Runway. I hate to admit it....but still this show is my guilty pleasure. The new season starts Wednesday on Bravo. What is funny about this being a guilty pleasure for me is that I don't think any of my friends would have ever guessed that I really enjoy this show. I'm in no way super fashionable. I don't think I really have much of a personal style but for some odd reason, I just love this show.

I think it has to do with the fact that they create things and in such a short amount of time. I think that's what I love about it.

Aaaand I love Tim Gunn. I want him to be my friend. He just comes off so warm, friendly and kind. Even when he is trying to tell designers that their design sucks he is still so nice about it. And the best part they understand what he is saying without any of them wanting to run off crying. Well, and it goes without saying, he is a great dresser.


So now that I've admitted to one of my guilty pleasures...I'm okay with you all commenting and admitting to one of your own...and we can also talk Project Runway if you would like! :)

New Music...oohhh yeah!

So while being a busy lil' bee on the computer I discovered a band that I'm just lovin'! I've only heard four songs and I'm hooked. The CD is being downloaded per iTunes as we speak.

Just off Turner. (this link to band via iTunes.) And here is there website www.justoffturner.com

I believe, and this could be false, they are still not signed. Umm...WHAT! When you hear this you will wonder why! I've been DYING for some new music and I am now being fulfilled! I'm so excited for my ears!! They have been aching. Seriously aching! This is what I was lookin' for.

Please check them out. Join in on the awesomeness.

It will blow your "mind grapes" (name that quote)!!

8 Things...(and a lil' suttin' extra)

I normally don't fall prey to these, but okay, fine, I'll do it.

I need to tell about 8 things that most people don't know about me.
So here we go. In no particular order...

1.) I can draw cartoons. Don't get me in a restaurant that uses paper as their table clothe because I'll end up drawing cartoon faces all over it. That's usually the only time I bust out that talent.

2.) I'm a pack rat. I've gotten better over the years. But I have a hard time throwing things away. If you really know me then you know this, and have probably seen the damages! But I think that it will get better before it gets worse! hahaha. (I will mention though that other than my room, I'm an organized person. Strange, I know.)

3.) I collect children's books. I have dreams of writing and illustrating a children's book one day. I think the idea will just hit me on the side of the head out of the blue. But for the time being I "research" by purchasing children's books on occasion.

4.) I have little feeling (or no feeling sometimes) in my bottom lip and kinda my chin. I had jaw surgery my senior year of high school to correct a really horrible bite and got a little nerve damage. So if you see a piece of food lingering in that general area it probably means I don't know it's there, please mention it! HA! :)

5.) I watch movies over and over again. I love movies and there are some movies I watch constantly. It changes which ones. I go into different phases, but I can watch movies over and over and still laugh like it's the first time I've seen it. Ooooor be really annoying and recite all the lines during the movie (like Empire Records or Sandlot). Therefore consequently I movie or tv quote all the time.

6.) I almost always have to have some sort of noise in the background or I go stir crazy. Even if it's a washing machine going, but I can't have complete silence. My usual background noise is music or a movie, it really helps me concentrate on whatever it is I'm suppose to be focusing on. Weird. I know. Very rarely do I have complete silence.

7.) I really don't like talking on the phone. I know it doesn't seem true because I'm on the phone all the time, but really. I'm not a fan of talking on the phone. I'd much rather talk in person. I am easily distracted when I'm on the phone with someone and don't listen as well as I want to. But that's also because I feel like I should be multi-tasking while on the phone. But in person, I am more focused on the person I'm talking to.

8.) I'm having a hard time with this last one...but I finally thought of something. It's kinda gross. I'm a really horrible spitter. :) haha. I'm the worst. I can't spit to save my life! I get toothpaste everywhere! I rarely ever spit other than that. Spitting out my gum, if I dare try is usually quite an accomplishment for me if I make it into the trash can I'm standing over or out the window of my car. (this is so ridiculously sad as I type this) I pretty much try to spit in private as much as possible. Might I add that I'm not dying to be a good spitter. I think it's one of the few things that I am girlie about. And almost a little proud that I don't spit that well. hahaha.

So that's it. That's my eight things that most people don't know about me.

aaaand since I hate posts that are picture-less:


This little girl, Kaitlin, is now one year old as of Wednesday. Yep, Halloween! So Saturday the family is going up to UT for the birthday party!! :)
