A Great Find

I have found a great book! I'm pretty sure (since I found it in the childrens section of the book store) that it might be directed towards people that are a little younger than I, but it was too much fun to refuse so I bought it anyway. It's a journal and the name of the journal is "Wreck This Journal" by Keri Smith.

These are her words:

I have only just begun but so far I am having loads of fun. Basically each page has some sort of instruction on it, such as:

Rub Here With Dirt

or

Collect Fruit Stickers Here (stickers you find on bought fruit)

or

Ask A Friend To Do Something Destructive To This Page. Don't Look.

or

Glue In A Photo Of Yourself That You Dislike. Deface.

one of my favorites is

Tongue Painting 1. eat some colorful candy. 2. lick this page

I had some of the people I work with help me with the fingerprint page...

I think I'm really going to enjoy this book!!

Yeah, We Did That

Ogden, Utah

Brandon, Michelle and Jodi hanging out and waiting for it all to begin

Before we could jump we had to sign our lives away...

Time to suit Up!

Here is the plane

And the ride to approximately 13,000 feet

And this is Jodi jumping out of the plane at about 13,000 feet

Some Things To Avoid Doing On The 13th

(If your superstitious that is, which I am by the way)

• walk under a ladder


• let a black cat cross your path


• jump out of an airplane


• step on a crack


• break a mirror


• play in traffic


• open an umbrella indoors


• spill salt without immediately throwing some over your left shoulder

Those are all that I can think of off the top of my head. The point is: Its the 13th and while it isn't FRIDAY the 13th one should probably be careful just the same.

On another note, I'M GOING SKYDIVING TODAY AT 6:00 PM

whoo-hoo!!

I want to go fishing too...

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments. EVERYBODY PLAY! I want to see what memories are out there!

Tough Question

Someone once asked a question that, to me, was impossible to answer. I'm not sure how it came up, and if you think about it logically it doesn't really work out but they asked this:

"If you were only allowed to listen to one artist or group for the rest of your life, who would it be?"

My first answer was "no" as in no way could I limit myself to just one. There is just too much good music out there! I had to think long and hard about this and ask a couple questions of my own before I could even attempt to give a real answer. Such as:

"If I pick an artist, does that include him/her AND the bands that he/she has been in?"
We decided...Yes

"Do I just get to listen to the music they have put out to date, or do I get to listen to new things they may put out too?"
We decided...Any and all music they have out or may put out would be allowed

So I thought, and thought some more and I was able to narrow it down. For me, I think it would either be Tom Petty, or Bob Dylan. I LOVE both of these artists.

Tom Petty has a few different styles of music, some are more upbeat while others are slow and soulful. He also has a ton of songs that seem to have been written to portray how I think and what I feel. Besides that he has a couple of different groups that he has been a part of, The Heartbreakers, Mud Crutch, The Travelling Wilburys.

Bob Dylan, well, he's just a genius. An amazing musician. An even more amazing songwriter. He has also done a lot of music with a lot of different people, too many to list.

The problem that I found with either of these choices, was that I love these artists so much that I would HATE to get tired of listening to them. If I was only allowed to listen to one artist, I'm afraid that is what would happen. A simple case of too much of a good thing.

So, I'm wondering if anyone knows who they would choose? I never made my decision. One artist for the rest of your life is... I don't even know how to explain it... a hard decision to say the least.

Identify Yourself Please

I was going through and reading some random blogs (I know, get a life right?!) and there was one that had a post slightly similar to this and I wanted to do it too (that's right, I read random blogs, AND apparently I copy-cat them too) So, if you're reading my blog, will you pretty please leave a comment and tell me who you are. I'm just a little curious and plus its SO fun to get comments. If you don't know how, just click on the 'comment' line and type away! Thanks!!

Happy Independence Day

"When an American says that he loves his country, he means not only that he loves the New England hills, the prairies glistening in the sun, the wide and rising plains, the great mountains, and the sea. He means that he loves an inner air, an inner light in which freedom lives and in which a man can draw the breath of self-respect." - Adlai Stevenson
