Happy Birthday Stacy

Ok, so apparently Sheri and I had the same idea, but she beat me to the punch. (She always does). But I am going to post anyway. I like my pictures of Hayden better. This is of course for my big sister Stacy's birthday. She happens to be the biggest Hayden Christensen fan EVER! Hey, we all have our secret crushes. She just happens to be really proud of hers, no matter who makes fun of her. And Sheri is right, she does take a lot of abuse for it. But since it is her birthday, lets not leave any mean comments about Hayden today. Let's just let her enjoy the pictures in peace. He may not be the greatest actor ever, but you can't deny he photographs well.

Happy Birthday Stacy. You are an awesome big sister. I have so many great memories of growing up with you. You are such a fun person. Here are a few memories I have of growing up with Stacy. They may not make any sense to any of you out there, but Stacy will remember.

* Pipsy the one-eyed bunny

* Vaselina and purple

* Tarzan boy - making the video

* Listening to "Desert Moon" by Dennis DeYoung almost every day

* "Mom come quick, there's a hot dog in the bedroom" (those words were uttered by Stacy, not me.)

* Being on pom together and watching you lose your pettycoat during our halftime dance at the biggest football game of the year, Chandler vs. Willis. You just kept on dancing.

* Going to lunch with you and Paul in high school. Leaning Tower had the best lunch deal around.
* Going to Pizza Hut after Chandler High School football games. Turning down "Coke" in the parking lot. You told the guy "No thanks, we just had some inside."

* Not being embarrased to hang out with your little sister (if you were, you never made me feel bad about it.)

* Beating you at hearts because you try to shoot the moon every time.

* Eating Breyers mint chip ice cream and being silly.

I hope you have a great day. You are awesome! Thanks for sharing your boys with me. I love them, and I love you. I love our long talks on the phone (when you are able to get a hold of me). You are always pushing me toward my dreams. You are a dreamer and I love that about you. Never let the dream die. Happy Birthday!

Random

Ok, so my friend Amy tagged me. She actually tagged me on January 18th and I am just getting around to responding. That is totally indicative (did I spell that right?) of my personality. I mean well, it just takes me a while to get things accomplished. This is similar to a tag I did previously. In that one I had to list 5 things people probably don't know about me. It is also similar to the one Sheri just did on her blog. In this one I have to list 7 random things. I seriously tried to be random and I quickly wrote down the first 7 things that popped into my mind. I didn't think about it or edit at all. Here goes:

1. I love milk. I hated it as a kid, so I don't know why I like it so much now, but I do.

2. I have super dry skin, but I hate lotion, so, oh well!

3. I wish I had strawberry blonde hair.

4. I ran a 5k at Disneyland and it was soooo fun. I want to do the 1/2 marathon this year.

5. Someday I want to run the San Diego Marathon. I know it's hard to believe, considering the shape I'm in, but someday... Anyone who wants to run with me is invited.

6. I love the movie "French Kiss". I could watch it over and over again.

7. I'm addicted to "The Amazing Race". It would be my dream to be on that show. My 2nd favorite team of TK and Rachel won this year. Woo hoo!

So that's it. Also, when I was on Amy's blog she had a fun feature that I wanted to share with you guys, so I took this right off of her blog. I hope that is ok. Here it is:

It’s the Random Album Cover Game! A great exercise in creativity.

This requires three random things. But wait, here’s what you’re supposed to do (I promise I didn’t cheat on mine):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random The first article on this page is your band name. (If it’s a real band or musician, you might want to cheat and hit refresh.)

http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3 Scroll down - the last four words of the last article are the title of your album.

http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/ Whatever the third picture is - that’s the album cover.

Now, put it all together in your favorite image editing program(s)… It’s fun!

I did it twice. Here is what I came up with. ( It would have been better if I could edit it and put the name of the band and album on the actual picture, but I am having trouble with my photo shop.) Which one do you like best?

Band Name: Bergelmir

Album title: They Chose Each Other

Album cover:

I thought it was interesting that this picture came up. Bergelmir is from Norse Mythology. He is a frost giant. I thought the picture was fitting.

Here was my second try:

Band name: State Route 55

Album title: Of It's Ugly Side

Album cover:

This is fun. Try it out and let me know what you come up with.

On a side note, I was finally released as cubmaster of cub scout pack 888! After three years, all I can say is woo hoo!

Have an awesome day!

Election Day

Just a reminder for all you bloggers out there that today is election day (in Arizona). Get out there and exercise your freedom to VOTE!

Ok, now that Season 4 is underway, I'm officially blown away at the complexity of the show. I use this post as a forum for all of you who have taste and are LOST fanatics. Please let me, and all other LOST fans, know your impressions of the Season Premiere. I loved it! It did not disappoint.
