Hump Day LOVE

In recognition of hump day:

{THINGS I LOVE/HATE} mostly things i love




I LOVE papa john's pizza.
I never ate/liked papa john's pizza before i was married. But, Devin has seriously got me hooked on it. Hungry Howie's is pretty good though, too. I just recently tried their pizza.



I LOVE/HATE Costco.
I love all the samples you get to try out, and the cute old people that give you the samples. But I just can't resist buying stuff from really cute old people, so i end up spending WAY too much each time. But somehow, i still keep going back.

I LOVE my new glasses.
My old glasses were thick brown frames, and i didnt like them anymore. I really like this new pair. It looks more like im not wearing glasses.

I HATE that my dog chewed up my rug.
He's started chewing everything in sight lately. Arent dogs supposed to chew up everything when their puppies? Well I didnt have that problem when he was a puppy, but now that he's almost a year old, he decided to start chewing up everything.

I LOVE the boardgame "LIFE"
I had tons of fun playing the game as a kid, and I recently bought it and played it again. I forgot how much I love playing it. Im still a kid at heart, and LOVE playing board games.

I LOVE devin's sweet handlebar mustache
How many people could pull off a sweet mustache like that? Not many.

I HATE my new neighbors.
We've been lucky enough to have pretty decent neighbors for a whole year. Half the time, the apartment next us, and across from us was empty, so we got 2 parking spaces for awhile. Now we have REALLY creepy guy neighbors next to us and across from us. I can handle them upstairs, but NOT right next door!! It makes me NEVER want to leave me house so i dont have to even look at them.

I LOVE/HATE my new dodge avenger
I LOVE driving a car with a window that rolls down, and with a/c, and a little beep noise that makes devin wear his seatbelt, and i love looking cool. I don't love the new car payments though. It WILL help our credit though for when we buy a new house.

I LOVE my puppy max
I love taking pictures of my cute dog, and posting them on blogger. He's not as cute as he was when he was a puppy, but he's still pretty dang cute.

How addicted to blogging are you?

I thought i was pretty addicted. I guess there are actually other people out there more addicted than me.

WELKER WISDOME

Another inspirational quote to start the week off right.....

"Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness."
-James Thurber

(p.s. i totally misspelled the word wisdom on accident on my post title, but i think i like it spelled like that....)

LOOKING BACK

YOU'VE BEEN TAGGED!!!!

I decided to start my own tag chain, instead of being the tagee for once.

-list 5 things of significance/ milestones/ great memories from the past year.

5 MEMORIES FROM THIS PAST YEAR
(warning: TONS of pictures to follow, that will probably waste lots of time. Continue at your own risk.)

{1. our first year of marriage }

THE WEDDING

THE APARTMENT

FUN DATES

{2. fun on christmas with family in town}

{3. our REALLY fun trip to the tucson zoo}

{4. getting our brand new puppy (he used to be SOOOOO small)}

{5. our AWESOME trip to st. george, utah and las vegas }

{For our first year anniversary, we took a trip to st. george to visit devin's family.

i got to finally catch up on some sleep. Then we went to las vegas for some gambling and hookers. jk.

we went to the comedy club at the RIVIERA, and saw CIRQUE DU SOLEI'S "KA"(sp.?).

It was dang HOT but we managed to stay out of the sun as much as possible, and still have lots of fun!

P.S. I've never been so scared of heights before as I was when i went to the top of the stratosphere.

Its a good thing i closed my eyes during the ride, otherwise I would probably dead right now, cause i would have died from a heart attack.}

So, I was watching the results show last night, and two seconds before they announced the girl that was gonna get kicked off, my tv lost connection. And it didnt come back on for like 5 minutes. See, Im in a downstairs apartment, and I use an antenna for my tv. It usually works really well, and i dont have any problems. But if my neighbor big bertha upstairs decides to start walking around, my tv loses connection. It ALWAYS seems to happen on the most important parts of the shows im watching. USUALLY i can fix it really quick and I dont miss TOO much. But NOOOOOO. Last night it DIDNT COME BACK ON!!!! It was really sad. I finally found out who was kicked off, but it was sooooo dissapointing to watch the whole show and wait and wait and wait for the results, FOR NOTHING!!

MY FAVORITE SHOW

I used to have a bunch of shows I had to follow up on, like PRISON BREAK, HEROES, and THE AMAZING RACE, but lately my favorite show is SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE. I’m glad a bunch of other people share my love for this show. It really is an AWESOME show. I’m going to be SOOOOO sad when it’s over.I hope SABRA wins. At least there's gonna be a new season of America's Next Top Model soon for me to watch. YAY!! Devin will just LOVE when that happens. I thought that since I don’t have Cable T.V., I wouldn’t have a problem watching t.v. all the time. NOPE. I still do.

I still haven’t posted pics. of my trip, cause I’m lazy. I will soon.

One of my FAVORITE SONGS

After I FINALLY drag myself out of bed every morning, to get ready for work, I find myself singing the toys "r" us song in the shower.

Especially on monday mornings. I hate monday mornings. They make me want to be a KID again.
Especially since i just had another birthday and I'm 23 now and feel old, it makes me sing that song more and MORE.
ESPECIALLY after getting back from a nice vacation that was very much needed, and not quite long enough....and having to go back to work. :(
