Better Late Than Never

Here are some pictures from my thanksgiving trip to St. George. I was PLANNING on taking TONS of cool pics this thanksgiving break, to post on here, but ended up only taking pics from our hike.

Pics from SYTYCD Concert

So....here are the pics i mentioned in the post below from the So You Think You Can Dance Concert. I was having trouble posting the html code.

FINALLY A REAL POST

Sorry for the sorta long hiatus. I didnt even realize how much I havent been posting, but then I looked at the date of my last posts. woops. This is what I've been up to, and some of my reasons for my blog hiatus: (Warning: this post is about 10 posts crammed into one, so its gonna be a long one)

WHAT IVE BEEN UP TO:

PLAZA RESEARCH

I participated in a focus group and was paid $100 for basically talking about my opinion for 2 hours. It was the easiest $100 I've ever made. This is the website I signed up at to participate in the focus group: www.plazaresearch.com

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE

I went to the shows tour a couple weeks ago, and it was AWESOME. We had really good seats, and were pretty much close enough to touch the dancers. My sister brought her camera, and here are some pictures from the show:

(waiting to get pictures from sis before i post them)

SOME OF THE MANY THINGS CONTRIBUTING TO MY LACK OF EXTRA TIME TO BLOG AWAY EVERY DAY....

NEW WEBSITE ADDICTION

I discovered a new website called ITSYOURTURN.COM to fulfill my game loving addiction. Its a really cool website where you can play a large assortment of games, and have a bunch of games going at the same time. You have a couple days to make each move of the game, so you can play when you have a couple spare minutes. Thats what its intended to be for at least. For me, I end up playing the games ALL DAY EVERYDAY. I'm trying to let go of that addiction, but its taking time.

BUSY AT WORK

For a while at work, I wasn't very busy, and had lots of extra time to blog every day, but lately I've had a lot of work to do consistently, and havent had as much extra time to blog away.

SHARING A CAR WITH MY HUSBAND

I used to go online before work each day, but now i get up an hour early to drive my awesome husband to work every day. He had a motorcycle for awhile which he used to drive to work, but that was totalled in an accident a couple months ago.

MY NEW WINTER SLEEP SCHEDULE
I've been going to sleep a LOT earlier lately becuase of the fact that it gets dark so early. Im narcoleptic, so at night, I pass out in one second without even knowing im falling asleep. It moves my already early bedtime from 9 oclock to sometimes 730. It makes for very short days, thus lack of extra time for blogging.

MY ONGOING TV ADDICTION
I'm still watching my shows mentioned in my earlier post, Monday through Wednesday. Now I've added a new show to my weekly schedule not mentioned before:CHUCK. I

started watching it because it came on before HEROES,and didnt particularly love it. But, NOW Im hooked. Fall is always a busy time for me because all the shows im busy watching. And on THURSDAYS I have been going on to abc.com, cbs.com, and nbc.com and browsing through all their shows online, since you can watch full episodes of lots of shows online now. Its pretty fun. It sure is a time waster though.

As for TV SHOWS....LOST IS COMING BACK SOON!!!!

I hope this isnt the last season for the show, because of the stupid stupid stupid STUPID writers guild strike. JUST PAY THEM WHAT THEY WANT AND DONT TAKE AWAY MY SHOWS PLEASE!!!!! I also heard a rumour somewhere on the internet that after the next 3 episodes of hereos, that its not coming back. PLEASE NOOOOOO!!!!!!

I can't BELIEVE how long I've gone without posting. I have alot to post about, but I'm busy getting ready to leave to go to St. George for Thanksgiving. I promise to do a long post when I get back. For now, I'll leave you with some funny pictures to entertain you.......no theme this time, just random funny pictures:

P.S. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HUMP DAY HUMOUR

ANIMAL EDITION #2

I've been tagged

I got tagged a couple days ago, but put off posting because I couldnt think of anything clever/interesting for this post. So, sorry in advance if this is boring. haha

DEEP DARK SECRETS

The rules are to post 6 items about yourself (habits, traits, deep dark secrets, etc.) on your blog, then tag 6 more people to do the same. So here is what I came up with:

1. I love candy/sweets. Love probably isnt a strong enough word to describe my affection for food and candy with sugar. I have a very unhealthy addiction, and I'm always trying to get my hands on more CANDY. Whenever I decide to try eating better/ more healthy, I can never seem to give up candy/sweets.

2. I don't know how to cook. (I can cook macaroni and cheese, or other simple things like that, but every time I attempt to cook anything with more than 2 steps involved, its disastrous. Thank goodness Devin is good at cooking, and is willing to help me learn how.

3. I hate driving. When I was a kid, I told my mom I wasnt gonna drive ever, and that my husband was gonna drive. Well, If I could make Devin drive me everywhere, and it wasnt a huge hassle, I would. Its not the driving part I hate, its the dealing with so much traffic part that I hate.

4. I never wake up with the alarm. I hit snooze at LEAST 3 times. Usually closer to 10 times.

5. I'm a picky eater. Ive become a little less of a picky eater since I've grown up. Here are some of the food I don't like to eat: tomatoes, asian food, seafood, barbeque sauce, beef, onions, guacamole.

6. I love buying new makeup, even when I dont need it. As shown in my recent post, I am always buying more makeup to add to my collection.

I TAG ALLISON, AMY, MELANIE, BRYNN, BECKY, CASSIE, CHRISSY, JESSICA & CHRISTINA.
