"I choose not to read"

Okay maybe I gave reading a shot... Actually I gave it a huge shot. There was a read a thon at the school and I didn't want to look stupid. So I bought a book by Nicholas Sparks, because I know that he writes good books, that have made movies.. So why not give it a shot?.. So I opened the new book, and it didnt have that feeling of "Where the Red Fern Grows".. It was actually good. Let me explain my history that makes me hate to read...

In the 7th grade at the end of the year, we took state tests( the ones with the purple no.2 pencil?), that you always rush through.. well at least I did, until this very moment. You open up the state test and it was on reading, and I never looked forward to the reading section. It was a story about pigs, farms, boring things. Apparently, I sped through the reading section and failed..
HERES the clincher... Because I did not pass that test, I had to take a Reading class during 8th grade while others could do an elective.. like cooking, spanish,etc. If someone would have said that, I would have passed that test. So there you go, thats why I chose not to read.
I was forced to read books that I didn't like and do more homework.. homework, and worksheets on reading, with a teacher named Ms. Nielson. I saw her the next year everyday in the halls, and she always said hi to me , she would call me, "Linda".. I didn't have the heart to tell her, that wasn't my name. It was just awkward.

I finally choose to read, and finished 2 books in two days. I love reading, and I also recommend them. I am reading another book right as we speak.

"Going Green"...yellow and black

Why would I want to go green? Ok I believe in Recycling, but I am not going to get the most expensive car, just so some Liberals will be happy.
Have you ever noticed that suburu's have obama stickers? Do they come with the peace sign and bumper sticker when you buy it? I have noticed less obama stickers as I drive, maybe its not the new "trend".
I have seen 3 commercials on GREEN JOBS, as I watch Lord of the Rings on TNT. I just want to watch Lord of the Rings in peace without being politically influenced in what I should be doing. Is it because its earth day coming up. Who knows... People say Green is the new Black. I disagree. Alot of people do not look good in green. My mom always says people look good in teal. It really just depends on your skin tones..
Now people are worried about fuels and all that, what about the bees? anyone concerned about that? It happened in Bee movie. Its a real thing. They are not finding their way back to their homes. They say it could be the waves from cell phones, that is one theory. But when everyone has their green cars, and theres no food because of pollination problems, they should have listened to me. So forget about going green. Its yellow and black...

Tonight on the Biggest Loser... Interuption...

WHAT?? I was listening to my weekly biggest loser opening music to pump me up, and then... a PRESS CONFERENCE? oh no..wait what about American Idol.. This is on all stations!!! HELP! He picked the worst night! This is my night to watch fat people crying, and skinney people getting critizied for picking the wrong song, this is MY night.

Dear President Obama,

I have not been really happy with your "job" as president so far, but I would like to address press conference times. If there is a terror attack, tsunumi, or people being attacked by birds, then you can come on and give your advice at any time. For the rest of the time, come on at 5pm. thats news time. Thanks.

A fellow American,

3 of a Kind

Eric and I went to Jordan commons last night, big mistake... packed... but we went to go see Slumdog Millionaire (great movie btw) I would just like to mention a few things that happened to us while we were out on the town...
First we were walking back to our car, Eric sees a red bull car, and he runs into traffic, people are honking and he asks for red bulls. Now we have been married for 6 months, thought I kind of know him, but one minute he is holding my hand, laughing, then running to a red bull car like it was the ice cream truck.. I have never seen him so excited.

As we are walking back to our car as well, we saw a lady in a cape walking to the movie. "It is good cape weather."(Seinfeld quote) It was also glittery.. It just freaked me out.



I knew this year was going to be hard, with economic hardships, bad presidents,
democrats not paying their taxes, cough *Tom Daschle*. No wonder why liberals don't like taxes, THEY NEVER PAY THEM... but with this crazy world, I am just not ready for capes yet.

You are Banned...

Okay, it all started with me saying, Eric you are banned from Looking at puppies online.. But the banning has become worse. We have a list of what Eric bans me from and what I ban him from, and Yes we take it seriously..

Lets start with me, and what I am banned with:
Renting movies of any sort
Once again Eric reminds me this includes redbox, blockbuster, hollywood..etc
Drinking half a pop and leaving it..
Honey (forever)
banned from having my david archuletta cd poster by the bed.

Now lets start with Eric's Banned list:
No looking on ksl classified under any dogs, cats, rats, livestock etc
no youtubing puppies of any kind
hes almost banned from animal planet, but i just can't do it
Spooning the peanut butter
no opening the window to sleep when its 3 degrees

well thats our banning list so far, its not forever, except the honey one, which is understandable.. As I am writing this I am sick, I think I will leave you with a message:

Be thankful you have your health.

a picture is worth a thousand words

Eric says this looks like the Corona commercial.. He took it in Cancun.. you be the judge..

update

okay, so I come from a long line of over reactors. My bruise is about a size of a dime on my back. Eric did say I was turning a "little" drama when I asked him to go to Dans and get me an 'instyle' magazine so I could feel better... Did not do it, he just told me, "linds I think you are okay now" haha. I guess he was right, but the story is priceless.
