"I like your blog"

Leslie, my sister, and I were chatting online like we normally do and she randomly states "I like your blog" I say back, "You are weird" and she says "Why, I just like it...." lol. I LOVE YOU LES!!!


There is this thing going around Facebook right now. You right 25 random facts about yourself and then "tag" a certain amount of friends so they do it as well. It's like a dumb chain letter. And because I insist in being Anti facebook I will list my 25 random facts on here so I don't have to tag anyone. LOL....

1. I don't know all of the United State names, let alone how many states there actually are.

2. I blush at EVERYTHING! Literally! Mom could say hi to me and I'd blush.

3. If I wouldn't gain weight my diet would consist of the follwing: Sunflower seeds, popcorn, fried chicken, and grandma's fried okra. :)

4. I talk to myself a lot. Maybe even enough to make some think I'm crazy. lol.

5. I absolutely LOVE teenagers. I wouldn't mind having 2 or 3 teenagers but I am terrified of babies. And the thought of giving birth not only makes me want to barf my brains out it also gives me panic attacks! So if sometime in the future I can just have teenagers without giving birth...that is what I will do. Oh wait...isn't that what adoption is for???

6. I coached cheerleading for 8 years. It is my passion. It is the most amazing feeling seeing your squad succeed and having numerous teenagers or children look up to ya.

7. I was supposed to graduate in 2002 which would have been considered early. After flunking economics I opted to graduate on time in 2003. I got lazy and didn't grad until 2004...after I was married. My diploma is in my married name...LOL.

8.Beauty school drop out was sung to me when I left cosmetology school to pursue other ventures in Atlanta, GA.

9. Being a fraidy cat is something that I deal with on a daily basis. I am so fraid of the dark I still sleep with the light on.

10. I have never been sent or even given flowers from a man.

11. I am afraid of birds. No particular reason other than they can poop on you at any given time w/o any warning! lol

12. I dance ALL the time. In my car, in the shower, when I'm washing the dishes, in my head....ALL the time. But most of the time I dance in the mirror. :)

13. I still day dream. Actually that's normally how I fall asleep at night. My daydreams can consist of anything from me being successful living in a penthouse in MIA to being a hip hop music video dancer.

14. I cannot spell to save my life. And 90 percent of the time I forget to proof read or spell check my work. lol

15. I'm extremely self conscious and completely self confident...all at the same time!

16. I claim to never want to get married again because I am scared of getting hurt. But I am a hopeless romantic and would love to find someone that completed me. (wow...that couldn't have come out anymore corny!)

17. I'm extremely materialistic in a cheap way. I love designer clothing, accesories, and such but will only buy them at discount stores such as Ross.

18. I have such a high standard for a man I would let myself actually love that I will never fall in love.

19. Over the past year I have grown to love crafts, making anything home made, and cooking. I know who would have thought!!!!

20. I have a freckle in my eye. The technicle term is speckle.

21. I love the beach and ocean. BUT i hate sand and I am too afraid to swim in the ocean b/c of sharks.

22. I won a Kareokee contest once because I rapped the words to "We are family".

23. I once worked for Dominos for 3 hours. I quit when we were slow and a supervisor told me to wash the dishes. I told him that I didn't wash dishes and walked out...lol

24. Although you can't tell, I had braces for 4 1/2 years. No more than a year after having them off my top teeth seperated again.

25. I would give my right arm in order to have all of my family living in Jensen Beach, FL again!

No way...it's already February of 2009?

Well, its already Feb of 2009!! I have a feeling that this year is going to go by just as fast as last year did. I don't have much to say in this blog other than it's 1:23am and I can't sleep. I caught a cold on Monday of last week and haven't been able to shake it yet. I took a 6 hour nap and now I can't sleep...LAME! lol. Because it's the month of "love" I thought this pic I took @ Red Robin would be a great way to kick off the LOVE MONTH. :)

"Home is where you can scratch where it itches"

Allison Lincoln and her boyfriend recently moved into a new apartment in New York. Her quote for her blog entry was: "A house is made of walls and beams; a home is built with love and dreams." As much as I wanted to steal her quote I decided against it and searched for my own. When I stumbled upon "Home is where you can scratch where it itches", it just seemed to fit. lol

ANYWAY-I finally have my own casa!!!!! "WOW" is what you are all probably saying. This is the first time I have moved out on my own since I moved to Utah and more important the first time I feel like I am stable in my life since my marriage in 2003! Crazy I know! I have a beautiful 2/2 located in Cottonwood Heights, Utah. Cottonwood is about 15 minutes from downtown. It is located on the east side close to the east mountains. It's absolutely beautiful up here! :) My roommate's name is Dan. He was born in Miami and grew up in Altamonte Springs. Although our favorite college football teams are not the same, our home is definately a FLORIDA home! :) Below are some pictures of our place....we were in the process of moving in so excuse the messyness of some of the pics. Also please excuse the lazyness of the photography!...I have a terrible cold and didn't have much energy to get creative.

The best part of my place...The TUB!!!! I love it!

Picture 1 of my bedroom.
Picture 2 of my bedroom. If you can tell, the accent wall is already painted. Thank god, because if you recall at my last apartment I started painting the walls, got into a bad car accident, and NEVER finished! lol
View from our Patio! It's beautiful. We have a view of the west mountains.
View 2 from our patio.
View 1 of the kitchen

Our living room. Again another accent wall already painted! :)

Dan's quarters! :) His room is straight back, his bathroom is to the left and our laundry room is to the right.

MY ASHLEY IN UTAH!!

My long time best friend of 10 almost 11 years Ashley McKenzie came to visit me in Utah! :) I haven't been back to Florida to visit in almost 2 years and I hadn't seen Ashley in a little over a year! It was so awesome to see her! It was bitter sweet visit though. It was great to see her but she was only passing through on her way home from yellowstone so she was only in SLC for a day and a half. Regardless of how long she was here it was AWESOME seeing her! Here are just a few pics of Ash & I.

Once, Sometimes, Now

Just a random poem-thing I wrote forever and a day ago. Kinda emo-but I liked it!




Once, I needed you
Once, I loved being with you
Once, I couldn't get enough hugs & kisses from you
Once, I trusted you
Once, I believed your lies
Once, I left
Once, I looked and came running back
Once, I was foolish
Once, I did everything to forget you

Sometimes, I wondered what if...
Sometimes, I'd miss you like crazy
Sometimes, I wanted you to hold me
Sometimes, I needed to hear your voice...telling me everything is ok.
Sometimes, I didn't understand what happened
Sometimes, I cried tears over you...that you would never see
Sometimes, I wish I would have made you happier
Sometimes, All I wanted was your approval
Sometimes, I hated you

Now, don't call me...I can't bear to hear your voice.
Now, don't call me beautiful...You don't make me feel it.
Now, don't tell me you love me...I don't believe you!
Now, don't ask me to belive or trust you...you had your chance.
Now, don't ask me to come running back...I already had.
Now, don't try to ruin new adventures...you've already ruined enough
Now, don't beg for my heart...you already had it and took it apart
Now, don't worry about me...I am finally OK
Now, don't think about me anymore...I have forgoton who you are.....

LOL LOL LOL

My fav. movie of all time is the Wizard of Oz...if you didn't know that, get off my page! ;) I was dying laughing when I saw this

Happy New Year!

I just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy New Year! I am soooo glad 2008 is over...this was another crapy year for me. I have high hopes for 2009 and I'm hoping I can get my life on track once again! lol.

Update on my life as of 1-01-2009:

I am working again! Who knew that working would be such a pleasure! lol. I am working as Office Admin for Six Figure Consulting. I've only been there a few weeks now but I absolutely love the work & the people. I am still single!...but that's a good thing, I think. lol. I had such a terrible experience with my last boyfriend that it's been a nice breath of fresh air to have NO "man" drama in my life. Don't get me wrong...I totally miss the hugs & kisses of a man BUT I'm sooo happy with no drama that it's all good. :) I am currently looking for my own place. I found the apartment I want but it's a bit pricey so I'm continuing the hunt. I mean...I can't free-load off mom & dad forever! ;) Although I'm glad to be around mom & dad and my friends here I am absolutely home sick for Florida! I miss everything and everyone back home! Let's see...I think that's about it.

Cool WHip

This is for you mom! LOL....I LOVE YOU! PS-WE built this city! We built this city on ROCK & ROLL!

Christmas Eve

I spent most of the day with my friend Adam just hanging out. But around 6pm I came home to mom's home made cookin, Betsey, and the Jordan/Julie clan. :) Here are some pics from tonight....more to come tomorrow

Ya know I had to do a shot with Darla! Her eyes are kinda creepy but she's so dang cute!


Mom's beautiful Christmas tree!!

(This is for Bets) So leave it to our fam to be the most sarcastic one on the block! Mom, Dad, Bets, & I all sit down to play a new game that "Santa" brought early for us! It's called Out of Time or Timeout or something like that. Anyway, it was a super fun game but we were all kinda tired, grumpy, and in very sarcastic moods. Mom was frustrated that someone left the top off the Ib Profen and askes (in mom's "wheat/wood" voice) WHO left the cap off of the IBP. So I answered "WHO let the dogs out WHO WHO WHO WHO WHO! lol. If you aren't a member of my family I'm sure you are totally lost but everyone in the fam knows what I'm talkin' about! LOL. I miss all of you and hope everyone has a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!
