????

Well that last post really blew chunks now didn't it? Oh well I guess the winner is ME! so I guess now I will use the money to go buy me a new swimsuit before my family reunion. We wouldnt want my chest making an appearance there like it did the last time I went swimming now would we???? (that is a story I didnt tell!)

His or Hers

I thought while showing you all what we ended up with while testing our new camera I would involve my first game. It is called his and hers. I want you all to tell me which pics are the ones I took (hers) and which ones Bryce took (his). some are easy some aren't so easy. Whoever gets the most right will get a prize, even if I have to ship it. Even if I don't know you, guess! It'll be lots of fun. I will close the guessing on wed. night and give you the answers/winner on Thursday! Good luck!

Taking the Plunge

We started discussing this last night. making the big decision.

Didn't get much sleep, tossed and turned all night long.

Woke up with eager anticipation, today is the big day.

I'm nervous.

Big Commitment.

Got showered, shaved my legs.

Put on my best make up, chose my best eye color to accentuate my best features.

Got in my best dress, found my favorite pair of shoes.

Oh the butterflies!

Drove to 'the place'

Took the Plunge.

Got strawberry frappachinno and pumpkin bread from Starbucks on the way home to celebrate.

We did it!

And in case you didn't catch on, we got our new DIGITAL CAMERA. I am excited! I get so flustered and nervous about loans, credit cards, and debt but I really am trying to build up some more credit. We took the plunge and I got it! Finally. Now 9 months of being tied down to a new commitment.

Sinful Apple Dumpling

Someone requested that I start working on my recipes again. Please let me know if you like them. I know everyone puts up recipes but I try to make mine super easy and healthy (with the exception of this one.) Feedback is awesome!

Sinful Apple Dumpling

2 Granny smith apples
2 can crescent rolls
2 sticks of butter
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
cinnamon
1 small can (8 oz or less) mountain dew

Peel and core the apple (I forgot to peal.. oops). Cut apples into 8 slices each. Roll each apple slice in a crescent roll. Place in a sprayed pan. Melt butter, then add sugar and barely stir. Add vanilla, stir, and pour over apples. Pour mountain dew around the edges of the pan. Sprinkle with Cinnamon and bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Serve with ice cream (optional) and spoon some of the sweet sauces from the pan over the top.
Then go to confessions. Quickly

For my calories counters, I wont tell you the calories in these. Eat and enjoy then figure it out cough cough 285 cough cough

Dear Mr Squirrel

Dear Mr Squirrel,
I headed my way up to mirror lake to see you this weekend. It has been a while and I know I have abandoned my dear friend. Friday night was late and you must have been asleep. I didnt even hear you making your hunger pain cries. It was late and I was tired, I didn't think twice as I shut my eyes.
Saturday morning I heard you screaming for joy when you saw me. That or you were fighting over some hot girl that you have found since I last saw you. The minute I came out of my tent you ran away to frolic with your new found friends, I am sorry! I think back to the times when I was young. I would steal my dads hazelnuts and ride my bike around until I saw you. At the base of your home I would put a handful of the hazelnuts and leave. When I came back around the campground loop they would be gone. You seemed to like that because every time I came around you would be waiting. Although I have to say I don't think my dad was too much of a happy camper. He soon learned to buy more than just one bag, I never told him how they disappeared so fast.
This time I even had some Gourmet trail mix. by after noon you must've still been mad becsudr you wouldn't come around. I decided to head out for a gingerly walk around the lake hoping you would cool down a bit. I even gave your friend Ms. fish some raisin. She didn't like them too well because she spit them out as soon as I tried to feed them to her. I guess walmart brand doesnt count as gourmet. I lied.

I came back and saw you running around. I even put some at the base of your 'tree' but you were just not having it. I asked Bryce to keep an eye out while I went to go take a nap. The only thing I got out of it was a nice sunburn.

By evening I still had not seen you coming running to my presents that I left for you. Boy you must be mad! I thought I would even throw you out a chip, no such luck. Ok I lied again, I dropped a chip, but I had you in mind. By dinner time I decided to take another hike, maybe this time you would come out, I am leaving soon.

We got eaten alive out there by sir mosquito but saw some of the best picture perfect moment.

When I came back I didn't not see you but I did see your good friend lady chipmunk chomping away at the chip that was meant for you. I am sorry you didn't get to it first.

I waited up until the wee hours of the morning but you must've been exhausted. I am sorry that I didn't get to see you this time around. Sunday morning we left early for the mean park rangers were kicking us out. Maybe next time you will be oh so forgiving so I can see your cute little face. I will miss you.

Sincerely,
The lady who shouldn't have, but did

Thomas D Mangelsen

Last weekend when we were in Park City walking Main I saw this little shop. I am in the process of decorating the kitchen and soon after will be hitting the living room. I want it to be a warm inviting place. I am always keeping my eye out for things to use. Back to Main. I saw this little shop and it has the perfect photography to go into our living room! It is the photography of Thomas Mangelsen. I have always had a fascination with Gorillas/monkeys and when I saw the picture above I fell in LOVE! The pictures are outrageous in price so we went to lunch but I could not get my mind off of this picture. After lunch we went back in there, I did not get the framed picture but I did get a 5 x 11 card. I also got the one of the polar bears. $3, you cant beat that when the pictures are in the hundreds. I thought I would share some of his photography with you. If you would like to see more click here ** None of his photos are digitally enhanced. Everything you see is just as he took them.

Oh and sorry about the whole toilet girl post. I was in the moment, I will not delete it for that is who I am. Hopefully Karma wont kick me in the butt that hard for saying that

I've had a bad day

Dear Blog:

Have you ever had one of those days that just seem funny when you get up and as the day goes on you now know why you should've called in sick, stayed in your pajamas, watch a complete chick flick and not move a damn inch?

I'm having one of those days.

oh yeah and you remember toilet girl??? I completely hate her. Yes I said hate. I am not the one to hate but at this very moment, yes. I hope karma comes back to bite her in the ASS. and hard!

My jaw is locked up (still).

Maybe now it will relax a little bit.

Thanks for listening.
