Christmas Quiz

So peer pressure made me do this. Actually I love quizzes. I'm one of those weird people that actually will spend 20 minutes on the phone answering random questions. haha. DORK!

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Wrapping paper!! I'm anal about corners being perfect, etc. I love pretty packages.

2. Real tree or artificial? REAL! (if I chose to get a tree!) Although I hate the mess...I don't care how many candles you burn to smell like a pine tree...it's NOT the same. Also, in Oregon you could go to a lot and cut yours down. That was pretty fun.

3. When do you put up the tree? Because I don't really wanna drag a tree up 3 flights of stairs, and then back down when it's over - I've not done the tree tradition for a bit.

4. When do you take the tree down? See note above.

5. Do you like eggnog? Gag me with a Green Twinkie

6. Favorite gift received as a child? My pink huffy 10 speed. Seriously, what doesn't sound cool about that even now?

7. Do you have a Nativity scene? Nope

8. Hardest person to buy for? My dad! I feel like all I ever get him is DVD's or a tie. BORING!

9. Easiest person to buy for? My mom. I swear I could give that lady a spoon and she'd cry and think it was the best thing on Earth. Either she crazy...or a mom....jury's still out on crazy.

11. Mail or e-mail Christmas cards? I always have good intentions to mail cards. We'll see.

12. Favorite Christmas Movie? Family Man. Not your standard answer, but I do love it.

13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? Dec 1. Except then I always remember how I have to not make eye contact with those damn bell ringers at EVERY stinking store I go in!

14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? I don't believe I have. I'll take it back for store credit if I don't LOVE it - but that's rare.

15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? Breakfast Pizza on Christmas Morning. I swear I wait all year for that stuff. Yes I can make it not on Christmas, but then what would I look forward too.

16 Clear lights or colored on the tree? Clear.

17. Favorite Christmas song? O Holy Night. I think I tear up every time I hear it. And if you give me the Josh Groban version - I'm a gonner!

18. Travel at Christmas or stay home? Either. It's just me so I do what I want. If I'm home, I'll just talk to my family in the morning and head up snowboarding for the day.

19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer? But of course!

20. Angel on the tree top or a star? We always had an angel growing up, but I'm uncomfortable in my older age with the idea of the tip of the tree up her skirt...i'll opt for the star.

21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? We had to chant "OPEN PRESENTS" for like 2 hours, then finally were allowed to open one of our choosing from a family member (which was stupid because the Harker's can't keep secrets so we all know what they are anyway). But I swear we still act SO excited when we open them! We are so weird.

22. Most annoying thing about this time of year? Those blasted bell ringers! I gave my money to the last guy - don't eyeball me elfkin man!

23. Favorite Christmas tradition? On Christmas Eve night each child gets in the shower and while each one is in there the "pixies" will come and lay out new pajamas. It was always a fun tradition. I'm pretty sure now - the shower event was just to encourage those CRAZY-HAIRED Christmas morning pictures. Mission Accomplished Mom and Dad.

24. Up early or sleeping in? Even now, at age 30...I wake up at 4am on Christmas morning. I'm sooo excited. And I've already opened all my presents anyways. The kids would all wake up early and go through our stockings...put everything back the way it was...and then do it again w/ the parents like we had no idea what was in it!

25. Who hands out the gifts? Who ever was closest to the tree - we didn't care.

26. Does Santa wrap your gifts? Yes! And my dad will "Tag" them to say "from Mortemer Creedashren, Santa's Elf". I swear he names them all.

27. Do you tell the Christmas story? Nope! I don't think we ever have. Except one year when my parents were feeling extra churchy.

28 Do you leave cookies for Santa? OF COURSE! and carrots for the reindeer!

I'm a blogging LOSER

I haven't really felt compelled to blog lately! I guess because my days have all been the same.

Last night I went for a Massage at Kura Door and LOVED IT! I could seriously get a massage weekly. But...at $105 + tip a pop....I'll settle for when I'm super stressed out and just really need it. But 90 minutes of heaven with a CUTE male massage therapist was fantastic. Then I went in the steam room where another cute male was just kickin it. I could get used to that place! Haha. It could possibly be that it's been forever since I had any action that makes me think they're all cute - but I'm pretty sure I still know the difference!

I'll blog about my Thanksgiving weekend later when I feel like downloading pictures. I'm Lazy!

Go Utes!

Yesterday, Laurel, me, and tiny baby Rachel got to attend the ass-kickin' of the year U of U vs Wyoming. Please check the scoreboard:

Yep! It really does say 50 - 0!!! Apparently the coach for Wyoming made some comment about he "guaranteed a victory over the Utes and they'd be laughing about it on Monday." So Kyle (head coach) and the "gang" were pulling out all the punches just to make the wound bleed a little more. Which was pretty funny I've got to say, but perhaps a little unsportsmanlike conduct. Whatever, that jackass deserved what he got! Odd that I feel more energy from this school than I ever did the school I actually went to. Okay well - paid tuition to. I'm pretty sure we all know how often I actually went! HAHA!

Since Laurel's husband is one of the offensive coaches, we got great seats! It was a gorgeous day, and we had lots of fun! The family of the coaches/players even get to go on the field after the game. Kinda fun I gotta tell you. You feel pretty tiny on that GIANT field.



(pictures are the troll wig we put on Rachel, because Laurel's a "mean mama" that makes her child look like a freak because she can; me and Rachey at the game (the helmet is to help re-shape her head and I love Laurel that she laughs at the 'extra' smiles moms give as you're walking around with her; the band on the field at the end of the game; the players with my 10x zoom from the seats.)

Here is Aaron (Laurel's husband) - he's the cute one in the white shirt...not the creepy old guy looking up at the camera - in action on the field:

And a pictures - just to make Natalie drool a wee bit. Here's pictures of where our seats were:

Hayley, Jo, Me & The Chili's

Last night Hayley and I had one of our dinners. I think we've decided that if we're not dating anyone - we should be okay with dating each other once in awhile. (I'm sad to report she's not as "easy" as she let on in the beginning!)

Anyway, I was late and then we were FINALLY seated! We were seated in Jo's section. Quite possibly 30 minutes passed before we were even acknowledged. Drink orders were taken and then another 100 years passed before they were brought without straws. Mind you the place wasn't SUPER busy or anything crazy - but we didn't even get an "OMG, I'm sooooo sorry - I'm new!" or... "Wow, my section has been SO busy and the kitchen caught fire, and all the dishes had to be remade because fire extinguisher 'juice' got on the meals..." (note: if i was a food service attendant, I would make up the most outrageous stories EVER! Oh wait...I do that already!)

Anyway Jo finally returns with our drinks and throws some napkins on the table. Literally throws. I was already annoyed (and HUNGRY!) So I look at my napkin and realize she's crimped it. DUDE, LEAVE THE ATTITUDE AT THE LAST TABLE!

Exhibit A: The criming - caught on film.
First of all - who knows what I want to wipe with that napkin...and now...who knows where the hands of the culprit behind said crimping have been. Jo...she seemed sketchy from the beginning.


Now...as I'm about to bitch and moan to Hayley about it - I look over to the napkin brought to her kindly by the very same Jo. Need I say more!?!


Okay in all fairness to Jo. This event was slightly dramatized for blogging purposes. Hayley crumbled the napkin up for effect before the picture was taken and after I did actually complain about the state of my napkin upon deliver. But Jo still sucked!

Random Comment of the day

Do you ever look at a guy, check out his hiney - and just know his ass is hairy? Like monkey hairy - not just the every guy has a little fuzz on his rump. Seriously I think I have "the gift". You know what they say about not hiding your talents under a bushel.

This kid is smart.

So at first I thought he said "I like buttholes" - which of course would've been even better (and VERY MUCH like Oregon)...but the randomness of "I like turtles" with the zombie face on - priceless!

Yes I know lately my posts are all about videos from YouTube, but they're funny!
