Newest playlist

Its been a while since I talked about new music

but you know me

and you know I love my music!

Lately I have been on a big country kick

I have always loved country

but many of my friends don't

so I don't listen to it that often

but lately I haven't cared!

I love the simplicity

the feel good lyrics

the sound of the guitar

and maybe a little bit of twang

but not a lot

Here are some country songs that I can't stop listening to:

1. American Honey by Lady Antebellum
2. Whatever it is by Zach Brown Band
3. Unapologize by Carrie Underwood
4. Neon Moon by Brooks and Dunn
5. Boy Like Me by Jessica Harp
6. Long Gone by Lady Antebellum
7. Somebody Like You by Keith Urban
8. American Saturday Night by Brad Paisley
9. Kerosene by Miranda Lambert
10. Gimmie That Girl by Joe Nichols

I promise

I will do better at keeping this more up to date.

No more overloads like today!

I will try my best!

Love you blends!

(blends: blog friends, stolen from Natalie)

I got one!

Remember what I said I wanted for my birthday?

Well guess what, I got one!

I love turning it on each day and listening to

my parents, and grandparents old records.

As well as a few I have purchased!

Best birthday present to date!

New Car!

In May I sold my car

and had to find a new one

Well I picked a 2004 Toyota Prius!

She is so pretty, and I am in love!

Little sneak...

One afternoon I rode up to my cabin

with my Dad to check a few things out.

While out on our porch we heard a noise in our grill

a Pot Gut was in it!

A Pot Gut resembles a Prairie Dog

and hundreds of, maybe thousands,

are out and about during June.

They are annoying little rodents that actually

are pretty smart.

They are not really scared of humans

so they are up on our deck all the time.

Some people think they are cute but

Personally though they bug...

June 1st

is a GREAT fantastic wonderful

blessed celebration type of day!

Why?

Because it is the birthday of:

Brigham Young

Heidi Klum

Alanis Morissette

Maryilyn Monroe

oh and ME!

Fishing

Over Memorial Day Weekend

I went to my cabin with my family.

While there some of us made the trip over to

Skutumph

(not sure how it is spelled...)

It was really windy

and kind of cold

but still fun

(Can someone please explain why my eyes always

do this in pictures? It is annoying.)

The only fish we caught were little ones

so we threw them back.

But fishing is always a good time!

My cute kids..

or my cute nieces and nephews

because obviously I don't have kids

We were enjoying a warm afternoon about a month ago

(when the weather was that perfect spring temperature

of warm afternoons and still cool in the evenings...)

and I took a few pictures of some of the kids.

I am no photographer

and really have no skill at it

but I like taking pictures anyway

Collin's face is messy

but he is so cute

and those big blue eyes kill me!

The next photos you can tell

that Shalane was not around...

Elise was eating the chalk

and we all let her

because she was so happy while doing so

Sorry Shalane!

And Brooklyn did not want her picture taken

until I said lets take them in front of the flowers

then she was quite the poser...

This one is really old

I was looking through pictures

and realized I never uploaded these ones!

These are from Easter of this year.

One of my favorite traditions we do for Easter

is to roll Easter Eggs!

Who wants to eat old hard boiled eggs

that have been colored all sorts of interesting shades

with stickers and other adornments on them,

when you can THROW them!

The following pictures are in no particular order...

Brooklyn's face in this is the best!

I get excited when I have a good one

And for some reason there are a number

of pictures where I am doing this...

OVERLOAD!!!

I have slacked this month.
As in seriously slacked.
I have a number of posts that need to be made.
So sorry for the post overload that is about to happen...

Funny story

So do you remember my post

on not recycling boys?

Well today I got a reminder about that.

The same guy that inspired the other post

text me today.

(I had already deleted his number

but I knew it was him)

He said,"So are we just not going to talk anymore?"

My reply, "Yeah pretty much"

(I am kind of a brat, I know but he deserved that!)

He asked, "Why"

I said, "We are looking for different things.

I am done."

His response,

"K do me a favor, delete me from your phone and from your life.  Maybe when you grow up you should look me up."

What? Really? 

I need to grow up when you are the one saying that?

I didn't dignify this with a response.

Then about five minutes later I get this text from him

"By the way. Richfield blows a$$, and your style is horrible."

Yeah, really those were the words.

I think we are all really happy that this

BOZO is now officially out of my life!

People Keep Telling Me This

"You look tired"

In the past few weeks I have heard it a few times.

But it has been said 3 times in the last 24 hours.

And every time they do

all I can think about is this quote

from Stepmom

Isabel: You look tired.

Jackie: I hate when people say that.

It's like a polite way of telling you that you look like shit.

Maybe it is a hint?

Or maybe I really do just need to work

on getting more sleep at night.

I just hope I really don't look like that.

Because that would be unfortunate.

Recyle

Today was a reminder

once you have dated a guy

and things ended badly

STOP DATING THEM!!!

Don't give them third

and forth

and fifth chances

(yeah I think this was the fifth or

sixth chance with this kid)

Give it up!

MOVE ON!

And realize that you got

rid of him those other times

FOR A REASON!

No more recyling used boys...

LR2

My first niece turned 11 today!

Lydia Ruth!

I love this girl!

In so many ways she is the younger

sister I always wanted.

There are many similarities between us

like the same middle name

which makes us both LR.

And lots of other little things I wont bore you with.

Another thing which makes today really special

is the fact that she is the age I was

when she was born!

I love you Lydia!

Memorial Day Weekend

I hope you all had a great weekend!

I LOVED mine!

A few things I enjoyed:

• Slept at my cabin a couple of nights
• Spent quality time with my most of my family
• Went fishing
• Had a little target practice (which I have been wanting to do for months...not really sure why)
• Went to church
• Had no cell service for a few days (this is one of my favorite things about the mountains)
• Yummy barbecued food
• Great day at work on Monday
• And did a little shopping

Really the perfect type of weekend! 
And a great start to summer!
