Post # 100

This is a post that is about everything and everything that is rolling around in my head. So, here it goes!
WARNING: fairly long post ahead

I blame it on my parents but it really isn't their fault that I am the way I am. I hate the cold! I can't even take AC well and I live in AZ! Most people think that there is something wrong with me when I'm in the very large mall of ours shivering because it is below 70. You think that I am joking? Well, so did the cute guy at the Verizon booth who asked if I was feeling well the other day. I am joking however about having a very large mall by the way. It's tiny. You walk in one direction you'll see it all!

I just rearranged my bedroom and now I just have to vacuum. I've been avoiding that.

I think that it is about time that I find a new series to follow with. You can't blame me, I miss talking to my aunt Shawna about Gilmore Girls when it was showing. Any suggestions?

It's also about time that I make my bed... isn't it?

I love my Grandma. hehehe. I have her for a little bit longer! Unfortunately she is going to go home to Alaska soon though. But until then you have to make your own bread! (not meant as mean, just laughing) --Love you Nonny!

I am going to Chino for an activity night. It's only been 3 years since I last went. I know that it will be really fun and I'll get to see everyone that I grew up with. It's kind of funny how everyone that I grew up with thought that I be this really tall person when I got older-I shot up sooner then most- and really I'm just average height. 5'6... and a 1/2!

I have this friend who is pretty close to my complete opposite. She likes the cold, I like the heat. She loves the dark, I need to light. etc. you get it right. I'm going to dye her hair. I have never dyed hair before.... I'll learn tomorrow though!

I have no units on my phone. So if you try to call and I don't pick up, don't get offended. It's not that I'm ignoring you. I'll call you back, when I find out you have called. You know what, just call my home phone! lol!

I have Starry brightness on my window. No, I don't think that I'll explain that one.

Thayne has been trying to scudoo into his favorite books and magazines for the past week. Scudoo - which I don't think I am even spelling right- is what Steve and Jo do in Blues Clues. It's where they'll do a little dance and sing a little long then jump into a book and get to play in the story. It's really cute. Thayne I think is still really upset that it doesn't work.

I got my hair cut! that is a really big thing. I have been needing a haircut for a while. So I asked one of my church leaders if I watched her kids she would cut my hair. It was a yes and she did an amazing job on it. She did some thinning and cut a inch or so off and now I feel like a whole new me! You may think that I am joking but I'm not! Thank you again Kim!

The mice bergaids are on again! I have a mouse in my room and he licked all the peanut butter off the trap and didn't even snap it! This is war. For those who know me for the life saving person I am, just remember that this is a mouse. That gets into all that it really shouldn't. If there was a way for me to get it out nicely I would. This is no spider to be put into a cup and put outside. Believe me! I would if I could.

Are we into August yet!??! I don't know why but I really am done with this month.

I think that is all for now.......

And the flavor is.......

Call me obsessed but I really wanted to know!
I emailed the company with the question," what is the flavor of Swedish fish?" and got this nice email back-

Dear Ms. Wilson-Callihan:

RED!!! In my opinion that is NOT a flavor it's a color! Thanks anyway though for your feedback on my question Consumer Relations001087315AJT!
And thank you readers of this blog for your answers as well.

P.S. No I did not take the picture.

Swedish Fish will set you free!

Not really but it sounded good!

This is a question to those who may or may not know.

What the heck is the flavor of Swedish fish!?!? To those who just thought," Chaiya... just look on the bag for that kind of a question."

Well, let me tell you, that the bag doesn't have anything on it about the flavor of this very yummy and highly health endangering snack! I even went to the site to see if it had anything to say about it. As you can tell...nothing. The first to tell me the REAL flavor will receive a bag of Swedish fish, hand delivered or mailed.

P.S. It is not Cherry.

This week was reflection.

This is one of the little girls I babysit for. She got really happy when I told her that I wanted her to put my lip gloss on. And to add to her happiness I was going to take pictures of her doing it! I love you LainaD!

scavenger hunt photo!

This week it is, drum role please..... Signs!

I was lazy. I even had a really cool, creative idea but just didn't get around to it.

EFY

What I didn't tell anyone was that I was having a really hard time with my testimony before I went to EFY. Not even girls camp(which usually helps) didn't scratch it. I went and it was nothing that I was expected it to be but was everything I needed. Now though, I have realized that I have been asleep and need to just wake-up from this comatose I've been in for far to long. I realized I am not satisfied with where I am at in life and know that I need to change things. I have this song in my car that I don't really listen to half the time. Today though as I was on my way to pick up my brother from a friends I hear it the way I needed to for the first time. " I'm sorry for the person I've became. I'm sorry that It took so long for me to change. I'm ready to never become that way again... cause who I am hates who I've been." Not In literally for me hating myself but realizing comes close.
Everyone in my group and more must think that I am the biggest crier in the world. I started to cry toward the end of the EFY song and didn't stop till the end of the testimony meeting... Then cried some more at the dorms. There was this guy who was not in our group who gave me and Allison tissue. After I thought that I was done crying! I can't remember him name but when he gave it to us he gave me a look like ' you need this more then I do'. Thank you!.. as I am laughing through my tears.
Inside joke,'Tithing slips look just like police tickets'. If you really want to know then you have to ask me in an email or in person. Yes, that one is for you Varga! hehehe
I didn't think that it would be good when I first walked up to sign in and all I saw were the run of the mill Prep, Jock and Cheerleader Mormon kids. I was wrong, and really glad I was. I met people I would have never met other wise and had experiences I will never forget. I think I was well worth the money and will do it next year if life permits.


P.S. All the pictures were not from my camera. I am lazy and didn't want to upload them! Thanks Debi for setting up the photobucket. ~Chy

I love this Picture! It was one of the first two days I think so none of us knew each other.

Well, that is a lie. I knew Joseph

Aubry and Debi. We were really bored as we waited to get to our seats

Did I mention that

we were really bored?.....

not altered....

Long story, but this was Brain's badge. None of us called him Brain. We all called him Toby. He just looked like a Toby so that is what we said.

more pictures from EFY

I think that this is salt..... I can't be sure though.

Nolan and Anna My roommate.

This was Sam. Not the one from Vegas. He was Climbing the tree and we all thought that he was going to fall.

Debi and Aaron

I have no idea why they were laughing so hard.

Aaron was laughing so hard he laid his head on the table and looked like he was going to cry.

I think it was about the cake, which was really REALLY gross

This was the first time to my knowledge that they did you the devil sign.. I think

Ian hold in there! I know that you don't want anymore pictures I feel the same way!





For those who know me well will know that when it comes to group picture taking I get burned out really fast. Unlike some-cough,cough, Josh- I don't have a perfect fake smile so I just stopped smiling toward the end of it.

This week was sports. I missed last week because I was at EFY, which I still need to post about.

But here is the pict of the week. I feel that politics is a sport!

All she wants for her Birthday is...

A catwalk! Yes you read it right. That is what a little 8 year old sister of mine wants for her birthday. So we are sitting in in-n-out burger and Lydia starts to talk about her birthday and what she wants (just remember that this girl was born in May, her birthday isn't anytime soon). We really aren't paying that much attention to her because every once in a while she will do this. But we started to listen when she told us that she wants a catwalk with stars on it and spotlights so she can walk just like this so everyone can see! Yes she demonstrated the way that she would walk and then continued, telling Quayde that it is for girls only. Where she heard of a catwalk and
knows what it is is a mystery to us!
I am still laughing and hope that you are too.
