MY year supply

The other day I was traveling down the road, probably stopped at a light and I was thinking of my year supply. As of right now it consists of: . I guess I'm hoping I'll be able to make it to my mom's and dad's before anything gets too bad. But I was thinking of things that I would like in my year supply. Of course we all think of the beans, flour, sugar, salt, water, you know the basics but then I started thinking "I want more than that! I can't just eat those things! I NEED SUBSTANCE!!!!" Snickers, butterfinger, pringles, chocolate, juice, soda, salad....mmmmmm now that's what I'm talking about! Then I got to thinking of things that aren't food. Of course most of us would want a change of clothes but then I thought "Naw I think I could survive with what I had on for a while." I like to wash my hair, shampoo and conditioner. Ya that would be nice but I guess I don't really NEED it. Toilet paper....most definetly! Games??? I'm just not sure what to expect...are we going to be just sitting around or are we going to be busy bees? And what about the kids? They're going to need something to do so I figure a few fun things to do wouldn't be a bad idea. What about books?!! We may need to take our minds off something so I'll for sure want a book or two!! After a while my list seemed pretty good of things that I needed and things that I wanted. (It felt like I was making a Christmas List for Santa!!) But then a thought popped into my head. "WHAT ABOUT TOOTH PASTE???!!!!" I have never thought this deep about my year supply and I almost started crying when I thought that I may not get to brush my teeth!! I don't know how many of you know this but I am a tooth brushing machine! Oh that fine fresh feeling of minty coolness after a vigorous brushing of the teeth followed by a good swishing or two of that refreshing liquid they call mouthwash :-) Awe sweet release! And then comes the ultimate clincher......a drink of ice cold water that only brings out the minty freshness of the sparkling white teeth! You breath in and you can feel the icy coolness as is rushes down your throat and fills your lungs! If only we could experience this 24/7 then that's when we would be in heaven! Atleast in my point of view! My hat goes off to the person who scribed of the first known tooth paste in the 4th century in Egypt. Thank you my kind sir for offering your knowledge, expertise, and your ability to make people around the world smile because of the delight in our mouths.

Single? WHAT?!!

Ya ya I know I'm single and I have a blog. I figure I better start sooner or later because it's going to be a hard transitions from facebook to blog :-) I'm not sure how often I'll post or even what it'll be about but I'm sure you'll LOVE it. I might not tell you alot about my life, but then again I just might. You'll want to check it often because I promise you you'll laugh atleast once, even if it's just in your head. And I'm not going to post pictures most of the time because that's an awkward scene. Imagine this....It's a beautiful cool day here in Chandler, Arizona and I'm walking down the sidewalk to my holistic medicine class. The breeze is blowing in my hair and it's one of those days when you think "Dang if I wasn't me and I saw me now I'd keep looking" . I take a deep breath, look left, look right, and BAM!!!!!!!!! Next thing I'm looking at is my hands trying to push myself off the ground. And what am I supposed to do??? "Hey man did you just see that!!! Well, I was wondering if maybe you could take some pictures of me so my family can see the road rash on my face!!!!!!!!!" AWKWARD!!! So for the most part it's just going to be my words, interesting facts, insights, jokes, or whatever's on my mind. (Use some caution in deciding what is appropriate. Example: If the title says something like' %$#@^%18!*#&* ' words of the wise, don't read it!!)

My real reason for 'creating' this blog is because of the talk given in the Relief Society Broadcast telling us to create. I thought for a long time about what a single girl, like me, could create. I tried listing all my qualities to see which ones could actually lead somewhere: mostly a good listener, usually upbeat, probably won't judge a person....by now my leads aren't looking so good. So I've decided that I can create smiles. I've been working on it little by little lately and I love it. Just hearing a little giggle makes my heart swell and it gives me my reason to get through the day sometimes. But then the big question....HOW THE WORLD DO I DO THAT?!! After having my nieces over for one night I found one way to answer that question. So this blog is dedicated to all the stay at home mom's. Okay, not even stay at home. If you are a mom, this is to you. We owe you the world!! Life with kids can be......numbing? Disorienting? Frustrating? BUT oh so wonderful at the same time. I hope that I can occasionally give you an out and let you see life through my eyes. Don't expect too much because this is just an experiment....so thank you all for 'volunteering' to be observed, poked at, and maybe even commented on! I'll try to keep names to myself but if I fail, I am sorry.

I'll end my post with a thought: "Eat right, exercise, die anyway. You choose." - Unknown
