I WAS HOPING TO HAVE THE REAL ANSWERS TO THESE, where I say the weirdest most embarrassing things when awakening from being under. Since that wasn’t a possibility, I’ll just answer them while under the influence of painkillers. I figure the answers will be similar since I have no self shame anyway.

Kamie’s Questions:

*If you could go on a vacay now, where would you go?
Yellowstone, or Zions. Those are my two favorite places to be.
*Jacob? Really?
Right now, I’d take anyone that would love and take care of me. Edward likes to leave, so yes, Jacob.
*What would you like to be when you grow up?
Silly enough. . .an author of romance and fantasy books. Now please excuse me while I go hide and act like I never admitted that!
*What are one of your hopes and dreams?
To succeed. I know that’s lame, but I want to succeed at life, being a good mom and wife and good at everything else I listed on my other post, I Wish.
*Name a trait that makes you, YOU.
My tongue. Whenever I’m focusing, I always have to have my tongue sticking out. It’s a habit I’ve had my whole life and I never realize that I do it.
*What are you looking forward to?
My mouth not hurting.
*What is your favorite movie?
Twilight. The Notebook. 27 Dresses. Oh wait, did you say “Movie” and not “Movies”? Oops.
*What word do you say most often?
Haha. Oh. Uhhh.
*Worst feeling in the world?
Getting my tonsils taken out. Yes, it was even worse than this pesky wisdom tooth removal.
*Best feeling in the world?
When I succeed at something.
*What is under your bed?
Boxes of old school projects, summer clothes and folded blankets.
*3 thoughts that you have at this moment?
These question posts are fun.
Pudding tastes good.
I wish I could smile.
*What was your last purchase?
Ice cream, popsicles, gatorades, four packs of pudding and some jello.
*What are you worried about right now?
Not feeling well enough to go to work.
*Where is your favorite place to be?
Yellowstone.
*Can you whistle?
In general, yes. Right now, no.
*What was the last thing that made you laugh?
Dale laughing at my chipmunk cheeks.
*What was the first you thought when you woke up?
That I hate pain.
*Name one person who can make you smile.
Kamie!!!
*Name a pet peeve.
When people file their nails and I’m in the same room.
*Something that annoys you the most.
When someone complains about their life but does nothing to change it. I admit, I do this a lot too.
*Your best friend tells you she is pregnant. What is your reaction?
I’m happy for her and tell her so. Then I sit and let her vent about how it’s so hard to be pregnant, while I silently bite my tongue because I’m not even married yet.
*When is the last time you wanted to punch someone in the face?
Yesterday, when Machelle was throwing me every curse word in the book.
*Congratulations! You just had a daughter. What’s her name?
I haven’t even thought about that! I wouldn’t know what to name a girl.
*Congratulations! You just had a son. What’s his name?
Preston.
*What are you craving right now?
Texas Roadhouse rolls – what else?!
*What was the last thing you cried about?
I cried when I got home on Monday, I think it was just an after effect of the anestesia.
*What was the last voicemail you received about?
It’s still sitting in my phone, unopened so I’m not quite sure. Probably mom, telling me she’s either late or on her way over.
*Scariest thing you’ve experienced in the last year?
Moving out on my own. I am a wuss.
*What kind of car do you want?
Mazda 6. I’ve had an obsession with them ever since I saw them. I call it my “affordable dream car”.
*What is your favorite key on your key chain?
The one that lets me into my car, since my car is my freedom.
*What is your favorite aisle at Target?
The home organization aisles. I love looking at planners, notebooks, pens, pencils…even if I never use those when I buy them!
*Is there anything hanging from your rear view mirror?
My high school graduation tassle. I always think “I should take that down, I hate that thing”, but then I catch myself and everyone else touching it so it just stays there.
*What are you going to do after this?
Pick up more pills. Thrilling, I know.
*Do you like the color green?
I don’t wear the color green very often, but I love the look of Forest Green. I have a green bedspread.
*How many hours did you sleep for last night?
The most I have in a while – 10 whole hours.
*Do you think someone is thinking about you right now?
Yes, because they are wondering when I’ll quit complaining. No actually, I have a lot of sweet friends and family that keep asking if they can get me anything. Loves!
*Have you ever changed your clothes while in a vehicle?
A few times, yes. I always change shoes in my car. I wear heels to work but I drive in flip flops. I’ve changed clothes when I’m running late and don’t want to bother stopping and going in somewhere.
*What were you doing at midnight last night?
Talking to you (Kamie) online, and wondering when I’d be able to go to sleep.
*Have you ever tampered with someone’s food?
Yes, with Machelles. There was one time when we were little, we were both sitting on the couch. She had a big, heaping plate of pancakes and I was teasing her that I was going to drop a fluff ball (for lack of a better word) from one of the trees into her food. Well…I accidentally let go, and the fluff floated down right into her syrup. She still hasn’t forgiven me.
*What time is your alarm clock set for?
6:00AM. I don’t go to work until 8:00AM. That leaves me an hour to hit snooze and an hour to get ready.
*What CD is currently in your CD player?
Breaking Benjamin, Shedaisy, and some random mix CD from high school years.
*Has anyone told you a secret this week?
Yup, and no, I’m not telling (probably because I’ve already forgotten it)
*Last time you had butterflies in your stomach?
The usual – reading an LDS romance novel.
*What one thing do you wish you had?
More patience.
*Favorite lyrics?
I have way too many to choose from. I like 100 Years by Five for Fighting, I Wish by Point of Grace, any Shedaisy lyrics, Taylor Swift, Breaking Benjamin, Trapt…I guess this more correctly answers “what’s your favorite music” and not lyrics. Sorry.

ASHLEY AND NIEL BROUGHT OVER THEIR KIDS last weekend for an Easter Egg hunt. This means we got to hide the eggs and watch three children scramble in chaos to get to them first. We fully expect to keep finding eggs  in the near future that weren’t discovered by their stubby little hands. Last year, it was the egg in the tree that mom and dad found six months later (mom, what was even in that thing?!).  This year, it was the egg I hid in the cat food bowl. We like to think of it as little surprises for ourselves. I just hope that the ones we find later on are the ones Ashley the Easter Bunny filled with dollar bills.

Meet the Contestants:

Aspen

I loved watching Aspen find her first egg…and it got even better when she figured out that if you squeeze really really hard, candy pops out.

Abby

All I want for Christmas is for her to KEEP missing her two front teeth. They’re adorable.

This is by far my favorite picture of Abby. Look how happy and proud she is of her clutch. And look at Aspen in the background, checking out her butt! Just teasing, that’s her way of saying “Dude,  I got your back, just in case Jake comes to shove you down for that egg”.

Jake

I think someone is going to be a major heart breaker later on in life.

Let the games begin!

No. They are not fighting over a pole. They are competing for the egg sitting on the top, but neither could climb it. So I lifted them up, and the egg was stuck. Epic fail.

Speaking of Epic Fail…Um…This is only one out of the five times that this happened. Eventually Ashley told Jake to play nice and he left to find other eggs, which meant Abby scored big time on the loot he overlooked.

Diggin the grass stains on Jake’s knee. It got pretty vicious.

And finally, the coordinators of this olympic event, my Momma and big/best sister Ashley.

PS: Mom wants me to tell everyone that her coat looks like a marshmallow.

I think it’s rather cute.

Machelle told her that its a marshmallow coat and now she won’t wear it as much, which is still better than the time I told her a necklace she bought looked like a witch necklace and she won’t wear it at all.

Mom, wear the necklace. It’s beautiful.

PPS: Ash, I stole the smarties as payment for the pictures, and they were delicious. Just thought I’d let you know.
