It seems like I have to either take a picture or I receive a picture every day with my cell phone. Hell, my phone has a tag line of Take A Picture!(Not anymore with my BB) Some are quite interesting(at least to myself) and I thought I'd share them along with their stories whenever possible.
I love ice cream. I love it plain, I love it topped. Butter pecan, smore's, vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, praline pecan, fudge ripple, peanut butter, cookies n cream, caramel, cherry chocolate chip and so many more that I can't name. Sometimes I'll eat mint chocolate chip just because I got to have ice cream. I love it full fat, 1/2 fat, no sugar added, sorbet, sherbert, gelato and fro yo. Simply put I love it.
What I don't like is the waiting. The waiting for the ice cream to hit the perfect temperature where it is still semi solid but melty enough to be a little runny. This texture can only be achieved by patiently waiting with your hands around the bowl. The rub lies in the fact that you have to stare at the wonderful stuff as you try and remain hands off. Whatever you do, don't rush it. Don't think for a second that you can put it in the microwave and heat it up so you can eat your cool creamy treat faster. It's not the same and quite honestly microwaving it ruins it. Don't do it! Wait and you will reap the rewards. The reward of the perfect bowl of ice cream.
Now that I've waited as I typed this post on up, I'm off to enjoy me some cookies n cream. Yeah.....
All of my nephews are just so dang adorable. They say the best things. They look like the cutest person ever. They do the funniest stuff. I wonder if, if I ever get one, my nieces would be so cute.
This gem comes from Nathan. I personally think it's the best "love" note I've ever read. I wish I was Amy. I sure hope where ever Amy is that she feels loved.
I'm not a fan of change. For the most part. Yeah, some things are easier for me accept than others so I can't say I totally don't like change. I like what I'm used to and what I'm used to is The Greek Pizza.
I went to California Pizza Kitchen for lunch today. I believe in all the times I've ever gone I've always gotten The Greek Pizza. I love it. The feta! The cucumber sauce! The avocado! Love, love, love. When I eat it I silently sing Everlasting Love in my head. But today is the day I tried something new.
It was so very difficult to choose another type. There are so many good sounding ones that my thought is since I can't choose, stick with the greek. But I was determined to change. I narrowed it down to 4 other choices; wild mushroom, chipotle chicken, roasted garlic and chicken and lastly, white pizza. When it was my turn to give my order, I froze.
Once I thawed I ordered the chipotle chicken on a thin crust. It was good. I missed the greek but chipotle chicken, pretty tasty. And I love the thin crust. Wow! All in all pretty happy with it.
I also tried a new dessert. Tiramasu. Pretty good. Not a very strong coffee flavor so I could handle it. A delicious rum flavor though. Yum yum yum.
I'm glad I tried something new.

I feel like I should post this here instead of on facebook. Why? I wouldn't want my friends of leisure to think I was obsessed to the point of delirium. Obviously if you are reading this then you know you are a close friend who would love me regardless of how obsessed I was with something. Thanks guys! You rule, the school. And the pool. And the fool. Let's get to it.
I love this clip. Everything about it. I smile, sheepishly at points, nearly during the whole clip. Yet I'm also very saddened in the middle. Imagine what it would be like to be that old. Strange and sad. Watch it then read the rest of this post.
Now you can see why I like it so much! Here are just a few of my favorite parts.
I can feel the cheese when he says "Gandalf. A space Gandalf. Or the little green one in Star Wars." What really, really sells the cheese factor is the light saber sounds he makes in conjuction with the twirl. Just pure golden cheese and I love it!
The next part would be "the involuntary snort....of fondness." They play off each other so well. I giggle during that entire exchange.
Then we get the more serious and sad part. "Because I can't see it anymore." I would probably recite his whole spiel of "burning ball of gas" and so forth but I think it's just better if you watch it. Over and over again. Why not? Don't make me be the only one. I hate being the lone ranger here. Let it be known though that I want his "backyard". Don't be dirty people.
Then we move back into comic relief with a little bit about who his companions are. I love the way he stalls when he is forced to answer how many of them were girls. "Slightly, a little bit over." Biggest understatement if I've ever heard one before! It's just too bad that to the casual observer(meaning you) you would never know that he has had male companions before they just don't show them in the clip parade that follows. Captian Jack, I've only seen a few episodes with you but you do seem pretty cool!
Now aren't you glad you watched it? I guess I need to end this post before I quote the entire clip. "Young?" "Everyone's young compared to me." Only 4 more sleeps before I get a new episode. Good night!
I know I ate my weight in pasta and chicken. I know I ate that pasta and chicken after going 11 hours without eating. If you, dear body, could find it in your heart to forgive me I'd be very appreciative.

Today I was to run in the Ogden marathon. While I started and prepped for it, I only made it 9 miles before I asked for a ride to the finish.
My only reasoning would be that I never had a good clear mental image of myself finishing. I had many constraints that were making me nervous and anxious about it. The biggest being able to get to mile 17.3 before 4:30hrs. Of course that goes in hand with the fact that I've yet to develop speed. I barely maintain a 16 minute mile on a 3 mile run. So add not enough training to this list of constraints.
And for some reason being the last racer affected me this time. I've been last in numerous of races. That is not new to me. I can only assume that with such a long race that I just couldn't bear being the last. I didn't like that at an aid station they had gotten rid of all the liquids and I'd have to go 2 more miles for any. I panicked. I went the 2 miles but my performance decreased way too much. I didn't want to do it anymore.
Of course I'm going to do another one now though. I'll work on my training and get faster. But my heart is disappointed, as it should be, that I bowed out. I know that I'll always think of this race on all my others and that will help carry me through. Yet I'm extremely happy that those near and dear carried on without me and did a wonderful job. I'm jealous of you all.
But at least I got a new hair cut!!
