Blog Stalkers? Curfews

Recently I have come across a few blogs that have complained about "blog stalkers, lurkers, snoops," really are you serious? What do you think is going to happen if you have a blog ON the internet? Just the people you know are going to look? Crazy! I have found many people I know through people I don't know. If these people are so concerned of people who they don't know go private, it is an option. So stop calling us curious onlookers names, it hurts our feelings.
My next observation came to me last Saturday when me and some friends (and husbands) went out to eat and were going to see a concert. The concert was rained out, so we went to the movie theater to see what was playing. The movie I wanted to see wasn't there, so we decided to go to Layton and see it there. We happened to be in Park City so by the time we got there it was around 9pm and the movie started at 9:50 and we discussed how long it was going to take and the babysitter situation and decided that we would be WAY PAST OUR CURFEW! Who knew that at 29 years old that one would still have a curfew. My curfew now is way more strict than the one my parents set for me. I now usually have be home by 10:30 at the latest--what? Yeah just an obseravation.

Exploring Utah

I always screw up and put the pictures in the wrong order. Anyhow, the second week of "exploring Utah" was visiting Antelope Island National Park. This is me being very nauseated from eating at Mcdonalds, and mixing it with Slimquick, not such a good combo. What is the draw to Antelope Island you ask, well so did I, and through these pics I will give you an idea...
By the way, the next park I go to will NOT have "National" in front of it; it will be Amusement, Water or City.

Me puking my guts out on the side of the road.
Driving around aimlessly what seemed like for hours looking for the elusive bison.
Ignore this one, there are NO dinosaurs in Antelope Island.

Watching an uninformative video about Antelope Island.
Scary spiders lurking above our heads. This is just one of many.
Sweating our little guts out in the hot, hot sun.
Burning my feet to numbness, in the hot, hot sand.

Beau and I have decided to start exploring the great state of Utah since we live here and all and have yet to do the many things there are to here. We started last Monday at the dinosaur park which I had been to only once and Beau never.
Luke was not so happy riding the baby brontosaurous.

Things I Love and things I HATE

I love Beau I love these people.

I love my diamonds earrings! Beau got me these for our 8th anniversary 4 on each side, how thoughtful. Seriously strongest man I know. Plus the dude can DO anything!
He can't deny these are his.

Summer time is such a great time for barbeques, swimming, planting, and playing outdoors...then comes the nighttime. When all the bad tv starts as well. I am hating all the new reality tv shows lately. I am a confessed reality tv junkie but this is, come on, crap! Let us just name a few: I survived a Japanese game show, Wipeout, Big Brother, America's got talent, American Gladiator, Nashville Star, Last Comic Standing, and I'm sure there is more but that is just on regular tv, I won't continue to list the cable channels. These shows are stupifiying us people! Who watches these things anyway? And what is with the "celebrity game shows" and they are always lame "celebrities" that no one cares about anyway. Whatevs.

Now moving on, my little dude Luke had a crazy ear infection with goo coming out so I took him to the doctor and he gave me 2 scripts (thats medical lingo) for ear drops and an antibiotic. So I go to Walgreens wait around with 2 kids running the isles and asking for a treat every 2 seconds and finally I am called to pay for my medicine. "It will be 196.00" Choke, cough, dry heave later, "Um what?" "It will be 196.00 dollars." So my insurance sucks and becomes another thing I hate. A necessary evil we pay every month and don't get much to show for it when it is in need. So to be fair the medicine was 150.00 dollars and I had a toy for Mia and a "treat" for me, some SlimQuick. Mexico's coming in 2 weeks I'm desperate. Don't judge me. So here's to you insurance-you suck! Next, moving on I love that we have a natural gas car. My pilot is about 70.00 bucks these days, the civic about 4.00. Yes that's $4.00! Not to shabby. So I would say I hate the gas prices, but it's more of love-hate relationship. I love my husband. He is a cool dude. I love that he just knows how to do stuff and fix stuff. I am always asking him "How do you know how to do that?" "I just do ok". Well ok. I love that he is organized and can handle stuff and doesn't freak out like me. I on the other hand, am not organized and I often freak out. I love my kids they are so fun to be around. I love when my kids go to bed with out whining or crying. I love sleeping in. I love staying up late with Beau and watching movies or recorded tv. Oh yeah I love my DVR! One more thing, I hate I feeling like I am letting the world pass me by most of the time by not engaging enough with my kids and taking the time to play and color and laugh and not be so serious and moody. So there you have it. Pictures of the loves of my life.
