50 Things About Me

Kristal, this is for you and the fact that I'm bored at work, so maybe someone will learn something new about me if you make it through all 50:
1. I am going to Tucson April 17-20th!!
2. I have never used my snooze button - and hopefully I won't offend anyone, but I don't see the point in setting your alarm X (i.e.30+) mins earlier, just to hit your snooze button.
3. I can pop my hip (like some people crack their toes or whatever) pretty much at will
4. I'm addicted to reality tv: Biggest Loser, American Idol, Amazing Race, The Girls Next Door, Dancing with The Stars, So You Think You Can Dance, The Bachelor, Dr. 90210 just to name a few
5. I HATE to touch raw meat!
6. I love to get my hair done, and will change my hair color every 8-10 weeks
7. I would love to go with Kristal for some plastic surgery after having kids (Dr. Ray's??)
8. Vacuuming is one chore I don't mind - I love to see the lines on the carpet
9. I eat dessert every day, I especially cannot pass up freshly baked cookies - this is why I work out 6 days a week!
10. I've been to atleast 17 concerts: BSB- 4, 98-1, Toby Keith-2, Tim & Faith-2, Rascal Flatts-3, Brad Paisley-2, and just Tim- 3-4 and I would have gone to Maroon 5 last Oct, but they canceled
11. I love frog eye salad - but only Janet Helland's recipe!
12. I hate when people ask for your opinion or input and then totally disregard it, why did they even ask in the first place!
13. I tend to yell at other drivers a lot, because I think there are a lot of stupid drivers!
14. There are days when I miss doing the dental thing: there's nothing like seeing someones reaction after you've changed their smile (for the better) and seeing their whole personality change because they have a beautiful smile - also I miss a good gum graft.
15. I can name more English Premier League players than NFL and MLB for sure - and possibly even NBA players
16. I have a life size cut out of Stider from Lord of the Rings, aka Viggo Morgenson in my room, and I cannot make myself throw it away, so it's taped to the back of my door
17. Awhile back my brother caught me practicing/playing Guitar Hero one morning, and everyone in my family thought this was so funny, because I was anti- GH when it came out. But now that I've gotten the hang of it, I love playing GH and Rock Band
18. I don't really like to drink water, but I make myself drink 2 water bottle's worth before I can have a diet coke or something else.
19. I love mixing my own drink - lots of ice and then 2/3 diet coke, 1/3 coke.
20. My hair gets so oily - I have to wash it everyday, otherwise it gets so nasty
21. I willingly go in every 4 weeks for my "affirm" appt, which is the most painful 45 mins. that I've ever experienced- and I just keep going in for more. . . .
22. About 2 months ago I started toeat cottage cheese with some kind of fruit 3-4 times a week, before that I could barely gag it down
23. I cannot wait for my birthday - I finally get to go to The Cheesecake Factory!
24. When I made the change from Midvale Family Dental to Watts the one thing that made me nearly turn down the job at Watts, was the fact that I would no longer get to watch Keegan on Thursdays. I loved watching him, but I knew Watts was good job choice.
25. Here's a poor me moment: In 2004 when I went to Europe for two weeks, my boytoy ran into an "old friend" and then went on to date both of us ( I had no idea) for the next 5 months until he finally broke up with me to date her exclusively. They were married less than 8 months later.
26. Movies that I really don't like, which most people would consider classics: Wizard of Oz, The Princess Bride and A Christmas Story.
27. I have never seen: Casablanca or It's a Wonderful Life, which I've heard are both classics too
28. I still have my original drivers license from while I turned 16, I have to go get a new one before the 18th!
29. I've never been skiing or snowboarding
30. My uncle has been in the ICU for 23 days - I haven't been to visit once, I'm a terrible niece, but I just hate to see people sick, when they don't even look like themselves.
31. Another thing that bugs is when someone will ask me to do something and then after I do it - they fix or re-do it. Why didn't they just do it themselves in the first place then, right?!
32. I got to see Les Miserables in London the The Globe Theatre (I think that's what it's called)
33. When Kristal and I used to work at Party Time we would get so annoyed by another co-worker because she smacked her gum so loud! So we would try to smack our gum even louder, but she never seemed to notcie. To this day it still bugs when people smack their gum, or if they chew their food obnoxiously loud.
34. I could have a cup of hot chocolate everyday - all year 'round, not matter what the temperature outside was
35. I hate clowns!! They just freak me out.
36. Jon and I can hold a conversation just by quoting movies/tv shows (especially Friends)
37. I like to cook, but I just don't think that it's fair for the cook to have to do the dishes too.
38. I've been to Island Park and Yellowstone more than a dozen times- every August my family goes up and we always stay in the same camp sites and I've only missed a few years.
39. My only reason for not being a huge fan of camping like everyone else in my family, is I hate not washing my hair and bathing - and it's just not same in a trailer or in the river
40. I hate laying out - I've tried to become a fan, but I just think it's so boring to lay there and do nothing, while I'm smoldering in the heat and sweating
41. I go to People.com daily- I love celebrity gossip!
42. This has taken my about 3.5 hours, because I'll do a few then work a little
43. 2 years ago for my birthday, my dad gave me a Fender acoustic guitar and I still don't know how to play. I'm just not motivated to teach myself - I need to have a teacher or atleast a schedule for myself to sit down and learn, because I look at the guitar everyday and feel guilty for having it and not using it.
44. I have the smartest nephew. He is so cute doing sign language- my favorites: pig, kangaroo, silly and motorcycle and he is so good at his numbers and alphabet already.
45. The clothes in my closet all have to face the same way - towards the back
46. I sucked my thumb until I was probably 7-8 yrs. My mom even tried to put some nasty medication on my thumb to get me to stop, but I just coped with the nastiness
47. I'll be in sunny Mexico next month at this time - hopefully snorkeling or doing something on the beach.
48. Last year when we went on our cruise, one stop was Jamaica and my dad, Jon and I went on a tubbing excursion with a native, Utahn (appropriate for us, right!) and during our entire trip down the river all he did was flirt with me and try to convince my dad that I should stay in Jamaica with him! It was so funny, plus there was another native that tried to get Jon to buy their "special" cigarettes.
49. If I didn't live in Utah, I'd go for So. Cal, if I could afford it or somewhere totally crazy like England.
Ok - I saved a great story for last -
50. A few years ago when Josh and Nikki were getting sealing in the San Diego Temple, I was suppose to meet them at the temple, since I couldn't go with them. So they left me one of the rental cars but no phones - and for some reason I didn't even take my cell phone to CA this trip. So I proceed to drive to the temple following what instructions I was told - after driving what seemed like way to long, I see a sign reading something like: Border - XX miles. I was close! I couldn't believe that I had missed the temple. So I have to ask for directions from people that don't know what a temple is and barely speak English. Needless to say, I had to stop again a little while longer and get more directions, this time from very nice business men that were sympathetic to a teary lost tourist. Turns out I missed the turn off for the right freeway - I eventually made it to the temple (Nikki says that I was like 2.5 hours late) everyone was starving, because we were suppose to go to lunch after the sealing and everyone, but me had a good laugh at my near Tijuana experience!

That was harder than I thought it would be - anyone that wants to do this - go for it! I'd love to hear new and/or interesting things about everyone!
