December 16, 2010

(Sorry it's really late! Atleast I remembered to call them both!)

Hugh Jackman is the man!

This ad is on the TV all the time! I love it! It's a good laugh!

Here Ashley, Are you happy now?!?

So I was informed that because I had made a video of myself & Svenja in the Gold Coast I was a terrible friend that hadn't made one of Ashley & myself!

Here you go Ashley! Enjoy!

We No Speak Americano

I love this song! Taylor, Piper, Bella & myself have dance parties in the lounge room to this song!

Tori & Dean are back!!

Tori Spelling has her television series Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood, which I believe to be FABULOUS!! She is fabulous! I have watched about 80% of the Beverly Hills 90210, and love every moment she is on the big screen!

The new season of Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood has premiered in Australia. The “new” season here is either last season or the season before. So I may now be back TWO WHOLE seasons!!! What the heck?!? I don’t care though, because it’s Tori! I am just glad to have Tori, Dean, Liam, and Stella back! This may sound creepy yes, but I am willing to take that risk!

(I am hooked on Australian television. Some of the shows are fabulous; Tori & Dean are not part of Australian TV!)

6 Kids...I think not!

Recently, I have been caring for a ten month old baby and occasionally her two older sisters for a family in Sydney Australia. Although this experience is fabulous, as are the children, it has completely and totally changed my mind about having six little monsters, let alone stay at home with them all day!

If you can recall a precious blog post, A different Conversation, I was telling my mother how I wanted to just stay home and make babies and pie. Well, I am here to tell you that I have 47% changed my mind! Ha-ha yes, 47% as random as that is, it is the first number that popped into my head.

A recent conversation with Ashley was me saying I wouldn’t tell my husband about wanting six kids until oh the first or second year of marriage or when the sixth one popped out say oops! Oh well, we’re done! Ha-ha.

Note to readers: Don’t trap men by having their baby! Don’t need any baby mama drama!

(The babies in the photo are from the show Raising Sextuplets. Super cute kids!)

Dr Pepper Calling Dr Pepper

EMERGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT:

There is NO Dr Pepper in Aussralia.

This is the worst thing that has happened since the flood of "84
(I don't think there was a flood then, but not the point)

I was made aware to this fact by a certain Ashley B. Fastle.

If you see her please contact crime stoppers immediately of throw stones.

MESSAGE TO FIZZLE DIZZLE:

Send me some freaking Dr Pepper! I would even settle with the flavored lip balm!

Abandonment Issues

I have come to realize that I have pretty much abandoned my blog. I am wrapped up in the thrill of living in Sydney and updating my Aupair In Australia. I will find more to blog about soon!

(This is mainly for you Ashley Fastle! So stop bugging me to update it!)

Shuffle It Not

Ugh so the days before I leave for Syndey, my iPod will not charge. I have no idea what is wrong with it. I think it's the cord, so while in Great Falls, before I board the airplane, I stop and buy a new cord and wall charger. DOESN'T WORK...
WTF

So the shuffle it post did not happen. I was not able to listen to all the songs on my iPod from A-Z...

Sad Day

TWO DAYS

Less than two days until I fly down under!!

Yay so excited!!

Lord Make Me A Rainbow

Shuffe It

During my 26hr adventure to Sydney Australia, I have decided that I am going to listent to all the songs on my iPod from A to Z. Silly as this may seem, it is going to keep my mind off the passing hours. Hopefully this will make the time pass a little quicker.

1,115 songs, 2days, 23 hrs 19min 16 sec

Considering it is only a 26hr trip, it will be tricky!

New Blog

I started a new blog. It will be all about my adventures in Australia! I will post pictures and tell you all about my adventures while I am there! I am really exctied to get to Australia so I can begin sharing my adventures with everyone!! Enjoy!

I Need New Luggage..

I absolutely, positively need this luggage for my trip! I, along with many others, think it is adorable and would be perfect for a trip to Australia! On the up side, it is only $94.99 plus 2.95 shipping and handling.

Donations are greatly appreciated! lol

Number 40

I have made it to 40 blogs. I really dont know how this is significant in anyway, but I thought I would share! Many people I know have anywhere between 100 and 200 posts..ughmm Ashley and Brittany! Haha I need to find some things to blog about!!

Do's and Don't Of Childcare

I saw this on a blog where people in NY can turn in nannies/childcare providers. It's a hilarious blog where the women argue about who's right it is to blah blah blah...I got bored after reading the first couple of paragraphs. It was annoying. But on the up side I got this somewhat funny picture!

Australia Here I Come!!!

I am so so so excited!! Come the first week of September 2010 I will be on a jet plane traveling to the future! (Technically it is the future, cause they are one day ahead of us according to timezones and what not!) I will be going to Australia for 9 months as an Au-Pair. Which is a fancy name for nanny or babysitter! Haha But I am totally excited and can't wait!!

Wish Me Luck!!

I Really Like This Video!

Safe Driving

This video is so sad. Please slow down while you are driving. Not only is the speed these days, but it is TEXTING while driving. Stop doing it, I did and I'm a safer driver now because of it. You'll not only save yourself, but everyone around you.

Funniest Thing EVER!!!!

Mysteries of the Word

How string cheese gets so stringy.

Why God Takes your loved ones before your ready to say goodbye?

Why do boys make breaking hearts a recreational sport?

Why mother nature can be such a biatch?

Just a few things that I have been wondering lately. The string cheese one is legit. I even asked my sister and she told me that she had no freaking clue. So I shall now go to Google or better yet...Bing. Suck it Google, because you are surely being replaced. No not really, cause "Google it" sounds way better than "Bing it"

My Poor Poor Car

So Wednesday, June 30th, my best friend since first grade, Kadie and I decided to take a little drive in my beautiful car, Ruby. We started out towards Livingston, MT and stopped at Pamida, what we were looking for could not be found there. That place was a dump! Ewwy!! So then we get right back on I-90 West and venture towards bozeman.

While talking and laughing we notice the sky is getting darker. We keep going. So in the middle of construction, BOOM the powerline transformer BLOWS UP!!! What looks like a dust storm, quickly turns into rain which in turn mixes with some hail. No, not some hail, A TON of hail. So we get out of the construction and decide that we need to pull over. So right beore the N 7th Ave bypass, we pull over. Then quickly decide to get under it as soon as we are sure no one will hit us. The hail is beating against my car, and it is super LOUD!! Then we here a crack and I look forward and see that my windshield is destroyed. Finaly it ends and we get to Target where I call my mom again and she says to get to a glass shop. After finding the Glass Doctor, where we were told that it would be safe to drive home.

While we drove through Bozeman to go home, we see trees that have fallen over and other people's cars that have their whole windows broken out. We were really lucky and I know that someone was watching over us. The front window could have smashed through competely and really hurt us bad. So we were indeed very lucky.

So we cross through Bridger Pass and make it safely back to the Lucas Ranch, where it is also raining and my little 2 wheel drive car barely makes it through the mud. UGH!!!! So I finally make it to the garage and scream "Put me on a plane to Arizona NOW!!!" to anyonw who would listen.

My car can't get into the shop until Tuesday..I need my car fixed SOON!!! Please auto Gods get this done soon!!!

(Pictures will be taken of my poor baby soon.)

You never said "I'm leaving"
You never said goodbye
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knew why

A million times I needed you,
A million times I cried
If Love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died

In Life I loved you dearly
In death I love you still
In my heart you hold a place,
That no one could ever fill

It broke my heart to lose you,
But you didn't go alone
For part of me went with you,
The day God took you home.

RIP Uncle Bernie.
I love you with all my heart and will never forget you.

15 Reasons Boys Don't Suck...

1.For reasons science has not yet deduced, their hugs just work better.

2.Yes, they show off…but it’s all to impress you.

3.They’re not nearly as harsh with the criticizing of girls’ bodies as girls are on themselves and each other.

4.Without them, would we have the word “gnarly”? It’s doubtful!

5.When they see “Boy’s suck” T-shirts and message board threads, it breaks there tender boy hearts.

6. Have you ever watched a boy watching a girl rummage through her purse? That wide-eyed, mystified look they get?!?

7.Uh, Robert Pattinson!!!

8.You can borrow their hoodies that smell like boy + dryer sheets.

9.If there’s some pain in the butt thing to carry or open or fix or reach, they’ll do it.

10.They have brains and they learn

11. If you give them a safe way to express their emotions—a way that they won’t get yelled at or beat up—they usually will.

12.Taylor Lautner..Duh!

13.The part where their hair ends at the nape of their neck, when it’s cut short, fells like a puppy dog.

14.They can buy you Tiffany’s and then propose in the most romantic way ever!

15.At the end of the day, alls they really want is for someone to love, just like you.

IKEA Sale time!!!

Ashley and I believe that the new commercial with the woman driving the truck into the front lawn is totally me and I really wanted to use that one, but I could not find it... which is totally a bummer...

EIGHT DAYS!!!

EIGHT DAYS UNTIL THE PREMEIRE!!! I WILL MOST DEFINATELY BE THERE WITH THE GAGGLE OF GIRLS I CALL MY BEST FRIENDS!!!

Kissy Kissy Smoochy Smooch!!

As I was laying on my couch watching Brothers & Sisters, a commercial came on and a loud CRACK of lightning lit up the room followe by a rolling thunderous ROAR!! The rain kept coming, but now it was heavier, louder, and it suddenly made me think of...

Kissing in the rain.
There are famous kisses, common kisses, songs about kisses, sweet kisses, terrible kisses, first kisses, last kisses, and kisses in rainstorms.

I thought of all the romantic scenes in movies where the protagonist grabs his lady and spins her around as she is about to walk away and ever so passionately kisses her like she's never been kissed!!

Oh and you can't forget the "I've missed you so much I have to throw down my suitcases and run into your arms" kisses or "I've made a mistake and I love you so much and whatever just happened will never happen again!!" kisses!!

Haha this began semi-romantic then suddently turned synical and sarcastic and that wasn't even my goal..

Moral: Every girl wants her perfect kiss in the rain!

The OC (Spiderman Original); Breakfast At Tiffany's; The Notebook

Funny Story:

Many people will think the world’s most famous kiss was captured on film in New York City. This famous kiss photo was taken on V-J Day in Times Square. The photo was plastered all over newspapers and was seen as a symbol of a new era of peace, love and hope. The truth of the matter was that this soldier was kissing every woman in the square and this nurse in particular slapped the sailor.

For My Daddy!

He was there when I was born,

He was there to put a band-aid on my scraped knee,

He was there teaching me how to cowgirl up,

He was there on my first and last day of school,

He was there for my first broken heart,

He was there in the rear view mirror as I left for college,

He will be there to walk me down the aisle,

He will be there to welcome my children into the world,

He will be there forever and always,

He will always be my one and only,

He will always be my daddy!

I LOVE YOU DAD!!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!

(We look really dorky in this picture!)

Fashionista

I love all the looks in Sex and the City.

The movie has been on HBO for like days on end so that is what I have been obsesively watching!

In the sequal, Carrie had so many outfits, it meant an outfit change every 3 minutes in the movie. EVERY THREE MINUTES!!!

Jobless and Bored!

I have yet to find a job. I have applied, interviewed, and have waited for phone calls confirming a job. I have heard "We'll call you buy the end of the week" so many effing times its ridiculous! I want that muhla to start flowing into my bank account again! I miss shopping sprees and road trips where money was a far away thought! A subconcious memory.

I hate having to be an adult.

Crap

A different kind of conversation

My mother and I were talking the other day while she was cooking dinner. I was watching and decided that I would bring up the topic that had been on my mind for quite some time now.

Being a stay at home mom.

This conversation went alot better than I had expected!

I told her that when I was married and I thought I was pretty well set up, then I would want to be a stay at home mom/wife. She was pretty much flabergasted at first, but then came to the realization that I had pretty much already made up my mind!

She then continued to ask me if I wanted a lot of kids and I confidently said yes. Well how many she said. Oh I dont know, maybe five or six! I have their names already made into an acronym!

That's where that conversation ended and the acronym is still unknow to her...

H.A.M.P.E.R

T.A.M.P.E.R

Why Do I Do This?

Why do I study all hours of the night?

Why do I put up such a fight?

I do it because one day I will celebrate new baby born.

And, one day help a family mourn.

It makes me have courage and determination.

It teaches me how to handle my dissatisfaction.

Some people will curse or bless you.

But every day they will teach you something new.

That is why I study all nght.

And, why I put us such a fight.Because one day, a Nurse I will be.

To help people like you and me.
