Taggy-Taggerton
1. What is your current obsession?
NetFlix
2. What do you hate the most that everyone else seems to love?
Chewing on tin foil. Flossing with yarn.
3. What are you wearing today?
I'm in bed, so not much.
4. What's for dinner?
it's 3:00 in the morning! How should I know?
5. What would you eat for your last meal?
A delicious filet cooked medium with roasted potatoes on the side, roasted veggies and some kind of dessert that included chocolate and whipped cream.
(I copied and pasted that answer directly from my sister, Emily ... except I added "whipped cream" instead of her caramel.) I'd maybe add some kind of gravy, too.
6. What is the last thing you bought?
Floss, ACT flouride rinse and 3 bags of candy. Ironic, I know.
7. What are you listening to right now?
Taylor just woke up, asked me if I could take Henry to scout camp in the morning, and then he promptly fell back asleep. And ... he's snoring. I love that guy.
8. What do you think of the person that tagged you?
She is smart and funny and organized and a fun, creative mom. And she has great style and really thick hair that hung down to her bum when she was a little girl and I shared a bedroom with her. I miss her. She lives on the opposite side of the country.
9. If you could have a house--fully paid for and totally furnished--anywhere in the world, where would it be?
Right down the road from where I am now.
10. If you could go anywhere in the world for the next hour, where would it be?
You mean besides my temperpedic bed? No where.
11. What is one of your hobbies?
Giving smart-a** answers when I've been tagged.
12. What is ONE of your favorite quotes?
"Cleaning the house while the kids are still growing is like shoveling snow while it is still snowing."
13. What is your favorite color?
Red. Definitely red. Fire engine red.
14. What is your favorite piece of clothing in your wardrobe?
At my current weight I need a new wardrobe. Can I say my summer Croc sandals are my favorite? They still fit.
15. What is your dream job?
Delivering to people things that make them happy. Flowers? Candy? Love notes?
16. Describe your personal style.
N/A
17. What is your favorite tree?
One with lots of thick branches low to the ground for climbing. And it blossoms beautifully in the spring. And winter. And fall. (Does it have to be a real tree?)
18. What are you going to do after this?
Sleep.
19. What is your favorite fruit?
Berries. Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries... in that order.
20. What inspires you?
The Holy Ghost. :)
21. Who was the last person that you kissed?
Taylor gave me a big smooch in the parking lot of Red Robin in front of the kids just to make them uncomfortable. And because he loves me.
22. What are you currently reading?
Just finished Leadership and Self-Deception: Getting Out of the Box by The Arbinger Institute. Tomorrow I will start The Friday Night Knitting Club.
23. Go to your bookshelf, take down the first book that you see with a red binding, turn to page 26 and type out the first line.
For someone who is under the covers in bed, that sounds like way too much effort.
24. What delighted you the most today?
Waverly pretended to sneeze in the restaurant while eating dinner to demonstrate how Alice always says "Bless you"... but a waitress happened to pass behind her just as it happened and beat Alice to the punch.
25. By what criteria do you judge a person?
"The content of his/her character." And whether they think I'm cool or not.
26. If you bought a wiener dog today, what would you name it?
Fred. Unless its a girl.
27. What are you afraid of?
Dropping my sandal in the toilet of a public rest room when I use my foot to flush.
The rules:
1. Respond and rework; answer the questions on your blog, replace one question you dislike with a question of your invention, add one more question of your own. (I didn't replace any. Oops!)
2. Tag eight other people.

Can I Just Say...
...I love my book club. If reading does for the brain what exercise does for the body, then I would have to add that my book club gives me a great workout every month! Not to mention they save my a fortune in therapy bills! Thanks, ladies!
And if you need a book that will impact the way you interact in every relationship you have for the better, you simply must read Leadership and Self-Deception: Getting Out of the Box by The Arbinger Institute. It's not great literature, but it is a quick read that just may change your life. (I promise I'm not being paid to say that, but if someone wants to pay me for saying it ... I'm open to that.)
Next month's book? The Friday Night Knitting Club.
And just for the record, I have earned the maximum number of gold stars thus awarded in our book club. I'm a SUPERSTAR!

I am a Net Flix virgin
Thanks to my mom and dad, I am the newest subscriber to Net Flix! Thanks for the fun birthday gift, Mo and Dad! I love it. I'm expecting my first 2 selections tomorrow: The Three Amigos and a X-Files movie (Taylor's request). However, my "queue" ends there. I am suddenly at a total loss...
What should I order? What have you watched that you would recommend?
Carrie and Abby, what was the name of the documentary you loved so much?
Suggestions welcome!

The Wasatch Back Ragnar Relay: What, When, Where, With Whom, and WHY?!
What?
The Wasatch Back Ragnar Relay (188 mile relay race)
The Wasatch Back Ragnar Relay (188 mile relay race)
When and Where?
Yesterday, all night and all today in the back mountains of Utah.
With Whom?
12 team mates all together, but 6 of us riding together in one van. The five I was with happen to be the most funny, caring, supportive, responsible, and creative ladies on the planet.Kristyn: The newbie with determination and a big heart (and a bag of to-die-for Skittles and a shared love for chocolate Twizzlers).
Jill: The loving, funky friend with wisdom beyond her years who embraces her own tremendous capabilities and potential.
Kelly: The best friend anyone could have. (And the one who sprained her ankle and insisted on still running 10 more miles!) And she let me cry on her shoulder after my 8-mile, up-hill leg-from-hell in the middle of night.
Erin: Our fearless, organized and prepared leader who would do anything for anyone at any moment. And she has the cutest running skirts!
Chelle: Our calm, balanced, wise yogi who let us use her pretty new van with hi-tech beeps and gadgets. And one of the few who were daring enough to wear the prosthetic "bum" while running.
Why?
To have an adventure of a lifetime... one that makes you laugh, cry, cheer, shout for joy, cry in pain and fatigue, sleep on the lawn of a high school in nothing but a sleeping bag, become well-acquainted with port-o-potties, and become forever friends with the people you're doing all of this with... all within a 24 hour period.

Sporting Events in Utah
These two look like they're related or something.
Waverly is loving "girl time" with Mo and her aunts. Even if it is while watching "boring baseball".
We went to a SLC Bees baseball game with the fam.
Is there anything more "wrong" than spun sugar? Oscar would disagree.
Alice loves bowling... almost to a fault. She cried every time it wasn't her turn. Could those little bowling shoes be any cuter? Where can I buy some of those?
Amy bowls really well... even in a skirt and flip flops! Would you LOOk at that form?!
I'll be "offline" for a couple of days. Tomorrow I will be running the Wasatch Back Relay with 23 other crazy Marathon Mommies! Wish us luck!

Thank you, family, for a terrific birthday!
Breakfast in bed at Mo and Papa's
My gift from Taylor: my very own netbook!
I LOVE this thing!! Best _ Gift _ Ever.
Party with the FAM! Russian Chicken, brocolli and rice (albeit brown): My favorite birthday dinner from my childhood. Also, strawberries from Oregon, yummy salad, and Carrie's refreshing berry lemonade!
PARTY!
Waverly was the DJ.
Thank you all for such a special and memorable day!
