So we all sat down to watch and we enjoyed the benefit of being able to fast forward and rewind.  We must of rewound a lot because when we got to best actor the recording ended and we did not get to see the rest since it was over.

YES, I MISSED THE BEST PART OF THE OSCARS!!!!  I MISSED SANDRA BULLOCK WINNING AND THE HURT LOCKER BEATING OUT AVATAR (thank goodness!  Avatar was pretty cool but the story line was not original and the tribe was African not alien.).

Of course I am writing a strongly worded written letter to my cable provider to let them know that when you DVR a show it should record the whole show not just when it was scheduled to end.  Everyone knows the Oscars go over the planned time, right?  It is the reason that the producers of the Oscars shut the microphone off after giving each winner about 15 seconds to speak.  They might as well put in a trap door; it would be just as humiliating as turning off the mic and blasting some music at them to get them off stage.

So, the party was fun, I won for the most guessed right, and my friends are great and were good sports about missing the end.

Happy Oscars everyone!

In high school I was like “Yeah, I am just one of the guys, they just tease me and push me around because they like me.  I just don’t get along with girls but that’s ok I prefer to hang out with guys anyways.”**  This is a stupid phase.  One of my biggest regrets in high school is not hanging out with my girlfriends more because I was too worried about getting the guys to like me; which they never did by the way.  I think the trying too hard completely backfired.  I allowed myself to be treated horribly by guys because I was raised thinking that if a guy treats you badly that means he likes you.  Ummm…..NO!   It means he will treat you like crap, have absolutely no respect for you and then go for the girl who won’t give him the time of day.  I’m glad I can look back and laugh and hopefully I will be able to pass my wisdom down to my kids.  Yeah, I know, I won’t hold my breath.

One phase during my 20′s was that I wanted really close girlfriends because let’s face it, we all want amazing girlfriends like the girls on Sex and the City.  Admit it or not we would love to meet once a week for an amazing dinner or breakfast and gossip about stupid girl crap and get the chemical high from our brains.  (I can’t remember which chemical but I love it!***)

I remember the time in my mid 20′s I finally became comfortable in my own skin.  I stopped wearing a padded bra and embraced my small boobs.  That was a pretty big deal for me.  hahahaha.

And as you know I received my brain when I turned 30 and I am loving it!  A brain provides comfort, wisdom, stability, rationality, actual confidence and gets rid of a lot of insecurities and petty behaviors.  I have accepted my Utah accent and actually like it; I also have some great girlfriends.  And as you  continue to get older you don’t have time for silly crap, which is nice.

I realize I am rambling and doing a horrible job grammar wise but I am in my 30′s and I just don’t care  if you are analyzing this post.

So the phase I am in now is motherhood mixed with this new organic/buy-local/gardening/free range thing.  I ordered my organic heirloom seeds and the square foot gardening book.  I am well on my way to becoming the “do it all soccer mom while secretly taking speed”.  (Crossing my fingers.)

See ya, don’t wanna be ya.

**If  are a woman and you have noticed that throughout your life you do not get along with other women then you have a problem.  It is not the other women’s problem.  All women need other women to provide strength and comfort.  You need to look inward to figure out what’s going on there.

***looking forward to Michelle’s birthday party tomorrow night!

I am so lucky.  I have many people in my life that fit this description.  I am sending my love out to you all; I hope you feel it.  Thanks for seeing me and loving me.  I thank God for you everyday.  Seriously I do.

You know that you have a good friend when you are going out and you don’t have to worry about what you are wearing or what you look like and then you laugh and laugh and laugh because you can tell them anything in the world and they still love you.

Love to you my people..

Happy Thanksgiving!

I went to California and spent the day at Disneyland yesterday, then woke up this morning to 85 degree weather and 3 chocolate croissants.  It was wonderful.

Here are some pictures from my work Halloween party.  It was such a fun day.
