NEED I SAY MORE!!! The above link will take you to the Twilight Trailer "Teaser"!! it's like barely a minute long but if you play it over and over again, it can be like oh...10 minutes long or something like that :) needless to say, I have played it over and over!! I can't get enough of it! His accent, his hair, his smile at the end before he flies out into the woods!!! And Emmett's voice!! These guys are to die for! The special affects are amazing! December can NOT come soon enough! I am seriously beyong excitement to see this movie...I knew they were going to make a great movie but THIS! is going to be beyond our expectations! Simply amazing!!! It makes my heart go "THUD THUD" out of my chest!!...or does HE make my heart go "THUD THUD" ;) p.s. the OME!!! stand for - OH MY EDWARD!! just in case you didn't know ;)

I am on STRIKE!!!

That's right...you heard me...I am on STRIKE! I am done with watching anything on CBS. CBS for the 2nd time have said they will be cancelling a show called JERICHO (Skeet=HAWT!!). I LOVE THIS SHOW!! It is the best show out there...if you haven't seen...GO SEE IT...unfortunantly that would mean you have to go to CBS.com to watch the episodes...so go see it already ;) That also means I will be missing out on some of my favorite shows like, The UNIT (HAWTIES!), CSI (Nick=HAWT), NCIS (Agent DiNozzo=HAWT). So as you can see...I will be sacrificing ALOT! But until CBS gets their heads out of their rears' , I will be on STRIKE!! ...please feel free to join me ;)

I have been DEAD to the world!!!!

That's right! Dead to the world this last week and I'm sure a few more weeks! Why you may be asking yourself... ;) Well....I got a hold of the "Twilight" series. They are A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!! The books were written by Stephenie Meyer. Oh! How I wish I could write like her! I can NOT put these books down. And I have in the last week, read them twice!!! And I'm gonna read them AGAIN!!! sorry to shout people but I cant say enough about these books. There's 3 books so far...the fourth is coming out in August I believe, so yes I have to wait...and if you know me I hate playing the "hurry up and wait" game! And I'm soooo bumbed! There are making a movie out of the books and they are filming here in Portland....and asking for xtras to be in the movie! BUT!!! I have to work...u know....maybe I should quit my job and make being an xtra my job, sure I wouldn't get paid for being an xtra but HEY I'll be in her movie! And, while I'm being an xtra, maybe I should stalk "Edward", the main character in the book...now THAT!...should be my full time job!!!....wishful thinking, I know I know I know!!! :-( I honestly thought the other day...maybe I should "highlight" all my favorite parts cause I keep going back to the parts I love...but then I don't want other people sneaking into my book and finding out what parts or sections I crave!! So.....if you have not picked up these books...SHAME ON YOU! Get your butt over to the store and get them....I promise! You will NOT be disappointed!!...and your life, like mine right now....will only revolve around these books! ;)

I'm stepping up to my "political soapbox"!!!

ok....seriously....McCAIN!!!! What the crap are people thinking!!! WAIT! They are not thinking!! I have been in a sour mood everytime I think about this. I try and not to think about it but I can't help it, 'cause there is nothing I can do! and that is the fustrating part. I can't fix it. I can't tell those politicans to keep running....give your all, your heart and soul into this campaign! Don't pull out of the race just to "unite" your political party...screw your political party, they don't care about you...and they obviously don't care about "WE THE PEOPLE"!! This is the first year I have been really "into" the political process. I watch and read what I can. I'm not a finatic, I'm just concerned. It all started getting serious when I ordered XM Radio! I have access to FOX News 24/7, I have my dose of GLENN BECK in the morning. (LUV HIM!! ;). And I must say...I think the reason why I am mad as all get out....is because I have no XM radio. I'm going thru withdrawls! I have been without for like almost 2 weeks and its driving me nuts. Time to reoder I guess! HAHAHAHA
Anywho....
This coming up election is going to be a disaster! We have no hope as a country with these crappy people who are wanting to be our next president! Our country is going to hell in a handbasket. enough about dooms day....

From the begining I had no solid idea who I was going to "root" for. I didn't want McCain thats for sure...he flip flops more than Kerry himself, plus his feet lean farther to the left than the right! Guiliani...hmmm not bad really...but I want to keep my guns! Huckabee....who wants a President of the United States with the last name Huckabee!....besides...everytime I see him he reminds me of the character on the TV show "24"....he played the role of the President...the President who ended up screwing up things really really bad....ya I wouldn't vote for him just for that reason alone! HAHA Romney...I didn't want to vote for him just because he's a mormon and I'm a mormon...but I did agree with some stuff. Thompson...he was my man!! When he did that commercial...I forgot what he said but...I thought "DANG!!...thats the type of guy we need as a president right now...tough and won't be afraid to tell ya like it is!" . But...my hopes were shattered...Thompson wussied out early....Guiliani kept all his eggs in one basket....and Romney....didn't "sell" himself enough. Towards the end I was rooting for Romney...I felt like I could trust him over the other guys more...and most importantly...he could fix Washington! That's what my heart was praying for....for him to get in there and fix our countrys' mess!!! If he would of ran his campaign the same way he ran it for Massachusettes...he would of done better. If he had told the people...I fixed the olympics...I can help Mass. out and bring both parties to the table..I can do the same with Washington....but he didn't do that....and if he did... HE DIDN'T DO IT HARD ENOUGH!! Honestly...he could of sold himself alot more than what he did. Just like a job interview...you go in there and sell yourself...prove yourself to them! And he didn't. And another thing that ticks me off...he wussied out!! Don't give up!! You tell the people..ALL THE WAY, TO THE END...and then you shock everyone by saying I'm throwing in the towel!! Just so your political party doesn't get too hurt by you staying in...they lost even more by you getting out! Atleast with Romney we would of had some hope, some chance...but now...we have nothing with McCain and Huckabee. I should change my political party status or something cause theres no way in hell am I voting for either of those two.....!
.........OBAMA, anyone??!

(you don't want to miss this...so click on it :)

I was "sneaking" around on some blogs and I found this adorable you tube video. And I cried!! I don't know where it came from or for what but it spoke volumes to my heart and soul. This sound video says it all...if Heavenly Father can give up his son...I can give up my Dad for a period of time....I know NOT why my father was taken at such an early time in all of our lives but there must be a reason and someday I will know why and full heartily understand.

It has been 12 years since my dad died from cancer. And it has been hard dealing with his death especially when I think about him, and I don't think a day goes by when I don't think about him. And when I think about him I always say...if only you were here! Every time I have a difficult day or moment my thoughts go to him, and for some reason I think that if he was here my life would seem less difficult...or there would be something he could say or do to help me get through this difficult moment. And I'm sure he could do something...cause MY DADDY could fix anything! But...he's not physically here with me...so I must somehow deal with these moments by myself and somehow get thru them in a good way...and I take those times when I think of him and imagine him next to me...cause I believe those are the moments when my Dad wants me to know hes spiritually right next to me and that this is his way of telling me....I LOVE YOU! And I always reply.....I LOVE YOU TOO!

PINEWOOD DERBY!!

Sooooo...this was my first year with this whole pinewood derby thing! Talk about krazy! One of my callings in our ward is cub scout leader for the bears and the wolves. I have 7 BOYS! For the most part they are really good boys. Cutie pies. But there are a few I have issues with. They are not very nice to some of the boys. But anywho... Dallin had so much fun making his car. He made a design on a piece of paper and mike cut it out. Dallin sanded and sanded and sanded....he got bored real quickly! He thought it would take like 5 minutes and then he could paint....yaa he wasn't too happy when we told him...keep sanding....nope, keep sanding! He eventually got it sanded really well and went to the paint job. He is a HUGE oregon "DUCK" fan! He loves the football team, so he painted it the school colors which are yellow and green (gross!). He put #10 on it for his favorite player, which is Dennis Dixon, the QB. (btw...#10 is awesome!!) And he named his car the "DUCKSTER!" (thanks to me :). Well we get to the church, have the boys weight in and do the first round of practice. When Dallin's turn came up he was sooo excited. They let the cars go and DOWN they went! and then BAM! Dallin's came to a complete STOP!! yes..a complete stop. It didn't even get to the finish line. It went down the hill and then just stopped. Oohhh I felt sooo bad. Just the look on his face broke his mamas heart. He was devestated! Well after the practice rounds, the Dad's made the much needed adjustments and then the competition was on! Dallin's still didn't make it to the finish line and come to find out Dallin had pushed the wheels in sooo tight that they touched the wood! No wonder why it didn't want to go anywhere...it couldn't with its "brakes" on! So they got that fixed and continued and boy oh boy he won a race and then a second and then another! He actually in the end tied with another boy for 3rd place!! I was soo proud of him and he was sooo proud of himself! And whats great about that....HE, Dallin, made that HIMSELF! ya, Dad cut it out but Dallin did the rest, and that is what I'm most proud of. I can't really say that for the other scouts and their dads but hey!...my boy is what counts!!
CONGRATS DALLIN!!!!!...on placing 3rd in your first Pinewood Derby!!!!
p.s. pictures to come...when I figure that part out too!!! :P
