things that bug...and things that I love.

So that little Tagged post put me in the mood to share some things that have been on my mind as of late, or just repeatedly...so lucky you, I am going to share!

Things that really bug...

1. Scooters, bullet bikes, bicycles, mopeds, motorcycles...all of these should require helmet wearing. I do not understand what is going through someone's mind when they hop on one of these without one. They really must not have much to live for, because they are willing to give it up way to quickly. My favorite is when you see someone riding one with the helmet sitting on the seat in back of him. Maybe it is because they cannot mess up their work of art faux hawk? I don't know, but it really does not make sense to me.

2. Do people in Utah County just not work? No matter what day or time it is, anywhere you go, it is busy! There is traffic, (and we all know my wrath towards Utah drivers...), there are lines, etc. Kids, moms, dads, business men and women, everywhere you go. In normal cities this does not happen because people actually go to their jobs during the day, it is a phenomenon.
3. Orem Wal-mart. I realize that even Wal-Mart has it's limits, but if you are in Orem, don't you think that you could inventory a little bit better?

4. Twilight. Seriously people. How many times do you have to read that "Bella melted into his arms" or "kissed his ice cold lips"...I suppose every generation needs their Buffy.

5. People finding out how old I am and then giving me that sympathetic smile when finding out I am single. Yes, I did read last months Ensign about being "Single and Steadfast". No, I do not need to borrow a copy. Yes, I choose my single status and Yes, I am happy that way. And No, I do not want to meet your friend, brother or son. And lastly, I know I "will make someone very happy someday", thanks.



NOW things that I love :)

1. Instant Messaging!!! I am not a computer geek, I do not meet people online, and I have actually never been in a chat room. But I love talking to my sisters, my parents and the occasional friend on IM. It allows for so much multi tasking! I can watch SportsCenter, paint my toenails and eat my dinner all while talking to an old friend.

2. Argyle. I have always been a huge fan of the pattern. Oh and paisley. Not quite sure which era I am in with this obsession, but I love them. Socks, shirts, curtains, linens, panties, skirts, purses, so many options!!!! Polka dots have their place, but sometimes they make me a little dizzy...so paisley and argyle are definitely my fancy.

3. My niece and nephew. They are adorable. I love to talk to them on the phone. They are both quite the talkers and so SMART! For some reason hearing my 3 year old nephew say "Hi Beecckkk E", being able to talk to me, and tell me that he loves me brings more pride and rainbows in my life than a gay parade on a sunny San Fransisco day.

4. Pancakes. I am a major carb addict. Bad I know, goes straight to the belly, but I don't care, I love them. And just like the paisley/ argyle obsession- SO MANY OPTIONS!! Whipped cream, jelly, butter, syrup, candy, peanut butter, berries...and don't even get me started on waffles, don't even get me started. It's kinda like panini's...flat. OH or crepes...also flat. And so freaking delicious with so many options. I love options.

5. HDTV. I currently do not have HD, and I do not have time to watch television...but when there is an important game on, HD is amazing. Or when they are whipping up goodies on the food network- it's truly mind blowing what a little high def can do for the senses. It's like you are there! You can practically smell LT's sweat or the herbs in Giada De Laurentiis' main dish. Apparently there is now HD Radio, I don't know how that works, but I bet that's pretty killer too.

Wow, that was a lot... This whole blogging thing is new to me. And what I can't believe is that all my married friend's have these and their's are more interesting! I am the single girl living in the life. They are cooped up in apartments staring at eachother, and doing boring, married stuff...yet their's seem to kick my blog's butt :(
