Tagged by Stacy: 5 things I'm ADDICTED to!

Ok, i'll admit I'm not a huge fan of these "tagged" things, but a good friend of  mine tagged me and it wasn't an annoying one so I thought i'd comply.  I'm not so sure I want to admit some of these things but here it goes ... here is 5 things I'm addicted to:

N0. 5 - Blogging:

Before last fall I wasn't really into blogging.  I was taking one of my communications class and my professor said she would give us an extra 5% at the end of the semester if we kept a blog, so I figured if I could get extra on my final grade i'd do it.  When I started it I had a few posts but still wasn't that in to it.  I then found out that my good friend Parker had a blog and his was awesome... he was so kind to share some blogging secrets with me and from then on out I was addicted!

N0. 4 - Crosswords:

Some people tease me (particularly Lara) because I will sit in bed and do my daily crossword at night before I go to sleep.  Lara calls me an old lady, because I do this, but it doesn't bother me.  I Particularly do the USA Today daily crossword puzzle.  I love crosswords because I learn so much from them ... and let me be honest, the USA Today crossword is not easy by any means, they can be pretty tough.  I remember when I first started to do them everyday I could barely get any of the answers.  With time the more I did them the more I learned about crosswords and the easier they have become.  Its my way of learning something new everyday and keeping my mind alive!

N0. 3 - Running:

I love to run!  Endorphins are the greatest high in the world and that is my motivation to run!!  I really started getting into running 8 years ago when I had a roommate that was training for a marathon and kept trying to get me to go running with her at night so she wouldn't have to run alone in the dark.  I would go sometimes and after a while I got hooked!  I've yet to run a marathon but hope to this year run a half and a full marathon.  I love doing 10k's, by far the perfect length for a race and particularly my favorite!  Those that know running language will know exactly why I chose this photo to go along with running!

N0. 2 - My iPhone:

What can I say, the iPhone is pure brilliance and LOADS of fun!  I got it about a month ago and absolutely love it, can't get enough!  There is so many things that you can put onto the iPhone that just makes it a world of compact fun!  Highly recommend it!  One of the best purchases I ever made!!!

No. 1 - GREY'S FREAKIN' ANATOMY!!!:

My Grey's Anatomy addiction is thanks to my lil' sis Fel.  When I was attending BYU-Idaho a few years ago my little sister lived upstairs from me and I had a hard time relating to my roommates because they were all freshies

and I was 23 so I would spend a lot of time with her.  Thursday nights are now my favorite night of the week!  I have seen every episode (and most of them more than once) in the last 4 seasons and so far every episode of the current season 5!  I also own all the seasons that are out on DVD.  Ha!  I'm so addicted, ask me anything and I can tell you anything you want to know about the show, characters, etc!

This tag was actually kinda fun!  I'll tag Misti, Felicia & Neil, Parker, & Melissa! ;)

My happiness!

I think from this photo and video's, you can figure out why I am so happy!  I just LOVE this girl!  She had to put her ballerina stuff on for us when we got to her house and then proceeded to model her outfit and show us different poses that ballerinas do.  She's just so adorable, not a moment goes by that I don't want to just play with her!

Then, it was puppet show time...I probably did 7 puppet shows with her last night!  She just kept saying "Kirwa (that's how she pronounces my name) lets do another puppet show."  I couldn't resist that face!  She's so sweet, I absolutely love her!!

New Favorite Movie

For all the Women out there here is a must see, the ultimate chick flick, the chick flick of all chick flicks!  One night a few weeks ago I was browsing around on iTunes and looking for a movie to rent.  I wanted to watch a chick flick cuz lets face it I'm a girl and that's what we like.  I clicked on "new releases" and The Women was first on the list, so I clicked on it and read the description, it sounded good, so I rented it.  Instantly loved it & then tonight I red boxed it and watched it with my sister, mom, and dad & loved it again ... and I have to admit my dad laughed pretty hard too.  Excellent cast & brilliant filming too, there's not a man in the entire movie, not in the background, not anywhere.  Pretty darn funny that they were able to do that!  Made the title of the movie that much more perfect.  Here's the movie's trailer, you'll love it!

SNL: My current entertainment

Video Recaps | Full Episodes | Webisodes

SNL is short for Saturday Night Live a weekly late night comedy show on NBC.  I was first introduced to SNL by my first set of roommates about 7 years ago and was instantly hooked!  This last weekend my sister Fel & her husband Neil were down from Rexburg and we just entertained ourselves for hours watching SNL videos ... I haven't laughed so hard in a long time and thank Fel & Neil for helping out there.  Here is a video that we can't get enough of right now!

New Favorite Saying

While eating lunch today with my parents at Einstein Bagels I was intrigued with a saying that was on the wall.  I think it just may be one of my new favorite sayings ... so what did I do ... I took a picture of it of course!

If you can't read it, here is what it says - "Melvin and Elmo Einstein's observation about people: People are like bagels, many varieties, but basically they're all good."  

Of course my parents thought I was weird for taking a picture and already planning a blog post while we were sitting there, but what can I say, I guess I am a born blogger ... perhaps a curse of being a writer, you get inspiration from literally everything, anywhere you are!

Incase any one of my loyal blog readers were wondering ... the Einstein Bagel sandwich was delectable!  Yum, Yum!

New Years Resolutions???

*Image credit: Google Images*

I've never been a big fan of New Years resolutions.  Some may ask why... allow me to tell you.  I feel that a "resolution" or a "goal" can be made anytime of year.  A lot of people just choose to put it off until Jan. 1st.  No biggie... to each their own.  

I also found this quote that made me laugh:

"I made no resolutions for the New Year.  The habit of making plans, criticizing, sanctioning and molding my life, is too much of a daily event for me."

- Anais Nin

Good luck to all those that made their resolutions & hope you all have an amazing 2009!
