7 lives

It's said that a cat has SEVEN lives right??!
Well then....I too must have seven lives.

Am I a cat?  Well, some might argue that I am.
I mean...I could be considered a Cougar.
I am a BYU graduate and....sometimes I date younger men.

Well....I've died just about seven times.

1.  Once while living in Hawaii, I hitch-hiked to get home with my friend Marielle.  Turns out, we were picked up by a drug dealer. Probably not such a good idea.  I kinda feared for our lives.

2.  Crashed super hard wakeboarding.  I was afraid to open my eyes because I thought my eyeballs had popped out.  It hurt so bad.

3.  "The" breakup.  Seriously thought for a minute that I might die from a broken heart. Don't worry, I've found the missing pieces and I'm as good as new.

4.  My first triathlon.  I literally thought I was going to die during the swim.  The wet suit was constricting me and I didn't feel like a could breathe.  Thought I might suffocate.  Just about died right there in the water.

5.  Got a "last minute deal" on a hotel room in Rome.  Super sketchy.  Not only was I nervous about sleeping there for four nights but also leaving all of our belongings there while we went out for Thanksgiving dinner.  Crazy Americans!

6.  And most recently.....I thought I was having a heart attack.  I stayed up all night, nervous that I might have a heart defect because I was experiencing pain in my left shoulder.  Turns out I just had bicep tendinitis.  It had nothing to do with my heart!

AND....

Well...I guess that leaves me one more life to live.
Here's to 2011
And although I'm sure there will be plenty more breakups, sketching situations, scary people, hard crashes, and the last 5 miles of a race where I just don't think there is any way I am going to make it....
I am excited!!  Going to make it a good one!

Hi Kim

I hope work is slow and you come across me in your blog stalking.  Love you!!  Now go glitter some toes.



P.s.  My sister now sells glitter and polish that you can do at home.  Visit her at South Towne mall just outside of Forever 21. 

What my WHISTLE can do

Talk with the birds
Give a warning when I'm coming around a sharp corner on my bike
Let the skiers/wakeboarders behind the boat know that we're turning around
Call out for help when I'm in a case of emergency
Do cat calls
Impress the fellas
Cheer at games without destroying my voice
Let my roommates know that I am coming home
Whistle along to music
Play name that tune
Get someone's attention
It's great when I'm too lazy to get out of bed and need something
Be a referee for a game of any sort
Be located anywhere, whether lost in a store or party
Cheer out during Zumba class without completely losing my breath
to name a few....

Not to mention that this is all hands free

Probably the most useful tool I have.....or have ever learned

Thanks Mar!

What does a girl need.....

to run a triathlon? 

Oh and this isn't everything.
There's still the bike....the helmet.....everything you need in order to change a flat tire (oh please don't happen to me)....tissues for my runny nose (and what not).....Sport Legs.....warm clothes in case the weather decides to be bad......sport drinks......
guts.....stamina.....craziness.....endurance.....determination......
excitement.....friends just as crazy to do it with you.....adrenaline (but not too much. i learned my lesson on that in St. George)......self discipline.....and..... 

a whole lot of support!!
Thanks Lacy for the good luck basket.  You seriously provided me with many of the essentials.  And my family....here we come Boise.

I'm so excited!!!  Wish me luck!

How Old Am I?

WRONG.

I have the body of a 17 year old.
And the brain of an 80 year old.

I lost my car in the parking lot today.

Another reason to hate Walmart.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

Wow!  It's amazing how I don't even notice the boxes anymore.  
Truly an idea of a genius.
I sure hope that nothing valuable is EVER being delivered. 

In my opinion....I think there's a better chance of me being oblivious to two boxes sitting outside an apartment door rather than  A FLOATING door mat.
