SNOWFLAKES

I kinda really love it when I spot snowflakes that actually look like the snowflakes you cut out of paper in elementary school (at least those made by the artsy kids who knew how to make them look like more than a square paper with crazy eyes).

BOXING DAY

Today is Boxing Day and what's a girl who isn't Canadian but loves a good reason to celebrate supposed to do on this day besides get together with an old pal and have a Rocky movie marathon and box around the house a little bit?! Yo, Adrian!

COURTESY FLUSH

I like to wash my hands after I workout at the gym, just incase some big, hairy man sweats all over the machine before me. Today when I walked into the bathroom I was blown away by a foul smell. I know, I know...everybody goes to the bathroom every day hopefully, and sometimes it's a doozy. But if you're in a public place please be kind enough to do a courtesy flush for the next person who might walk in after you.

THE CHEAT

I'll admit I didn't go to a gym once while I was in Wisconsin so it feels super good to get my exercise on while I'm home. I usually go Monday thru Friday and then on the weekend I cheat and wear heels so my legs still feel like I've been working them all day long! Wait, maybe I should wear high heels when I exercise...

CLEANING UP

The main reason people go out to eat sometimes is because they don't want to have to cook, clean up the mess, and do the dishes. But for some reason I still find myself feeling like I have to stack my dishes nicely for the server to take them away and clean up the table as I leave. What is my problem?! At least I get to see cool kids like these girls when I go out:

THE FACTS OF LIFE

Who knew big hair and shoulder pads could be so inspiring?! But these ladies had it right in their theme song:

You take the good,
You take the bad,
You take them both and there you have
the facts of life.

PEELING ORANGES

I love to eat oranges, but I hate to peel them. I don't like the way it makes my hands feel or smell afterwards. This would cause a dilemma for most people. However, ever since I can remember, if I wanted to eat an orange all I had to do was take it in to my dad and he would gladly peel it for me...as many times as I asked.

Growing up, I never really cared about the thought of the size of my house or how much money my future husband would provide for me. Instead, I simply thought it would be super romantic if he would peel my oranges...that's it. Of course I'll accept other gifts as well.

BLUFF

When people say "Because I like you, I'm not gonna respond to that" or "I could say something, but I'm just not gonna go there" I kinda don't really believe they have anything to say. In fact, I think they are just trying to get others to think they're witty when they're not.

So, to those of ya'll who use those lines or anything like unto them, I call your bluff...go ahead and say it. If what you have to say is really that good, then I really want you to 'go there' and say it.

SNOW DAY

I believe I only had school cancelled due to snow one time in Utah. ONE TIME out of 5 school years. And then we had to make it up during Christmas vacation. I remember church was cancelled once; that was a sweet snow day.

But, here they cancelled school like 2 days in advance because the weather man said it would snow a bunch. Last night it was snowing and so everyone stayed home and some businesses even closed early. I went out in the snow....it wasn't that bad. Why is everybody so afraid of a little powder here?!

BLADES

Random fact about deanna #37:
I shave my legs in the shower every day. Yep, EVERY day.
As I was in the shower today, I looked at my razor and wondered if people even buy single or twin blades anymore? Why are they even made when you can enjoy the smoothness that comes from 3, 4, or even 5 blades at once. It's incredible.

CUSTOMER SERVICE

I don't consider myself to be a rude kid, and I can be very patient with people most of the time, but have you ever been so fed up with a customer service agent you want to tell them to suck it, hang up on them, and then secretly hope their place of business blows up and they never have another customer as long as you both shall live?! AHEM...me neither. Just wondering.
