31. On snowy days I always wish I could stay home all day and drink hot chocolate while reading.
32. I once fainted in a J.Crew outlet in St. George when I was 14. I still don't know how it happened, I just woke up in the middle of the store surrounded by people. Crazy.
33. I danced from age 3 to age 17. I finally quit my junior year in high school for the swim team.
34. In my last dance recital I was The Wizard in The Wizard of Oz.
35. I sometimes tell people my middle name is Krystal with a "K." I don't have a middle name.
36. I always want the 'latest' version of things. When I see people with the newest laptop, ipod, cell phone, car.... I feel like I too need these things.
37. I have a hard time buying 'used' things. I would prefer a NEW car or NEW furniture. The thought of someone else enjoying something I own, before I was able to enjoy it drives me nuts.
38. When I was in high school I rear ended a Ford Taurus with my Suburban... right in front of my school... when school had just ended.
39. I am usually laid back, but when someone treats me or someone I'm with disrespectfully... I speak up.
40. When I went to Hawaii with my friend Brooke last summer I got mine and her whole family's dinner for free at the Outback Steakhouse because our service was so bad.
41. My brother used to be a server, and he tells me I am a server's worst nightmare... whatever that means.
42. I once went to San Francisco with my family and ordered a grilled cheese sandwich at every restaraunt. I used to rate them on a scale from 1 to 10.
43. I have never had to wait in an emergency room for medical care. And don't know how I'll handle it if I ever do.
44. I once signed up for a Europe Trip by myself through BYU. I went to London and Paris by myself... but luckily made friends with the group once I was there.
45. When I went to New York last spring, I was able to see WICKED because my friends name was pulled from a lottery of 500 people!
46. I went to the midnight parties for every Harry Potter book that had a midnight party.
47. When people tell me they like Harry Potter (but are referring to the movies and have never read the books) it drives me crazy.
48. I only like hot chocolate from one little coffee shop in Salt Lake. If I can't have hot chocolate from there, I won't have any.
49. I played water polo in high school.
50. I like competing in sports that aren't trendy. I like triathlons and it bugs me that they're a huge trend now.

100 Things About Me: (#21-30)
21. I don't like soda pop.
22. You will never see me eat anything from a fast food chain (such as McDonald's, BK, Taco Bell, Arby's, Arctic Circle). I do like In N' Out Burger, thanks to Jake, but their ingredients are fresh, so it doesn't count.
23. I wish I had an amazing voice. I LOVE to sing.
24. Once during my junior year of high school I took voice lessons from my neighbor and she told me it sounded like I had injured vocal cords, so I never went back.
25. I also love to dance. You can often find me blasting my music while singing along and dancing around the house. My husband can attest to this.
26. I could eat cereal for every meal.
27. When I walk into an empty public restroom, or down a long hallway with no windows I kindof jump around corners in order to scare my attacker before he can catch me off guard. I also always hold one key in front of me in when I walk to my car so I can stab my attacker in the throat, if necessary.
28. Once I went on a blind date to see the movie "The Ring." My date did NOT walk me to the door at the end of the date, so I ran to the door. I then woke my mom up and made her walk downstairs with me and talk while I got ready for bed. I was 22.
29. I can absorb and never forget lyrics to a song, but I cannot for the life of me remember information for tests.
30. I get frustrated when people don't know proper etiquette for card dealing, playing, shuffling. My grandparents were avid card players and taught me the ropes at a young age. You might see me working the tables in Vegas some day.

100 Things About me: (#11-20)
11. I never buy concessions at movie theaters because I feel like it's a waste of money. However, my husband's favorite treat is movie theater popcorn, so we always end up with snacks at the theater. I just make sure I'm not there when he purchases the treats, so I don't freak out.
12. When I get gas I always make the pump stop on either the exact $$ amount, or the .50 cent point.
13. I don't mind the smell of skunks. I mean, I don't want it as a perfume or anything, but it doesn't bother me.
14. My biggest pet peeve is the sound of people blowing their nose. It grosses me out. Which also means I cannot blow my nose... I just can't do it. It makes me gag.
15. I hate sushi. It too makes me gag (you can ask my husband). I also hate that sushi is such a trend and when people say "Let's go for sushi." "Oh my gosh, I am sooooo craving sushi right now!" It's like they say it just to be heard by all. And also when I tell people I don't like sushi and they say, "you haven't had REAL sushi, you need to try sushi with someone that knows what they're talking about." No. I don't like sushi, ever. Period.
16. I hate my feet. I have long toes, wide feet, and calluses from years of point shoes. I consider getting plastic surgery done to make my feet cuter.
17. I broke my ankle snowboarding when I was 20. I now have two permanent screws in my right ankle and a scar.
18. I love the smell of Comet. And Cascade. When I was younger I used to sniff it and my mom would freak out because she didn't want me to inhale the stuff and die.
19. I was punched in the face by a girl in high school in the Papa Murphy's parking lot, while sitting in the driver's seat of my suburban. I had to go to some juvenile corrections class because I started it by flipping her off.
20. I used to have a pet rat. I also had tree frogs and we had to feed them crickets. It seems like one cricket always got out and then I couldn't sleep in my room for a couple nights.

100 Things About Me: (#1-10)
1. If I could go anywhere in the world, it would be Bora Bora. I have a picture of where I want to stay while I'm there.
2. One summer, when I was 20, I lived in Boston with my friend Katelyn and her sister. If the opportunity arose to move there, I would, in a heartbeat.
3. When sharing a bed or bedroom with someone, I always immediately take the right side of the bed, or the right side of the room if there are two beds. I am self conscious of my *sometimes* habit of snoring, so when I'm on the right, sleeping on my right side, I am snoring into a wall, and hopefully no one can hear.
4. When it comes to animals, I am overly sentimental. I cried when I took my dog to the vet yesterday to get "snipped." My eyes were teary and the vet asked if I had allergies... "yes... it's just allergies," was my (embarassed) reply.
5. My favorite holiday is The 4th of July. Every year my family goes up to our cabin in Oakley, UT and we enjoy the rodeo at least 2 out of the 4 nights. It's my favorite family tradition.
6. I actually have a desire to someday finish an ironman competition. So far I've only finished 'sprint' triathlons, so I've got a ways to go.
7. I am a neat freak when it comes to folding laundry. I will re-fold things until I think they are perfect. I organize shirts from biggest to smallest. I also make individual piles for each article of clothing... It pretty much takes over the basement until I am finished. When I worked at the Sports Mall I would re-fold hundreds of towels that my co-workers folded because they weren't perfect.
8. I love having a clean house, but loathe small cleaning jobs. I would prefer to clean something that's really dirty and spend hours on a project, than quickly wiping or sweeping.
9. I was the ward chorister in my single's ward for 2 years, then RS chorister in my new ward for 6 months. I have NO musical background.
10. Wakeboarding is my absolute favorite thing to do in this world. Three years ago I attended a wakeboard camp in Florida for a week by myself. I can't do cool tricks, but I love the sport.

And then it was Monday...
I had the BEST weekend! I don't want to bore you all with details, because I know none of you care as much about the details of my weekend as I do. Which is quite sad... I am a fascinating person and what goes on in my life should be something you are all constantly thinking about. I can't change you, and I won't try, but you should know that my weekend was awesome-er than yours. I also have no pictures to document the awesomeness of my weekend. I've been a bit slacky with the camera lately. New goal in life: Take pictures.

AWESOME-ER: Better than; more fun than; kicked butt more than

Note to self: Avoid liquids from 9am-10am
I have been at my job for almost a year now, and in all these 11 months I have never run into the bathroom cleaning ladies. Strangely, this week I have walked into the restroom 3 TIMES while the cleaning ladies were hard at work. Great. I can't relieve myself while these ladies are on the floor in the next stall cleaning away, it's weird, and awkward, and did I mention weird? So, instead I find myself hussling down to the third floor to 'borrow' their facilities. Going to the third floor is like using a bathroom in another country... the carpeting is different, the smells are different, and the people..... sooooo different. I'm quite comfortable on the fourth floor, and I've made some friends just from our daily visits to the restroom. We all have designated stalls that we prefer to 'go' in. Only newbies use the middle stall... that one's the worst! Anyway, the third floor women look at me like I'm an intruder. I make it a goal to get in and get out and back to my office without anyone seeing me. It's like a game. You should try it.
So, I guess the lesson we can learn from my experience this week is this: Find out when the cleaning ladies are tending to your restroom, and avoid going at that time. Otherwise, you will inevitably be put in an uncomfortable situation.

Let me get this off my chest
I don't know who wrote that last blog entry? Only one other person knows my login ID and password.... but it couldn't possibly have been him....
Anyway, that is not what I'm here to talk about today. I just want to say that Ashton Kutcher is a horrible actor and I will NEVER see the movie "What Happened In Vegas" unless someone ties me to a chair and tapes my eyes open, or if the remote is on the other side of the room and it's on TV. Cameron Diaz, in my opinion (which is like gospel), has become miraculously suckier at acting. So, the two of them together in a movie called "What Happens in Vegas" (sooooooooooo clever!) makes me embarassed that I live in a generation of movie suckiness. Remember a little movie called "Just Married"?? Hmmmm, "What Happens in Vegas"...."Just Married"....... what is this world coming to?!?!
If you are offended by this (even though I don't think I have much of an audience these days) and the fact that I think these movies are crap I DON'T apologize! Instead I ask you to re-evaluate your life and ask yourself.... "why do I expose myself to this garbage???"
If you'd like some recommendations, I am happy to offer them. Thank you for reading.

Don't Mess With The ZOHAN!!!
Okay so let me tell you about the movie of the year...Zohan. I'm a pretty big Adam Sandler fan anyways with awesome movies like Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison, Chuck and Larry, Anger Management, and many more...
Let me just say that ZOHAN was awesome! I loved the crotch humor! You should go see this movie if not tonight then for sure this weekend. Just thought I'd pass this on to all of my closest friends.

Hurry! Maybe we can watch them burn!
As I was speeding through my neighborhood on my bike last night, I realized something. I am a sick person. Last night Jake and I saw smoke coming up from just a short distance from our house, so naturally we decide to hop on our bikes and ride over to get a closer look. Nuts, we can't get past those pesky firemen. Apparently they get the VIP access to these things. Whatever. There were fire engines lining the street and there were cars parked all the way around the corner to another street as if there was a dope party going on in our 'hood... but... no. It was just a house completely up in flames and while the firemen are pushing past us (even though we got there first!), we all act irritated that they won't let us get closer. We (meaning all few hundred of us spectators) were fascinated by watching someone's home burn to the ground, and we wanted to know all the details. It reminds me of the days I drive to work and notice stop and go traffic, then as I get up to the cause of the traffic jam I realize it's an accident, and the only cause for slowed traffic is the weirdos (including myself) driving past trying to get a glimpse of a bloody body or lost limb or something. Then speeding away disappointed that the scene is mostly cleared up.
All I'm saying is, keep up your speed as you drive past the accident scene and stare. That way I can still make it to work on time. Oh, and when there's a fire in your neighborhood, make sure you don't hesitate when making your way to the scene, that way you can get a way better view, and maybe even a spray from the firehose.
