foosball.

i love how me and my husband are always on the same page...

*watching BYU vs WA game*

him: "Now all we have to do is control......."

i interrupt.

me: ".....ALT, and DELETE THESE MOFOs!!!"

I was super excited and waited for a well-deserved high five for my cleverness.

...

lets just say he left me hangin'.

at least one of us thinks I'm cool.

My name is Rage, Road Rage.

well, at least my middle name isn't Rash.... yet?

My name is Danielle, and I'm a rage-a-holic.

Let me BEGIN by saying that I already KNOW that I need to learn how to be patient...

but seriously people (not you, my precious blog people, but the dangerous blind drivers out there).......Don't drive with your head up your you know what!!!

(and you know what I mean... its your you-know-where.)

I have serious road rage, I even replaced my horn in my car because....well lets be serious, I have a toyota and we all know they are built with sissy "beep beep" horns. I mean.. really Japan!? I can YELL louder than that!

Lets be serious. I got a truck horn, a super loud truck horn. I even tried a few out before making the final selection. I actually have two octaves of horn.... but I'm not here to give you a horn education.

I wanted people to take me seriously when I hold it for the 3 minutes that I feel necessary to get my point across. I know I have issues, serious need-counseling issues.

Merging:

We all know how to do it... or do we? Let me explain. When two lanes merge, you go one after one after one...and so on and so forth. Well THIS BEEZY decides that she wants to go 2 and then one. I go because well, its MY TURN. I see her and notice she isn't stopping.

This is where I realize that I am stubborn. We play chicken with each other for a second, and since I'm smarter, I stopped. She looks at me and starts doing the whole "angry-mouthing" thing. "There are two lanes" she mouths and points. And I mouth back "YES I KNOW, thats why we MERGE YOU....." Well, this is a family blog and lets just not go there.

But the BEST part of this story is that it goes on for about 2 minutes!

LITERALLY THE LONGEST argument while driving I have ever had!!

There came a point where I was arguing just because I could. It made me feel better. I know I'm a terrible person, don't act like you don't think the same things I do.

Anyway, I did this because, well...

you know how you admit things to people so that they can put you in your place?

....

This isnt for that! LOL.

Just thought I'd share!

Love ya peeps!

blog failure

Wow, I suck at blogging. I knew this was a horrible idea.

I'm a GREAT follower though! I love reading all your blogs! Sorry I don't give back to you the inspiration and entertainment you give to me.

Updates:

• I have a job! I am a legal assistant. Whowouldathought!? Anyway, its a stressful job sometimes because I deal with SSA Disability claims, and peoples lives are on the line. LITERALLY. But I love it. I read medical records and weed out the crappy claims from the slam dunks.

• 15 lbs down. =) Starting P90X again tomorrow with Brady. I LOVE IT. I love how I feel and how I look and how I act when I am eating well and tx my body well. (tx=treating... i cant believe I just used that, I read medical records for a living... and thats Drs shorthand. really, danielle?)

• We just had our one year anniversary!

Me: "Do you love me more or less than you did when we got married?"

Him: "More, duh. What kind of stupid question is that?"

Me: "How is that possible?"

Him: "Love is like a garden....well.... not our garden."

Thank goodness its not our garden! Apparently you can't have a beautiful lush garden with no water. weird.

*scream*

skinny girls need not flaunt their cart full of chocolate mousse cake, mint brownies, brownie bites, chocolate chip cookies, whipped cream & calories in my face while I'm googling how many calories are in tilapia.

I

HATE

YOU

& if I hear an "I'm so fat" from someone who is not considered obese or overweight by the BMI scale.. or their doctors I will throw them across a field with my newly formed muscles.

aghhh!

I want pound cake. I know, its called "pound" cake for a reason.

I'll just keep dousing my food with hot sauce, mustard and zero calorie imitation butter flakes & have a hot body that I HAD TO WORK FOR! RIGHT?

you've got personality

so. there is one thing i don't like about myself.

its my weight.

:)

i have been watching a lot of reality tv.

people are TORN up about their weight.

& have so many underlying problems & daddy issues.

i am so blessed i dont have those on TOP of being overweight.

i'm just chubbity.

i can lose weight.

BUT...

here are some things that if you don't have, you just won't have:

personality

pizazz

spunk

groove

sparkle

humor

rhythm

funk

spirit

I have the latter, now to work on the weight - then I'll be perfect!

....right?

LOL

it also helps my self-esteem knowing that in another culture being pasty white and chubbity is HOT & SEXY!

Hewlzyah!

bathroom lovin

So I have been going STIR crazy and hating the whole "style" of this place i live... I've decided that it's up to me what it looks like, so I've decided to get Jiggy wid it. I made curtains, had some great thrift finds that i re-purposed, and made a new bow holder because mine, sadly, had fallen to pieces.

The Bow Holder:

I had some colored bamboo sticks lying around that were being nothing but a headache for me. I had nowhere to put them & no idea what to do with them.. I just kept moving them from one home to another hoping that someday I would magically find the perfect spot. Anyway, I had the BRILLIANT idea to make a bow holder from two of the sticks. It wasn't easy, but it was fun :) I decided to separate the pinks from the reds and give them a little love. =) My bathroom colors are dark yellow, red, black and white..

• Two Bamboo Sticks
• Ribbon
• Glue Gun
• Flower Clips
• A Blind eye to the fuzz on my carpet

Cut a bunch of ribbon, decide how tall you want the holder

Glue the ribbon onto the bamboo flat

tie a knot at the end. make sure when you are gluing them on you glue them the opposite direction of how you want them facing. after you tie the ribbon, the direction changes.

Finished product

Here are the rest of my bathroom improvements so far:

Homemade curtains, and my "Loo" sign that I found at the DI for a buck! I just changed out the ribbon to match my bathroom - the one it had was DINGY! (i love those Cheer commercials)

The next project I'm undertaking is a yellow shelf right over the top of the bow holder. DEEP BREATH! lets see how that one goes.. =/

Found that plate at a garage sale for $.25 and I tied the other two bamboo sticks with extra ribbon. Paired it with my scented oil candle...a must have in a bathroom. haha

If you have any ideas for me, let me know. This bathroom is hard because it is extremely tiny and is a laundry room/bathroom. Did I mention its TINY?
