As I just went to a family wedding, this thursday I will write about them. So, thirteen things about my family.

1) We share the same sense of humour and the lucky ones all have the same giant laugh.
2) I only have one sister, but I call her by two names. Stinky face is not actually one of them.
3) Family trips did not include a DVD player, Ipod, or sometimes even a radio. They did include some of the most memorable moments of my childhood, and I plan to do the same to my kids.
4) I did not torture my lil sis for nearly as long as she has punished me for it.
5) Everyone in my house is musical.
6) I have my Dad's hands. Probably why they are so small, to not be masculine.
7) Both my parents have green eyes. This gave me pause when I took science, as I have blue eyes.
8) My mom at 5'9" is the shortest girl in her family. My sister is 5'11". I am 5'4" and I think somehow I got jipped.
9) From when I moved till recently I believed that the cousins here and I would become as close as siblings. Funny how I thought I would fit.
10) I consider good friends to also be family.
11) Both my Grandmas are artists.
12) I love being a part of the conversations that are like debates, covering every topic.
13) I know how lucky I am to be related to good people.

Joggers

Ooh how I hate you random joggers. Blowing past me as I wheeze up the hill, with your ponytail swinging, ipod listening, spandex wearing, expensive shoe pounding, water bottle sloshing, indifferent to the natural element as you put the few calories allowed to work. I just want to hit you with my car as I drive past you to the bakery. It's if you can't beat 'em, hate 'em, right?

My Dog

The phone rang as I lay in bed halfway between dream and awake. I heard my roomate answer, then her footsteps pounding down the stairs and the whoosh of the opening door. I opened my eyes to the bare light from through the curtains as she put the phone in my face. "Hello, I'm glad we had the results analysed, he has a mast cell tumor. Its a form of cancer, we'll need to operate." Thoughts rush around in my head, I dont really care about the details I just want the ones who have brought the bad news to make it better. Hanging up I cuddle my puppy of nine years. What a crap way to start the day.

First Ever

This is my very first blog, and I'm going to try to add to the TT community. So here's my intro, Thirteen Things about me;

1)I love to have friends over for dinner, but hate to cook.

2)I am allegic to chocolate. Weird I know, and its only some brands. I wish I was making this up.

3)I used to tap dance and sometimes still do.

4)I grew up in the mormon church and those values are buried deep, but the lock is flimsy.

5)I have delusions of grandeur and have found myself saying things like "When I meet (so-and-so famous person)"

6)I am not a huggy type person. I understand if you are, but I'm not into full contact hellos.

7)I'm a total germaphobe. To the OCD point. If you want some of my drink you better drink the rest because I wont drink it after you have.

8)I keep a journal. I think if you snoop you get what you deserve. It's honest of that moment.

9)I love puns. That is my cheesy sense of humour.

10)I don't believe in fashion.The industry itself, because it is so subjective, arbritrary, and catty.

11)I want all the trappings of wealth.

12)I love movies, but I hate critics and reviewers. I dont care if BillyJoeBob saw it and thought it was the greatest movie ever.

13)I'm slowly becoming more and more of a hippy. Maybe its age, but I want to know exactly where what I buy comes from. I love the idea of communal living. The IDEA of it anyway.
