I ♥ Fuze



These drinks are SO good! I am addicted to them! Not only are they good amazing for you, they taste delicious! They come in four categories: Refresh, Slenderize, Tea and Vitalize. Refresh is a way of refreshing your daily intake of vitamins. Personally, I like Banana Colada the best...Slenderize is a low carb version of the drink and tea is exactly what it says, tea. Whether it be green tea or white tea. Finally, Vitalize is a form of energy drink. These taste so great and are so good for you so I have to recommend you try them!!! Oh and go to their website, it's got sound effects and everything :)

Snowboarding

I've got to say I'm doing pretty decent for my second time snowboarding! And defineatly not as sore! That's always a plus. I do have some battle wounds though. What I thought was a bruise is really going to turn out as a scar! It's quite a funny story on how it all happened....
Kortney and I were going down the hill or more accurately, the almost flat slope, and I started turning and I couldn't stop. I warned Kortney but she couldn't turn and then BAM! I hit her and I flipped over her and knocked my snowboard on her back. Her snowboard hit my shin and then we both laid there and laughed. Normal people would have been moaning in pain but we laughed. For the rest of the day, me and her were like magnets. All my crashes involved her somehow. Even with all the bang-ups it was a great day! I absolutely LOVE snowboarding! I wish we lived closer to the hill!
I'm proud to say that I can carve! Not great but enough to get me down the hill.....sometimes. ;)

New Heinz On-the-Go Ketchup Packet


Heinz has come out with a new ketchup packet! Woo! No more tearing those little ones and getting ketchup all over the place! The old version of the packets has been out for years. It's funny because as soon as Heinz released the old packets in 1968, complaints started coming in in 1969. Ever since, Heinz has tried coming up with new things and they have but none of the businesses bought them because they were too expensive.
But NOW, they have lowered the prices on this brand new model! (I feel like I'm talking about cars...) This packet not only squeezes the ketchup out of the top, but you can peel back the wrapping and you can dip your fries too! (or whatever it is that people like to dip!) I love this idea! I believe the first packets are to make their appearance in McDonalds this summer!
I've already told everyone I'm heading to McDonalds this summer to witness ketchup history!!!!
I hope all the people who complained about the old packets can rest well at night now. :)

The Sledding Adventure

I absolutely get a kick out of sledding with my friends! Our youth group went sledding out at my friend, Arielle's farm. (Or out behind in the steep hills is more like it!) Anyhow, they had tubes there! Those are the best sled you can ever ask for! I don't care what people say about tobaggans and crazy carpets and saucers, tubes are the best.
Basically, everyone attempted to pile onto one tube. It did work! Barely. Then there was the pyramid.....well let's just say that didn't work as well. Keanna was on the top and I swear when we hit and a bump and she flew over us and on the ground, she was moving in slow motion. We went right over her! Thankfully, she was okay. It was still kinda funny though....
At one point, Shannon, Arielle and I decided to go on the tube together. There was this metal thing at the bottom of the hill that everyone tried to avoid. So we started going down the hill and of course, we started sliding over to the metal thing. I yelled "Abort!" and we all abandoned ship. It was pretty epic actually. This happened again except I was in the middle and couldn't 'abort' without the other two aborting first and they wouldn't. So I pressed my back into the snow in the middle of the tube and dragged us to a stop. Hey, desperate times call for desperate measures. :)
It was so fun though. Good times.
