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. ;)

My Three Commandments

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.

What a Day!

Ok, so I went to town this morning with my friend Arielle. (She's got her license now so she can drive me places haha) She took me out to lunch at a fancy place called the Star Cafe and Grill for my birthday. (The party is tonight! I'm so excited!) And let me tell you, it IS fancy. They had a thirty dollar steak! That is ridiculous. But before you all think I'm insulting the place I'm not, because they have amazing food! It is SO good! She insisted that I dress up and let me tell you, that is NOT an easy feat for me. I'm really more the jeans and a sweater type of girl but I humored her :) I curled my hair. If I don't say so myself it looks pretty good!
Now, guess what I did in the place? I spilled my mango iced tea on the table! Of all places to be a klutz, why there?! Oh well, you got to embarrass yourself in public sometime! (And for me that seems to happen more often than not!) I had a pulled pork BBQ sandwich and mango cheesecake. It was so good.
After that, we had a few errands to do. I was supposed to rent a bunch of movies for tonight but, of course, the store was closed! Grr...but then Arielle pulled through for me and told me she'd bring a bunch of movies!
And I swear her family has so many movies and all the new ones too! They could run their own version of Netflix straight from their home!
On the way home I was wearing Arielle's bright purple sunglasses. I was talking about my orange ones at home and then she told me she had bought me some that would "supposedly" replace those. HA! Nothing can replace my orange sunglasses but we'll see.....
It all turned out to be a great day.

Sleeping Bag Funny Moment

Is it just me or when you say you're having a sleepover, sleeping bags are the obvious thing to bring? Yeah I thought so too. But apparently that's not the case because my mom has informed me that I have to tell everyone who's coming to bring their sleeping bags. It was pretty odd phoning up everyone and telling them to make sure they bring their sleeping bags! Haha. Just another funny moment curtosy of my family :)

Earthquake in Haiti

This is a long overdue post. As most of us know Haiti has undergone a HUGE earthquake and needs our help. It is an absolute tragedy in saying this but many people are homeless and starving. Anything you or anyone else you know can give, will help. It doesn't matter if it's ten dollars or one hundred dollars, every penny counts. Help the people of Haiti. I have a link to a very trusted source of donation, World Vision International. In fact, I have participated in their 30 hour famine which always a good way to donate to third world countries. Also, we have a sponsor child from their organization. So, if you want to give some family in Haiti some hope then donate at the link below :) You can also use the link on my sidebar to donate as well.

Garbage Fright

I don't know what's wrong with my puppies but they have the strangest fear of garbage bags or mostly the sound they make when you move them. The rustling just gets to them. As soon as we have to move a garbage bag and it makes the rustling sound, they get spooked and run into the deepest corner of the porch they can. It's absolutely hilarious! Strange but hilarious. Just the way that Hally will cower behind her "protective" brother, Ace is funny because as soon as the bag is rustled again, Ace will take off. So funny...
