Books!

I have always loved to read and lately I have been on a reading kick, so right now I am looking for opinions on books I should read. Anyone have any suggestions for me?! It would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Utah Jazz

I finally made it to a NBA basketball game! It was Oklahoma City Thunder playing in Utah. My mom got some tickets through her work so she gave them to me. My dad and I made a trip to Utah to watch the game. They weren't the best seats but they were free so why not?! Plus I LOVE Kevin Durant so of course I wanted to go even more!!!
The pictures aren't the best but that is the tip off, which Oklahoma won!
That is the back of #35, which is of course, Kevin Durant! I had a good time watching him play! :)
Kevin Durant is the one with the towel over his head! I couldn't pass up the opportunity of taking the picture with him like that!

I don't have the picture up yet, but Kevin Durant was the leading scorer in the game, out scoring Carlos Boozer, 24-21 I believe. :)

I have wanted to go to a game with my dad for a long time so I am glad we finally got to. I was the only one cheering for Oklahoma (that I know of) but I had fun. Yes, the Jazz won but Oklahoma at least made a ball game out of it in the second half by outscoring the Jazz 35-20 in the 3rd quarter. They lost by about 7, even though Oklahoma jumped to a 8-0 lead in the first quarter. Not sure what happened after that. As soon as they lost the lead the Jazz were well over 20 before Oklahoma finally was higher than 10. Oh well. I had so much fun and I am glad I finally got to go! It was a spur of the moment trip planned Friday morning when my mom got a hold of the tickets and my dad and I came home after the game, so we got home at close to 2 in the AM, but it was definitely worth it! Thanks for going with me dad!

Get Smart!

I just had a wonderful time at the movies with my parents. We decided to go see Get Smart. Let me just say that I think its my new favorite! Or at least it goes in the top 10! It was so funny! I loved it! My mom and I were laughing almost none stop for 2 hours, whereas my dad didn't start laughing until about an hour into it. I don't know what his deal was! :) It was a good laugh, something I needed! I'm very glad I went. Oh and we got in free, you can't beat that!!!

Evening of 9 Ball!!

My mom and I decided to play a couple games of 9 ball tonight to have some fun! We played with our hoochie-mahadas, otherwise known as pool cues. Ya my mom was saying something and that is what came out! You've got to love her vocabulary! :)

We played in our matching boots-which we bought earlier in the evening! We were going to see if you could guess which feet belonged to which person but we thought it would be kinda easy to guess-given that she never wears anything but basketball shorts! :)
We decided to see who could shoot better behind their back...
Ya I think I won!!! :) haha Ya I have no idea who won..probably her actually..but then again we both messed up quite a bit tonight. You should have seen the shot when I missed the cue ball completely. Funny I know! :)
This is what the table looks like when I win! Yes believe it or not I went 3 for 3 tonight!!! Good times! Oh and ask my mom she'll even tell you I won! :)

I'm tagged again!

I'm tagged again, I've got to get better at this game! :)

Thanks Shelby! Who by the way, I have more in common with than I thought!

My 6 unspectacular quirks!

1. I have OCD when I play cards. In solitaire I have to have the Aces in a certain order.

2. When I play cards with people, if I get the chance I put them all the same direction or if they are face up I put them in an order, normally counting.

3. I have to do things in even numbers. Like eating mints. I hate odd numbers!!

4. If I hear a funny story or come up with a funny line, I have to call Cortney to tell her.

5. I love sleep. I like to sleep a lot. I can go without it but I'd rather not! I NEED my sleep..like lots of it!!!

6. I say sorry all the time and my friends yell at me for doing this! But I can't help it. Sorry.

I tag: Brittany, Amber, Kristen, Lisa, Alisa, Geri

Kid Mentality

Don't you love those little things you thought and believed as a kid? And how sometimes those ideas stayed with us so that when something happens to make you reflect back on them they bring a smile to your face? Like:

Santa Claus is real and he used to bring presents to you once a year!
That your Dad is the best Superhero in the whole wide world and nothing can hurt him!
Or just putting a Bandaid on your owie made it feel better!
And how Fairytales always have a happy ending!

Well as you get older you realize the truth about everything. Like:

Why would Santa, a fat guy in a suit that you've never met before want to bring you presents?
That your Dad isn't a Superhero but is still your Hero.
Or when you put a bandaid on your owie it just numbs the pain momentarily but your owie might start hurting again when you take the bandaid off.
And life isn't a Fairytale.

We all wish we could keep those thoughts and beliefs we once had forever but reality hits and the truth sinks in and we learn that as we get older life gets harder and our thoughts and beliefs change. But do they? While we can't stop our lives from changing, why can't we keep our "Kid Mentality" and live more in the moment? Like:

Why can't Santa be real? How else do all those presents get under the tree?
That even if your Dad can't fly he will still be there to catch you when you fall. That makes a real Hero.
Or if Bandaids really do numb the pain while they're on, why take them off at all before your owie is healed?
And why not make life a Fairytale and have it end how you want? Every Fairytale at one point had some bad stuff in the story line too!
