Coming this sunday I am moving back to STG and into our

"summer home" there but will only live there for a week

and a half before I can move into my apartment!

I love moving! It's a great chance to get rid off

Tattle Me Tuesday #6

T.M.T.

I ♥ underware!

I could buy it every day of the year and be just fine!

When I'm stressed, I buy panties,

When I want to treat myself, I buy panties,

When I'm depressed, I buy panties!

I don't know why, but underware is the equivalent to ice cream for me.

It is the answer to all my problems and makes everything better!

Even though no one sees my underware,

When I buy a new pair I feel like I am floating on Cloud Nine

And just like Victoria, for that one day,

I too have a secret!

My favorite place to buy underware from is

none other than the famous

Do you know her secret?

Tattle Me Tuesday #5

T.M.T.

I L.O.V.E. TO READ!!!

I could sit, and do when I have the free time,

and read for hours!

Right now I'm in the middle of a 10 book series

and I don't want it to end!

The characters in the book have become intimate

friends to me and I will long for their companionship

once they are gone!

When a donkey brays,

do you always think it's sayin somethin important?

Tattle Me Tuesday #4

When I get tired and am ready to go to bed,

I rub my feet in circles on the floor!

I don't know why or when I started doing this

but my ex-boyfriend pointed it out that I do it and 

that's how he always knew I was ready to go home!

 I find it quite funny, and odd at the same time!

What are your weird quirks?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOTHER DUCK!

Friday was my Mother Duck's birthday!

I wasn't home on Friday so I'm posting a

Happy belated birthday post!

Me and Mother Duck at "Chuck Wagon"

LtoR: Crinkle, Mother Duck, Lucille, Me!

LtoR: Mother Duck, Lucille, Me, Crinkle

Mother, Mother Mother Duck,

I just wanted you to know that I love you.

You are the best Mother Duck a little "quacka"

like me could ever ask for!

I'm so glad I was here to celebrate your birthday with you this year!

I love being able to see you everyday and play with you all the time!

Thank you for everything that you've taught me!

I look forward to learning so much more from you in the future!

I LOVE YOU!

Tattle Me Tuesday #3

I L.O.V.E. to people watch.

I've been labeled as "one of those weirdo's that would go sit on a park

bench and watch people for my afternoon entertainment"

People entertain me and I love to watch them.

I once worked at a kiosk in a VERY dead mall and I

enjoyed sitting at my kiosk watching the few who people who

WOULD come into the mall

and I would make up stories about their lives!

What're you lookin at ya hockey puck?

Tattle Me Tuesday #2

Since I missed T.M.T. last week I shall "tattle"

on myself twice today!

I LOVE pouring hot water onto the mounds of ice that form

in the drink machine at work and watching the ice melt!

For some reason it intrigues me!

It's one of my favorite parts of work!

WELCOME TO THE HIMILAYANS,

POPSICLE

Wishing my dearest POPSICLE a very happy birthday!

Thank you daddy for everything you've done for me in my life!

Thank you for teaching me everything that you have and for being

An amazing example for me to follow!

to have you as a dad! You are an amazing erson and anyone
who has the privelage of getting to know you is blessed

Forever. Thank you for being so thoughtful
 and for teaching me to be helpful

And accepting of others!

Year! Thank you for making my life so fabulous!
I love you Popsicle, SO MUCH!!!!!!

Thanks for being the best daddy a little girl could ask for!

No matter where I go, I'm never too far to be daddys little girl!

"Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture,

And save it from the funny tricks of time."

Say what's the difference between spaghetti and spagathoni?

urbandictionary.com

Today on facebook there was a post that suggested

you to go to urbandictionary.com and see what

it said your name meant.

All you do is type in your {first} name and it will

bring up a total random list of "definitions"

Here are a couple of results it gave for my name!

MARISSA

1) Marissas of the world are 92% hot, and bangen

2) A little cute girl with big eyes and a
big heart that everyone loves

3) The girl who makes your {head turn} and your {heart ache}

she will {drive you mad}.... and watch out. she is {feisty}

4) She is the hottest girl around and will {always} be there for you.

 She is {amazing} {gorgeous} {funny} {sweet}

everything a guy could want in a girl.

No other girl could ever compete with her,

and she will {always} be someone's number one.

She always makes your head turn as she passes you buy in the hall.

She is like a magnet for your eyes.

she is like a rainbow on a cloudy day,
or a sun rise after a dark night.

When she walks in a dark room she lights up

 the entire room just with her smile.

when you see her you can not help but {wish}
you had her in your arms.

She has the most {beautiful} eyes you {wish}

you could just sit and stare into them for hours on end.

She has a {beautiful} body and anyone who doesn't have her

is jealous of the guy that does.

The guy that has her knows he is not good enough for her,

for nobody is good enough for her

she is an {angel}that fell from heaven and no normal guy,

like anyone on this planet, can ever hope to have her.

she is a goddess among humans.

She is everything!!

5) A Marissa typically has a smile that
{only a poem} can do justice to,

and the cutest giggle when she knows she

hits the spot with a clever comment.

Her personality can {comfort} you,

everything from a nice hug to a long distance call,

Marissas are typically the spunkiest girls around.

I'm ok with that,

(defintions found here)

Tattle Me Tuesday!

I have decided to start a new thing called

TATTLE ME TUESDAY!

On TMT I will tattle on myself and tell all of you something

totally quirky and random about me!

So for the first TMT I am going to confess to you, my obsession with

DRUM ROLL PLEASE.....

BUBBLE WRAP!!!!!

I have found that there are few things in this world

that can instantly make me happy just by seeing it

and bubble wrap is one of them!

I am asking for a

{HUGE}

roll of bubble wrap for my 22 birthday!

SO if any of you would like to send me some,

that would be pretty RADTASTIC!!!

Lookin for some good POPPIN fun,

Tiffani I LOVE YOU Herpel

I would just like to tell you all how I love my dear friend Tiffani!

She is inspiring and always so positive!
She makes me smile and lights up every room she
walks in to with her radiant attitude!

Thank you Tiffani for being my friend.
 Even though we've been told we aren't good for each other.
Compliments of {Mrs. Braumberger}

because we would laugh too much in her class.
Thank you for filling my life with positivity.
Once upon a time you were my dear friend
and I hope that that once upon a time keeps happening
while it's happening cause it's a wonderful

once upon a time to take part in
and we still need to go get sloshed together.

Thank you for finding humor in me
and for always having a welcoming smile

and words of wisdom to send my way.
You are beautiful.
Joe is lucky.
You are the best!

Don't ever tell anyone that you're less than amazing
cause if you ever listen to that load of poop
I'll just have to kick you in the shins and run away...
then come back to see if you're ok.

Thank you for everything you've taught me in life.
I look forward to learning many more life lessons

from you in the future.
I hope that our adventures {never} end.
I still wanna be just like you when I grow up!

You are beautiful,

I hope you don't mind that I stole this pic! :)

Happy Thoughts

I attended my best friends wedding 2 weeks ago

and as I was browsing through my pictures of the experience

I found this picture

As I was standing outside the SLC temple awaiting

the {bride and groom}

I happened to catch a glimpse of what I would like to call, a

ROCKIN GRANDMA!!!

She was sporting a spunky, upbeat attitude in her

{FISH NET TIGHTS}, leather jacket, knee length pleeted skirt,

and sweet black pleather gloves.

She had more energy than a 12 yr. old school girl

and she brought a smile to my soul! 

I couldn't help myself, I had to {capture the moment}

 and snap a shot of the wonderful woman! 

Thank you ROCKIN GRANDMA for making my day brighter!

Look out you dirt bags, eat my dust,

TOY STORY!!!!

I must express my {love} for the movie Toy Story.
It is amazing and seem to find myself quoting it at least once a day!

I find it to be witty and quite commical!

Toy Story

Some of my favorite quotes:

1. You are a sad, strange little man,

you have my pitty, FAREWELL

2. I don't believe that man has ever been to medical school

3. Hannah, Janie's all better now

4. SID YOUR POPTARTS ARE READY

5. Alright mister LITE BEER prove it!

6. Doctor you've done it!

7. Hey, who moved my doodle pad way over here?

8. Sucking down darjiling with Marie Antoinette and her little sister

9. Tell me the hat looked good, the apron was a little much

 but tell me the hat looked good
