When I was younger, my friend Sarah and I used to try and listen to funny phrases people said. My brother-in-law and I used to do this also...Here's a few I can remember. They make me chuckle...cause people actually use these expressions.
1. We got smoked like a country ham!
2. It ain't worth a hill of beans to me.
3. Hot diggety dog!
4. Alrighty, buddy bear.
5. I don't like the way you "poo-pooed" my idea.
6. 5 dollars is not something to "sniff at"
7. Ooooohhh doggies!
8. Jumpin' Jehosephat
That's all I can remember right now...can you add to my list?!

10 Reasons I HATE Spiders
1. They have too many legs...Nothing should have more than 4 legs...
2. They not only creep but also scamper.
3. They can be hairy.
4. Nothing with 8 legs should be able to be coordinated to move that fast.
5. They make me wanna cry.
6. They hide in dark places.
7. Sometimes they crawl on you.
8. They make webs which stick to your face when you are hiking.
9. THEY ARE NASTY.
10.They make me look like a wimp and they give me nightmares. I seriously don't think I hate anything as much as I hate spiders.
What do you hate?

Meaningful Touches.
Guess from the list below what the optimal number of meaningful touches per day is.
a. One....a hug a day, keeps the blues away.
b. Two....a kiss in the morning, a kiss at night...it keeps us from having a fight.
c. Three..(I can't think of a stupid rhyme for this one)
d. Four...Now I implore...is it really just four?
e. Five...Five it's what keeps us alive.
f. Eight...Now that would be just GREAT.
*if you you guessed f you are correct! Do you remember any time in your life where you did not get enough meaningful touches a day? (ex..I'm talking about hugs, pats on the shoulder, kiss on the cheek) I remember in my early college days I would go MONTHS without a hug. I was in a new state, with no family and all my friends were brand new. I didn't really notice how much I missed hugs until I went home fulfilled my "eight meaningful touches" quota each day. Many female college student suffer from depression....do you think this could have to do with the fact that they are not getting enough meaningful touches? I know hugs always brighten my day...what do you think?

A FEW Things I Couldn't Live Without
1. Target.
2. Diet Coke with Lime (I even registered for it for my wedding at Bed, Bath and Beyond..I thought it would be a funny joke...the lady behind the counter looked at me like I was psycho)
3. iPod
4. Internet (although I'd probably get a lot more accomplished during the day without it)
5. Hoodie sweat shirts (especially gray ones!)
6. A Fan...I'm all about the white noise when I sleep.
7. facebook (I know, it goes along with the internet, but it's different)
8. jeans
9. ankle socks that fit snuggly
10. blankets...I love em....use them ALL the time.

Things people say at the gym...
so...this is a collection of things people decided to say to me at the gym...Mind you...I don't know most of these people!
1. Are you trying to show me up?!? (I was doing lat pull downs next to another guy doing the same thing...apparently I was lifting a lot of weight)
2. You're raising hell in here! (I was just in a hurry!)
3. Have you lost weight? (This is a person who saw me every day at the gym...I lost 1 or 2 lbs. over the weekend...it freaked me out that he could tell)
4. Do you use those foam rollers to get rid of cellulite?!?
5. After backing me into a corner...."YOU REALLY NEED TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL TO DO SOMETHING ELSE WITH YOUR LIFE (I was in school..taking microbiology at the time and applying for nursing school)
6. Did you know you are my fantasy?!? (ahhh..still very creeped out by that)
7. After being hit on by a very old man with funny sweat pants and steele toed boots I said "no offense...but you could be my grandpa" His reply "Trust moi-I'm better then your grandpa"
8. What gym stories do you have?

Decisions.
Decisions.
1. I can't make them unless it involves food.
2. I wish someone else could just decide for me.
3. I've changed my mind on what I want to do with my life at least 4 times in the last 6 years.
4. Before I changed my mind 4 times.....I just couldn't decide on anything to decide about.
5. I wish I had a little gnome that whispered in my ear and told me which wedding chapel to decide on.
