Dunk Tank Thursday.

This whole blogging everyday is exhausting.  If you didn't get the chance to see my dunk tank experience, see it here.

Good day.  Cleaned the office.  The day went quickly.  Got dunked in a dunk tank.  Ate cotton candy.  Got exercise in for the first day all week.  Spent time with Reuben, who fixed my car window, and hung my new plant that he bought me yesterday.  I am truly spoiled!

Sweet Sixteen

Hey, it's the sweet sixteenth of the month.  What fun did you have today?  Eat any sweets?  I had cake and Mambas.

Here are Sixteen Sweet Things about Alice, which you may or may not have already known:
1.  Alice sometimes throws away food because she will eat it all if she doesn't.  Today it was M&Ms.
2.  Alice is addicted to Twitter and People Magazine.  She is a celebrity nut.
3.  Alice loves sports.  She is very excited about baseball season and the NBA Playoffs right now.
4.  Alice is right handed.
5.  Alice accidentally drank out of a coworkers water bottle today because she thought it was hers.
6.  Alice is a ball baby and is very sensitive at times and cries.
7.  Alice plays first base when playing softball.
8.  Alice is 5'9" tall.
9.  Alice will be dunked in a dunk tank tomorrow at school.
10.  Alice is superstitious.  She often thinks Packer games are going bad because she is watching.
11.  Alice loves burgers and fries.
12.  Alice has a bazillion hooded sweatshirts(Alice also likes to use bazillion at least once in each of her posts lately.  Who knows why?)
13.  Alice Rocks at Guitar Hero.
14.  Alice loves cool sayings and has many t-shirts with silly things on them.  Her favorite is the T-Rex one that says: "T-Rex hates push-ups."
15.  Alice loves to fish but doesn't like to keep fish because then she would have to gut them.(She is also very happy to soon have a new husband that will probably do the gutting for her!)
16.  Alice will have a new Yorkie dog in her life after being married and Reno is growing on her, but she also thinks she will have to do both some puppy training and owner training.

Well, that is all I got for tonight.  Need to get to sleep.

Cheers.

Payday is a very special day.

...especially when you forget to check your bank account and overdraft. Thank heavens for the line of credit that bailed me out! Whew!

Here is the list of the day and then I must be off to sleep:
15 things in the room with me now:
1. My TV with Inside the NBA on in the background.
2. Laptop ready to quickly check Facebook before sleeping. (I really want to invest in Facebook. Any comments/thoughts about that?)
3. My running shoes. I did put them on in hopes of getting a run in earlier. It was more important to chat with my seester!
4. Huge exercise ball. I need to be better about my knee exercises.
5. My Guitar Hero guitars and drums.
6. Green Bay Packet lamp and gnome.
7. My blanket that my grandma made. I often am chilly.
8. My journal.
9. A glass of water.
10. A bazillion remotes.
11. Piles of papers to sort through. Still looking for the time to get to it.
12. My scriptures. I need to make more time for reading and meditation.
13. Movies galore.
14. Kisstixx. His and her Chapstick. They are pretty cool. All Reuben's idea!
15. Baseball Easter basket. I think it will be the money collector at my reception. P.S. We are not registering and really want cash. I guess that isn't proper etiquette to include in invitations so I am putting it out there here. Hope it's not offensive.

Have a great day. Cheers.
