Bring on 2009

2008 was great. I'm so glad its over.

Went a lot of places, and saw a lot of concerts.
I made some bad decisions and learned some lessons, paid some bills and almost won a wet t-shirt contest. (In no particular order)
Vacations in Mesquite and Moab, and Christmas in Florida...
And got really wasted on accident, a couple times, and went on some bad dates.

However, I don't have any god awful diseases, and I managed to not get knocked up, so... things are really great for me.

I hope 2009 is even better, and that I lose more than 8 pounds in twelve months.
I am so blessed... and spoiled...to have a great family and wonderful friends! I hope everyone has a wonderful 2009!
I am posting all of my favorite pictures - unless of course ya'll want to watch a slide show... you'd be at your computer desk for 13 days...

Tired folks.

Girls Night Out at Hannah Montana Concert

6 people. 8 cameras. 2,469 pictures of Disney World.

That is all. See you next year! BA HA HA Ha

love it.

You know when you're on a roller coster and its right about to drop 80 feet, whip around a sharp corner and do a double loop? ...and it tickles your pee-pee?

ITS LIKE THAT.

This. THIS tickles my fancy!

In case you cant see the picture I just filled up my tank for $17.00.

This hasnt happened since like, high school.

Its pretty mind boggling that I paid $50.00 for the same amount during the summer...

Happy Birthday to Me!

Mom: Good Morning Princess Amanda, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Me: Thanks Mom.

Mom: I cant believe you are 23! I remember it like it was yesterday. I was in labor for 3 days and I was crying, and I was carrying your carseat down the stairs to get ready to go to the hospital and I tripped and fell down the stairs...

Me: Umm...Gee thanks! You waited 23 years to tell me that story!? Why have I never heard this before!? That explains a lot.

Greetings!

I would like to announce that it is my birthday week! Yay for me!

The actual day that I came out of my mother's vagina would be 23 years ago tomorrow...

While I was in Disney World for christmas (more to come) I found this little beauty. And I plan on wearing it all day tomorrow... and I may actually wear it whenever the hell I want to.

Why, you ask? Because I can. And there are no rules that say I cant. And I would like to see someone try to stop me.

My birthday wish list includes:

Things that are flavored peach.

Peach flavored vodka.

Anything pink.

...or anything at all...

Over and out.

If you are located in Utah YOU HAVE GOT to go see this Christmas House!!!

There is this house in Murray, Ut where the owner has completely COVERED his house in Christmas lights - AND it is syncronized to music! It is a fun family activity, or in my case... really really bored driving around with a friend at night.

I know it sounds lame - but it is soo not! :) It is just off Vine and 5400 S.
The exact address is: 5631 Whispering Pine Circle (5631 South 820 East)

Now bundle up your offspring and do it! And then you can swing by my place and we can go get ice cream!

You know when you have a really hard booger in your nose that you cant get out no matter how hard you blow your nose, and no matter how far you can get your pinky up there!?

.:the end:.

I have the urge to cut my hair...

My new favorite thing to do when I'm bored is put celebrity hairstyles on my melon. Plus I have this incredible urge - again- to cut my hair...

So cast your vote on which one you like- or for the love, give me some ideas!

Short? Long? Dark Brown? Reddish brown? Light Brown?

Hair Crimes - take 2

Yes, sir... you are INDEED too old to pull this off.

And just in case I have been mistaken, and you are younger than you look...

Well then kids, this is todays prime example of why you shouldnt do drugs.

Yeah - this is my favorite. Classic case of denial.

I think it would actually be better to just go all the way and purchase a rug to go on your noggin - I can assure you it will look equally ridicuous.

Eew Eew EEW

What the hell is all that white stuff!!!???

Dear Santa -

I have been a very good girl this year! I really cut back on the swear words, not to mention carbs, as well.

I would like to spend Christmas somewhere that it doesn't snow.

AAand...I would like a hundred bucks. And if your fine with a hundred - would three or four be pushing it?? In fact, just give me your bank account number- I'll do it myself.

Thanks.

Over and out.

Your Favorite, @manda

P.S. Someone told me that your not really real. Is that true??
Because I would be DEVASTATED!

Pin-up Queen Bettie Page Dies at 85

Sad Day... I love this woman. She was so beautiful .

Bettie Page, the 1950s secretary-turned-model whose controversial photographs in skimpy attire or none at all helped set the stage for the 1960s sexual revolution, died Thursday. She was 85.

Page was placed on life support last week after suffering a heart attack in Los Angelesand never regained consciousness, said her agent, Mark Roesler. He said he and Page's family agreed to remove life support.

Before the heart attack, Page had been hospitalized for three weeks with pneumonia."She captured the imagination of a generation of men and women with her free spirit and unabashed sensuality," Roesler said. "She is the embodiment of beauty."

There is nothing like coming home from work at night to the delicious aroma of a home cooked meal!
The only problem is I dont get to eat any of it.
Is coming through the vents from the tiniest, sweetest little asian lady next door.
THROUGH THE VENTS. Every day. All the live long day. And I need to come up with a way to convince her to let me have some. Hmm...
When I really feel like pounding on the wall and yelling,
"HEY SHORTSTACK! PUT THE GARLIC AWAY OR I AM COMMIN OVER!!!"
One day my eyes were burning so bad from all the garlic I had to leave my house. Leave. MY HOME.
I dont think thats very fair. Maybe I should write a letter. The least she could do is have me come taste test.

Tonight it smells like... snFFFFFFFFFFt... like snffff snffffffff... Kung Po Chicken... with snffffff, with a peanut garlic sauce. Thats just cruel.
