Anyone up for a little Holiday Shopping?!?

So Shaylyn a few days before Thanksgiving texts me and says...Hey lets go shopping on Black Friday, and I was like um....are you crazy?! Haha anyway I saw an ad for $1.50 from Walmart and DVDs are kind of a weakness of mine so i decided that we could go...so 8' o clock thanksgiving night we get to walmart and stalk out all the goodies we want to get and slowly more and more people come and they start crowding in, even though I was one of the first peeps in front of the movies i got shoved to the back somehow...well I know how, its because i am really not a very aggressive person and just let people walk all over me...which mixed with black friday doesn't make for much success! Shaylyn and I had a game plan, she was gonna start with all the television series and I was gonna start with all the majorly cheap dvds and we were gonna work are way towards eachother in the midde...needless to say the plan although brilliant in theory, it didn't work when the clock struck 10 and it turned into complete and utter chaos! Brindy joined us right before the madness began and she freaked out once everyone went bat crap crazy, I was in the very middle of the mess getting thrown to and fro and Brindy was in the back of the crowd yelling for me to get out of there and telling me to take my scarf off, because she was afraid i was going to be strangled by CRAZED shoppers! hahaha it was the most fun I have EVER had shopping! Next black friday i might be a little more aggressive because now i feel like quite the pro! BRING IT ON BLACK FRIDAY 2012! haha but even though it was a mad house i think we all came out pretty good... i ended up with 22 new dvds! hahaha not bad, not bad at all! hahaha

i went SKYDIVING, rocky mountain climbing

So over the 24th of July my friends and I decided to jump out of a plane just for the fun of it, and let me tell you it was FUN! I would totally do it again! We went up to Ogden and they put us in our jumpsuits, put us on a little plane, strapped us to our instructer and then threw us out of a plane at 30,000 feet! Pretty exhilarating stuff if i do say so myself! While we were on the plane my instructer decided to make me the test dummy for the rest of the group and show exactly what was going to happen, so amongst my already panicking state he tossed me around the plane like a rag doll and what did i do? I just laughed uncontrollably! So you are suppose to walk to the edge of the door so only your heels are in the plane, put your goggles on, lean back as far as you can and then hurl yourself out of the plane! I did so good on all....except for one, i forgot to put my dang goggles on, so all the while i was hurling down towards the ground, i could barely see anything because the wind was rushing into my eyeballs! No worries though, i got them on eventually...after we had pulled the shute and i DIDN'T need them anymore! hahaha oh well what are you gonna do?! Anyway if you have ever thought about skydiving, I say DO IT! It was definitely the most adrenaline pumping thing I have ever done!

TORTIE TORTIE TORTIE!

This is what Sheldon will someday look like! Right now he is the size of the tiny one on the back of the medium sized one! hahaha I am so excited that he is going to be ginormous one day!


SO I guess I should tell you who Sheldon is...well he is MY VERY OWN pet TORTOISE! Let me tell you he is my favorite thing ever! I love him soooo much! He is just precious! He has the cutest lil legs you will ever see! I have a story to go with him... so my mom is not really a big fan of pets, period! She just is anti-pet for some reason, don't ask me why, i just think she is freaking crazy sometimes but oh well... anywho, my friends and I just stopped at a pet store randomly and I saw SHELDON! I have been wanting a tortoise for about 7 years now...ever since I had a vet tech class and my teacher had one that stayed in her garage! I always thought that was the coolest thing ever! So on a crazy whim i decided to get him, just one problem though...my mom would never allow me to have him, i mean she wouldn't even let me get a gold fish, so what did I do? I snuck him in! ;) Everything was going awesome I had him an entire month before my mom decided to put something away in my room and she found him! And that is when the crap hit the fan! She told me to move out! Over a teeny tiny tortoise that she didn't even know i had for an entire month! CRAZINESS i tell you! Anyway I had my pops and my sisters on my side so eventually things calmed down and I get to stay and so does SHELDON! YAY!

I named him Sheldon, not only because he has a shell but also because my favorite show is Big Bang Theory and Sheldon looks like Sheldon! I am absolutely in love with him! Which is a good thing because he will be around for a VERY long time! Im gonna have to put him in my will to my Children or grandchildren...if i ever have any...haha but he cost 100 smackaroos but i think that is a pretty sweet deal because it averages out to be 1 dollar a year of his life...not to shabby! I think he is the cutest thing ever and i am so excited that in a few years when he is bigger i will be able to put him on a leash and take him on walks around the hood! It is going to be fabulous, but right now i will just carry him around in my hoodie pocket!
