Too Funny....

I haven't laughed this hard in a while.... Thanks Erica for bringing Silly back.

People still care?

The show is no longer on NBC or ABC, sadly it is only seen on CMT. Do people still care about this. I am not sure why i ever cared. I mean i know I was young, and this show might have been one of the many factors that helped me to hate my body and my big nose and my gap tooth.

But it is still on. I watched 6 minutes of it at Jimmy and Tamara's house. I guss the biggest question is, if I wss 30 in 1989 would I be into this, or was I just into this because I was 11. I can't figure out what is the deal with beauty pagents... i try and I don't get it, but Mario always looks good and it is a treat to see him, post the work he did on SBTB.

I love it....

I will finally have two roomates. I am excited. These are some of the pictures I took of my place to convince the Cali girl she wanted to live here, in my little slice of heaven.

First, I have an impressive aloe vera farm that I have started in my courtyard aka front porch. Does that seem sort of old ladyish to you? Well it should because I am a 30 year old lady.

I also love my couches. These couches used to be in my grandparents home in ephraim, now they are all mine. Ruby red with Gold flowers, very classy.

The three windows with the cute blinds, all my idea. If you can notice I have a little green down at the bottom. That is the Aloe farm creeping its way into my indoor living space.

BLOGS O the Past UpDATE...I didn't cry at Chiles today, my favorite home teacher gave me a cell phone circa 2003 and I couldn't find the fireside, so I just kept driving to churches in the vacinity, still couldn't find it, so I went back to my parents to watch LAw and Order Criminal Intent.

Free to do what I want any old time....

So i have looked at your blogs with the cute kiddos, hot or not so hot husbands. I have seen your Mormon dreams coming true in color and black and white. I have coveted the cute outfits you wear, as you are pregnant or loosing that baby fat, or looking good after the weight is lost. So now the tables have turned.... get ready to miss your single days and covet my life. REady?

I get to have hot hate makeouts (in 27 dresses it was sex, but we don't do that around these parts) with strangers (or men i meet at the institute, who take me on 3 dates and then we have a talk and cuddle while we are watching a movie, and then we decide to do back scratch traders and eventually one thing leads to a kiss... well you get the idea).

I get to teach or sub aka babysit the kids other people have had, I love getting disrespected by their spawn.

I can go on any trips I want (but then again, i don't really have the money, because I chose a career for the schedule aka it is in line with the kids school schedule, instead of for the financial benefits, so i don't really have any money to pay for trips...but i can go to payson or flagstaff and that is cool).

I get to meet interesting men all the time, and some are divorced with issues and/or with like 5 kids, and greasy, and intense, and if I am lucky they will consider wanting me, because lets be honest I am not getting any younger, and those recent high school graduates just stay the same age. I love the wishing and hoping part the best.

I can live any where I want, I don't have to worry what my better half wants. Ok this one is actually pretty sweet, if I had the balls to move anywhere cool and make it stick. However, i still have a life set up with friends and a social network, and it is hard to cut the chord.

Men compliment me all the time. But sometimes it is a mixed compliment. Like, "your long legs would look so great with a little more definition in them"...gee thanks.

I get to be an independent woman, and am free to do what i want any old time, it is seriously blissful 24/7, the mystery, the wonder, the fact that anything can happen (although it rarely does) keeps my spirits up.


So dont' go resenting me for my awesome lifestyle. I mean you made your choices now deal with em, while i am just over here loving, making all my Mormon dreams come true slowly. In all honesty I am in great spirits. Just a little sarcastic. I made a new resolution to not complain, i hope this didn't come across that way. I gotta go make it happen tonight so... Have a great weekend and Sabath and New Week.

I cried at Chilies

So, i guess the stress of being a waitress was too much for me to bare. First the table of Native American's didn't tip, and had me running like a fugitive(thanks bob marley, Iron Lion Zion) for Ranch and refills of Strawberry Lemonade. Then I forgot to put silverware on like 4 tables in a row, then I messed up the order and didn't order the boneless buffalo salad for a table of 8, causing the whole table to miss their movie. Then, i didn't know that you didn't get 2 side dishes with your half rack of ribs. Shoot. I wouldn't have cried, except a fellow co-worker was like, "what's wrong with you"... when he asked that question, in the heat of the kitchen, and deep into my stressful 3rd shift without a trainer, my head started spinning with responses. And the biggest kicker, I am 30 and I work at Chiles'. The funny part about it, is I felt fine before and after the mid-shift cry. Oh well, now i am the girl who cried at Chiles just adding to the many dimensions that make me, for better or worse, me. Where is your most embarassing cry? Come on make a girl feel better.

Quiz time

What's Your True Color?

My Result: Red

Your color is red, the color of racy sportscars, blushing cheeks, and luscious roses. Red symbolizes passion, romance, and love. So, since you're ruled by red, you probably trust your feelings more than your brain and tend to act spontaneously. If you see something you want, you go for it without thinking twice — impulsive is your middle name. You don't wait around for people to make decisions, either; you dive right in. Quite the romantic, you pay close attention to your emotions. In fact, if your heart isn't in what you're doing, you won't be satisfied. Of course, even when you do pour all your energy into the projects you tackle, your impetuous nature means your passions can shift as frequently as the wind. That's why some reds have trouble with commitment. Our advice? Next time you're feeling fickle, think before you act, if possible. You might be surprised at the results. Overall, though, it's great to be red. No one lives life more completely than you do.

You Belong in London

A little old fashioned, and a little modern. A little traditional, and a little bit punk rock. A unique soul like you needs a city that offers everything. No wonder you and London will get along so well.

What City Do You Belong In?

Many Faces... One City. City of Mesa Parade with the parents.

Civil Rights have always been important to me. You want proof. Well there I was cheering for unity, and getting candy, and watching the jumprope club and Anonymous Dancers. I don't know what other proof you need. For some reason Dad, wanted to be a cowboy...we actually saw our old horse, Red in the parade. It was a good day, except when Sumo sent me a text that said, "Churches Chicken, watermelon, grape kool-aid at Candlelight Park at 12"... I knew there was a possibility he was messing with me, but that meal sounded too good. So there I was in the Element waiting for my Civil Rights Day feast, and yet it was a Joke. Blar, don't trick me with food. To another year of equality and making it count.

What would you Rather Eat.

The best thing to rather is food. Now I am going to be mild here with the rathers. I started out with two things I never want to eat ever. The first is stuffed olives with blue cheese. Hmm, the second is Vienna Sausages, now I went on a huge V.S. binge when I was 11. I couldn't get enough of those sausages and the juice they come packaged in Yummy.

The next choice is between Split Pea soup, my absolute favorite. I just adore the texture. And Menudo, which is a latain pop sensation and a soup they serve at Filibertos. In my mission we had a similar dish to Menudo. It was called, "potato soup with a part of a chicken's anatomy that you don't want to eat". You see every bowl the was on the table would have a different part of the chicken, and the thing was all the good parts were gone, so there I was knawing on a chicken head or foot. Menudo is cow stomach soup I think.

Help, I am poor and need to communicate...

Hey guys. I dropped my phone in water a few months ago, so I started using my old one. That lasted for one call when I realized that the people on the other end, cannot hear me. Then I used AK's phone, but it would only hold a charge for 2 hours max. Then 2 days ago my brother Van remembered he had an old phone with the screen broken, but it worked fine besides that. My mom just told me, Van broke both outside and inside screens of his phone today while he was snowboarding. He jacked his wrist too, but I don't really care about that. So he needs his phone back. Ok, so we already know that the love Gods conspire against me, but now I am pretty positive the cell phone Gods are conspiring. So the point is, if anyone has any old T-mobile phones with chargers lying around, that they need no more... I would love to have em. I just slide that sim card in and I got a phone. Seriously, and the more the better, because I gotta have backups. For reals. Just shoot me a comment or an email and if you want a finders fee, I guess I could handle that.

Please search your junk drawer and your heart. Jodi gots to communicate.

OFFICIAL WHO WOULD YOU RATHER WEEK... EVERYONE GOTTA COME CLEAN

I love the game who would you rather. It changed my life. So I am giving the next 3 days of my blogging to who would you rather. The thing is you gotta comment, and tell me who you would rather. I promise it is gonna start out slow, and then get better and better. Now back in the day, we just kept it simple. Then, people wanted definitions, like someone would say, "who would you rather what". Baby, I am not about definitions, unless it is defining the relationship talk. Just let the rather be whatever you want it to be. And as always Suicide is not an option, you gotta answer. Love always, happy rathering Jodi.

So Today we have two games going. Kevin Costner has curb appeal...only because of his role in Dances With Wolves, hearing the word "Tatanca" aka Buffalo still gets me all naturalistic. He is in an intense battle for our vote against Steve Martan is he a Mormon, is it all just a publicity stunt... we don't know, and honestly we don't really care.

In our second game we have Lavar Burton who by the way was the first black man I was ever attracted to. He was the star of Reading Rainbow, and when he talked about books, Yowsers, i was in". He is facing David Spade, I am not sure if anyone remembers how funny this man was. But that 'Tommy Boy' was a good time.

PS... I am not even kidding, I am all adoring Lavar surrounded by books. What a HOTTIE
