Happy Hauntings!

In the spirit of Halloween, I thought I would share something with you all. I thought it was hilarious and wonder how I would truly react if this happened to me. 

I also can't stop laughing at this video. It's so funny!

  HAPPY HAUNTINGS!

duck... duck... GOOSE!

My friend Ashley tagged me in her blog and now I must submit the questions that she has asked. So, here they are:

What is your most embarrassing moment?

"K, have a good day. Don't fall on your face!

I regret to inform you that I cannot tell my MOST embarrassing moment, however, I can tell you my second most embarrassing moment. It was when I was in high school and I was running late for school. I had recently learned that if I was late for class one more time, I'd fail. So of course, as I jumped out of the car that cold, snowy morning I ran for my life or for my grade rather. I had currently been sort of dating this guy at school and as I was running, I slipped on the snow, or ice, whatever it was, and ate it. It was like slow-motion. My books and notepads were flying in the air, my body flailing though the snow. It of course had to be those last couple minutes before the bell rang that everyone was always just getting to school too. It was like rush hour traffic, but for high school kids. Well, remember that guy I told you about? Well, his best friend saw it all. He pointed and said, "Is that Chelsea Dabling?!!" I was mortified. He laughed with his buddies and walked inside. Later that afternoon as I was limping into the commons area (Yes, I said limping. I ended up spraining my ankle during the fall) I saw that guy I liked. He was at his lunch table with all of his buddies. I started to walk away but he called me over. I didn't want to turn around. I knew they were all watching me. Ugh.. "Hey!" "Hey Chels! Uh hmm.. I heard you took quite a fall this morning.." then they all busted up laughing. Boys can be so mean. I walked away. I wanted to die then and there. That's it. That's my story.

Who, what, where, when, and how was your first kiss?

"My first kiss went a little like this..." This is actually pretty funny. When I was 14 years old, I had my first kiss with a boy named Dillon. I know some people who read this blog may know him. Sorry. That's kinda awkward. But it's over and done with now okay? So read and move on. Lol. Anyway, one weekend a friend and I were watching movies in a hut we made in the backyard. When all the sudden Dillon and his friend came by the fence and asked what we were doing. We told them we were watching a movie and they asked if they could come watch. We agreed. I have to admit, I had a crush on Dillon for a while. My friend and his friend went for a walk and it was just Dillon and I. I excused myself and went inside. I knew the "kiss" was coming and I wanted to prepare myself. I brushed my teeth and quickly put in a couple movies and tried to remember where the kissing scenes were. Finally, I found one. I watched and tried to remember what they were doing and got up the guts to go back outside. I'm surprised he was still there. It must have been 10 minutes or so. Haha! So, I sat back down next to him and just waited. Finally after a couple minutes he went in for the kiss. Our lips touched and then.. wait! What is this? It's slimy and gross! He stuck his tongue down my throat! I didn't plan for this! The movie I watched, didn't have tongue! GROSS! I didn't like it. I was appalled and we went back to watching the movie. Our friends came back after what seemed like forever and we said goodnight to the boys. I didn't kiss a boy for quite some time after that. Good thing too cause I was only 14!! Way too young. So that's my first kiss.

 

What is your favorite movie?

My favorite movie.. Hmmm.. I'm not really sure if I can answer that. I don't think I have just one favorite that I can narrow it down to. I have favorites in categories. My Girl is my favorite sad movie, When A Stranger Calls is my favorite scary movie. But come to think of it, I might have to say that the movie that makes me the happiest thus, probably making it my favorite may just be NACHO LIBRE! It's just too good.

If you only had 24 hours left to live, how would you spend it?

 George and I were just talking about this the other day actually. So, if I had just 24 hours left to live it would be with George and my family. Hands down.

What is your favorite thing to do to relax?

GET A MASSAGE/FACIAL. No question about it. But, if I didn't have the means to get myself a massage or a facial then I would have to say cuddle with my hubby.

 

What is your biggest pet peeve?

Old lady/man perfume or cologne. You know what I'm talking about. The kind that's just so strong that you take one whiff of it and you start coughing and choke on your own saliva because you have now inhaled it into your mouth. It doesn't even smell good either. Just rancid and old smelling. Ick! Come on people. Just because you can't smell it on you anymore, doesn't mean other people can't. We can. :) Very well. Don't sneak a bottle in your purse and put it on every 2 seconds. I mean, is it an attempt to be noticed? If so, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

 

Do you have a "list"
(you know, a hibbity dibbity one)
If so, who is on it?

Surprisingly enough, I do not have a hibbity dibbity list. I haven't ever thought much about it to compile a list. Sorry for being lame.

What is something that always makes you happy?

My nieces and nephews. No matter what, they're just innocent and precious. I love them so much. I got a text the other day from Crystal that said: "Katie was asking about you this morning. She said, "Mom, where did Chelsea go?" Then I said, "She went to Arizona." Then she interrupted me and asked, "With George?" I said, "Yes." She told me she just wants to run and say hi and love you real quick." Those are some of the precious moments that make me love them so much. I miss them and can't wait to see them for Christmas! Look at those faces. How can you not love these guys? I mean, honestly?

He must love me..

Recently George and I were at Target and I saw some cute bulbed lights that I decided I wanted  for our back porch. Needless to say, we walked away without them and life moved on. So, the other night George called me downstairs while I was studying. I told him it would have to wait until I finished testing, and that I only had 10 questions left. He told me to hurry because he had found the BIGGEST scorpion he'd ever seen. I, of course, out of curiosity, wanted to see. So, I finished up and went downstairs. He led me out back and there he had those cute bulbed lights set up that I wanted so badly and gave me a flower that he picked from our front yard. And of course, no scorpion. How romantic. My husband must truly love me. Dang, he's seriously just the best! :)

Capturing His Creations

I've been seeing a lot of beautiful scenery in Arizona since I've been here and decided that I'm going to start taking pictures of God's beautiful creations. I figure there are lots of people that appreciate things like this so, this is a start:

 "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork."   

          --Psalms 19:1

   

On my way home from work I saw this sunset that was so powerful. I was just lucky I didn't have to drive toward it. It would've been blinding.

So here, I was driving down the road the other day on a mad hunt for drapes for my windows and low and behold I found the most glorious rainbow I'd ever come across. It started out as a double then stretched across the whole sky. I couldn't retrieve a photo of the whole rainbow in one shot, so I took it in sections. People stopped to get out of their cars (like i did, I should've taken a picture of that) to get a picture of this rainbow. Then, I saw an airplane flying right next to it. AND THEN I went inside the store for a minute and came out and the sun had started to set and it became a beautiful color. It was amazing to say the least.

After I came out of the store, it had turned into this. :)

NO MAN'S LAND!

So, I live in "No Man's Land." I swear, I see my sanity dissipating slowly. I feel confined to a little piece of geographical land that I see myself trading my soul (or rather my time) for, for a shopping center. It doesn't even matter if that shopping center is full of computer parts or mattresses. I just want to be close to something with a city feel. I look out my back window and see palm trees and then... nothing. I live in a complex where our houses are so close together and yet there is SO MUCH space in between everything else outside of the complex. I feel claustrophobic. Which is weird cause there's nothing outside the complex. But, I want to see buildings go up around me and houses around them. I feel like I'm in a fishbowl, with only the same rocks to kick. All I know is I better not die old in this fish bowl. They need to start on something around here and QUICK! And if not, I think I might go crazy. Because driving 20 mins to get to a grocery store is just not going to cut it for me. I'm too used to having everything be so convenient for me. Grocery store in Utah... 5 mins away from my old house. Oh, Utah how I miss you. I miss the people there too. Even though I've only been here about 3 months, they seem much nicer in Utah. Here, not so much. WTF Arizona? You need to step your game up!

ZOEY AND FRESNO

Have I ever mentioned how much I just love our puppies Zoey and Fresno? Well, I do. George and I just went through some pictures of what they looked like when they were so new and little.. DANG they were cute! Well, unfortunately time passes all too quickly when they are little and start to become bigger and stronger and.. uglier? I don't think there's an easier way to say it. Unless I put it like this, you just can't compare a puppy to a dog. The puppy will ALWAYS win when it comes to adorability. Is that even a word? Anyway, I thought I'd post some recent pictures for my nieces and nephews and anyone else that wants to check them out. :)
