It's Official...

I am a sicko.

This realization came to me just as I was finishing breakfast.

You see, I love ketchup.

This may be an understatement. I could eat a whole bottle by myself in a month, easy. I'm the kid who, when you're at a picnic or BBQ, grabs a burger and squirts a normal amount of ketchup on my burger. Then I look around to make sure no one's watching. If they are, then I move on the mustard and I'm sad. But if they're not...globs of it get smothered. It drips out the sides and I have to make sure I'm always watching the edges while I'm eating or else those little dribbles will give me away.

I realized just how bad it was when this morning I made hashbrowns for breakfast, just so that I could eat ketchup. And then...

I licked my plate.

White Shirt

It must be a curse

I can NEVER wear a white shirt without spilling something on it.

Note: I'm wearing a white shirt today.

But...

SURPRISE

I spilled on my pants this time.

I looked down and saw some lovely streaks of chocolate and thought "Oh gosh, how long has that been there?"

The shirt still looks good though.



For your viewing pleasure :D

I smelled like a smoker

Saturday night Aaron and I went up Provo Canyon to go camping--minus the tent and sleeping. We camped until about midnight and then went home to our bed and shower. I honestly think that's the way to go. You get the campfire, hobo dinners, and s'mores without waking up fifty times in the middle of the night and being scared to go to the bathroom even though you really have to, because who knows what could be outside?

--I'm sorry there are no pictures. There are people who never go anywhere without their camera, I am one of those people who never goes anywhere WITH my camera (even my own honeymoon. Yes, it's true. We have one picture taken from my camera on my phone.)

We had gone up to this park before in December, while we were engaged, and loved it. There was NO ONE there (which, now that I think about it, makes sense since it was the winter time).

There was a family reunion this time.

But we were not to be deterred. We found this trail that wound through the trees and made our own little campsite. It was perfect, but the aura of camping was somewhat ruined because we could hear all the cars driving up the canyon.

The bugs decided that our hobo dinners smelled too good to be left alone. I held the flashlight in my teeth so that I could see the bugs that drowned in my ketchup.

I still smell like smoke. It could be my desire to have the fire as big as possible--but we'll say that it's because I'm trying to keep mosquitoes away.

It didn't quite work. I have a HUGE mosquito bite on my cheek, that looks just like a zit, but it's not! I want to wear a sign that informs people of this fact, that way, no one thinks that I'm disgusting enough to sprout a zit the size of a nickel on my face.
