Tagged But Not

I saw this tag on Amy's blog and decided I would do it to keep myself entertained at work. It's one of those days!!

2 favorite names: I'm assuming this would be names for future children...Gibson and Berkley

2 favorite months: December...minus the weather this is the best month because it's Christmas and I get to spend time with my family. Plus I get to take two weeks off of work!! I love summer, so in that case I would choose August because that's probably the hottest month of the year.

2 favorite foods (and you can't say Pizza): Sweat and Sour Meatballs with Rice & Ice Cream

2 favorite stores: I think everyone knows the answer to this one, but Banana Republic...hummm....probably the Buckle.

2 favorite activities: running and working (if you call that an activity)

2 favorite huggers: My nieces and nephews

2 favorite conversationalists (besides spouse): There are too many to list for this one...maybe because I like to talk so much. Love talking to my parents about everything and anything; chatting with my sisters is always a good time...I think that I would be a little lost if I didn't talk to Kristi every day. As of late my evening conversationist is up there on the list of favorites...you know who you are!! ;)

Making the Most

I feel like I don't have much of a life right now and therefore don't have a whole lot to blog about, although I have been really happy with my schedule lately. I've been spending a lot of time thinking about this place and can hardly wait to plan a trip back...when...I'm not quite sure yet, but hopefully really soon!!

Gossip Girl

I'm a big fan of this show right now...I just finished the first season and don't know what I'm going to do until the second season is finished and out on DVD!! I've tried watching online, but it doesn't seem to work for me because I don't live in the US. Maybe there is somewhere else I can look in the mean time. I love that it takes place in NYC; the characters are charming, witting, manipulative, catty, back stabbing, stuck up, which seems to create the drama that everyone is hooked on!!

30 Day Shred

Anyone who is looking to lose some of those extra holiday pounds need to try this video. I started the day after Christmas and find that it tones in all the right places. Since watching the Biggest Loser, I always thought that Jillian Michaels would be the ultimate fitness trainer and now I can get a little taste of that!!

Christmas Bliss!!

My two week Christmas break was well needed and nice that I only had to use 2 vacation days to get that much time off. I had such a great time with my family and really couldn't have asked for better!! It started by making the trek down to Southern Alberta on Sunday, spending the majority of Monday in my pjs at mom and dads house before making the treacherous drive down to Utah on Tuesday. The roads weren't as bad going down as we had anticipated and having my dad behind the wheel put my anxiety at ease. It was great to have the opportunity to spend the holidays with Rob, Amy and their sweet little ones...couldn't have asked for a better way to spend Christmas. We did a lot of relaxing, a lot of eating, shopping, playing the wii (when one was found that actually worked) and just being together as a family. As good as it was to be away and spend some well needed time away it was also good to be back in the frigid city of Edmonton...back in my own house, sleeping in my own bed!!

The Ongoing Resolutions!!

I had a fabulous year in 2008, but I know that 2009 will be just as great if not the best year for none other then ME!! The Christmas break brought so many lasting memories from the drive down to Utah, to the time spent with family (will update that later), the weather couldn't have been any worse, celebrating G. Nilsson's birthday, ringing in the new year with my favorite little sister, being back in my own house...sleeping in my own bed!!

Now it's time to make those goals that seem to be the ongoing for the past and upcoming year...

1. Give up the diet Soda
2. Train for the SLC half marathon
3. Go on at least 3 trips this year...SLC in April, NYC, Hawaii
4. Read and study scriptures daily
5. Work on morning prayer
6. Make dinner at least 3 times a week
7. Take lunch to work at least 3 times a week
8. Get married!!
