mmm...

i am eating an avocado with chips right now. It is very delicious.

i feel bad

i forgot about the blog and i just remembered it. so i am posting something now.

I am still very excited because for my birthday i got a new camera and i have been going sort of crazy with it. I have had it for a month and i already have 1100 pictures. I don't know how. like just today i took 250 pictures. Well, anyway, i just bleached my hair and so now it is very blonde. Here are some pictures.






I also went box crazy...you can have boxes and shipping supplies shipped to you from dhl.com. I got a lot of them. I got lost in a global mailbag. That is what this picture is of.

Hye Soo and the Magic Bean!


So this is my magical plant that my mom gave me! It grows a bean and will reveal a fortune! So I began to water it and a bean just popped up! No stalk though...weird...but at least I got the bean!
I forgot to water it a couple days so I don't know if it was supposed to look this way but I thought it looked kind of funny....and weird.

Then I watered it some more and the shell cracked so I took the bean out and there it was....Long Life!And it also had this weird sun thing on the back....

It's funny cus "Soo" means long life....weird huh! I guess me and this bean were meant to be...it was destiny!

My College Experience





Me and my roommates were bored so we decided to take some pictures......we had a little too much fun. Also I got bored with my hair.....So I decided I should chop it off and donate it to Locks of Love.....It was really becoming a problem....It was so long it was touching my bum in the shower...which personally I think is gross and it would get caught in my arm pit....along with getting caught in everything else...it was time to go. I think of it like a snake shedding it's skin...and so I am shedding my hair.

oh yeah...i went bowling too.

The great blog...

I want you all to know what a beautiful place this is...Utah...on Sat. night water fell from the sky forever & the sky blanketed this great white dust all over the mountains...Rich decided we should take a "guitar poster " drive...we thought that the leaves would be changing that firey red & orange & we'd miss it if we didn't go today...well the change had bearly started....hot flecks of red & orange, but not very many...actually there was more of the very lush grass green because of the rain....the great beauty of the cliffs, shrubs, trees, blue sky, & white mountain dust was astounding..it was so stunning you could actually minimize the fact that Provo Canyon has been gutted in the center, (end to end), like a giant trout to make more room for wheeled travelers..(can't UDOT make beauty a priority?)...we drove up the back side of the mountain from the Midway side & saw Cascade Springs...it's recouped from that horrible fire a few years ago & looked like something out of a fairytale, a staircase of flowing mountain water interspersed with redwood pathways & every color of green that you could imagine...yellow too....& the backside of the grand Timpanogas...she looked like a giant tall Xmas cookie or cake, (in a tall wide shape), that got hit with powdered sugar ...& one more thing the sky was azure blue...except for the white streaks & lines left by the air engines...(thanks heavens UDOT will most likely will have no reason to ever "gut" American Fork Canyon with her green tall tree tunnels that make you feel like you're in the magic forest..!) ..now what I really need to do is post a photo or two of this site but I haven't figured out how to do that ...anybody got any good pictures of this view to post?? (I know Karen & Hye Soo do...) Well for now just close your eyes & draw upon your greatest creative tool....your imagination...breath the cool air & take a look at what I saw today...keep your eyes closed for a full minute & a half..then say a quiet thankyou to the great creator for his work....remember the air is crisp & chilly like a fresh cold apple...sue-who

The Girls go shopping

On Friday Maya called to remind me that I promised to take her shopping for an "outfit" for her birthday. Hehe. Go Maya! So Zoe joined us on Saturday and we had a great girls' day out. First we went to the 99cent store, then to the temporary "Spirit" store that is chock full of Halloween stuff (that's where I got the Hasshole shirt.) Then to Target. We had a (as Zoe would say) hot-diggity-doodle day! Here are some of the pics:

Leaving for the 99cent store:


Oooooooo ooooo! Halloween store:

Getting Mi Amigo's breath:


Maya has the "photographer gene" -- or does she???


Hehe. Maya looks like Cindy Who of Whoville.

Weird format

Hey, when I open a post with my browser window in the "float" mode (as in NOT maximized... don't know what else to call that) the post looks really funky, like it is about to be cut off on the left. Does this happen to anyone else? Anything we can do to change this?

G & K's Creative Time


Georgia and I got together for a creative night on Friday, and made cards. Welllllll, to be more exact, we made CARD -- ONE EACH. We are both very slow at our creative thing. But we decided to make cards to send to Hye Soo. Here's mine:

Hye Soo, do not look since I haven't sent it to you yet!

Well I went to the Dr. & I had my annual $ 435.00 of
bloodwork done & the only thing wrong was the
esonophil(SP) count was flagged..it's supposed to be
less than 500 & mine was about 1,400.....it indicates
that someone is having a problem with either food
allergies or parasites & the Dr. didn't think that
parasites was it because I didn't have diareaha..& she
didn't think my spasms were extreme enough or
something but she had one of those food allergie
tests....( basically its biofeedback)...& it got
rather specific about the parasite thing (it's one
similiar to Giardia .."Cryptosporidium".,etc..
.something like that if I'm remembering it right &
identified all these foods I'm suddenly allergic
too....so now I have this big fat thing going on with
food allergies......I have to avoid all these things
so my intestines can recoup....I've gotten on the web
& apparently Crypto... is very easy to get if your
swimming in a pond, pool or lake that has been
infected by a spec of cow crap....or some other farm
animal like a lamb...the oocysts can float around on
the water surface & survive for weeks...(I couldn't
help but think of Burston Pond!)..the oocyssts somehow
get in your mouth ...they survive in chlorinated water
easily...Milwalkee had an outbreak in 93 in their city
water & 400,000 people got it..chlorine can't kill
it..it's dangerous for little babies & HIV folks
because of the diareeha......ANYWAY..it basically
impairs your digestive tract becuase it takes out or
damages the villi....well whatever all I know is my
digestive tract is impaired because everytime I eat
something it makes me sick..(Iv'e lost 10 pounds from
this & at the rate I'm going avoiding all of the
allergic food I'll probably lose another 10
more!!!)...I'd rather be fatter thank-you..I'm being
treated by Dr. Jones with homeopathy...the average
course of cryto is usually 10 days...but it can be
contagious for 2 months....If it;'s crypto that
started all of this then it makes sense because I got
ill 7 or 8 days after we swallowed water in Burston
Pond..(but the rope swing was fun!)_...the web says
thats how long it takes to show up & it's similiar to
viral symptoms which is what I thought I had....oh
well .....guess away..... ..........since I've had
this for 5 1/2 weeks maybe things will turn around
soon...I CAN"T EAT ANY TOMATOES UNTIL IT DOES!!! try
eating your salmon taco w/o salsa or ranch tomatillo
sauce or diet coke....or lime....thank heavens for the
North Shore waffles w/ bluberies... but NO sweet or
sugar-free syrup whatso ever...this is a long boring
email about myself but I really don't care because I'm
starting to lose my marbles.....what I'm wondering is
if this did come from B. Pond ( I guess it could of
come from somewhere else)...how are the Brimhall
kids???? Lynn may have been very brilliant not to have
swung on the rope swing or swim at all!! has anyone
heard if they have flu like symptoms or possibly
diareaha....I read that when people get these
parasites they often have headaches, & sinus symptoms.
so how are the children....? There are some lucky
folks that can ingest these oocysts & when the
parasites pop out they just don't burrow in & cause
an infection...& then they get passed in the
bowel....oh to be so lucky......love Sue

Re: Hasselhoff Nirvana

Wow Doug...I've never seen him look so swell..The
Hasselhoff guy.. .Hye Soo I believe is just
spoofing you about the cute short hair cut , check
the photo closely..it's probably photoshopped...or was
there even a photo?...We asked her about her hair cut
& she didn't know what we were talking about & Rich
said somebody said you cut your hair short & then she
just started laughing...she just got cast in some play
as an Indian so I doubt that she has some short
haircut...such gullibillity...don't worry Doug I know
I probably spelled that wrong...feel free to correct
it though.....I would like EVERYBODY to send me an
email of how they think this word would be
spelled...(see below)....no cheating Doug...&! nobody
can look it up in the dictionary or spell check which
could be wrong anyway.>>>>>>>>>>> { An erect American
herb of the night shade family widely cultivated as a
vegtable crop: 1.) potato 2.) potatoe } .... so how
do you all cast your vote is it 1. or 2. ???? If you
owned a potato(e) farm how would you spell
it?......indulge me in this game because I can
actually sit in front of my computer today...yesterday
I could not..I was between the couch & the jon unable
to speak....oo-o-o-o-oooo I found the BEST brown rice
at the asian food store last week..it's from
Thailand...it's Jasmine rice but in the wholegrain
brown version...didn't even know you could get it that
way...it made a delicous vegtable soup/broth...the

I figured that the transition was something about brown rice causing too
much roughage which caused an extended stay on the toilet--maybe this has
something to do with diarrea, and the shirt "HASSHOLE", which combines the
toilet end of the body, and the Hoff.

Regarding a body part close by, check out the latest Hoff image.

Okay everyone, Zoe, the one who’s email address sparked this potato(e) controversy is putting in her say.  In Webster's dictionary the world is spelled: POTATO!!!!  The only way there could be an E at the end would be if we lived in the age of the American Revolution.  The olde times where the people lived in mud huts and drank whiskey for every meal.  
Love,
The great and wonderful
ZOE BEAN

PS.  Sue, I think you are officially losing your marbles.  I can connect the topics of your email though.  Maybe you were talking about rice because that was what was coming out while you were on the john.  Just my thoughts.

Potatoe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation , search
"Potatoe" is an archaic  spelling of the word potato . The Oxford English Dictionary  lists potatoe as a variant form, with the most recent usage cited from 1880: "She found the parson in his garden..making a potatoe pie for the winter." However, it is considered a misspelling  in modern English. Although the English plural  potatoes is spelt with an "e," the singular form is not, and no dictionary  considers potatoe to be an acceptable modern spelling.

melted sugar & nuts

ok folks here's a bit of family creativeity....this is a must for your next salad or scrumpous waffle......take 3/4 cup white sugar, a dash of fire oil, a small, small cinnamon sprinkle, & 1 teaspoon of vanilla.....put it all in a frying pan & cook on medium high until the sugar fully melts & threatens to smoke, (it turns brown) ..(turn your stove fan on so as not to set off the fire alarm)....when sugar is fully disolved throw in a cup of nuts stirring constantly, (pecans are great but so are walnut & almonds or a combo of all), if you think it's geting to hot lift your pan off the burner for a second...toss the nuts quickly so that the sugar coats every speck of nut...when it looks done dump out the nuts on a "pammed" cookie sheet...spread them quickly before they congeel (SP?)...let them cool completely then chop them in pieces with a giant sharp cleever...it takes quite a bit of chopping......................... .........................make sure you add them to a salad that has dried cranberries, onions & possibly very crisp bacon in addition to whatever else......Paul Newmans Balsamic Vinagerette Dressing is good to...or whatever you like.......this is also good on waffles.....or pancakes....well I hope you will enjoy this recipe....Happy Labor Day!

Wooo Hoooo!!!

I figured it out and now we have titles! :)

To celebrate I leave you with this lovely picture of The Hoff... Mmmmmm Pepsi!

Hello family bloggers!!!

Welcome family!!!! Here is our cool new family blog thingie so that we can post cool stuff, and mostly so that we can plan our super fun creative gathering next summer (think end of july) to North Shore to crash Cyndi's pad and create some nifty artsy, crafty fun!!! That was a long sentance. Anyhoooo... Enjoy!

I have tried a bunch of times to find a template that will allow us to post a title for each blog enty... but for some reason it is not working. which is strange because I use this exact template on my other blog and it allows you to post a title for each entry that shows up in orange... Non of the templates I have tried are allowing for titles for some reason, maybe it is just my browser I am using or something... who knows. But if anyone knows how to rememdy it let me know!!! :)
