Salt, Mario Kart, and Police Men

All these mission preparations are keeping me BUSY!  I love it though.  Today I had to go to the police station to get a fingerprint for some stuff and the police office we went to was so small!  It was a cute police office!  With young cute police officers!  I must have looked confused or something cause they came up to me and asked if I needed help.  YES!  I need help!  ;)   I think I will go to that police station more often.  haha.  

I knew playing Mario Kart was fun, especially with my brothers,  but I never realized the intensity level the fun could be.   Tonight's game....epic.  No one won.  No one tied.  No one lost.  How is this possible?  Have you ever thought of not RACING?

David: "Heather, turn around.  Me and Clark are at the giant mushroom".
Me: "WHY?"  (I was winning)
Clark "Were going to blow up the trees.
David bursts out laughing "And make...a BANANA MAYHEM!" 
Clark bursts out laughing.
Me: "Sweet!"  Seriously Heather, forget the race!  Why are you so silly?
We proceeded to get all the stars we could and all the bananas we could and just go crazy.  Best. Game. Ever. Try playing like that once.  You will want to play again and again.  If you have never played Mario Kart--forget everything I just said.  Or don't.  But it probably doesn't quite make sense.  I am grateful for brothers.  And laughter.

Today I am also grateful for cars.  I had a lot of places to go.  I am grateful for technology.  I am grateful for salt.  It really adds a lot of flavor to your food.  I am grateful for moms.  I love moms.  I love my mom.  I am grateful for good friends.  And I am grateful for telephones.

And So It Begins...

My first blog ever.  It's kind of exciting.  I don't know how often I will be on this, so followers, don't expect a whole lot.  Newcomers..it's cheesy and I already know.  But that is who I am.  I'm still getting used to doing this whole blog thing...so I will tell you a little about myself here...even though the about me section is visible down below.   Although I really like the quote that somehow ended up in there. So about me...

My dreams at night NEVER make sense.  One time I had a dream about a pig on a roller coaster.

I laugh at everything.  You should too.

Sometimes--OK fine a lot of times I eat raw spaghetti noodles.  Its good.

I really like taking naps.

Chocolate always wins.

My feet CANNOT be under the covers when I sleep.

My comfort food is always ice cream.

Half of these posts have been about food.  Guess I am hungry.

I am always hungry around 10:00 even if I have eaten at 9:50.  I tried it once.  I don't know what it is.

It used to be (I wish it were still the truth) I would wake up 3 minutes before my alarm went off no matter what time I set it for.

Prayer is always the answer.

Sometimes just putting on a smile will turn your whole day around--even if smiling is  hard.

 I really like country music--A LOT.  Probably too much.

Texas.  'Nuf said.

I still have my rock collection from 5th grade.  It is in my basement closet.  Don't come and get it though.

I know all about Zelda and Age of Empires and yes--I enjoy playing them.

I enjoy board games and card games more.

Especially card games.

Family is very important to me.

I love people.  I love little kids.  I could spend all day with them and would consider it the best day ever.

This is the end.

The future purpose of this blog is to make sure that I write everything that I am grateful for that day.  Today, I am grateful for hot water, blankets, and hot chocolate.  It's cold outside.
