Great Escape Meme

1. If you could escape to anywhere in the world where would it be?

To escape I would pick... Florida. I know that sounds weird but it just seems like everybody is living the good life down their! And I could go to Disneyworld!

2. What song do you play when you are by yourself in the car?

Right now I am stuck on the B.E.P. CD! Its awesome!

3. If you had a night to yourself, and money was no object, what would you do?

That would be weird! I would love to just hop on a flight to New York and see Shakira in concert! {Front row of course!}

4. What is your guilty pleasure?

Walking to the grocery store to get Cinnamon Bears!

{I feel that if I walk to Harmons I burn a lot of calories, and they have the freshest bears!}

5. What is the farthest place you have traveled away from your home?

That would be to Ireland!

6. Last book that you couldn't put down?

This is a hard one! I love to read! I would have to say The Hunger Games was the last one that I listened to that I could not stop! The last one that I read the fastest because I could not put down was Harry Potter 7!

7. When you want to escape into another time, what movie do you watch?

I am not a huge movie buff but I love to watch the Harry Potter series.

I sometimes wonder what year the movies are supposed to be set.

When they are in the castle with no electricity it seems old fashioned!

8. What is your favorite local escape?

Driving up the canyons!

Or going to get a rock massage!

9. How do you escape on a budget?

Going walking along the many trails in Sandy!

10. Best food you've ever had while on vacation.

I would have to go with the chicken wings we had in a pub in Ireland!

Ireland had very different food then America!

Everything in the pubs tasted like they were made at home.

Nothing just heated up!

The restaurant was on the coast and it just made it the perfect end to the day!

Tag Time!

Tagged
Rules:
1. People who are tagged need to post these rules, and 8 random habits/facts/quirks about themselves.
2. At the end of the post you need to choose 8 people to get tagged and list their names

1: I love to cook! I have a ton of recipe books that I bring to bed with me at night to read. I enjoy cooking for hours at a time and love to make up my own recipes. They are all called Sam Surprise until I have perfected them and then they get a name. BUT, I can not bake at all! Every cookie I have ever made is hard or no flavor. Brownies always have to be eatin within two minutes of coming out of the oven because at five minutes they are rock hard.

2: Diego is always doing projects. If he is home, he is outside fixing stuff. And lately it is stuff that did not need to be fixed. Diego can not watch more than one episode of Forensic files before he is complaining about being bored. Weekends are horrific with him when it is raining outside, ( like today).

3: I have anxiety when I have to leave Sandy or Draper. When I have to go somewhere I always freak out that I am not going to get there on time or that I am going to get lost. I had to drive to Magna last night to do a scentsy party and I was having a panic attack on the 201 about going out to 82 west. I really wanted to call and cancel and just go home and sit in my bed.

4: I drink to much water. When I was 17 my Dr. put me on suicide watch because I would not stop drinking water and they thought I was going to drown. They made me drink only gatorade for a couple of weeks and it was hell. I live for water. I only drink water, coffee, and liquor. But since I am giving up the last two I am stuck with only water. I hate carbonation because of the bubbles and I have since I was a baby.

5: I went to Ireland on my senior trip. This was my moms idea, not mine. I wanted to go to Disneyland. Shocker. We went with a girl I had grown up with and her mom. It was an amazing trip and I really would love to go back someday. My favorite thing in Ireland was kissing the Blarney Stone. And we got to stay in an actual Castle.

6: I am in love with my neighbors and my neighborhood. We only live a couple blocks from my family and they are closer than any store so I usually just stop by their house and take groceries! We have two neighbors that love Disneyland as much as we do so we always have something to talk about. The little munchkins in the hood love Minnie. They always want to come play with her. She is kind of afraid of them but it is good practice for her.

7: I wear my hair in a pony tail everyday! I always try and do my hair all nice but if not every hair looks perfect I give up and put it in a pony. I always think about cutting my hair short so I would not have the option of a pony but I always chicken out.

8: (thanks for reminding me that I only did 7 tray) I am addicted to Harry Potter! I listen to them over and over everyday on my ipod at work. I sometimes will listen to the whole twilight series but i always go back and listen to Harry afterword. I am guessing that I have been doing the Harry Potter series over and over for the last two years. That is a lot of Harry Potter!
