Yeah, I post things on here every once in a while and I put thought into it (usually), but I check blogs and find new ones to read every day. Literally, every day. Its an addiction, but at least its an addiction that I feel is enriching my life.
Some blogs I follow are people I've never even met before. Like the fab Fly triplets Kylie, Megan, and Lisa- some of the best bloggers I know of (at least I know these gals within a few degrees of seperation- gotta love being LDS). I also have to mention a couple of my new-found mommy/housewife inspirations Sarah and Jenna. They make mommy-ing in style look so easy! What an awesome world we live in, that women that I've never met can cheer up my day or inspire me to try/create something new through a blog post. (They can also inspire me to work out a little more- stop being so stinkin cute ladies!)
Another blog I follow is April, a chica I went to college with. We didn't know each other very well, but we share a bff, Brianna. April recently posted this 'tagged' entry and put my name at the bottom. I'm sure she knows more that one Carrie, but I'm going to pretend it was me because it looks like fun :)

11 Random things:
1. I had a major gap between my 2 front teeth until I got braces at 12 yrs old. Thank you mom and dad!
2. I am terrified- terrified- of snakes, but I've also killed a rattle snake with a shovel. Thanks to my summer as a Colorado State park ranger. (it was already wounded and pissed so I had to prevent it from injuring somebody.)
3. My favorite food is salad. There are so many yummy and amazing varieties to love.
4. I once went on a date with somebody I just met. I was living in SLC and decided to take a tour of the conference center one afternoon. There was a guy on the same tour that was my age in town alone on a business trip. We just left the conference center together and went right on a date. LOVE spontaneity!
5. I LOVE to travel. The low key backpacking kind where you're in a far away country and don't really have a plan.
6. I have a triangle shaped scar on the top of my foot from a cardboard moving box. A life long reminder of all the moving around we did when I was a kid. I have a tattoo on the top of my other foot. A life long reminder of my travels as an adult.
7. I loathe black licorice and seafood. Just gagged thinking about them.
8. I have 2 pesky gray hairs on top of my head that I try to hide with at home hair dyes. I refuse to have gray hair in my 20s.
9. My favorite tv show right now is GCB. h-i-l-a-r-i-o-u-s!
10. My husband and I met on a ski hill. I couldn't remember his name when we first met so I called him 'Snowboard'. I have since been able to remember his name.
11. I have been obsessed with nail polish since working a desk job. I have about 40 different colors of OPI and all my nails are always painted. Its a Saturday night relaxation ritual to do my nails on my bed in my pjs watching a movie or Seinfeld on dvd. Hoppin Saturday night, I know.
New Questions
1. What are you thinking about right now?
What I'll be doing this weekend since its FrIdAy!!
2. Are you afraid to die?
Yes and no. The actual dying part scares me. How will I go? Quick and painless or tragically? The after death part doesn't scare me.
3. If you could go back in history and give someone (anyone, including yourself) advice (that may or may not change history) who? and what would you tell them?
I would go back to my elementary/middle/high school self and say that you're beautiful and can do anything you want. I was well into my 20s before I let myself think that way.
4. Fruity or Chocolate?
Chocolate
5. Bungee jumping or scuba diving?
Scuba. I got certified about 10 yrs ago and I love it

Yes please
8. Dream car?

10. Would you rather have old inherited money and sit around all day doing needle points like they do in all the Jane Austen movies or be a very successful business person making all your own money but you had to work for it? why?
Successful business person. I love the conquest and achieving goals. I just know very little about business.
