Fish On.

The other day Blake and I were driving back from one of our many trips to UVU, as he began talking about how he really needs to "get to the mountains and just fish." He goes through these emotional outbreaks sometimes, and they overhwelm him. For instance today I got a text that said "I'm stuck in traffic, just another ant headed to the ant hill." To put it nicely.. Blake hates "the city" as he calls it. But back to the Fish story, so after his rant about missing the mountains, I thought for a minute and asked the following question: "So Blake, can you tell me exactly what it is that you love about ice fishing?" Because in my mind it makes no sense. Fishing is meant for warm summer days, water up to the waste, and your wife in the car listening to music. However he caught me off guard when he said this, very seriously might I add: "Em, every time that pole starts to move in that little hole, it's like Christmas. You just can't hold in the excitement." He is so cute.

I then thought for a minute trying to relate... "Ohhhhh I get it now. Yah I feel like that every time I get done using the bathroom."

The rest of the ride was silent.

Tweaking.


This week I had a vision to start a new workout regimen. The idea came to me on Saturday morning, when I actually attempted a workout for the first time since, oh my wedding, lets say. I pulled out my various workout videos before getting started....
Marie Windsor Pilates...check.
Yoga Booty Ballet (by two very strange women who I think like each other)...check.
Jillian Michaels workout: frontside and backside duo....check.

Oh there it was, under all the dust I pulled out my trusty Slim in 6 Weeks Video Set. Let's see, three choices of workouts: we've got Start it up, Ramp it up, and Burn it up (also knows as shut the "explicit word" up. Or at least that's what I say out loud when I'm doing it.) So I pulled on my yoga pants that fit real snug-like to the derrier, put on a bra to keep my jubblies in, and proceeded to sport my Lehi Roundup 5k shirt, that is anything but lucky. I think I took 400th out of 300 people in that race, if that's even possible. I then completed the Start It Up portion, which is a 25 minute course. After doing this workout, I believe I passed out. I then proceeded to have a dream about my Nutrition class that I took last semester. In that dream my teacher stated that it's very important to customize your diet and workout plan to your own needs.

I have since realized that this program of mine needed some tweaking. I have changed the Slim in 6 weeks regimen, to a Slim in 6 Years regimen. I am going to workout every 6 months, and if I feel the need to tighten up, I'll stop eating chocolate donuts and german sausage.

So Cheers to all of you in your New Years Resolutions.

Oh, one more thing... Shutup Richard.

Saaaaaaacuhjuhwheeya.

Day number 15 of the headache-slash-hacking esophagus.
I wrote a poem about it. Here it goes:

I love mucus, it loves meee.
Can't stop hacking, shoots out green.
Sore throat, headache, ears on fire.
Oh look I have a spare tire.

That's as far as I got. It's kind of a work in the making.

Micro-Bio Lab Part 1

Last night I had my first visit to Microbiology Lab. After the big spill about what to do if we eat any bacteria, cut off any important limbs, or start on fire (the teacher pleasantly asked that we do our best to only have one person on fire at a time, since there is only one fire blanket... we obliged), our teacher then informed us of the dreaded Week #9. The class went silent.

What could he possibly be referring to? We had already been told about E.Coli, Salmonella, and all the other wonderful bacterium we would be dealing with. And we were happy to hear that since the beginning of time, no one has ever died from this particular class. But after hearing about Lab #9, I was hoping I would become the first fatality.

If any of you have ever seen the movie "Out Cold" then you will understand my visual. If you have not seen this movie, I suggest you rent it so that we can all be on the same page.
4 words, urine specimen with flair.

It's going to be a BYOFM party. Week #9.
And that stands for Bring Your Own Fecal Matter.

Let the fun begin.

Buck Wilde's Playhouse.


This is a shout out to my most delectible other half. This week Blake bought himself a little treat. But I must tell you he has been saving for it, ever so diligently, since July! After much consideration and many trips to the gun store, Blake finally (and I do mean finally) put up the cash to buy this Walther P22. Yes, I am getting very good at gun lingo, thank you. I have been drug to Sportsman's at least 5 times since November to view every gun available this side of the Mississippi. But this little beauty finally won Blake over. Amen! And to add to all of this excitement, today Blake sold his Beretta so that he can buy the other gun he really wants. A glock. I will learn the lingo about this gun very soon and then share it with you. I sure do love it when my husband is so willing to sell an old gun to get a new one. He is brilliant!
All this selling & buying that's been going on, sure does make me want to get in on all the action. So, for all you readers out there, I am selling my snowboard. Pictures and Info to come soon! This board has rarely been used as I never could quite figure out how to not break limbs while strapped to it. So keep watch, and if you're looking for a smackin' deal on a board, I'm the person for you. Heaven knows I need a new set of tatas asap. The sooner this puppy is sold the sooner I can go under the knife. Sike!

Tests.

Apparently I'm going through test withdrawels today. After having so many tests the last few months, it's like I dont know what to do without them. So today I have taken it upon myself to take a few tests. For your information I have found out the following:

I am extremely popular.
My head circumference is what you would call "abnormal."
I am not gay.
If I were a car i would be a Suburu Outback, without leather or a sunroof.
My name means "Hardy's Fresco Breakfast Sandwich."

Suddenly my life makes sense.

School Supplies. Yum.

It seems like I just posted my Back to Skool blog about my terrible school memories that are forever lodged in my brain....and yet here we are, another fresh start of a new semester. Last night my dear husband drove me clear to UVU after work (in West Valley) for my Microbiology Lab. Only to find a lovely note on the door explaining that class will start next week. Thank you to my professor for considering those of us who travel from afar. I love paying for gas. And also thanks for ruining my excitement of having fresh new school supplies that I ever so patiently assembled during my travels. Ever since I was young I have had this obsession with buying paper. And pencils. And any other supplies I could talk my Mom, now husband, into letting me buy. Call me crazy, but it really makes my day. My husband even text me yesterday and said "Tell me what you need for school and I'll run to Wal Mart and pick it up for you." My response? "Don't you dare, that's the best part of the semester." I don't know where this obsession came from, but I hope it never leaves me. Because a week from now, when I am tempted to light my eyelids on fire from all the excessive studying I am doing, I will still have that fresh new eraser atop an ever so shiny pencil that continues to give me a glimmer of hope amidst the dark halls of UVU.
So cheers to all of you embarking on this new semester. May we all get A's and eat at the UVU salad bar every day.
Ps. Thank you to UVU for finally putting carpet in the Diesel Mechanics building. Maybe now I can finally get rid of the memory of walking down this particular hall during my freshman year. 3 inch heels and tile don't mix. The best part was looking up from my 6'4 laid out frame only to find every guy in the diesel mechanics room staring at me through their shop window.

Iceskating!

Last night we had the pleasure of having Keisha and Jake over for dinner and a little ice skating! It was loads of fun, I had the camera so I didn't get any action shots of Blake and I. And really none of Keisha and Jake either. I was too scared I'd fall on my butt trying to take them. So here are some not-so-wilde pictures, dont we look cute though? Sheesh.
Thanks for the fun times Keish and Jake!

Christmas 08!

Well I have been a major slacker and haven't blogged in quite some time, so here are a few pics from our first Wilde Christmas as a married couple! Nothing too excited, but hey. Lay off.
Here are my Sugar Cookies I made on Christmas Eve to take to the Wilde's home! Yum yum, I think I ate at least half of them.
Our beautiful tree with presents under it on Christmas Eve! So exciting!
Blake sitting with all of his super duper presents picked out by muah =)
Me woo! So excited. This is the best day ever. Christmas can't be beat =) Woo.
Best 2 presents ever.
Ok I loved these Emu Boots alot too. Blake is hot!
Blake being nothing other than himself.
A Skeet Shooter! Wow! Every man's dream. Right? You should have seen me in Sportsmans picking that out. Lots of redneck stares.
Bowling the day after Christmas with the Wilde Crew! The hat help me win.
My cute sis and I. I am Russian, she is Swedish.
What a great Christmas we had! I failed to get any pictures on New Years. Apparently i was too intoxicated with Diet Coke and Lil' Smokies to remember to capture any memories. I'll do better next year.
Happy 2009!
