Please, someone, relate.

I may have posted this before...I don't know. It's isn't even good enough to post about twice (or even once?), but I'll go for it anyway.

That was the year of 2004 or 2005 - when my friend called me Kurr, and it didn't occur to me to mind. That was before Obama got elected, before Amy Winehouse came, when I couldn't wait to join the Society of Technical Communication, and I thought I'd never find a girl as great as Lindsay Blair. That was the year I lived in Cobble Creek.

Oh man, did anyone catch that redo of the first lines of Dirty Dancing? If not, you and I have a problem.

Anyway, the first time I watched Garden State was my sophomore year at USU with my friend Lindsay Blair. I also call her Blurr. Or Blair. Or Guuuuuuurl. I laughed soooooo hard when I saw the scene where the guy shoots a flaming arrow straight up in the air and Zach Braff and Natalie Portman shuffle around while trying to get out of the way.

 

Please tell me you did that while catching a pop fly. If not, that probably means you're a good outfielder. Or really bad. I dunno...I always stuck to being the catcher, where people threw straight right at me. They called me Pudge. (How many of you get that joke? Stacy...Mom...no one else...)

Flashback Wednesday because I feel like it

Look, Natalie, just for you! I was going through old pictures today and found this gem.

Flashback Friday

My family should like this video. Back in the day of Cobble Creek apartments at USU, Todd showed us how to dance. Make sure your sound's on.

Flashin'

Look how fat and bald he was. This was New Year's at "the cabin" in Sundance.

Oh, P.S.

Happy engagement anniversary to us! I feel like I must mention it since I have in the past.

Here's an engagement picture. Look at my freaky right arm. I'm almost as freaky as Stacy.

Flashback Friday

This is for all the people that said I had an easy pregnancy.

These are never before seen pictures.

It looks like the fluid that was swelling up my feet was swelling up my face!

Personally, I prefer my men without chest hair

I was going through some pics on my computer and came across this screenshot that I emailed to my hot cousin, Greg.

This is why I thought he'd be particularly interested:

can you guess which one he is?

I love Photoshop

And I love actions.

Flashback Friday

My friend Ashley told me tonight that I hadn't blogged in a week, and I didn't believe her. She tells the truth. Oops.

This picture is from a girls' trip we took with most of the girls from my mom's side of the family in May of 2005. We stayed in London for about a day on our way to Italy, and here are some of us crammed into a phone booth. Carol (Anne) didn't fit I guess, but she made the photo. Please note that Lori is with child in this picture, so it was more cramped than you might initially think. :)

P.S. I think my belly button is officially all the way out. And yes, you can see it when I wear certain shirts.

I'm attractive

So Stacy posted a picture of me on her blog and said she didn't have a picture that showed my face, and I told her she could've picked any picture on facebook. I started to think about what really unattractive pictures she would find, and I automatically thought of this one.

Background story: I tried the gallon challenge, but I got really really full and couldn't finish. I wanted to throw up, and this is my attempt. It never worked. But as you can tell, it worked for Blair! She kept making herself throw up just because it pleased me so much. I couldn't stop laughing.

Flashback Fridee

Remember zis picture? Why am I always going out of my way to pet the animals? That other picture was Bugs. Meet Sally. And my mother, the sailor.

Sally's wearing a cast cause my mom ran over her. Poor Sally.

My Destiny: Babydolls

There's a place by my house called Babydolls, and on the sign it also says TOPLESS. When I was little, we drove by this place, and the following is a conversation I had with my dad:

Kari: What's topless mean?

Dad: It means there's no ceiling.

Kari: That sounds cooooool.

I've been at my parents' house for Christmas, so I decided to look through a drawer of pictures and scan some of them. My friend Jared and I found a pattern...

Flashback Friday

Was yesterday, I know.

Ode to black hair

I have not done a Flashback Friday for a LONG time, so I think I'll make up for it tonight. You better look at EVERY picture I post, or else.

These posts are all from my junior year of college. And there's one picture of the summer before that year. I dyed my hair black during the spring semester of my sophomore year, and I didn't stop until I was going to get engaged. I figured I'd better have blonde hair for my wedding. Boring! Gotta do whatcha gotta do, right? Anyway, here are some pictures. I kinda miss the black when I see these pics! They're in choronologicalish order.

black (hair) & brown (skin)...I might be wearing that shirt right now...

with my other husband

that railing was not sturdy at all. scary. and i might've

flashed dustin as i got up there. you liked that, eh, dusty!?

pro at yoga. ok you can't see any black

hair, but that's cool, right? YOU try it.

not sure what's going on here. maybe we're showing

off our new shoes. don't mind the dirty dishes...we

had issues with people doing their own dishes that year.

a picture we had to take for a catalog we designed.

it was AWKWARD. i mean look at that boob touching

that's happening with elsie and me.

Howl '06. The first year it sucked.
Jessi even sewed our dresses.

Do I look Dutch?

Flashback Friday

I'm running out of old pictures. Here's one from the very beginning of my sophomore year at USU. I went with my cousin Todd, my brother from another mother Tony, and Todd's friend Ryan to Jackson Hole to raft down the Snake River. We didn't meet Kevin Bacon or get taken hostage by anyone. I refused to wear the wet suit pants (cause I would look hideous in them), but I paid for that. I wore cotton shorts, which made my muscles tense up like I've never had before. I could barely walk when we got done. Next time I will wear the wet suit.

I really enjoy the person in back of us looking out into the distance. Todd and I gave this picture to our grandma for her birthday. Just the picture.

Speaking of ole Toddy, I'm gonna see him today. I'm leaving to go to California for his grandma's funeral, so I won't be on here for a while. Like you care. Tata.

P.S. answer my survey thing on the right. gracias!

Flashback Friday

Yeah, I've forgotten Flashback Friday for like two weeks...whoops. I guess it's only when I remember.

So this picture is kinda gross cause I'm sooo tan and my nose looks kinda screwed up. I just realized that it's cause my tan is uneven from my sunglasses. This was in probably August of 2005. I was a lifeguard that summer, so I got a lot of time in the sun. My mom has a client that she personal trains that has some amazing season tickets to the Rangers, so Stacy & I went one night. We walked to the seats and said to each other, "Are these really our seats?" They were in the first row, right behind the visitors' dugout (but also closer to home plate). One of the coaches threw a ball to someone by us, and Stacy looked at him and asked, "What about me?" So he threw her one. Then I was whining that I wanted one, so Stacy got the coach to throw me one too. You can tell she's the outgoing one...well, she's louder, at least. :) Look how tan my arm is. Oh, and another funny thing that happened at that game was that we were sitting by some adult (old!) guy, and he was telling us about some girl that had blue hair or something like that, implying that that was ridiculous, and Stacy and I looked at each other, each giving the "he has no idea that I have purple hair" look. You can kinda see the hue on the top of my head. Oh, and I accidentally wore the color of the opposing team. Oops.

*Please note our Texas charms around our necks. All you Texas people know James Avery!

Flashback Friday

I almost forgot. But I didn't.

So I always enjoy doing flips on my aunt and uncle's trampoline in Orem. So here are some pics and a video. Not too interesting, but enjoy. This is also where our Utah reception was.


I like what I look like when the video ends.


getting ready...


getting even more ready?...


landing very oddly.


Yep, I can do it with my hands in my pockets.


I'm bored.

Crap. I forgot Flashback Friday.

So here's Flashback Sunday.

On the first day of school, my mom would make me pose by a certain tree in the backyard. Here are a couple examples:


On my way to Primer Preschool, where I remember unsuccessfully running from and successfully getting kissed by Adam Burns.


These shoes were the closest I ever got to being a cheerleader. I was kinda anti when I got older. I was all about the real sports. (Kidding, Ambyr!)

Flashback Friday

Yes, this my 3rd post today.

I stole this idea from other people's blogs. On Fridays I'm going to post an old picture from the good ole' days. Here's the first one!

Stop laughing. This is my 9th grade (I think. Or 8th grade) yearbook picture. Funny, huh? I even have yellow teeth, and I hadn't gotten into makeup yet. But isn't my uniform so cute? You can't tell, but our uniforms really were pretty cute. I consider it a pretty good picture cause I don't have a visible double chin.
