for WEDNESDAY!
Random-ness at it's Finest!
this is ME! summer of 1994
i figured if i was posting pics of Jayna, and Becky it was only fair to include myself. i considered Lindsey in the search for pics too. since that was our clique but i knew she would be Peeved about that. and spared her.

HMMM new bloggers! I have some old friends that are new bloggers! yay!
Jayna is freaking the funnest girl i know! and she travels to far off fabulous places. she is totally hot and still single! um AND she is an interior decorator in UTAH! she is not promising to update tons but i was still thrilled to get an email from her with a blog link! yay! JAYNA! she is my friend on face book and LDS link-up too. FYI.Jayna got glamor shots! what a fox!
did i do a shout out yet about BECKY!??? another Highschool sidekick! she has two cute kids and seems to have found her outdoorsy side. which i had no idea about. but thrilled to view her blog finally! she keeps busy and lives close but we seem to never see her. HMMM Bag nap time Becky and come to lunch once in a while! She is all about a bargain too. so i feel a bond to her. yay for bargains and black Friday shopping! plus all the high school adventures!
wanna know the dumbest most unsafe thing i ever did with these fun girls?
details are lacking but i recall going to Mill Ave. to hang out! It was me, Becky, Jayna and if anyone else was there i can't recall(Lindsey where were you?) anyway. we were hanging out. got to the coffee plantation where people seemed to linger/loiter, and we were standing there. Some group of guys comes up to us and we all chatted. as i recall it he was hot for Becky because all the guys were but he approached me because i was friendly, and approachable. (this is my theory anyway) so we chatted it up for a bit and they asked us hey do you wanna go to our house? (not sure if they mentioned swimming or not) but stupidly we say SURE! so we follow them out to Ahwatukee, back when there wasn't much out there,Just a few giant houses, mostly reservation, in BFE it was dark, pretty rural. between Tempe and this guys house, as we are driving i recall thinking this isn't very smart but we kept going. THEN we get there, and i guess we knew we were gonna swim. because they gave us some of their boxers and t shirts, and we changed into them in the bathroom. (i was never a skinny dipper! and we were prudish naive little Mormon girls) so as we are changing i am talking to Jayna feeling like , this is not smart, we are in the middle of nowhere with a bunch of strange teenage guys, at a house we aren't even sure whose it is, and there is one of the guys dads there. so we change go to to the pool, and me and Jayna are kind of cowering in the corner, no mingling was going on. and Becky is chatting it up with the guy that dug on her. anyway you can imagine wet boxers and t-shirts great coverage! i don't recall any of the guys swimming, except Becky's admirer. yeah so we were uncomfortable, and finally decide to bail on this plan. and go home, on the way home discussion was had that we were lucky none of them wanted to rape us or whatever because what were we gonna do? this was back when no one had cell phones, and i am pretty sure it was just the county sheriff department out there, and if these people had not nice plans we didn't have much safety on our side. so we got lucky. and then after that smart adventure , Becky ended up going out with this guy! he totally dug on her. that was summer time and i vividly recall her going out with him around Christmas? and i have to wonder if Becky didn't ride with the Guys from Mill? and we had to follow her to swim and then leave? not clear.
High school, especially the stupid judgments are all a tad fuzzy! and the year was 1994 just before senior year? the summer i made most of the dumb decisions in my life. it seemed to be a
recurring trend. but it was otherwise memorable and fun! the music we listened to? WEEZER -THE SWEATER SONG, Greenday, OFFSPRING, hmm i feel a playlist coming on. stay tuned.
on a better note, I got a new fabulous purse! can I just say, WHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOHOOOO! super stoked on that. it is my fave color (Fuchsia) and just the right size. huge-ish. I can fit my wallet, wipes , diapers, my make-up bag, my current reading material(the last Outlander series book) , cell phone and a billion pens, my camera case, and later i am sure it will be packed with loads of fruit snacks and assorted kid stuff, and tons of receipts! oh and it has the bottle pockets just like my green purse. same style and brand as that but bigger. yeah , fabulous!Loving this Purse! and in case you want details? it is a $40 Kathy Van Zeeland from TJmaxx.
Did i show you my free Viagra pen? WHOOhoo on that! that was my treat last week at the Dr.
it is fabulous!
I got my prize (fabulous necklace) from my birth story , in the cyber baby shower contest when i had the flu, i am of course thrilled! Here it is finally! it is hand stamped on sterling silver "Lucky mommy" with a pearl dangle and a silver ball chain! yay! Check out Lisa she has some fabulous stamped silver jewelry!
also i got another new smaller 'just for mom alone" purse from Janan -she brought me a Gucci knock off from china! and i was pretty darn thrilled about it! Gucci knock off direct from China! thanks Janan for thinking of me and picking up a purse for me , the best 10 bucks ever!
breakfast? what did you eat today?
I opted for maple and brown sugar Oatmeal. i like my microwave oatmeal dryish and lumpy. by dry i mean there is no extra water in it just enough to cook it, but not enough to make it runny. i don't do soupy oatmeal. I add sugar, and just a dab of milk again not to make it runny but to soften up the blob of oatmeal. since it is virtually solid. i totally love it this way. i am eating as i post.
So i wanna know how do you eat your oatmeal? do you even eat it? some people i am sure don't whether it is a texture thing or a fiber issue. or eww flavored oatmeal! what do you think of it? what flavor? i need to know! i used to enjoy apple cinnamon or peaches and cream but not any more. what about oatmeal from scratch? do you make that? would you eat it? i like it , but it is always super dark with the sugar. and thick , and lumpy if i can help it.
here is the WTH? part you might think the randomness all warrants a WTH? but this is the main one i planned on anyway.
on to the whole i can't use the back button off your page issue! UMMM, i have no idea why not!
my sister the one also known as Hotmama, said she thought it was the POLL, making it stick on there. i think if the change in using back button is new though, it must be the new weather thing. i tried it and it worked for me . SO i don't know for sure what it could be. also, i never use the back button, i always open a link in a new window so i can link from my own page over and over,
and listen to MY playlist.
but i am not sure i love my links changes. what do you think? lame? inconvenient? lemmee know. but with my super smart open link in new window i just close the window when i am done. so no need for the back button.
alright novelly novel today. here is some comment fodder for ya-
i need to know...
- what you eat for breakfast?
- how do YOU eat YOUR oatmeal?
- do you eat flavored oatmeal?
- what flavor?
- did you do anything dumb that you would consider unsafe/stupid? in High school?
- Who did you do the dumb stuff with?
- do they have a blog? Share it!
- are you jealous of my new purses?
- Coveting my new necklace (prize) ?
- how long has the back button not worked for you? just this week? or since i have been having a poll? lemmee know!

I'm not quite sure what to comment on first! There are so many options! I think I'll stick with: So cute pictures of you gals in high school!!! And I like my oatmeal with a little milk and brown sugar. The last thing is that I totally love your new purse!
first i am coveting your new pink purse! i'm headed to tjmaxx right after i comment to see if they have them on the east coast
i too had oatmeal at my computer this morning. as i am trying to lay off too much sugar i made mine from scratch. i like it with milk, tons of cinnamon, walnuts (cause they are full of omega-3's) and just a touch of pure maple sugar. and i don't like mine runny either. firm oatmeal for me please.
i don't know anyone from high school that blogs. hummm need to look into that.
i think the links are fine. of course i love to see my name in lights but it's way easier for you this way i'm sure.
and btw. the pix of you from highschool. holy cow girl!! you were (and still are may i say!) a HOTTIE!!! but i dont' see a tongue piercing in that pix.
i opted out of that trip to mill but believe me i heard all about it from jayna. lovin the picture of her. i need to find the ones that we took at sears or wherever it was. glad they are allowing us to view their blogs ;)
love the new purses!!
Lindsey! keep those pics in the box!
i have no idea where mine are but as i recall not too cute! remember i spared you! please spare us all!
Joni-yay! on your oatmeal likes!
Kay- yeah the tongue pierced pics? not many of them to start and no idea where they are, also no proof because that is how you keep a secret like that form the folks! deny everything!
I wish you had posted about BIG pursed before I bought your purse in Hong Kong!! Then you would have had a FABULOUS BIG KNOCK OFF!! I am really bummed about it! But, I think part of my thinking was I always see you at Girls Night . . . no kids, small purse . . . maybe!! Oatmeal, HONEY!! I can only do HONEY!! Kaiya eats the flavored stuff and the dinosaur eggs stuff. I do it not too runny like you for her. Just enough water to cook it, a little milk to soften a little, but mostly thick! Plus, it gets on lots fewer places when it is thick!!
You are having way too much fun! Those purses are great. Thanks so much for posting about being safe and not posting the full details of our luncheon. You're always looking out. I love that about you!
Also, I've been meaning to tell you that I love the picture you choose for comments. It's fabulous!!
You are so funny! Thanks for your comment on my blog. I think the other bloggers we have in common I met through your awesome blog!
I love the new purses. I am also have a purse fetish. I had maple and brown sugar microwave oatmeal for breakfast today and I like mine with milk- just the right amount so it's not dry or soupy.
Happy What the Hell Wednesday!
I am loving this post! You make me smile! :) I LOVE both purses! You are going to be one styling mamma!
I am glad that nothing crazy happened during your little outing in Tempe. Yes, I did do some doozers in H.S. I look back at that time now, and wonder...what was I thinking!!!!! I am glad we get some what more wise as time goes on.
This was a blast!
Things were different when we were younger - of course you are younger than me so that means things were WAAAAAY different when I was young.
I did some things that I look back now and think "HOLY COW! What was I thinking!" and I only hope my kids don't do the same things!!!
I love both of your fabulous bags!!! I also have a just me bag. I feel ten pounds lighter when I get to go out w/it on my arm:):)
Ok, I admit, I had to try the BACK button to see what you're talkin' about. I, like you, open new windows for everything. I guess my back button doesn't work on your page either. Oh well. no worries for me.
LOVE the new purses!! Janan, where's my cute purse? just kidding. The pink (i mean fuschia) is so HOT!! love it! I also think your hs story is funny! i did some crazy/unsafe things too I guess in hs w/ my (then)BF Becky. We were totally wacko & silly when we went out. We would've done some weird thing like you did thinking the whole time that it was dumb. right out of hs, we went to a club to go dancing and met 2 guys there (had accents which was kinda hot & said they were from spain, who knows though?). we hung out (read as totally made out on the couch) then went outside tto "hang out" some more. they wanted us to go w/ them somewhere else. that's where we drew the line cuz they were older and it was late. we needed to get home. they got kind of upset, geez who knows what could've happened if we stayed longer. Yikes!
And I love oatmeal and cream of wheat! I used to eat plain oatmeal w/ butter & honey, but i get sick of running out of honey. So, now pretty much every day, i eat the apple/cinnamon oatmeal. I cook it in the micro for 1 min. so easy. i also love the brnsugar/maple one too. my fave is cream of wheat, but i can only eat it w/ butter & honey.
I found your oatmeal habits fascinating! I eat my oatmeal not-too-dry, not-too-runny. I love oatmeal. Also cream of wheat. I eat the exact same thing for breakfast 5 days out of 7: A healthy egg mcmuffin (egg whites on wheat english muffin w/ fat free kraft cheese).
And I absolutely refuse to divulge my dumb/unsafe/stupid misdeeds from high school.
I'm jealous of your necklace!
Holy novel!! Funny I was also going to post a "What the Hell Wed" today, but have been way too busy to even sit down until now. Lovin the Kathy Van Zeeland! I ♥ mine so much, hope you'll love yours. Isn't the key chain that comes with it fun?? Really cute necklace. I'm on my way over to a girl in my ward's house to buy a new necklace right now. And breakfast? I eat cinnamon or maple & brown sugar oatmeal, or frosted mini wheats or bran flakes or honey cheerios. Today though I had french toast at the Farmhouse in Gilbert...more on that later in my blog...
Two of my friends and I did the SAME THING in highschool but in SLC. We met some random guys while we were cruising and it didn't occur to us until we walking into their dark basement that we were being seriously reckless and dumb.
I eat microwave oatmeal just about the same way you described. We buy boat loads of the stuff because Isaac eats it all the time as a snack.
Is it bad that I am not a purse person? I buy maybe one every two years or so when the old one starts eating my change through the hole in the lining. Can we still be RAD friends?
Love the necklace. THAT I can be jealous about.
Oh, and YOU ARE SUPER RAD!
Okay i was having this same problem last week...i just spent a while commenting on basicly everything...and then screwed up and deleted it ALL so...here you go...short and sweet!
Hot pic of you at the top...and as far as high school...i did alot of dumb things tOo. They make for some fun memories now though...some anyways!
Oatmeal...Never for me! Just can't do it! My kids love it though...for me it's usually toast and apple sause or raisin bran. Nothing tOo exciting...
Still LoViNg that purse and still thinking you need the matching wallet...did you get Lance to pass off on it yet?? I need one tOo...still haven't made my way over to get it...
Congrats on the necklace...way cute!
I love the pink purse and the necklace. Way to go!
great purses! yes, i'm coveting.
Stupid thing i did in HS:
Friend and i met 2 guys at a bar (well, not a bar, but Darryl's restaurant), met them at their house way out in the country. while we were hanging out, learned that they were from Florida... 'what were you doing there?' we asked. 'serving time for dealing drugs'. ah..... we left, but eventually the girl i was with hooked up with the guy, dropped out of school, got hooked on coke, popped out two kids, disowned her family and friends and i recently learned she stayed with him for about 15 years before she was finally able to leave.... guess i dodged the bullet on that one.
oatmeal:i like the cinnamon and sugar variety...esp if its in a self serve carton. and i always add raisins.
Adorable pink purse and necklace. Both sooooo CrazyMama worthy!
You are crackin' me up with the pics! And I love the fact that Jayna started a blog. I will be going there....
NOW.
You are a scream!!! I love the pix, purses, necklace, and your oh so fun crazy story. Thanks for your entertainment!!!!
Ha, when V & I were in Hawaii, I whistled at some guys in a red convertible as we were walking down Waikiki Beach one evening. They were in the navy, picked us up, and took us back to their place. We had a nice time, but they about died when they found out how young we were! and yes, completely reckless and stupid!!! We were just lucky, but I was lovin' it because I knew that super-loud whistle that I'd worked so hard on would come in handy one day! Now, that's how I call the kids from down the street - I whistle & they'd better come runnin'!!! Oatmeal - tons of brown sugar, juuuuussst right.
I am lmao at the pictures!! I wasn't at that trip either, but I remember hearing about it, lol! I love the new purses!
