Curling, eh?

Friday night my friend Wendy invited me to go Curling with her and some of her peeps. It was some good times! But, I was definitely NOT good at the sport. I was perhaps at an average-skill as a sweeper, but I cannot throw worth beans. At all. It was actually pretty comical...

This is me trying to slide the stone.

To Curl, you start out by crouching down in 'happy dog' position (with your bum in the air). Your right foot is in a starting block and your left foot on a slippery slipper. You push off, sliding with the slippery foot forward and your 'starter-block' leg being drug behind you with all your weight balanced on the white pipe thing in my left hand (see the pic). Maybe that's why I was so horrible... I have zero upper-body strength... 1.2 seconds after I left the starting block I basically collapsed in a puddle on the ice. ha ha so great.

Anywho, now I can say I've been curling! How many people can say that? 

Upgrade Time

I finally decided to upgrade my phone! I've been able to to upgrade since October, but I've been too lazy, er, or something to do it until now. 

I got the iPhone last night and have been in LOVE with it since! Shoot, if I knew how awesome this phone was I would have upgraded 6 months ago. I had some fun with it last night and did Facetime calling with a few of my siblings. Here's a gorgeous screen shot of me with my sis Moriah. hehe

Also, I don't know how it's possible... but my phone made me feel ashamed last night. I was learning how to use Siri and she said (in quite the snobbish voice) 'you don't have to push the button every time you ask me a question' (or something along those lines). Oh boy...you know technology is running rampant when it affects your self-esteem. ha ha... #firstworldproblems

If I was a guy... I'd get this razor. Just saying. Well done commercial people... well done.

Don't Eat Buckyball Magnets

Um, so my poor little Nephew Carter (who turns 2 in May) has been throwing up a lot lately. SO, my sister in law brought him to the hospital a few days ago and demanded that they do an x-ray (or something) on the poor baby to see what is wrong. Good thing she brought him to the hospital... because it turns out he's been swallowing a TON of those buckyball magnets and they created a huge mass in his stomach. They did a scope procedure this morning to get the magnets out and this is what they took out (my sister in law counted them and it ended up being around 66!!):

Crazy, right?? Poor little guy.
