Thanks Tonk. I really wanted to buy new glasses

All the little bumps? Yeah, those would be love bites left by Tonka.

1st Bag of the season

Sigh...

Oh tank tops, tube tops, and flippy flops... I'll take you out soon. We'll go to baseball games, rides with the top off on the Jeep, and playing in the sun! I promise.
(PS those 4 little cubes are just my "winter" flip flops. I wear them to take the trash out or whatever really quick. Ha ha, I have a whole box of summer flip flops waiting to be opened and worn.)

Idol Observations

I'm a new watcher of American Idol. I've never watched a whole episode, much less an entire season ever before. But I've been tuning in each week with season 8 and here's a few things I've noticed.

1. Quit hating on Simon. The constant booing is obnoxious.
   
2. Paula needs less eye makeup.
3. The contestants that hold up their number at the end must go. You look like an idiot when you do that. Please stop.
   
4. The only person that can sing Michael Jackson songs, is Michael Jackson. Please stop trying.
   
5. Megan Joy Corkery? I can not handle her voice, it's way too nasal-y for me. And she looks like a fish flopping around on the ground hoping it lands in water. Stop wiggling.
   
6. Adam Lambert. I love him. Try and tell me he doesn't make you want to get up and dance. And his smile? Melt me much? Umm Yeah. He rocks my world.
   

Like mother, like dog

I don't have any idea where Tonka may have picked up this straw habit... Ha ha

25 Things about ME!

This has been making the rounds everywhere and I thought I'd participate. 

1. I don't like anything mint flavored unless it's green.
   
2. I can't eat in the dark. Even if it's only popcorn. 
   
3. I have had the same cell phone number since my junior year of high school. But I've had 3 different service carriers. (PS AT&T sucks ass)
4. I will only buy Fiji water.
   
5. I will buy a DVD, even if I don't like it, because it's part of a series.
   
6. I am loyal to a fault.
   
7. I want to know what it feels like to be shot. I don't know why. (PS This is NOT an invitation for someone to shoot me.)
   
8. I love people's court daytime tv shows. Like Judge Alex and Christina's Court. And Divorce Court. They are hilarious.
   
9. I've never been bowling. Ever.
   
10. I have the most comfortable bed in the world. Seriously.
    
11. I can touch my nose with my tongue. (Funny that I mention this one right after the one about my bed. HAAA. WOOO)
12. My Mom will laugh hysterically at #10 and #11. I promise. That's one of the reasons I love her.
13. I have not eaten fast food in over a year. See here. And here.
14. I'm blind as a bat. Seriously. I can't see my hand held in front of my face without my glasses or contacts.

16. I have had surgery 5 different times. Appedix removed, ovarian cysts removed (twice), gall bladder removed, shoulder rebuilt.
17. I always make a wish at 12:34.
18. I once turned the family laundry room into my bedroom. Don't ask.
19. I want some of these shoes. BAD. And these boots. I found them on my friend Jessica's new blog.

21. I am a car baby. I'll fall asleep going to Lehi if I'm not driving.
22. I have seasonal depression. Bad.
23. I want to buy a tanning bed. 
24. I want to be one of those crazy-tan leathery-skinned old ladies, who sun bathes all day long and goes to baseball games every night.
25. I clean when I'm stressed. Lately, my house is spotless.

Gross

Well friends and blog stalkers, my vow off fast food has been renewed. For those that do not know, I have not eaten fast food in over a year. I classify fast food as any place with a drive through. It absolutely disgusts me. But, my disgust for it does not exclude me from picking it up for others. I am an executive assistant and part of my job includes picking up lunches from time to time. So I was tasked to pick up lunch for our sales team at work Friday. The task wasn't the problem. It was the details of the task. I was asked to pick up 60 soft tacos from Del Taco. OMG. Hold.Back.The.Puke. It was like de'ja vu. My past Taco Bell experience flashed through my mind. Ughhhh. I'm not sure how I went through with it, but I did. I persevered. Go me go.

For Sale

I am selling some of Tonka's old puppy clothes and food bowls. He's outgrown them. Everything is clean and in good condition. The clothes will fit a dog 4-8lbs. I am asking $5 for each piece of clothing or $18 for all of them, and $5 for the food bowls. Leave a comment or email me at tanyabunsoff at gmail if you are interested.

New Bedroom

I've been itching to change around my room again lately and I went ahead and did it this weekend. First, I found a new bed set at Walmart that I really really loved. But it was $100 and it didn't go with the photos I already had on my walls, which I didn't want to change. If you haven't seen them, one is a black and white of an old wooden boat and house, and the others are 6 shots I took while in Boston in 2007. I love them all and wanted to keep those with the new theme. I also wanted to add darker colors into the room. There was too much white. So Holli and I headed to Ikea and I got a new comforter, a new chair, throw blanket, and rug.

I flipped the bed around to make room for the chair and ended up taking out one of the night stands. The before can be seen here. Here is the after:

PS: What do we think of the captions on the photos? Yes? No? They add a lot of extra time when it comes to putting together a post, but I think it's cute.
