Big Foot ... more like Big FAKE

I'm pretty relieved. The big foot scare was yet another (hoax) by some back woods tricksters.

In the infamous words of Michael Scott:


"Fool me once, strike 1. Fool me twice, strike 3"

Quote of the Day

"Furry Friend Fracturer"

big foot .. Big Foot .. BIG FOOT!

That is what I've been chanting at my little sisters all day today. Why, you ask? Because last night, before I shut my little eyes to go to sleep, I beheld THIS BEAST


...and hours of nightmares ensued. This is a picture from (this article) which I found on cnn.com.

CNN? Are you crapping me? Pardon my fake curse word. Hoax or no hoax, just the fact that this creeptastic picture made it onto the fairly respectable pages of CNN makes me think twice before gallivanting around in any wooded area any time soon. Here's the thing, CNN doesn't completely shut it down as fake. Like, there is some web editor shaking in his wittle bootsies because there's just not enough evidence yet that the story isn't legitimate. That is what is so unsettling about it. There have been no follow up articles headed as "Big Foot in the Freezer a Hoax" or anything of the sort!

I want to get to the bottom of this. You can't just dangle a grotesque rotting sasquatch corpse in front of me and expect me to sleep soundly at night until I know the truth. Dearest Discovery Channel.. This is something I think you should pick up. Get in there. Get dirty. Have Sasquatch week, whatever it takes! How have you not jumped on this big hairy bandwagon yet? For shame. So this is my ultimatum for all of the 'squatch scientists out there:

Either prove all this business false, or invent the best darn sasquatch repellent you can muster and send it to me pronto. That's not a request.

I feel ya Lilo....

This scene from lilo and stitch has always made me laugh. She puts on the song "Hound Dog" and just lays down in the middle of the floor, and tells her sister to:

Today was just one of those days. Ya the picture is pixal-ly. But its the only one I could find of this scene. Some days you just have to lay on the floor.

Slim Fast

A.K.A. "Equate Weight Loss Shake"

For the last 4 days in a row I have been getting back into the work out groove, and trying to eat
healthier. This is a team effort. Michelle and I work out every day at the gym. Every Day! I know right?! Its great. And I bought a bunch of Wal-Mart brand Slimfast and a ton of Lean Cuisines. Ya ya... commercial and processed, but its a hellofalot better for me than the fast food kick I've been on for the last month. The moral of the story is: I'm feeling healthier already. Chubby still? Yes. And I don't care. I prefer the term curvaceous.

This is probably my favorite Slimfast ad of all time.


"Need to lose a little weight before your wedding?"


p.s. NO I'm no where close to getting married. I just think the ad is wickedly funny.

"She threw up her dinner by the dumpster. Maybe she's bulimic... She's lost a lot of weight... She looks really good!!"

Happy Birthday Steve!

Happy Upside Down Birthday!

"Its not that I don't want to see you, its just that I am reading breaking dawn and Michelle is asleep. Maybe later."

That was my reply when Steve called and said he wanted to come visit me and Michelle, because he was only in Provo for one more day. I'm sorry Steve. You know how girls get with those Twilight books.

Anyhoo, I was about to go to bed on Saturday night... like literally getting in my bed when I figured I should check my phone. Sure enough, Steve was back in town and wanted to come hang out. So I went back over to Michelle's and he met us over there. What did we do? We watched the discovery channel of course. It was Shark Week! After like an hour of watching a documentary on bloody shark attacks, we decided we wanted a treat. So... we went over to one of Steve's little friend's houses to pick up a birthday cake she made for him. We were bringing it back to Michelle's house to devour it, but SOMEBODY insisted we stopped on the way to get some milk. A gallon of milk. At a gas station. At the walk through window. Weirdo.


Happy Birthday Steve. I've never seen anyone drink so much milk in my life. You are weird.


P.S. Steve loves a woman with bulimia.

Breaking Dawn

Yep. I bought it last night at midnight. Originally, the plan was to have Michelle buy hers at Deseret Book (no line, suckas!) and then she would read it and I would just wait for her to finish. BUT as we were waiting in the parking lot for her roommate to make a quick run to Wal-mart, that all changed. We decided it was only fair for me to bust it open and read out loud so that I could be in on the fun at least until we got home so I could sleep. Ten pages in, I was hooked. So we walked in to Wally World and I picked up a book of my own. Once again, sans the 6000 person line at B&N. Excellent.

There were some parts that left me less than enchanted.. some that were just not believable, some that bored me and some that left a TMI factor burning in my brain. Still, Stephanie Meyer is an amazing writer. Even when the content is lacking, I'm so entertained by the way its written I don't even notice.

I read it all. I stopped once to sleep, and twice to pee. My eyeballs hurt. Was it worth it? Eventually. For a minute. But honestly, if someone had just pasted the first three chapters to the last three pages, I would have been a happy camper. enough with all the drama.

UPDATE 4.29.09: I will save this post for posterity, but just know, I have grown to hate that book. I have not picked it up again since, and thinking about it grosses me out. It's too weird.

"So Kristin, are you dating anyone?"

People keep asking, so I might as well answer. A couple weeks ago I met a very dashing young man. He's going through kind of a rough patch right now, so things are a little complicated. He just totalled his car, AND his motorcycle, and then lost one of his friends in a freak accident. So we're taking it a little slow. He's been pretty busy lately too, so I only get to see him on weekends at the Provo Towne Center Cinemark. His name is Bruce Wayne.

We're trying to keep it kind of quiet.
