I've been tagged! This means that you all get to read a few juicy tidbits about my life that most people don't know...here we go!
#1. My comp and I took covert Funk dance class on our mission. This is true, and I'm not at ashamed. In my mission in the south of France the sisters couldn't proselyte after dark. My comp and I didn't want to waste all of those night hours during the winter (it got dark at 4:00) sitting at home eating. We came up with a plan and looked all over the city for an affordable gym. In the end we settled on signing up for a "Funk" dance class. The first dance we learned was to the song "Voulez-vous chouchez avec moi", preformed by the Pussy Cat Dolls. You can imagine what it translated into.
#2. I have strong opinions about EVERYTHING! I don't share even a fraction of my opinions with others because chances are that if I did you probably wouldn't be my friend. Not that they are bad opinions I just think there is a right way and a wrong way. Most of these strong opinions are about the gospel. Once Tom and I got in an argument about what "Intelligences" really are as referred to in the Book of Abraham. We almost broke up because we were not able to come to an agreement.
#3. I kind of wish I was Japanese. They are such beautiful people with their dark hair, exotic looks. Not like my "Finnish" blond hair which is neither a beautiful blond or an elegant brown. I guess the grass is always greener though, right?
#4. I love to dress other people as much as I love to dress myself. A person walks by and I immediately put together a new, more flattering look for them. If I could be Stacey London, I would be in Heaven. I think the world needs a few more people with the right to say "you shouldn't be wearing that".
#5. I don't buy cheap imitation anything. This may sound like I am a snob, I'm not, I just don't see the point in pretending that I own something high end that isn't authentic. I would never purchase a fake Gucci or anything else. If I can't afford the real thing I won't get anything at all. That said I do not have a problem forking out over a thousand dollars for a purse that I really want....when we are not longer students that is! There is a great Chloe bag I've had my eye on for years!
#6. I once had a friend tell me that they liked being my friend because they never had to wonder where they stood with me. If I like a person, I am 100% loyal, their biggest fan, and will talk them up to everyone even to the person themselves. It's my philosophy that a person can never hear too many good things about themselves. Who doesn't like their own fan club? On the other hand I don't feel the need to be everyones friend. I just like some people better than others and I think everyone is like that, but few people actually admit it. Tom says I'm just mean, but I think I'm just honest!
I hope I didn't offend anyone by saying that, but if I check your blog or you have my blog address chances are that I like you and do consider you my friend, which means you have a loyal friend for life!
I tag...Tammie, Rhiannon, Sheena, and Addy!

I just found your blog from the Kerns. You are a good writer!
Hey Bridesmaid...
You look great, how's NYC? We just moved to Utah a couple of weeks ago...I miss AZ!
First: Funk dance class sounds awesome. Second, as long as I live in the East I will carry a fake bag for 3 reasons:
1. 99% of designer bags seen here are knock-offs and thus, all bags are assumed fake. I would hate to prove someone wrong with a real bag.
2. I love how the outside of my bag looks, while inside it is full of crumbs from cheerios and sippy cups. Doesn't matter though because the sucker only cost me $50.
3. I feel good inside knowing I am doing my part to feed the families of Canal Street.
However, once moving away from the East, I will no longer carry fakes. That would make me feel trashy. Strange how my mind works. This I know.
Oh, and please dress me anytime! Please!!
Your bag is cute, I do not judge your imitation bag, and your reasoning makes sense..."carry on".
Am I weird that I thought even the fakes were too expensive? (Maybe you'll let me hold your $1000 bag one day just to see what it feels like.) I like those $5 purses at the street fairs that pop up every week in The Village in the warm months. Then you can throw them away every week and get a new one. I guess I do my part to feed the families of Mercer Street.
I bet you might spend a pretty penny on a new pair of shoes though, right?
jenny, jenny, jenny. How dare you randomly stalk me through random blogs! I feel violated. Ha, how fun to hear from you. I can't believe you are all sex and the city and look so great. If you are ever back in AZ we all want to do a "i found you on blogger" reunion!
No no belt buckle. It is my goal that when i finally reach a happy weight i want to wear a fablulous belt with a fabulous buckle!
your little one is too cute.
Yay, I'm so glad I'm your friend!! I love all of this, it's so you. And I love that you wish you were Asian, they are exotic and beautiful ... but so are you. I bet there are several Asians that wish they looked like you.
you are awesome! i love reading stuff about you. i too wish i could afford a real bag. but sadly i don't think that day will ever come thus the fake bags for me. and i feel that everyone should tell it like it is otherwise you are just lying to yourself and everyone else and no one wants that.
You are too funny! I love that you do tell it how it is, even though it may not be what I want to hear. That's how it goes though.
i feel so blessed to have your comments. when will you be out here? i will think about inviting you to the party, you have to be careful with stalkers they can turn on you at any moment! give me your az dates i am going to try and be the date coordinator!

There's nothing wrong with being honest...the truth hurts sometimes!! Isn't it one of the ten commandments not to bear false witness? Are you guys coming to AZ for christmas or stayin back east?
Okay, a few things...
A) I'm glad you found me and I don't think you're a stalker
B) I love Stacey London!!! and I love that you love her. :)
C) Fake imitation crap makes me angry. Buy real or find something just as cool but in your price range!
FEEYEW..I am on your friend list. You are an honest person. I just don't EVER want to be on your bad side (smile). Your place looks awesome. I am glad that you are loving it. it makes like so much more enjoyable.
You are too much fun!! I had so much fun reading this, and getting to know you better. I love What not to Wear, but have never really had the budget or the know how to follow the advice given! Ha Ha Maybe you will have to give me a few tips.
Love ya,
Angie
Jenny,
I remember using 8-tracks in my 64 volkswagon bug, and when casettes came out, I was in awe.

Your Finnish heritage and the history of the people is way more cool than Japanese, although they are a close second. Remember, they are great runners, so with your speed, and the Wilsons lack of speed but have the great throwing arms, you will have great athletes for kids. I can see Tom prepping Haylie as the first female NFL quarterback (or even running back).
