Shopping for a bed?

Because watching people fall is just so funny.

Goodbye, Tim Russert!

Obviously people die every day. Famous people die all the time, but usually I'm not affected. Heath Ledger was a difficult one to get over, and now Tim Russert has died. Most of you probably don't know who he is, but he was a political commentator for NBC. I am an avid watcher of "Today" and he made an appearance almost every morning talking about the upcoming election. Since I watch "Today" while I am getting ready, I don't usually watch, I listen. I had become very familiar with Tim's voice and I really enjoyed listening to his comments. I am usually not a fan of politics, but I seriously enjoyed the way he reported them. When I first saw that he died, I was seriously in shock. Even though I didn't know him personally, his death did make me stop and think like death usually does.




Life is short and death can come at anytime. As a planner, I hate that I don't know when it will come, but the good thing is that I can prepare myself on a daily basis. Not that I want to prepare to die, but I want to prepare myself to be judged on my actions here on earth.

Everywhere Like Such As

I wanted to share a view videos that I watch on a pretty regular basis. I hope you all have seen this one. I personally believe that . . . this is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. I'm pretty sure I have it memorized.

Watch Your Step

I can't even tell you how often we have watched this one.

You Can Take it on the Bus!

This is also an apartment favorite. You know you want one!

It Takes the Work Out of Your Work Day!

I hope that all of you have already seen this, but if you haven't, you need to. I nearly wet myself the first time I watched it. You probably won't think it's that funny, but I hope you will at least chuckle.

What's Your Love Language?

I'm trying to make up for being a slacker. So in my ward we have this Communications class for Sunday School each week. This past Sunday the lesson was entitled: What is your Love Language? It was awesome. We had to determine which of the 5 love languages we used and how we like to receive love. The options:

#1 Words of Affirmation

Verbal compliments or words of appreciation are powerful to communicators of love. These people need to be told they are pretty, smart and need to hear thank you, I'm sorry, please etc.

#2 Quality Time

Giving someone your undivided attention. These people need to feel the other person is focusing on them and willing to have a quality conversation.

#3 Receiving Gifts

Gifts are a visual symbol of love. It's not necessarily the gift that counts, but the thought that goes into it. The gift of self is also important to these people.

#4 Acts of Service

Acts of service require thought, planning, time, effort and energy. This shows how selfless the other person is, not matter how big or small the act is.

#5 Physical Touch

The body was made for touching, and these people need to have physical contact to feel loved or show love.

After listening to all these, I realized how high maintenance I really am. I'm pretty sure I am all of these except or physical touch. I can do without the touching. I think I show my love for my friends and family through Acts of Service and Words of Affirmation. I want people to show they care for me through Words of Affirmation, Acts of Service, Quality Time and Giving Gifts. Needy, I know. I think the most important thing to me is hearing the words "Thank you" and "I'm sorry." I think they say a lot about a person and can fix anything.
