Back by popular demand....Conversations with Jessie.
Scene: A girl from Jessie's school is coming over to work on a project with her:
Jessie: This girl is seriously the most beautiful girl you will ever see. So pretty in fact, that I had to do my makeup again.
Heather: Really? Well based on the way I look right now, I am glad that I am leaving.
Jessie: Seriously. The prettiest girl ever.
Mom: Well, I think that Heather and Jessie are the prettiest girls ever.
Jessie:(slight pause to consider) Yeah, no. After you see this girl, you will change your mind.
I never got to see her, but hotter than a Mother's love? Wow.

Overheard conversations #1
Scene: Stoneridge mall, Macy's employee talking to a customer in line:
"Oh my gosh, my ex-boyfriend went into a pet store one time and there was this parrot there, and it called him a buttface."
Awesome.

Rockin' the Downward Dog
I have started taking yoga with my mom and sis. It's awesome. Love it. I was very nervous about this class because, let's face it I am about as flexible as well...a 2x4. However, on the first dayof class my instuctor said something that really put my mind at ease.
Yoga is not a competitive sport.
So true. Even still, I have never been able to bend and touch my toes, which can be a little embarrasing when others in the class can basically fold in half 5 times. But tonight she said something that I now will use as my mantra for yoga class: "Yoga will never hurt you, but your ego will."
So take that ego! I will grab those toes some day!

Oh Honey! It's our first (fill in the blank)!
The first year of marriage is full of "firsts." First Thanksgiving. First Chirstmas. First Valentine's day. First married birthday. And next month, our first March 21st. Exciting, I know.
But what is more exciting to me regarding these firsts is that I remember some of the real firsts that Grant and I had together. I remember the actual first Valentine's Day we had. He gave me a cheesy card with some lame joke on it and in the "to" line he wrote Heather Locklear, crossed it out and wrote Andersen. I still have it.
Then for my first birthday together I walked into the band room (that's right people, the band room) with a huge bunch of balloons and a flowers from my friends and Grant asked me, "Who are those for?" To which I replied, "They are mine...for my birthday today." Really great impression to make, forget your crush's birthday. So what did he do? He went out into the field and picked me a bouquet of tiny daisy's. I still have those as well.
I still can't beleive that I have known Grant for half my life. As fast as it all has gone by, when I really think about it, it has been a really long time. I was 12 years old when I met him in math class. 12! Just a baby. When I think back on that class, I never would have believed that my husband was sitting behind me. Then again, maybe I would have, because I think I have always known.

My least favs....
1. Applesauce: I enjoy a raw apple now and again; cook the thing and mash it up...appaling.
2. The Wind: I just wish it would stop being so...so windy.
3. Raisins in cookies: Well raisins in general really. However, raisins in cookies (or "land mines" as I refer to them) are unacceptable.
4. The grade "B+" or an 89%: To me, this grade is worse than a "C." If I got a "C" it is because I did not try to do any better. But 89% means all I needed to give was an extra 1%! Come on!
5. "EVOO": Would you just say "Extra Virgin Olive Oil" already!?!?
Everything else I am pretty cool with.

Snow Shoeing
I am just going to come right out and say it. I look hot. I mean those glasses? Can you dig it?

Why?!?!
Why is it that when you have a swollen taste bud, which is practically invisble to the naked eye, it feels like there is a piano sitting on my tounge?
What is up with that anyway?

Best weekend ever!
It really is easy to have the best weekend ever when you have the best friends ever.
It started with a little holiday adventure to Arden Fair Mall to take a picture with Santa to get us in the holiday spirit. We then enjoyed a lovely feast of Morraccan food where we ate with our hands only, (way to go Toni!)and saw some belly dancers. To top the whole weekend off, all eight of us curled up around the fire and watched one of the greatest Christmas movies of all times, National Lampoon's Chistmas Vacation. I mean, what doesn't say "good times" more than Chevy Chase's redition of Joy to the World?

Finally!
Everytime, without fail, the first thing I think of when I walk into the dry cleaners is, "Maybe today. Maybe today will be the day that the cleaner doesn't have to push the button that rotates the clothes and brings your freshly pressed garments to you because my clothes will be right in front, waiting for me."
Yesterday, my friends, was that day. I knew the odds were not in my favor but I whole-heartedly beleived that one day it would happen. And happen it did, as if my skirt knew I was coming.
This incident has restored my hope that the day will come that my luggage will be the first piece off the ramp at baggage claim. I girl can dream, can't she?

Our First Christmas: Act 1, Scene 1
Heather: How about this one?
Grant: It's too small.
Heather: No it's not. It's fine.
Grant: It has to be at least as tall as me, at least!
Heather: But honey...
Grant: No. In fact, I need to have to reach to put the tree topper on, okay!
Heather: Okay.
Grant: If that one was for sale, I would take it home with me (pointing to the 40 foot pine tree growing in the Target parking lot.)
Heather: Ok, this one is too small.
Grant: It's too small.
Heather: No it's not. It's fine.

If it's wrong....
...then I'm as wrong as wrong can be. That's right! I am not ashamed to admit it! I have been listening to 96.5, and it's non-stop Chirstmas music. I know, it's lame, but it makes me happy and you can't stop me from doing it. You can tease all you want, but to you I say tis the freakin' season Ebenezer!
Please keep speaking to me.

My little Brittaney is all grown up!
I would like to dedicate this post to my best friend Brittaney because today she turns a quarter of a century old.
I have to say, in my completely unbiased opinion, that we have the best friendship ever. We talk to each other almost everyday. We always support each other when need be. I know that no matter what, I can count on Brittaney. We can make each other laugh, even when no one else thinks we are being funny. And we have only had one fight, which Brittaney may try to tell you that I was being unreasonable but don't buy it.
Anyway, Happy Birthday B. I love you.
Love,
Your Heather

I must be getting old.
Let me tell you why.
Last night Grant and I went to a show in the city which I was happy to be going to because I was going to be spending the evening with my husband, but if it had been up to me, we would not have been going.
Anyway, we drive to the city and I go to get my ID and ATM card out of my purse when I realize, my ID is not in my purse. It was then that Grant tells me this is a 21 and up show...fantastic.
We wait in line for our tickets, which we have already purchased of course and the whole time I am saying, "This is never going to work." They were checking all IDs. So we got up to the door and Grant tells the guy, "My wife forgot her ID is there any way that we can..."
The bouncer looks at Grant's ID and looks at me and says, "What's his birthday?" Which I recite. Then he asks, "What's your birthday?" Which I also recite. He then says, "Alright, go on in."
Nice! It was so simple. So I guess it comes down to this, either the guy thinks "What's the big deal, she is probably over 21." Or, "There is no way that woman is under the age of 21."
I hope he was not thinking the latter. It's probably unlikely. Whatever, it got me in.
