Today:
I saw fog rolling over the mountains in preparation for the storm.
I heard the high pitch whine of the drill cutting through my desk in search of escape.
I smelled really delicious cinnamon almonds really permeating the air.
I touched the soft mushy grip of my new pen as I check invoices.
I tasted a smooth creamy chocolate mint truffle melting in my mouth.

Another guilty pleasure.
This book comes out today! If you know me then you know that I'm dying for Down Home Zombie Blues, if you thought it sounded sci-fi (and the cover obviously implies romance), then you are right, hence my chagrin. Can't help what you enjoy I guess.
I'm back!
Sorry about my lack of blogging (if any of you read this!) my new schedule is a bit insane really! Those of you do I hope you'll have well fun!

My bucket list.
I saw a preview for a movie where the two main characters try to complete a list of things they want to do before they die. So these are some things I want to do!
Go to India and Africa for a least a month a piece.
Find a princess ring, my grandfather got one for my mother when she was young, it's an Indian ring with several different stones. It's not quite like the picture but you get the idea.
Write a column, hopefully a syndicated one! I'd also like to publish a book.
Go base jumping or skydiving. I really don't like heights, so this one could be quite overwhelming.
Become a master cake maker. I like to bake, and I can make a decent chocolate cake, but I want to do full out stacked, fondant decorated, piped cakes! How cool would that be!
Climb Mt. Timpanogos.
Learn to sew, not just make your kids Halloween costume sew, make my own couture clothing. A pipe dream maybe, but a dream nonetheless.
Go to school to become an interior decorator, it's a tough major!
Get skinny, hey who doesn't want to be a size 2 these days?

10 dislikes
My blog is full of things I either love or want so I thought I'd shake things up!
10 things I could do without:
10. People who say "Funner" or "Funnest", those ain't words people!
9. The crunching of cotton balls or snow, the second I hear it I cringe and all of the sudden my skin is crawling in goosebumps. Too bad Utah is full of long winters!
8. People who don't use the left lane of traffic correctly. I'll admit I'm a speeder, the left lane is the passing lane, and slow people should move on over!
7. When you loan something you love to somebody and they just trash it, so inconsiderate.
6. When people say unkind things about a friend or loved one of yours, it just isn't smart. It's going to get repeated. I'm loyal, I don't like people who aren't.
5. Dirty politics. Anybody with sense will tell you that there's no such thing as a politician with nothing to hide. So don't run a smear campaign, it only makes you look petty.
4. Backhanded compliments. It drives people crazy when you tell them they look so good for having 6 children. Jeez, exercise a little common sense.
3. Being politically correct. Life isn't politically correct, life is messy and unfair. Overcompensating by tip toeing over important issues isn't going to improve anything(e.g. the M&M campaign a few years back, they were changing the original M&M's from plain to milk. Did anybody care?).
2. I really don't like being called Whit, it's way too common to be a good nickname. Get a little creative, my youngest sister calls me Whitspit, and Melissa calls me Skinny(get it? Cause I'm not!), you get the idea!
1. I hate it when people talk about gross things, keep it too your self. Anything that relates to blemishes, flatulence, or any other kind of crudness; that is something I definitely don't want to know about!

I'm craving...
