Why am I not laughing?
I have been trying to figure out why I am not funny anymore. I think it may be because I haven't had anything to complain about for a while and that always makes for a good read. I'm starting to worry that I am turning into an old lady. One that isn't interesting. Or funny. I'm not happy about it.
I'm going to try and recharge my hilariousness and take a look at some of my favorite posts from blogs past:
I said my son has Blue Legs.
Best Ever
Maybe you didn't quite understand
Who's complaining?
This one isn't so much funny, but it is still one of my favorites:
The Best Christmas Present Ever
And my favorite Movie Review:
Twilight.
I hope this can get me back on track.
Here, I am going to say the first thing that pops into my head:
George Carlin's ponytail made me second guess bringing children into the world.
Well? How did I do? Is the funniness back?

Biggest Loser Rules and Regulations.
This is adapted from the first Biggest Loser Competition...
I'm sooo excited that you guys want to do this with me! Here is how it's going to go down:
-I really want to do this in accordance with the show which means we will only have enough spots for 16 people. This season is not a couples season- sorry dudes.
- We will each be contributing $20.00 to the pot. Most of your money will go to the first prize winner and the rest of the money will be split for the 2nd and 3rd prizes. I promise I will take special care of your money.
- We will have our first weigh-in on Tuesday, Sept 15th that is next week! We will have to watch the show Tuesday night to see how things are going to roll and do our stuff accordingly the following week. I will expect your weigh-in information Tuesday morning. FYI- IF I DON'T RECEIVE YOUR STATS BEFORE EACH SHOW ON TUESDAY I WILL ASSUME THAT YOU ARE OUT OF THE COMPETITION. Apparently this is serious business. If you can't post your info you can call, text, email or hunt me down and I will do it for you. I will post all of my information on the blog.
- If someone is eliminated during the premiere- we will be eliminating two people the following week to catch up.
-We will not be voting. The percentage of body weight loss will be the only determining factor in our competition.
- Please be honest when posting. Please use the same scale from the first weigh-in to the last. You will be using your own scale and we are trusting you to do the right thing.
- I will try and give everyone in the group access to posting on the blog. If I miss you, please let me know.
- I think the most important things to post are your current weight (on said day) and your diet/work-out plan. Also, if you would like, you can post other things such as inches, goals, and (if you are brave) pictures. Please know that this is a very friendly competition and we won't make judgments or share the posted information with people outside of the competition. Please. :)
- Please feel free to post anything you want to about your weight loss journey. This is not only a competition, but a support group as well.
I think that is it. If I have missed something- please let me know.
I'm so ready to be a loser.
These are the people I am counting on as of right now. If you read the rules and didn't like what you saw- let me know and I will take you off the list.
1- Cicely Cain
2- Emily Hurst
3- Jolyne Dickinson
4- Paul Dickinson
5- Sabrena Suite

Better hurry. Spots are filling up fast.
We have more people playing that I anticipated. If we can get 16 more people that would be great, if not we may have to make the cut where it stands. I have also been debating doing teams and averaging the percentage of weight lost between the couple.
Loves.

I'm a Biggest Loser Contestant.
So my favorite show on television is The Biggest Loser and it is back in a big way starting next Tuesday the 15th on NBC.
Previously, I hosted a biggest loser blog to lose weight and to try and steal money from my friends. I worked my butt off and although I didn't get the prize $ at the end- I did get more fit than I have been in years and I enjoyed being naked which was my real reward. I lost 10% of my body weight and 16 lbs!
Recently I have been eating excessive amounts of Oreos and Havarti cheese. I'm ready to start my exercise program again and I want you to be a part of it.
I am doing things a little differently this time: I'm taking my cue from the show and we will be eliminating one person each week- that is- if there is an elimination on the show that week. I think this way it will be easier to stay motivated the whole time and not put it off until later.
I know this is short notice, but if you are interested in participating- let me know quickly! We will be starting the competition on Tuesday. I hope we can get at least 16 contestants on our show.
ps. Those of you who played last time- this is a great chance to redeem yourself.

I'm sick.
So, as I said before, I have started my movie reviews again and although I have reviewed some pretty lame movies, I finally did one that might be of interest. So, to make me feel better about myself- please check out my review of Twilight and tell me whether or not you agree with my interpretation.

Things that make you go hmm.....
Does anyone remember the C + C Music Factory? I do.
I have no intentions for this post. In fact, I just sat here for a good 45 seconds trying to come up with something to write. And nothing came to mind. I guess I will just pot some things I've been thinking about recently...
-I'm in the nursery in my ward. Today I was reading a story about dump trucks to a 2 year-old when he said this: "excavator!" How does this kid know what an excavator is? I didn't know what an excavator was until I read that book. How many other things don't I know that most 2 years do?
-The R button on my laptop comes off almost everytime I use it. It's awesome.
-Why do I feel bad that Miles doesn't know what an fork lift is?
-I wonder if my sister Sabrena ever gets mad that her childhood wish of getting a chocolate cake the size of the world never came true.
-I think I'm going to make myself a banana split.
-Miles wouldn't eat any lunch or dinner. Is it wrong for me to put him down for the night without giving him something to eat first? Am I starving my baby?
-I just started reading our book club book called- The Professor and The Madmad by Simon Winchester. I'm pretty sure I'm the stupidest person on the planet. I wish I was smart like Sabrena.
-I wish I was strong like Cassandra.
-I wish I was passionate like Celeste.
-I wish I was just like my Mom.
-I wish I could call my grandma right now.
-I really love my husband. Like more than a friend.
-Last night I had a dream that my belly got so big that David had to get a crane to lift me out of bed. And also most of my teeth had fallen out.
-This morning I wanted a crane to lift me out of bed. My teeth are still in tact.
-We stopped all TV watching and snacks at out our house. Miles is an entirely different person. I do feel bad that sometimes I down some marshmallows while he isn't looking, but I still do it.
-Sometimes I feel like if I wanted to badly enough I could write. Not well, but I could write. I could write my thoughts, my theories, or about my past and present and maybe what I want my future to become. I could put them all together in a random pattern and people could read them. Or not. And then I remember I have a blog. And I use it to do just that. I love blogging.
-I also love to say it. "Blogging."
Well, I guess that's all for now. I'm peacing out.

Website-iggity.
Hello again team. I thought it important for me share a few of my very favorite websites with you because if anyone was withholding such awesome sites as these- I would want them to be shared with me...
Kid Fantastics.
Make and Takes. This is a website hosted by a friend of mine and a best friend of my sister Sabrena. It is fantastic! It is all about activities and fun things to do with your kids. If I could marry a website- it would be this one.
Martha Stewart has contacted her about doing some stuff for her show. Martha. Stewart. That's right! So, can't thing of something fun to do? How about homemade play dough. Want to throw out all your old crayons? No need with her recycled chunky crayon recipe. The girl is a genius. Go ahead and take a peek.
Clean Up.
My Flylady. Don't be fooled by the ghetto website. This woman has made me a whole new person.
Let me explain, I like to have a clean and organized house, but for some reason it doesn't stick. I will clean it in the morning and by nightfall the kitchen stinks, the toys are all over the place and I'm so tired I can't move. Well, that is how I used to feel. Now, I follow her "baby steps" plan and my house has been clean for 3 weeks and ther is no filthiness in sight. Three Weeks people! Try it. Please. I can't express my gratitute for the Flylady. I find myself having so much more me time- which leads me to my next favorite...
Book Club Blog
Now that I have all this time to relax- what am I going to do? Read, my friends, read. Expand my mind. Get whisked away to different centuries or planets or just stay here on earth and see what other people are feeling and doing and eating and loving.
So, I started a Book Club Blog. I would love to have you join me. If you are interested leave me a commment or drop me an email and I will gladly add you as a "blog author."
Tunes.
And last, but not least, Pandora. This is the music of the future. Create your own radio station and enjoy tunes that are only to your liking. I love this site.
I hope you find any or all of these helpful. I'm serious here- I feel like a brand new person. Good luck! And report back- I'm anxious to see how helpful they are to you.

Best Ever
So, after reading my hilarious husband's hilarious blog- I decided to try and top it and what better way than to show you the very best ever picture of myself.
I think I must be 15 or 16 and in my volleyball attire at this time and yes, David and I were together and yes, he does still love me. ...As far as I know.
I think you will enjoy this... I'm making you scroll down for dramatic affect.
If you are having trouble viewing this pic (and I mean trouble actually seeing it, not trouble looking at it) just image google "Cicely Suite". Can't miss it.
Man, I'm sexy.
I decided it would be best to put up a picture of me today so that you can see that I don't actually look like that.
I am now challenging any or all of you to post a horrid picture of you in your younger years- I'm tagging you if you will.
Good luck!

Unreal.
I just discovered blog fun for hours...
If you haven't tried out the "next blog" button at the top of the blogger screen- do it. It is fascinating. I love to observe people- especially people who are crazy.
Do it. I know you'll love it.
