To Do: Remember Arizona
Haha, I jacked this from Facebook.
You know you are from Arizona when...
You notice your car overheating before you drive it.
You no longer associate bridges or rivers with water.
You can hear the weather forecast of 115 degrees without flinching.
You can be in the snow, then drive for an hour...and it will be over 100 degrees.
You discover, in July it only takes two fingers to drive your car, because your steering wheel is so hot.
You run your air conditioner in the middle of winter so you can use your fireplace.
The best parking is determined by shade.....not distance.
You realize that "Valley Fever" isn't a disco dance.
You can make sun tea instantly.
Hotter water comes from the cold water tap than the hot one.
It's noon in July, kids are on summer vacation and yet all the streets are totally empty of both cars and people.
You actually burn your hand opening the car door.
Sunscreen is sold year round and kept right at the checkout counter.
You put on fresh sunscreen just to go check the mail box.
Some fools will market mini-misters for joggers and some other fools will actually buy them. Worse.....some fools actually try to jog.
You can pronounce Saguaro, Tempe, San Xavier, Canyon de Chelly, Mogollon Rim, Cholla, Gila and Tucson.
You can understand the reason for a town named "Why"
You can fry an egg on the hood of a car in the morning.
You know hot air balloons can't rise because the air temperature is hotter than the air inside the balloon.
You see two trees fighting over a dog.
You can say "Hohokam" and people don't think you're laughing funny.
You see more irrigation water on the street than there is in the Salt River
You have to go to a fake beach for some fake waves
You hear people say "but it's a dry heat!"
You buy salsa by the gallon.
Your Christmas decorations include sand and l00 paper bags.
You think a red light is merely a suggestion.
All of your out-of-state friends start to visit after October but clear out come the end of April.
You think someone driving wearing oven mitts is clever.
Most of the restaurants in town have the first name "El" or "Los."
You think 60 tons of crushed red rock makes a beautiful yard.
Your house is made of stucco and has a red clay tile roof.
Vehicles with open windows have the right-of-way in the summer.
Most homes have more firearms than people.
Kids ask, "What's a mosquito?"
People who have black cars or black upholstery in their car are automatically assumed to be from out of-state or nuts.
You know better than to get into a car with leather seats if you're wearing shorts.
You can finish a Big Gulp in 10 minutes and go back for seconds.
You take rain dances seriously.
When a rainy day puts you in a good mood.
When you drive two miles around a parking lot looking for a shady place - even in the dead of winter.
You feed your chickens ice cubes to keep them from laying hard-boiled eggs.
You "hug" a cactus only once in your lifetime.
When you have to look up "mass transit" in the dictionary.
A hundred ten in the shade is sorta hot, but you don't have to shovel it off your driveway.
A haboob happens.
Petrified doesn't mean scared.
The temperature drops below 95, you feel a bit chilly.
You've lived in AZ your whole life and have never been to the Grand Canyon
You would give anything to be able to splash cold water on your face.
You can attend any function wearing shorts and a tank top.
You realize that asphalt has a liquid state.
You realize that snowbirds aren't really birds at all, but just really bad out of state drivers that you learn to hate
There are only two temperatures, hot and hotter
Even thinking about not having air conditioning makes you sweat
You travel out of state and any sort of humidity nearly kills you
You have no idea why 48 other states (Hawaii doesn't do it either) insist on changing their clocks twice a year for this thing called "daylight savings time"

To Do: Walk On The Wild Side
(I hope that title gets this stuck in your head!! Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo!!)
Thank you Strapless Living for giving me the strength to come out with this...
I LOVE SONS OF ANARCHY!!!
Like hardcore.
Sometimes I feel like a dirty, biker chick when I watch it too.
(Except that I am terrified of motorcycles, I don't smoke or drink, and I keep my legs closed. But other than that I could totally be a regular on the show!!)
My lovely little nugget T got me hooked on this show when I spent time with him in Arizona. And since we are talking about him, I should mention that I love him. A lot.
I tell everyone that I just want to marry a Mormon/Marine. Well, my lovely little nugget is already Mormon... and he just told me the other day that he is enlisting in the Marine Corps.
I couldn't be happier for him!!!

Arizona: Day Seven
Williams, Arizona...
On our way to the Grand Canyon we had to meet my Beav in Williams. I once dated a guy from there and the President of my sorority was from there too. So... I texted my ex and guess what, he was in Williams. So we met him downtown and went to a bar. (TYVM, I still don't drink!)
This picture was taken right after we left the bar... at 11:45am!!!
Good ol' Main Street
Pay no attention to the confused guy in the background.
This town loves old men statues.
Arizona: Day Seven
The Grand Canyon...
Hello Cliff...
Me and the Beav...
This is where we are standing in that last picture... CRAZY!
This is my little dare devil!!
The dialogue while this picture was being taken...
Me: "PLEASE GET AWAY FROM THE CLIFF!"Him: "Its okay. I am fine"Me: "But I don't want to explain to your mom how you died!"

Arizona: Day Five/Six
Flagstaff, Arizona...
On Wednesday night I drove up to Flagstaff to spend time with my lovely little nugget T. We watched Sarah Palin's speech. I have to go with SGM on this one, I love her.
Then Thursday, I woke up, brought my lovely little nugget T breakfast at work, cleaned his apartment (quite the task), and went to walk around downtown Flagstaff.
...Friday though, is a post in its own!
Arizona: Day One
My Hometown...
This is a view from the front porch of my parent's house. This is why I love Arizona.
And because my mother loves to throw a good party, later that night we had everyone over - old friends & new
I woke up and went to church in my home ward. I got to see all the old familiar faces that give me comfort and support.
I then came home and went to the Labor Day Craft Fair with my mother. After that we came home and got ready for the party that evening.
I spent the night chatting with old friends, some who I haven't seen in years.
Then my lovely little nugget T and I headed out to a local bar. When we first got there, we noticed an old friend that I haven't seen for years. We started playing pool with everyone in the bar and listening to good music and catching up on old times. But this bar closed at midnight so we headed to the next bar. We show up and its karaoke night. We close this bar down after singing and dancing and having fun for hours.

To Do: Arizona
I am coming home *bitches! Get excited!
*I cuss thats my one flaw. okay.
I am so pumped. I miss Arizona so much. I haven't been home since Christmas and that was only for like 4 days.
I was talking to a co-worker who is also from Arizona and he was showing me pictures of his recent trip home of his ranch. It got me homesick. So I booked a flight and had my (retired) parents rearrange their travels for me. (thanks again!)
I look forward to:
-Prescott (its pronounced pres-kit) with my Beaver and going out on Whiskey Row. And seeing all my political family there.
-Flagstaff with Tyler, maybe seeing the Grand Canyon, maybe going kayaking like we talked about last night. Who knows.
-Scottsdale with Ryan and Casey. Oh, I love you boys. I can't wait to laugh with you and talk about old times.
-home with the family, since you did rearrange your vacation at the last minute since I got home sick.
-seeing you, and you, and you.
I am just so excited. I want to see everyone. Ill be home Aug 30th - Sept 7th. Yay!!

Flickr Friday: Remembering Arizona
I want to start posting some great images from Arizona.
I want everyone to see how beautiful my home state is but I am mostly doing this for me. :)
This image is of the Hayden Flour Mill right in the middle of Tempe where I used to live. I loved hiking A Mountian at sunset. This is an awesome image.
