Blogging Terminology...

As a fairly new member of the blogging society I sometimes get lost in the blog world so I decided to get updated on the latest blogging terminology. Here were a few of my favorites...


Blawg: A law blog (I actually already new this one from Arrested Development so I felt good going into this)


Bloggies: A popular blog award


Bloggernacle: Blogs written by and for Mormons (really liked this one, being a Mormon and all)


Moblog: A blog mainly updated through a mobile phone.


Vlog: A blogger that mainly does videos for there blog


I thought all of these different types of blogs were very interesting but I was more interested in learning lingo I could use. It took me awhile to figure out who my SIL was talking about in her blog when she used terms like the one previously in this sentence. SIL=sister-in-law . I was unable to find such short hands besides family members and ppl for people. So I ask you all you seasoned bloggers...what lingo wisdom can you pass on to me so I can one day achieve the exceptional quality of blogging all of you have? Please comment. Thanks.

91 Minutes I'll never get back!

When in Rome is by far one of 2010's worse movies. I must confess I think we all knew that going into it but we still had some hope. Our excuse....Veronica Mars. Randomly last week my sister, Jen, and Paul and I all started watching a t.v. series called Veronica Mars starring Kristen Bell. Jen did on her own without us knowing and cause Paul and I were sick we decided it could keep us occupied as we lay in bed. Anyway, the three of us had been watching that series and this movie had come out earlier this year both of which have Kristen Bell so we thought why not. Paul, Dianna, and I went over to Jen's for dinner and a movie last night. Dinner was great but the movie not so much. It was over acted and ridiculously silly. And can I say no one wants to see Danny De Vito chasing after anyone let alone a young, cute girl. The only redeeming thing about it was "sausage" that is all I can say. Anyway, save yourself the time and skip this one even if you are in the mood for a chick flick just watch one you have already seen.

Summer Sickness...

About four weeks ago I started getting sick. Right before going out of town to the cabin for the 4th of July I went to the doctors and found out I had bronchitis. I took some antibiotics and was feeling better but still not 100%. Then this past Sunday Paul and I both woke up sick. After being uplifted by SPAIN'S victory we went to church. By the time church was out Paul and I were drained of energy, we work in the nursery, and decided to take a nap. I woke up and started making dinner. Paul woke up a bit later and came out in the kitchen to chat. He was up for about ten minutes and then he blacked out. Thankfully right before he blacked out he said "I am going to pass out". Although I couldn't completely catch him I was able to slow down the fall so that he didn't hurt himself. I freaked out and started crying while fanning him and slapping him as I yelled "wake up!". Once he woke up his fever he had previously had seemed to have dropped dramatically. I immediately called our friends near by to help me take him to the doctors and before I could finish dressing Paul they were there. Paul said he was better and didn't want to go to the doctor so our friend, Tyler, gave him a blessing. By the time they left Paul had color back in his face and looked good. He woke up the next day with a fever again. He said again he didn't want to go to the doctor. So on Tuesday we went cause he still had a fever. After a urine test, blood test, and mouth swab all they said was to rest and take Tylenol. Great right? Anyway, we slept on and off all day yesterday and both felt good to go to work today. I just hope that we continue to get better. It has been a though few weeks but I am glad we are doing better. Paul blacking out was by far the scariest thing I have experienced. I guess I don't do as well as I would like to think when "under pressure".

Viva Espana!

It has officially been determined, by Paul the German Physic Octopus, Spain will win the 2010 World Cup!
