A fine line

How do you distinguish between being arrogant and just being confident? Its such a fine line and sometimes it gets crossed. How do you tell people that they are kind of full of themselves? And to not be "SO" confindent in themselves or is that you are just not confident in yourself so you see their confidence as annoying and arrogant? That is my random thought of the day.

Pumpkins

Yes I did wear rubber gloves if not I may have vommited all over. Yucky squishyhess NO THANKS

First you have to kill the the pumpkin by stabbing it with a large kitchen knife ;)

I like pumpkins YUMMY!!

This is what it looked like right before I carved it.

He could not figure out where the noise of the poking the holes was coming from.

Ya it was really cool but word of advice don't carve your pumpkins two weeks before Halloween and then it being 75 degrees outside. Pumpkins don't fare very well so we never got to put them out :(

Body Worlds

I recently went to see the Body Worlds 3 exhibit at the Leonardo with my best friend Staci and her wonderful sister and husband and baby. The exhibition's developer and promoter is a German anatomist named Gunther von Hagens, who invented the plastination technique in the late 1970s at the University of Heidelberg. It was probably one of the most amazing things I have seen. All the human bodies and organs are real and I learned SOOOO much from this.

Gunther von Hagens’ BODY WORLDS 3 & The Story of the Heart presents the form, function, complexity and beauty of the human body. Featuring a unique collection of more than 200 authentic human specimens including whole-body plastinates, organs and translucent body slices, this exhibit offers visitors profound insights into the human body, health and disease, and the intricate world of the cardiovascular system.

This the poster out side the Leonardo, and that is Tricia (she didn't know I was talking this picture)

This is the same picture just a different angle, the pictures that follow this are of real human bodies I just want to forewarn you, I do not believe it will be gross to anyone haha. Also I kinda was not suppose to be taking pictures so some are not that clear cause they are shot with a cell phone (which some are not that bad for that) and very secretively ( I am a sneaky little devil) ENJOY!!

This picture is or real human lung of a smoker. I was shocked when I saw these, there was one that was filled with hole. I learned this information "If you smoke 20 cigarettes an day it is equal to a coffee cup of TAR a year" so drink up.

This was probably my favorite part it was sad but very interesting ( I say sad because babies had to die in order for this section to be possible) But they had these test tubes of different stages and the stage before you get to this one in the box was the most fascinating to me.

I can not remember what stage of pregnancy it was but the embryo was about the size of my thumb nail and it already had little tiny hand and little nubby fingers and toes. I was so small I was amazed at what it had (I know you can see these things in books but it is far more amazing to see it first hand) This baby below I believe was 16 weeks (not sure though)

I really wish this would have turned out better, but its a woman's body cut into three sections and you can just see all the insides.

Same with thin one, this man (obviously haha) is cut from his belly button up and you can see his spine is exposed and you can see his brain.

This was one of my favorites probably because I am a dancer and fascinated with the splits. If you can see his back is cut open and flipped open. What you can't see is in his hand above he is holding his organs i his hand. I was amazed at how big the are and that they all fit in our tiny little midsections.

I took a picture of the foot close up because I think when feet are pointed it is beautiful I just love the was they look.

This picture I will admit is kind of gross, its are intestine I raveled.

This is probably one the best pictures I took (there are two of the same one is a little closer) this is man and a woman I can not remember what the pose was called. Bit the man (on the right) his spine and organs are coming out the back and the woman it is her spine brain and nervous system.

Some little tidbit information i learned. The human hearts pumps 1,800 (yes 1,800) gallons of blood a day ( i think it was like 16 quarts per min) It takes 15 muscles to smile. I also learned that it is possible to die from a broken heart, it is like having a heart attack you have shortness of breath and all the but the only difference is people die from a broken hear have no signs of blood clots or things like that. There was so much more information that i wont bore you with but I would highly recommend checking it out.

So please read the blog and pray for those serving for us.

About the date

let just say it didn't go so well. He really was not my kind of guy and I just felt really uncomfortable and wanted to leave. Luckily we only went to dinner and drove separate and I could leave right after dinner. Let just say he wore a white beater nough said.

But I did go on another date tonight with a guy named Cody he was really cute and easy to talk to. We had a good time, we were suppose to go bowling (my choice I love it) but when we got there, there was a league going on and it would be two hours before we could get a lane. So we went over and got ice cream instead. then we just sat outside and talked for three hours it was fun.

Loves,
Amanda

A night fior Mary

A couple weekend ago Jennie and I took our friend form work out for a night. Her husband is serving in Iraq and her and her daughter were having a hard time so we took her out to get her mind off of it for a little while, we went to the bar Keys on Main.

Jennie and Travis
Mary and I think it was her sister-in-law (sorry about the picture mary haha) they were a lot of fun and I hope they had a lot of fun too.

Jennie and me, NO I am not drunk, Jennis just a little. Word of advice don't give a smale person 3 Long Islands the night will not end well. But it is partly my fault becasue I bought her the last one OPPS!!!

Yes Josh really was not having fun, I felt really bad cause he was not having a good time.

A fun Saturday

A couple Saturdays ago I babysat my cousin EMily's kids for her. I never mind watching them because they are such good kids and always fun to be around. Here are a couple of pictures.

Gavin the little chunky boy, he is so cute and a very good baby he didn't even cry once while I was there.

Brooklyn coloring.

Cayden playing Wii he is very skilled at playing. I believe he was play Indiana Jones Lego game, he showed me all his charaters that he had and even made me a Wii character.

Making sure those nails are nice and dry

The toes, there is a flower on her big toes, she was sweet enough to hold still for all of it but not som uch to let it dry. But thats ok it was still so much fun

Pretty yellow and purple, there are decals on there but you can't see them.

Brookie not only showing off her newly painted nails but also a dance move.

Hey, It's Ok....

... To take all the credit

... to consider yourself the most sophisticated woman since Audrey Hepburn, but still sleep with stuffed animals

... to ignore any e-mails with the subject line beginning, "FWD:FWD:FWD."

... to use the zoom lens on your friend's camera to keep an eye on your ex-boyfriend at the wedding you're both attending

... to wonder whether Indiana Jones is a little to old to be traipsing around like that.

... to say "Oh, it's vintage" when someone complitments you on your Wet Seal sundress you've been wearing since high school.

... to get it with fries.

... to have never quite mastered the public- toilet hovering move.

... to skip the whole "I HOPE WE CAN STILL BE FRIENDS" charade. You have friends

Trip to Montana

Over the Labor Day weekend I went to Ennis Montana (yes it is as small of a town as the name sounds) I had a really good time. I got to learn to fly fish and went to Yellowstone.

Enough said

Tina and Mikayle, Partying at the little bar

This is where my dad took me to fly fish, it was my first time fly fishing. it was a lot of fun and I like it better then regular fishing, it is a little more entertaining. My dad told me that I did a really good job and caught on very fast YAY ME!!!!

Getting ready to fish, yep dang right I am double fisting it. catch more fish that way

My dad tying a fly on for me in hopes that with this one I will catch a fish. It did work I sorta caught waht but it got away cause I didn't really know I had one : (.

My dad and me after a day of fishing

QUAKE LAKE

On the evening of August 17th, 1959, the area just west of Yellowstone National Park experienced an earthquake measuring 7.5 on the Richter scale. At the time it was the strongest earthquake recorded in the United States. It killed twenty-eight people; many were buried beneath the 80 million tons of dolomite that crashed down upon a sleeping Forest Service campground, others drowned when the Madison River, displaced by the slide, engulfed their tents. These deaths, the exodus of nearly eighteen thousand tourists from Yellowstone, an evacuation of downstream residents, and the astounding (and photogenic) property damage are probably known to most readers. Reports of tremors came from as far away as Seattle, Washington, Dickinson, North Dakota, Banff, Alberta, and Provo, Utah.

And it is now a lake, the trees in the water are what is left of the original camp sites.

OLD FAITHFUL

My lovely mom and me at Old Faithful, she was nice enough to take me all the way there.

It was very windy, this is just in front of the Geyser below, it was cool it ran off into the river it was really pretty the pictures just don't show it.

I wanted jump in it was so warm but my mom pointed at the hot pot was boiling so it might not be the best idea.

The sign says it all

I am not sure what town we were in but it was just outside of West Yellowstone. It was a really small town. but not as small as Ennis. All and all this was a pretty good day minus the fact that I didn't get a picture of the bear we saw. I was also cool cause in one day I was in 3 states Montana, Wyoming and Idaho all in a matter of a couple hours.

You can't really tell in this picture but the dam was leaking up the river and the river was getting really high. While my dad was fly fishing the ranger came and told them the had to get off the river case it was going to rise fast. If you look in the pictures or me fly fishing that little rocky patch was no longer there it was covered by water.

Ya the day we left it was snowing and it was sooooooooo COLD!!!!!

Ya FRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEZZZZZING 36 Degrees

The water in the Madison River was hotter then the air outside so it was steaming

THE END
