Weird Obsessions: Mt Rushmore

I think we all know I have some weird/strange obsessions. In people form.

Bob Barker. Joe Biden. Tom Arnold.

I've had phases of loving Richard Dawson and Sitting Bull, among others.

It's what made me who I am. A strange, strange young girl.

I also had a historical love crush on Theodore Roosevelt at one point in my life. I named a car after him. Which is one of the reasons I have always wanted to go to Mt. Rushmore. His face? 60 feet tall? On a mountain? Oh sure!

Again, kids, if you can dream it, you can do it.

Enter my trip to Mt. Rushmore:

What made it even mo' betta was the fact that Sturgis Bike Rally is going on this very week, meaning lots of bikers/tattoos/bandanas/beards/shirtless old guys/happiness.

(it also kind of made it more difficult, because finding a campsite was harder than i had imagined, but it was worth it. i woke up to lots of colorful language and biker bedhead. aww yeah)

(even the dogs got into the spirit of the bike rally)

We also hit up the Jewel Caves on our short road trip to South Dakota. We had a real entertaining Park Ranger tour guide and some very enthusiastic biker-esque couples from SLC in our tour group, making it a definite highlight of the trip/my life.

Thanks, South Dakota, for the warm welcome. And no thanks, Wyoming, for your existence.

Another confession

(this isn't about the same subject matter as before) A lot of the time when I meet people I feel like I know them from somewhere. A good percentage of the time I realize the only way I know them is that they resemble one of the characters on the classic board game Guess Who? Does this happen to anyone else?!?!

Recent Obsession Flair-ups

You know how there are some things that you love so much and you experience these things a ton but then after awhile they just seem to fade out? But then some time passes and you almost rediscover these things with new eyes and obsess over them again almost worse than the first time? This has recently happened to me with a few things. They include: Elton John Tater Tots Seinfeld Showering Grape Juice Thats it. PS: (Did you know?!) Thanks to Dare-bear-stare for helping me learn that my own Denver International Airport is the largest airport in the U.S. at 53 square miles! Props to Denver yet again!

Take Home Chef Wannabe

So once upon a time my friend Jeff and I made up our own little tradition. We called it "Friday Picture" and each Friday we would walk around campus and take a picture with the most awkward/awesome/unique looking individual we could find. It was something I looked forward to every week, and we would constantly surprise ourselves with the kind of people we'd see walking around BYU. A lot of weridos there. One day we decided to meander through the library to see if there was anyone extra special for our Friday Picture. Boyyy, did we find that special person! World, meet Take Home Chef Lookalike. I saw him and I couldn't believe the similarities. The striking features. The blond, pointy hair. We even found some silverware to make the photo more true to life. ( The real Curtis Stone ) Try to tell me they don't look alike. Just try. I think the best part of the story is that Jeff's girlfriend at the time (now wife) had dated Take Home Chef-a-like. And we di...
