This can be a bit confusing.

Question: If you had to describe your personality in terms of a farm animal, which animal would you choose?

Is there a farm animal that likes to dance around while getting ready, likes to be alone most of the time but can be a BLAST in social situations as well. Doesn't mind getting dirty. Loves to eat but be active as well. Enjoys a good sunrise. Can be a bit stubborn.Loves the water. and last but not least is easy to please?

Sounds like I am a mix between a chicken, pig, horse, cow and donkey.

hot hot hot

Question: If you could at this very moment take a ride on anything in the world, what would you most want to ride?

A hot air balloon over Venice.

P.S. When I was little I went on a hot air balloon ride in Eagar. The balloon crashed! I remember thinking.. This is going to crash! Then the rocks got closer and closer. We were like a bouncy ball hitting the ground and bouncing up into the air a bit. It was scary.

THE PRICE IS WRONG B*T@H

QUESTION: What is the longest line you have ever stood in?

3 years ago I went with Natalie Allred and a group of her friends to THE PRICE IS RIGHT!! It was a few months before Bob retired. We were in line ALL DAY.!!!!

We got to california and rented an EXPENSIVE, crappy hotel for 3 hours. I tried to tell everyone that we should all just stay in the van but noone listened. I have stayed in some crappy hotels in my time but this one was by far the worst. There was mold growing on the ceiling in the closet! no joke. The sheets were damp and the floor was wraunch!! We crammed about 7 girls in there and I think we all paid about $40!! To sleep 3 hours!! NOT WORTH IT. We get in line outside of the studio at 2 am and the line already wraps around the block. I think we were around # 150 in line. People had been sleeping there all day and night. We brought 1 queen size mattress and all piled on. This was fun for about 10 seconds. We waiting till 6 am. The line started moving and we didn't really know what to expect. We get to the front of the line and they give us a ticket and tell us to come back in 2 hours. REALLY? So we go and sleep in the van. 1 girl even slept on the roof of the van!!! haha. We were parked in a parking garage so I bet we looked silly. At least it gave us more time to primp and look hott for Bob. 2 hours later we go back and get in line again only to get ANOTHER ticket and told to come back in another 2 hours. At this point I was done. I don't care if he is retiring, or dying, or getting his body frozen to be awakened in 100 years. I wanted sleep and food. This time we decided to hang out in a diner down the street and order some breakfast. Back in line for the 3 time and they put us in order, another line, and have us wait to be interviewed. This line and waiting took another 2 hours. By noon we were finally in our seats. The show took about 1 hour. It was a lot of jumping up and down and looking excited and such. We didn't even get on stage. lame. Or on TV. LAMER. After Bob did his show they told us that we were "lucky" because we got to go through the show again while they did an interview for a replacement host. So this meant we had to stay for another hour and pretend to be excited while some guy did an interview? Didn't they know we had been up all day and we were tired? They also let us know that it was just "practice" so this time we wouldn't be winning actual prized. ummmm... HELLO, we are all adults. We stopped playing pretend a LOOOONNNNG time ago. GIVE ME THE VACATION NOW. So by 2 we finally got to go home. The only good thing was that after the show I ate my first Chipotle burrito and fell in love with it. Don't worry, the relationship didn't last long. Apparently all that rice and tortilla are bad for me. The chipotle salad, no rice, no cheese, no sour cream is my rebound. Do you feel sorry for me? You should.

Maybe if I had grown up watching the price is right this would have been a lovely experience for me and the memory wouldn't be so tainted. However I did NOT grow up watching it and it wasn't a lovely experience. I wish that my grandparents could have gone in place of me because they are die hard fanatics. They would have passed out at all the excitement. So there you have it....

2nd place for longest line would be BLACK FRIDAY. Its a tradition in the family. No Sleep, just line standing ALL NIGHT.

I have no authority

QUESTION: What is one piece of advice that you wish you could pass along to everyone else?

Why would any one ask this of me? I have NO clue. Not everyone needs the same advice so to give general advice to EVERYONE? What a sweeping generalization. I guess health is important to everyone right? So my piece of advice would be.... (drum roll please)

Don't make excuses for why you CAN'T work out. JUST DO IT. Don't make excuses because we all know that you have time in your schedule. If you don't want to do it just say it. No need to make yourself sound good, who are we impressing here?

So thats that. Take it for what it is...

Figure 8's

QUESTION: If you had the ability to compete in any Olympic event, which one would you choose to enter?

Figure skating!! That is the only event I can remember watching growning up. I loved the music and the costumes and all the flowers!! It was always magical to watch.

QUESTION: What is the most incredible weather event you've ever been through in your life?

Nothing too crazy or out of the norm. In Eagar we would get some pretty good Thunder storms with intense winds that would blow full grown trees over. The washes out behind our house would be running with water and the thunder would be defening! Thunderstorms are one of my favorite things. They are scary and beautiful all at the same time. I love the unpredictablilty that they hold. You are sitting on the edge of your seat waiting for the next flash and then holding your breath till you hear how loud the thunder will be. I love everything about it.

As If I Would Know.

Question: If you could have been there to witness any specific moment in sports history, what moment would you choose?

Oh gee. I wouldn't even know which sport event is big enough to want to be there to witness. I would love to have watched Lou Gehrig play baseball. I know thats not a MAJOR event and all but its what I would want.

No thanks.

QUESTION: If you could open your own retail store, what type of merchandise would you sell?

Great question. I would NEVER want to own my own retail store. Through seeing what my dad does with his and working in a retail store in the mall I know that it is not something I want. I would rather live in a van down by the river and not own a toothbrush than own my own store. Okay so that probably isn't 100% true but you get the idea. Its annoying to find workers that you trust and you can't take a vacation whenever you want. You have to deal with stupid customers and holidays are where you want to be with your family but you have to be at your store because thats when people want to shop. Its just a nightmare. utterly, completely, a nightmare.

Bring on the blueberries

QUESTION: If you were a multimillionaire, Where would you be and what do you believe you would be doing at this very moment?

Well seeing as its 9:02 in the morning I wouldj ust be getting back from my morning workout and I would be preparing a grand breakfast that I would eat outside on the patio while reading a nice book and pondering on what the day would bring. That is my utopia.

Its all about the Benjamins.

QUESTION: If you could be the CEO of any corporation in the world, Which one would you choose?

hmmm.... My favorites would be

Disney
U.S. Airways
Amazon
LA Fitness

I think I would like the perks of any of these companies. Plus it would be a HEFTY raise. I would get a paycheck right? If this is volunteer work I am not the one for the job.

Pioneer children sang as they walked and walked and walked

QUESTION: What is the greatest distance you have ever driven in a single day?

Grandma and Grandpa Haws served a mission in Shreveport Louisiana. One year right before Christmas the whole family loaded up in our Suburban to go visit. On the way back Grandma and Grandpa haws came with us so I guess we visited at the end of their mission. Or they were allowed to come home for Christmas. Do they let older couples travel home? Anyway on the way home Grandpa is the get up and go type of guy and would barely let us stop to use the restroom. We traveled from Shreveport all the way back to Arizona in 1 day. It was a long, long drive

No Changes please

QUESTION: If rain could fall in any scent, what scent would you want it to be?

I Wouldn't want to change a thing! I think rain already has a fantastic scent! I especially love the desert rain. It brings out the smell of the creosote and just does wonders to my censes.

Jakeb has great luck.

QUESTION: What is the most money you have ever found lying on the ground in a public place?

Well lets see...I don't remember myself specifically ever finding money other than 10 cents chilling on the hot pavement. I do remember that while coming back from the 4th of July Jakeb found 20 bucks on the ground outside of Taco Bell. He was kind enough to buy Elicia, her girls, and myself dinner with the money! He is a keeper.
