One Of My Fears

I have always always been afraid of big fat toads. They give me the hibby jibbies. I ask myself why I am afraid of them or don't like them. I'll give you two fat reasons. #1. They are big and they can hop when you get right by it. #2 I am very scared that the big fat toad will touch me with its slimy, bumpy skin---and I might get a wart or something! Tonight I saw the biggest fattest toad that I have ever seen in my life! I was at my friend's house, and I noticed IT there...ribbeting and hopping around. I had to be faster than lightening! As if I was in slow motion, with "Chariots of Fire," playing in the background, I ran to my car as fast as my little legs could run and quickly grabbed the door handle, and I tripped over the rock. I was trying to get up, then I noticed a wet slimy creature close to my leg-- I began to SCREAM! The toad began pulling on my leg---just as I am pulling yours now. Ha ha! That would be some story! Here's the truth--I ran as fast as I could and quickly shut the door behind me. Victory has never smelled so sweet. I just had to tell you I'm alright.

Meagan's Marvelous Music Melodies

I don't know if you know, but I am a HUGE fan of music. It is a part of my life. I should have my own background music. So at home, I like to TURN IT UP when I am cleaning, folding, making dinner, doing the dishes, or even eating fudge! I also LOVE listening to music in the car. Now my music history isn't so grand. I started to play the piano at a young age. I never got the left hand with the right hand, so I gave up. My dad had an old guitar in the attic, and I thought that would be my passion---just like the King. My dad bought me a "simple" Elvis music book for the guitar, but it didn't last long. So I tried singing. HA! I even joined the choir! I had people tell me (in choir and in other singing opportunities) that I am off key. I remember one scary day in college when I had to sing for the Choir teacher, and all that came out was a squeak and a squawk. It was awful. From then on, I am super at lip syncing--especially the high notes. So I have learned to love and appreciate music.

What songs do I jam to you ask? Well here's a few: Elvis Presley, (of course) NSYNC!, Beatles, Chicago, The Judds, Reba McEntire, Celine Dion, Helen Reddy, Bonnie Tyler's "total eclipse of the heart," and "i need a hero," and pretty much any 80's song. (My sisters tell me that I was born at the wrong time, because I am crazy about the 80's music. I just love it!) and new to the list--Michael Jackson. I'll just say that I love the "young Michael," before things got weird. He had some good songs like, "the man in the mirror," "i just can't stop loving you," "billie jean," "thriller," "the way you make me feel" and "black or white." He had some pretty cool tunes.

This is a big babbling blog about my love of all music. Sorry if I bored you. I am very grateful for music!

Chase and Meagan History 101

On August 16, 1977, thirty-two years ago, Elvis Presley left the building. Let's have a moment of silence for the King...and play, "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" Now on a happier note, like, "Burning Love," or better yet, "Can't Help Falling In Love," also three years ago today, Chase proposed to me! We went to Cold Stone, our favorite ice cream place, I ordered the usual mint chocolate chip, and Chase had the strawberry cheesecake. While we were chatting it up, Chase said, "Meagan...I don't want to date you any more...." I looked up at him while my heart sank to the bottom of my stomach........and then he said, "I want to marry you!" My breath was captured in my chest-- while Chase got down on his knee with a ring, I had tears in my eyes, so it looked bigger..(tee hee) I shouted out-"YES!" We hugged, and I might of given him a smooch, and then the ice cream workers sang, "L-O-V-E" song, that Chase had planned. What a wonderful day that was!!!! And we still love each other. Right hunny??? :)

Raisinets

Meagan's Status: Just finished a bag full of chocolate covered sunshine. That's right...raisinets. I want to confess my love for them on my blog. They bring me great happiness to my lips, and a they are with me for a life time on my hips! HA! I am just forever grateful for the chocolate covered raisins.

All for Fun, and Fun for All!

Hello My Dear Friends!!!!!! I am a girl that just wants to have fun, because girls just wanna have fun! And apparently boys do too. Chase went to Lake Powell, and had a marvelous time with the men. He sported a beard, lived in a swim suit for a week, skiied and wakeboarded. "It was awesome," says Chase. For me on the other hand-- I had a way way fun time in good ole hot hot hot YUMA! Jaime (my sister from NY) was in Yuma too! We ate fudge, drank Diet Dr. Peppers, (our favorite) went to the gym (after the fudge), shopped, and my dear ole dad (i like the word ole) took the Roddy's, Brittany Garner's family, and me to the river to ski! That was fun!

And now...its back to the nitty gritty...back to the grind. Chase had his first week of his 2nd year of Dental school. Yeah for Chase! Chase is thrilled to start his 2nd year. (Well, I hope he's thrilled.) As for me, I am still loving being a stay at home mom. Carter is almost 8 months old, and getting some teeth. I can't belive he is growing up so much! He is getting more hair, and more smiles!! Well--I guess that is what is happening in the Thompson's household.

I really hope you guys like my "music box." Some have significant meaning to me: (if you want to know) I LOVE MUSIC!

Somewhere Out There--I loved the movie, "An American Tale," when I was a toddler--and this song made me cry.

Funny How Time Slips Away- By Elvis Presley. Do I need to say more?? Plus, I think its a perfect funny song for a blog, "Why hello there, my it's been a long long time..."

After All-- This song is kinda our song. (I don't think he knows it...) I met him when I was 16, and we dated when I would come home from Illinois during the summers, and we wrote to each other when he went on his mission, and the rest is history. We are ment to be. I don't want to get mushy. I guess I can blog about it later. :)

Love Can Build A Bridge--This is probably one of my favorite songs ever. I remember my sisters listening to this song when I was younger, and I love it when Wynonna belts out near the end of the song. This is a good song to sing LOUD in the car with family...or alone. :)

I Was Too Busy Being In Love--Another good mushy love song by Doug Stone.

Heal the World--Okay, I have a confession. I am starting to like Michael Jackson. I am not going to have an "Michael Jackson dining room" or anything, but I would like to say I like his songs, and I think he was a good entertainer. And I love this song! I didn't hear it until he died. I got my sister Jaime to sing it with me...and some of my neices.

Let's Hear It For the Boy--I love the 80's! I love the "clap" noise. This song reminds me of my little boy! I love him so much! "let's hear it for the boy!"

When I'm 64--This is a classic Beatle song. I just hope Chase will love me when I am 64. Will he still need me, will he still feed me? I sure hope so!
