I have a subscription to the newspaper for one reason only not for the sports, local, or national news but for the obituaries. Why? I ask myself am I so obsessed with them. Maybe it's because I'm looking for the perfect obituary. But is their really one perfect obituary? Each obituary are distinct in their own right but are so similar in so many ways. For once I would like to read about a person not liking something or someone. I feel that obituaries wraps up someones life in a few short paragraphs and that it should be something memorable.
Which brings me to thinking about what I want my own obituary to say. For instance, I love to waterski but on several conditions first,I have to be skiing early in the morning in Lake Powell second, the water has to be smooth as glass or it's not worth my time and lastly, Aaron, my dad, brother, and Uncle need to be in the boat in order for me to say that it doesn't get better than this.
I also enjoy 4 wheeling but only in the Uintah's on a non-holiday weekend (the dust is unbearable when there are tons of people) sitting at my favorite lakes (lily and lym) eating snacks with Aaron and my girls.
There is also nothing better than a ice cold Dr. Pepper, a Bon Jovi song while driving alone in car, the original Star Wars, a hug from my girls, a good piece of prime rib from the Timbermine. I could go on and on with this one but also think it would be fun to list things I didn't like like repetitive noises, I can't stand tapping, I hate Cherry 7-up and it always ends up at my parents house as a beverage of choice. I don't like to clean especially my stove top too much elbow grease for me.
Anyway, call me crazy that I am so obsessed with the obituaries I thought it would be fun to see if anyone else has had the same or similar thoughts so if so let me know.

I don't think your weird. I'm always checking out the obituaries too. Especially now that I'm getting older I actually knew the people in some kind of an acquaintance. I agree that someone should write about what they didn't like. That would be so much more real. Mine would say that I don't like exercising, peppers/onions and swimming in lakes. Ok, I had to narrow it down to just three things.
I couldn't agree more! For once I'd like to read about how stubborn someone was, or how she had no patience for people who breath through their mouths! I'm planning on writing my own, but not in first person- that's annoying! I love it Amy!
Ok. I think it is weird, but kinda cool, too. I am laughing right now. I think it is funny. It is nice to get to know you even better. Man, I thought I knew you after living with you. I guess you never know. Ha ha. JK
