Yeppers! Short title! BUT i am OFFICIALLY 21 YEARS OF AGE!! WOOOOT! Let me just state again that i'm 21!!!! So i decided that SINCE i am 21 (i love putting that), that i will write 21 things about myself that you may or may NOT know!
1. Today is my birthday! I be 21! ha! Sorry. It's pretty much the ONLY thing on my mind right now.
2. My favorite colors are Blue, Brown, Green, and Dark Purple. Not the pansy purple, though i'm not against it. It's just not "pretty" to me!
3. I have the BEST family! Sometimes we don't get along, because we all have to be right. I like to call my family "power houses" because that is what everyone is. However when we get along. . . Nough said! ha!
4. I LOVE to dance, sing, play, read, play the piano, HAVE fun, whatever!
5. My new hobby is running! Yes, running and getting in shape!
6. If you take me to a restaurant and there is a TV on, that i can see, i will most likely watch it and tune you out. Not on purpose, mind you. Just because it's there, in my eye sight, and i'm an easily distracted girl (well woman)!!
7. I like the outdoors. I like camping and getting dirty. I like sleeping in a tent and eating over an open fire. I like water along with the outdoors, swimming fast, slow, it's all good to me. I like canoe-ing and trying to tip it over. haha!
8. I am an eat-er! I like food! That'll probably kill me later in life, but at least i will be happy. My favorite food is Seafood, then Mexican.
9. I LOVE music. Listening to it, creating little somewhat's in my head, singing it, playing it on the piano. GIVE IT TO ME!
10. Little noises bother me. They ring in my ears over and over and OVER. It's like that person nagging constantly at you and you can't seem to get away from it. It's crazy but true.
11. I like to read. Reading is also a new hobby of mine. I've never been the best because i have to read WORD for WORD. If i skip a word, this results in me having to go back and read the whole word, sentence or paragraph, ALL over again. That could be why i didn't like to read. BUT NOW i love it!
12. Crying people make me uncomfortable. Like in testimony meeting (one church meeting where members of the congregation can get up and express their. . . testimony. Sorry couldn't come up with a better word). Cry-ers bother me, which makes me tune you out. I am a little better when it comes to friends and crying and sharing their "emotions". BUT it still makes me uncomfortable and i can't listen to everything. I'm there when you're sad, but don't be TOO sad! ha
13. I like to go to church. Didn't use to because it was just something i was "suppose" to do. Now i go just to GO!
14. My favorite animals are the elephant and penguins. Then my favorite house pet would have to be the. . . . . (did you guess yet?) DOG!?!
15. I like to travel. I don't have money for it right now, but i plan on doing a LOT of it even after i'm married. Traveling is like a big adventure. Something i can't go without.
16. I have many best friends. Why need one? Anyways, my always will be best friend (because she can't escape it) is my sister, Verity. Seeee i told you she can't escape it!
17. I like math. Math is simple. You always have one correct answer. Ask different English teachers the same question and you get a couple of "right" answers. You aren't sure which to go with. No ask any math teacher the same question and you get the same answer. Easy! I'm a nerd. ha
18. Speaking of math and english brings me to school. I love going to school. I always have. Maybe it's getting away for a couple of hours from home, seeing some friends, or learning the new material. I actually choose ALL three! But i really DO like school!
19. My all time favorite band is Rascal Flatts. Country music for a country girl. I love every song ever written and sung by them. I would marry that band!
20. I like jeans. So you're probably thinking that this is really weird. . . and you're right. BUT i LOVE jeans. I have like 12 pairs alone and when i has me some MULA i will buy some more! I'm a jeans fanatic. Some girls like shoes, purses, jewels, etc. I'm a jeans kind of girl!
21. I.AM.21! (Had to put that again!)
Well send me some birthday wishes dangit!!
Peace!

Amazed!
Yes! You read it and i am AMAZED! At my sister's blog! She had SERIOUS surgery. . . SHOULD be laying down UPSTAIRS getting some rest. . . SHOULD be NOT getting on the computer. . . SHOULD not be doing QUITE a few things! But then there she is! That little Devil woman i love isn't following rules! AND she keeps her blog updated! Unlike me!
GUESS WHAT???!!! My B-I-G 21 birthday is coming up! It's on Saturday!! WOOT!!I actually can't remember what i was going to write about. . . SOOO I'm going to write on a couple of different things! Such as Hollister Co. Heard of it? It's a clothing store! Well my friend, Spencer, works there. I've been looking for a new job, so Spencer tells me to come apply at Hollister (yes I'm THAT desperate that i am going to apply in retail! and the WORST store to apply for!). I apply. End of story.
Running!! I am probably the worst person to run. I say that I'm going to go, and do, then after like a week i stop. Then run and stop. It's an on-going battle!Thankfully one of my best friends, Karie, needs to run too! So we both are starting this "let's not be pathetic and actually GO running and not stop thing" thing. Yeah! I think that it is going to work out. it has so far! See. . . We're pretty amazing! I know. . . and let it be known that these are BEFORE pictures! You can't expect the best results after a week of running!
So that is me! We tried taking "running pictures"! Found out we aren't the best! ha! We were tired after our run! BUT check out the bottom picture! WHAT.A.BRUISE!? I know! I'm proud!
That would be Karie looking OH SO GOOD pretending to run for the picture! haha! Look at those Calf muscles! Go Karie!
The bottom i snapped it and said i wouldn't put it up. . . BUT i lied! ha! It's funny!!!
OK! So that BRUISE, not birth-mark mind you, is from falling! Not just any old fall. . . But crashing! Yes! such a funny story! So i will tell you! My MOST HANDSOME brother, Morgan, decided that he needed someone to go ATV riding with him! So the phone got passed to me and i, the lucky one, got to go! We're driving and he's on his dirt bike and needs to keep his speed WAY up so that his bike doesn't sink. He would stop and wait for me when he got too far ahead. Well here i come and i think that I'm going SUPER fast. I wasn't going THAT fast, just too fast to turn. So here comes this turn and me, oh so smart, think that it is a smooth turn and that i will make it easy. WELL that turn is NOT smooth and "easy". Devil! It ends up being the BUMPIEST (well one of them) and sharpest turns! ha! So i didn't slow down (i didn't know i had to). So at the fastest (which was only like 25 mph) i head towards the turn. My quad crashes into a cactus (little baby-ish thing) and i fly into the tree just to the right. I break the tree IN HALF, bend one of the handle bars. Well Morgan hadn't noticed that i wasn't behind him yet. So i get out of the tree (one of those STUPID thorn trees. ALL covered. No point WHATSOEVER to have the BLASTED tree on earth) wiggling and squirming. Finally i get out. At this point i had forgotten that i was wearing my CTR ring on my right hand, until my finger started to hurt pretty bad (still not Morgan! YEAH!). So i take off my riding gloves (helmet still on). I notice that instead of my ring being round it is SQUISHED onto my finger! Try using my front teeth to get it to bend back so i can get it off. That didn't work so i used my back teeth and got the ring off. I put it into my pocket take off my helmet and my leg hurts, but I'm wearing pants so i can't see anything or know if it's hurt. Morgan notices I'm not behind and turns back and finds me standing and the ATV in the tree/cactus! ha! The FABULOUS brother that he is starts rapidly asking me if i am alright. I reassure him and he gets the ATV out. Then says i was going to fast and asks again if I'm OK! ha! I love that brotherly man of mine! Well he fixes it and says not to go that fast. Just when we're about to head out i realize my long sleeve thermal shirt has red-ish-brown stains that had not been there before. So i lift up my sleeve and There it is! The whole that makes me look like a drug addict who doesn't know how to stick a needle in my arm. It's still there mind you! Still a whole! ANNNND i have a SWEET bruise from the ride! I wish i would've brought my camera! But i left it in the CAR! bah! Anyways! That's my pretty funny and AWESOME-ly amazing story on how a got my bruise! That's only one though! I have LOTS all over and my finger is still jammed! BLEH!
After that my brother wisely says, "Any idiot can go fast. But you have to know when to slow down."
I got better after that! ha
Be smart!
PEACE!!!

Pictures from Virginia Trip!!!
I TOLD you all they were coming! So impatient! jk!
I first want to say this. . . I have NO clue how to do this. If it doesn't work, i'll find out another time. But for now let's see. Now note that my pictures on my blog won't be as fancy as Mombabe's pictures. AKA i won't have cute little sayings on them. Because i just don't know how to do that! YET. . .
GRRRR. . . It didn't do it the way i wanted! I'll have to ask and figure it out!
On the top left is my niece Blayne! isn't she a doll. and Taylor is in the pink jacket, with Tad hiding in the back. This is by one of the many trees in the Dc Visitor's Center
Next is Mombabe, my lovely sister, her hubbie Troy and little Taylor cakes. No one else would get in the picture when we said to! I think Taylor is only there because she is being held???? *Outside the DC Visitor's center
NEXT! ME! I liked that Christmas tree the best! OH! by the way, most of these are taken at the Washington DC temple.
Bottom right is Mombabe, Taylor (getting smushed-ded), and Me
Bottom Left is the three oldest little Bingham babies. Blayne, Tad, Danny Mac!
I have lots more pictures! BUUUUUT if anyone has any idea on how to put these things up PLEASE inform me! I'd like to make this cute. And is there a picture limit???? HELP!!
ps. more pictures coming of Yuma with the Crazy Claridge Clan, Washington DC and Virginia in general

Oh Mother!
So! My mom BASICALLY (i hate that word! BUT i use it! hahaha) bawled me out about not updating my blog! Which I've sworn to do! MAN that woman i love caught me! Dang it!
Ok! So i thought that since some of you (whoever you are) might think the same thing, that i will post something new today.
I am safe and back home in AZ. On the plane ride i had LOTS of time to think. And by LOTS of time i man 4 hours to where not even music and the book that i'd read could hold my time. That's what brought me to thinking, plus i can't sleep on planes- GRRR to all you little devils that can easily sleep anywhere. Ok, ok. Getting back on track. Thinking! So here are some things that i was thinking. Take what you may but i'm a pretty good think-er. Yeah! I said it. . . WHAT?! Eh-hem!
From the HEAD of MYSELF i give you my THOUGHTS:
1. Rascal Flatts is probably my favorite band in the ENTIRE WORLD! Yes! Country is a simple thing. But these guys are AMAZING! And wonderful. I would marry them all for their voices. Hmmm. . . i want to go see them live. Wow! For as long as i have loved them i've never seen them live. How pathetic am i? OH! I should just date someone and tell him that i want to go to a concert. . . GREAT idea! NO! But then i'd have to act interested (easily done, but not so easy when i have something i LOVE to listen to!!!). Drop that. I KNOW! I'll just buy some tickets. Get a job, buy some tickets, and have my friends come with me. PERFECT!
2. JOB! Dang i need one of those. Something most people find easily, i can't. Suck. ok. . . Get a job. Not so hard. Where do i want to work?
3. Hmmm. . . maybe i should have stayed in VA! Job opportunities calling my name and cutie boys out there that don't know me! WoOt!
4. Boys are dumb. Why do i love your faces? I don't need a boy to do the things that i want to do.
5. Things i want to do?! Well i've never thought about that. Actually it's on my mind, you silly things. So black and white lets see what we have. I want to travel. I want to go everywhere in the world. Sight see. I could go by myself and have time to think get things sorted. I could finish school. Not just finish but exceed in school. My time would be focused on school and nothing more. I could go to a fancy college where education isn't laughed at. Not even go to school for the athletics or for friends but for me! PERFECT! WORK ON SCHOOL!
6. Temple. I love the temple. Which little LDS girl doesn't think of it, or have it in the back of your head? But i have to get married. Hmmm. . . not a bad idea. Then i have to find a boy. ThEn i have to be most wonderful enough to have him want to propose to me. And that's NOT hard to do (yeah right!). Wait! GIRLS can go through by themselves. I'm sick of waiting around for someone to come and marry me. I've been waiting and i'm DONE! Do you know how boring and hard and tear-y it can get waiting and thinking "I'm never going to get married!"? Yeah! It gets old fast. I'm already temple worthy, and nothing is going to change that. So why not?! I can get a temple recommend and go through. Then i can go with my dad and mom and family! PERFECT! But how do i acquire something like this! I KNOW, i'll talk to my bishop. What if he thinks that i want to goon a mission? Don't get me wrong i give kudos to all you missionaries and sisters missionaries. I just don't want to be one. Not that i don't want to share the gospel, that's something i think about quite often actually. I just don't want to have to put a label on something (now these are just my thoughts). I really want to go!
Man! I am crazy! But seriously that is NOT all i thought about. The temple is mainly what i thought about most of the time though. And can you believe i actually CRIED about it! I'm certainly NOT a cry-er but when i thought about this i seriously teared like no other!
Well thanks for all those that read my blog and think it's BORING (Cough*Verity)! My life isn't entertainment! Just kidding! It really is much funnier than claimed on my blog! You just haven't experienced it! Well Peace!

Random Thoughts
Well Hello! I notice that after this first two blogs i kind of neglected this thing! SOOOO. . . Here i am typing along!
I AM STILL IN VIRGINIA! I like it here! The weather is nice and cold. The people here run. . . Actually let me explain that one. See in Arizona people do run, you don't see them that often though. BUT here, you see the joggers all day! NO JOKE! And they're totally serious runners too. Spandex (not the short ones but the LONG ones), gloves, mittens/gloves, coats, beanies, etc. If you were to wear that in AZ you'd DIE of heat stroke, or something. But here, being that it is so cold you need excess layers! I bet they have long underwear (two pairs, too).
I think that i will inform some of you (even though so very little of you read my blog) that my sister is doing pretty well after her surgery. Well as far as having four little children having to be told constantly to "Not touch mommy!" ha!
Today, to get the little monsters to "calm down" a bit, i took them to a park. OH MAN ALIVE! It is so funny! I NEED to get some pictures on here. So funny. Anyways so we're playing at this park and this lady (we'll call her lady #1) passes by me with her grand-daughter (or something, but DEF NOT her mom). I comment her little grand-daughter/whatever-this-little-girl-is-to-her/NOT-DAUGHTER. Cutie-pah-tootie pie, Danny, says "I'm Daniel!" (so proud that i could understand him and lady #1 could too). ANYWAYS, you're probably thinking "why the heck is this so funny?! Meredith this is a lame story!" WELL. HOLD.YOUR.HORSES. After Danny clearly introduces himself he turns back around to play in the sand. Low and BEHOLD, that when he bends over to play, HE HAS THE BIGGEST PLUMBERS CRACK!!! Most of you know that i get my entertainment from ANY sort of funny. So i call him over to pull up his pants and that fixed it. All the while, lady #1 standing there looking just as polite as ever. MmmmmHmm. Ok! NOW on to LADY #2! Booh-ba-doooo (sing that). Lady #2 has lost her "BRah-Ther" (ok say brother. . . did you say it? ok now add the STRONG Brooklyn accent and Ba-da-bing! I just introduced you to the new form of brother!). She comes by me, sees her "BRah-Ther", then i hear this
Lady #2 (let us change this to Brooklyn) "Ahre YOooooU THEY-rrrre Nannn-EE?"
Me "NO! I'm there aunt."
Brooklyn "Oh! Being the aunt is way better."
Me . . . . *silence*
Brooklyn "YOooooU Mahst beh Cuz yo jAHcket is So clean and SO is yo face"
Me thinking HOW THE HECK CAN A FACE BE CLEAN!
Just after this she takes her two boys "what's his name" and "BRah-Ther" to this little bridge-y-bendy thing and they proceed to throw rocks onto it. The only reason i REALLY paid attention to this detail was because just prior to that little Blayne E. had just cleared all the rocks off this bridge-y-bendy thing so that "Everyone can be careful and not get hurt!".
End of conversation! Let me just add though that it's not that I'm clean or have a clean face, or can speak proper English (most times, it's hard when I'm around those little children, HELLO baby language!). It's just that, even on my "WOAH HELLO! Who is this person and why are you on the earth because you look terrible" days, i still look, or try to, somewhat decent. Or i don't go out. ANNND for all those that know me again, i will gladly admit that I'm a clean freak with my clothes. Ask my sisters. ha!
ok! So now that THAT is over, moving on. So remember how i said that i will post some pictures. . . ? YEAH! About that, i will, and i intend to. BUT when my laptop won't connect to any internet (stingy people block theirs so i can't steal!) i can't put them on here! Sad day. I know. Tell me about it. They will be coming. Just like i promised.
I don't really know what i posted on here today. I'm kind of out of it. Sooooorry if it doesn't make sense. Try to make do with what you can though, right? Peace!
I AM STILL IN VIRGINIA! I like it here! The weather is nice and cold. The people here run. . . Actually let me explain that one. See in Arizona people do run, you don't see them that often though. BUT here, you see the joggers all day! NO JOKE! And they're totally serious runners too. Spandex (not the short ones but the LONG ones), gloves, mittens/gloves, coats, beanies, etc. If you were to wear that in AZ you'd DIE of heat stroke, or something. But here, being that it is so cold you need excess layers! I bet they have long underwear (two pairs, too).
I think that i will inform some of you (even though so very little of you read my blog) that my sister is doing pretty well after her surgery. Well as far as having four little children having to be told constantly to "Not touch mommy!" ha!
Today, to get the little monsters to "calm down" a bit, i took them to a park. OH MAN ALIVE! It is so funny! I NEED to get some pictures on here. So funny. Anyways so we're playing at this park and this lady (we'll call her lady #1) passes by me with her grand-daughter (or something, but DEF NOT her mom). I comment her little grand-daughter/whatever-this-little-girl-is-to-her/NOT-DAUGHTER. Cutie-pah-tootie pie, Danny, says "I'm Daniel!" (so proud that i could understand him and lady #1 could too).

Washington Dinner Count (DC)
Today The Binghams and i went to go to DC again today. I got to see the Lincoln Memorial, the Arlington graveyard, the Jefferson Memorial, and the Kennedy center. What else did i get to see? Too little a stroller for too many a babies! I will have to post a video that i made. . . it is QUITE hilarious. WAIT.AND.SEE! Why so funny? Let me just give you a background OKKKKKKKKK!! So everyone knows about the two seat stroller with one seat behind the other and the back seat lays back fully for possibly sleeping babies? GOOD! You know what I'm talking about! ok! So imagine a 5, 4, 2, and 1 year old baby. ha! See it's already getting funnier. ok! So Tad (5) is in the front seat, Daniel (2) is in the back seat along with Taylor (1, the little booty bumper) behind him. Try to picture with me just for a moment. Taylor not wanting to share so she sticks her little booty as far out as she can, in the process of hitting Daniel. Well, Daniel wasn't taking that without a stand, so he retaliates. By pushing his head at her (like hitting, but you could say more. . . "kind") ha! Well Taylor repeats this process over and OVER! Then gives up and takes to hitting (really lightly because her jacket is too big that her hands don't show) But anyways, the jest of this story is funny. DON'T TELL ME IT'S NOT! It is! And your too stubborn to realize anything to the sort of so much funny that you don't realize it.
LATER.
At Dinner with the Binghams little Daniel is not eating he noodles. So my sister Caroline(Mombabe) says. . .
"There is a PARTY in you tummy and this green bean wants to come in!"
Ha ha! I have NEVER heard anything like that to get your children to eat! But i was CRACKING up! Inside and out! So i decided i would post it. . . THEN it got even MORE funny (how so?). She continues to talk about the party and my niece Blayne say "There's a party in my tummy. Yummmy Yummmy!"
Caroline singing "There's a party in my Tummy! Yummy, Yummy! Yummy, Yummy!" (Repeat one more time) ha!
I love that woman! She's amazing truly! ha ha. . .
Th. Th. That's all folks! Peace out!

NO MCDONALDS!
OK! So since I've been here in Virginia with my sister i have been remembering some old funny stories! SOOOOO. . . the kind person that i am decided to share some funny with you! 3. . .2. . .1. . .GO TIME!
So the when my sister Caroline, and her hubby Troy and family were driving out to Virginia I had the pleasure of driving with them! NO! I love them! So it was fun! Well one of the days Troy get tired and Caroline takes over driving the moving truck and i driving her Yukon (i think that's what it is. Smaller sub)! Well as we're driving Caroline had one of her little rascals in the truck and they were getting hungry, so she decided to walkie-talkie us and say, "Hey there is a McDonalds at the next stop are you guys hungry?" *Notice we were going to stop at the "M" place anyways. I wanted to have a little fun and my handsome nephew Tad says "OH PLEAZE can we stop at MCDONALDS?!" This is how the conversation went from here
Me "NO! WE're NOT going to stop because i HATE McDonalds!"
Tad "PUH-LEAZEEEEE! I Want Mcdonalds!"
Me "You don't know what you want! McDonalds is GROSS! I HATE IT!"
Tad" Puh-LEEEEAAAZZZZZZE! PLEAZE CAN WE STOP AT MCDONALDS!"
(Meanwhile Troy in the car trying to rest! Sorry Troy! ha!)
Me "NOOOOOOOOO!!! I HAAAAAAAAAATE MCDONALDS AND WE ARE NOT STOPPING!" (By this time we've gotten off the exit and are turning to go to McDonalds, also laughing hysterically)
Tad "PUUUUUUUUUh-LEEEEEE-heh-EEEEAAAAZE! CAN WE STOOOOOOOP AT MCDONALDS! Uhhhhhhhhh-HUUUUUUUUUUUH-HUH! I LOOOOOOVE IT!"
*Now turning into Mcdonalds
Me "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Tad "Uhhh-Huh-HUH!!!!! But i just LOVE it! Tad LOVES MCDONALDS!) (continues to grunt and scream with me saying no! I know i'm kind of mean but we were IN THE PARKING LOT!)
Me "Just kidding Tad-dles! WE'RE HERE!!!"
Tad "YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE McDonalds! Thanks (starts basically a triumph chant for "winning")!"
ha! OK! So you may think i'm mean, but i'm not, just funny! And he was happy! ha! If you heard my nephew you would've been laughing JUSt like i was! Poor Troy, too! This was the SHORT version of the story. It would've been too long to actually have you read the WHOLE thing, which i know you would've done. AND afterwards I told Caroline and she laughed just as hard as i was. Just to proove that i'm not mean i'm like their FAVORITE. Seriously. Ask my siblings and especially their mom and dad. ha! It's true!
BUUUUUUUT that was one time. I just thought i'd let you in on a little fun. Movies are now calling my name, unlike you. So peace out.

UNDER PRESSSURE
My older sister is looking over my shoulder while i am writing this! BAH! Happy New Year by the way! Since I'm not really sure how these blogs go i think that i will have to start at. . . TELLING YOU ABOUT MY DAY! Actually the past TWO days, to be more specific! So Dec 31st. THERE I WAS! New Year's Eve! Getting ready to go out and have a kind of lame (at first) time. You could say it gradually (SLOWLY as all heck) increased in fun!
Anyways. . . i changed my mind and I'm not going to be talking about that! Instead i will be talking about how i am down in VIRGINIA with my sister. You may know her as Mombabe from her blog (oh that woman sisterly of mine that i love so dearly)! ha! So i leave after a long night (yes it was long because sometimes i wanted it to end. And you KNOW how things seem longer when you want it to end. DO.NOT.LIE!) and arrive to see my sisters family waiting for me! Woot! I love those little chillins! They are SO.DANG.CUTE! ha! It is also very freezing here. I mean that litteraly. I know, i'm am wimp!
This is probably going to be one of the shortest things that i ever write. 1. I am a writer. BORN to WRITE/blog! 2. I also happen to be very tired! So peace out! Love ya bye!
