First Presidency Song. It's a catchy little diddy

For those of you interested in learning more about the First Presidency:

If you have not planned FHE yet, this should take care of it for you!!

Selfish Thankful Lists

I had a special FHE last night and assigned the kids to come up with a list of things they were thankful for. I told them that I know they are all good kids and that they would obviously put things like, Heavenly Father, the Plan of Salvation, the Scriptures, etc, etc, on their list. I told them to skip those and make a selfish list. A list that spoke about their personality.

Adrian and I were also supposed to do this. We didn't get our list done. Adrian picked up his place card and pretended to read off of it. I got so tickled that I could not stop laughing.

C.O.U.L.D. N.O.T. S.T.O.P.!!!!!!

It was pitiful. Then the kids started to ask him why this or that wasn't on his list and he would say stuff like," well that is number 6, do you want me to skip ahead? " This got me so tickled that my cheeks actually started to hurt. Laughing injuries!

So I made the kids give me their lists so I could print them. Molly lost hers while sitting at the table.

Yeah, don't ask....

maybe I will find Molly's later.

oh, the weather outside is mild :o(

It is 60 degrees out today! I have the windows open.

I am ready to look out the window and see this. We have had so many winters without snow. I miss living in the great white north!

In case you are curious we have cooked, eaten and cleaned up Thanksgiving.

Oh, and we are NOT putting up our Christmas tree any time soon!!!

A visit with my secret boyfriend Jim

Last night Adrian was watching the Office on Netflix. He carries the laptop into our room and watches as we go to bed. Usually he has earphones in because I like to read and can't when the TV is on. Last night he was watching and I was tired and so I turned off the light and kind of started to watch with him.

It was 10:00 PM.


We watched episode after episode. Until 2:00 AM!!!!!!!


I feel like crap.

But the turkey is stuffed and in the oven.

I think I am going to go lay down.....

An apology to Anonymous

I am re posting a post that i wrote on May 1, 2008. I just received a comment on it today. Here is the comment:


Anonymous said:
could you PLEASE STOP making fun of church of Christ churches!It`s not nice AT ALLLLL.Very mean and childish!

Umm, okay. I was not making fun of Church of Christ churches. I was making fun of Molly. My daughter Molly. She made a mistake. and we laughed about it. I do not think that my kids church of Christ school is really going to ban candy.

The public schools have done that already!

See, I can't stop making jokes. I re post it so you all can help anonymous see that I was laughing at Molly. I pointed out the no dancing rule, but not in a mean way at all. It is just a rule, no big deal.....
So anonymous, I apologize if I offended you. It was NOT my intention at all!!!!

Death by Chocolate?
So yesterday I picked up the kids from school. I also had Bryce with me cause Wednesdays are when Bacon at 3 have there practice sessions before church. Adrian had told me earlier in the day that some of William's friends from school had gotten into some trouble when they were on the limo ride to the formal junior/senior dinner.

( A little back round info...William goes to a Church of Christ school so, no dancing allowed. Just last year they started having a formal dinner for the Juniors and Seniors. Like a prom, without the prom part!)

Anyway, some kids got into a wee bit of trouble. I was talking (okay, giving him the 3rd degree!) about the exact specifics of what had happened. I kept using the word liquor.

After about 10 minutes of discussion Molly says:Hold on. I do not understand this conversation. Why did he get in trouble for having LICORICE in the limo?

Yeah, watch out for those Church of Christ schools. They are banning Twizzlers. We have to stop the insanity before it spreads to Reece's and Snickers!

yummy comfort sandwiches for a cold day

okay, so we had to have lunch before we went down to the dungeon.

basement!


I like to read, and one of my fave authors is Joanne Fluke. She writes mysteries and her main character is a lady named Hannah Swensen.

Hannah lives in Minnesota and owns a cookie shop. She finds dead bodies and bakes cookies. She rocks! Anyway there are recipes mixed in the books. it is so much fun. today i made her grilled cheese sandwiches. it really isn't a recipe, but you just replace the American cheese you normally would use and use cold cream cheese. I cut it into thinnish slices and just made them like normal with butter and white bread.

Yummy.

leave it to me to find a way to make grilled cheese sandwiches even less healthy!

now i really am going to spend the afternoon in the basement! ....except i need to go and buy a turkey for Thursday....

oh look, a pretty butterfly.....


is that Elvis down by my barn?.....


have I read my scriptures yet today?....

OKAY! I AM GOING!!

spider egg sacs in my hair

below our house lies the basement. most of you probably can say the same thing. i have never cleaned the basement. we have lived here 11 years.

it is vile

it is disgusting

it has dead mice and cobwebs

there are 2 bazillion spider egg sacs. really.

my washer and dryer are down there and so is one of my daughters room. Her room has been cleaned and painted. About 2 years ago. She sort of cleans it, but she is way too easy going.

We have decided to redo the basement and move her room and make a giant family room. a massive TV, pool table, lots of couches, teenagers having parties room. I want this soooo bad. ROCK BAND would be downstairs.

Let me repeat that... ROCK BAND would be downstairs. I know, it is like a dream.

But now I have to clean the basement. And throw away the crap. and paint the cement floor and cinder block walls. Adrian would do it, but he works. I love that he works. I just wish that a fairy godmother would come and **POOF**

so instead of being in the basement chucking moldy books into the back of the truck i am cleaning the kitchen. folding laundry. wiping the bathroom sink out. online Christmas shopping. all these things need done, right???

are those crickets chirping?!?!

TAP TAP TAP

IS THIS THING ON?

HELLOOOOOOOO OUT THERE?

Is everyone on a commenting hiatus? I can see you are still coming by. I use my super powers and watch you all at your computers.

really.

but you forget to comment.

you are all killing me. what? you think you are busy or something?

sheesh....

This amazing thing called the Internet

There are so many amazing things on the Internet. One of those is my book review blog, BOOK JUNKIE.



Okay, they what as a self serving plug, I know. But I was investigating a comment that was left on Book Junkie by Jeannette. I got excited because I discovered that her blog is A Comfy Chair and a Good Book. I have her blog listed on my sidebar, it is great. She is so much better at reviewing books than I am, but I am trying to improve! Anyway, upon further investigation I realized she is a contributor to a fabulous blog called Family Home Evening Planner.

You have got to check it out. It is so cute and filled with great ideas for FHE.

I heart the internet. And I heart you my beautiful readers.

Oh, and you too handsome guy reader, have you been working out?
