Replenishing

My little bit of wisdom for you today:

Every once in a while, you need to buy something new. New doesn't have to mean expensive. Even buying at DI brings home a purchase new to you. Having that new thing in your life stirs things up. It's different, and it gives you something exciting to look forward to.

I just bought a purse at DI for 2 dollars. It's not fashionable, but it's new to me and just what I wanted, and it's given me an excuse to dress up a little more and go out in public. I get excited when I have to leave the house because I get to grab up that new purse for the road. It's just fun, and just what I needed to rejuvinate myself.

Happy Almost Memorial Day! I get to see my brother AND my grandparents this weekend, so I'm really looking forwad to it. I also get Monday off and we're crossing our fingers it's sunny enough to have a very nice, enjoyable and relaxing Memorial Day celebration.

Remember how we used to go up Big (or was it little?) Cottonwood Canyon every Memorial Day and we would play horse shoe and go hiking and eat deviled eggs? And then Tom fell down the cliff. Good memories, good memories.

Happy Thursday!

Pictures :(

You know, I really wanted to update my blog today and post some fun pictures of my rather smelly weekend. We have church at 9:00am so getting home at noon should give me plenty of time to get on the computer and do my blog-stuff but what do I do? I eat and then take a nap. Until 5:00pm when it's time to get up and go to Orem.

Snap.

So here I am, instead, at my parents' house, with no pictures. I should probably just carry my laptop with me everywhere I go if I ever want to get this done because I seem to always get on the internet everywhere BUT on my laptop.

I will now share with you some thoughts:

No, my husband and I did not get raptured yesterday. And neither did anyone else we know, as far as we are concerned. :(

I have forgotten how fun Mario Party is and have been lucky enough to be able to play it a few times lately with my bro- and sis-in law. Thanks Brad and Liz!

The Green Hornet is a badly made film. Don't see it.

I thoroughly enjoyed the small window of warmth and sunshine that we had yesterday.

A trip to the mall food court does count as a date when you are too tired to cook dinner.

My husband's side of the mattress is a lot softer than my side - why is that??

The Church is true.

Oh, and as far as end-of-the-world-doomsday-destruction is concerned, a volcano erupted under an glacier somewhere in Iceland.

Have a Great Sabbath!

The End of the World: May 21, 2011

[I've decided to copy my aunt and share with you the funny things we say in our daily lives.]

The following is a conversation that happened over text today:

Scotty: So I decided since it's the end of the world tomorrow, I'm going to moon everyone at work before I go home.
Me: Gross, I don't think anyone wants to see your hairy butt.
Scotty: I don't care if they do or don't, it's the end of the world and I can do what I want.
Me: And this is why YOU won't be taken up in the Rapture tomorrow.

See y'all in heaven tomorrow, everybody!!

Happy Summer...

So, once upon a time, it used to be nice outside. Scott and I had a grand old time! We played with our neice and nephew, drew pictures on the sidewalk, poured bubbles on the sidewalk, popped bubbles on the sidewalk...

We also have done some MEGA mooching so far this "summer." Although it is still May, I have thoroughly enjoyed our time mooching. A big thanks to Scott's fam for use of their bbq grill (til we have yet to buy our own...someday soon!) and to my parents for letting us use their firepit. Oh, and to Oy and Greg for taking time out of their busy, busy schedules to hang out with Scott and I around the firepit.

I love burnt hot dogs, scorched marshmallows, and caramelized Starbursts. I also love the fact that Nabisco has finally gotten some sense knocked into them and made SQUARE graham crackers!

Now, I will patiently sit back and wait for the rain to go away. In the meantime, I may clean. Also, pictures will be forth coming, as well as the long-awaited adventure of our dryer.

Happy Wednesday!

A Royal Flush

Why, you may ask, do I have an image of a toilet plunger on our blog. Well, there is a story behind this, and I figured it was so monumental that I had to post it, as gross or "potty-mouth" (hehe) as it may be.

Actually, there isn't really much of a story to it. It's embarrassing, really. The toilet plugged and our plunger was not getting the job done. My best idea was to get another plunger and wouldn't it be that we just happened to have another plunger sitting in our car in the trunk.

Thank you to those insightful friends who thought to give us a plunger at a White Elephant Christmas Party those many months ago.

:D :D :D
