Third Time's the Charm!

Ah, Twilight...I had a hott date with Stacy last night at the $3 Theater. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening making fun of Spider Monkeys and Flying Squirrels. I took my camera.

Fact:Camera + Icees + Cotton Candy + Sour Patch Kids + Butterfinger Hearts

= Silly Photos

+ Lots of Giggling

We're having Valentines dinner together on Sunday night too. It will be a very romantic fondue dinner. Then, I think we'll have a craft day--felt pins, canvas squares, paper shirts, scrapbooking, ric rac headbands, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. : )

I also hope to get the band together again sometime soon. We haven't had a rock fest in a while. Perhaps we can try out some new tunes and I can test out the new guitar. Schweet!!

That's Why They Call Me Mrs. Farenheit

So, I was at work yesterday taking money for the chamber luncheon and just going about my day when a wave of nausea hit me and I really started to feel queasy. I figured well maybe it would pass, but I got back to my desk and still felt like throwing up and like I was just getting sicker. I gnawed on a nasty chewable pepto bismo that Stacy just happen to have (luckily), but it didn't really get any better. In fact I started to feel sicker--pepto may cover nausea, heartburn, indigestion, and diarrhea, but it clearly doesn't work for chills and fever like symptoms.

So, after an hour or so of that I finally gave up and went home where I watched a couple movies and tried to get warm without success. It turned out, that I was running a fever of about 101.6 or somewhere in there. Which clearly explains my fever-like symptoms! DUH! I really couldn't get warm all afternoon though even with three blankets on--I finally got smart after a while and plugged my heating pad in.

I took a few ibuprofens before I went to bed though and I think that helped break the fever in the night. I woke up feeling quite a bit better, drained but better; not knowing whether it would hit again this afternoon, or whether I was deathly contagious I stayed home from work today. I basically lay around all day but when I got a couple of bouts of energy I folded some laundry and ran a load of dishes. I hate sick days--they're so boring!! Such a waste of a day off work!!

Well, I will be back to work tomorrow wishing I had an excuse to stay home...it's funny how we always want whatever we don't have right at the moment. Fickle, fickle, fickle!

P.S. If you're wondering about the title of this post just know I really like Queen songs.

Superbowl Sunday

We went to Steph & George's house for their superbowl party. It was great because our church doesn't end until 4pm. So, by the time we had dinner and finished baking the cookies that I wanted to take to the party it was already half time. Now, you might be thinking we were bummed about that, but we were thrilled. It still took half an hour to get to Rexburg which meant that we only ended up having to watch about 10 minutes of actual football. YAY!!


You see neither John, nor I are very big football fans obviously. This way we got to see all of the best parts which in this case were really lame and included a very anticlimactic ending. Although, I will admit that I'm bummed we missed some pretty sweet superbowl commercials. Especially that we didn't get to see the 3D ads and I also missed the new transformers movie preview.

But the highlight of my evening was getting to hold 5 week old J.P. (I think that was his name--Sorry!!). He was so tiny and so cute!!


Everyone was so surprised to see him awake, not feeding, and happy. I merely explained to them that this was nothing new, I have a strange way with babies. We have a thing for each other. His mom decided that I was the "Baby Whisperer" and after all these years of trying to figure out how to describe my baby magnetism I was quite happy to finally have a fitting title for the phenomenon. Yes, I am the Baby Whisperer!

When the superbowl was over they ended up changing the channel and finding out that the Wipeout show similar to MXE was on. I was trying to get George to take a good photo of John and I but obviously George didn't block the TV well enough to get John's attention for this shot:


This last one ended up pretty good though because we made fun of John enough that he had to look for at least one of them but you can tell he's still laughing.


Oh, yeah, they forgot to turn the channell back in time to see the beginning of that sweet hour long episode of the office so we didn't actually get to watch it that night. But they lent me their laptop so I could catchup on a couple of the important episodes I had missed from the past couple of weeks.By the way, I still haven't seen that episode of the office so don't say anything!!

The End!

Good Ole Eastern Idaho

Well, I was having a kinda crappy morning the other day because I woke up to this...


and remembered that meant there would be more of this everywhere...


Then, it was so windy in the afternoon that my dumpster lid was blowing in the wind like crazy (you can't really tell from this picture but I'm pretty sure that it's being held open by the wind).


But, I have to say that as much as I hate the cold here and as much as I really don't love Eastern Idaho, I gotta admit that I love the beautiful sunsets here.


This one was especially beautiful and I just happened to have my camera so I had to get out and take a few shots at the park before my chance was gone. It was pretty! Like the sky is wearing rosy blush.

J-Rom & Steez's Big Move

Today John and I helped fit a camel through the eye of a needle. Okay, not really, but basically the same thing--We moved all of Stacy's stuff, oh yeah--Jarom's too, over to their new apartment.

This is the moving crew working very hard...

The truck:

Stacy's D.I. Pile : )

A load of crap : )


My all time favorite photo of Jarom & Stacy:


Okay, you've got to scroll down through the next photos like a flipbook so you can get the real feel of what's going on here. This is good!







I scared Stacy so much she was out for a while...nearly wet her pants really...

Stay Classy Edward!

Okay, my husband wants to go see Twilight tonight because I finally got him to read (well, listen to) the book and he actually kinda liked it. But because I'm planning on going with him to see the movie again I've kinda had Twilight on the brain and I saw Robert Pattinson in the Yahoo news this morning when I checked my email at work today and I gotta say that I'm still not in love with him like I should be with Edward. When I saw the movie the first time I thought "well, he kinda grows on you...especially in that one scene when he's being so casual and smiles all cutely at Bella..." and... (I'm sure you can imagine how the rest of that train of thought went considering that I am a girl ; )

But, as I was looking at more photos of him again, I still look and my automatic first impression is "There is no way he's Edward!!!" I am sorry to all those who cast him but---No Cigar!!! I just don't agree with him in the role of Edward Cullen. For one thing I think that Robert is only really adorable when he smiles. Don't get me wrong, I think he can be plenty steamy (yes I did youtube videos of him when I first heard that he was the actor cast as Edward) but I just think he's not very attractive when he's being serious. His serious face is not that hott and that is just wrong because Edward is serious all the time and still looks like he's chiseled out of marble with the face of a fierce angel. Sorry, but I am pathetically among the crowd desperately in love (the fictional, sappy, girlie, fake kind of love of course) with Edward and can't stand that they did him wrong in the movie.

The other thing about Pattinson that I really have an issue with is a matter of interpretation about Edward's actual character, but I just assumed he would be more classy. More dapper or old fashioned in a sense--kind of like a slightly updated newsie (Christian Bale still holds a special place in my heart for that one). For one thing, I accidentally misread his character when I first read the books and thought for some reason that he had darker hair and so of course it's hard for me to change my first idea of his looks. But, in my head he seemed like more of a Tom Cruise (far & away version of course) than a sloppy kid. I know I'm wrong with the hair color but I still think that Edward holds onto his old fashioned tendencies a little more than they showed in the movie--he was born in the early 1900's for heaven sakes!!! I don't know about anyone else but I just think that he of all people would hold onto a little bit more of the old fashioned looks.

But the reason why he was on yahoo news was his lovely new haircut. Personally I think he looks more like Edward's character than he did with his tangly wild hair but lots of people are freaking out apparently. He got in trouble with all the movie directors and such because he obviously has to have similar type hair for New Moon when they start filming in March. I read an interview he did a while ago when he told the interviewer that he didn't get why everyone in America thought his hair was such a big deal. He told her that he wanted to cut it off but I never thought he'd actually follow through with that threat. I think it's quite funny actually! Here's a snapshot:

Anyway, that's my rant on Edward and the reason behind it along with some photos for your entertainment. Over and out!

An Update!

Okay guys, here it is, an update! You've all been asking for one for a while so I finally am doing it. Happy? Well, I'm doing it but I have no idea what to write about except for the fact that I almost just spelled write "right" so that pretty much shows how my life is going right now. I'm busy and I'm losing my mind. I think that my college education is already slowly slipping away and it's only been four or five months. At work we have been sold out and completely booked with Christmas parties so I've worked a little extra and things have been more stressful than ever with the staff. Not to mention that I've still had to prep a primary lesson and go to my own Christmas parties. By the time this week alone is over John and I will have gone to 4 Christmas parties--both our work parties and two of our friends' parties. And, three of them are white elephants which means that I will have been to WalMart at least once every night this week as well buying stinkin white elephant junk and last minute food/party items. Not to mention the extra house key I had to go get cut because I can't find my house keys. That keyring also has my office keys on it meaning that when I got to work today I didn't have a way into my office!!!! CRAZINESS!!! But I am very pleased with the way things are going with Scentsy. I am loving the product myself and it seems like everyone else does too. I'm also excited by the prospect of having a little extra fun stuff on the side (not that I need more to do) and an excuse to party with my friends. I've had my first two parties this month and I'm really looking forward to January because I'll be having a couple more parties. John started working at Kohl's too because he wanted a way to make extra money for the holidays too. But he works there after his other jobs which means that he doesn't get home until about 12:30 at night and I haven't been able to go to bed before he gets home. I am enjoying his discount though. We are both really looking forward to the holidays though--so much so that John's already given me most of my presents--but we are both very excited to see family and especially for James' wedding. This is a long post and you probably won't read it anyway because there aren't any pictures but oh well, at least I gave the people what they wanted.
