Again!

 

I returned back to work today after nearly

a week off ....I nearly died!

Merry Christmas Eve!

*I visited my sweet little Eli yesterday!

 I gave him this book. He couldn't have been happier.

*Eli happiest baby alive!!

*Crying makes my eyes burn and headache FOREVER!

*I went to the dollar store yesterday and the shelves

were bare. It was like the world was coming to and end!

*I thought I locked my keys in my car yesterday and

nearly pooped my pants!

*The rear view mirror never lies!

*I hate black heads!

*I have missed the SUN!

All is calm all is bright!

 

Happy and Merry Christmas Eve!

Mittens!

 

*I am tired of the snow!

*I got stuck in my drive way last week while heading to work.

*I love a yummy nap!

*While at the store this weekend, I noticed a woman had something I wanted.

I asked her where she found it and she stated. "I'll run and get you a few!"

She reminded me of the joy of tiny thoughtfulnesses!

*I taught my Nef how to say Por Fa Vore!

*My even tinyer Nef thinks he can walk. Stay tiny Eli!

*I ran into a man w/ my cart this weekend..and it wasn't a tiny

run in and it was awkward.

*My brother thinks he is Santa and even looks like the Jolly old Soul!

*If I didn't have to go to Walmart for years, I'd be fine. I think I am over Walmarted!

*I sat by a newly engaged couple in church today...bad idea!

*I wish I could find some church shoes that I loved.

*My darling niece got braces. She looks like a teenaged.

*I hate scrapping my car!

*I love time off work. I wish it paid better!

 

Happy Christmas!

 

 

 

Crafting w/ a little!

I laid out all the supplies on the floor

and prompted my little "Nef" to come

and make a craft. He quickly noticed

the green poster board and went for a swim!

He rolled all over it and ran his hands over

the smooth surface. He loved crafting! I didn't

tell him their was more involved. Next time

I'll remember that it's the experience not the

outcome that matters most! I dare say

he loved his swim on the poster board

more then he ever loved swimming lessons!

done swinging!

*Theodore's thumb less mittens make his hands look like penguins hands!

his nap and then only stays asleep one hour).

Stuffage

This last little while has been a whirl wind and a blur!

This weekend I attended the local Woman's Forum

that I was on the board for. I had a fun time and hung out w/ Ms. Honeybee

ate lunch w/ three of the Six Sisters, and saw lots of my peeps!

 

Sunday was my birthday and I had a killer headache all day long

w/ Stake Conference to boot. Oh and it snowed! I had to scrape my car w/ my

hand sanitizer bottle. LAME!!

 

Happy Fall!

 

Gray

 

 

 

 

 

While laughing at my darling nephew the other day,

my sister pulled back my upper lip and said "YOU HAVE A GRAY TOOTH!"

 I told her that I knew. Sadly I was born in days before white fillings.

 Her answer "Oh!"

I don't eat meat!

 

At a party I had this conversation:

 

Me: Do all the soups have meat in them?

B: Ya I'm sorry! The middle one only has ham though!

Me: Ok thanks! (Thinking what the heck!)

 

A yummy meal was had by all!!

 

Witch Witch is Witch?

 

 

Last night a few of my very witchy friends gathered around the

cauldron for a little munch and mingle.

 

 

Upon entering we chose a name tag to

change our names to something a little more spookie.

As a witch keeping us anonymous is very important!

We'd hate word to get out to our friend and co-workers!

 

 

The night was bring your own "Booooo's".

 

 

The tables were delightfully set and then

mist and fog made us feel right at home!

 

 

Party favors remind us to remain witchy!

 

 

Some of the witchy women I know!!

 

 

Cackling in the corner!!

 

 

Admits our smell making and bat biting

can Glenda the Good Witch popped in for a visit!

 

 

Glenda was filled w/ good tidings and happy thought.

We promptly ignored her!

 

 

Her happy glow made it impossible to take a good clear

picture!!

 

 

After a heated witchy contest Miss Witch 2013

was selected and awarded. She sat at my table all

night and let me tell you she was a REAL WITCH!!

 

 

After that we picked bat bits from our teeth!

Grabbed our brooms and flew to the west to

join our very favorite witch sister!!

Rumor has it that a house landed on her.

True. But she is still a alive and well!

You may know her?

 

Happy Haloween!!
