7 little things that are making me happy

1. My house is clean.
2. My snuggly, mooshy little Dallin just gave me a hug and said "I looooove you".
3. I have enough points left for a Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich.
4. I got to chat on the phone for just a minute with my Mom.
5. My kids are so funny - it is fun to watch them develop their sense of humor.
6. I am going to watch Ed & fold towels as soon as I get the kids to bed.
7. Lacie and I made these clip boards last Friday and I put them up on the wall. Fun to walk past them 50 times a day.

A blast from my past

If you have not been on facebook yet, you need get on.

Now. Go.

Did you go?

Ok - let me convince you.

I have NOT been to any high school reunions. I really couldn't think of anyone that I wanted to see, and high school was not my favorite time of life, let me tell you. But since I have been on facebook, I have connected with several people from that horrible time, and it is SO COOL. It's cool that they are real people with real grown-up lives. And it is cool that we have gone so many different directions, but that we still share memories.

And it is really fun to see old pictures that they post. So I was inspired to share some of mine - hehe. That is me on the left. I did a lot of theatre in high school. Anyway, your experience on facebook will probably be lots different than mine, but go anyways. It is so fun to connect with people that have been even a little part of your life.

Day 2

I really love the contrast of light and shadow on the branches outside my window.

Random and boring :)

February

Otherwise entitled, my random life.

I want to try something this month, and feel free to tune me out if you wish, but I am going to try to post something each day about my boring, everyday life. I figure, what the heck, it may be interesting to someone in fifty years. Wouldn't you love to peek into the details of your grandma's everyday life when she was raising kids? Ok - maybe not everyone would, but I would.

Blue jeans hung up to dry. Now really, can you get any more random and boring than that? By the way, there are 21 pairs of jeans hung up there. I'm thankful for my mega-sized washing machine :)

(I can only count 16 hangers in the picture, but I assure you that I hung 21 pairs)
