Dug

I mentioned my co-worker, Dug, before. I decided to add his blog to my blog list today. He just keeps me laughing all week long. Seriously take the time to scroll down and see when he updates. There are either some crazy awesome photos (which I suspect will pop up tomorrow afternoon) or things that just make you go hmmmm

Book Purse Give-a-way

I think these purses are awesome. Check out the Fire and Ice blog where one is being given away.

While you are there, donate to the Chile Earthquake relief efforts. (Or click on the previous link.)


I personally want the Harry Potter one.

Draper Temple

We all know that I love the Draper Temple. We were there on Saturday during a storm and I was able to catch a few photos. This is Rick headed to get the car so I didn't have to walk so far in the rain.

March 13th House Update

House Update March 3rd

Since tomorrow is Saturday and I will have new photos of the house I thought I had better get the photos from last week posted.

Fire at the OK Corral

We had a fire last week. I was out on the porch when I saw a little smoke coming out of the dumpster. I told the dood about it and he walked down to check it out since I couldn't tell if it was real smoke or just dust. He didn't see any flames so I called the apartment complex people. It took them 15 to send someone over. By then we had some nice smoke. While I was waiting I noticed that there were some buds on the try. The apartment guy showed up without a fire extinguisher cause I guess they didn't trust me when I called. He took another good 5-8 min to get back with one By then I didn't know when he would be back so I called the fire department. It even took them 20 min to get the fire out. (Notice our little black car was the second car next to the dumpster.) I have no idea what was in there burning but I think they probably filled the dumpster half way with water before it went out.

Matilda Jones

I can't believe I didn't blog about my sister Maddy aka Matilda Jones, back in JANUARY. See I totally suck at blogging now. I am WAY out of date. Not only that, she brought her squishy with her.

Oh My Goodness!!

I just looked at my moving day countdown -
28 days and 15 hours!!
WHOA!

Facials

So it is evident that I suck at blogging lately. I just don't have the time. I haven't even been clearing the photos of my camera, something I really need to do because I am almost out of space.
One of the fun things I have been busy doing was going to a facial/skin care party with my friends. I almost didn't make it because I had to present a thing in Relief Society the same night. I am SOOOO glad I went. How often do you have your friends tell you that you look like toothpaste?

Dug

I have a co-worker that I thoroughly enjoy working with. He is very intelligent and good at what he does. He has a blog that makes tears come to my eyes every time I read it. Today the winner is this doozey. Dug additionally has a deep love and reverence towards our beloved Harmon's.

Home

I am so excited for my new home. I NEVER thought I would have my own home built. Everything I do everyday is around getting into my new home. Once we move in, I know I will have so much to do. I can't wait to be able to work in my yard - those that have known me long enough know that I have serious about this too. Just so excited!!

Taco Bell

Last night we were discussing different things in life when Taco Bell was brought up. It was discussed that each of us has our guilty pleasure there. For one it was Nachos Bell Grande and another it was a #8 - I don't remember what the #8 is. For me, it is the Crunchy Fresco Tacos. I gave in today and purchased fast food for lunch for the first time this entire year! Ok I really ran out of time last night, talking with family, for me to make lunches so Rick said, why don't you just go buy lunch tomorrow. I have a million+ options near work but one place stood out very clearly in my mind. I had to go to Taco Bell.
I remember the VERY first time I ate there. I was 17 years old and had just graduated from high school. I was visiting my dad and family in Seattle. The boy across the street was a bat boy for the Mariners and he took me to a game. After we stopped at Taco Bell. Prior to this time, we had always had Time Time. (The Taco Time on 400 south which was next door to a Taco Bell to be specific. We ate there 2 or 3 times a week in my memory. They had felt pictures on the walls of bull fighters. But Taco Time is not the point of this blog.)
I believe I ordered 2 tacos. I don't know if I specified soft or crunchy and really don't know which I received. I do remember the lovely yellow wrapping. So this boy and I were eating out Taco Bell at like 11:00 pm - really the only the acceptable time to eat Taco Bell. I do remember that for some reason I didn't eat my second taco. Not only that, I slid it under the seat of this guy's car. It was some yellow mustang type car. Something I am sure he babyed.
Now here's the thing, he ended up being a jerk and later on in life I remembered that hidden taco and laughed to myself. Even now, more than 15 years later, I still laugh at the stench that he must have found in his car weeks later.

Weekly Update

Here are photos from our weekly trip to our new home. This week we have an inspection meeting with our contractor to go over plumbing and electrical =)

This weekend

Been a little busy this weekend. My sister's dad, ok technically "half-blood sister" - OOO maybe I will start calling her the Half Blood Princess - anyway, my X-Stepfather passed away on Thursday. I learned this on Saturday morning. Saturday afternoon I learned the preemie baby born to my aunt's x-husband (yes this is a trend) died on Saturday. He was born on Monday at 24 weeks and just wasn't strong enough.
Been doing the house and Valentine's thing too. I will get some house photos up as soon as I can.

Gardening Update

So I had my gardening class this week...we learned about watering. I also learned that EVERYTHING he goes over is in his book. That means, I am not taking notes anymore. I guess you check out www.gordonwells.net if you want to learn more. Really this guy is awesome!
