Where Have I Been?????

Avoiding the c-c-c-c-o-l-d basement where my computer and blog are awaiting

    • Wiping hands, faces, butts, and tears
    • Cooking dinner
    • Making pies and pies and pies to enter in a pie contest
    • Making chili to enter in a chili contest
    • Losing the chili and pie cookoff
    • Being a sore loser for losing the chili and pie cookoff
    • Visiting Tennessee for 2 1/2 weeks
    • Handling firearms while in Tennessee

    • Turning clothes pins into "Wolverine Claws"
    • Talking on the phone to Jaime about kids, cooking, and church
    • Crying to my Mom for losing my temper at my kids
    • Obsessing over my new part time job of clipping coupons (seriously I didn't get a job, but running down a good deal feels like a part-time job)
    • Giving baths. Like a hundred thousand baths.
    • Reading "The Giver" for book club
    • Crying as I read "The Giver"
    • Going to Church

    • Watching "500 Days of Summer"
    • Going to see my handsome dentist only to hear that I have 2 cavities and a busted crown. Waaaaahhhhh!!!!
    • Running on the treadmill.
    • Lip-Syncing "Stacey's Mom" in the reflection of the TV as I am running on the treadmill
    • Practicing my pretend half-marathon victory pose in the reflection of the TV as I am running on the treadmill (no, I am not training for a half-marathon....I just like to pretend that I am)
    • Hearing the sweet-awesome news that Emily is engaged
    • Playing endless amounts of Super Hero Squad
    • Snuggling adorable little Cyrus
    • Trying to figure out how to sew a v-neck. Boooooo!!! This one's a toughie.

Oh no. The V neck.

I was wondering how that was going.

Not good I guess.

And Emily's engaged. WaHoo!

Unknown said...

With Cally and you for happiness for Emily. He better be good because I love Emily.

Glad you filled us in on your days.

I wanna shoot a gun.

Nice. I especially like your imaginary pass times (like the half-marathon).

First let me just say I love your tights! (I typed that last word thighs until I fixed it. I kinda wish I hadn't.)
Glad you've been handling firearms.

Jeigh said...

Three things: Love the Giver. Awesome tights. "Stacy's Mom" pretty much rocks. Especially when you change it to "Jenna's" or "Halle's" or "Calvin's" or "Wyatt's" mom, am I right? Eh? Eh?

Laura said...

I'm just crackin' up over the whole post! Oh, how you've been missed in the blogging world.
I hope you had a great time down in TN. Sorry I didn't visit but obviously you survived that loss. :)
note to self: get the book "The Giver." and add "Stacey's Mom" to my MP3 player to motivate the body here.
Glad to have you back.

Linda said...

I'm glad you are back; I have missed you. I'll bet your boys have really grown.

You got first place for both chili and pie from the Seares. Those missionaries don't know good food.

Mom said...

The sun in shining again! I am shocked at what you did while I was in Idaho obviously Dad is having an influence on you! AK47(raised eyebrows). Now be brave and keep blogging even if it is cold in the basement. Love!

Laura said...

Yay! Glad you had a good time! Love your tights in that picture!

Also, I love 500 days of summer. hope you liked it.
