WHAT?!

It's snowing in Virginia, but not in Utah?! What the crap is that about?

And here is the proof. This lovely lady is my cousin Laura in Northern Virginia. My Aunt Shauna sent this pic via text to my Mom today. It's supposed to snow here in Logan all this weekend, so perhaps we will be able to send them pictures that will beat this one!!

Reminiscing

Reading Lindsey's blurb about me and Cristin made me remember all the good times we had the second semester of our Freshman year at Utah State University. And then I found this picture on my computer:



Those little dots that the arrows are pointing to are dead box elder bugs. We had an infestation that year. This picture was taken above my window in my dorm room. I would reach up there with a flip-flop and smash them and then be too grossed out to clean them off the wall. So they stayed there until I moved out - I never cleaned them up. I don't think I really need to explain how their names came about - okay, okay - box elder bugs are a type of beetle and there happened to be 4 of them so they got named after The Beatles. Are you happy now? :-)

Skittles Trade

I saw this commercial months ago, but it still makes me laugh every time I watch it!

Hold Me Tight

Well yesterday Jer, Clay and I all went over to Cristin and Mark's house and made that delicious cracker candy. (We had to make it sooner than planned because Cristin ended up going visiting teaching today.) Before we made the candy, however, we went over to Michaels to get some decorative boxes to put our tasty treats in. We ended up getting those awesome chinese take-out boxes with many different holiday designs on them. (Thanks for the tip, Lin!) Anyway, we took Clayton with us because Jer was busy writing a paper and Mark doesn't watch babies. It was about 9pm and Clay was getting tired, but he has a hard time falling asleep by himself. Thankfully, I have a few secret weapons - the best one being a song from "Across the Universe" that he loves to hear. It's called "Hold Me Tight". Did I mention that the louder you sing it the better he likes it? So, that's what I did all down the aisles of Michaels in search of the holiday chinese take-out boxes. It was for a good cause, though. And it worked! Fussy little Clay was able to relax and fall asleep in his car seat as I sang to him. Oh how little embarrasses me now that I'm a mom!!

You Eat it Too, Martha Stewart

This clip from the Today show I caught one morning last week while feeding Clayton. I was shocked when I saw this - Martha Stewart must be very OCD or something!!
