Sunday = good

Combined priesthood/relief society = more time with J.
Awesome lesson on staying out of debt = trying to get J to pay attention.
More muddy buddies. (this probably is not a good thing. But I LOVE them.)
The Lepinskis. Seriously. I love those guys. Delicious food and lots of laughs. It couldn't get any better.
Night time bike ride to my parents house. Sure, there aren't enough street lights on my street so it was a little scary, and my hands and ears about froze off, and that hill is a lot steeper than you think it is when you're driving up it and I learned that I am desperately out of shape, but it's nice to be close enough to ride my bike.
I did not reread Twilight, even though that movie seriously tempted me to. This is a good thing. I don't have time to be in love with a vampire.

Twilight!!

I saw twilight with cornnut! It was awesome! Terribly, terribly full of cheese, but it was fun to watch and laugh at. And I don't care what you say C, I think Edward is a hottie. And this is funny. And it was fantastic to see C again.
I ate more pie.
I finally had that "staff meeting" I've been wanting to have for ages.
3 words: Pizza [and] Planet Earth. Mmm.

Seriously, I think I would see Twilight again. It was just so bad! That terrible acting! Jasper's hair! And facial expression! Oh, so many awful things...

another successful day

today i went to see twilight with kaitlyn.e, who drove allllll the way to my house to get me. hubby was such a doll and watched little buddy so i could go. although the movie wasn't that great, i did laugh through it, and it was good to see her!

i got my house all decorated for christmas minus the tree. we're doing that tomorrow. and can i say, it is fabulous. i have garlands this year, which makes me happy. i'm excited to get the tree up. :)

went to the store with hubby. he bought me coke. yum. and let me walk up and down the christmas aisle...again. (i can't help it, i'm drawn to it.)

got my laundry folded and my house somewhat clean.

FINALLY saw the end of "along came polly." i have never seen that movie all the way through, but have seen most of it in pieces. a few times. so it was good to finally see how it ended.

I woke up early and went shopping! My first black friday shopping experience ever. And it wasn't even that bad. I feel bad for the stores and the economy, actually. It really wasn't any worse than any other day of shopping. Mom bought me some nice clothes for christmas for my internship. Whew.
I took a nap in the office chair. Not terribly comfortable, but somewhat refreshing.
I feel excited about the future.
Leftover enchilada for lunch = delicious.
PIE with the family! Banana cream! Chocolate cream! Pumpkin! Lemon meringue!
I have the cutest niece in the entire world.
PIE! Leftover pie. and whipped cream.
My dad is awesome, for numerous reasons.
My mom is also awesome, for numerous reasons.

Thanksgiving!

Today is Thanksgiving. So I got to eat turkey and delicious gravy and mashed potatoes and yams and rolls and chocolate cream pie and pumpkin pie oh, and cheese and crackers and shrimp. We had dinner at the in-laws and they invited my parents to come too (poor empty nesters were going to have Thanksgiving alone!), so it was the best of both worlds.
Joseph swiffered the living room.
I didn't do any work.
I got to read.
I had a nice talk with my dad. I like it when he talks with me. He's a pretty great guy.
I'm going to bed early. And I'm going to read some more.

mom told me about the delicious delicious pies she is making for tomorrow.
i ate some life cereal. i love whoever invented life cereal.
i also love whoever invented text messaging: i had a nice text-message-conversation with a friend.
a random person commented on my blog! someone actually read my blog! (oh, that actually happened yesterday. well, i'm still excited about it today.)

caitie's mom told me i'm artsy. silly lady.

dr. baker so very kindly canceled class today.
joseph and i had lunch together on that deck thing outside the fourth floor of the jfsb. (i know that doesn't make sense if you don't already know what i'm talking about.)
i am excited to do things with my life.
i picked up a copy of the humanities alumni magazine, which i helped put together.
it is caitie's birthday. so i made her a little accordion card and she liked it. and i got to eat cupcakes and cake and ice cream. and i got to see her family again. i miss them.
i convinced joseph to get serious about that project i've been bugging him about.
joseph ran a bunch of errands while i was at work.
i bought some cute candles and set them up.

sitting around in my pjs

i got my christmas cards finished today!

it is tuesday, which means only one work day left this week. hallelujia!

i found $8 by my car door in the parking lot today. that bought dinner at wendy's. yum.

we went to toys r us and looked at toys for little buddy for christmas. he really loves things that vibrate--we found this cute little monster that vibrates when you hit it and says something really cute about a rumbly in his tummy or something but i can't remember. little buddy giggled like crazy when he was holding it--so cute! too bad it was ages 2 and up. but we found a cute vibrating ball in the shape of an animal at wal-mart that is (the giggle and wiggle cow/pig/chicken). so cute. that's a definite gift.

i'm really looking forward to all of the fun stuff during the next couple of weeks!

only one month until christmas!

little buddy learned to climb stairs today.

No one was in the secret lab, so I got to listen to pandora loudly and sing along.

real estate

we got a call from our realtor yesterday. they had an appointment to show our house. yay!

unfortunately the people who wanted to see it missed their flight from idaho, so they didn't get to look at it.

this was a good thing, because the call came last minute (while i was at work) and hubby had to clean the house really quickly by himself. this gave me time to clean more this morning, because, YAY, they are VERY INTERESTED and rescheduled the showing for this afternoon.

19 November 2008

Brother Gardner canceled the class that he was going to have me teach next week. (This is a very good thing.)

He also called me "the best" (in reference to my editing skills/internship). I'm sure part of it is just that he's a nice person (I know that was kind of negative, but I'm new at this), but it was still really nice to hear.

Brother Gardner also told me that I made the right choice about my internship. (I was considering holding out for a different internship with the Church magazines.) It's nice to know.

I got to talk to Emma.

I really like the sounds station on pandora.

Wyatt asked me to take pictures for him on Friday. And to sew him something. I'm good at neither photography nor sewing, but it still made me feel good that he asked.

Caitie came over.

We made muddy buddies.

I ate muddy buddies.

and we watched Gilmore Girls.

Intern

Good things that happened to me last Monday:

I was offered an internship.

Good things that happened to me last Friday:

I accepted an internship.

Bread

Good things that happened today:

A lady in my ward brought us a loaf of homemade bread as a welcome to the neighborhood gift. I ate some with honey on it and it was good.

The end.

we are scientists

We all know what a scientific mind I have (seriously, could I be any more left-brained?). So, in the spirit of science, I have decided to conduct an experiment. If I act like my glass is half full, will I feel like my glass is half full? I'm here to find out.
