What to blog....

So, here’s the deal…I really love to blog. I love reading blogs, and I would love to post blogs. But, here’s the problem…I have nothing to blog about. and I realize that I NEVER take pictures from January-March. I really have been brainstorming. Here are some ideas...

  • I can blog about Carly puking down my dress during the sacrament prayer on Sunday.
  • I can blog about an entire gallon of paint spilling on my carpet yesterday.
  • I can blog about taking my kids off sugar so they will actually start eating “real” food.
  • I can blog about the new nightstands I want from IKEA .
  • I can blog about what I want to do with our tax refund.
  • I can blog about Logan’s “captions” he puts on every picture he draws.
  • I can blog about going to the zoo on President's day (the elephant is expecting!)(and Frank told the kids that the reason the alligator was white is because it was dead).

But really, on this cold, snowy, boring, endless day, there is only one place I would really like to be…….



BACK IN CANCUN!!
It seems like it wasn't even me, and it definately feels like a lifetime ago, instead of less than a year! It was all inclusive (that meant nachos, sandwiches, queseldillas delivered room service every night at midnight - just for fun)! It was sunny, relaxing, and pure heaven. It was playing sudoku on the beach, while Frank read his book. It was eating at a different restaurant every night and spending as long as I wanted to get ready! It was taking naps in the middle of the day. It was snorkeling through caves, then drying out for hours in hammocks while waves crashed into the rocks next to us. It was being on an airplane whithout having to drug the kids to keep them quiet. It was shopping at our leisure. AND, it was taking the dumbest pictures we could think of, like these two...



AHHH, those were the good old days!!!

I've been tagged!!

5 things on my to do list:

  • Call everyone I know to see if I can come "hang out" until my painters leave.
  • Find a game for Logan's 1st grade Valentine party.
  • Laundry, dishes, etc.
  • Take some pictures so I can blog
  • Plan activities worth blogging about

5 jobs I've held:
  • Leavitt Group - Human Resources
  • Big Mountain Sandwich Company
  • Sampled dips and wassail at The Quilted Bear
  • Pizza Hut ("Thank you for choosing Pizza Hut, will this be for delivery, or carry out?"
  • Worked in the summer with 3 autistic girls (Nikki, Michelle, and Jessica)

5 places I've lived:
  • Sandy, Utah
  • Idaho
  • Canada
  • Logan, Utah
  • Bountiful, Utah - thank goodness I only needed 5!!

5 Favorite snacks:
  • Dreyers peppermint ice cream
  • Any brightly colored hard candy (runts, gobstoppers, nerds, sweetarts, etc)
  • Rocky Mountain apple pie apples
  • Crab wontons from Magraths
  • Peach Fresca and smart pop - only when I'm doing Weight Watchers

5 Things I'd do if I were a billionaire:
  • Go on a huge shopping spree for me - maybe even the mall, instead of my daily bargain finds at Wal Mart and Target.
  • Take my family to Disneyland and actually stay at the park hotel, and buy as many $7 Lemonades my kids can put down.
  • Finish renovating my stink'n house
  • Buy A LOT of brightly colored hard candy
  • I guess I'd save the rest (that's the PC thing to do, right?)


I tag: Stacy, Kalisa, Jessica, Tenielle, Leslie

BAG TAG


I have been bag tagged by Steph - thanks Steph! It was nice of you to think of me, even if was only to get me to update my blog! Here are the rules:

1. You have to show your bag
2. Show all the contents in the bag, no cleaning it out!
3. Bag tag 5 more people.

I know I was supposed to include my bag, but there just wasn't enough room in the picture with all my other crap! So here's the crap:

$876 in cash (American Express cash rebate - woohoo!)
4 quarters, 2 dimes & 7 pennies that I was too lazy to put back in my wallet
2 check books
A superbowl hot wings recipe from Frank's friend Ted - that Carly wrote all over
A bell from the Polar Express (yes, 2 months ago.)
Some weird froggy on a spring?!@#$
My broken cell - literally in two pieces.
An hourglass timer - what can I say, I guess I'm old school.
Sunglasses
Two invitations to valentine parties
Another psycho happy meal toy on wheels
Ibuprophen - always comes in handy
Pediatrician's business card
Coupon for Wendy's breakfast
List of how much paint I need to buy so the painter can finish the house
Carly's hair clip (I made, thank you)
A big old pile of receipts
Even a bigger pile of garbage - mostly candy wrappers!
