"Baby I'ts Cold Outside"

Current Status:

Cold - for us desert-ians.  A freezing cold high of 47.  I was totally meant to live here.  I think the tears would freeze on my face if I was stuck in the cold that is Utah right now.

Spoke in Church yesterday.  Scary.
Our ward takes fills up the entire chapel and one of two gyms.  So its like speaking in Stake Conference.
But I survived.

Other highlights of late:

• Made about $120 from a a garage sale I had with a couple of neighbors.  I only had about a truck load worth of stuff, so I am thrilled with my little cash.
• James remembered to go to guitar lessons today
• Pomegranates.  The hard part is starting to eat them, the happy part is the long, drawn out, actual eating of them. 
• My Merry Christmas Blendtec.  Somehow my kids think having it means more shakes.  NO! I keep telling them when I see the empty shake glasses. 
• having Dave as a husband
• fleece jackets and blankets, pajamas, etc.
• Thai House
• Book Club
• "Chocolate Covered Cherries" flavor of custard at Nielsens Frozen Custard.  YES - we have one, two actually, here!
• texting
• shopping at Savers
• keep my New Years resolution for 14 days straight.  I wont say what it is right now but I'll tell you what it isn't.  Last year I set a goal to have 0 (that is ZERO) library fines.  This is not a good goal to set.  It is not realistic and not achievable.  People should set realistic and achievable goals, say the experts.  Like say, keeping your balance under $30 per card, ie: per person.  This I may have been able to reach.  And really if we didn't pay fines how would the library have money for more wonderful books.  It's a service I am depriving the community if I set such a goal.  So it is not that goal, and may never be again.  

And the not so much . . .

• missing recycle day
• stubborn pre-teenagers
• stubborn self
• buying a pair of pants in a bigger size, for myself.  NOT a good day
• getting an MMR shot because I have no record of mine, and have to have one to work in the schools.  I have been lying to my children for years.  It stung soooooooooooo bad!
• Ordering hotness at a level 3 of 5, at Thai house
• Eating Nielsens Frozen Custard when you really want to trim down a little.  Just a single serving but, calories, calories. 
• the dog eating a giant Hersheys kiss
• Peter refusing to go to his first class the first day back at school
• feeling your children's pain
• I just realized I forgot to pick up James from guitar.  Bye
