oh christmas tree

here are some pictures of our christmas tree cutting down ceremony. yep that is the little tree/bush thing that is in our front yard. last year we cut down a little tree from the back yard. next year we may have to buy a tree because the apple trees might be a little too big!

in this picture you can see our cat. well, the one that claims us as his/her family. actually, i tried to take it to the shelter today, but as i got it in the car, it hopped out the other side and ran away. i don't mind having it around, but i don't want it in the house, and i don't want to find a dead frozen cat in the springtime. anyway, back to the christmas tree...

ta da!

one stop shopping

context: annie sitting on me. she said she was driving the car.

me: where are you going?
annie: to the store?
me: what are you going to buy?
annie: milk.
me: what else?
annie: elephants. bananas. snowmen. care bears.

i'm not sure what store she thought she was going to.

sponge bob what pants?

annie likes to find "microphones" (or "microhones"as she likes to call them) out in the yard. she uses weeds, sticks, branches or whatever and uses them to sing. here she is with her version of sponge bob.

for your shopping umm....pleasure?

ok so i know you can't read the name of this store i passed in sugarhouse the other day. it is (m)adam and (st)eve's erotic bakery. i guess i am really naive, but i do admit i'm kinda curious. what would be sold in an establishment such as this? and who knew erotic bakeries existed at all?

a kick in the pants

i saw this on one of alyssa's shared items. it gave me some inspiration too. maybe it will give me a little kick in my mom butt to get to the gym.

circle the wagons

dan has been into cooking with dutch ovens. recently we have made apple crisp, cinnamon pull aparts, pizza and more tasty goodies. tonight we made dinner for dan's family. we made moussaka, a meat and potato casserole thing, and another dish with tomatoes and feta cheese. i even made homemade bread. yep in the dutch oven. it turned out great. dan's brother then made a triple chocolate cake that was delicious. mmm. we figure we are preparing for an emergency when we don't have electricity to cook.

anyone want to join our wagon train on the mass exodus walk back to missouri sometime in the near future?

oops

so i didn't blog yesterday. sorry to all my faithful readers. i had just turned off the computer and got into bed when i remembered. and i wasn't going to get out of bed and turn the computer back on. i guess i'm not as hard core as i thought i was.

healthy eating?

so i have decided that i need to try to eat healthier. i have been exercising pretty regularly, but haven't really lost any weight. however, it is taking me a lot longer than i planned to start eating healthy. they tell you to clean out your cupboards and fridge of tempting items. i'm working on this, but there is only so much leftover halloween candy, frozen cookie dough, banana bread, caramel apples, ice cream, chocolate chips, goldfish crackers, and cubes of butter i can eat in one day.

bye laurie

laurie lived across the street growing up. she always carried her shovel and pail, twirling the shovel around her finger. i loved testimony meetings because she always got up and shared her testimony including how much she loved my dad. she was always fun to be around and will be greatly missed.

death by chocolate?

would it be better to die from a brain hemorrhage or from heart disease? really i just want to know what kind of yogurt to buy. should i get the light variety (containing aspartame) which can cause brain hemorrhages, or the regular kind that has sugar and high-fructose corn syrup and more calories which contribute to my obesity problem leading to heart disease? i guess it doesn't really matter, they both come in plastic containers that cause cancer.

i'm still cool, right?

you know you're old when you go to a concert, they check your bag, and the only thing questionable you have is a diaper and wipes.

evil

why is it that i would never eat more than one candy bar a day (the regular sized ones - i rarely eat them anyway), but i think it is ok to eat 50-100 miniature or snack-sized candy bars in one day?

must see t.v.

globe trekker. tonight at 9:00 p.m. on pbs. this is the one show we (almost) faithfully watch. tonight they go to cyprus and crete. bon voyage.
