I Love Edward!

I have been waiting & waiting, and I just heard that Twilight the movie will open Dec 12th. IF you go onto the website www.stepheniemeyer.com or www.twilightlexicon.com it shows who is playing all the rest so far. I know I'm a geek. I can't help it!

The 4th book in the twilight series, Breaking Dawn, goes on sale at 12:01 a.m. Aug 2nd. (You can already pre-order it!)

She has another book being released, for adults, entitled the Host, which features an alien species that takes over the minds of their human hosts, comes out May 6th. I loved Ender's Game, so this may be a good book...

It's All Sugar!!!

I have been a little obsessed with the Food Network lately - especially the "Challenges" - cakes, chocolate, sugar, etc...My kids are lucky to get a cake with sprinkles on it - but some of those cakes are AMAZING! I am a little jealous that I don't have that much creativity or know how - but I know some people who do (and you know who you are!!)

All weekend I kept bringing kids over to see the different cakes & candy sculptures, and saying "It's All Sugar!" - Troy is tired of hearing it from me, and seeing all the different Food Network shows on our Tivo.

Requests...

For Christmas, we got a yummy "Chex Mix" that had craisins, nuts, Cheerios, Chex and it was coated in white chocolate & sprinkled with cinnamon & sugar...it was DIVINE! Needless to say there were too many things in there that my people didn't like, so I got it all to myself!! Anyway...I want to make some of it, and I have been trying to find the recipe EVERYWHERE, and can't find it. The person who gave it to me is out of town all week, and I am craving it NOW!!

Anyone every heard of this and have the recipe?!?!?

My Boy is Famous!

Not only do I think Nick is great, but other people do too! Check this out...

Nick at Snowboarding Lessons

(1x5) x 100 = Too Much!!

These suckers lined up from right by my front door, all the way to my fireplace.
This was my biggest vinyl job yet, and most likely the biggest one I will ever do...
I didn't have a lot of fun with it...

I am so thankful for my family who helped me get this done -
I don't think I could have finished this without them!!

Needless to say, I was not sad to see them leave my house today!!

Calming Down...

I just had to get rid of the pink!! It looked like a Pepto bottle threw up on my page! It gave me a bit of a headache when I looked at it!

Things are going pretty well - I had my first Ward Council meeting this past Sunday (at 7:30am - UGH!), and other than not knowing what to expect, or what I was supposed to do, I think I am getting Primary under control.

I am REALLY tired of vinyl right now. My huge order is due this week, and I am starting to stick them on the granite blocks. I may have to take a short sabbatical from vinyl, so I can love doing it again.


My most exciting news from the last week...My studly husband was not only kicking some butt working on the house, but he was kicking butt at work! He earned/won a CRUISE for having the highest percentage increase in his department nationwide. He gets to take a guest, and after a lot of thought, he decided he would take me!! We are going March 29-April 5 to the Mexican Rivera. I guess I need to get my butt in gear, and get back to the gym!!

Like Father, Like Son...

OK, so this picture was before Christmas, but I am just BARELY getting around to downloading my pictures. Anyway...this was one day that Troy and his Dad were working on the house, and when Troy's Dad showed up, he was wearing the same "outfit" as Troy.

(They are even wearing the same shoes, Troy's are just newer, and notice the hole on the same knee of their pants!)

It was just too funny!
