Today is Tuesday, It is a sunny day outside and it is my last day sitting with my grandma before she leaves for Las Vegas. We are both sitting here watching matlock.
It isn't fun living in two different places. I hope something changes ( for the good) soon. I guess it could be worse.
What have I been up to lately......let us see.......yesterday, I was pretty tired so I didn't get much done. I did my budget! Yay! I have an intense budget! I mean, I do my budget every month. It makes me feel like I accomplish things. I took a finance class in college and I learned a lot from it.
On sunday I went to all of church! yay me!! I have a hard time sitting in those chairs for so long, my body starts to ache and gets tired easy!
Saturday was new years eve, and I didn't stay up until midnight.

Recent Happenings!!
Yes, I know it has been a little while since I posted. I have a couple of reasons.
I had no computer for a while and I simply kept forgetting :)
I am now the owner of a new laptop, courtesy of christmas!! YAY!! It is so awesome! I love it! A few months ago I had bought a little netbook, but it kept freezing and making funny noises. I called the manufacture and they won't replace it, but they said it was still under warranty. I had to pay to ship it back to them, hopefully they ship it back and the problem doesn't persist anym more. My husband (and myself) convinced me to get a nice laptop. My desk top computer is dieing a slow death and only will turn on half the time, the other half the time when it does turn on it sounds like it is about to take off into outer space. It's pretty noisy. So this is me right now, typing on my new computer!
This week was christmas, and as a Christmas tradition for me....I was sick. Not extrememly sick, but just a small fever and aches. I did get to visit my inlaws because they were all close by, but I have yet to visit my family for the holidays, due to not enough energy to drive there. It will happen though :)
So cool story.
This is the first Christmas we had without my mother-in-law. She died in January this year, but apparently she was thinking ahead. I often wonder if she thought she wouldn't make it another year. Anyways, she bought genuine nutcrackers that were from germany either just before Christmas last year or right after, intending them to be for this year. So each one of her kids got to open a gift from their mom this christmas. It even had the year 2011 and their names written on it. I thought that was so neat. Now my husband and I have two genuine nutcrackers that were made in Germany. I will have to take pictures and show you.
I Guess I should give everyone (or those who read this) a Chronic Mono update.
I still have it!!!!! I am not sure how to get rid of it any more. If I ever get over it, I should write a book! But moslty the book would just be making fun of me and all the things I have tried. Right now I feel like I am just taking a lot of pills! Don't worry I am not popping a bunch of drugs. They are vitamins and non-perscription. I hate swallowing pills, I gag easily! So instead of putting all the pills in my mouth at once, I have to take one at time. It gets annoying.
SO, my blogs are usually random and don't really have a good flow to them :) I mostly write because I like too, so it doesn't matter much to me.
I died my hair! I have always wanted to go really blonde, but instead it went orange!! I swear it was orange! It was crazy!!My sister agreed with me, so I went and put hilights in it to calm down the orange color, I think it looks a lot better.
In these two pictures it actually looks like a cute color, but the lighting in the bathroom and on my camera was not doing it justice, it really did look orange!
The picture below is with the hilights in my hair. I asked the girls who were doing my hair if they would style it, they were excited to do so and this is how it turned out. I was just thinking of them straightening it, but they went all out! It was awesome!!
I was able to babys sit this cute little girl and her cute older sister for an hour or two, It was lots of fun. I wanted to take lots of pictures of her with her cute flower, but.........
All she was interest in was her feet, or maybe it was the flower on her pants she was so interested in!!

The lovely Christmas table before we all sat down to eat.
In November we welcomed this cute little dude into our family, he is my nephew and he is so so adorable (I know, I say that about every baby!)

titles? i really never know what to put as a title for my blog. It is probably best to write the blog and then title it, but by the time I'm done writing my blog post I have usually totally forgotten about the title anywasy.
I really have decided I don't like driving in the salt lake area, especially during ......wow my mind just went blank.....what is it called, oh yeah, rush hour traffic. Coming from a small town I never had to worry about rush hour traffic.
All over salt lake they are doing this new thing where if you want to turn left, you have to get in a special lane way before the actual place you want to turn. It then directs you to the opposite side of oncoming traffic and you end up driving on the left side of the road until you finally are aloud to turn left.....ok I can see where this can speed up the process of moving cars along quicker, but what if you are not from the area? Is this a new thing they are doing all over this country? I hope so, because people coming to visit salt lake area will be confused. I really havent ever travelled much, so maybe everyone else has been doing this sort of thing for a long time.....
Anyways,onto another topic. I just don't know which topic to talk about. I always have great ideas about what I should blog about when I am not anywhere near my computer. I usually remember those ideas when I get to my computer, but then I usually decide that I am too tired to write on my blog.....wow, sometimes my life sounds really lame!!
I have been in this weird phase lately. For the past two and a half years I have been determined to get over this chonic mono, but lately I have....hmmm not given up......I don't know what the right word be at this moment. I have just been living my life as if this is how my life has always been......(just FYI when I have several dots in a row, it means I am thinking and there is a longer pause then just a regular period allows(at least in my mind any ways)) Wow a parantheses inside a parantheses, is that legal? Back to this weird phase, I just don't realy know how to describe it. I just do what I can and leave it at that. I have stopped getting so depressed about the things I can't do or want to do. Is that a good thing??
I would like to do a "what did I do last week". I am very forgetful at times, and sometimes I just can't believe how forgetful I can be :)Silly me. So this last week was eventful. I don't remember what I did Monday (that is why I need to blog more often), on Tuesday I help out with my grandma. I love helping her and she can be quite funny! She is living with my aunt Joan right now and I think she is enjoying it alot. She has four of her grandkids there to always keep her company. She needs to have someone there with her to help her out. She is mostly wheel chair bound. So on Tuesdays I go spend them with grandma while everyone is at work or school. My aunt Joan has this huge dog....ok to me, it is huge, but so adorable. My grandma loves this dog and thinks he is so cute, I agree with her. There are times that he scares the pajeebies out of me. He likes to look through the kitchen door and he will jump up and look in all happy, well I am near the door sometimes and all the sudden he jumps up to look at me and I am staring at this dog eye to eye! He is a goldendoodle....I think. On to Wednesday, I drove down and stayed with RB for the rest of the week and weekend. I went and saw the new twilight movie with RB, my sister and her husband, and a couple of Dalines Friends. It was an interesting show. My final verdict is I liked it, but I think they should have just made one movie. It would probably be a long 2-3 hour movie, but there was a lot of scened that just lingered on to much in my mind.
And now I am becoming tired! so it is time to say so long to the blogging world for now!
Bye

Hello
I am currently watching extreme couponing on TLC. This show always amazes me. It would be awesome to get that good of deals, I just don't want to put in the time. they seriously coupon like it is a full time job.
I have been stressed this week!
la de da, I had so much I wanted to write, but now I can't remember what I wanted to say.
Today I had my brother and his wife and son come visit me today. It was fun to see them.

I am writing from my phone tonight, it is after midnight though so I guess its early morning. I went to Vegas last weekend. We left Thursday and drove there. My husband ran ragnar! It was crazy! He has been planning it or a while. He ran it with his broher and his sister. They had a team of 12 people and ran 188 miles in 36 hours! Talk about craziness!
We went to a movie tonight. Puss in Boots! It was great, it made me smile and laugh! I want the sound track now! It has some music you just want to get up and move too! I love that kind.
My step sisters baby shower was a success! Lots of people came and I ordered a huge subway sandwich! Three foot sub, but it was like ten inches wide! This thing was huge and there were probably twenty people eating it and I still had about a foot left to take home. I bet tu can guess what we ate all weekend! My step sister is having a boy. I am so excited for her.
Last night my younger sister came over with a couple of friends. They were getting ready for a Halloween party and I did there make up! It was fun! I will have to post pictures!

Hi
Hello
It has been a busier week then most for me. I am planning a Baby Shower!!! YAY!!! It is fun, and I have been making invitations and mailing them out. My step sister is having a baby in November. How exciting!
Today I ate a grape popsicle and it was wonderful! The sun was out today for like the first time in four days. I loved it. It was still chilly. I hope this week warms up because I am not ready for winter to come. Come to think of it, I am really never ready for winter to come. I love warm weather! It is wonderful. I often wonder what it would be like to live in a warmer climate where they don't really have a cold winter. I would probably miss it, but it would probably take me a couple of years to really miss it.
Well goodbye

La dee Da!!
Hello Fellow People of the blogger world!
It is sunday and I decided it was time for a blog post, but I just don't feel like I have much to say. Lets se what my life has been doing..........this week I came down and stayed with RB. I have decided I am really really really going to miss living in a house. This aparment feels like the walls are paper thin and I can here everything. It is crazy, I woke up in the middle of the night a couple of nights ago to a baby crying and I swear it was in the next room. I was about to get up and go try and console the baby. It sounded like it had just woke up from a bad dream.
I went to a birthday party on saturday for my brother in law, it was fun to see alot of my family.
My apartment is really empty, maybe that is why it is so noisy.
