What to blog about...

I stole this idea from my friend Sharon.  It's a little journal entry idea, but on your blog for all to read.  Here it goes.

Outside my window.... it's dark out I'm sure since it's almost midnight, but I can't see because my blinds are shut.

I am thinking about.... what I am going to do tomorrow and going to bed soon.

I am thankful.... for my electric heating pad.  It's not even cold here, but I like to put it on my back at the end of the day.

From the kitchen.... I have yummy chicken alfredo pasta with artichoke hearts and raosted garlic cloves in the fridge and Jo-Jo's in the cupboard.  Thank you Missy for getting me addicted to those years ago.

I am wearing.... an oversized red Snowbird long sleeve shirt and flannel pajama pants with little skiers on them (they are Zac's, I stole them).  

I am going.... to probably Walmart tomorrow for some random things like an ink cartridge and body wash-maybe I'll see you there Sharon.

I am hoping.... I sleep well tonight.  Lately I've been getting up like five times during the night to pee.  What's my deal, I don't know.

I am hearing.... a BYU devotional talk on KBYU, notice the word hearing, not listening to.  I am kind of tuning it out, but it's more uplifting than the news.

Around the house.... there is a blanket draped over one end of the couch and Zac's jeans and sweatshirt on the other end.  There is an empty Easter candy bowl on the coffee table that was once filled with Peanut Butter M&M's-one of my fav's.

One of my favorite things.... my ice cream cone I eat every night before bed.

A few plans for this week.... get through another week of work and then fly to California to babysit Carli and Justin-yeah!!

Not too exciting here, but I figured, hey, it's an update right?

Sweet dreams!

Valentine's Day Recap

These are the amazing cupcakes Zac was so kind to buy me for Valnetine's Day.  He knows how much I love this kind of icing- wait no, i really don't like this kind of icing.  He said it was all they had in the Valentine's tent outside of Frys grocery store.  How t sweet eh?  
Luckily he had these beautiful white roses to go along with them.  
Here are some peanut butter heart cookies I made for our Valentine's Day party we went to.
Pardon the photography, clearly I have no idea what I am doing when it comes to taking pictures.  I also made these little brownie bites, thought they ended up looking a lot like the store bought ones from Costco.
Here are all the wives that were at the party.  The men were grilling chicken and relaxing on the couch.  Sorry no pictures of them.  We played a couple of really fun games and ate yummy food.  The guys really lucked out this year because we had the party on Valentine's day night.
Here is Zac in his new camping chair.  This is what he came home with the other day.  He used his birthday money for it and was beyond excited about it.  He watches t.v. in it, studies in it and even sleeps in it apparently.  Who knew such a simple chair could bring a young man so much joy.
Zac and I celebrated Vday on our own on Friday night.  We went out to dinner and then saw "He's Just NOT That Into You."  We both liked it.  It was different than what we expected, but it was pretty cute.  Overall we had a great weekend.

Tatiana...Are you kidding me??

AAAHHHH! is anyone else as bugged as I am about the fact that Tati-what's her name is still in American Idol? How could that cute homeless girl go home last night but not Tatiana? I don't get it. America had better vote her off asap. I know I will be. So far I have liked the modifications they have made this year with less audition weeks, and less crazies. I think they've filtered out a lot of the fluff. I also really like Kara, the new judge. Paula needs to go though, she is pretty much useless. I like seeing her hair done differently every night though. I'd love to hear anyone's thoughts or opinions about this season's Idol.

Rock Climbing 101

For Zac's birthday we celebrated by going to BJ's-one of our latest favorite restaurants- and then off for some rock climbing.  Not a great idea to eat a huge meal and then put a tight harness on.  We had a lot of fun.  If we had the money we would have a membership, but....we don't.  
Here I am not making too much progress yet.  
Please ignore the extremely sweaty pits of mine.  I guess I shouldn't wear a colored shirt to rock climb next time.  After about an hour and half we were both beat.  Our forearms wanted to be done.  We hit up 7-11 for some slurpees and caught a movie on the couch.  I love his birthday because he always uses his money on something fun and it always includes me.  I feel like it's my birthday too almost.  

If you're wondering why I am just posting about his birthday that was almost 3 weeks ago it's because I finally took my laptop over to my friends and am now using her wireless connection.  What an inconvenience, I know.  That's another thing Zac and I will one day purchase right after we can afford a rock gym membership, the internet.
