my bunko prize the cream stand thing. WHOOHOO! gosh whoever bought this totally thought of me. hmm. somehow i knew i was winning a low prize.

~~

HOLY CRAP! have you read this yet? i'm thinking it's pirated- 1st chapter? HERE
can't wait. for Breaking Dawn!

~~

i have the most painful tip of nose undergrounder ever! seriously what do you do for those?

~~

I cooked dinner . baked potatoes, baked bbq chicken, corn on the cob. homemade rootbeer in floats.

the recipe? take a bunch of frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts or tenders
put them in a pan (i use a pyrex 9x13)
pour bbq sauce of choice over the chicken , and make sure it is all covered.
cover with tinfoil,
bake on 400 for an hour.

at the same time put in foil wrapped potatoes.

and whahlah in an hour your house smells heavenly and you have cooked dinner!

and using the oven in the summer? yea i do it. i was cold today. in the AC that i keep too cold.

~~

i mentioned the Zit? it hurts like the DEVIL! i can feel the whole damn thing in there. and if i push on it, it makes me sneeze, i think i have a tumor . really i'm kidding on the tumor. but it is ODD! and hurts enough i want to cuss. especially when i push on it. and i keep pushing on it so it keeps hurting. do you do that?

~~

we are the ultimate slackers.
i don't check our messages on our house phone. last week. we missed out on cleaning the church building Lance signed us up for. an appointment with our bishop. and scouts today. a cousins missionary letter opening. and that's all. i told lance people that are trying to reach him should just call his cell. and church people call him. unless they specifically want to talk to me. otherwise we don't get the messages.

~~

hmmm,
i hosed kids down out front, in their clothes, for fun. they thought it was spectacular. and plan on it happening again tomorrow.

~~

i mopped 4 times today. umm maintaining sucks! it's an all day project. and not really fun.
and no one would know i did it, because no one was here to witness the mess then the clean up, so no one appreciates the effort. and i mean ALL DAY.

~~

i swear this zit feels like a solid hard ball in the tip of my nose. have you ever tried to flip your nose inside out to see what the hell is going on in there? i'm tempted to try. sadly. still hurts.

~~

i never posted a picture of my plate chalk board i gave to my mother in law for mothers day.

~~

the new sideboard from REAL DEALS! love it! i saw it , wanted it, called Lance and he said i could buy it. so it counts as one of those holidays where i essentially got the shaft . i think he said mothers day. works for me. so totally loving it. i still need to really decorate. I'm thinking mirror, or picture over it. we'll see. and the heart topiary still alive from Valentines day! WHOOHOO! i can usually keep them alive for a year. then they die. rad!

~~

my real life friends, ONEHM and ZB , that are best friends since H.S. - share a photo blog at Hope and Believe - this week they had a challenge to shoot from above. here you go. a short moment this afternoon. and you know i'm no photog since i didn't edit. fresh from the camera.

can you see the story here?

after playing in the hose with mom. in clothes, they came in and stripped. Pierce got down the foil , left on the counter from preparing dinner. and unrolled a large piece. i started to get mad and decided to get the camera, which is generally too much effort for me. i came back with the camera, and they were stomping on it. Pierce got in the pan cupboard, and got out the muffin pan. while Hope danced on the foil!

together they dance.
{ my fave -From above. }

YO!

~~

play dates rock! especially the kind where my kids go to other peoples houses.

~~

did you play along with the giveaway? use the huge blinky button , it will take you there.

i remembered when i have blenvy-
do you want to know when?

• when i read about moms that don't forget to be the tooth fairy.
• when i see pics of skinny moms who are so chic, so thin, and are obviously not poor.
  
• when people post pictures of their fabulously organized/decorated houses
  
• when moms post about how they volunteer at school, are the team mom, and magnify their church callings. and they don't go crazy.
  

all things i am 100% not. should i be inspired to make a change in myself over these things? perhaps, but if i was capable of those things wouldn't i just be those things?

self defeating talk. HEALTHY.

i admit i have blenvy too.

what do you blenvy (blog envy)people?

mothering style from this quiz
as seen on Dandelion wishes
it rings true i think. and makes me want to buy the book. i am a sucker for parenting books.

ENTP-the "independence' mother
(Extraverted, Intuitive, Thinking, Perceiving)

“When I held my babies, I always faced them outward so they could take in the world.”

• Full of energy and confident in her own self-sufficiency and competence, the ENTP mother encourages her children—as a role model and as a teacher—to be independent and confident on their own in the world.
• A “big picture” person, she points out options and possibilities along the way. Objective and logical as well, the ENTP wants her children to evaluate their choices and learn from the consequences of their own decisions.
• The ENTP mother is resourceful and action-oriented. She likes going places and doing things with her children, exploring all that life has to offer. She is less concerned with rules, routines, and schedules. Introducing her children to new concepts and activities, challenging them, and stimulating their intellectual development are top priorities.

hope your Wednesday was spectacular!
(did you make it to the end?)
