Things I WOULD Like IF

Yesterday's post was such a HIT, I thought I would do another, with a twist.

Here are a few things I would really like about my house IF......

Here is the desk in the kitchen.

It has been cleaned off often. Every time I cleaned it, it would be piled up again, so I quit cleaning it.

I would love it, IF it was clean!

Zak's dresser.

Who wouldn't love a clothes dresser!

But this one is always broken! Therefore, he cannot put his stuff in it. And wouldn't it be nice if his dresser had room to go in his bedroom?

What a novelty.

During the summer, I call the pool "Hotel California". It is like my resort. Very enjoyable. I don't like it when it is green!

Yuck!

Here is the front porch, which I adore, and I really like getting the mail...all except for the swarm of bees out there!

You can't see them in this picture, but believe me, they are there.

Look below.

These are just the dead ones. There are this many still flying around the mailbox, and the light. Very weird.

One thing I wouldn't change is the palpable love you can feel at home.

(I know, corny).

I Spy!

Not that anyone really cares, but I think it is funny....

This is the Foothills Middle School teacher going into McDonald's for lunch.

I should be a reporter.

On The Spot Reporter!

I learned today (from the mother of the bride), that

Jonelle Magnusson is engaged!

She is getting married in the Rexburg ID temple on December 27th!

Congratulations Jonelle!

10 Things I Like About My House

I saw an "assignment" on another blog:



It was to make a post about 10 things you like about your house. I thought it interesting, then I clicked on some of the posts, then I thought of my own 10 things, so I thought I would DO my own post. Here goes! My items are in NO particular order:

#1 My Crutches

After having them under my arms for 7 weeks, it is very nice to see them leaning against the door!

#2 The Phone

If I can't move around very well, I can certainly use the phone to stay in contact!

#3 My Large, (if messy) table

I love that it is big enough to seat my whole family of 9!

(Don't judge, I am not really in control of things around the house right now.)

#4 The Rolling Office Chair in the Kitchen

It is a fabulous way to move around without standing on my broken leg!

#5 Fans!

It has been SO hot, I love being able to turn the fan on me and cool off!

#6 The Cast Shoe

This helps A LOT in being able to walk around while still in a cast.

I have found it is a great blessing to be able to walk and carry something!

#7 Couch Pillows

When my leg is bothering me, I know I can always lay down, put my leg up and in a while my leg will feel better. The pillows are great.

#8 T.V.

Ok, I enjoy the T.V.! I like Regis and Kelly.

#9 The Laptop Computer

It was been a lifesaver. I very much enjoy looking at all my blogs, searching the web for more. I can write letters to my missionary son, and send IM's to my college boys. There's lots to do.

#10 My Family

Ok, THIS is my favorite thing in the house!

What I Saw at the Grocery Store

First, right when I walked in, there were two boys/men (about CJ & ST's age) playing bloody knuckles! It went on for quite awhile. Kind of shocking bag-boy behaviour.



Then, I saw a man, who, apparently wanted to be taller (he was short), he was wearing high heal shoes! Like these, only a lovely chocolate brown. He had his pant legs lengthened so his shoes would not be so noticed, but I noticed. He should embrace his shorter stature! I would not have noticed him without the shoes.

Missionary News

I know we have many readers that are not family, which is great, I hope you enjoy your time here. If you know Chase, or would like some interesting news of Hurricane Ike in Houston, go to Chase's mission site!

He wrote a long e-mail all about Ike, how it was, what he is doing, the area he has been assigned. You'll enjoy it!

Sunday

We went to church. It was Stake Conference.
Dad made hamburgers and hot dogs for lunch. Quinn did wonder if hot dogs had a little bit of real dog in them.
I made Rice Krispy treats.
I wrote to Chase.
Missionaries came over.
Watched a bit of football.
Zak attempted a bit of homework.
I hobbled around the house without crutches!
I also enjoyed my favorite past time of looking at blogs, some people I know, some I don't. While looking at blogs of people I don't know, I found a VERY funny place that sells LDS note cards. Very funny. Lineuponlinecards.com
We had waffles and eggs for dinner.

Seriously

Are these your shorts?

Size 30

Found in the living room by the front table where CJ & ST's computer were.

I expect an answer from EVERYONE!

Cast Boot

This is how I can walk on my cast. It still hurts. I think it is a bit better than yesterday.

Pictures - Sleepy, Usual, TMI

Dad took a few pictures 2 nights ago - -

Kitty, sleeping it off Recouperating from getting a new cast, which is always painful.

But this is how you could fine me 60% of the day.

That red lunch box is my medicine box. I don't go far without it.

I think Quinn took this of the bottom of my foot. It is kind of gross.
