Gosh, I love these kids! E was just a brand new little fella and P was holding his hand because he kept starling and twitching.</div>

These boys are the best of friends and love each other so much. Every once in a while, we still catch them holding hands in the car. :-) Melts my heart!</div>

I don't know what is wrong with me! I just wanted to let you know that we are alive and are doing well. J is still working hard and providing for our family. Mr. P graduated from Kindergarten! I can't believe how quickly time is flying! :'-) E will be turning 3 soon. I am keeping busy with family and work. I've gotten a great opportunity to start training to work in the Optical center in the retail store that I work. It is an amazing opportunity and I'm really enjoying it! There is so much to learn!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I received my Swap package from my awesome partner, <a href="http://thedogsaboytoo.blogspot.com/">Leah, at The Dog's a boy, too</a>! I had so much fun shopping for this package. For one, I got to shop for my favorite things and then I got to give it to a new friend! How cool is that! The day before I was to send the package, I wrote to Leah on Facebook. I wanted to just make sure that I didn't send her something that she didn't like. She said she was good for anything and asked me the same question. The only thing I could think that I'd hate to receive was tomatoes. So, this is what I saw first on the package when it arrived! ........................................</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here's the booty that I received! People magazine ...... I love it! That is my favorite celeb magazine! I got some Hot chocolate mix and some chocolate truffles! I also got a little notebook to keep in my purse in case I need to jot down a note. I got a little First Aid kit to keep in my purse too! Perfect! Being a mother of two rough and tough boys, it is amazing that I didn't have that yet! There is a spray antiseptic, hand sanitizer, and first aid kit! :-) My boys knees and elbows thank you! I got some awesome lip balm, a cute magnet for my fridge, and my FAVORITE gum! I LURVE Spearmint!!! I also got a cool scraper for the kitchen. Another great thing that I didn't have yet! Leah sent the boys some Goldfish crackers and some straws that change colors. I might share .... I might not. The coolest gift was a little photo album that she converted into a Garden seed organizer. You could slip your packets of seeds into the photo pages!!! She had it broken down into Vegetables, Herbs, and Flowers!! SO COOL! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I am the least girly person you will meet. This probably isn't the week for me to participate! :-)</span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
<span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; line-height: 25px;">{3} Do you color your hair? do you have a salon do it or do you do it yourself? </span></span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Before this year, I've only ever done blond highlights on occasion. My hairdresser has done them. A few months ago, my friend Collete talked me into dying my hair. Nothing too drastic ... just a little darker brown. I loved it! I plan on doing it again because I just cut my hair and cut off all the color!</span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

It really does do wonders. I should probably do them more often.</span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
<span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; line-height: 25px;">{5} Would you or have you ever done botox?</span></span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">No way and not a chance.

I've seen eyelash </span></span><span style="line-height: 25px;">extensions</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 25px;"> and think they are awesome. I just can't justify the $$$ it costs to then have to redo them in a few months. I see nothing wrong with the anti-aging creams and micro-dermabrasion. If you can afford it and want it, go for it! Same goes for botox, if you want to do it then I have no problem with it. I just can't stomach the thought of putting botulism into my face.</span></span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 25px;"><br />
</span></span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 25px;">As I said above and in my prior posts, I had a mini-makeover.

Holy shnikees! I haven't confessed in a very long time ..... I guess I better get to it!<br />
<br />
I went to school this morning with P. They were hosting a "Mom's and Breakfast" for the students. I was excited because P was so darn excited. :-) According to the email that I received, we were going to get Costco muffins. Mmmmm! When we arrived, instead of muffins, we received a tiny, minuscule granola bar and a small milk. What the eff!!! <b><i>I CONFESS</i></b> that I was <strike>downright angry</strike> just a tad peeved. For one thing, they didn't give what they promised. But mostly, I was upset to see that <i>that </i>was going to be P's breakfast for the day. I sure hope he makes it until lunch.<br />
<br />
<b><i>I CONFESS</i></b> that J and I are going to a church Valentine's party tonight. J is partially in charge of it and hasn't even come up with a game yet. I have a feeling that I will be running the game and have to figure it out on the fly. Why do men always wait until the last moment?<br />
<br />
<b><i>I CONFESS</i></b> that I am going to get my haircut today! :-) I've had the same haircut since my junior year of high school .... that is 15 years folks. I finally decided to change it up. Want to see my inspiration? (Keep in mind that my hair is short and I can only do so much with it.)<br />

</tbody></table><b><i>I CONFESS</i></b> that I also went and got my ears pierced! Holy makeover, Batman! Knowing that I was going to be getting this haircut, I wanted to make sure I didn't lose my femininity. So, I have some nice <strike>diamond</strike> cubic zirconium studs. I am excited for this change! It has been way too long!<br />
<br />
I'll make sure to post pictures after!<br />

J's car battery died and wouldn't jump start. So he had to take my car and I managed to be able to get myself to work and E to daycare. After work, we went and bough a new battery. This evening J gave me flowers, some chocolate, and some bubble bath! :-) I gave J an Ipod Shuffle. He is notorious for breaking things .... he better not break this! My parents brought us some Panda Express for dinner. It was a great night! Oh, and to wrap it up, I went grocery shopping after the kids went to bed.

</span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 25px;"><i>{1} What is for dinner tonight (bonus for sharing the recipe)?</i></b></span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Um. Still trying to decide that one. I'm bad. I am usually trying to figure that out at 5 o'clock. I was thinking of putting some chicken in the crock pot. </span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I put two cans of cream of chicken soup</span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">1 package of cream cheese</span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">1 package of Italian seasoning</span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">4-5 frozen chicken breasts.</span></center><center style="text-align: left;">I let that cook all day and then serve it over rice. Extremely fattening but mighty yummy! </center><center style="text-align: left;"><br />
</center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 25px;"><i>{2} Share something you are currently looking forward to.</i></b></span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Getting our tax returns. Unfortunately, we aren't doing anything too exciting with it but we will be paying off debt and cutting up that darn credit card. </span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
<b style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 25px;"><i>{3} What are your thoughts on re-gifting?</i></b></span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I'll be the first to admit it. I've re-gifted and I honestly don't see anything wrong with it. If you aren't going to use it (and it is a good gift), I don't see why not. When J and I got married, we received duplicates and triplicates of several items. Some we kept, some we returned to the store for cash, and some we re-gifted. Being a young <a href="http://www.mormong.org/">LDS </a>couple, we had several friends getting married over the next few years.</span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
<b style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 25px;"><i>{4} How often do you rearrange your furniture?</i></b></span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Me? Never. I like it where it is. J on the other hand, he'll rearrange once or twice a year. </span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

Last I knew, it was December 15th. I swear I just blinked me eyes and now Christmas is over and it is January. Sorry about that! I took an unexpected hiatus from blogging. I guess I must have needed it.<br />
<br />
We are doing well over here in the Lindicious household. P is back in school, after a long Christmas break, and he is enjoying it. I volunteered in his class yesterday. It was pretty fun to see the kids he associates with. Really, my main goal in volunteering was to actually scope out his girlfriends. Yes, plural. Apparently, he has two that he has his eye on. He is too shy to tell them that they are his girlfriends though. :-) Too cute! I figured out who they were. Can I just say ... my boy has good taste. They were pretty and seemed well behaved. NICE!<br />
<br />
E is doing well. He started speech therapy a few months back and really seems to be improving. He still does a lot of baby talk but he is more able to communicate. With being able to communicate, the amount of tantrums have dropped drastically. Obviously, he still has some ... HECK, HE'S TWO! ... but not nearly as many! It has been awesome! I really like his speech therapist. She is so good with him!<br />
<br />
I've been doing good. I've been going through withdrawals. I used to serve with the Young Women (ages 12-18) in my church. I'd spend time with them on Sundays and again on Tuesday evenings. I was released from that calling in the beginning of December. Talk about hard! I miss those young ladies! Now, I play the piano in primary. (Boys and girls between the ages of 3 and 11) Completely different but I am starting to enjoy it. Kids really do say the darnedest things! :-) I'm still working in my retail job. It's been ok. Lately, I've been off the cash registers and out doing pricing. I really enjoy that ... especially when I get to work with a gal named Brenda. We have so much fun. We talk and I sing along to the music. It's fun!<br />
<br />
J is doing well too. He keeps busy with work and doing little projects around the house. He is currently building a new door for the apartment downstairs. The old one's glass is cracked and it just looks old. I'm excited to see it finished. Little does he know, that when that gets done, I'm going to want a new door for us too! ;-)<br />
<br />
We had family pictures taken back in the beginning of October but just barely got them. I really wanted to share. So here they are:<br />

</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px; text-align: left;">Here are this week's questions from <a href="http://houseofcline.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #38761d;">Queso</span></a>:</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px; text-align: left;"><br />
</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px; text-align: left;"><b><i>1. Are you a party person? Or do you prefer an intimate gathering with just a few friends?</i></b></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">I don't mind a party with a few friends. 10-15 max. More than that and I get shy and have a hard time talking to people. I actually just went to a cookie exchange party last night! Perfect timing for these questions!</span></div><div><div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><i><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px; text-align: left;">2. Would you rather be a guest at a party or the hostess with the mostess?</span></i></b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">I totally want to be the guest. I don't like being the hostess. It is too stressful for me. I have panic attacks even thinking about hosting parties. Unfortunately, we are having a party at our house tomorrow. It is a family thing and I don't even have to be in charge. I just have to provide the place. I am still freaking out.</span></div><div><div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px; text-align: left;"><b><i>3. What is your favorite party food or drink? (I'd love to see the recipe!)</i></b></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">I'm a lover of a good shrimp cocktail. I don't drink alcohol so I like to have Diet Dr. Pepper or whatever </span>caffeinated beverage they may have! For my cookie exchange that I went to yesterday, I brought pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. It is the easiest recipe I have EVER seen .... other than buying a box of cookies at the store.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies</div><div>1 box of Spiced Cake mix</div><div>1 can (15 oz) pumpkin</div><div>1 cup of chocolate chips (or more) </div><div><br />
</div><div>Mix ingredients together. Use an ice cream scoop to scoop onto a greased cookie sheet.</div><div>Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Seriously. Easy as that and SOOOOOO good!</div><div><div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px; text-align: left;"><b><i>4. What is the best party you've ever been to?</i></b></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">The first party that came to mind was one when I was young and single. I hung out with a large group of kids from my single's ward at church. We played a ton of games in the back yard and then all crammed into their living room and watched <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0250687/"><span style="color: #38761d;">Rat Race</span></a>. Only one or two people had seen it before, so we were pretty much watching it for the first time. I have never laughed so hard in my life! Love that movie! That was seriously one of the best summers of my single life! We did stuff every night of the week. How I managed to go to summer school full-time, work full-time, and party full-time, I will never know. :-)</span></div><div><div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br />
</div><b><i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px; text-align: left;">5. What is your favorite party game?</span></span> </i></b></div><div>I get a kick out of the game, I Never. The group sits in a circle with one less chair than people. The person in the middle shares something that they have never done. (Like, I have never gone deep sea fishing or I have never been to England.) If anyone in the circle has done it, then they have to get up and switch seats. The person that was "it" can run and grab a chair. Whoever is left standing has to say the next I Never statement. It is pretty funny!</div><div>We played it at a ward party once. A guy said that he had never made-out with a man. Our bishop thought that he said, never made-out in a van. So the bishop got up and started running. We all nearly died laughing. He still hasn't lived it down! :-)</div><div><br />

</span></div><div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Here are this week's questions:</span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><b><i>1. What is your favorite cookie to eat?</i></b></span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">That is tough. I actually have two. My mom and I make a really good No-Bake Cookie. I really love those. My mom makes a really good Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie. Sometimes she puts banana's in them too. They are yummy!</span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><b><i><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px; text-align: left;"></span></i></b></span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><b><i>2. Have you ever done a cookie exchange?</i></b></span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I went to one last December. It was pretty fun. It ended up just being a Girl's Night Out and munching on goodies. That was fun!</span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><b><i><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px; text-align: left;"></span></i></b></span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><b><i>3. How are you doing on your holiday shopping?</i></b></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><b><i><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px; text-align: left;"></span></i></b></span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Um .... haven't even started. :-/ Actually, that isn't true. We got our family pictures taken and ordered so I guess I've done a little bit.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px; text-align: left;"><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">4. What is your holiday shopping style? (A little at a time, or power shopper? Early in the season or last </span>minute? Online or part of the crowd?)</i></b></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px; text-align: left;">I'm a little bit of everything. I start to freak out in the beginning of December and start to do my shopping. I do some online and some in the stores. I've never shopped on a Black Friday or anything like that. I don't do crowds because I get scared and claustrophobic.</div><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span><br />
<div><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px; text-align: left;"><br />
</span></span></span></div><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">And a random seasonal 3 part question...<br />
</span></span></div><div><b><i><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">5. Light displays...do you put them on your house? What is your style and your fave kind to see? </span></span></i></b></div><div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 22px;">We're lazy and don't put lights up on the house. I am proud to say that I got my Christmas decor and tree up on December 1st. <i>That </i>is a record for me. I've never gotten it up that early!</span></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 22px;">As for my "type" of lights that I like? I don't know. I posted a video on Facebook of a house down our street. They are awesome! My boys love to drive by and look at their lights.

I'M HAPPY that I got to go to P's very first Christmas program at school. He looked so cute up there singing. The gym was jam-packed full of parents. I could tell he was looking for me and my parents but he never could find us in the sea of faces.<br />
<br />
I'M HAPPY that I got to see him in his class afterwards. I wanted him to know that I was there supporting him. :-) His face showed me how happy he was. Love that boy!<br />
<br />
I'M even more HAPPY that the Kindergarteners got to go first on the program. I totally skipped out on the rest.<br />
<br />
I'M HAPPY to have a warm home to live in. The temperatures have been frigid that last few days. I am grateful to have a place to be and that I'm able to keep my family safe and warm.<br />
<br />
I'M HAPPY to have wonderful friends. I don't even get to see many of them in person. I am grateful for Facebook and blogs. It has helped me keep my connections with friends. It really has been a blessing.<br />
<br />
Now switching notes<br />
<br />
I'M HAPPY to know that I have a Heavenly Father who loves me.<br />
<br />
Some really bad stuff happens in this world but he loves us regardless. A friend of mine and his family have gone through so much heartache and trials this past year. I know, without a shadow of a doubt, that God still loves him and his family. Despite the trials that we may have, I know that we are not alone. I am grateful and comforted by the knowledge. I am grateful for my <a href="http://mormon.org/faith/">religion</a> that has brought me so much peace and reassurance.<br />

</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 25px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;"></span></span></span><br />
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', serif;"><b>{1} What game show have you always thought you could be on and totally WIN!</b></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', serif;">I always wanted to do Double Dare on Nickelodeon as a kid. Do you remember that show? The kids would compete with parents and answer questions. Then they had to go through obstacle courses and get slimed and stuff. That is honestly what came to mind first.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', serif;"><br />
</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', serif;"><b>{2} Do you have a tattoo(s)? What are they and what made you chose them? If not, would you get one, yes/no/why?</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 25px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;">Nope, I don't have any tattoos. I won't ever get a tattoo because I really have no desire to go through that pain. Also, I'm afraid I would hate it in a year or two. Plus, once you get old and saggy, it won't look the same!</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 25px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;"><br />
<b>{3} What is your favorite piece of jewelry that you own?</b></span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 25px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;">I honestly don't own much jewelry. I'm pretty much a tomboy and don't wear any. The only thing I do wear is my wedding ring. I got to help pick it when J and I got engaged. I love it!</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 25px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;"><br />
<b>{4} What is your driving pet peeve(s)?</b></span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 25px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;">What ISN"T my driving pet peeve? LOL! I get annoyed at most anything. If a person sits at a light while it turns green, I get grumpy. If someone drives too slow, I get grumpy. If someone drives too fast for snowy/rainy conditions, I get grumpy. If someone doesn't use their turn signal, I get grumpy. I really could go on and on! </span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 25px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;"><br />
<b>{5} What was your favorite sitcom growing up that you wish was still on?</b></span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25px;">This is hard. I really liked a lot of shows. The first one that popped into my mind was Growing Pains. I loved to watch that show. It used to be on when I was at school. I remember seeing once when I home from school with the flu or something. I managed to be "sick" quite a bit before my mom caught on. Oops!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', serif; line-height: 25px;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I've only had 3 jobs in my lifetime. I worked for my dad for 11 years. The other two have been retail. I'd say the retail sucks. I'd really like to get out of it. I really enjoy getting to interact with people but working on holidays bites. (Hence the absence from my blog in the past w</span>eek and a half.)</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Nope. I've been laid-off though. That stinks.</span></span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Figure out how to be a stay-at-home mom, bring in some income, and still remain a sane, calm mother. Yeah, I don't know if that is possible. I do enjoy the small break from the children when I go to work. I like to think it keeps me nicer.</span><br />

What did you want to be when you "grew up"?</span></i></b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">My first aspirations, as a very young child, was to be a waitress. I went to breakfast with my Grandma and Great Grandma every Saturday. We always had the nicest waitresses. That was my first big dream. :-) I wanted to be a "doctor who delivered babies." As soon as I found out how much school that entailed, I quickly kicked that idea to the curb. I had a short-lived dream of becoming a track-and-field star. Um, yeah. I'm about as fast as a turtle and have asthma. My track career came to a </span>screeching<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> halt after junior high. All through high school and entering into college, I thought I'd go into television production. I actually started the program in college but realized that I wanted a family and family life more. So, I honestly don't know what I want to be when I grow up.</span><br />

How old were you when you got your first job?</i></b></span><br />
<br />
I got my first job with my dad when I was 16. He was a real estate appraiser and I became his assistant. I input data in the computer, researched information at the court house, compiled the reports, delivered the reports, took pictures, ran errands, etc. I was a busy girl. I'm glad he hired me though. It was a great learning opportunity and helped me grow closer to my dad! :-)<br />
<br />
Hope you all have a fantabulous week!<br />

<br />
<br />
I CONFESS that I participated in the Breaking Dawn craziness last night. I wasn't crazy enough to stand outside in the rain for 4 hours though. We went to dinner, grabbed some snacks, and sat in the car until they actually started to let people in the building.<br />
<br />
I CONFESS that we got terrific seats and only had to stand in the rain for 10 minutes. :-) Not bad if you ask me!<br />
<br />
I CONFESS that I had never read any of the Twilight books or watched the movies until two weeks ago. So it was a mad dash to read all the books and watch the movies in time for last night.<br />
<br />
I CONFESS that I honestly finished the book 2 minutes before the lights dimmed in the theater. I was reading like a mad woman! ;-)<br />
<br />
I CONFESS that I enjoyed the movie quite a bit.<br />
<br />
I <b><i>REALLY </i></b>CONFESS that with all that said and done, I'm still a Pot-Head (Harry Potter you sillies, I don't smoke that stuff!) at heart. I like Twilight and all but my heart belongs to Harry! :-)<br />
<br />
I CONFESS that I am quite tired today and my 2-year-old may or may not have watched the movie Bolt more than once today. I'm not in the mood to entertain. The TV can handle it until brother gets home from school. ;-)<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">1. I am grateful that E is communicating more. He is just like his big brother. They have taken their time to communicate and require(d) the help of speech therapy. P doesn't have to go anymore! YAY! E is growing in leaps and bounds since he started speech therapy. :-)</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">2. I am grateful for my health. Yeah, I've had the flu and a cold now and then. However, I truly have been blessed. So has my family for that matter!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">3. I am grateful for the jobs that J and I have. They not be very glamorous or pay very good but they are jobs. I am grateful for that in this economic time that we live in.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;" /><strong style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">Three things “I’d rather not”:</strong></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">1. I'd rather not play the Wii with P. The stinker is a very poor loser. Unfortunately, he inherited that from me. I'm a little bit better about controlling my emotions than he is ... though it has taken years of practice. ;-)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">2. I'd rather not die in pain. I know it is kind of weird to be thinking about that now but I've always been fearful of having to die in pain. I hope I go in my sleep.</span><br />
<br />
3. I'd rather not touch/see/think about snakes. They creep me out. Actually, I really do have a self-diagnosed phobia of them. It's not pretty. J used to think it was funny to tease me about them until he realized just how paralyzed with fear I would get. Even now, just typing about snakes, I'm looking over my shoulder to make sure one isn't going to attack me. How silly is that?! I know there isn't a snake in my house but the fear gets so bad that I can't help but look and be scared.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;">Three Thanksgiving plans, traditions, or memories:</strong><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;">1. Most likely, I will be working on Thanksgiving Day. LAME! This is the season that really makes he hate working in retail. I will get to go to J's families dinner but will have to rush back. The store, that I work at, is opening at midnight for Black Friday. I'll be there till 10AM. Should be interesting!</span><br />
<br />
2. We used to always go to my Granny's house for dinner. I remember that she had this huge turkey. She had defrosted it but didn't have room for it in her fridge. She decided to keep it out in her garage to keep it cool. She didn't realize that it got below freezing that night and froze the turkey inside. She cooked it and it looked gorgeous. We didn't realize it was still raw in the middle until my dad started to carve it. Let's just say, we had to starve for another hour before we could eat! She can laugh about it now.<br />
<br />
3. My Great Great Uncle Bill used to bring a bottle of wine to our Thanksgiving feasts at Granny's house. I could never understand why because nobody drank it. I think, after several years, he finally figured it out and started bringing soda instead. It makes me chuckle to think about it. He was such a sweet man. He lived to be 100-years-old.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;">Three sneaky things I do:</strong><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;">1. Every once in a while, if I get off from work early in the afternoon, I'll sneak home and take a nap before I go pick up the kids at daycare. I've only done it a couple of times but I sure did enjoy my nice, silent home. </span><br />
<br />
2. I like to go and get a fountain drink at the gas station down the block from us. I try to keep it hidden from the kiddos because, if I don't, they drink it all!<br />
<br />
3. They way I get J to do things sometimes is sneaky. He knows that I want something when I put my hands under my chin and smile and bat my eyelashes at him. A lot of the time, when I do that, he just goes to the freezer and starts scooping me some ice cream because he know's I'll beg him to do it anyway. :-)<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;">Three things that I missed the boat on:</strong><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">1. Twilight. I </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">purposefully missed the boat. I didn't want anything to do with it. I didn't read the books and I never saw the movies .... until 13 days ago. My friend finally talked me into reading them and now I can't put them down. I'm taking a blogging break now from reading the last book. I'm going to the midnight premier of Breaking Dawn tonight!</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">2. <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=planking&hl=en&biw=1024&bih=653&prmd=imvns&source=lnms&tbm=isch&ei=BJLFToi7NYapiALK68j0BQ&sa=X&oi=mode_link&ct=mode&cd=2&sqi=2&ved=0CBEQ_AUoAQ">Planking</a>. I never realized what planking was or why people did such things until it wasn't cool anymore. Not that I could plank anyway. I think I'd break my neck trying. </span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">3. Glee. It sounded dorky to me at the time. I finally started watching a couple episodes on Netflix and realized .... HOLY CRAP! I love Glee!! I can't wait until they add more episodes!</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<strong style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;">Three pictures:</strong><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">I want to share three pictures of my favorite men! :-) I am so blessed!</span><br />

I told her I had never read the Twilight series or seen the movies and didn't plan on it. She was<strike> horrified</strike> <strike>shocked</strike> surprised. (I didn't want to get sucked into the Twi-hard craziness.) She begged me to read at least two chapters. I finally gave in to her request. A day later I was at her doorstep requesting book 2. She basked in her victory and gave me the rest of the books. So, for the past 12 days, I've been reading when I haven't been working or wrangling children. I've also watched all three movies with her in preparation for tomorrow night! :-) I'm 1/3 of the way through Breaking Dawn. Hopefully, I can finish before the movie. I know it is only the first half of the movie but I don't want anybody spoiling the ending for me while I'm there. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Ok, long rant over. Now on to the questions!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 25px;">This week's questions come from the awesome Queso and she wants to know...</span><br style="line-height: 25px; text-align: left;" /><br style="line-height: 25px; text-align: left;" /><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 25px; text-align: left;"><i>{1} Do you have any musical talents?</i></span></b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I play the piano. I took piano lessons for 12 years. I haven't kept on it like I should but I intend to start practicing again. I still play the piano nearly every Sunday at church. I'd like to start playing classical music again. It is my favorite. :-)</span><br />

</div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 25px; text-align: left;">{2} What role, if any, does music play in your life?</span></i></b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Music plays a big role. Music can bring all sorts of emotions and I definitely let it. When I want angry/hard stuff I love to listen to Linkin Park's <a href="https://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=hybrid+theory&tbs=itm_s:1,itm_c:linkin+park+albums&tbo=u&sa=X&ei=mdTDTsL6Kufq2QW6oZzNDw&ved=0CIgBEKAOMA8&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.,cf.osb&fp=3c9c3fcbb39d73f5&biw=1024&bih=653">Hybrid Theory</a> album. When I'm in a lovey dovey, sappy mood I like to listen to Christina Perri. Let's not even get me started on the Dixie Chicks <a href="https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&biw=1024&bih=653&q=dixie+chicks+taking+the+long+way+album&fiu=1&sa=X&ei=MNXDTputAqSW2AXBlo3vCw&sqi=2&ved=0CIoBEMQNMAo">Taking The Long Way</a> album. :-) LOVE!</span><br />
<br />

</div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 25px; text-align: left;">{3} What is your all time favorite song?</span></i></b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">The first song that comes to mind is <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&sqi=2&ved=0CDIQtwIwAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DZGoWtY_h4xo&ei=btXDTvWkPKW22gWs0KDGCw&usg=AFQjCNHFF-Efh0jx3uba9YB_b0sbccFdtA&sig2=4gQuo_8IbpTfYqhoBVRfww">(Everything I Do) I Do It For You</a> by Bryan Adams. I remember camping out by my radio waiting for it to play. I loved it.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> <br style="line-height: 25px; text-align: left;" /><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 25px; text-align: left;">{4} Do you sing in the shower?</span></i></b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Surprisingly, no. I sing everywhere else but not the shower. I have been known to serenade my coworkers. ;-)</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br />
</div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 25px; text-align: left;"><b><i>{5} Has a song ever made you cry?</i></b></span></span><br />
Several songs have made me cry but the one that comes to mind is the <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0122459/soundtrack">Return To Me soundtrack</a>. Not so much the Dean Martin stuff but there are a couple instrumental tracks that are just gorgeous.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><strong style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">Three long lost hobbies:</strong></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">1. Playing basketball. I wasn't very good when it came to playing in an actual game and playing under pressure. When I was just in my driveway, I was an awesome shot! :-)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">2. I haven't been reading as much as I would like. Kids and work take up a lot of my time.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">3. Sewing -- cross-stiching to be specific. I haven't done that in a <i>LONG </i>time.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;" /><strong style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">Three jobs/careers I have had:</strong></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">1. Real Estate Appraiser's Assistant. I worked with my dad for 11 years before he retired. I really enjoyed it because he worked around my school schedule through high school and college. He even let me bring P to work when he was a baby. I had to stop bringing him once he could crawl and started pushing the computer buttons. :-)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">2. Sales Associate at Hallmark. I really liked that job. The girls I worked with were awesome and the employee discount was sweet!</span><br />
3. I'm currently employed at Shopko. I've been there for 2 1/2 years. I did a Christmas seasonal stretch back in 2008 when I was pregnant with E too.<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;" /><strong style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">Three childhood dreams that came true:</strong><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;" />1. I became a mom!!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">2. Live near my parents. :-) I never wanted to leave. I love 'em too much! We are within 5 minutes.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">3. I met and married an awesome man who treats me with respect and who is pretty darn HOT! <br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;" /><strong style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">Three childhood dreams that didn’t come true:</strong></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">1. I didn't become an obstetrician. I wanted to be the person that delivered babies. Once I learned how many years of school it took to become one, I quickly nixed that. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">2. To act in movies and become famous. I always thought that would be great but now I'm not so sure. The press and paparazzi look pretty scary.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">3. I wanted to be an amazing track and field star. My dreams were crushed when I ran track in junior high. I couldn't run the mile without having a major asthma attack. I also sprinted about as fast as a turtle. Yep, a track and field star just wasn't in the cards.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white;" /><strong style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">Three toys I asked for Christmas when I was a kid:</strong></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I really can't remember so I'll say 3 things that I remember receiving.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">1. I remember being so excited for this doll that I received. My parents were still asleep and I was "quietly" trying to get it out of the box. I made such a loud racket that it woke them up.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">2. I remember getting a really sweet, huge stereo when I was in my early teens. It was cool!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">3. I remember getting a box with supposedly a million dollars shredded inside it. I was so little that I didn't realize that it was a gag gift. I thought it was the coolest thing ever. ;-)<br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;" /><strong style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">Three pictures:</strong></span><br />

She has a little guy with the same name as E. :-) So E and E were holding hands.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 25px;">This week's questions are from Mamarazzi. A heads up, I'm not very girly especially in the makeup and hair department.</span><br style="line-height: 25px; text-align: left;" /><br style="line-height: 25px; text-align: left;" /><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 25px; text-align: left;">{1} What is your "can't go without it" beauty product/cosmetic?</span></i></b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">The only thing I can't go without is hairspray. I usually wear at least eye shadow and mascara but some days I will go without, if I don't have time.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br />
</div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 25px; text-align: left;"><i>{2} Do you apply make-up before or after doing your hair?</i></span></b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">That would totally depend on if the two-year-old has woken up or not. He is still sleeping in a crib and doesn't like hanging out in there if he's awake. So, if he is still sleeping, I'll take the time to do my make-up first. If he's screaming like a </span>banshee, then I'll rush my hair, get him, and do my make-up while he eats breakfast.<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><br />
<b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 25px;">{3} How would you describe your personal style?</span></i></b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 25px;">Extremely laid back and, dare I say, lazy? I'm a t-shirt and jeans type of girl. The only time I dress up is for church or the very rare nice event. We don't have many black-tie events here in Eastern Idaho. :-)</span></div><div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 25px;"><br />
</span></div><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 25px; text-align: left;">{4} How long does it take you to get ready each day?</span></i></b><br />
Not long at all. That is probably why I still rock the short hair. It seriously takes me 5 minutes, if that, to do my hair. My husband asks me to grow my hair out but I'm totally resisting. It is too easy to do! I don't want to spend 30-60 minutes getting ready.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br />
</div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 25px; text-align: left;"><b><i>{5} What is your one pamper, just for you, beauty splurge?</i></b></span><br />
I have really sensitive skin and not a very good complexion so I splurge on a face wash. It doesn't have to be a specific brand but it has to be soap-free AND oil-free. I spend more than I like on it but it really helps my complexion out.<br />

I'M HAPPY to have a day off of work today! Yay! I'm totally gonna snuggle up and read .... as much as my two-year-old will allow. ;-)<br />
<br />
I'M HAPPY for this time of year. Several friends on Facebook are doing 30 Days of Thanks. It helps me to remain positive and ponder about what I am grateful for!<br />
<br />
I'M HAPPY to have such a forgiving child. We went to a friends house yesterday. I hung up my coat and purse on her coat rack. I didn't realize that everything was on one side. As I stepped away, it fell over fast and hard ... hitting P square in the forehead. :'-( Poor guy. He has a huge goose egg on his noggin'. He cried for quite a bit but managed to forgive me. I know it wasn't my fault and it was just an accident but I hate when my kids get hurt!<br />
<br />
I'M HAPPY for the movie <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0397892/">Bolt</a>. Little man, E, loves puppies and doggies. He gets so excited to watch it. As a matter of fact, he is watching it now so that I can have some bloggy time!<br />
<br />
I'M HAPPY that my sweet sister-in-law and her hubby invited us over for dinner on Sunday. I am notorious for being a picky eater. I have grown in leaps and bounds as a married adult though. I am much more willing to try things. Anyway, she was nervous that I wouldn't like the food. Her hubby's ancestry is from Germany. They traveled to Eastern Europe last Christmas and picked up some Hungarian Paprika. Anyway, she made a heavenly Chicken Paprikash and homemade spaetzle! It was awesome!<br />
<br />
I'M HAPPY for the opportunity to think about what makes me happy! Thanks Mamarazzi for hosting such an awesome meme!<br />
