Clean Room and a Freash Start

I have made a new goal for the year 2008. Since I have moved into my new condo I decided to become organized and keep my room clean. Some might say that in the past I have been a little on the disorganized, cluttered, and messy side. I have so far made it 9 days without leaving clothes or papers out of place. The room is not perfect (it is kinda small) but with Megan's help everything has a home (aren't you proud of me Ann). But seriously, it feels really nice to have a clean room and to start learning a new habbit of cleaning up as I go so I don't ever let my messes get out of hand. I hopefully have turned over a new leaf and will be known as "the tidy one" from now on!

YOU CAN SEE THE FLOOR!

Merry Christmas!

So Meg, Ann and I got a little silly this year (seeing as it was just the girls at home. Sorry, Daddy.) and we decided to get matching pajamas. We look, oh so, cute in our new jammies, but it did take a while to agree on what jammies to get. Meg didn't want a coller and I didn't want buttons. Ann had to have long sleves and I couldn't have rough fabric (ok so I might have been a bit more picky then the other two). In the end we found comfortable pajamas and we has tons of fun spending Christmas together.

This year we also attacked the wonderful world of gingerbread! Our task was to make a library that at least resembled a library. I think we did it. We might have made Mom a little crazy with the mess, but the good news is that we are now old enough to clean it up.

Well, I have had a great holiday and hope you enjoyed your's as well.

I've been tagged

OK, so Melissa tagged me but I only know Sarah and Melissa as bloggers and they have both been tagged so I will just do the 7 interesting facts and sort of forget about the tagging part (sorry).

1. I can cross my eyes in three different ways. I can have one crossed and one straight, one crossed and the other move in a circle, and I can have them switch back and forth. My friends say that it is a little freaky.

2. I have an unhealthy addiction to Mike and Ikes!

3. I have written in my journal everyday for at least the last 10 years of my life. Don't worry there isn't anything of great value in there (except to me).

4. I would sing and listen to show tunes all day long if I could and I sort of wish my life was a musical (I kind of make it one anyway).

5. I am watching "Mary Poppins" this second as I type.

6. My favorite book to read over and over again is a book written by Mary Stewart called "This Rough Magic". I would recommend most of her books.

7. One of my favorite pairs of shoes to wear are my red sparkly flats that are reminiscent of the Ruby Red Slippers from "The Wizard of Oz".

Well, there are just a few things about me. I hope you feel a little more informed about me. Thanks for reading.

Homeless in Utah!

I am only having slight panic attacks lately because I don't have a new place to live and the move out date is fast approaching. My roommate who owns the condo sold it and I have to be out but Jan. 5th and so far I am at a loss of where to go. I have been making phone calls and looking, but nothing has gelled yet. I hope it all works out.

Bakin' up a storm!

I am so EXCITED! I finally bought myself a baking stone and it even came with a pizza peel. I used a gift card I got almost last year (thanks Ann) and it only cost me 98 cents. I can't wait to try it out. I think I am going to try foccacia bread. I will let you know how the stone works out.

What a beautiful day!

Saturday was so beautiful Meg and I couldn't possibly stay inside. We decided to take the munchkins to the park for about an hour (hoping that it might give Ken and Sarah some well deserved time) and we all had a blast together. We even had a "picnic" on the grass (ok so it consisted of juice and crackers, but the kids loved it anyway). After we dropped the kids off, Meg and I continued our day outdoors by walking in Rock Canyon for a little over an hour (we needed to get home before it got dark). It was cool and the light was at just the right angle for some really nice pictures (with the 35mm not the digital). I can't wait to see them developed. Anyway it was a nice day and I was happy to spend it with my favorite little sister.

Memories!

Ok so I was looking for videos for my class and I came across one that I haven't seen in years. It always makes me laugh and I thought that I would share it with you. I originally found this on YouTube so I am not too sure how to credit it otherwise.
