I have writer's block bad this week... so here you go... This is what you get when I'm in a funk 

There is a War in my Brain

Alright Yall Im gonna get serious for a minuet here... hate to do it to you but it needs to be done!  I spend way too much time on Pinterest... Like for real I am addicted and usually I am finding things like this...

 Or this 

Some times even this 

BUT 4 nights ago I read this article  and it hasn't left my mind. Every now and then I use Pinterest for good. It talks about how today Satan's war is in our brains. We I constantly need stimulation and it has become a habit to just pick up the phone and get online. So much so that it is craved and almost needed. Our favorite blogs, websites, social media take up so much space in our brains daily that more important things loose their place. it is MY job to make my brain crave more spiritual and deep thoughts. To make an effort to study Gods words and ponder their meaning in my life. If I do not take the time to do this now HOW will I find time to do it when I have children? I want my kids to know how important it is to live the gospel of Christ. Now don't get me wrong, the internet machine is a wonderful thing I love me so blog time and can't get enough of Pinterest but it is important to incorporate other forms of GOOD into my day.  IN FACT.. I am making it a goal... I want to have the Book of Mormon read by December 31, 2012 ( putting on the blog holds my accountable right?)  Alright I  am done with all this seriousness adn I am linking up with this lady here and here. 

Weekend Review: The Most Boring Weekend...

The weekend was seriously a bore... It was kind of nice though. My allergies have been acting up... WAY UP like cant sleep well, bloody noses, headaches and a million sneezes acting up. It's the worse cause I can not take most allergy medicines. ANYWAYS this post wont be full of complaints. I PROMISE you that's it. Friday I was spoiled. My visiting teachers came over and gave me lots of treats (my house was clean this time thank you!), then at work I was given even more treats.

And this is after Jon got into them if you notice half the cake is gone and
quite a few cookies and rolls are gone too.... ( I may have helped a bit)

We went to Applebee's for my favorite queso dip and it just so happens that my sister was working that night. Her and her Fiance both work there as servers and were on duty which explains why they were not answering our plees of friendship. When they got off we went to their house to watch a movie. Super fun but bad choice for my sneezing nose. They have 3 dogs who love attention and apparently I am quite allergic to them. One roll of toilet paper later the movie, 30 Minuets or Less was over and actually pretty good.
Saturday was spent lounging around. We have started watching DR. Who on Netflix and it pretty much consumes our free time now... For those of you who don't know what DR. Who is... Look it up British T.V. show and it is quite entertaining. We did decide to venture out into the real world and take advantage of the nice weather... AKA not 100 Degrees outside. We took Ruca to the Dog park finally and it was worth it... LOOK at this Sunset...

Sunday Was spent at church teaching my little ones, well little one. This week I only had one little nugget, and let me tell you it was NOT easy. This little man is ALL boy he loves to talk, hates to listen and can't sit still for the life of him. I use pictures a lot in my lessons and he kept saying "put that away, DON'T use those, I hate those" Seriously! So after going through everything I had we still had 45 minuets left... UHHHH So we went on a walk and I made a game up thinking that should take a big chunk of the time up... NOPE  When we got back there was still 30 minuets left. So I did what any good teacher does and I called for my Hubby. Jon is so adorable with little ones, especially crazy boys. That crazy little nugg just sat there staring at Jon until he finally walked over grabbed the chocolate I had been bribing  giving him and handed it to Jon. That was it, it was love.

I just have to share one quote from this silly little boys ramblings.... While talking about something COMPLETELY  unrelated he interrupts...

"When I grow up I'll be a HUMAN!" He was seriously so excited about this I just had to let him know that he is in fact a human right now, in which his reply was " Not a real Human. I'm just a small human But Ill be a BIG Human when I grow up"

So there you have it my oh so boring weekend that I some how managed to write a giant post about... Congrats if you made it through :)

Its That Time Again...

Just a few of  my sweet dance moves...

This Weeks Questions:

Sunday Social Link up :)
 1. What is something you have wanted to do but are afraid of?
Take a dance class. I love it but I am so scared to go out and take a class by myself... Anyone out there looking for a dance partner?

2. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Done with school, a couple of kids and a helicopter flying Hubby in our own home (that we own)
3. What are you looking forward to before the end of 2012?

4. What are your hopes for your blog?
 That I can actually keep up with it, make people laugh a little and maybe grow it a little bit.

6. What is your morning routine?

Set alarm an hour before I need to actually wake up so I can "work out". Snooze alarm 3 to 5 times end up waking up late and barely have enough time  to get ready, grab a bagel, feed Ruca, let her out side while I scramble to get everything together and then jump in the car, start the car, realize that I forgot some important item, run back inside, finally leave 10 minuets after I should have.

The Day I Thought My House was Haunted

The day began like any other. I rolled over to snooze the alarm clock and realized I was sweating. Something was not right in our little condo. It is NEVER hot. I sat up slowly and began to look around, a tingle shot through my spine. I just knew something was not right. The house was oddly quiet. Ruca sat at attention ears moving every which way.....  I couldn't send the hubby to investigate as he had left hours earlier for work. Slowly I inched out of bed. It turns out the fan had stopped working and upon further investigation our tv, fan in the living room, oven and AC had all ceased to work. How random I thought... But this should be an easy fix right? 

Off to the breaker box I headed on the way there my nose starts to bleed... even with really bad allergies I never get nose bleeds... weird... I start shutting off breakers... in fact I shut them all off over and over again... no good half the house is still dead. As time ticks on I decide I have to ignore the lack of cool air and press on... School was going to start soon. The rest of the morning go as planed. Until it is time to get dressed. I go to turn on my closet light and nothing. 

"Oh well" I think, I guess at least one of the lights had to be broken... As I go to get a flash light I hear a clicking noise. The light springs on and dims to an eerie orange glow and begins to flicker. Another click... Its gone.

I swear my house looked like this... but with an orange tint...

 Now just a little bit scared I make a call to Hubby... and what does hubby have to say you ask? What words of comfort or advice? Oh you know just that our house is probably being haunted!

Now you see normally I wouldn't scare so easy but just last month we had two neighbors die. They were in their late 90's so it wasn't  a horrible shock or anything. It was sad but not unexpected. But this couple was not our biggest fans... No, we were the new young mixed marriage couple with the annoying dog. The husband would yell when we took Ruca to the bathroom and the wife would stare out the window with the lights off as we came home....

  So anyways his joke creeped me out. Especially as he said it the fan in the living room kicked back on and then began to flicker off slowly. The clicking and flickering began to happen more and more. So I packed my school stuff and Ruca up and left RAN... 

I couldn't let my sweet puppy get eaten by ghost could I??? 

 NO, I couldn't. I dropped Ruca off at my moms house and headed to school.

The rest of the day was actually pretty good. I even got to make cupcakes in my cooking class....

All though I dreaded heading back home to our haunted condo all day. When I pulled up to our humble abode....this little beauty was in our front yard ...

Turns out it wasn't our grumpy old neighbors just the power company.  

We are Going to be Millionaires

Ok so maybe not millionaires but I think my hubby is going to make us rich. He is pretty amazing as you probably know if you have read any of my other posts. This weekend he pretty much surpassed all of his previous greatness with this amazing little creation.

Now you are probably looking at that thinking OH he must have bought her a present.... WRONG

My man can crochet. That is right my big manly hubster can crochet with the best of them. Look how sticking cute that head band is. I was feeling really sick this whole weekend and had TONS of homework so lets just say I was not in the best of moods on Sunday. I showed my amazing man a picture from this girlies etsy shop and without even asking he headed to the craft room. Two hours later this is what he came up with.

 

No tutorial, no instructions just his oh so handsome brain. Now here is where I need to make a necessary note that Jon WAS watching foot ball while doing this so it was by default manly...

Anyways though don't you think we should sell them? I Would buy it. And the great thing is... 

He can make pretty much anything...

Big people Hats

Baby hats

Scarfs 

headbands

purses 

booties for the little nuggets

pretty much anything your heart desires
