Shoo fly don't bother me

I hate being on bedrest it turns me into a witch. I have been in one of the nastiest moods lately. AAAAHHHH! Can I just tell you about our, well just my dinner fiasco.

Loving helpful husband: "What would you like for dinner?"
Me: "I don't care."
Lhh: "Would you like me to make you something or bring something home?"
Me: "I. don't.care."
Lhh: "Well what sounds good?"
Me: "I don't care."
Lhh: "Okay I'll surprise you."
Me: "K"

So he comes home with nothing else but the loveable KFC. When the aroma sifts throughout the kitchen I start getting a little excited (first time all week) MMM who doesn't like KFC right?
Well I don't like gnawing meat off a bone I like he boneless tender stuff. And those biscuits and gravy Mmmmm :) Anyway apparently my husband doesn't know me that well because he brought me some bone in chicken (I can deal with that I guess) Then I get ready to dip it into my mashed potatoes but instead I have nasty potato wedges. Why does KFC even make those?

Anway I denied dinner and made myself a cup of water and ritz I'll just have to be self relient. less let down right??
Also pay attention to the people you live with... do they ALWAYS order mashed potatoes and gravy or do they ALWAYS order them?

Yes I realize that whole blog was about food but I really haven't had a lot going on this week and it has sucked I don't like being sick or feeling "down" I'm not complaining about having some downtime just uncomfortable downtime is what really gets me. But when I'm out and about again I'm going to be more attentive it comes in handy.

Steady as she blows...

Today I went swimming for the first time in a while. Sorry let me rephrase that, lap swimming.  Anway I went with my brother, who doesn't exersise (atleast to my knowledge) and who also smokes. Well can I just say I got owned. He was out swimming me, going further, tons faster, it was really a kick in the lady balls. I got to get my butt in gear. I don't like getting showed up like that! So my end of year resolution: get back in some sort of shape. :) Jillian once a week just isn't cutting it anymore.

Also you know that episode of Friends where Monica's hair meets humidity?? You all know the one. I learned a little something about myself today. Monica's hair is to humidity as my hair is to wind.

No I did not snap any pics you will have to use your own imagination on this one.

Some quick updates:

• We took our puppy on his first walk. (Is that equal to a baby taking his first steps?)
• Second night of puppy training almost exactly the same... Horrible. He whines and cries and howls and wimpers and cries. Until my husband finally gives in and cuddles with him and totally reverses everything we have worked for!
• Day time puppy training... Awesome! He's really getting the hang of things so I'm very hopeful for tonight, wish us luck. Highlight of the day he sat in the kennel without crying, with the door open for a good 40 minutes :) 
• It is Friday! Well technically Thursday night but close enough and I swear its been the longest week ever.... So glad for the weekend with absolutely nothing planned.
• Today I was tortured slightly. It was Thanksgiving lunch so I had to sit and watch hundreds of kids feasting while I sat and listened to my empty stomach grumble! Oh well though there is only a week until the real Turkey Day :)

This is Koda on his first walk! But apparently we went a little too far, or maybe there was just way too much going on, because he sat down and refused to go anymore so Bobby had to carry him for a little while....He's one spoiled puppy.

Get Ready!

Did you know November is National adoption month? Well it is so I thought I'd jump on board.

I'd like you to meet the newest member of the family!

Do I love dogs? No, do I even really like dogs? No. BUT I do love this little guy. Its mostly because he makes my husband so GD happy, which makes me happy. It is going to be fun to learn how to train him ... wait did I say fun??? I meant Hell. Last night was a looong night. You see hes a 1/2 malamute 1/4 siberian husky and about 1/4 wolf. But if you ask me he looks more like a wolf and acts more like a malamute. Which means: he's very calm and he howls. Especially last night, his first time being away from his 10 siblilngs... Understandable but still not very fun for me. Luckily I have an awesome husband who does the early morning wake up calls :) We are slowly getting him trained and I can't wait to take him out on walks and runs and show off this studly dog of ours.

What a day-

Today is Gratituesday, and well its been one of those days. You know the kind, where you just started off in a bad mood and then everything is going wrong, which makes you more negative, and round and round. However in lieu of the day I will tell you what I AM grateful for today:

• My lovely husband is a.maze.ing!
• I am grateful that I got my house cleaned yesterday
• I'm grateful work is over for the day
• I'm grateful for crafts I have been crafting like crazy lately (Thanks Pinterest) 

So I thought I would show you a couple of the cuter things I have made... And some of the other things I cannot post on here because they are Christmas gifts! Wouldn't want to waste a good surprise.

This is a cute little calender that you write on with a marker and just erase it every week... I saw it on pinterest and luckily I had one of these frames kickin' around so it was free to make!

Got this calender idea here

And I love the holidays so I'm getting ready early. (Sorry I couldn't rotate the picture) A muffin tin advent calender! The funnest part of this project was coming up with fun activities to have everyday.

This advent calender was sparked from this

And this is my neice! Photography idea taken from this blog

I know a little weird but I think its real cute, I mean look at her little feet!

I'm excited for the next week of crafting I have lots of things planned so we'll see how much of it I can get done. :)

Men will be boys. (Is that right?)

How long will it take me to get use to this time change! Its only 7 and I feel like its 11:30! Well, I had the least productive day today, and so I had to leave the house atleast for a little bit. Since I had some coupons burning a whole in my pocket I thought I'd use them up. Its fun to try couponing but I'm waiting for the day the store pays me! That would be sooo awesome. So this week my husband has been feeling sick, he's been home for the past couple of days. :( But I think he's feeling better because when I got home I found this sitting in the sink. I love him, my curious little husband, so much :)

11.11.11

Well if you didn't know already today is Cedar City's birthday! So shout out to Cedar, the land that I love. I was born here and I'm pretty sure I'll die here.

Anway what I came to post about was this awesome 5 year old's words of wisdom. (well I'm sure he got it from his mama because thats where all kids information comes from right?)
Today while I was policing the playground, being a friday there were LOTS of whining/complaining/tattling etc. Lucky for me one of the kids was "helping me out" Everytime somebody came to tattle my little "helper" would say "THATS A KID-SIZED PROBLEM" and when they asked him what that meant, he would tell them it means: "solve it yourself" hahaha

Gratituesday again...

So its already Tuesday, and Can I just say I'm grateful Monday is over. It started off being a pretty lousy week. But today is a new day :) And here are some things I'm grateful today...

• The snow. I decided I'm ready for the holidays to be here.
• Its gift giving time, I love trying to find "perfect/surprise" gifts for people
• Im comtemplating getting a puppy. Who doesn't want a puppy for Christmas? (talk me out of this someone!)
• I don't work my second job the rest of this week
• Donated yarn, so my crafting didn't have to come to a halt
• Nyquil it really works miracles... I'm just hoping it can work faster
• My husband and the fact that he is so sweet to me, he made me dinner in bed last night... Ramen.(this could be because I was trying to go to bed at 7... but thats a whole different story)
• No more scraping ice off the windows... We cleaned out the garage and I can park in there now!
• Boys Basketball tonight :) Go T-Birds. (Who needs the stinkin' NBA?)

Thats all for now, I'm really hoping I can have a better day at work today and I'm also hoping that it goes by SUPER fast.

Fahion mishap

Lately I have been really into clothes shopping, and for any of you that know me, realize this is a big deal. I have never liked shopping! But I've just been expanding my horizons I guess. Anyway one thing I found and I loved was a cute little sweater dress. I thought why not pair it up with some leggings (cause they are really in right now... right?) Well I wore my new outfit yesterday.
Only to see...

My 11 year old neice was in the same outfit! Down to the same shoe! Hmmmm either she is advanced for her years or I'm shopping in the wrong department.

Anxious?

I have a meeting with this in the morning,

Yikes. Just sayin'.

2 Gratituesday

So I'm still calling this post Gratituesday even though it is now Wednesday. I guess I was busy yesterday.
Today I am especially grateful for my health. I know I whine and complain about all the stupid tests and all the stupid bumps and bruises I get. But overall I am pretty healthy and I am very grateful. I need to remember it could be much worse. So this week when I get stuck parking at the very end of the parking lot at work. Or when I have to make a hundred trips uptown because I always forget something. Or when I have to cook dinner and clean the bathrooms again. I will not complain because atleast I'm healthy enough to be doing ALL of those things. :)
