deep snow on the farm

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

Have I mentioned that I love where I live right now? I live in a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom cottage that is surrounded by a huge yard that has about 8 huge, old trees on it and then behind the house is 2 more acres with a barn. The driveway wraps around behind [...]

Witness

Saturday, December 19th, 2009

We were driving home from Christmas party tonight and witnessed an accident.  I called the police.  We couldn’t stop because we were on the freeway and there were a lot of people behind us.  We knew there was not much we could do so I said a prayer and called the police.  We were so [...]

The very short tale of a Christmas tree

Friday, December 18th, 2009

I bought a tree.
A Douglas Fir to be exact.
It was beautiful and smelled so Christmas-y.
The smell reached to every corner of my 2 bedroom cottage.

Clint was gone so me and Eva went to pick a tree.
I picked the most beautiful and least expensive I could find.
It was $19.99.
I brought it in from the truck and [...]

no sleep is fine by me

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

more like a real journal entry you say? Riveting!

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

I decided not to run the marathon this month but to take my time and find one out in the future that I can take my time and train and qualify for Boston. I am also a procrastinator so whatever. It is freezing in Utah now and it is especially hard to get [...]

I am jealous of Julia Roberts and the like

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

The whole working mother thing is only for rich people.

Seriously, Julia Roberts makes it all look so easy but that is because she has millions of dollars to pay for the best quality child care possible and never has to deal with the days where her nanny can’t watch the kids so she must stay [...]

Have a Regular Christmas-Festival of Trees 2009

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

Today the Festival of Trees starts and me, my sister and mom all put a gingerbread house together again.
Click here to see last years.

Last year we put in a lot of work so this year we decided to do something easier and simple.

My mom did the cardinal with just frosting.  She is amazing.

So if you [...]

Happy Holiday but not a second more

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

Our holidays are too short. There is all this hype and then they last one day and then life comes back at you like a freight train. I keep thinking “I wish it was last week because last week was a three day work week followed by eating and laziness.” Thanksgiving is [...]
