Wait, What? Snow?

image

I kinda thought winter was over. Most of our snow was gone and it was almost 60 yesterday. So of course it’s snowing. A lot. All morning. It’s spring break here, so I’m happy for the kiddos that might be out enjoying it, but I’ll wait until tomorrow to see what we end up with.

It put a damper in our house projects, so we’re hunkered down for the day. No more roof climbing for MK until it’s gone again. I keep hearing the plow go by, and dreaming of a warm sunny beach.

So what do we do? Plan a trip, of course!

I’m so lucky to be married to someone who thinks just like me. Aside from having a cold last week, we’ve planned out a couple of really great months. Instead of getting too frustrated by house work, we’re just going to break it up in between good times!

Sybo – we almost went to see Peelander-Z last night! Decided at the last minute 10 bucks each was a bit much, ha!


Mormon Zombies?

It’s been a while since I mentioned my favorite thing, and suddenly there was a bizarre movie on TV that reminded me, zombies! Is there such a thing as a Mormon zombie? According to this little pic there is:

How Sad

I like to read. I’ve had a book list every year I’ve had the blog- until now. And it’s not like I even noticed. Why not?

Because I just read my first book of the year.

I mean, we’ve been busy with other stuff! I stopped keeping track of what was going on, but I can’t remember if I’ve read a book in a while. So maybe I’ve read one or two, but don’t remember what they were. For the sake of keeping this little space n the internet dragging for myself and the thousands of you getting discouraged each day I don’t have a fresh new post up, I’m going to try to get it going.

The new Droid I got helps. I read my first book on the plane to and from Austin. And have many more available. I also have my Park City library card, and although it’s small there has to be something in there worth checking out. (get it, check out? Nevermind.) So I’m challenging myself to start now, this late in the year, and read the average of the last three years of posted books. I’ll let you know what that is when I go do the math.

Looks like

’07 – 47

’08 – 23

’09 – 43

So that should be easy. 38 books.

Help me! Suggest things you’ve read that I should check out.

:)
