Not-So Deep Thoughts

Where’s My Pay Check?

I have again officially survived another 2 hours of nursery. I should have known the day would be interesting when I woke up this morning and it was raining outside....I think it was a sign. It never rains here!! It's a miracle the desert cacti haven't all shriveled up and died by  now. Regardless of the cold breeze and wet →


Speed Racer

I saw this question somewhere and it made me laugh out loud. It said, "When you and your husband are out together, who usually drives?" Now, normally this wouldn't be a funny question, but Chris and I are very possessive about our stuff. If we're in Chris's car, Chris drives. If we're in MY car, I DRIVE. No →


The Office

                        Okay, so I saw this Black and White photo on Anne's Blog.....and I could NOT resist putting it up. For those of you living in a hole, this is Jim Halpert from The Office . I'm kind of addicted to this show. For the entire week, I'm counting down the days to which I get to watch it. →


Driving Miss Baby…

My sister sent me a picture of my niece right before she made a goal for her soccer team. She is so proud of herself, and is growing up sooo fast!! Anne (my niece, the one with the navy blue shin guards) was about 1 years old at the time. I thought she was so great, and I was driving down →


Bug Eyes

I used to work with A pharmacist who was from Korea, and she moved here as an adult with her son. Her mother had recently come to live with her, and spoke no English. Naturally I was eager to meet her mother because I had heard so much about her from my co-worker. So I eventually had the opportunity to →


Lunch date from Hell

When I first started my job, I was very nervous. This new position was completely new to me, and I didn't have any experience in this particular area of pharmaceuticals. So....I wanted to do a really good job, I wanted my bosses to like me, and I wanted to prove to them that I could do it. The good and →


Need A Ride???

Since I've been sharing embarrassing moments, Lillian left me a message that reminded me of another. So... sorry Lillian you shouldn't have brought it up, but you're next.It was the most important day of my 20 years on this earth. This was the day Chris and I were to be sealed in the St. George Temple, and would forever call →


Please pass the corn….

Chris and I were visiting his parents a few years back, and on Sunday, his mother always makes a big dinner for us before we leave for Vegas. There were probably about 10 of us preparing to eat, and this day was no exception. The kitchen smelled wonderful. What I will mention in particular is the corn. She didn't just →


Why I hate balloons.

Have you ever been to Macaroni Grill, and they have that balloon guy walking around trying twist balloons into stupid animal hats, or flowers? Well, one evening Chris and I were enjoying dinner there, having a good time talking and excited to be spending a little time together. Then I see the dreaded balloon guy walking over to our table. →


Keep your Pee to Yourself!!!

Another exciting update on my weekly nursery adventure. While I have been vomited on, slobbered on, and wet-boogered on, I scarcely missed being pee'd on this week. Phew, I'm telling you it could have been bad. Unfortunately for her dad, he didn't get off quite as easily. We found him in the hallway with a gigantic stain on his pants. →


Another nursery tale…..

Last week at church, Chris had to help me in nursery because we were a few teachers short. Everything was going fairly smooth until there was an accident. Chris comes up to me with this panicked look on his face and he says, "one of the kids peed his pants and he's in the bathroom!" I go in there, and →


My Celebrity Crush…

                                              Okay....so I KIND OF have a celebrity crush on Anderson Cooper. He's a total Babe, and even though his hair is gray, I think it's HOT!!!! I read his Memoir that he published sometime last year, and I thought it was amazing. There's something really intriguing about a guy who's so articulate, and looks at things →


Nice Tan…..Or Just Plain Stupid?

This weekend Chris and I went home to his parents house, and I had a brilliant idea!! I'm going to lay out in the pool for a super long time a get a hot lookin tan!! So I throw on my bikini saturday afternoon, and I hop in the pool. I decided that because I'm so white, I should stay →


The TEST

  Lately I've really been thinking about what I want in my future. Weighing the possibilities of children, what I want career wise, and just in general trying to re-evaluate my life. Chris and I have constantly challenged ourselves at times taking on more than we bargained for, but in the end we have grown tremendously. I finally am to the →
