Last night I hosted my very own Tastefully Simple Party. It was so much fun. Thanks to all the women who came – especially Alexis who was the consultant – who made it a blast. There is something about a group of women coming together that makes life a little more bearable.
Hmmm…sound like another society made for relief?
It was yummy…my new favorite – the bread (made with Sprite) and the almond pound cake. AMAZING. I could eat it all day. Yum Yum!
Ok…I’ve been a slacker. I completely admit it and I will make up for it in posts about our vacation to California and life since the last post. They will be back dated so keep scrolling down. =)
Free-spirited and wise. You have a strong passionate spirit that touches and changes all who know you. The wisdom and common sense that you have is really what guides you through life. Even so, you also have a very playful side that loves adventure and excitement.
Which Disney Princess Are You?
Today was the day of the primary Faith in God bootcamp. A very cute idea put into action by the primary presidency. It was wonderful. There were nine stations. Adam and I were in charge of one. Actually Adam was in charge of two. Adam taught how to teach an FHE and how to do a pedigree chart. I taught how to do and fold laundry. It was a blast, but tiring…. =)

I took this picture not too long ago….and thought it was really cute. I am not sure about when it was; however, an oddity of waking up and getting out of bed before Adam is something I should remember…
Cute huh?
Anyways, this weekend has been a really good one. We started out going down to South Carolina to the Temple in Columbia. It was a wonderful day!!! I learned a lot and realized some new things too. Then we came home and went to bed. This morning I didn’t get to go to church but Adam went and taught my class for me today. THANKS BABY!
For scouts tonight we went to Krispy Kreme to watch donuts be made. Not sure what merit badge we were working on but it sure was fun. All the boys got a bag with a free donut of their choice and a hat. Unfortunately the leaders didn’t get a free donut….not sure why. Kind of sad if you ask me. But I did buy two dozen so I think that more than made up for the one I didn’t get. =)
I took the glazed dozen back to the church for Adam and the Webelos and we came home with one glazed donut and the other dozen. Awesome. =)
Too bad my tummy hurts and I can’t stomach to eat one.

I didn’t feel like getting out of bed today and going to church, but I finally found the strength to pull my mammoth rear out of the bed and get ready. I just didn’t feel well, but my dad always taught me that I never HAVE to do things unless I didn’t want to.
Tangent:
Imagine a bunch of kids telling their Dad that they didn’t want to go to church and his response being: “You only have to if you don’t want to.” To which the kids respond “Ok, I want to go!” And then a loving Dad says, “OK let’s go!”. And then all ten of the eyes and five faces – one face and two eyes were mine – look at him completely confused….
Back again:
I didn’t feel like going to primary today and teaching my lesson. I did go, but I didn’t teach. My hubby came and did that for me. But I felt like a bum, but he did a fantastic job. And the kids were great today.
I didn’t get much out of church today and I know that is all my fault. I am sure the spirit was there. There are some wonderful teachers. I just couldn’t focus or concentrate.
I didn’t feel like smiling at all today. I just felt like curling up into a ball and watching a movie. Which I did. Adam and I watched “Enchanted”. It was good as far as chick flicks go – I think my favorite character was the Prince. He was hilarious. So oblivious and sure of himself and hilarious when he was trying to remind Giselle (which happens to be one of my friend’s from college’s name. I wonder where she is and how she is doing now) to finish his duet. His dork-ocity was hilarious.
I did feel like sleeping and I did. I took a three hour nap. And woke to the sound of basketball. Adam is so cute.
I felt like eating chocolate and I did. Probably too much. Oops.
I felt like reading my sister’s, my nephew’s and my my mom’s blogs. Some of them updated theirs and others didn’t but it was good to catch up on family. I miss them a lot. I wish I were closer – especially now that I seem to be struggling and not as strong as I have been in the past nor as I hoped I would be.
I hope your days were better….let me know. Loves to all.
So I talked to Rachael W – she does flowers and is amazing at them – and it turns out that I may have doomed my shamrock plant to die. While Sugar does give a little pick-me-up, it also allows bacteria to grow and fester. Sad. I’ll keep you posted whether you want to be or not….
