I Almost Forgot to Put a Title on This

It's been a little while since my last post, so I thought I better write something. Sometimes when I haven't been present in the online world for awhile I get a few concerned emails. For those few who worry about me, here you go!

I really think I make pretty faces in pictures. This one in particular. Seriously, though... I must walk around looking like an idiot all day, since there are so many hideous pictures of me taken. You know how moms always say not to make a face or your face will stick that way? Well, that must've been what happened to me.

I have a migraine today. Thank you mother nature for your monthly gift.

I'm going to bunco tonight. I'm finally an official member of the group instead of just a sub. I guess they either 1) got desperate or 2) I passed some sort of test.

I've had a few experiences in the past few days that have shown me that I live in a VERY cliquish place. I won't share all of them, because people read my blog, and in general I really like everyone here. One I can (I think) share is that I'm having a hard time getting violin students, and was told it was because I was "new" here, and people don't take to strangers quickly. In Rigby I got more calls than I could handle. I guess it will just take some time.

I finished a good book called Reconstructing Natalie. Thanks, Brenda! Now I'm reading another Brenda recommendation (like she's ever read anything I've recommended ;) called A Voice in the Wind. It's interesting so far.

We had a fun time visiting family around New Year's. I have a few sledding pictures that I'll post later... when I feel like it. I love spending time with those I love. :) Melissa was even nice enough to clean our teeth and do sealants on the kids. She's amazing. Simply amazing. We also were able to go to Donovan's baby blessing. Jason gave him a beautiful blessing. And I looked great in my new shoes that my mom bought me for my birthday. They're so cute! I'll take a picture and post it later... when I feel like it.

It actually got warm here today! Like 40 degrees warm! You'd think that was good news, but it's actually very bad news. Brandon hadn't had a chance to break the ice off of the roof yet, so he thinks our roof will leak as it melts. Just add it to the list, baby. At least I won't trip over a leaky roof (like I do the bumpy kitchen floor ;).

Tyler also put a basketball through the window in the dining room. Jason was the lucky guy on the other end of the phone when it happened. Sorry about your eardrum, Jas. Luckily we still have a storm window there... or maybe that's unluckily, since that means it will probably never get fixed, since it's not a gaping hole to the outdoors... no, I'm looking on the bright side... fresh air! Interesting break pattern to look at! Warmer for the cat who sits in the window box next to it! There are all sorts of benefits if you look hard.

Well, I'm going to go see if there's some magic I can make happen for dinner...
