Valentines Day part deux and my bed...

That sounded interesting didn't it.....


I just wanted to show the neat stuff Amy got me for Valentines day. I didn't get her anything because I didn't think about it, but later that night she got a diamond ring from her then boyfriend/now fiance so that pretty much makes up for almost anything.





Also, I got a new bedspread and I really like it so I thought I'd show it off. I think a white pillow would look good on it, Amy thinks a bright color...I need some ideas.

Happy Valentines Day to Me!

So I figured since I wasn't getting a present for a guy this year I should get one for myself, I debated for a while but Amy persuaded me to just do it.(thanks Aim!)
It's CHOCOLATE and SHOES!! What could be better?! I will eat them eventually but they are just so dang cute I'll have to just have them sitting on my dresser for a bit first. The other one is a tiny purse with chocolates in it, again TOO COOL!

A message in my apple.....?

So...sometimes when I'm at work I get a little distracted. I was a good girl and brought a healthy lunch in today. A sandwich and an apple. I took a bite of my apple and this is what I saw.......



What do you suppose it means???

Sledding and such...

My nieces really wanted to go sledding today and there is a really good hill near their house. My younger sister was driving us all to the great sledding spot when the car decided it wanted in on the action. We were coming up to a two way stop when the car decided it would rather sled than stop. We slid along a "fun" patch of ice until another car got in the way. No one was hurt, just shaken a little. The cars looked a little worse for the day but not horrible.
I think the Universe was telling me to stay home....I did not listen. The kids still wanted to to go so we had my Sister-in-Law drive us to the hill (you didn't think I wanted to drive did you?). I was really fun and we some some good wipe-outs when I decided to go for one last run....to paraphrase Napoleon's (Dynamite) uncle, I think I broke my Coxix, that's most likely not spelled right.
I don't think it's actually broken but bruised is a word that comes to mind, ouchy!

Here's a picture of my sledding buddies


Sara my niece on the left, Mackenzie their friend in the middle and Bre my other niece on the right.

We are slightly bruised but it was fun, especially for my first sledding experience!!

Thanksgiving Dance

Kelsey's parents were nice enough to invite me to their home in Colorado for Thanksgiving. It was fun to be with a fun family for Thanksgiving especially since I couldn't be with my own. They made me feel included and everyone had a good time I think, except poor Catherine who was sick the whole time.
Here is a video...if it works...of Kelsey's kids rocking out to the Twilight soundtrack and "helping" with the puzzle the Gosney girls worked on all weekend.
One of the many fun times we had.
