my life in updates

Update 1:
The squatters are now home owners. Glad that's over.

Another Update:
Last week I got to tag along while Husband went to Phoenix for the National Greenbuild Convention and hang out in a hotel room for 3 days ALL BY MYSELF.

I want to go back.

Being alone is LOVELY.

Update Numero Tres: I saw NEW MOON today!!!!!!!!

I have to say that the first movie kind of killed the whole Twilight thing for me. Ok, not really. But the more I watched it, the more I realized how immature being obsessed with vampires and werewolves are.

And I am nothing if not mature.

But after watching New Moon (which was my favorite book of the series - TEAM JACOB) I'm ready to be immature and obsessed again. I was so worried they'd ruin it. I was ready to be disappointed on some kind of level (if only slightly....or possibly a lot, I wasn't sure.)

I'm not disappointed.

And tonight I may just possibly dream that I'm a teenager again so that I can stalk and maybe even date Taylor Lautner.

Maybe when I see the movie a few more times -like 37- I'll decide to be mature again.

We'll see.

Yes I agree, it was so so good! Especially compared to Twilight. All of the teenage girls where squealing and clapping and while I didn't join in, I sure wanted to :)

It was so much better than the first one! And I got a litle hot and bothered myself with Jacob shirtless the whole time.

I'm so glad you liked New moon! I feel like so many people say it's their least favorite---it was good. I'm not really Team Jacob or Edward, I just like the books. But let's be honest, Taylor Lautner was so dang hot in that movie! If I did pick a team, he'd have a super strong argument right now:)

My oh my, that picture's practically pornographic! ;)

I think I WILL go ahead and see the movie before the book. I have to figure out a way to understand the obsession and a movie just seems like a quicker way to do it.

I KNEW you would be a Team Jacob girl! I mean, since we're practically soul twins, it was kind of a given. And I too loved the second book, and have been worried that the movie would be as big a let down as the first one was.

After your glowing review (and the picture of Jacob - who unfortunately looks NOTHING like any of the actual Native Americans from the Forks area {I know, I live there}) I may just cave in and go see it.

Miss you, by the way. Your hystericalness lights up my life.

So, you're probably wondering who the heck your soul-sister Diane is. That would be my mother, this would be her computer, and that would be me, forgetting to log myself in.

You still light up my life.
I haven't seen the movie yet but I'm glad to hear it is better than the first one!! I'm a team Edward person when reading the books but after seeing all the previews for New Moon it is making me rethink my decision!

GIVEAWAY (of the photo Christmas card variety)

I think I just creeped out my four year old. I pulled out the, "You'd better go to bed because Santa's Elves are watching you to make sure you're being good!" routine. His eyes got big, and round, and scared. And he said, "Why would they do that?!" Also, our church building burned down yesterday. No wait, it didn't. But the alarm went off, and the entire ward just sat there in the chapel (and gym, because we have an enormous ward.) I sat there too. I don't know what everyone else was thinking, but the thought going through my head was, "Can somebody please get that alarm turned off, it is WAY TOO LOUD!!!!" Seriously, I think our ward is now 37% deafer after that. Oh, and there was no actual fire. And the first fire truck to show up was driven by one of our ward members who was on duty that day. Good times. And now, that GIVEAWAY: For procrastinators everywhere (that would include me) I'm giving away one free photo Christmas card d

little pieces of my heart will be for sale at D.I.

I have this thing about my kids clothes. The thing is, I LIKE BUYING THEM CLOTHES. I get in trouble frequently for this. It's just that the old ones get so boring after awhile. And I hate it when the really cheap clothes look like poop after washing them a couple of times. Luckily, I live in a city that has outlet stores. I love outlet stores (and Ebay!) Alot of the time you can find higher quality clothes for Walmart prices so how could I NOT buy them? It would be like wasting money for me NOT to get a couple $4 shirts at OshKosh. Right? RIGHT?!! The problem is - we have tiny closets. Miniature, puny, ridiculous, TINY closets. The other problem is - I have saved EVERYTHING. Not only are the kids' closets chuck full of stuff, but we have multiple rubbermaid bins in our garage full of baby clothes they've all grown out of. Also, we may not be having any more children. And I say "may not" because if I say "for sure not" someone will have to co
