flip flops and ponytails

You know about this, right?

I better see your head nodding. Because OF COURSE you know about Casual Blogger Conference, AND you already have your ticket and have planned the shoes you'll be wearing that weekend.

Right?

More head nodding?

Yeah, I don't have my shoes planned. I'm thinking I'll be in flip flop mode by then, so you can probably expect to see me there in something casual.

You'll know me, because I'll be the fat chick with ponytails and flip flops.

I'm not sure which special guest I'm looking forward to most. They all look really glamorous and important. (Which will contrast really great with my chubby ponytailishness.) I think I'm most interested in the photographers that are coming. As in, not anyone taking pictures of me, but those who are teaching the subject. Because anyone who takes a picture of me while at the conference will have to die a slow and painful death. Either that or your camera will break. Because I belong behind and not in front of a camera. Trust me. (Flip flops, remember.)

I think the most thing about Casual Blogger Conference I'm looking forward to is having a weekend away from my kids!!! WHOOOOO.

And meeting all of you, of course. (But that one was a given.)

I hope you have fun! I'm not going-but if I were, I would totally rock flip-flops and ponytails.

Dang. We're gonna have to fight over the chubby ponytail slot. Because at present? I'm all over it.

I hope you have a great time!! Let us know all about it. Part of me is a leetle bit jealous, and wants to live vicariously through you!

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...

hair loss and mourning

I like Monkey's hair long. I tried to grow out Opie's hair when he was younger, but he has always had a tremendously large head, and he also has very thick wavy hair. You pair those two together, throw in some long locks, and you've got yourself a genuinely bonified giant-head child. So I've learned my lesson: keep Opie's hair short. But Monkey's hair? It's so soft, and straight (our only straight-haired child) and super super cute when it's long. SUPER CUTE. (Agree with me - it's my blog.) But not many people liked the whole long hair thing. I kept having to threaten various family members with things like, "If I come back to find him with short hair I will DISOWN you, run away with my kids and you will never hear from us again. EVER." (Husband was particularly sensitive to this threat.) However, I did say that once random strangers started referring to him as a girl, I would consider cutting it. And even though ...

A Not Yet Forgotten Moment

I have one grandma that loves telling us stories, but my other grandma never thinks her stories would interest us and therefore keeps them to herself. Now that she's aging, she's sadly starting to forget the stories. And besides that, she's wrong - her stories would very much interest me. My grandma Deonna (Morgan) Van Nosdol, my dad in the middle, and my two uncles. Sometimes I try to get tricky and ask round about questions to get her to tell me stuff from her past. She gets upset when she can't remember certain things. But then sometimes things just come right out. For instance, a few weeks ago I was talking to her about a frustration I was having with one of my kids, and asked what my dad was like when he was younger. Grandma started talking about how my dad was a very calm and serious child. He would go outside behind their house, over by the clothes line, and build stuff all day. He had wood and nails and he would keep himself ent...
