I'll admit that I am lazy

Sorry guys- I have totally dropped the ball on this whole "blogging" thing. I remember promising to write every day. In the past month I have hardly written at all.

Right so let's move on to the updates....

I quit working at Michaels. It is no more. It just finally got to be too much for me- the straw that broke the camels back. I think a few weeks of rest and recuperation and I'll be back up to speed. The only bad thing about this is that Dave says that now that I have all this free time I have to start going back to the gym. :( So much for just being lazy.

Thanksgiving went great. I made a whole lot of desserts and no one really ate them (not a surprise- especially after a tasty Thanksgiving meal). I have a pumpkin pie and a cheesecake sitting in my fridge right now. I don't think they'll be eaten.

Dave and I are ready for the holidays. I have the house decorated and lights put up. And Dave and I have our Christmas shopping all done. The presents are even all wrapped up. :) I'm pretty proud of that. We have a 1.5 foot tall fake tree that we have the presents propped up against (all of this is on our dining room table). I think next year we're going to have to get a real tree or get a bigger fake tree. At least Pookie can't chew on the tree this year.

And there we go- all the updates I have for you guys. Still no snow around here. It's actually been pretty warm. I was hoping for some snow before Christmas (it's the prettiest when it's Christmas).

This next weekend Dave is going to take me out to see the lights at Temple Square. I am so excited. :)

And it's Monday again...

Seems like we get back to Mondays all too quickly. This weekend was good. Pretty quiet though. I just tinkered around the house and worked. Dave got this new video game called Dead Space for the PS3. We started playing it last night but I could only watch for about 1/2 hour because it was too scary. It's pretty fun to watch though except that I am a horrible back seat gamer- I'm always telling Dave to do something or run faster. Oops.

Otherwise things are going pretty well. I'm a pretty chipper mood- I think that it is going to be a good week. On Wednesday Dave and I are going to the wedding reception of one of Dave's closest friends, Tracy. I don't really mind going to weddings anymore. :P

Anyway, my halloween decorations have been up for a few weeks now, but I figured it might be a good time to post some pictures of them. :)

This is our table. I wish I could have taken a better picture of the skull and pumpkins lit up with the orange lights (it looks cool).

This is my happy/friendly jack-o-lantern.

And this is the other jack-o-lantern that greets everyone at our front door.

This one makes Dave laugh every time he sees it.

Dave shaved his beard

Dave finally gave up on the beard last night and shaved it off. I think I am okay with that. :)

I am already buying Christmas decorations. It's not even Halloween yet! (Although I did get a screaming deal). I made my own wreath too! Well, I guess I should say I decorated my own wreath. It's pretty cute if I say so myself (I'll post pictures later). It definitely looks like an amatuer decorated it though. I told Dave that I wouldn't put up any Christmas decorations until December 1 so I have to put everything in a box until then. And this starts our collection of holiday decorations! :)

Oh yeah and we watched Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull. Man that movie was crap! When did Indiana Jones turn from an archeologist to James Bond? It wasn't so much adventure as it was stupid. And aliens? Come on. It's like the writers weren't even trying. My favorite part is where Indiana Jones escapes/avoids an atomic bomb blast by climbing into a fridge. Of course the fridge goes launching into the air and Indiana Jones tumbles out just fine. It reminds me of watching the end of GI Joes when I was young... a whole bunch of kids are running around a junk yard playing hide and go seek when one of the kids tries to climb into an old abandoned fridge. Mr. GI Joe stops them and lets the kids know they shouldn't play in abandoned fridges or else they might get stuck.... Now you know, and knowing is half the battle... Anyway, I'm amazed Indy survived the fridge.

The weekend

Has finally arrived... again. This seems like such a repetitive post for me. But oh well.

In a bit of a last minute surprise, my mom is coming into town for the next few days. She'll get in tomorrow afternoon and then she'll drive with my brother, Jamieson, to Minnesota. I am excited to have her here with me. (I'm hoping she can help me decorate the place for Halloween and for fall.)

It's also General Conference this weekend. It's going to be a rainy, stormy weekend- perfect for lounging around the house and watching the Conference.

Tomorrow Dave is supposed to help the Woodbury's with their final motorcycle race of the season. If the weather ends up like its forecasted, I'm expecting the race to be cancelled. We will see.

Wish there were more to say. Tonight I am going to try to do all the things I haven't been doing this week. And I am going to try to decorate (that will be fun).

H0pe you all have a fun weekend planned. :)
