5 yrs to eternity & beyond

"I don't want to get up baby, let's turn off the phone
I don't want to go to work today or even put my makeup on
I've got better things to do than my todo list anyway
Hide under the covers and waste away the day
Let's just lay here and be lazy, baby drive me crazy...
"...All I want to do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wooo
All I want to do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wooo
is love you..."
"I got my whole life to change the world and climb the ladders
Looking at you looking at me is the only thing that matters
Come a little closer baby, we can talk without the words
Hang a sign on the door, please do not disturb
Let's just lay here and be lazy, baby drive me crazy..."
click on the pic to see what's on my jacket
"...All I want to do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wooo
All I want to do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wooo is love you
Give me a kiss, from that Elvis lip,You don't want to miss this..."
"...All I want to do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wooo
All I want to do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wooo is love you wo woo
All I really want to do is,
All I really want to do is,
All I really want to do is love you, and love you, and love you..."
"...Come a little closer baby, we can talk without the words
Hang a sign on the door, please do not, please do not, please do not, please do not disturb
When I lay down in the evening all I really want to do,
When I wake up, when I wake up in the morning baby,
all I really want to do is...
wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wooo..."
-sugarland "all i want to do"
all
i
want
to
do
is
love
with

ATTENTION! ATTENTION! ATTENTION!

the pork loin is rumored to have just walked 3 consecutive steps without assistance!!!!
i'm sorry to say i did not see it myself (truth be told, i was indisposed),
but s.d.gib's yells from the front make me believe it's true.
the walking is almost here.
you lucky people still in the running,
keep your eyes peeled!!!
we've got a pre-walker getting ready to move it, move it;-)

outta sorts!!!

my house it out of control
i know the pictures don't do the mess justice.
i'm sure you're thinking,
"mine's worse than that."
or you're thinking,
"clutter, i hate clutter.
i'm done with emilisq!"

there's no room in our fridge for the food.

it's outta sorts too!!!

laundry is still out from monday.
MONDAY PEOPLE!
and my ledge?
i know, what ledge?!
let's not discuss the bathroom.
what happens when my house it "otta sorts!!??"
i leave my car door open for 2 1/2 hours in the middle of the street.
don't worry,
it was locked.
now what to do about my house...
i could pretend that i will leave it this way for the rest of the day, weekend, blah, blah, blah.
i can't leave it this way!!!
i just can't.
i'll go insane.
i can do a mess,
don't get me wrong.
i can't do 4 days of mess.
i am happier when things are organized.
i feel better when things are neat and tidy.
really, can you say you don't?
enough is enough!
"mr. clean gets rid of dirt and grime and grease in just a minute,
mr. clean stays stronger longer 'cause there's ultra power in it,
mr. cleeeeeeeeeeeeean, eeeeeeeeeeeeean, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeean."
that's me.
for
THE
REST
OF
THE
DAY.
goodbye.

on NOT being flds polygamists

it was hot.
real hot.
excuse my improper use of adverbs.
just know it was on purpose. sorry dad;-)
the schwan's man came by (aka shawn ray)
we had to buy some pops
the pork loin was in true form.
he ate the entire thing.
the pediatrician assures me
i am not to worry about his "pork loin-ness"
so the sprinklers came on
and we
got
wet
and it was all down hill from there. or uphill.
whichever your perspective is.

my phone has become my camera.

thank goodness it's snazzy.

kind of like the park in our backyard.

no really, it's a park.

at least that's what people call it.

well, it used to be called the compound, but then people started thinking we were flds polygamists.

so now we call it a park.

and no, we're not flds polygamists.

we're just crazy people that live by our family.

lots of people in our family.

cousins, mothers, grandmothers.

this isn't making a good case for my title is it?

i'll explain later...

"i felt like running."

"i love running...but i remember when i didn't...running was about doing things i didn't think i could do."
-me
oh dear, did i just quote myself????
my apologies.

are you sick of me talking about running yet?
then you must not have taken the challenge.
look. my friend bree.
she's not sick of hearing about it anymore.
wait, did i just use comparing one person to another to motivate you?
i'm sorry, i know that doesn't work.
what i meant to say is i've seen some of your posts on running.
that you're trying it.
loving it.
growing from it.
check out bree's post today. click here.
and put on your runnin' shoes!
i wasn't even the one who motivated bree to run.
i was just one of her crazy friends that liked running.
"em, i don't run."
i know, but you should, you'll love it!
tonight's a great night.
the weather's warm.
leave the kiddos with your hub,
the school books on your desk,
the "things to do" on the list.
and then tell me about it.
or blog it.
whichever.
i promise you'll feel super!
and prettier too;-)

spring & summer are cheaper than winter.

spring & summer are cheaper
than winter.
we don't have to go
to the store to get out.
we
love
getting
out.
but this does mean we don't have dinner plans.
or anything to make for that matter.
time to start the grilling season!
"here comes the sun,
little darling."
