Same Ol' Stuff

What's new? Not really anything. I was talking to Cathy Melchin the other day and she used the phrase "every day is Groundhog's Day". That's what I feel like sometimes - same routine, different day, with very few exceptions. Even down to reporting the activities of others, it's still the same thing, different week. Mom and Zack went on a road trip last week, got home this week. Becky and I were alone in the house and sometimes we even saw each other - she goes to bed around 7, or earlier. So on my late nights, I didn't see her. I wandered around the house all by myself, nobody to talk to, so sad....not. I enjoyed the quiet.

One thing that is new and different, I am now a red-head, with blond highlights. It's really not so shocking and now that I have red hair, I realize how non-descript my actual hair color is. As the roots start to show, I have the feeling that I will keep this red hair!

I also want everyone north of the border to know that I'm wearing sandals today, and it's almost 80 outside, a crisp coolish 80 degrees. I have to make the most of it right now because all too soon it will be a crisp hotish 100 outside. And nobody will be jealous.

I'm still crocheting like a mad woman, trying to get a white blankie done for Melinda's baby who came early without asking permission! I'm actually almost done with it, then I have to figure out how to get it in her hands before March 30th, the blessing day. I'm thinking the best way is to deliver it personally.

Mom and I are also planning a trip to SLC for Conference. I'm looking forward to that - I always enjoy the break. The only real vacation I'm anticipating is going to Calgary in May. The last few trips there have been in the Winter, so I've seen lot's of snow. Better not be snowing in May - although I seem to remember snow 4 years ago when Melinda and Michael got married. Hmmm....June?

Went to the grocery store last weekend (oooo! big news!) and saw the cutest thing! Those who know me well are aware of my attraction to almost anything miniature: tiny ketchup bottles, tiny little books, tiny flashlights, etc. Well, can you imagine my delight when I saw itty bitty little cartons of Haagen Dazs ice cream? They were 10 for $10! So I bought 5. They are/were so cute! I sat down that night with a spoon, opened the teeny tiny lid, and pulled off the teeny tiny paper. I waited a teeny tiny minute to give the ice cream a chance to soften a little. I took my first teeny tiny bite. Yummo. Haven't had HD for awhile. Second bite. Just as yummy. Third bite as well. Fourth bite hit the spot. As I scraped the bottom of the teeny tiny carton, I decided that I needed a teeny tiny bit more! Next time, I'll splurge a teeny tiny bit!
