Here It Comes Again!

Here it comes again.... woke up to world of white and still coming down though it's not sticking much to the roads yet. Thank goodness.
We've had such a beautiful few days I guess we paid no attention to the fact it is still only February. The joke is on us.
I've had a very hard time watching the news over the last few days. The other night a man shot up the mall at Trolley Square downtown. He hurt and killed alot of people. Five people are dead and there were several taken to the hospital. An 18 year old had a shotgun and a handgun and died in a shootout with police. No one knows why he did it, or why he picked Trolley Square. An off duty Ogden cop was there and he got alot of people out of harms way then confronted the shooter along with a few other police but I guess it was quite awhile B4 they got everyone out. Totally Creepy.

Tanked Up!!

Just put 6 whole gallons of gasoline in the Smurf-Mobile. Can I just say WooHoo!! only $12.25!! Not only that but I'm getting 27.2mpg.
I'm so excited! That's almost double the van's.
Once I get a few more miles on it and the engine gets broken in I should be getting even better than that. I'll have to change the name from "Smurf-Mobile" to "Lightening McQueen" LOL

The "Smurf-mobile"






This is my new way fun Honda FIT Sport !!

How cute is that?

The colour is Vivid Pearl Blue.

It's brand spanky new and all mine. In fact I got last one currently available in the entire state of Utah. At least for the next 6 to 8 weeks when 10 more are scheduled to arrive and none of them are in cut colours LOL I completely totally adore it. I never bought a new car B4. It even has that new car smell.

I did all my research and talked with the bank about loans and boring ick stuff like that. I test drove every one of the top 10 in it's class. I super really liked the Dodge Caliber but it was more money and they only had boring black or even more boring white. The Smurf-mobile has instant character! Plus it ranked #1 out of 10 in Car & Driver and Consumer Reports so I'm feeling pretty good about my purchase and best of all the seats fold up and down and all round so I can fit just about anything I care to fit in my FIT.

Sounds like Dr Zuess.......

Oh what can you FIT in your new little FIT?

A Bike and a Trike or 3 little tikes,
It's litttle and cute but not cramped, has all the saftey features like side curtain air bags and weird stuff that people tell you to worry about. Lots of bells and whistles...what do you need with a 6 CD changer anyway? You can only listen to one at a time but it's got it. It's also got super good re-sell value because it is a Honda and it's the best on gas of all the ones I've driven. It's sure different from my van. Nothing rattles or makes noise, it's so quiet..... and if I do want to pull over and sleep the front seats recline all the way to match up with the back ones and make a bed. How cool is that?

Happy Birthday Daddy


Happy Birthday Daddy!! I love you!


I wish I was there to celebrate with you and the rest of the family.

Was not feeling too well yesterday but Dr can't see me til next week anyway. I realized that I had most likley skipped a dose somewhere on Monday but I'm not sure when. I woke with a terrible migraine that had me reaching for the Frog's emergency alert button as I dragged my sorry self into the kitchen to test only to find my blood sugar at 39.

Explained alot about whay I was feeling that way but if I skipped wouldn't that have raised rather than lowered it? I did actually eat though after I talked with Big Little Brother. So I don't what's going on.

five weeks and 2 days. I'm starting to feel halfway alive now. It's so hard without him. I think that the Palmer's must have truly been blessed to go together like they did. I wouldn't like to freeze to death but being alone is the absolute worst. I did some fun things last week for as long as I wanted without worrying about when I had to be home so that was cool.

Sunday night I went with MIL and family to the Palmer's visitation at the old church building. Based on the crowd there ( it was a true madhouse) they were right to hold the service Monday at the Stake Center. I've never been to anything like it. The girls did have some baskets and notecards stashed about and had asked that we share our thoughts about their folks.

This is basically what I wrote.

I met Reed when I was 17 and he showed me and my Aunt a house for our family of 9 to move into. Unlike some of the other Realtors we had talked to, he took me seriously when I'd say no my parents won't like this type floor plan. He not only helped us find the house in the neighbourhood he lived in it had enough bedrooms for us 3 older kids to have rooms of our own. Later I met Steve and when we got engaged it was Loa Fae who helped us with backdrop, flowers and decor for the reception. Two years after that Reed sold us our first house as a couple. I feel I owe him rather alot since if we hadn't lived right there I may have never met my Handsome Frog Charming.

Mischief Maker

Is this not the cutest smile ever?

Can you tell this kid is used to posing for the camera?

Can't you just SEE all the mischief she will cause in about 5 more minutes? Look closely .......... There is is,

that glint in her eye. The I'm staring at you. Does it bug you? Why? I'm just sitting here.

Whatcha doing?

I'm bored. I think I'll build a fort. Then beat the other children in the daycare over the head with the long snakey things......... Yep that sounds like something I shouldn't put off even one more second.
Here I go!!!!!

31 Days

Now it's been one whole month.
No one tells you how you end up counting days.
First you count minutes
Then seconds
Then hours
Then days
31 days nine hours 22 minutes
Goodbye Frog I miss you
