Recovery, Beauty Queens and Soundtracks

While we have had a lot going on, I haven’t had much to write about. Weird, huh. Danny is healing up quite nicely after his little surgery, even though his back is sore. We have used Netflix quite a bit during the recovery. My personal favorite right now is “Pushing Daisies”. It is such a clever show, love it. Also, as part of the healing process Danny let his beard grow in which I think is so handsome on him. That is until today when he had to shave the whiskers because he returned to work. Good thing I think he is handsome without a beard as well.

While I don’t have many exciting events to share, I do have random thoughts and that is just as good, don’t you think? First off, I was researching the Cherry Blossom Festival in DC, just because. I found out that the way the Queen of the Cherry Blossom Festival is chosen is by spinning a bottle. Now that is my type of beauty contest. I told Talena and we both found it funny, because we usually find the same things funny. Now we want to try out next year. If this will really happen hard to say, but you never know.

Second, I’ve been so bored with my music lately it is making me nauseous; thus, causing me to search on YouTube for new tunes to be my background music as I work. I came across these two songs by Ingrid Michaelson that I have never heard before and I heart them oh so very much. You can listen to them here and here. Being a big Ingrid fan, I have no idea how I missed these tunes. I’ve come to a conclusion that if I had a soundtrack for my life, I would want Ingrid Michaelson to compose it.

  1. I like that I now have a tag just for me, entitled "The Husband."

  2. We like Pushing Daisies too! It is such a tragedy that it only lasted for two seasons.

  6. I like "Pushing Daisies," too--and Netflix. You should definitely enter the spinning bottle beauty queen contest, though I think you could win a regular beauty queen contest, too :).

Oh Crafty Trees, Oh Crafty Trees...

I've become a finals widow, if you will, meaning Danny is crazy busy trying to finish up the semester.  This has given me extra time to use my crafty skills to get our place Christmas ready.  My first creations were these little paper/foam trees.  I've seen a few variations online of this craft. I put my own little twist on it.  They are really easy to make, just takes some time. Here is what you need: Scrap paper Hot glue gun 1" Circle punch Foam cone (at most craft stores) Toothpicks Note:  You are going to go to the craft store to buy the little foam cone and you will see styrofoam glue and you will think to yourself that would be a good thing to buy for this project.  Don't!  I got the styrofoam glue and it didn't work at all.  Just go with your trusty glue gun, it won't let you down. I think it's pretty self-explanatory by looking at the picture.  You just punch circles out from the scrap paper.  Then hot glue th...

Birthday Week!

This week is my birthday week, or should I say birth week.  However that sounds too much like birthing is occurring and that is not the case.  (Don't get any ideas, Danny and I have only been married for 5.5 months.)  Anyway, I firmly believe in celebrating birthdays for the whole week, because why not? Talena and I have a tradition each year that is the kick off for my birthday celebration.  You see, Talena and I were born 12 days apart.  On the midpoint day between our birthdays we go out to dinner to celebrate.  We always try to go some where we have never been before.  This year we went to the Citrus Grill, which was very delicious.  (Special thanks to Eliza for recommending the place.)  We had fun dining, laughing and sharing secrets, because that is what girls do. My dinner...doesn't it just make your mouth water. Talena Balena and Me. PS  We did have a funny little mishap with the dessert.  We got strawbe...

One of Those Nights

You know the time when you turn the corner too sharp and gouge one of your toes on the retro 70's border that lines your home and apparently you have really good blood circulation in your feet, because your toe starts bleeding profusely.  In an effort to stop the bleeding, you limp to the kitchen to grab a paper towel to clean up your poor toe only to track blood all over the carpet.  (But then, luckily the husband comes and helps clean up the blood trail, your sad, little toe and gets you a band-aid.)  So once you have recovered from your messy injury, your really nice husband makes you a smoothie to make you feel better, only for you to drip it down the front of you on one of your favorite shirts.  Yeah, it's been one of those nights.  Sigh. In other news, last week I went to the musical "Little Women" with Talena.  I wrote a review for the Utah Theater Bloggers Association, which you can read here .  It's been awhile since I've done any reviewin...
