A Few Things...

Image
By
*In my effort to multitask at work, I was instant messaging with a friend and sending an email when my phone rang.  Thinking I could handle throwing another task in the mix, I picked up the phone.  I usually answer, “Hi this is Jannifer.”  But some how in my distracted state I eliminated a few words and said, “Hi Jannifer”.  There was confused silence from the other end when I realized what I said and started laughing really hard.  Luckily the caller was a cool co-worker who could laugh along at my mistake.  I promised him at the end of our conversation that I would learn better phone skills in preparation for the next time he calls.

*The unpacking continues.  Yesterday I moved the pots and pans three times until I was somewhat satisfied with their placement, at least for today anyway.  This might take awhile.  Also, yesterday Danny and I were going to heat up some leftovers when we realized we didn't have a microwave.  We didn't notice this among all the boxes, haha.

*Something I’m really excited about is a desk Danny and I found at the DI.  We got it so I could have a place to work on crafts and such. It is a hideous pinkish/red right now (probably the color of one’s kidney), but we are going to do a little sanding and painting.  I will post what it looks like after the beautification process.

*Also, I didn’t help much with this Mormon Message; however, it is so sweet.  It has quotes from one of my favorite talks from last conference by Elder Richard G. Scott.

    So do you not have a microwave in your new apartment, or is it just that you couldn't find it? Have fun unpacking.
    And thanks for that Mormon Message clip; it was so sweet.

    That's awesome Janni!! I have answered the phone with random greetings at work before! :) Glad it was a cool co-worker! The worst is when you say, "Love you, bye!" To a not very well known person on the phone :) :) And I'm super excited to see your kidney colored desk :)

Oh Crafty Trees, Oh Crafty Trees...

By
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!

By
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...

8 Months!

By
Smiling at Daddy Showing Mr. Lion who's boss. Milestones: New food this month: Carrots, Peas, Oatmeal, Prunes, Green beans, Squash He's really interested in making different noises and sounds with his mouth. I feel like he is watching us intently trying to figure it out. ("It" meaning talking.) He hasn't started to crawl yet, but he has gotten up on all fours. He finally rolled from his back to his stomach. He's been rolling the other way for months now. He doesn't like being on his stomach, so he avoided rolling to that position for a really long time. First St. Patrick's Day, because that's a big deal. Likes: At the beginning of the month, he liked to grab my face and bring it really close to his and yell. Apparently, it is a fun game. His favorite toys are his toy guitar from his Aunt Michele, his toy car from his Aunt Katie and Uncle Tim and he really likes his stackable rings. The vacuum. It is a fascinating specime...
