A Few Things...

*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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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...

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...

The End of the Road

There is a time when things fulfill their purpose and that is how I've been feeling with this blog of mine. When I started it, I needed my own little spot to share my thoughts and random stuff I found online. However, having two blogs has become excessive. It has been a good run (me and this little blog) and thanks for joining me. For now on, I will just be posting on my family blog . It's a private blog, but send me a message or a request if you would like to view it. Thanks to those who have taken the time to read my silly thoughts or look at pictures of my cute kiddo or some craft I made. It means a lot to me. Signing off, Jannifer

Things that brought me joy this week

This past week was Melina's birthday!  Since she lives far away, Talena and I put together a hula party in a box and mailed it to her.  We found all of these treasures at the dollar section at the front of Target.  My favorite moment was when we heard a lady gripe about how the discount section was full of a bunch of useless stuff that no one would buy.  At that very moment we turned the corner, with our hand basket full of awesome stuff we had found.  We just smiled. The party supplies The party agenda I was having a bit of a low evening and Danny suggested we go get my latest craving Sonic blasts.   (Ice cream + candy + whipped cream.)  I know you aren't supposed to feed sorrows with food, but this particular evening I made an exception.  Whoever made that Sonic blast was heaven sent.  It had more Reese's peanut butter cups than actual ice cream.  It's like they sensed my heavy heart and tried to heal it with choc...
