Fun Stuff

A few fun things have occurred in my life lately, which I thought I would share via pictures...

Fun Stuff #1:  The Banff Film Festival
Honesty, I find the arrival of the Banff Film Festival World Tour to SLC more exciting than the Sundance Film Festival.  (Gasp.)  Not only has this film festival put Banff on my bucket list of places to visit, but it brings some of the coolest outdoorsy films to Utah.  The husband and I went one evening (on a date!) and watched a film about a nine-year old girl who is a champion rock climber, another film about paragliding off of Mount Everest, and another about conservation efforts on the coast of Oregon, plus more.  Very cool.

A more professional picture, I totally have a crush on the guitar player.
Fun Stuff #2:  Danny being invited to play at his friends' gig
Remember how I recently mentioned Danny's buddies band Jumbie.  Those cool kids invited Danny to be a guest guitarist at their last show.  Of course Danny rocked, because that is what he does.  They had one excitable, dancing crowd.  I was happy to sit back and enjoy the good tunes.  That makes me sound old. (Compared to all of the college kids there, I was.)


Fun Stuff #3:  Finally getting a Library card
I've been meaning to get a library card for like, umm, 2 years.  Better late than never.  Honestly, I've had a gift card to Barnes and Noble for quite awhile, so whenever I wanted a book, I'd go buy it.  Aw, the luxuries of life.  However, that gift card ran dry, which is ok because that gave me the extra push to take a jaunt down to our little library branch and get my own card.  I'm looking forward to the great books that are in my future.


Fun Stuff #4:  Take-out Indian Food
Indian Food I didn't have to make + The Husband + Netflix = One Happy Jannifer

Fun Stuff #5:  Girly Winter Party
My creative friend Elizabeth threw a little girls-only winter party with chatting, games, chatting, prizes, chatting, silver and white decorations, twinkle lights, chatting and yummy treats (as seen above).  It was a fun evening out and my introverted self even got to know some new people.

    Question: What are chatting prizes? Sounds fun! I love your pretty red fingernail polish! Random, I know. Wish we could have heard Danny jam with his buddies!

    Jannifer, Grampa and I went to Banff in 1971. It was awesome, and that was even without a film festival. I think you would like it there. I'm glad you finally got a library card. Even if they don't have what you want at the library, you can get almost anything through inter-library loan.

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...

Blogging is still cool, right?

By
I woke up this morning missing my blog. My very early 2000's blog. I had one called The Life of Jannifer during my 20's/single years. Then I had this one from 2010 - 2015 during my early married years. Then I have a website janniferwood.com where I tried to show I'm a serious writer. I still have that website and I'm still trying to show that I'm a serious writer. However, I missed my place of silliness, this little blog. Or I miss being younger, one of the two. Why not post after 7 years?  Also, I find the title of this blog funny because there are a select few people in my life who call me Jan. Most of them are family members or old friends. The even rarer is Janni, which is reserved for some of my nephews and a few other loved ones. My given name, Jannifer, is usually what I go by, but this also tends to be the most confusing for some reason. That whole A and not E throws people. So, I'll stick with Jan on this one.
