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 reviewing for them.  In a nutshell, the musical was good, but the book is way better.  However, doesn't it kill you when Jo rejects Laurie?!  It gets me every time.  (Sorry if that was a spoiler for anyone who doesn't know the story of Little Women.)

  1. Oh, I hate it when I stub my toe or drip something on my shirt that usually stains it forever!!! That stinks! I hope your toe is better. I'm glad Danny is such a sweetheart and did his best to make you feel better! Did the blood stains come out of the carpet? I hope so! I agree with you, I have no idea why Jo rejected Laurie! Doesn't make much sense! Oh well, guess she had to follow her heart! Joseph was such a good husband and watched the 6 hour Collin Firth Pride and Prejudice with me! It was such fun! He prefers the shorter, newer version though! :)

  2. Luckily the stains came out of the shirt and carpet. And my toe is ok, I just have to wear sandals for a few days, because shoes hurt. Wow, Joseph is great to have watched the long Pride and Prejudice. Danny has handled watching the shorter version with me, but we haven't tackled the 6 hour one.

  3. Lydia read Little Women last year and hated it, especially about her sister. I had to tell her that it was patterned after Alcott's life so sadly. Hope you have a better day tomorrow!

  4. Erin - You mean about her sister, Beth? Also, so sad. And today is going better, thanks!

  5. I enjoyed your review, Jannifer. Wish I could see the musical in the park with the crickets sweetly chirping. I guess I'm super lucky because Dad is great about watching those kinds of movies with me. We both love them!
    I can empathize with your stubbed toe and stained shirt. On my birthday I spilt orange juice and ice cream on my blouse. I felt like I was ready for the nursing home. I'm glad to see that younger people do that too!

  7. Mama Wood - Thanks and next time you are in town, I'll let you know if I'm reviewing any more musicals. Perhaps you can accompany me. And your story made me feel a little bit better. :)

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

Blogging is still cool, right?

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.
