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

The Christmas Box

Remember how forever ago I said I would post a tutorial on how to fold these cute boxes.  Sigh, life is busy.  But I am here to fulfill my promise, even if it is a bit belated.  We had a Super Saturday at church with classes we could take.  My awesome friend, Becky, taught us how to create these, so I give her all the credit. What you need, paper, scissors, ruler pencil and some type of adhesive. 1.On the blank side of your paper draw an X from each corner, using a ruler. 2. Fold the bottom corner to the  center. 3. Fold the bottom corner one more  time up to the center. 4. Now you are  going to do the exact  two folds from steps 2 and 3 to the  opposing top corner, so your  paper will look like this. 5.  Unfold your paper and make the same folds to left and right corners that haven't been folded yet.  So once again, fold the point to the middle. 6.  Do a second fold to th...
