Weekend Highs and Lows

Highs
  • Danny got me a pre-Valentine's bouquet on Friday, because I had such a hectic week last week.  How sweet.
  • Friday night = Date night
  • Sleeping in on Saturday.
  • I got to video chat with Melina, my wonderful friend that is living on the other side of the world right now.
  • Visiting my mom and dad.  Plus, I left with so many gifts ranging from small appliances to sheet music.  Well, I have to give the sheet music back.
  • Game night at Mary's!  Danny's uncle was in town, so we all got together.  The nephew and niece (JM and Lady L) were super cute that night as well.  We had fun.
  • Remember how my old ward was dissolved last year?  Part of my calling is visiting different wards in our stake and I got to go to the ward that took in half of my old ward.  I was so happy to see old friends and some of the kids I taught in primary.
Lows
  • Since I had such a hectic week last week (many nights I didn't get home until 10pm) I was super cranky on Friday night. Poor Danny.  I got better as the night went on.
  • You know when you go to a new place to eat and you really want to like it, but than it disappoints?  We went to Flatbread Neapolitan Pizzeria, that just opened up in the area a week ago.  Our pizza came completely charred black on the bottom.  We should have complained, but we had waited long enough for our food that we didn't want to wait  any longer.  Maybe we will give it another try, in hopes for a redeeming experience, but hard to say.
  • I'm going to sound a bit unneighborly.  For the past couple months, the apartment next door which we share a wall with has been vacant.  On Saturday morning we woke up to a moving truck outside our door.  We have new neighbors, whom I'm sure are very nice.  However, I've been reminded how much you can hear next door, sigh. 
  • Sunday = so many meetings, so many.

    I know what you mean about the neighbors. We were spoiled when the neighboring house was vacant for over a year. But just so you know, the two nights you were here the dogs were barking because it was garbage day; they're not always that bad. I hope you'll get used to your new neighbors. Who knows? You may need to borrow some sugar one day!

      Our neighbor seems to be pretty cool. I haven't met him, but Danny has. I hear his music every once in awhile, but it seems he has good taste in music, so I don't mind too much.

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

Hello Sunshine

  I've had the book The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron on my bookshelf for a couple of years now. It is a program that is supposed to connect you to your inner creativity. It may sound a little out there, but sometimes I try out there stuff. So after reading the first chapter, I thought, why not? Creative endeavors always feed my soul and as of late, my soul needs some feeding. Part of the program is to take yourself on a weekly artist date. Dating myself to connect to my inner creativity? Younger versions of myself may have laughed at this, but the mom version of myself is excited about the idea of time alone .  In pure defiance of the snow I have seen almost daily for months, for my first artist date, I decided to get a pedicure. I mostly was there for the foot massage, but I figured if I make my toes sandal ready, then surely the weather will take the hint and spring will start making its appearance. (I know, I know, we need the snow, we are in a drought. All the lakes a d...
