Pet peeve

I know this is silly, but it drives me nuts. for whatever reason my debit/credit card strip wears out fast. (Iknow, I know, maybe I use it too much) I order new ones from the bank and it wears out and never works when the cashier goes to swipe it. That's not even the part that frustrates me. What frustrates me is that I let them try to swipe it and then when it doesn't I always say "you will have to type the number in because the strip is bad" the they take a plastic bag and wrap my card in it and try to run it over and over and over again. I have NEVER seen this work, but almost everyone tries it and they get this look on their face like they have this special magic trick that they know and noone else does. So, i have to stand there and watch them try their "trick" and then eventually just type it in like I said to do in the first place. Again, not a big deal, BUT OH MY GOSH JUST TYPE IT IN.

I am super excited to do this. My sister is organizing the swap and it should be fun. Check it out and participate!!!!! Don't be a weenie!

Twilight

Okay, so I just got home from the Twilight sneek preview!!! I don't want to say to much in case you are going to see it. I don't want to spoil anything. But, It was very exciting to get to go see it.

SOOOO FUNNY!

This cracks me up. justin timberlake is so funny in this skit. he is almost too good a dancer in the skit, maybe a little too into it. LOL

We had such a fun night on Friday. Thursday was Brenna birthday and Friday was my niece Keelin's birthday. We had a slumber party at a hotel. We first went to American Girl at Northpoint Mall. That store is crazy. They have everything for dolls. Ear piercing, hair salon, a restaurant, etc. you name they've got it. It's not really cheap either. But, it's really adorable. I offered to buy Bella a small treat this was her reply "I only like Disney". Little stinker. Have you ever seen that show My Super Sweet Sixteen? I hope my daughter is not a future star of that show. After American Girl we went to Pf Chang's for dinner. So yummy! Then it was back to the hotel for cake and presents. We woke up on Saturday and swam in the pool. It was so much fun I think we should do it once a month!

Happy Birthday Brenna!

Happy Birthday To my beautiful awesome sister, Brenna!
5 things I love about Brenna:
1. she is an amazing Mom. She really is. She really thinks about things and tries very hard to do the best for her kids. She has a lot of patience with her two little boys. Both are under the age of 4.
2.She is a great big sister! I remember one time when we were kids that she was babysitting Kelli and I and I ran from the street to our front door which was down hill and I fell and smaked my face on the sidewalk. I screamed (I USED to be a little dramatic) and cried. She hugged me and gave me a big glass of Coke. i remember her saying Coke makes everything better. I think she was desperatly trying to get me to calm down so she wouldn't get in trouble with Mom. But, I didn't know it at the time.
3. She cans stuff. I think there is probably a better way to put it, but I can't think of one. She cans all different things from tomato jam to veggies from her garden. I think it is really really neat. I have always wanted to try it and I love that she figured it out.
4. She is a very talanted artist. I have always admired that. She is so creative.
5. She loves to read. i love that both of my sisters love to read. It's so much fun to pass around a book we love and get to talk about it and get excited about it. (when does the SHopaholic movie come out?)

I know this isn't new, but...

I know this isn't a new video and everybody has probably seen it, but it still makes me laugh. There is not way you cannot be in a better mood after watching this. I just wish I was that cordinated. I almost fall down on a treadmill at a slow walk. Lol

Fall

Yesterday, I was on the front porch and Bella was playing in the front yard. I looked over and she was laying flat on her back looking straight up into a big beautiful tree. I hadn't noticed until then how pretty the tree is. I guess I need to look around sometimes. I got my camera and layed down next to her. It was just so pretty. We just layed there looking at the trees and sky. I felt really grateful that we live in such a beautiful place.
