Late February Randomness



 Just look at these two.  You'd think they were best friends.  Not so.  At least, not so about 50% of the time.  The other 50% of the time they are besties.  I guess we couldn't ask for much more from a psychotic girl cat with hormonal problems and a tease of a boy cat.  ;)  That isn't a great picture, but those are the cute lil' curtains that Mom taught me to make while we were in Ohio for Christmas.  They turned out really cute!  I have yet to put actual pillows in the pillow cases I made along with it.  One thing at a time.  Haha.  

Lately I have had no life.  I feel like I have reverted back to my 3 year old days when I didn't have any big responsibilities and doing things like going swimming for an hour was the highlight of my week.  I am still swimming every day but Sunday, and while I'm in the water I feel great!  Then I get out.  And I DON'T ANYMORE.  Haha.  Phoenix is slowly dropping down into the birth canal and he is raising hell in my groin and lower back.  I'm not really upset about it, because it means that I'll give birth soon (HOORAY!) but it just is painful and annoying and all I can do is clean the kitchen and living room and then slump down into the lazy boy with a movie.  I have never watched so many movies in my life!   I am really ridiculous with movies.  I have like 15 movies that I LOVE.  When we want to watch a movie, I will almost ALWAYS choose one of those.  The list is something like this:

Harry Potter 1 or 7
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Emperor's New Groove
LOTR
Clue
Indian Jones
Jurassic Park
Independence Day
Tron
Signs
K-PAX
The Goonies
My Name Is Khan
Tangled
Serendipity
Empire of the Sun
The Power of One
The Sound of Music
Singing in the Rain

So now that I have watched almost all of these recently,  I am now broadening my horizons.  With the new movies I am watching, I mostly get the first half and then have to watch the second half later because I almost always fall asleep through the movie.  I am so lame.  

Anyway, speaking of cleaning...Which I did... a lot earlier in this post...  I thought I would post an Instagram shot I took of how I cook dinner when onions are involved.  


Haha!  And in the message under the picture I added the #Totalwuss.  Cause I am!  I CAN NOT handle chopping onions or sauteing them unless I have my physiology lab glasses on. Haha!  But apparently it runs in the family, cause my dad weeps over onions when he is working with them too!  So.  With the many crazy things that are hereditary, I think onion issues is one of the least of my concerns ;)


 Look here!  All you Doctor Who fans, I pulled into these people's driveway and got out to get a good pic of these "Weeping Angels".  These are about 5 days old and literally are weeping as they melt in this great weather we have had.  So if you haven't watch Doctor Who, you should try it sometime, you would have a good stash of funny one-liners if you did.



Speaking of the nice weather we have had,  Josh and Caleb went fly fishing on the Provo River on Saturday.  They each caught two fish and came home with a little sunburn :)  They had a good time!  Josh is trying to get out to the river more, lately.  He is a good fisherman, but he really, really enjoys it.  It's a great release from grad school and the daily do's.  


I gotta be honest.  I don't have hardly any friends in Provo.  Everyone is so busy with their kids and their life and in this new ward, I really don't fit in well.  Once I have Phoenix, I'm sure I will have more in common with the women...  Well.  At least one thing in common with them (a baby!).  So maybe I will find some friends that way.  But in the meantime, this awesome mommy has kept me company a lot :)  She even came down to my house in Provo to visit me!  She talks to me on the phone almost every day.  I don't know what I would do without her.  I thought this picture was the cutest EVER and I had to post it!  This is Em and James and yes she is in his crib and I can't decide which one of them likes being in there better!  Haha!  If we never get to live close to each other in this life (which hopefully won't happen), then I am building my mansion in heaven right next to her's.

  1. Hang in there Shannon. I am afraid we wouldn't be very good movie companions. Not much on your list that entices me. Love the postings. Thinking of you these next few weeks.
