1. Tulip season is coming to an end, which bums me out since I've enjoyed them so much this year. I will definitely be planting lots more in the fall though because the spring happiness they bring is so therapeutic.
2. Whitney and her cute friend Madison are so darling together. They've been best friends since kindergarten, and even though they're not in the same class at school this year, they have still managed to stay close. This is how I found them yesterday afternoon (I have never once sat upside down in those chairs).
3. After having the invitation to my high school reunion on my desk for over a month I finally wrote my response and mailed it back. I guess I'd be thinking I might end up going, but we're having our 2nd annual Girl's Getaway weekend to celebrate my mom's birthday that same weekend, and upon deciding not to go to the reunion I felt totally relieved. I guess I didn't really want to go, I just want to have another trip to see Betsy.
4. Patsy was in Provo all day yesterday for the big PTA Conference (remember I went last year?), so we arranged to get together for dinner on her way home.
We had a the best burgers ever and 2 hours of good conversation at JCW's last night, she is always a delight.
5. Not so delightful was waking up at 2:30am feeling ravenous (that's way beyond hungry people). I found myself taking blurry pictures of my middle of the night meal (I wasn't about to turn on the bright kitchen light for the sake of a clear photo) so as to document my the craziness of it all. Did you know the Snap, Crackle and Pop noise is really loud in a totally quiet house at night? Why am I waking up in the night to eat? Good grief!
**Will you plant tulip bulbs this fall?
Don't you just love a best friend?
Are you ever surprised by the relief
you feel after a decision is made?
Isn't that burger picture beautiful?
Do you ever wake up in the night to eat?**

I have enjoyed the tulips this year as well and plan to plant some this fall- finally!
Those girls on that chair = awesome.
The relief after a difficult decision is bliss. I usually can make decisions pretty fast off my gut feeling- but when I ruminate, it sucks.
I want a burger from JCW's so bad right now, and then I come here and see this fodder! Torture...Jill, torture. Fun to see Patsy :)
I totally wake up sometimes to eat! I always feel like such a stereotype of the chubby girl eating in the middle of the night. Cereal usually wins for me at 2am.
I didn't think it was possible to come up with a header I love as much as the one with the stamps.... but this one is it!
SO GReat!
I wish I could do one...?
I love that whitney has such a close friend- what a delight!
I didn't go to my reunion either & I didn't want to go. I wish I would have in some ways, but I feel like I am so different now - like that was so long ago, not even me, but some other person??
thanks for the great dinner & conversation last night! it was great to get together :)
We may be planting more daffodils than tulips this fall since the deer ate most our tulips- I know I mentioned that already, but I'm still mad! If I want tulips, I apparently have to find cougar urine to scare off the deer!!#@*
I could TOTALLY go for a hamburger right now!
i have a hard time with decision making. it's like a lifetime struggle- and generally, i now feel relief after making one. that has been a learned process. usually, i just still felt anxious!!
i don't even know if tulip bulbs would survive fall here!!!
ah, those childhood best friends are the best, too....
i need that hamburger!!! YESTERDAY!
and yes- i have been known to wake up in the middle of the night to eat. generally when i'm stressed and/or pregnant.
I am planting a ton of bulbs this fall. I am tearing out the old since they have been overgrown with our plants. I planted the first bulbs before anything had grown.
Why do you keep torturing with the JCW's? Are you trying to rub it in that you live so close to 2 of them??
Sorry, the only time I have woken up to eat is when I am prego.
Hmmmm. The only time I wake up ravenous in the middle of the night is WHEN I'M PREGNANT.
(raising of brow)
(smirk)
(wonder, wonder)
I am so NOT pregnant, though my appearance may indicate otherwise!
I totally miss bulb flowers here in FL.
Yes, I made a huge decision (Thanks to Elder Perry's talk at BYUWC) and it feels good to not be in limbo over it.
And best friends... they are the best!
What cracks me up is not that you got up in the middle of the night to eat, but that you automatically documented the experience, probably in a half-conscious stupor. You are a true blogger.
I love tulips, but they have such a short season. I feel like this year I have loved them more than usual!?
I have NEVER woken up in the middle of the night to eat. I do wake up hungry (that naseous kind of hungry) in the morning and have to eat immediately. But I cannot sleep if my stomach is too full. I wake up naseous and with a stomach ache every time (or just can't fall asleep!)
I love tulips! I planted some this last fall and have been anxiously waiting for them to come up. Last week they were all about to bloom and Ry pulled all of their heads off. Every single one!
I haven't been particularly ravenous, but I am very snacky lately. I hate it!
missy i dare you to go out there and sit up side down and take a picture, I think it looks totally fun! hey, rice krispies for a quiet night...that is funny, they are quite loud in a whispery kind of way. i love tulips I still have those 12 red ones on hold in pottery barn....i just need 76 dollars to go and get them...they are GORGEOUS! .......I haven't really made a decision at all in a long haul, and feel that probably the anxiety of it all would diminish....I want to go get a burger with you and then hang up side down....they look delicious, but I think most of all is the therapeutic conversation that goes with it.
I haven't really woken up....I did have a bowl of choco-pebbles on one of those days...late late late at night! it was glorious.
So cute, that pic of Whitney and Madison. Luci has 13 second grade classes at her school so she hardly ever gets in the same class with a friend twice but luckily for her she never meets a stranger.
Luci mailed Whitney a letter today telling her that she is on goodreads.com and she asked Whitney to do it. Just wanted to warn you in case you want to intercept. I am 100% against her doing Myspace, etc. but I am okay with Goodreads - for now. Her book club is doing a pod cast tomorrow and she is psyched!
Your tulips are beautiful.
I am on day 15 of my no snacking after dinner but man that cereal looks tasty!
The problem with tulips is the delayed gratification! I never put in bulbs in the fall, and I always regret it in the spring.
(I had to google JCW - interesting results.)
This is the first time in a long while that I have actually come to your blog to comment. I usually just read it in Google Reader. I know, I know. Shame on me! Anyhow, I love a wonderfully spring-y it is!
I saw you in Costco today at the photo counter. I should have said hi but I felt silly. Anyhow, "Hi!" Hope your day was great.
I love tulips, though I don't have a place to plant any of my own. But I did go to the Tulip Festival twice this year!
Love the pic of the girls in the chair! So cute.
I have no desire at all to go to my high school reunion. Bleh.
There is nothing like a good burger. Period.
I did not get a very good tulip season here, as the deer ate every. single. one. of my tulips!! The daffodils were a bit behind in our yard and not all of them bloomed, it was really weird. So I feel cheated out of my tulips this year! If we manage to move into a new place this summer, I will definitely be planting tulips in the fall!
I can so relate to the relief that comes from a well-made decision. I am sure that you will have more fun with your mom and sisters anyway!
The burger does look good!! I've never been to a JCW's. We just don't have the food choices that Utah has.
I usually do not wake up in the night to eat. If I wake up hungry I try to make myself hold off or drink some water.
Hi Jill! I saw your blog on Ann On and On, thought I'd stop by to say hello! When I read your "about me," I felt like you were talking about me :-)
That burger looks juicy-licious, indeed! I would like one right now.
I know what you mean about putting off a decision about a social event and then being relieved when it is resolved for you. Why does it takes us that long to realize that we really didn't want to do it in the first place?
