Our Weekend

I'm am really slacking with the photo taking and blogging lately because I'm really not enjoying this laptop situation; everything feels more difficult (I think I was spoiled by my good set up before) so I kind of dread being on the computer and really haven't gotten back to my normal blogging ways.

I didn't take any pictures of our Conference-watching set up this time and we really didn't do anything festive. I didn't print out Conference packets for the kids and we didn't have anything particularly tasty to eat (the kids made popcorn). I think it just snuck up on me this time around so I didn't really prepare anything and didn't care to do so. Hmm.

I finally got my hair done on Saturday! It had been since BEFORE Thanksgiving! I also got my eyebrows waxed (it had been about a year) and confessed to my stylist that I'd lost control of them. She said, "Oh Jilly, yes you did."


Randy and Landon went to the Priesthood Session and out to dinner, so Whitney and I went to the movies (at the cheap theater) to see "Gnomeo and Juliet". I suppose it was rather funny, but going to the cheap theater means crappy seats way too close to the screen so I didn't love it.


Sunday morning we woke up to blowing snow (April can be so cruel).


It just wouldn't be spring if the daffodils didn't get beat up and covered in snow at some point.

We spent the day in our jammies watching Conference and hanging out together, then Lori came over for dinner and Family Home Evening (she does every Sunday evening). We usually watch The Amazing Race all together and were seriously bummed to find that it wasn't on because of a Country Music Award show. It shouldn't be such a crushing blow, but we all adore that show and like watching it together so it really was a blow.

**How was your weekend?
Do you watch The Amazing Race?
How's your blogging mojo these days?**

I only took a couple of pictures the whole weekend, and they were of the donuts. (I only realized this when it was all over.) Rats. I hate when I do that.

My blogging mojo is not what it used to be, that's for sure. I am only able to keep with about 6 blogs right now!

I can't believe how much more snow we got than you! When we woke up, we had been dumped on, and it continued snowing on and off throughout the day. Also, our daffodils haven't bloomed yet!

Despite having cramps and a few tantrums from Eva, it was still a great weekend. Conference has a way of doing that for me.

I always love the pictures of your white chairs. They just seem to be waiting for someone to sit in them and chat

My blogging mojo is craptastic. I have no real interest in blogging or even reading most blogs.

It's always terrible when one of the shows you look forward to gets bumped! A good tv show is such a valuable pleasure.

Blowing snow in April is terrible.

It seems the blog world has been ebbing lately. Our spring break is this week and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. I'm excited for you to get yours.

Natasha said...

You seem kinda down and I'm sad you lost your blogging mojo. But I certainly understand! Spring break is definitely something for you to look forward too!

Melinda said...

I am so happy about spring break next week. We really need the break.

I can't believe that is all the snow you got. We woke up to 6 inches and we still have a ton of it on the ground.

Blake and I watch the AR and we were sad also it wasn't on. Were rooting for the cowboys.

I am so off on my blogging mojo. It would be really hard if I didn't have my computer.

I have photos of snow covered daffodils too! Sure sign of conference weekend.

I have to admit the toxic relationships on The Amazing Race turned me off to it and Kelly has started to watch it without me. I've also learned that I'm a wimp and can't tolerate most of the world, even if I find it beautiful and fascinating.

Today will be my fifth day in a row blogging- I think that means I'm finding my blog mojo again, though it rarely lasts.

To me, the worst thing about the cheapie movie theater is the stale popcorn smell and the floors that your feet stick to--not to mention what might be/have been on the chair upon which you're sitting. Mark and I went all out and paid full price to see The King's Speech, which was definitely worth it.

I'm starting to regain a bit of my post-musical blogging mojo. Susan gave me a refurbished laptop for my birthday and I'm in heaven because I don't have to take a number to wait for a turn on the family computer.

Well, I had some great mojo going there for a while, then the toddler line-drived nail polish at my computer screen and cracked it.

My mojo is now broken, as well as my screen.

Le sigh.

I hope you're well. Love you!

I love conference weekend. However, I found myself in the kitchen most of the time rushing to prepare the next tasty delight. I think I need to change that.

I love, love, love the Amazing Race and wish that we would have gone on that while Jason was out of work for that year. However, it might have played out pretty ugly (or entertaining - depends on how you look at things) on tv...

I have decided that since my move I no longer am inspired to do my third person thursday... I have to creativity anymore.

ps - you going to Women's conference this year?

Tasha said...

I'm trying to blog because I'm, lonely and it keeps me a bit connected.
I've been thinking about you and hoping you are feeling better and better. Love your daffodils!

Amie said...

Our weekend was good. I don't watch the Amazing Race. And... you know I've lost my mojo.

Rebekah said...

Blogging mojo...I'm scraping some together after many months in the deficit.

You really have been getting some Spring snow in Utah. Fun/frustrating.
