Tuesday Tidbits--Phone Photo Style

I've used a bunch of these photos on Instagram, but want them to be on my blog for proper documentation for myself, plus I'm writing more details.

In the past, if I didn't have a nice friend or family member bringing me lunch I would just eat at my desk while I worked so I got paid for that time. But this year at work they're "forcing" us to take a half hour lunch break. I've been going to my car so I can read and be alone for 30 minutes, so far I really enjoy that time.

One morning last week I woke up an hour late (#$@!) which meant I was scrambling to get ready quickly (no time to shave my legs or do my post hair drying cool down) so Randy ran to McDonald's to get my Coke for me...this saved my bacon and put a big deposit in my emotional bank account.

I'm not sure what game Whitney was playing, but she rigged up some swings under Landon's loft bed and had dolls dangling from them. I'd like to see inside her mind some time so I could understand what's going on in there.

I was mighty excited to get this coupon in the mail announcing Rita's Water Ice coming to American Fork. I sampled this goodness back in September 2005 when I went to Pennsylvania with Michelle but never dreamed we'd get one here. Lori and I actually went to try it out but found the store still under construction.

I was messing around taking pictures of Landon and made this one his profile picture so I see it every time he calls me, too funny.

I got my hair cut and colored on my day off last Tuesday; it was glorious to get it done during the week and not on a Saturday.

After being unable to find the soap refill flavor I like best at Target or Wal-Mart I finally got smart and ordered it on Amazon. Now I have 6 large bottles of it and won't be running out any time soon!

Whitney keeps writing the name of the boy she likes (she liked him all last school year too) on her hand. This is not very subtle, especially since they ride the same bus and have a class together.

Landon is seriously embracing his new phone and is a text master already. Yikes!!

I texted him this image I found on Pinterest as a reminder.

Whitney and Madison made slime and entertained themselves with it all afternoon.

Landon officially has a lady friend!

Adam, Amy, Lori, Randy and I went to dinner and then to hang out at Lori's house the other night. We had some good conversation as we tried to answer life's questions.

These are the books I'm currently reading.

Whitney is in an Intro to Foreign Language class which means she gets 6 weeks of French, 6 weeks of German and 6 weeks of Spanish. She is currently in the French portion and had some pretty challenging homework which involved listening to French pronunciation on the computer and spelling words from it. It seems pretty advanced for the an Intro class but after spending some time with her while she did it I came away thinking she is going to learn way, way more than I did back when I took French in the precomputer era.

Randy drew this picture and said, "This is what Whitney will look like in her military school uniform". We have taken to threatening her with the prospect of attending some sort of military school back East if she doesn't become a cleaner, more responsible member of our family. We think this is hilarious, especially when she looks at us in disbelief and says "Quiet fools!". I really should price them out!
