rolls and honey butter...

so i volunteered to make rolls for today's dinner at paula's... scept, ive never made rolls by myself... its always been kelsey's job! but i decided it was time for me to learn.... 'sides its my number 4 on my to do list... lol [do i get to check it off yet? i havent perfected it yet... lol]. so i was a little bit nervous making them... i texted kelsey a few times to make sure everything was going the way it was supposed to.... hahah!! [and thanks kels!] and they did turned out alright. i think the little shelf things in the oven were too low... the bottoms are a little dark... whoops. so i made honey butter [lion house honey butter nonetheless] to try to cover up any mistakes of first time rolls... hopefully paula and fam like them... i'll let you know! :)




psst... everybody loved them!! :) they did taste mighty yummy!!

i love books....

so danielle and i finally went and got library cards!! :) and im super excited... i havent been to a public library in a long long time!! it was fun! and the provo city library is super cute! we got some random fun books... danielle and her sci-fi's and i got a novel, it was fun!

this is my card... its a pretty cute one... especially compared to the pima county library cards... lol.

anyway. yay for library cards!! :D

oh and i am missing adrians baby shower... i wish i were there. i really am super bummed....im missing all the baby excitement! i fully expect to see lots of pictures! but its still kinda sad. actually i was watching a baby story on tlc the other day (it comes on right after what not to wear) and the husband (and brand new daddy) came out to tell everybody that it was a girl, and all the grandparents and aunt and uncles were giving him hugs and congratulating him... and i just started thinking about how i wouldnt get to be there for adrian and dustin (not that i would be in the actual hospital when it happened... but afterwards i would be...) but instead im gonna be stuck in utah and it will be a month to a month and a half until i get to see my beautiful little niece and give my hugs to adrian and dustin.... and i almost started to cry.

anyway. im missing my family something fierce today....

but the good news is in 3 days ill be home!! 3!
woohoo!!

im really sorry....

i have been a terrible blogger. i havent really done anything exciting this last little bit though...

i just keep on keeping on.

and its really not actually that cold anymore... it was 66* as i was walking to work today... pretty warm. i kinda like it... the sun is warm but the air is cool, does that make sense? haha... i keep waiting for it to get all types of cold... and it will for a couple days, but then it warms right back up.and it is pretty chilly
at night still...

so im at work right now... dont really have much to blog about. i ate my little snack that constitutes a lunch... its a tuna salad with crackers. i bet people think it is cat food... thats kinda what it looks like, with the can and everything. and then it smells like tuna... even more cat-like. haha. i try to eat it fast... when nobody is around... so they dont think i am weird. lol...oh well.
but it really is quite yummy.


today i had an extra little bit of food... pomegranates!! yummm... danielle and i went to macey's (the grocery store, not the department store) and bought pomegranates, they were on sale. 99 cents. and they are really yummy! but i dont really know "the technique" for pomegranate peeling.... the juice got everywhere. lol. whoops.


anyway. im glad i could tell you what i had for lunch. hahaha... (oh and i have a water bottle too...)

umm... oh yes.

one week until i am home.
7 days
168 hours
10,080 minutes
604,800 seconds
604,800,000 milliseconds
[approximately]

and i simply cannot wait! :)

its officially cold...

so it did snow wednesday morning.
i woke up to snow!! it was crazy cool!!
it was all melted my 1oam though. bummer.

so it is official. its cold.

so.... i put on my flannel sheets!!
(actually these ones are tino's... so thanks buddy
for letting me borrow them!)
:)
i put my down blanket on too...

and i slept as snug as a bug in a rug last night.

umm...

so i really dont have a title for this post. lol... so we will just begin.

its been really stormy these last few days... and pretty chilly too. it was really rainy all day long... and then started hailing tonight... but it was really soft hail... almost like a slush. it was pretty cool and its supposed to snow tomorrow... and i think its quite likely! and im kinda excited!! :) but it did snow on the mountains... and this is the first time the snow has gotten to the y (granted, its not a lot... but still!!) ... so im thinking we have a good shot at getting snow tomorrow! anyway. ive decided that i have a fairly good tolerance to the cold... as long as i cant see my breath. if i can see my breath, its much too cold. haha... maybe thats not a very good tolerance... lol but still. so... pics!

halloween part 2...

okay. so i was cleaning up my room today and i found the cake mix and icing and sprinkles that my mom gave me when she was here for conference... i meant to make them yesterday... you know, like for halloween... but it was a busy day, so i made them today!

yay for halloween cupcakes!

thanks mama! :)

halloween...

alrighty so last night was halloween!! ...and now its november! crazy!! but... back to halloween---danielle and i found these seriously cool eyelashes in the beginning of october... it might have actually been the end of september. they are so wicked sweet we just had to get them. and we were trying to figure out what we could do with them... after thinking of many ideas we decided to be bugs... danielle was a butterfly and i was ladybug...oh and jared was the stick bug. which absolutely made me laugh... i thought it was awesome! he was the best stick bug ive ever seen! but seriously, mine and dans costumes were amazing! (i didnt get a halloween last year...the last time was the year before, with danielle actually... and we were both superheros... with wicked sweet eyelashes then too!) danielle painted her wings and i made my little ladybug back out of felt and posterboard and newspaper. prett sweet! so we got all dressed up to go to our ward party... which actually was a tri-ward party. it was pretty cool... they had the standard lame mormon approved dance songs... like freaking cotton eye joe. i hate that song. but it was fun anyway... there were a lot of fun costumes. this one guy was kuzco... hahah. anyway. after that we rented an american haunting and watched it at jareds apartment....
all in all it was a good halloween. :)

happy halloween!
from the cutest little suzie bug ever... :)
