Happy St. Patrick's Day

Its corned beef, cabbage, and root beer for us tonight.

Hope you have a great St. Patty's Day!

Easter Dress

Did you get a Easter Dress (or outfit) every year as a little kid? I did, my mother would always take me shopping a few weeks before Easter and "let" me pick out a new dress - and by "let" I mean she picked it out! You see I always wanted the dresses that come with the little white hat and well I guess Marsha thought the white hat style was tacky - however, once she let me get gloves, I was in heaven - I must of looked like a little southern bell.



Anyway, my point - I want an Easter Dress this year! However, I don't know that I can justify the purchase. One must hold up tradition though, right?

Snow Prompted Letters

Dear Arlington County,

I want to thank you for the stellar job you are doing in cleaning up the great white mess. I especially want to thank you for hauling away some of the 6 foot snow piles lining my street. However, was it necessary to begin work on said piles at 2:30 am? The snow would have still been there in the morning. Also, my water smells/tastes like a swimming pool, what is with that?

P.S. If you need a new Health Educator over at the Health Dept. I'm your gal!

Dear Deseret Industries on 7th East in SLC,

Do you remember those nearly perfect Sorel Snow Boots that I donated in August? I would like them back! You see I was under the impression that I was moving to an area that did not get a lot of snow, I was wrong.

(yeah that's a car)

Dear Vancouver,

We have your snow. If you still need some for the Olympics we would be happy to share.

Dear Snow,

I am ready for you to go away, you have made us lazy. With no school and no where to go we have not made it out of bed before 9:00 am all week. It is time for you to leave and for us to get our acts together.

One year older, but wiser?

I had a birthday in January and while I am really not thrilled to be 27, it is just a little to close to 30, I am completely thrilled with the new bedding which my parents gave me.

LB gave a new pair of black pumps and a grill pan which when paired together is very 1950's domestic diva.

Best weekend in DC yet...

Brit my bf/sister I never had came from Huston, TX this last weekend for a much needed visit! We froze our butts off but had a blast in the process. We managed to pack in most of DC and a lot of calories in 48 hours. On Saturday we checked out the Capital, the monuments, as well as the Natural History Museum and the American History Museum - (where while fighting were asked by the security guard if we were sisters).



Now it is my opinion that visiting the Natural History Museum is the equivalent of a walking nap. However, that was before I had visited it with Brit; she does not have the need to read every single plaque and contemplate the meaning of life - it was refreshing.

My favorite stuffed critter at the Natural History Museum - an verry tiny mouse of some sort -I guess if I read the plaques I would know.

Deidre, Me, & Brit @ The Washington Monument

Deidre met us in DC part way through the day and then came to dinner with us - it was so much fun to hang with my ballet girls, too bad Texas is so far away!

On Sunday we checked out the Newseum, which was amazing!

Us in the 4-D Theatre

The Newseum has several sections on the Berlin Wall and a watch tower from East Germany that you can actually go inside of.

We lucked out and the National Archives were actually open and so we got to view the Magna Carta, The Declaration of Independence, The Constitution, & the Bill of Rights.

Having Brittany come visit made my year, it was like Christmas in January! I forget just how much I love to hang out with her, I really wish we lived closer - maybe someday!

A Big thanks to the Man...

-who chauffeured us around DC, drooping us off at and picking us up at museums so we would not have to walk in the cold

- who made us breakfast and took us out to dinner

-who carried the purses when they got heavy

-who watched the coats and bags during bathroom brakes, and

-who took picture after picture with multiple cameras

LB You Rock!

Still Alive

No worries LB and I are still alive. LB survived his first semester of Law School and we recently made it back from Portland, OR where we spent Christmas with my side of the family. On New Years day we ventured down town with our friends the Speers for some fun at The Natural History Museum and The National Christmas Tree. It was freezing - humidity and wind makes winter so much worse!

So I guess I am back to blogging now - that is if anyone is still reading.

I am taking a break

So I had written a long post explaining why I am taking a break from blogging, maybe you saw it maybe you did not. However, it seams to have come across as a pity party or a poor pitiful me routine, I assure you this was not my intention.

So to put it much simpler, I am going through some things - and I am not blogging for a while - but no worries I'll live.


bye.
