Have I mentioned I hate shopping? I do. I don't mind grocery shopping. I happen to really like food and the thought of combining ingredients to make something yummy is one I like. It's just all the other stuff mostly buying clothes for myself.

Maybe  I am just cheap?  I am fine keeping my cash in my pocket and wearing my worn out out of date t-shirt and jeans.

Maybe it is my self awareness that  I am not fashionable or in style? Nor do I feel like I dress myself well. I think me and fashion or/and style are opposites. In fact I think one of my fantasy unrealistic wishes would be to have someone magically do my shopping for me, picking out things I would look good in, that would fit right, that are the right color and are things I would actually ware with out me having to try them on or go shopping with them.

Maybe it's just that it is late, and I went to Walmart with my kids by myself after eight thirty at night.
 Did  I just put a DUMB sign up on my head?    Yes.  
It wasn't even for clothing items. It was items to so I could finish making presents for people. The thought of going to Walmart is not my favorite but Walmart + Saturday = me thinking death is near, so much so that I delayed putting my kids to bed, and went to Walmart on a Friday night with them.  My sign is flashing now right! 

I think it is just December and even though  I mentioned  I needed to do my Christmas shopping by Thanksgiving, being the extremly mature person I am I rebeled against my self and put it off. And now I am suffering. Ugh.  Don't worry though "it's the most wonderful time of the year!"

I need a t-shirt that reads:
Walmart + Saturday = me thinking death is near

Maybe you do too.

About that sign . . . don't worry, we've all got one.

I still like to scroll down to the post with all the beautiful family photos (including beautiful Roberta in a flowery hat) Everything there is so charming and green. Like a fairy tale.

I this blog, but I miss the link to Glen's blog because I heard there's something funny there.

You should try shopping with my mom. She was amazing to grow up with. We would go to the dressing room and she would bring us all sorts of great items to try and then tell us if they fit right and looked good. She's a wonderful personal shopper.

I want to be your personal shopper! I think it would be fun to hang out with you and find you things that enhance your natural grace and beauty. (I think Kirsta and my mom would be fun to have there too.) I used to be the wardrobe mistress for my sisters and I would love to have a sisters' day with you.

And I SO relate to the Walmart equation. I think it is just Walmart. Also, anything after about 7pm often makes me feel that death is near.

California here we come

By
July 15-19  Early Monday morning we went to the Provo airport to head to John Wayne airport then down to San Diego to celebrate Larry and Janene's 50th wedding anniversary. We met up with everyone but Josh and his girlfriend, Amberlee in Provo. They left earlier and drove so they could visit her family as well. My dad is a bit John Wayne fan so we had to take a picture with The Duke at his airport for him.  Once we had our luggage, rental van and food in our bellies we had to get sand between our toes and salt water at least on our feet. We ate at a fun little place in San Clemente called Cafe Rae. It was really little. Our group of nine took up about half their seats. It was really good food and they had great hospitality.  Our next stop was the USS Midway in San Diego. Larry had talked about visiting this and the Saint Mary for a long time. It was one of the main reasons we went to San Diego. It was nice to make it happen. I am not really in to military stuff but it was...

My cup with blessings overflows

By
 I am trying to get back in the habit of blogging. Before I go to bed, even though I should be in bed here are blessings from this week. I don’t know it I will remember them all there were so many.  Being home to attend church with our ward.  Talks from two sister in our ward, Louisa Jones who is a brand new young woman and Holly Draney who is the Primary President, on Sister Kristin Yee’s conference talk, that complimented each other well.  They reminded me that God is in the details and even when mistakes are made he can use it to help us learn and bless us. Louisa talked about how she was mad when her parents decided they should move a few years ago but Heavely Father has made it work out. Holly brought up the definitions of the words possibility and joy. She also talked about repairing quilts that had things happen to them. Also a talk from Matt Reeves about the power of the priesthood and how it has blessed his life and has preserved his life.  A great less...

Lucy- " Yeah, and do you know what else you can't do, you can't put candy in the microwave or else it will explode too. Yeah!"
