I've been tagged. Here are my seven things:
1. I feel the need to rearrange the furniture at least every six weeks. It's sort of like "spring cleaning" all year round. Poor David. I'm not even the one who moves it. I just sit on the couch and point and David does it all for me. He doesn't even make me move when he moves the couch. Can you say biceps?
2. I have an ongoing dilemma with my hair. Do I grow it out? Do I cut it? Bangs or no bangs? I just met a new friend in my ward who cuts hair. Heaven help me.
3. I am the worst back-seat driver in the world. I can't help myself. I feel the need for speed in an efficient sort of way, and I can't stand it when I waste time driving in traffic.
4. I was a member of " the Weirdo Club" We had an anthem, a flag, and a pledge. To talk to each other, we burried jars in secret places in the dirt with only the lid poking out. Then we would write notes and put them in each others' "mailboxes." Don't ask me why we didn't just knock on each others' doors. We all lived in the same cul-de-sac. For fun, we would ride our imaginary horses all over the neighborhood, have gymnastics contests, and played what seemed like a never ending game of Monopoly.
5. Noisy people annoy me. Can't my nieghbors learn how to shut their doors instead of slamming them? Do those people who drive cars with the noisy exhausts really think that others admire them for it? Can we control the yippy dog population please!!!!!!!? Boy I sound old!
6. I absolutely hate listening to people argue about politics! Don't get me wrong. I like to vote and read up on the candidates, but I cannot stand listening to people on the radio or tv, who think that they know everything and that everyone should think the way they do. I literally feel clausterphobic when I hear it.
7. I love Paula Deen! (food network chef) I dreamt last week that she invited me over for dinner but Caleb woke me up before I got to go. I was so disappointed I wanted to cry. My dream vacation would be to go to Savannah, Georgia and be a guest on her show "Paula's Party." She is hillarious and includes butter in almost everything she cooks!
Here is an example of my ongoing mission to make our home like a visitor's center. I've had this idea to make a family tree for a while and just now got around to it. This tree goes back three generations. It was fun to learn more about David's side of the family and remember more about mine.
There is a place here called the Magic House that is totally awesome! It was rated the #1 place for kids in the country by the Zagat. It has all sorts of things for kids to do from building sand castles to fishing and grocery shopping. We spent the day there today and had a really good time. Jake loved playing in the water with his friend Maron. Caleb liked climbing the giant tree house and fishing.
So, I haven't blogged for a while, so here's an update. Jake is now a robust 5 1/2 month old who is eating solids like a pro! He loves wrappers, his mommy, and splashing in the tub. He weighs in at 18 lbs. and loves his brother, Caleb, whom he laughs at every chance he gets.
We are officially a two-car family! Hooray for life outside of an apartment. I actually feel like I can be part of society again. I can even go to the library during the day!!!! I'm still amazed at how different things look in the sunlight.
