Mike is forgiven

Mike missed my birthday and I gave him a bad time about it. So the next day, he bought me a "belated" birthday card and a new scrub top for work. It is really cute. He also baked me a cake! I was amazed because he never cooks! He even put sprinkles on the top.

Happy Birthday to me!

It's Official! I am a quarter of a century old!! I turned 25 years old today! I wanted to go home to Salt Lake to see all of my family and friends but my wallet wouldn't allow it. I have a lot of bills to make up for that car accident and two surgeries from a couple months ago so we are broke! I miss everyone and I am very sad that I didn't get to see you for my birthday. I will come in a month or so. Mike didn't get me a card...or flowers..or a present...needless to say, he is in trouble with me! I did get to go to dinner at Texas Roadhouse and then to see a movie. We went and saw "Bucket List" it was funny and really sad at the same time! Texas roadhouse was FREE because Olive Garden and Texas Roadhouse made this really sweet deal that the managers from each restaraunt get to eat at the other one for free. I LOVE that deal! Mike and I both got Ribs (YUMMY!) and a steak and it was FREE!! That is the best deal ever! I had free movie tickets from my work to go to a movie so that was free too! I told Mike that he went all out on that one! LOL He is going to take me to see "Fools Gold" Tomorrow for Valentine's Day because he has to work on the real Valentine's Day. I am excited to see that. Albeth, My sister in Law, said it is a really good movie. I called my Grandma and Grandpa Hart and told them I was a quarter of a century old and my Grandma said, "well, I am three quarters of a century old!" My grandpa said, "yeah, and I'm a century old in 19 years!" so when you put it in that persective, I am not that old, but I sure do think so! My cute little neices called and sang "Happy Birthday" to me on my answering machine. They are pretty good little singers! I had a good day, although it would have been better in Salt Lake with my family. There is always next year......

Taste the POO!

I saw at the store today that they are now making CHOCOLATE skittles. I am not sure how I feel about this. The theme for skittles is "Taste the Rainbow". The last time I checked, the colors in the rainbow were red, yellow, pink, green, purple, orange, and blue. NOT BROWN. Now in the past skittles had made variations of the "rainbow" colors to make tropical skittles and berry skittles, but at least they were colors. It is like they decided to let their kids come up with the new color and use fingerpaints. They just mixed all of the "rainbow" colors together to make BROWN. Brown is usually the color of Poo so Mike and I think the new theme for skittles should be "Taste the Poo" . I have yet to try these new candies, but I am a little skeptical. If anyone is daring enough, let me know how they taste. Aparently they have been out since October 2007, but I have been a little "laid up" since October. So, maybe someone has already tried them. Here is a website that has a review for these new candies http://candyaddict.com/blog/2007/10/01/candy-review-skittles-chocolate-mix/

Let it snow..Let it snow..Let it snow..SOMEWHERE ELSE!

This has been some of the coldest and windiest storms I have seen in my life here in Idaho Falls! It is so cold with below zero degree weather and wind chill that chills right through your bones. The snow is deep and it just keeps on coming! In fact rumor has it that we are in for another big one tomorrow! I am not looking forward to it. I don't even own a pair of boots! I am going to get some as soon as they get more in stock! All of the stores are out of boots and snow shovels! They can't seem to keep them in stock! When it is not snowing the wind is blowing the snow off of the rooftops onto the passers by. They don't even plow the streets in Idaho falls! Getting out of our driveway is a nightmare! I am dreaming of white sandy beaches, clear blue water and a bright shining sun! I think Hawaii sounds great right now!

Here Doggy, Doggy, Doggy!

Mike and I went to watch Sherrie's dogs this week. Sherrie is another manager that Mike works with at the Olive Garden. She has two dogs, Sissy and Oscar (like Oscar Meyer Weiner) they were really nice dogs! They hardley ever barked. They would go outside when you told them to. They love to sit in front of the little space heater that Sherrie has for them on the floor. It was really fun. Except for this one time at dog camp :) when oscar (the brown one) ate too much and got sick and threw up everywhere, which in turn made me throw up because I had to clean it up! That wasn't so fun!

President Hinckley

President Gordon B. Hinckley will be greatly missed. He passed away January 27, 2007. I can remember when he became the Prophet of the church. I remember listening to him during conference, I'll admit, usually he was the only one I listened to. I would always have conference on in the background of whatever I was doing and when it was his turn to speak, I would stop whatever it was and turn up the volume and listen. I got the chance to go to the conference center and hear him speak at two different conferences. He was so kind to everyone. I loved watching him walk into conference waving his cane to say hello. He almost always had a little joke added in his talks. I remember this last conference in October, 2007 he said, " I know you are not supposed to use the same talk more than once, but I have given over 200 talks so I am going to use one of those." He made everyone laugh. I thought it was really cute. President Hinckley has been the prophet for most of my life that I can remember. I will miss him, but I know that he is with his wife for eternity now. He is in a much better place then we all are. I can only hope to one day make it there to see him again. As quoted from his funeral services today, and a hymn, "God be with you til we meet again." Goodbye President Hinckley.
