Sometimes I Don't Plan this Stuff

It is COLD! It is freezing cold! Reminding me how much I HATE winter. The current temp is 32 degrees. YUCK!

I came home from work today freezing.

So I put on my favorite pair of thermals.

Then I ran A. to scouts and came home shivering.

So I put on my favorite hoodie.

I was still freezing and whining about how cold I was. H. helped me out by getting me a beanie. It is one of those cool beanies with the ear flaps and the pom pom on top.

I was still whining so Al. tracked down a pair of Brent's railroad insulated gloves.

Then I hunkered down under my electric blanket and tried to quit shivering.

THEN

I had to go and get A. from scouts. I pulled into the parking lot dreading the run from the car to church. Right before I could get out A. came shooting out of the building. YAY!! I thought I don't have to get out of the car.

Then as he got into the car he started laughing. Laughing very hard. Mixed in with all the laughing I heard him say, "I knew it, I just knew you would try something like this."

"Try what?"

He replied, "You look ridiculous.You were going to come in dressed like that just to embarrass me."

I was baffled, "What are you talking about?"

"LOOK AT YOU!"

Then it dawned on me he thought I was all dressed up in all my warm gear just to embarrass him. Which made me smile and reply, "You just never know what I will do!"

"I'm smarter than that all I have to do is make sure I'm out here before you come in and then you can't embarrass me."

Darn, now he is actually going to be looking for me and running out to the car, before I can come and try to track him down in a big old building.

Sometimes being Cold aint that bad.

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Biking 45 Miles!

Tomorrow or Today depending on which day you read this post I will be riding my bike 45 miles. Registering for the ride has made this journey to ride my bike 100 miles very real. Since tomorrow will probably be one of my last rides indoors I have decided to Twit about it. I'm not quite sure how my body is going to react to 45 miles and almost 3 hours on a bike. I'm pretty sure my head is going to be yelling bad words at me, at best. I'm sure there is going to be a lot of, this is crazy, what are you doing to yourself. By Twitting about it I am going to feel a whole lot more accountable to get the ride done. Especially, if I feel there is any chance that people are logging on to see where I'm at and how it is going. If your feeling inclined I should be on the bike by 1pm Mountain time Friday the 27th. Check it out and make sure I survive!

"Laughing All the Way"

Most of the year Brent lives a pretty quiet existence. He goes about his own business with out the world taking much notice, to what he is up to and what he is doing. However, when the snow starts falling, the neighbors start laughing. Brent has become the neighborhood novelty. The funny guy on the corner. The, "Can you believe that Brent was outside, in the snow, shoveling, while in his sandals." Yes you read that correctly. While I refuse to buy boots, because I don't live where it gets cold and snows, and one needs boots. Brent simply does not wear said boots. Unless, he is going to work and HAS to. To the neighbors this is Brent. A few have tried to explain to him the core differences between living in California and Utah. Like, say, wearing actual shoes while shoveling. Oh, and hey, a coat! Brent's California brain has not excepted these facts. In fact, he claims that his sandals have better traction. "Big Sigh," it is nice to know your husband ...
