Thank You Jessica R...

For bringing to attention my Mouthwatering Monday has been MIA.
As many of you know.. I have been having some crazy hours at work as well as being busy with some projects and stuff. So the last few weeks have been a mess. So for this last Monday's Mouthwatering entry.. it is a tidbit of advice.

NEVER. EVER. EVER. IN your long legged life..

Turn down a dinner invite from Kristy Egan. Makes for a mouth watering monday, or tuesday.. or anyday.

Trippin on Tuesday..

Things that have me trippin today..

1. Woman leaving 18 month old in car for hours and baby dies. Trying not to be judgemental here, but how you just accidental forget your 18 month old is in the car hours after you have carried in your groceries. Accidents do happen, and its so sad. Let it be a huge learning experience for us all to be more careful.
2. Roman Spencer the last 3 nights.. This whole waking up at 1 am. He woke up last night, threw a huge tantrum for his dad, I come out in the living to try to console him and he is acting like a wild bangee crying and fussing and worming off my lap and sitting on the floor screaming. I am thinking something is seriously wrong and I am pointing to my mouth.. asking mouth.. does it hurt.. ears do they hurt.. EFF i wish we could communicate. So then my mom comes out and tries to console him.. no luck. Then I decide forget it I am taking him back to my bed.. We walk down the hall.. Roman still pitchin a fit.. and as soon as I cross the threshold to my room.. Roman instantly stops crying.. perks up.. says "THANKS!" and smiles. WTF people? He sits on my bed pointing and staring at the TV... until I turn on the Backyardigans and then he says "YES!" and then "Thanks". I need to stop this insanity!
3. Gas Prices.. nuff said.
4. The groom who karate kicked his wife after the ceremony. Couldn't he just have changed his mind. Jerk.
5. The Miley Cyrus ordeal. Note to Miley: You are 15. Note to Vanity Fair: She is 15. Note to media: "We really don't care that much so quit exploiting it."
6. Bush scolding congress on the state of the Economy. Um. Okay. DA.
7. My office building's heater is stuck on at 82 degrees. I am sweating like a you know what. Been a rough day.
8. The creepy man Austrian man who fathered 6 children with his own daughter who he held captive and the wife/mother didn't know. UM GROSS. I wonder if Dr. Phil has called him.
9. Jimi Hendrix sex tape. I wonder if drugs are involved.

Free Cone Day at Ben and Jerry's at Gateway!

Free Cone Day at Ben and Jerry's at Gateway!

Go get a SCOOP!

Fun with FrontRunner...

After working and a baby shower on Saturday I got home and we decided to take Roman to the opening day of the FrontRunner. The FrontRunner is a public transit commuter train that runs from Ogden to Salt Lake City.

I was not happy about going, as I was exhausted from a LONNNNG week (see blog below) and wanted to nap. But my guilty mother conscious took over and I decided I just could not miss being there when Roman road a train for the first time.

We spent around an hour in line.

Roman and Dad in line.

Roman running around the platform after I gave up wrestling with him.

Grandpa taking his turn holding him.

In case you wondered what station we got on...

Waiting on the bench to catch our train because we are fancy world travelers and stuff.

Roman scoping out the terrain out the window. Not much of a view. But he liked it.

My one thing that really bothered me.... Is Chivalry Dead? After wrestling my toddler in line to get on the train we finally get on to not even ONE open seat. So my baby an I rode most of the ride standing up balancing an holding on to the bar. Finally we walked upstairs and I nice Gentleman offered me his seat. I just could not believe how lame some men are. I mean it could be the way I was raised but my dad or brothers would be the first to jump up and offer a seat to a lady, not to mention one holding a baby. I tell ya.. for being the "Happy Valley" there are some pretty classless men out there. There were a few other mothers with small children trying to control their kids as well while balancing. I guess I should get over it.

Anyways it was a fun day and I was happy we took Roman. He liked the trip and afterwards we tried out the Fire House in Centerville which I have been wanting to do for a while. It was very tasty! A must try!

Things that are not okay about working at 5 am all week:

1. Waking up at 3:50 am.
2. Showing up to work and forgetting if you brushed your teeth.
3. Showing up to work and forgetting your glasses.
4. Showing up to work with your shirt inside out, and not knowing it until 7 hours later when your co-worker notices.
5.The fourth meal I somehow seem to have taken on.
6. Not cooking a meal for my family all week. And being okay with it. I am not sure what we have eaten. But no one is starving.
7. Wearing the same shoes all week because who worries about looking cute when you have to leave for work at 4:30 am.
8. My skin will never be the same.
9. No social time for my kid because of my tiredness level/
10. No walking with Kristy.
11. My son has learned 8 new swear words this week.
12.Worst of all, my butt has taken on the shape of my pleather chair.

4. $3.35 a gallon for gas.
5. Laura Bush hosting the Today show. I mean, come on. Weird. Go read to kindergartners or something.

Going to leave on a good note. At least good for me. :)

Earth Day

Happy Earth Day!

In celebration of Earth Day I decided to do my part and buy reusable cloth grocery bag's. I searched online for a good price and felt I could find better. Little did I know I would find them on my lunch break. I ran to Whole Foods for their FAB salad bar and today Whole Foods is giving out a100% recyclable grocery bag to all of their customers. And the best part is additional bags are only .99 cents. So go out there, do your part for Earth Day and get some cloths grocery bags. A plastic grocery bag takes 10,000 years to biodegrade. American's use 110 billion grocery bags a year.

"Recyle, Reduce, Reuse and Close the Loop!"

PS. Oak Hollow girls. I am working on the recycle bins.

PPS. If anyone lives in PA, get your booty out there and VOTE!
