Sleepover With The Laundry

Why me?
Why do I have piles of never ending Laundry, yet a closet full of clothes that I NEEED but don't ever wear?
Why do I allow myself to live from a recurrent pile of clothes on my floor (clean...I'll give myself that) for the past TWO months? It's True.
Why do I avoid folding, and putting it away...at ANYcost?
Why does my washer sound like a dying woman, or child? It's horrible.
Why am I blogging and NOT laundering?
Why do I love to buy laundry baskets?? It's not like I use them!
Why do I feel like: But do nothing about it.
SOMEDAY i'll have this:

But for NOW, I found these: , , , and I feel MUCH better!

Pssst...one more thing.

I want to hear your laundry TIPS!!!

Happy Day!

It snowed, and Olivia has been eating it all day.

Four whole weeks with the tree up and today is the day that it finally feels like Christmas! All we needed was a little cold sugar!

Livi has been working hard on her imagination. Today she played some major "pretend" while we were stuck inside! I love this girl :)

J MAN is in the TRIB!

See. On November 14th there was this awesome article by T-Dan Workman posted in the Salt Lake Tribune abount my "family man" aka "The Mechanic" aka "small cage fighter" aka "Mr. J" Johnny Jo Miller. I'm so proud of him working so hard and then getting recognition. :) This is Great. Thanks Dan for the awesome article! Now for all of you whom are laughing about MY little Blerb...Dan got it from a little note I posted in Facebook months ago. I was going to rephrase on the rough article but then...i didn't. so there.

I did write this tho..."I think that I can speak for most of our close family and friends, as well as myself, when I say that it is a bit nerve-racking to watch Johnny fight. On the other hand it is a relief to know that everytime Johnny climbs into the cage he is completley prepared both mentally and physically for each fight . Johnny is a very calm and relaxed fighter watching him battle so calmly is very reasuring, I know that he is strong enough for anything!. Johnny is truely passionate about training and fighting, because it is something he loves I completley support him with all of his MMA goals!"....which they didn't find interesting enough to publish.
Oh, well.
I think I'll keep my J MAN for one more year!

Dumpster-Find Christmas!

Yes, you read that correctly. I enjoy a good Dumpster Dive from time-to-time. I wouldn't consider myself a 'diver' per say, since "my find" was neatly perched right on top, but...yea, I got our Christmas tree from a dumpster. The Story. One SUMMER several years ago Johnny and I were doing a little yard-work and house cleaning to gather our (usually quite generous) contribution to the annual neighborhood clean-up dumpster. Whilst weed-whacking (yes, I do this) I glanced toward the dumpster noticing how unusually full it was so early in the day. Then, with a wondering eye I spied, the most beautiful charlie brown Christmas tree, and I sighed. Yes. I really need that tree. We didn't have one. We'd spent WAY too much in past years on a REAL one. I knew I had to get a little closer to inspect the "damage", it must be damaged right? For some one to throw away a perfectly good tree already covered with fabulous twinkle lights, it must. I decided to weed-whack my way over there and get a closer look. After looking it over I quickly made a necessary decision...to give this "doomed" tree a real chance I needed to hastily get it home, and give it a proper 'once-over'. So that's what I did. I did a hurried glance around the neighborhood to make sure that no-one was watching, I didn't want to go to jail. You know they actually leave notes on your door telling you NOT to take from the dumpster. Huh? Weird. That's gross anyway. Hoping that not a soul would see...I made some lightning fast attempts at grabbing the tree, then I got a hold of the trunk. The look on Johnny's face as I rounded the corner, Christmas tree in tow...oh, it was priceless. (I would've taken a picture but unfortunatley I didn't find any ill-fated cameras). "You DIDN'T" he says...Oh, I did. Turns out, besides a bit bare from the waste down, there was NOT a THING wrong with this cute tree. Good and Free, my kind of Find! 3 years and going strong. We've decorated our charlie brown tree this year with a couple of my favorite ornaments. To share. Miss Crocodile w her high heal shoes and tiny trees on her back, she's adorable. The One, The Only...Elvis The Famous perched Cardinal and for Johnny, Every year he wants a canoe for Christmas and this is what he gets... Lastly, MY favorite Decoration this year, Three Wise Men Nutcrackers :) They're so cute. So Wise.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY DECORATING!
