Un-Thankful Me

I am not thankful I am a step parent today. I know I should be but I am not.....I should be taken out to the wood shed and spanked! How dare I not be thankful on Thanksgiving.

New Moon Adventures

I participated in the New Moon craziness this early morning. It was a spontaneous adventure. As usual I went to work at 6 am on Thursday. I left work at 2:30 pm ( I love early Thurs). Dan works at 3:30 pm and so we got to spend a couple minutes together. He suggested going. I was hesitant. First the crowds turn me off. Second I have been awake since the wee hours of the morning (Dan slept in to past 11 am) and I know by midnight I will be exhausted. Well Dan was so excited at the possibility to go that I tucked in for a nap. After my nap I went to get tickets. The local Cinema 16 was showing New Moon in all 16 theaters at midnight so there were plenty of tickets available. As I arrive I turn right around there are so many women. The theater was having a special showing at 9:30 pm and there were thousands of females. So much screaming, screeching, giggling was going on that I did not even inquire about tickets.

Dan was sad. When he got home after 10 pm he wanted to go see if there were tickets left. We gt there and there is not a single available parking spot and there are 2 lines (one for each 'side' of the theater complex) Both lines extend around the building. It was intimidating. Well Dan works his magic and scores us tickets to theater 7. We were the only 2 to purchase tickets for that theater. We leave, go home, and go back shortly before midnight. We get there and the parking lot is empty due to the 9:30 showing ending and all those women leaving. So we got a great parking spot. Next the lines were moving to allow people into the building. Dan grabs me and we totally cut in line and no one noticed. There were just so many people and it looked like we had gotten snacks and gotten back in line. We go to theater 7 and not a single soul is in there. We ended up waiting about 45 minutes before the movie started because of all the people in lines that were not in their theater yet. The movie starts with 8 of us in the theater. Shortly 3 more girls come in, they exchanged their tickets because they waited 3 hours in the Left line and their theater was in the Right line so the only available seats were front row. They were amazed that theater 7 was so empty. It rocked.

Dan loved the movie. I found it alright. I am a Jacob lover and was pleased with that aspect of the movie. Good time was had by all who attended last night. I am glad I have a silly husband who encourages me to attend silly girl movies and allows me to enhance my estrogen that I often try to suppress.

I've Still Got IT

This week I has been the best week in a long time. What made it great? Roses? Chocolate? Money? Sex? No, it was having 3 men hit on me 3 days in a row.

It is really nice to know that I am a desirable woman. I am beautiful. I am smart. I have tons to offer. I am worth something.

It is sad how fast I forget these facts. We are all wonderful women who have so much to offer the world, our jobs, our friends, our families, and our relationships! I am glad Heavenly Father once again sent people into my life to remind me of my worth.

and then I get called a f^*$ing cow.....

Black Bear Diner

Last weekend I took myself to the Black Bear Diner. It was everything I wanted it to be. It was a rustic diner with Bear tracks on the sidewalk leading the way into a black bear wonderland.

Just in case you do not know...I love black bears. My grandfather used to tell me stories about a special black bear. His name was Greasy Bear. He had many adventures. Thanks to family and friends I have many black bear figurines.

Needless to say I love the black bear.

Black bears aside the food was like my beloved Market Grill in Cedar City, Utah. Except these were the best pancakes I have ever had at a diner. They were definitely not the typical 'mix' pancakes. They were so sweet and tasted of cream. Another thing about me...I love breakfast food. I love eating it for dinner. So any place that serves breakfast all day long is in my favorites list. Add to delicious pancakes is homemade sausage. I love fresh made sausage patties hand pressed --not frozen in some pre-formed perfect circle. Then to top it off they serve Pespi products....my favorite....It is a happy place. I am so glad I went there; even going solo was great. Oh did I mention their menu is in newspaper form. It was rustic and charming. I loved everything about this diner. I might have to go back this weekend.

Well, I made it to my first anniversary. It has been a journey for sure. Dan got me a great card and a box of candy with nuts (I hate nuts) I have given him crap about that all week. I think it is in his head forever now that I prefer not to eat nuts. As for what I got him...nothing. What does this say about us? I am not sure. All I know is this week I am so happy being married to him. I think he is exactly what I need.

Went to church. It is a pretty normal ward. A good spread of old and young. Funny thing was today they sustained 4 people to be nursery workers. Soooo maybe Sunbeams??? We shall see.
