Neighborhood Time

I looked forward all week to my neighborhood MAC class tonight over at the Chases home. Brian Page taught us so many computer basics that were new to me. He is brilliant. I am delighted and so grateful... to the point of feeling giddy! We are already planning more. I came home to a street full of Abby's friends hanging outside. It feels like summer, though I hear we are supposed to get 6-8 inches of snow Sunday night. You gotta love Spring in Utah! The kids noisily came in and we ran to Harmon's for ice cream and made shakes. I wonder what I am going to do when our last is grown up and gone, leaving Larry & I with a too quiet house.

Scrapbook USA started today up in SLC. Larry and the older girls are up there with the crowds... which they say is a lot busier this time than years in the past. As usual, when it's Scrapbook USA, it is very quiet at the stores. Tomorrow, all the girls will be up there with him having Daddy / Daughter time and I will be home all by myself... gardening & puttering around home and going for a bike ride! It's a much appreciated, nice break.

Going Going Gone?

Wednesday Larry brought home Girl Scout cookies. Big problem with the Samoa's. We opened a box and had a few. I woke up the next morning and had the rest for breakfast. I couldn't help it, I woke up thinking about them. Of course, later in the day, the family wants to know, 'Where are the Samoa's?' They look directly at me and already know. In my defense, there are only 15 in the box and I do believe they are a lot smaller than they used to be :)

There are a few things that are dangerous to bring into our home. Everyone has a danger list. For me: BBQ potato chips, onion dip, Pillsbury Cherry Turnover's, chocolate malt's, Almond M&M's, See's Candy, leftover casserole, Ovaltine with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, chocolate pudding pie, cherry chocolate chip ice cream... and yes, apparently Samoa's are on this list too. UGH! What is your weakness? Please share...
