Ryan’s finally asleep. I thought he’d never go to sleep tonight. Around 10 i got him to lay down with his stuffed sea animals. Now everyday when he leaves for school he tells me I have to feed them wash them and brush them while he’s gone. God forbid I have a few hours to myself to get anything done, right?
I’m about to go play some WOW with Justin. I’ve been excited about getting to 70 all day.
Tommorrow I’ve got so much to do. Laundry’s been piling up. I also have to clean and vacum my room. Ryan has cheeze it crumbs everywhere. The last thing I need is Mice back up here again.
My Grandpa’s been helping a lot with cleaning the other rooms up here. He gets bored and cleans all morning when he isn’t watching TV. I’m really glad he moved in. It’s nice to see him again.
I love to embed videos in my blog posts that are related to the topic I’m posting about. It helps bring readers by giving them something entertaining to look at. Some videos also explain the subject I’m blogging about in ways I can’t describe in words. Normally I have to take the time to upload videos to the place I host themand then put them in my blog. It takes up tons of time and space I don’t have. Or I spend even more time looking through an other very popular site that’s filled with lots of crap before I find what I am searching for. Now thanks to the Amy Poehler CozmoTV player adding videos to my blog has become so much easier! It’s super easy to use it to embed videos right in your posts or even in your sidebars. You can even embed them on Myspace and facebook! There is even a gallery you can easily search through to find videos to post to your blog or Myspace or facebook and probably even Livejournal. It seems like it will even work on sites that don’t allow embedding of videos from that other popular website! Anyone who has a blog should definitely go check it out. You can get your own widget here.

I watched the first two episodes of the new season of HBO’s "Big Love" yesterday. I’ve been watching this series going on three years now and to be completely honest I still can’t tell if I even like it! The whole polygamy thing is just weird. I don’t understand how people can do that. I could never share my husband with other women. I’d go crazy jealous and beat them to death. It’s even weirder this season because they’re pursuing a fourth wife TOGETHER as a family. It isn’t just bill running around. The entire family, including the children are going along on the "dates" with this new woman. Could you imagine dating a family? Marrying a man who already has three wives?
Margene especially confuses me. She isn’t even Mormon. ( I know "true" Mormons aka LDS don’t follow polygamy, I’m not talking about LDS here. I’m talking about the polygamist Mormons on this telivision show so I’d appreciate not being flamed. ) She was catholic and seems to know nothing about the religion they’re following at all. Nicky is into the whole thing because she grew up on a polygamist compound where her Dad was the prophet. Barb originally let her husband take on a second wife because she got cancer and lost her ability to have children. Her husband borrowed the money for her treatment from the prophet on the compound he grew up in, ( Nicky’s Dad ) and in turn the Prophet asked he marry one of his 30+ daughters. So barb and Nicky now follow the belief on growing their family for the afterlife. Margene on the other hand was just the young babysitter. Why is she doing it again? And this new woman is from europe. She isn’t religious at all! I don’t understand why she’d want to be anywhere near that mess.
A few days ago I blogged about how my fiance and I were considering spending Valentines Day in Branson. I was really excited. My Mom ended up having to take a shift at work on Valentines Day so we won’t be able to make it after all. We can go the weekend after however. So our Valentines Day trip has now become a winter escape instead! Hilton even has a Hilton Branson Escape Package. This should be really fun. I can’t wait to go swimming in the indoor pool. It will be a nice break from this freezing boring winter. We’ll probably go shopping and swimming all day. Maybe we’ll even take the river walk. What I’m most looking forward to is Hiltons complimentary movie and drinks for two. My fiance and I will finally get some time together. The complimentary breakfast will be great as well. The best part is even with that included the package is still only 79.99! So much cheaper than our hotel we stayed at in Boston. Nothing there was free. We spent over 200$ on staying one night and eating dinner and having a few glasses of champagne. This trip will definitely be much better. I’mexcited! Can’t wait to go.


As most of you know already, my son is a very picky eater. I can probably count on one hand the number of things he’ll actually eat. He’s always been that way. If you try to make him eat anything else he’ll gag and throw up. His favorite snack has always been nutter butters. Those little peanut butter cookies. Ever since the salmonilla outbreak in peanut butter cookies I’ve been afraid to let him eat them. Salmonilla can kill people. He got E.coli last summer from swimming in a Pond when we were on vacation and he got really sick. I never want to see him sick like that again.
What I don’t understand is why is the FDA and government allowing all these outbreaks to happen? You’d think something as important as FOOD would be watched much more carefully. It’s a sad world when you don’t even know if it’s safe to eat anymore.
One of my best friends is having her baby shower next weekend. She’s having her first little girl. I’ve been thinking of what I should get her for a present. Since it’s such a cold winter I think I’m going to get her some blankets with the baby’s name custom embroidered on them. Along with some diapers and baby detergent since those things are so expensive. With all the snow we’ve been getting this winter it isn’t uncommon to lose power and heat for the night. Babies get cold so easilly. I think the blankets could be really useful. Plus everyone likes personalized baby gifts. I’ll get her a pink one, a purple one and a yellow one so she can have an extra blanket to match all her crib sets she got for Christmas!
Ryan started leveling his 64 Mage on World of Warcraft all by himself today. He got a group for an instance and everything. I was suprised he could actually type well enough for everyone to understand him or play well enough for people not to notice he’s only six.
He’s all of a sudden obsessed with matchbox cars. He came home from school the other day asking where all his match box cars went. I put them in a box over a year ago because he never played with them. My grandfather got them for him today and he’s been playing with them ever since.
He hit me off the back of the head with one by accident earlier and it hurt! I was pretty angry. I hate how kids always fling things across the room like that. It’s dangerous.
