Let's give this a try...

It has been TOO long and I have been TOO anxious to get on here and actually get something done to the effect of documenting the last month...and in addition, feel a little more connected to the outside world in general...
But, it seems as life happens, everything from sicknesses (yes, more of that) and computer issues (it took me three weeks to finally get that simple picture of my new hair to finally post) to housekeeping and pure apathy has played its part in keeping me away. Tonight, as I am sitting down, hoping to do some updating and reflecting, I am trying to clear my mind enough to begin sorting through pictures and recalling thought processes...can't seem to quiet the mind enough...so, I though I should just get it all out...
A sampling of my jumbled thoughts...
Just for all of you...
(My husband, sitting in the other room with a snack and a TV remote in hand, is, without even knowing it, reaping the benefits of this whole blogging thing)

...How sick is Bethany going to get this time around? Her sniffles seem to be escalating to something more...

...Should I clean my house as much as possible or do grocery shopping tomorrow morning when Grandma comes to play with the kids?....

...I think the actor that was James should have been Edward. It would have increased my enjoyment of the movie greatly...

...Probably clean my house. Grocery shop some evening. Or order from Safeway.com. But sometimes the produce is iffy. Can't risk iffy produce...

...Why am I so tired? I really shouldn't be this tired. Oh no...am I getting sick? I cannot get sick...

...Do people go to their highschool reunions?...

...thirsty...

...What's the deal with learning to have hope? It's clearly important but what's the trick to learning to abandon logic at times and just rely on hope? When is it naivete and when is it hope? How do we protect ourselves when relying on hope?...

..." . . . no good deed goes unpunished...no act of charity goes unresented . . ."...

...My kids are so cute and sweet...

...It's so nice outside...

...How long can I resist buying several sets of those pajama/sweat sets at Walmart that are super cute and fantastically priced? They would be perfect for working out and being around the house (two things I do every day) and would be possibly the best part of my wardrobe were I to purchase them...can I resist? Should I resist when the only reason I am doing so is that they have "America's Next Top Model" printed all over them?...

...Is my computer going to let me upload pictures tonight or am I going to get further behind???...


Well, I guess I should find out.

More to come...hopefully...

Not bad if you ask me...

I will have more time in the near future to do more updating but for now...the outcome of my late night endeavors...

P.S.

I love David Cook.

A brave beginning to what will surely be an adventure . . .

It's one a.m. and I find myself sitting at our computer with a Safeway bag on my head.
I can't remember the last time I did this.

What's this all about? I'll tell you what this is all about, with as few sleep-deprivation-induced words as possible. (sleep deprived words = words I would never use when I am rested and fully aware of my surroundings i.e. rad, fetch, dude, billfold, jiminy, yeppers, woot, etc.)
Through the miracle of an extremely thoughtful and generous husband, convenient connections to a generous soul, a willing and generous mother, and the Super 8 Provo which has generous pricing, it was established about two and a half days ago that I am going to visit my sister, Katie, at BYU! Tomorrow! Ah!
I am so excited. JC is amazing for sending me off during an especially stressful time for him, my mom is amazing for helping out with the kids while JC is at work, a lady I don't even know is amazing for setting me up with a buddy pass and Katie is amazing for agreeing to let me come interrupt her daily life with my presence. It shall be a grand old time.
Oh, and I decided that I wanted to get my hair done before I left since I am a recovering hair-color addict and having a relapse. My fantasticly talented friend, Katie (not to be confused with my sister, Katie. There are a lot of you.) always steps up to the plate to tackle my latest whim via my hair but alas...timing could not quite be made right, as I am finding happens in the adult world...and though Katie (friend Katie) is going to cringe upon reading this, I am coloring my own hair. At one a.m. (My sister, Katie would actually be quite pleased with me since she has long since been her own hair dresser...considering I dropped out of beauty school halfway through and then she moved away)
So, anyway, foils in, bag on head, sitting, waiting. Blogging.
I have so much to tell about and lots of pictures to share! This last week felt very autumn-ish, from Tuesday at a pumpkin patch to a Friday night carnival. So, when I return, lots of fun to be had in reliving the previous weeks! And, of course, all the fun I have yet to, but most definitely will, have in the next couple of days.
As for now, I'm off to do my own little lonely reveal. I'm sure I will look fabulous.
But, just to be safe, Katie, you may want to put me in the books for next weekend... :)
Oh, glorious Utah, I return to thee!!!!
Hmm. Add "thee" to sleep-deprived word list noted above.
