I LOVE MYSELF RIGHT NOW!!!!

Today, I finally did something about the potted flowers I've been envisioning for the last month.

Ever since watching the General Young Women broadcast with Jess, I've been dying to try this magenta/coral/yellow combo.  These were the colors the choir was wearing in the broadcast, and it totally inspired me.  (Is it wrong that this is what most inspired me from the broadcast?  I meant to say that I was most inspired by Pres. Uchtdorf's talk--there, now I feel better).

Easily the best thing about living here is that Brad is back in our lives.  His job requires almost no travel, and his office is close enough to home that he only has a 10 minute commute.  This also means that it is super easy for him and me to meet for lunch dates during the week.

*sigh*

This afternoon, I caught my two teen-aged children engrossed in a showing of Cinderella.

Not five minutes later, my six-year-old came strutting into the room, gave me a studly half-nod, and asked, "S'up, Mom?".

What is wrong with this scenario?

 A few years ago, I found a book about my dad's hometown of Garland, UT, and there was this picture of my dad at a random Primary activity.  He was probably about three years old.

I was astounded at the resemblance between my three-year-old dad and my three-year-old son, Adam.

RIGHT??

 I have an irresistible urge to whistle the theme song from The Andy Griffith Show.

We've been here for six months, and I just now discovered that we didn't own an American iron.  

When we moved in, I unpacked a couple of boxes of electronics that we'd stored while we were in Germany.  Since I did this in a flurry of unpacking, I guess I didn't really note that there wasn't an iron in those boxes.  All this time, I'd just sort of assumed that I'd unpacked an American iron when I put away the crock pots and toasters and blenders from my boxes.

But then last Sunday, I pulled my skirt-of-choice off the hanger and noticed it needed a go-over with an iron before I could wear it to church.  That is when I discovered that we had no iron.

What does this tell you about my ironing habits?

HOW DID I NOT KNOW A NEW SEASON OF PROJECT RUNWAY WAS HAPPENING??

 My Project Runway Season 11 marathon starts . . . NOW.
