Diggin the New Digs
One part of our bedtime routine is where we "talk". He sits on my stomach and we talk about his day and often sing songs together as he tries to prolong bedtime. Last night we sang a few songs that I learned back at Girls Camp 15 years ago (excuse my voice, the cold isn't gone).

If you're out there...
Stranger knocks twice.
Honski opens door.
Stranger: Is Honski here?
Honski: Yes, I'm Honski.
Stranger holds out a giant Christmas card and gift.
Stranger: I'm doing this for a friend. They love you a whole lot.
Honski: Uh, wow, thank you.
Stranger turns and leaves.
I never knew Santa's Elves loved me, but just in case they read my blog (hope so since I don't know how else to get in touch with them)....
Filled my jar with happiness, love, humility, peace of mind, and thanks. Really, thank you so very much for making me feel loved!

My Home
These are the hills I played on as a child...
And every once in a while...
when I'm weathering a snow storm...
I need a little reminder that something else exists.
Ahh yes, I remember.
Filled it!

The Girl and The Fig
The girl = my adorable sister in law
(and 13 of her closest family members...)
The fig = lacing every dish we ordered at a GREAT restaurant called....
SO delicious, wonderful atmosphere (minus the Kiddo's squirming/minor complaints), and the best company I could ask for!
The Kiddo and his cousin are really starting to love each other instead of ONLY fighting over toy trains. However, I MUST say that I think his cousin is happier to share his toys than the Kiddo is. Thanks Kiddo's Cousin (and his Mommy who made the whole dinner possible)!
We all returned home that night with happy, fig-filled jars.

Pineapple Skillz
There I sat - happily chopping up pineapple at my parents house when my sister said, "This summer, I saw street merchants cleaning pineapple in a really cool spiral pattern." Sounded like a challenge to me!
Awww yeah!
Filled it!

Funny Faces
My best friend was playing with the settings on her webcam and turned out some hilarious pictures. The Kiddo and I tried it and it kept us entertained for the better part of an hour.
Filled!

Now we are so happy, we do the dance of JOY!
I got a job! After almost 3 months of unemployment, and some RATHER stressful moments, I'm back in the game! This time in an accounting department with a construction company. I'm loving it so far. Now on to finding a new place to live before January 1st! Anybody got a basement they're looking to rent out?
Do you guys remember Perfect Strangers? Cousin Lary and Balki from Mypos? When the Dance of Joy came to mind, I HAD to look on Youtube to see if they had a vid. Ohhhh man I'm usually not this corny, especially about stupid old sitcoms, but it was a fun trip down memory lane.

Over sized soft hoodies
When being brave pays off
Cream soda and honey turkey deli sandwiches
Star gazing
Doing something no one believes I would
Strawberry red toes
37" inseam WOMEN'S jeans
Songs that make me cry
A checked off to do list
Oldschool Mechwarrior, Commander Keene and Wolfenstein games

Waking up without an alarm
Christmas lights (especially on Temple Square)
THIS GIGGLE RIGHT HERE!!!
(Excuse the drool...)
FILLED!

Gobble Gobble
At ONE of our Thanksgiving dinners with dear friends (yes, we were definitely feeling the love), the Kiddo and I were asked/expected to wear the Turkey Hat while we said what we were thankful for.
Jar = STUFFED!

All Aboard!
I decided to take the Kiddo for his first ride on Trax. I made the mistake of telling him where we were going BEFORE I put him down for his nap, but assured him that as soon as he woke up, we'd go. He popped up wide awake after just 45 min saying, "Wake up! Trains! Woo woo! All aboard."
We parked on the north side of Temple Square and walked (he ran) to the closest station.
A transit officer approached us and I started to reach for our tickets to show him. But rather than looking at me, his attention was directed at the Kiddo, handing him a sticker.
He filled my jar, and based on the reactions to his enthusiasm from our fellow passengers, I think he filled a few more today as well.
