now

the other night i started putting together my blog book for 2011.  i realized that it was considerably shorter than the few years previous. not a lot to say?  fewer entries?  i think so.  what a bummer.  i should have written more.  a lot flies by undocumented.  MUST DOCUMENT LIFE.

today:

it started with cj running down the hallway at 3:00 am dressed in outdoor gear.  "you've got to get out here!  you should see the aurora borealis!  he had heard earlier in the day there would be amazing northern lights and he was right.  i saw some dancing in the sky through the window, but by the time i threw my boots on and a robe, they were gone.  i guess he got a private show.  i have seen the lights over the years.  i remember driving home late one night and thinking there was a fire or a alien invasion going on right about where mom and dads house was in bearspaw.  the lights were so bright and active it was amazing.

i asked ida what she wanted for breakfast.  her response was "PAINT!".  cinnamon corn pops will have to do.

we recently lost our home phone number and cj's studio number through our phone company.  they told us both were unavailable to get back.  today a technician came to the house to install a box where they would give us a temporary number and line and try to retrieve cj's studio line.  imagine my shock when he gave me my instructions and information and the temporary number they gave us was OUR OLD HOME PHONE NUMBER.  the exact number we were fighting to get back.  weird.

ida and i went to IKEA today.  i haven't been there forever.  cj met us there for lunch.  why is the food there so good and so cheap?  how do they do it?  why is IKEA so awesome?  i ate the tilapia while cj and ida ate 30 meatballs between them.  30 meat balls?  i don't know if that is safe....

the house is coming along.  it's really going to be nice.  the layout is perfect.  the views are lovely.  someone buy it?  i don't want to leave it, but such is life.  if you know a couple in need, send them my way.

i got hair cut today!  once every 8 months isn't bad?  actually it is.  totally lame.  but i found a great stylist and i vowed i would see her again, soon.

we have a fly by the seat of our pants road trip planned for spring break.  its going to be crazy.  we just have to end up in SLC by april 5th for a radio lab live show that we have tickets for.  we are going by way of the west coast to san francisco... so, it should be FUN!


note:  this was written 4 days ago.  just posting now.  so much for keeping things "fresh" and "updated".  ha!
