Today Show Guy

I have noticed for several weeks that there is the same guy in the crowd for the Today Show. I finally decided that it was the same guy & wondered what the deal was. So of course I went to the WWW. And I found this article which was all messed up when I read it. But I also found his picture. I guess you really can find anything on the web. But that made me happy because I was not the only one that noticed him. And I guess he has been there for a long time. But no one else that I asked knew what I was talking about. I guess I watch too much TV.

Ma Bell

This is Brayden's egg coloring fingers. But those fingers have apparently figured out the land line.

I got a call today from my house. I use this phone for my fax machine. But when I answered, it was Brayden on the other line. I talked to him for a bit & then asked him why he was calling me from the home phone (which we have used when Cody has had problems with his cell phone). He told me that he did not want to ask Cody for his phone to call me so he just picked up the phone to call. Well, that showed initiative on his part but I was also curious because our cell numbers are long distance from the house. So I asked if he dialed the 417 first & he said yes. Well I asked if the dialed the 1 first. And he said, "not the first time but the recording told me that I had to dial 1 or 0 first." At least he can follow directions. I guess he can figure things out for himself, a bit scary. We will see where this new found discovery of the land line phone will take us. I'm pretty sure he knows he is only to use the phone with my permission - but I will have to make that clear.

Dreams

Every week there is a dream person on the radio station that I listen to & they interpret dreams. He says that in your dreams things symbolize other things. So if you dream about a house then the house represents your body. Not that you are just dreaming about a house.

I don't know that I really believe that because there are a lot of times that I just dream about the TV show that I just watched or I dream about what just happened to me that day. How does a TV show or what actually happened that day symbolized my subconscious?

So here are a couple of dreams that I have had recently & maybe someone can tell me what they meant:

1. I watched part of Family Guy where Superman had x-ray vision & saw Louise & he could see in her belly & she was pregnant. Well that night I had a dream that I was pregnant & Superman could see in my belly.

2. Last night I had a dream that I don't all the way remember but it was Easter & we lived out on the land where I lived in high school but we invited Jeremy's parents but it wasn't really his parents. He left me there with all the parents & he didn't show up. Then a friend of mine from high school was in the dream. Then my preacher's wife was in the dream. She was keeping a prayer scrapbook for someone & I was so relieved & comforted that she was doing that. But she didn't want anyone to know (kind of like Hurley on Lost last night but it was a scrapbook not a journal).

3. A couple of nights ago I had a dream that I had a baby. The dream started when I was giving birth. My mom was there & apparently I was not married or the dad was not around & he was not part of my dream. But I lived in a house that I have never lived in & was digging around for a bunch of baby stuff that I could use because I didn't buy anything for the baby. I was totally unprepared. Which I think I had that dream because my nephew was over & I was digging around try to find him clothes last week. And my cousin is pregnant & she was asking about what to buy for her baby. But I had the same dream when I was pregnant with Cody, that he was born & I just had nothing for him nor was I prepared for him. But in this dream, I was telling my mom that I tried to do everything right this time - and I still ended up pregnant without a man & nothing for the baby.

It might sound like I have a lot of baby dreams but I don't. The first dream happened a long time ago & those are just the ones that I can remember right now.

OH, I do dream all the time that the breaks do not work in my car. That really could symbolize something.

So if anyone has any ideas feel free to interpret.

Easter's Over

Easter is over and I have realized that I did not take very good photos. I missed about half of the family members that were at Easter lunch! And with all of the scrapbooking that I have been doing, I should have been better about my picture taking.

Friday night we had dinner at Grandma's house. The Westons, Westons and Greens were in town. Kim & Shelley are sisters but I think my mom could be one of their sisters too. Not only was I confused but Brayden kept asking me which one was his grandma. Then Kim's little grand daughter called my mom grandma too. And to confuse people more they all had on similar sweaters, crazy.

This picture turned out a little blurry but this was the best one of the 3 of us.

We colored eggs Saturday night at mom's. We also decorated Easter cookies ast home Saturday afternoon. Cody had a friend spend the night and he helped us. He was also at "Family Dinner" Friday. Uncle Phil got a picture of him so he might show up on the family calendar. He also thought that Hawaiian Haystack was Korean food. I informed him that, if he did not notice, no one else in our family is Korean so we do not eat Korean food.

Between Deviled eggs and decorating eggs, I boiled 4 dozen eggs and only broke 2. It was A LOT of eggs!

Thrift Stores Galore

A couple of weeks ago, I decided maybe I would like to have some cowboy boots. I will not wear them a lot, so I do not want to spend a lot for them. So I decided that I should try some thrift stores. Well I have been a thrift store junkie ever since. I still have not found cowboy boots or a bike that I was look for for my grandpa. But I have purchased a glass bowl, a computer, a desk and a wall hanging.

I used to go into thrift stores/flea markets in the past & I never had any luck. I guess because I always had something specific in mind & I could never find it. Well now I go in with an open mind & if I see something that I like, then I try to find a place in my house for it. That's probably not a very good idea because I have been buying too much stuff. And I don't do "stuff". But I have been happy with all of my purchases and they all have served a purpose.

This weekend I did get to spend a lot of time with Holly!! We hung out, scrapbooked & got to spend some time at the Landing.

Friday Theoden came over & spend the night. We had fun. He enjoyed Brayden's bed/slide. We colored & watched Spiderman. He is a lot busier than some of the other little ones that I have babysat lately!

Friday I took Theoden to school! We went to school with Bray to have lunch. It was fun.
