My New Obsession

After neglecting my blog this week I have forced myself to update you all with what we've been up to.

Here my current obsession...

I am loving hot chocolate with this Torani's sugar free caramel flavoring! It is soothing to my sore throat and is a highlight of my evening!

Wednesday night we had a missionary activity for mutual. A few members of the ward came in and talked about their mission, John was one of the presenters and he did a great job! He wore his MC Hammer pants hoping to score some cool points with the youth, OK so there really some traditional garb from southern Brazil, although the young women were loving the leather boots. It was a great activity and I think the youth enjoyed it.




On Saturday I went to a birthday party for this cutie patootie...




This is my friend Shannon's son Mateo. I can not believe he is one! I remember holding him in the hospital when he was born and that was like 5 months ago-or so I thought. Happy b-day Teo!



Now for an update on a goal I've set for myself about 10 thousand times...to stop biting my nails. I've bitten my nails ever since I was little. I've always had to keep short for water polo so instead of wasting time to get the nail clippers from their little bag in the drawer under all the other crap at the end of the hall it was easier to bite them. However biting caused many a hang nail or rough edge that would get caught on things-so annoying. So a few weeks ago I recommitted myself and decided to do it. My reward for letting them grow out would be a manicure. I am proud to report that it has been almost a month since I've chomped away at my fingers! 21 days to break a habit right?

So what did you switch out the carmel with? Bourbon?

I think Matthew Fox is dreamy as well. And John's outfit is fantastic. Why didn't you dress to match?

Hot chocolate! What gives?! I thought you only drank hot vanillas? I want some!

Beautiful nails, beautiful hands, beautiful woman...and the fact that you use those hands for interpreting makes them even more beautiful.

Babe...I used to bite my nails, too---until they would bleed. Finally I bought some stuff used for helping kids stop sucking their thumbs. It tasted like puck...so I put that on all my nails and each time I would go to bite them, I would feel sick. It didn't take long to break that habit! Oh...the Torani...we add that with crushed ice, half/half, and either 7up or carbonated water to make Italian Sodas--Yum Yum!
