If they only knew...
Last night we were all sitting watching a program on TV. Danny - sorry Damage - was sitting next to me. I was scooted up on the cushion, and he was climbing behind me and reaching his arm around me. All of a sudden I look down and he is patting my right hoohoo. I moved his hand an asked him not to do that. Well, a few moments later he was doing it again, and I said "stop." He looked at me and said "Mom, I like reaching your little balls."
Damaged Danny
Danny's official nickname is now "Damage." He's done it again! Another broken arm!
He is so crazy. He has had stitches 3 times (all on that cute little face) and has broken bones 2 times (each arm once). The poor kid isn't even 4 yet! Seriously, last year we signed up for Aflac through Jon's work because of Danny. So far it has paid off. We thought about canceling it to save some money, but I am glad we didn't. Pretty soon they won't allow us to be insured by them. (It's like when my brother-in-law's family was asked to leave Chuck-a-Rama because they ate too much of the all-you-can-eat buffet!)
Here is a recap of all the damage:

VOTE!
It's not the presidential election, but I would like your vote. Please indulge me and tell me what you shave and what you wax. It is of course anonymous, so no one will know your answer. I took the liberty of being the first to vote. I shave armpits, legs, and have recently added my arms to the list. I had a crazy moment in the shower a few weeks ago and put the razor to my arms. It feels so cool - I love it! I also wax my bikini line. OUCH! But so much better than shaving. I haven't been brave enough to try the whole thing, but who knows...maybe someday I will have another crazy moment in the shower...(wink wink).
P.S. Is this tmi?
Also, do you like my blog background?

Panty Hose
So, girlies...I need help. I can't buy a pair of nylons that don't get a run in them within the first few hours. Do you have any suggestions on a good brand?

JOB!!!!!
So, I start a new job tomorrow!
This is so crazy! I am going to work at a company called Forthgear. I have worked there before - once after I graduated from college, and once before Danny was born. Anyway, they need another designer, and I need to work, so here we go!
Check out their website: www.forthgear.com
They are a really great company, and I am excited to be back in a professional design environment again. They are an amazing team, so I will have a lot to learn from them and I know I will grow a ton as a designer and professional.
I am going to work part-time. I will work Monday, Wednesday and Friday. One hang-up is they are located in Kaysville. This means a nice commute for me. However, my sister-in-law lives very close, and has been so generous and willing to take Danny for me. Danny has a cousin who is the same age, so they will have fun together. Since Jacob is in school, he will have to go to a day care after school. I am a little apprehensive about that (of course), but I doing my research to find the best place for him to go. Both Jon and I feel like this is an answer to prayer, so we are putting our faith in the Lord, and I know it will all work out. We are very excited for this change.

Buy Products
Hi Everyone! I know it has been a while since I wrote a new post. I thought I would make this post about my brother Larry's side business. He sells some products online. I have tried some and I am sold on them. He sells a lot of nutrition products that I haven't tried, but I have tried some of the L.O.C. cleaning products. I like them because they come in concentrate form, and they last a long time. I spend a lot less money on cleaning supplies since I started using these. They also smell good.
The SA8 laundry detergent is also really good. It smells nice, and it comes in concentrate form. I LOVE this, because it saves me lots of space! I have the gallon size bottle. I don't hassle with big bulky boxes anymore, and I love that! Also, this gallon size bottle lasts me about 6 months (and I do about 8-10 loads of laundry per week)! It only costs $36.45. There is also a 1.5 liter bottle for $14.35 if you just wanted to give it a go. Anyway, I think it's great!
Click here to check out the website
A permanent link is under "Bubbly Links" under LCA Enterprises.
To find the household cleaning supplies, put in the search box: L.O.C.
To find the laundry products, put in the search box: SA8
I have tried the L.O.C. Plus kitchen cleaner, L.O.C. Plus Glass Cleanser, and L.O.C. Plus Soft Cleanser. I have also tried the SA8 liquid laundry detergent and the PreWash Spray Spot Treatment. I plan to try the Bathroom cleaner next.
Anyways, try it out!

OREOS
There are a few things in life I can't resist ... Ben and Jerry's Brownie Batter Ice Cream, a home-made brownie sundae, a hot fudge brownie shake from Caspers or Charlies, and a yummy dessert made with Oreo cookies is definitely one of them too. I have been fairly good through the holidays with not eating too many treats. I even managed to keep off the few pounds I lost the month before. (I certainly didn't lose any more, but I didn't gain any either.) But the other night I made this dessert for New Years, and I can't leave it alone. I still have some at my house, so this is an open invitation to anyone who will please come save me from porking out on the whole thing!
Want to know what I am talking about? Here's the recipe:
STRIPED DELIGHT
35 Oreos
6 Tbsp. butter, melted
1 pkg. Philadelphia cream cheese, softened
1/4 c. sugar
2 T. cold milk
1 tub (12 oz) Cool Whip, thawed
3 1/4 c. cold milk
2 pkg. (4-serving size) Jell-O Chocolate flavor instant pudding
Place cookies in food processor; cover. Process to form fine crumbs. Transfer to medium bowl. Add butter and mix well. Press firmly onto the bottom of a 9x13 dish. Refrigerate 10 minutes. Meanwhile, beat cream, cheese, sugar, and 2 Tbsp milk with wire whisk until well blended. Stir in 1 1/4 cups of the cool ship topping. Spread over crust.
Pour 3 1/4 cups milk into large bowl. Add dry pudding mixes. Beat with wire whisk 2 minutes or until well blended. Spoon evenly over cream cheese layer. Let stand 5 minutes or until thickened. Spread remaining whipped topping over pudding layer. Refrigerate at least 4 hours. Store left overs in the fridge.
