Found it!

I found my cord in the most logical place. The junk drawer!

So let me take you back a few days to share my most memorable moments.

Isaac's Birthday!

Treats at school~ which consisted of blueberry muffins and gogurts. Isaac's teacher was pleased.


Birthday Kisses for my big 7 year old!

The Christmas Spirit

The Christmas Spirit helped the most.

Operation Christmas

I had a little chat with myself last night. I'm trying to determine the cause of these Christmas Fizzles. I LOVE Christmas!

It may be that the severe cold has sucked the Christmas spirit right out of me... or maybe it is the lingering thought of knowing my kids will be gone (all but Eli) for Christmas this year~ either way I am determined to get my Christmas spirit back!

Hence, operation Christmas!

Today's list of Christmas to-do's:

Gingerbread houses.
Redo the lights on the Christmas tree.
Wrap some presents.
Make fudge.
drink eggnog.
and of course...
"the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear."

so we will be doing plenty of that as well.

and the Ward Christmas party is tonight~ I wonder what I signed up to bring.

The Christmas Fizzle

I think I got to excited for Christmas a little too early.

Now I have the Christmas Fizzles where I am just waiting to take everything down.

It is my own doing.

Sadly, half of my Christmas tree lights went out and to change them~ I would need to take off all the decor and then put it back up again. Since I have the Christmas Fizzles~ it will likely just stay half lit until I take it down.

Darn you Christmas Fizzles!

UPRR goes Bananas!!

Banana Train

My Dad works for the Union Pacific Railroad. Apparently they are very interested in the well being of their employees.

On a whim, the manager bought the employees 12 cases of bananas. There are 30 lbs of bananas in each case. That's a grand total of 360 lbs of bananas.

Why on earth would they buy bunches of bananas for their employees you ask? The answer is simple.

"To stay warm".

When my Dad told me this. I couldn't stop laughing. BANANAS???
Mittens, coats, hats, or even hot chocolate I could understand but bananas??

Monkeys eat bananas but they live in tropical zones. They don't need to stay warm!

So I turned to my friend google to find out about bananas and keeping warm. I found that you can grind the banana peels and dry them out to create a burnable fuel. Hmmm... does the union know that their employees are planning on creating their own fuel system to keep warm?

So, I turned a different direction. Potassium. Apparently diets high in fat and potassium will keep your body warm during the cold months.

Thanks UPRR for my expanded banana knowledge.

Tomorrow~ banana bread influx!
