Quote of the week: Nathaniel

One night, telling stories around the fire pit.... 

Rich: Once upon a time there was a blade of grass who's name was Sergio. He was different from all the other blades of grass. Do you know why he was so different? 

 Nathaniel:  He was the only blade of grass with a name?

 

Oh, he makes me smile!

Here is another good quote:

Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.

Albert Einstein

So True!

 

 

 

Friday Confessional

Friday Confessional with GLAMAZON

I confess:

• As I write this, my children are still in their pJ's watching Ariel's Beginning.
• They are watching it in Spanish.

• I have no idea why.  They don't speak Spanish.

 

 

• I'm addicted to Bejewelled on Facebook.
• Why did I ever try it in the first place?!
• I was taught in elementary school to 'just say no'.
• Why does that become harder to do when you're in your 30's?
• Nonononononononono. No!
• See?  I can do it in theory.
• In real life I'm still a total addict though.  Don't ever try it.

• This is a terrible Blackberry photo, taken while driving in a snowstorm, but I had to try to get a shot of this lady.  She had a huge wad of toilet paper sticking out of her nose.  

Just remember her if you ever think you are having a bad day.

•  I'm meeting some good friends for lunch.
• At IKEA.
• How cool is that?
• Way better than the mall.
• I can't wait to see them!
• I guess I'd better quit blogging and get ready to go.
• I hope you all have a great Friday :D

I feel like I don't have much to say today.  Just trying to keep it all together. 

Trying to enjoy the summer and spend time with my kids.  

I'm watching my belly expand and waiting for it's button to pop out like a visual timer, letting me know that Jack will soon be fully cooked and ready come out.

Trying to take deep breaths and focus on the present.

I'm thinking I need to go pull some weeds in the front yard.

I'm thinking I need to keep the pile of laundry in my closet from becoming a mountain.

I'm thinking I need a good amount of rest in between those tasks, because I'm really tired.

That's what's up in the Hendricks' house today.

Fascinating, I know.

 My little snuggle bug.

  London always sleeps with her eyes half open like that.  It's kind of freaky.

Bye Bye Beautiful

I sold my beautiful convertible today.

Isn't she gorgeous?

Yes, she is a Michael Scott car.  The Michael Scott car to be exact.  Silver and everything.

My favorite thing about her was the way she smelled.

Super clean.

She just smelled good.

Without a car freshener.

The man who bought her was really nice.  He was tall and thin, with greying hair...maybe 50.  He got cancer and his wife left him, so he was single.  He felt like he needed a fun car.  Why not?  I'm sure the fact that the car likes to go topless won't hurt, either.  I hope the Sebring brings him luck, catches him someone worthy of marriage.

He paid full asking price- not one bit of haggling.  He was so appreciative of the condition my car was in- how immaculate she was.  It made me happy; I know if he's grateful for her being well-maintained he'll probably take good care of her, too.

Bye-bye Beautiful.

You're in good hands.

But I'll miss you. 

*Sniff*

Free Fish Tacos For Us All!

Sweet Summertime!

We are loving the warm weather here at the Hendricks' house.  

I finally have the faintest little bit of a tan line.

The weeds in the backyard are somewhat in control.

And the kiddos are enjoying our small pool despite the dog slobber additive it contains.

This weekend is only getting better because

if you click HERE you can download a coupon

for a FREE Rubios fish taco, valid tomorrow

(good only in Utah)

Their tacos are the best- they taste like authentic Baja cooking.

And I am crazy-pregnant-woman-craving one.

Also, Saturday is free fishing day in Utah in all lakes and rivers;

take your kids and have fun.

We'll be at Utah Lake's Pelican Bay.

Did I mention I love summertime?  I do.  I love it.
