on my mind

Mom, Dad and Aunt Julia got here today. What does this mean to you? Well, it means you didn't see me at church today. It means you probably won't get a phone call from me this week just to chat and it means you won't see as much of me. But you will all be on my mind!! And yes Jana, I will continue to post every day!!

Have I mentioned

Steph had a few friends over today to hang out in the pool. While out there, they decided to make up a dance, among other things.

They had a blast!! By the way, have I mentioned...Jared walks on water!!

and he can also scratch his toe while diving...

AH HAH....WHAT CAN YOUR KIDS DO?

nothing to brag about

non eventful day here in the Wright house. For the most part, all of the kids stayed in today. It was quite a peaceful day. Wonderful to just be with the family!! I really wasn't feeling well all day. I got a lot of reading done and that's about it!!

As seen on TV

I was with a few women this evening that I go to church with and after discussing what we had met to discuss we stayed and visited for a while. As with all women, we talked about all kinds of different stuff...dishsoap, laundry soap, how to stretch your dollars, vinyl lettering, owning a business, the economy, how to have cash in our pockets without hubbies knowing, you know, all the important stuff in life. But the one topic I am still thinking about is all the crap one can buy when sucked into those infomercials you see all night long. Yes, some of the stuff is worth trying but for the most part, it's a waste. We talked about the Turbo Cooker, the Green Bags to keep your produce fresh, makin bacon, instyler, bendaroos, EZ combs, the BumpIt (which I really want to try) and a ton of other stuff. There are so many products out there!! So I'm just wondering...what infomercial product do you remember most AND have you ever bought anything from those infomercials? I'll be honest here, I haven't but hubby did buy the TurboCooker and the FoodSaver (both of which I liked and got a lot of use out of). Your turn.

I got a good nap today

So my family always makes fun of me for having the inability to stay awake thru a whole movie. It doesn't matter what movie it is or who I'm with, I CANNOT stay awake thru an entire movie. I would say this happens at least 80% of the time. But this really only happens in the comfort of my own home. I don't fall asleep at someone else's home or in the theatres but if I am at my own home and someone pops a movie in, you can guarantee that I will be napping. Which is why I was shocked today when hubby nudged me to tell me I was snoring too loud...I was at the movies watching Night at the Museum 2. For one, it was a good movie and I was really into it and for two, I was in the theatre!! Who falls asleep at the movies?!?!

F&E

I'll be the first to admit that when Fresh and Easy made there debut here in the valley I was so unimpressed. I couldn't understand what all the hype was about. But since they sent out $5 off of a $20 purchase I decided I would take a shot at it. I am not kidding when I tell you that I struggled to hit that $20 mark. I was not about to pay for bananas that were individually priced or a 4 pack of apples. Us Wrights buy things by the case!! And 4 apples would last about 20 seconds in this house. So I bought a bunch of stuff I didn't need and maybe 1 thing that I did, saved my 5 bucks and left. And I never went back...UNTIL I moved out here to Timbuktu and right on my main cross streets sat a Fresh and Easy! After about a month or 2 of living here and passing it on a daily basis I decided to go back...give it a 2nd try because I'm nice like that. And lo and behold, I LOVED IT!!! They are really just as cheap as any other place on a lot of their stuff and honestly, their stuff is so fresh!! I am addicted to their fresh pizza dough...no preservatives...all you do is roll it out...1 DER FULL!! They also sell the best chocolate for dipping as I think I've pointed out before. Their yeast is cheaper than anyone else's (except Costco). But the one reason I frequent that place as much as I do is for these....You will not find better Cashews than these bad boys!! Not at Sprouts, not at Sunflower, and definitely not in a planters can at Wal-mart! I've had lots of company in the last 6 months and ALL of them have tried and fallen in love with these cashews!! Now, go and get yourself a bag!! You'll be glad you did!

I've got a challenge!!

So my friend Janalee is trying to outdo the rest of us by blogging every day in the month of June. Do you really think she'll make it? I know many of us have tried this a time or two and never succeed but Jana is different...she's one of those girls who finishes everything she starts. Well, I refuse to let her outdo me so I, too, will be blogging everyday this month (I hope) and I would like to challenge all of you to do the same. So, if your up to this challenge, please let me know as I will check your blog daily and those of you who keep your promise will get a little treat for your loyalties to the blogging community. And your daily blogs can be as short or as long as you want them. Even 1 sentence will count...kinda like FaceBook. I'll be doing lots of those I'm sure. Oh yeah, June 1st doesn't count since I am posting so late. Anyways, look at these pics of Jarom...

Is he a studmuffin or what??
