Need I say more....

The frog says it all my friends!!! What to do, what to do? I took another adventure yesterday to Utah for a job interview... and I am still confused as ever. Sometimes I just want to stay here and not move away and other times I want out of here as soon as possible. I don't know what to do and I am getting pretty antsy. Don't get me wrong it is great to wake up any time of the day and do whatever you want... but it is only fun for about a week or so and I have passed the fun part. I am not complaining about my situation (ok maybe a little) because I know that I put myself into the situation but like my friend at the top that is about how I feel these last few days. I guess I just need to seize the day and get on with it, the problem is I don't know what it is! So for now I guess my frog and I will continue to ponder and looking for "it" although I think his it is different from my it. You know frogs have a simple life really, they sit on Lilly pads and hop around all day looking for food, waiting to have a princess come and kiss them so they will turn back into a handsome prince.... wow where did that come from? I guess I need to stop reading those fairy tale books to my nieces or nephews.... or I guess I could go look for a frog in my exploring for a new job, the question is where are the Lilly pads?

Divine Pastry, History Sites, and the Humanities

I survived driving in Boston and I had a great time in the process. I was able to see lots of cool sites, visit Jeremy and Shayna and boys, and have a great interview. I also got to go singing or running in the rain and get soaked from head to toe. I think they must make umbrellas differently in Boston than Idaho, because mine was a little bit broken by the end of the storm. I think the local Bostonians thought I was some crazy tourist walking in the rain while they all ran for cover, of course eventually I had to seek cover because I found the most wonderful pastry place in the world..... yes my friends I found Mike's Pastry shop. Words cannot describe the yumminess of this pastry I experienced. It was recommended to me by three or more people and it was worth the rain (and slightly getting lost) to locate it. If you ever find yourself in Boston my friends this place is worth searching out and locating. (sorry I don't have a picture to show you what it looked like.) There are lots of cool things to see on the way as well so you get the experience and the yumminess all in one. Any way enough about the divine pastry, I also got to see a lot of history sights and went to the Museum of Fine Arts, so there you have it history and humanities my favorites. Here are a few pics of my trip!

Boston......

Call me crazy.... call me a gypsy......... but oh my word I am going to Boston!!! Not to move (yet) but to have an interview for a job back there. I can't believe it is real and I probably will not until I get on that plane and arrive in Boston. How exciting is this? I don't know if I can stand the next 10 days before I leave, wow!!! I am going to Boston. ( Have I driven you all crazy now.... get use to it!!!!)

The week: Kids, Belly Dancing, and Utah-- what more is there

I have to say that not having a job kinda gives you a new perspective on life, well ok more like it just gives you time to do whatever and just leave because hey you can. So last week I had a lot of fun I must say. I went to the best girl party and learned how to belly dance, actually I should rephrase I attempted to learn to belly dance... I never quite got the hip thing, at least it didn't feel like I was doing it right. It was a lot of fun and we had lots of laughs. I also watched my nieces and nephews throughout the week and all I have to say is GO PARENTS you are the best. So like I said earlier one of the best things about not having a job is that you can just decide to do things at random. I decided to go to Utah on Thursday and spend some quality time with the family there. I have to say the game of SPIT has never been so intense and taken so long oh my word... I still say I won Kimi not matter what you think.... any way we watched lots of movies, classics to be exact like: Singing in the Rain, meet Frankenstein (our new favorite, got to love those old black and white shows) and the Grimm Brothers. We also went to one of my favorite places on earth.... yes my friends I ate at Panda Express... can we please have a moment of silence for the yummy the incredible orange chicken..... divine!!! I also went on a "walk" Shauna style around Logan. Word to the wise my friends when someone says lets go on a walk make sure you know what you are getting yourself into... ten hours, nine hills, two streams, 1000 blocks, and a cold morning later I returned. (Ok I may have exaggerated a little on this but if I don't that would disappoint Sha and I don't want to disappoint my older sister). Actually I quite enjoyed our walk and then we went to the Farmer's Market and had lots of fun. The best part of the whole trip was the chats we had (of course they were about the men in our lives--- oh wait I don't have a man in my life) any way they were great and I got to play with more of my fun nephews and niece. It was beautiful and I loved the change of scenery, but back to the grind on Monday... oh wait I don't have a job..... which brings me to the next entry for my blog what do I do now with my life... Utah, DC, Idaho, New York, Boston.... so many options so little time....

Interpretations please....

Ok so there I was minding my own business just sleeping away in my nice comfortable bed having a nice relaxed dream about something or other when dun dun dun (I don't know how to spell that sound) any way "He" entered my dreams. I kindly chatted with Him to make conversation to this individual I rarely speak to when all of a sudden the scene changes and there He is holding my arm and saying hey I want to show you something. Being the kind and generous person that I am, I follow him thinking ok He will leave as soon as he shows me his "something". You know what He shows me well folks it is.... a house and a beautiful one at that. He begins to describe it and how fabulous it is going to be and asks my opinion on it and then all of a sudden HE is talking about getting married and having kids and how much he loves me......(yes you may need to reread that part) wake up, I tell myself wake up, what is He doing... then I turn to him and realise that yes folks I have feelings for Him too and well .... in my head I started yelling wake up you fool, wake up and I wake with a start... thinking what the heck was that...... So I know that many times people have dreams that are brought upon because of happenings the night before or discussions or movies or whatever... but I ask you all what does it mean when you wake up it feels undeniably real and so far-fetched that it makes you wonder if it was more of a nightmare or a dream. (Ok I will go with dream because there was nothing nightmarish about someone expressing their undying love to you). I know many will think I am reading into this dream but I am not I am just puzzled by its happenings and thinking what the heck are my dreams doing and where the heck did HE come from? I know some will wonder as they read this post whom HE is, well some things are just not allowed to be spoken of and those that all ready know..... take this secret to the grave. Why am I sharing this dream with the world, well that is easy just check out the title and let your interpretations begin.....

The State Fair..... Well ok the Blackfoot Fair

This is Shorty the horse, he doesn't look very short too me.

Friday Night I went to the amazing fabtabulous Blackfoot Fair. I went with Ryan, Kristy, and the kids and it was a lot of fun. We saw some animals-small, big, and giantar; rode some rides, and of course ate greasy food- yummy tiger ears and something new this year- Fried Candy Bars!!!

Out of the mouth of babes.... my hero

OK.. so sometimes in life you have those little moments that are frustrating but then the Lord sends you some humor to remind you that it is not as horrible as you might think. So here is the story, Friday I went to take Clifford (my car) to the store; we drive out of the drive way and my car does something a little funky so I stop and get out and look at my tires.... yes my friends I have a flat tire. So a few hours later I go out to my car to fix my tire with my nephew Carson and my Dad (supervisor). I get the materials out of the trunk, put the jack in its place and start getting the car up. Piece of cake right, I can do this. So the next step is to get the hub cap off the wheel so I can unscrew the bolts and take the tire off, I got that covered no problem. So I put the thing on that is suppose to loosen the bolts and nothing happens.... no movement. So I turned to Carson and said I don't think I can do this because I am not as strong as your Dad and Kimi (previous joke). He looks at me and says you look like a grown up so you must be strong. Then he tells me that never fear he is very tough, because hello boys are tougher than girls but never fear girls we are smarter than boys. (Good philosophy I think). Any way eventually with the help of my tough 5 year old nephew we get the wheel off and the spare on.... I am feeling pretty good about myself right now until I realize the spare is sticking out further than all of the other tires. I look at my Dad and he starts to laugh... yes folks I put it on backwards. I say duh, I should have known that because the air thing was against the car instead of the on the outside. My nephew had wandered away for a bit and came back to see what was taking me so long and what does he say.... Jenn you put the tire on backwards the air thing is on the wrong side with that duh attitude that I love Carson dearly for. So, there you have it folks out of the mouth of babes or 5 year old boys we learn some very basic principals: 1. If you look like a grown up than you are one. 2.Boys are tougher than girls except Aunt Kimi. 3. Girls are smarter than boys. and 4. Always put the air thing sticking out when you change your tire. You gotta love kids, I surely do and I have 10 nieces and 5 nephews to remind me everyday not to take myself so seriously... thank you to each one of you and especially to my tough 5 year old that used his muscles to change my tire.
