Jon said I love you today.
And of course I said it back.

Oh the Weather Outside is Frightful...
But the fire is sooo delightful...
Wow, I can't believe it's been almost a month since I posted last. It's been very cold, I think we DO need a fire...
Update: I haven't been working out every day like I was planning. It's been sporadic. A few times a week, plus Jon and I have been playing a lot of football/baseball lately. Still not enough exercise, though, since I haven't lost anything. I haven't gained either. But the goal is to lose, so it's time to get back on track! I asked Megan if she'd be willing to take some pictures of me so I can post before and after pictures. Maybe we'll take them this week so I can actually see the progression and see my body changing. I think that will help motivate. Unfortunately, nothing much seems to motivate me lately. I don't know what my problem is. I just must not want it bad enough.
Work is going well, but I'm getting a little restless. Answering phones all day and listening to students complain is getting old.
Jon has had the stomach flu for the past few days, and as much as I brag about my 'awesome' immune system, I think I may be coming down with something. I always get the 'annual cold', but something feels different. My throat is scratchy and my stomach is slowly starting to churn. This weather is slowing me down - I've been going to bed early, but when my alarm goes off in the morning, I'm still pushing snooze about 10 times.
I haven't had a debit card for 2 weeks now. I think it's a blessing in disguise. It should be coming this week, and I'm hoping to spread the quarter tank of gas that I have over the next week until it comes in the mail. I have my grocery list ready, too! At least it's safe to walk around the mall lately. There are temptations, but I know I can't give in to them! You can't buy stuff without money. I haven't let myself go into Target, because I may just break out my checkbook in that store... I still think about the emerald green sweater I saw in there a month or two ago...
I did buy tickets to go see David Lanz's Christmas concert. He's a famous pianist and he's coming to the Covey Center on December 4th. Along with Christmas music, he'll also be playing his more famous songs, like Cristofori's Dream (I think of Ernie Scheyder and Tri-City when I hear that song...he used to play it all the time in the chapel, so it would echo all over the school). And of course we girls would also play it over and over again.
I wanted to see The Nutcracker in SLC this year also, but the tickets are very expensive. BUT, Megan and I discovered that they are also showing the ballet at the Covey Center, and it's a lot less expensive. Maybe that can be our Christmas gift to each other. How about that, Meggo? Dinner and a show!
Anyway, here's my Christmas list:
- contact solution
- deodorant
- toothpaste
- gift card (to pretty much anywhere: I love DSW, Target, Maceys, Macys, JCPenny, Old Navy, Sephora, etc.)
- handheld mirror (to do my makeup)
- purse (I love this brown satchel http://www.handbagheaven.com/charley-bowler-satchel.html or this brown messenger bag http://www.handbagheaven.com/sonia-stitched-messenger-bag.html )
- Victoria's Secret 'Sexy Little Things Noir' perfume. It's my new favorite. (Jon knows this, so we'll see...)
And, I would like to know what men like for gifts! I swear, they are the hardest to shop for. I think I know what I'm getting everyone on my list already, except for John Butler and Jon Knight. The two men (other than Dad) are who I have to buy something for. I need ideas. And they say girls are hard...
Mom and Dad are coming out here for Thanksgiving! They fly out Thanksgiving Day, and I can't wait to see them. Mom will need to make some lefsa! Mmm... :) Only a week and a half away...
