Tidbits

I am over at Mom and Dad's house waiting for "the fun to begin" but nobody is here except for Meridith, Hyrum and me. It seems like my scheduled little life has been a little off canter the past two weeks. That always happens when it is holiday time and family is up from Vegas and down from Idaho. I spend my days over here and Hyrum has an absolute blast with all of the big cousins running around. Unfortunately, though, I instantly turn into the neglectful homemaker--dirty dishes, laundry, a kitchen that could stand a good bleaching, and an answering machine full of dial tone messages. And I always feel horrible too because I have spent my day eating crackers and cookies and so has Hyrum. Every year, after the holidays, Aaron stomps out of our kitchen yelling "Munchies, munchies, munchies...I am sooooo sick of munchies." And every year we vow to eat nothing but broccoli, brown rice, and grilled chicken.

Today is Aaron's last day of work and I am already feeling nostalgic about how close his work was and the fact that he had a cell phone and that a paycheck came in every other Thursday morning. Aaron was really happy working for Orem City and it has been fun to see him enjoy his job.

Meridith and I, under extreme peer pressure, pierced our ears yesterday. I don't know how I feel about it today. Generally I don't wear any jewelry and it is way wierd to see earings on me. They look out of place. And my ears are stubby so they look funny. Meridith, on the other hand, looks really cute.
