smarter than blogger

I was not smarter than blogger for quite some time. I could not for the life of me figure out how to log into this dang blog of mine. I even thought it had turned into some odd bible study site. please visit http://www.micky-d.blogpot.com/ and you will see what I mean.

But today, as I was getting painfully bored laying in bed whilst suffering from some wicked food poisoning, I took the time to do it. And BinG! I became smart enough to use blogger again. I doubt that I will ever be smarter, I mean, look at my blog, I still don't even know how to edit my sidebar!

At any rate. I am back for at least one post before I become to stupid to log in again. Here's the sitch(uation).

*Jeff and I moved in with my parentals. I would take and post a couple of pictures, but it is too messy for reasons that you will soon find out. We really like the freeness and quiteness there of. Plus we feel free to eat my parents out of house and home. Free food is awesome. I also really like to chat with my mom when Jeff works late.

*We've had a busy summer. The only thing I really have pictures of is the balloon thing on the fourth of July. My phone was new and I was really excited that it could take pictures. Here you go.

It was early, okay?

*Last weekend we trekked up to Idarho to a big ol' family reunion that didn't end up being so "big 'ol" after all, since no one really went. That was kind of lame, except that I probably wouldn't have talked to anyone but my immediate family anyway. It was fun to see Jed and Celeste's house finally. Also, the shower provided was very magical and we are eternally grateful for the opportunity to be clean.

*We got back from Zions on Saturday with some fantastically awful food poisoning from some random drive up grease pot in Washington, UT. But we won't discuss that too much. We got to our campsite at 1:30 on Friday morning and finished setting up camp at 2:30. Thankfully my Jeff let me "sleep" in the car while the menfolk did all the work. Nice. The next morning we had to wake up at 7 to go wave running, sea-dooing, or whatever the heck it's called. At that hour with no sleep I did not quite understand the draw. I was pretty much terrified at first, but I got to like it in the end. Good times. Very hot. Saturday morning everyone got up to hike Angel's Landing, a hike that involves 3 foot path with large cliff and a chain to help you climb nearly vertically for the last mile or so. I did not go. There was not a change in the very hot place that I would get up at 6 am to do that to myself. I slept past 9 and was quite pleased with myself. Next on the agenda was the narrows. This was a great time, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Hiking a shaded river in a canyon is about the only thing besides swimming that sounds remotely fun to do in the heat of southern Utah. It was fun, and beautiful.

There were many signs posted to not feed the many squirrels or you would be fined $100 and have your hand gnawed off. Well, Jeff accidentally dropped an almond, and you know, if you give a squirrel an almond...he won't gnaw off your hand, however, he will climb on your lap and start drinking out of your platypus, bladder, water container with a tube, or what have you. Pretend this guy is me and that he is sipping out of aforementioned tubey thing. Sheesh. The audacity of those squirrels.

So have a good one, peeps! I might post again, and I might not. Only time will tell.

Here's a little P.S.

My husband is basically the sweetest man in the world. I had to work a lot of hours last week to be able to have Thursday and Friday off. On the homestreach on Wednesday when I was suffering the most Jeff came to take me to lunch and brought me these flowers and a bunch of fresh picked raspberries! So thoughtful. I really love that man.
