Winter revisited

Are you Serious? Snow? 3 to 4 inches of it on my car this morning. I cried...for an hour.

Mmmmmm, finger lickin good!

Does this look appetizing to anyone? Breakfast burrito anyone?

Sugar Lips and Skipbo tips

I may have had a break down yesterday. Let's just say that I was really thirsty for some fresca and all we had was some sugary lemonade. I didn't even need a glass.

Also, we played some skipbo last night. Actually, I didn't really play, I just pretended to help Poncho win. Why do people cheat by looking at your cards? Cheaters never prosper! Maybe you should remember that Michelle.

Normal...maybe not.

I realized today that all the pictures of me on the blog are kinda weird looking, so I decided to put in a fairly normal picture of me on. It's probably more normal because Laura's in the picture. Okay, who's kidding who? We are a couple of ridiculous redheads. I love the ridiculousness though.

The early bird gets the oil change

This is the view from the waiting area of the Jiffy Lube. Don't you think that it is such a ridiculous thing when you have to wait an hour for an oil change. About a month ago I was there at J.L. with a friend. We drove all over town trying to find a place where the wait wasn't over an hour. We started at J.L. and ended up at J.L. The service there is so so, but for what you end up paying in the end, I think it's a jip. Today on my day off, I decided to get my oil changed. It was a week or two over due. Last night I decided that I would get up reasonably early to go to Wal Mart to do it. They open the Lube "express" (not a word that always describes the experience 9 times out of 10) at 7am. I was there at 7:30. It took approximately 20 minutes. For all of you who are having a difficult time waiting for your oil change, the early bird gets the worm. That's all there is to it.

The man pictured was sure intersting. He was missing his front teeth which made me wonder what his life was like. Definately entertaining to observe. He was as efficient as he could be under the circumstances, then again, he wasn't the one changing the oil which is why it took sooo long.

The "scullet"

Laura, Eric, and I spotted this character outside the Wilkinson Student Center on BYU campus. There was a whole group of these people just standing out front. It made me very curious. Obviously it was some cultural gathering. But I wondered if this gentleman in particular always wears his hair like this. All bald but a patch in the back. I have heard one of my co-workers refer to this haircut as the "scullet". Not too many of them around, that's for sure. I am not making fun of these people. It was just the perfect photo opportunity. Not something you see every day.

Show me some teeth!

Today is my friend Britney's birthday so . . . in her honor, I put in the Billie Bob teeth. I always said to myself that I would never put in a pair of those disgusting things... but, never say never. Don't we look like we're ready for a night out on the town? Happy Birthday Brit!!

Here's to our health!

The past couple of days I haven't been feeling well, in fact I became very familiar with my room and my bed. Those who know me best know that when I am reaaallly sick, I do not look well. If you want a real description besides this photo, ask Michelle. I definitely do not do any hair or make-up. This is not typical Kimmy behavior.
However, today was a new day. I am not quite at 100%, but I am so happy to be back to my regular routine. I felt so good today, I got a haircut from Derrell. Things are really looking up. Today was splendidly warm. I know that we are given these moments of sickness to appreciate our health. So, today I'm grateful for my health. By the way, my tongue is unusually long and pointy and this picture doesn't do it justice.

Wouldn't you take him home too?

I don't know why, but I seem to enjoy watching this cooking show on TLC. Those of you who know me, know that I'm a so so cook. Nothing to sneeze about. I've never been one to watch cooking shows, but I adore the Take Home Chef. Maybe it's because he is good looking. Maybe it's because every woman that he picks up from the grocery store, he treats them so good. Or, maybe I just can't wait to see who they are cooking for. It is usually a husband or a boyfriend and I like to see who these women picked to be their companion. Oh, and the food part is fun too. Check it out. You'll love his hair!!

Mickey's Big Day

Here she is. You would never guess, but the girl with the birthday hat is 30 yrs. old today. I know, I was surprised too. She looks like she is 22, don't you think? Michelle, my sister and I have been together for a long time. A whopping 28 years and 5 months. We have had some very good times together, in fact some of the best times I've ever had, she has been there. I have always wanted to do what she does. I love that she knows exactly what I need. She makes me want to be better and she makes me laugh. Michelle beautifies everything that she touches. She is my Mickey and I love her!!! Happy Birthday Mick!!!

Instruments

Yesterday was Stake Conference and Mom and Dad were on their way back home from Phoenix so they stayed in Provo Saturday to Sunday. Michelle went to Luke's ordination, so Mom and Dad went with me to Stake conference. Before the conference, however, I was invited along with some of the other leaders in our stake to a luncheon with Elder Quentin L. Cook. I was a little apprehensive to attend, mostly because our stake president asked us to think of some questions to ask. I didn't feel like I had much to contribute in that particular setting. I'm grateful for that experience looking back. I learned a lot. The past couple of weeks have been somewhat difficult and the things that have gotten me through are the advice and council of inspired priesthood holders and a father who is worthy to give me a blessing when needed. How grateful I am for a loving Heavenly Father who teaches us through these amazing men who are worthy to bless our lives and teach us. Having said that, I am also grateful for the women in my life. More specifically, an earthly mother, who calls me twice a day, knowing that her daughter is struggling. She cries with me and comforts me in a way no one else can. The Lord surely knows each one of us because he gives us people who will help us along the way.
