My blog title has nothing to do with anything.  I just don’t know what else to call it. It was the first thing that came to mind.  It has been an interesting week.  It has been cold and windy.

I have been on a Disney kick.  There are new documentaries on Netflix that have really sparked my interest.  It has also led me to watching some of the classics.  I watched Beauty and The Beast, Pete’s Dragon, Chitty Chitty, Bang Bang, Homeward Bound and I don’t remember the other one… 

I have loved it!  I even looked online and found a 168 disk set of Disney movies!!  I really wanted it but I don’t have the money right now.  Stupid bills.  How come things always hit at once?  Insurance renewal, several medical bills, and gas at $4.20 a gallon and something else big that I can’t remember. 

It has really been fun to watch the movies.  Number one, they are just clean and wholesome movies.  They don’t have all the filth that you see everywhere now.  And two, it brings back so many memories.  I remember when I was a little girl I would put on my purple silk pajamas, Mom would wear her silky blue ones, Dad would wear his tight ankle grey sweats and we would have movie nights.  Mom would always make homemade popcorn and we would use our really large pillows Grandma Tingey made all of us and we would watch a movie, probably  Chitty.  Oh, don’t forget Chief.  He was always right there with us. 

I want to take a trip to Disney World!!  I have wanted to go back since the day I got home when we went, (I was in second grade and it was December J  Yes, I have been counting for a long time. 

We are having a fundraiser next Saturday.  I am stressing.  I really don’t think I would stress as bad if it weren’t a fundraiser!  If I could just plan an enjoyable evening for everyone and not have to worry about every stinking penny I think I would not stress as much.  I can’t wait for it to just be over!! 

We had a wonderful BBQ tonight. A young couple in the ward invited a lot of the young couple over and we had a nice time.  As much as I loved it, it made me sad in a way.  Why you say?  Well it is just me feeling sorry for myself. 

 It made me miss home!  A lot of the people there were from here and talking about their families and it made me miss mine.  We have looked at a few houses here, NOTHING SERIOUS FOR US, but needless to say, we have looked at a few.  I want to have people over for BBQs!  If I lived in Idaho I know exactly where I would want to buy a house.  I could even buy a house for 60k less than I can here!  I could buy a house with a basement, a house with a yard, a house where people don’t live in their garages, a house where you don’t have to worry about creepy neighbors 24 hrs a day!  And we could have a fire-pit and we could have fires and roast hotdogs and marshmallows!  If we lived in Idaho, granted Brian would have a fantastic job there too, I wouldn’t have to stress over finding the money to come home in two weeks for Mother’s Day, or coming home a couple times in the summer at $600 bucks a pop!  And since we would live in Idaho, I wouldn’t have to take two weeks off to see family, which would mean less ‘vacation’ and I could actually hold a job!  A job for Jessica means more money for Jessica and Brian to do fun things.  And we wouldn’t leave the state as often so I could have my dog!  And when I did, Mom and Dad could watch my lil’ Cooper!  Doesn’t it sound just all so wonderful?!  I like this dream. 

Like I said, it was a fun BBQ but it just made me sad in a way.  Anyways, enough of that.  Brian is going to Edmonton again next week and will be in Wyoming the next week and who knows where the week after that.  I need to come up with some projects that I can do to keep busy.  Any suggestions? 

Last night we fed the missionaries.  At first I was bitter because they always call us on Thursday night and ask if we can feed them Friday.  Friday is date night!!  One of the missionaries is really ‘off’ and I just particularly care for him ha.  Mean right?  So I went in to the night with a bad attitude.  We went with them to teach a new family that is getting ready to be baptized.  It was so wonderful.  We had a lot of great discussion with them and overall it was a great, uplifting evening.
