Washing 4 loads of laundry - Tiring
Folding and putting away all of it - Boring
Staring at all the clean clothing - Mesmerizing
Having virtually every stick of clothing you own clean (all except the clothes you're wearing) - Priceless
*huge grins* This is quite satisfying.

6 o'clock in the Morning?!
I was asleep, having a nice little dream, when all of a sudden I realized I was awake and the phone was ringing. I groaned. Who would be calling at this time of day?! After sitting in a foggy state for a minute, I remembered that my mom and dad might be calling from the marriage conference they're at. So, I got up to go look at who the missed call was from (the phone had stopped ringing by this time). I looked at the clock and it was 6 AM and I realized that my parents were still home and it was someone else calling. Then I remembered, it was probably my sisters calling! It turns out it was them, and they are TOTALLY on their was home right now! I can't even explain how excited I am.
On the note of the phone ringing... Last night at about 11:50, I was texting someone. I had just sent a message and was about to brush my teeth when the home phone started ringing. Who calls someone at midnight!?! So I ran to look at the caller ID, by the time I got there the phone had been answered. Tim asked me why I was calling the house, and I thought, huh? Well all of a sudden I hear a voice coming out of my pocket! And it's not that annoying voice that talks when I accidentaly push the voice command button, it was my MOM! So, I figure I must have accidentaly ca;lled my home phone when I put my cell in my pocket. It's certainly a good thing I didn't call someone else, cause who calls at midnight!?!
Well, time to start finishing cleaning the house. There isn't much to do, so I think as soon as I'm done I will make cookies to take to the contra dance tonight and for us to snack on WHEN THE GIRLS COME HOME!!!!! By the way, they are also bringing two suweeet! people from school home with them. BAM and Heather. Soooooo excited!

Lyric Love #1
I've been listening to Pandora and my iPod on shuffle on and off today. Here are some of the lyrics I heard that I liked in particular.
#1 "A tinkling piano in the next apartment, Those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant...These foolish things remind me of you" - These Foolish Things (Remind Me of You), by Michael Buble
#2 "You're gonna miss this, You're gonna want this back, You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast" - You're Gonna Miss This, by Trace Adkins
#3 "She had on a new dress and she curled her hair, She was looking too good not to go somewhere...Sit up on the hill and watch the sun go down, When the fireflies are dancing and the moon comes out..." - Big Green Tractor, by Jason Aldean
#4 "This night is sparkling, don't you let it go, I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home, I'll spend forever wondering if you knew, I was enchanted to meet you" - Enchanted, by Taylor Swift
#5 "For love may come and tap you on the shoulder, Some starless night!" - Catch a Falling Star, by Go Fish
#6 "Thank you Lord for my family, who show me Your love by the lives they lead." - Thank You Lord, by This Hope
#7 "It's sunny then Rainin' But It's Alright!" Just Wanna Be With You, by Troy and Gabriella (HSM)
#8 "I wanna walk and not run, I wanna skip and not fall, I wanna look at the horizon And not see a building standing tall, I wanna be the only one For miles and miles, Except for maybe you And your simple smile" - Cowboy Take Me Away, by The Dixie Chicks
#9 "True love is not the kind of thing you should turn down, Don't ever turn it down" - January Wedding, by The Avett Brothers
#10 "My paper heart is Yours now, I have landed in Your hands, Come so far to find out, My life will never be the same, Since you wrote, Your name On my paper heart" - My Paper Heart, by Francesca Battistelli
#11 "Today was a fairytale, I wore a dress, You wore a dark grey t-shirt, You told me I was pretty when I looked like a mess, Today was a fairytale" - Today Was a Fairytale, by Taylor Swift

About Burned Popcorn (among other things)
Last night I made myself popcorn, and to make a long story short... It burned. *sighs* Half the package smelled burned, and the other half WAS burned. I decided not to waste it though, and ate most of it. The strange thing about this whole experience was that I actually enjoyed it! The popcorn had an interesting taste, not so much burned, but it just tasted... brown. It was the strangest thing. Anyways, that was that and I hope I never burn my popcorn again.
Yesterday I spent a long time working with my Polymer clay. I had fun! Here's what I got done!
I thought that Mr. and Mrs. Potato head would be cute, so I made them! They turned out pretty well, but they took forever!
Meet the Mister...
And the Misses!
I also made the "minions" from Despicable Me. I'll do them a tiny bit differently next time, but I think they turned out to look really cute!
I also made little robots (Contrary to popular belief. Nick thought they were toast and I don't know what Tim thought they were.) The one with the pink bow is a girl and the one with the black top hat is a boy.
I think they all turned out very well!
Oh, and by the way, I won a huge long game of Settlers on Catan on Sunday. Mr. J, Rebekah, Tim and I were playing from 9:30pm-3am. It was seafarers of Catan with cities and knights and we played the fog island version. It was a very close game, but I won! That was amazing.

It Was a Wonderful Weekend
Last night I went with my family and watched a wonderful performance of "The Fiddler On The Roof". They did an amazing job! I got to help with some of the makeup, and that was really fun. I could have watched it again and enjoyed it very much. Or friend Matt stayed with us and today we all hung out quite a bit. I got a few earrings done and took pictures of a few pieces I made the other day. Here they are!
A pair of purple flowers that I made. I love how they turned out, and they remind me of Mary Engelbreit flowers.
Here are a couple little monkeys.
These ended up looking like lily pads, but they are just supposed to be green circles with flowers on them. I think I'm going to make them again and make them actually look like lily pads.
I made these cute little guys yesterday. I love love LOVE how they turned out! The little bow in the girls hair and everything. I just love them.
This is the first pair of earrings that I made for myself. They are a variation of peacock feathers. I wore them last night and it was so strange wearing earrings! But I enjoyed it and I'm glad I made them for myself.
These were an experiment, and I like how they turned out, but I think I'd do them differently next time.
I saw a pair of earrings that I liked, and so I thought I'd try making them. I'll probably make them smaller next time, but they are pretty cool. It's hard to see them in the picture, but they are hearts.
Well, there you have it! My earrings from the last couple days. :-)
