Pick two please.

*Good, patient, attentive mother

*Thorough house cleaner

*Cook each meal and never pick-up take-out or fast food

*Doting wife who anticipates her husband's needs and wants

*Organized and inspiring college English teacher

* In-tuned, thoughtful, and friendly 1st Counselor in the Relief Society

*Fit, healthy-eater who makes time to stretch, relax, and hit up all the food groups

*Laundress (gag me, ugh)

*A friend who can be there, listen, show-up, and follow-through

*Creative in any way shape or form

*Well read and writes regularly

*Reads scriptures everyday, says every prayer, seeks out service, and attends the temple regularly

*Am I missing something?  Oh, person who does not miss anything...

Someone please pick two of these things and I will work on them.  Thomas don't read this- you're so nice you'll probably try and do all the other 11 just to help me out.  Erase this from your thoughtful memory T-Rob!

I can only do well two at a time.  Otherwise I get cranky.  Real real cranky.  How do you all do it?!

today feels like christmas time

I'll take what I can get.

And then I'll wear a Christmasy shirt all day.

And be happy all day even if I have bad hair.

Dear Hawaii,

I love you, but would it kill you to give us at least one good wintery Christmas and while you're at it why do you make me give up on trying when it comes to hair, make-up, and personal appearance in general. It's just no fun blow-drying, but doing hair in humidity? A losing battle.

We can still be friends though. I will love and hate you for years to come. And look very homely as I do so. I've made peace with that.

Hooray!

Stephanie
