Blog Already.....
Okay so I just realized that I have been getting on this thing almost every day in hopes that you all would post something new and getting disappointed every time there wasn't - and then I would sign off and get sad.... then I realized that I hadn't posted anything new either..... ooopps!!
Of course today however there were a few new ones out there and that made me happy! If you could see me now you would see that I am much happier... :)
Okay now for the reason for this blog....
Thanksgiving is just 2 days away and I just realized it. I mean I knew it was coming and everything but tomorrow is Wednesday and then Turkey day.... I just hadn't actually put it together in my head. Jon and the girls and I just went shopping at Fred Meyer to get the stuff to make a Green Bean Casserole (I'm taking one to the Powell's and the Mac's) and the place was a-hoppin'. People were cutting in line and swerving through the isles (to get what I don't know...). There was even a very fat lady in one of those motorized carts taking up the entire isle and angry at every person that asked her to move - we stayed clear of that one. So we got our stuff and we ourselves were in no hurry at all - so we just walked around the store and watched the craziness before us. It wasn't all that bad - but it was still very obvious that there was a holiday coming up - and that is when it hit me.... Thanksgiving is in 2 days..... Yikes!
I just thought you would all like to know that it is in 2 days - just in case you were like me and forgot or just didn't care to actually put it together....
THANKSGIVING IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER!!!!
TIME TO EAT SOME TURKEY (not you Ashley), MASHED POTATOES AND GRAVY, GREEN BEAN CASSEROLES, SWEET POTATOES, CRANBERRY SAUCE, ROLLS, SALADS (if you want to waste space on the plate), AND OF COURSE PIE - LOTS AND LOTS OF PIE!!
ENJOY ALL AND HAPPY TURKEY DAY!!!!

4:27am
Okay it's 4:27am and I am just sitting here not able to sleep. I've been awake for almost 2 hours now and finally gave up trying to sleep for a little while and came downstairs to tire myself on the computer. I hate when I can't sleep. I ended up just lying there thinking about everything that is "wrong" with my life. I started thinking about friends I haven't seen, past relationships, my weight, money, tv shows I have or haven't seen, Jon, Molly, Charlotte..... I just couldn't stop my brain from going. Then my stomach started to hurt and I had to pee - so I finished feeding Charlotte and went to the bathroom - that is when I decided I needed to just come down to the good ol' laptop! I knew that I could just post away any topics that were on my mind - however by the time I got down here - nothing cool was in my head anymore..... So instead of writing my amazing thoughts down - I am writing this..... NOTHING!!! I hope you all enjoy my blurbs about absolutely nothing. I plan on writing until I a. get a soar wrist or b. I fall asleep face first into the computer or c. just give up trying to be clever/funny or whatever you might call it and just go to sleep. I wish there was a magic pill I could take that would just knock me out.... oh wait there are.... however I can't take them.... I still have to be a mom in the morning - that probably wouldn't fly if I slept the entire day while Molly and Charlotte are screaming..... In fact I think there are women that go to jail for such awfulness.... or atleast I would imagine their children would be taken from them.... Oh to be white trash!!!
Speaking of white trash.... I had a dream that I had married one of the guys I dated while I was in college.... that was an interesting dream - I had 4 kids (all boys) and they were dirty and short and mean - just like their dad.... it was terrible.... then I woke up and looked next to me - there was my adorably clean baby girl and my clean, nice and tall husband and I knew that life was good! :)
Oooh I am starting to get tired - I just took a long pause and stared into no where.... maybe that means I am actually getting sleepy.... where are the poppies when I need them!!! :)
So did you all know that my ex-boyfriend Ben works at the 24 hour fitness right by my house - now if I were to decide to ever work out I couldn't (atleast not there) because how weird and uncomfortable would that be to work out infront of him.... seriously.... now I will never get to build that perfect physique!!!
Oh I took a very long pause that time.... like 2 minutes!!! :) I think I am going to end this thing and play some online games until my eyes begin to shut....
Good night all.... or good morning! depending on wether or not I actually get back to sleep! Wish me luck!

Windshield Wipers.......
Okay so I have to ask all you ladies out there... are your husbands/boyfriends/friends completely retarded when it comes to their wipers in the car? Jon thinks he is too cool (I am convinced) to use his wipers.... Like it makes him a stronger man when he just attempts to look through the wet glass.... It drives me absolutely insane. I have to ask him to turn them on - then once they are on - it's as though he doesn't know how to adjust them or even turn them off. It's rediculous! You should take a little drive in the country with him some time.... on a rainy day.... wait no better yet - how about a rainy night. The guy is not only wiperaphobic - he is also against his brights.... I kid you not.... he doesn't use his brights unless I remind him or tell him to. It's so awful riding with him. When we were first dating I was afraid to ask - and now I basically tell him if he doesn't I am going to drive....
I know that he isn't the only one because Angela and I were talking about it the other day and aparently Zack is the same way. I was just curious if any of the men in your life are like this? Are they too cool to use their wipers and brights too????
Oh men drive me nuts!!

Date Night
Tonight Jon and I are going on our first date since we had Charlotte. I am so excited!!! We are going to just go see a movie (Saw III) - but it will be fun. I can't leave Charlotte for more than 2 hours so that is the best movie for us to go see - it's only like an hour and 45 minutes.
Anyway - I am very excited and just wanted to quickly share it with you all!!!
I hope you all have a wonderful night too!

Our long week
So this has been a very long week. I think the only reason however is because all 4 of us in the Powell house are sick (no thanks to the Geniza family - you would have to know them to understand why it's their fault). I started feeling yucky Monday evening and then Charlotte got it Tuesday afternoon, Molly Wednesday morning and Jon Wednesday night. Basically this house is the war zone of nasty colds.... but we are fighting and winning thanks to Nyquil, Dayquil, cough drops and lots of suction devices for the girls.... I am finally feeling better today (in fact so much so that I even got completely ready - first time this week to do both hair and makeup and we even left the house and went shopping with my mom, Haley, Sarah and Lauren and Hayden....). I think we are at the tail end of this nasty cold!!! Anyway I just thought you would all like to know how the Powell house has been holding up!! :)

I hope you all recover well! Take a minute or 2 - heck take the day off if necessary... just remember to breath! I'm here if you need me!

BREAKING NEWS!!!
2.7 Earthquake centered in Downtown Portland this evening!!! Oh no!!!
So Jon and I just finished watching brokeback mountain and when we turned it off we turned it to the news... and it's "breaking news" a 2.7 earthquake "hit" in downtown portland. People were calling in and saying they felt it and all that jazz... anyone that has ever actually been in an earthquake that is more than a 5 or 6 point something knows that a 2.7 is just a pansy excuse for an earthquake...... Us California raised chilins would know that does not qualify to be called an earthquake.... seriously!!!
Anyway I just had to share this with you because when I saw this I just couldn't control my laughter.... I nearly woke Charlotte (who was asleep in my arms at the time).....
watch out - trees might be down because of the "earthquake" and flooding might be a problem due to the massive quake we just had!! :)
Good Night!
