Jason, Maddey and I were all out running errands and I decided that I drastically needed a haircut and my eye brows waxed. I love my haircut....I decided to go cheap and noticed a sign that said $6.99 on a new salon as we were passing by and thought well at least I won't have to have my bangs in my eyes anymore! Boy was I surprised! Although I ended up spending around $26.99 for all my services...I also got it styled what the hell and then $10.00 for the waxing and voula I am a new woman. now I need my hair colored. I was so amazed that I got a great cut for so little!

I am sitting here typing on the computer, while I should be sewing the apron for Maddey's class basket for the art auction coming up! I am such a procrastinator!!!!!

I just slathered stuff on the boy's feet because of the cracking of the skin on his feet. They hurt but he doesn't like pedicures or lotion so I had to shop for something to fix things. I finally found it at of all places Bed, Bath and Beyond. So I am making him just sit there with his feet up and he is hating every minute of it. Poor Baby!

The new car is great so much better than the van...I am actually looking forward to visiting Jason and driving 2 hours every other weekend!

I seriously hate buying a new car! It's not even new just new to us....the fact that we are in a recessiona dn they are being so tight on credit is so not helping! You have to jump through so many hoops to get anywhere! We are spring cleaning this week and getting ready to ship Jason off to Carbon County at the beginning of next month for work for around 4 to 6 weeks. I hate when he is gone that long but the money is so great when he is gone that long. Maddey is so excited for Valentine's Day it's not even funny. Her and I bought Monster Jam tickets for Jason for Christmas and it happens to land on Saturday (i.e. Valentine's Day) so it was like 2 gifts in 1, I love those!

I have a pork roast in the oven, it smells so good! I love Martha Stewart as all of you probably already know, and in her Living magazine this month they had the best recipe for pork roast, with fresh thyme, rosemary and Sage mixed with Garlic and olive oil smeared all over the roast and it looked so good that I immediatly thawed out this great roast that one of Jason's co-workers Mike (or as Jason calls him Boomhauer) who is from Wyoming and stayed with us for a month or so while working out here in Utah last summer and slaughtered one of his neighbors pigs for him and gave us this wonderful pork raost to eat and it smells divine. Paired with some new potatoes and corn on the cob I might have a new "Last Supper" request.

Speaking of last supper requests did anyone see last nights Top Chef on Bravo? I can't believe they sent Leah home I totally thought Stefan should go, over cooked Salmon yucky and he is an arrogant horses behind! But bravo for Carla! She scares me with her eyes and the faces she makes sometimes but way to show that caterer's can do it too!

The bunnies are looking for new homes, well not all of them but some. 9 is to many and we are moving in a few months and cannot move 9 bunnies! Jason is sad but I also think relieved. He hates to travel so much and have me take care of so many rabbits. They are cute but some are mean.

The girl tripped over the dog today...it was funny but not funny if you know what I mean. The dog came running just as she turned around to walk into the kitchen and tripped right over Lucy and fell down and twisted her wrist as she fell. Lucy had no idea what was going on. So yes funny, but no not funny.

Taxes are done, boy was that a pain in the ass! It took 2 days and lots of hunting because the boy has no idea where to put any receipts, even though I have a special folder for when he gets back and one for when he is gone. I am on the cusp of being organized. I try really hard and then they are both home for the weekend and all the work that I did during the week is completely gone. I am trying to sort through and get rid of things before we move. Donating to the women's shelter so far 3 bags of my clothes and 5 bags of clothes and shoes that are to small for the girl. My desk unfortunately looks as though a tornado hit it. I am going to redo all our files this week.
