It's a holiday!?!

Didn't you know that today was a holiday? You didn't? Then you must not live in Utah. Today is Pioneer Day so I don't have to work, which I must say is pretty sweet. I called my mom just to talk and when she picked up she was concerned I was sick or hurt or something since I wasn't at work.

But nope, it's just your typical LDS/state holiday to spend lazily around the house, thinking about packing but not really getting much accomplished. I don't feel at all bad about that though since K. came over last night and we packed up our movies, games, and knickknacks from the living room plus all my kitchen stuff (except a crock pot and plates, bowls and utensils for two since we still have to eat for the next two weeks). We were packing fools.

But I have been semi-successful at writing posts to save up for the next week or two when I know I won't have time to post anything. Other than that, it's been a day full of nothing.

All this nothing has got me worn out so I think I'm gonna go take a nap now.

Bachlorette Parties Are Fun!

Scientists are not known for their spelling abilities

I am reading a test procedure here at work and I just stumbled upon a step which says to use a large "peatree" dish. Peatree? Is that a tree that grows peas? Oh, silly chemists who try to write things, you amuse me.

And we're back.

Whew, we're I'm home. We got in around 2am and get a few hours of sleep before 8am when I had to be at work and Craig had to load up his work's truck and drive 8 hours to Nevada for his last week of work. I'm so sleepy but I am sure he is more so I won't complain.

We had a great weekend and I have lots of fun pictures to post but that will have to wait. I have so much to do before Wednesday when people come to take our dresser away and K. comes to help me pack. I'm not organized enough to pack yet!

I did a little after dinner today but then had to rush to bible study and after I got home I realized I only had energy for one more pre-move task - making these cookies. I stumbled upon this recipe a while ago and have meant to try them for a while but here are the three reasons I choose today to finally do so:

#1. I need chocolate right now. And as I am a women, that is a valid excuse all by itself but there is also

#2. It uses up a lot of ingredients in my pantry that I seldom use but don't want to just throw out when we move.

#3. Wednesday I will be packing up my big pot so this was my last chance.

Now that I have finished writing this, the cookies should have cooled so I am going to have myself a snack then finish up some books. Oh wait, "finish the library books and take them back" is another of my pre-move tasks. Man, I am being so efficient tonight.

Here's a classic, informative clip in honor of the city we flew in and out of this weekend. Enjoy.
