Points

How many servings of something that is zero points can I have before it turns into a point? I got some single serving broccoli and cheese steamers and some soups that have 0 points..I just want to eat large quantities of these and magically become skinny.

St. Christina the Astonishing

So, I'm reading about virgin martyred saints and so far my favorite is St. Christina (feast day 7/24, folks). She was imprisoned by her Dad, Governor Urban, after destroying his collection of pagan idols and then tortured by several successing pagan regimes. At one point her breast was cut off by Governor Dion and instead of renouncing Christ (or dying) she threw her severed breast at his face. She did the same thing to the person who cut off the other one. Awesome.

2:33 A.M...Me and Steve Coogan

Seriously..I can't find anything better to do than try and remember that guys name from Hamlet 2 at 2:30 A.M. He gets my funny bone every time.

A nugget of wisdom

If I never told you anything worth knowing this makes up for it: Never eat salsa past ten at night. You will have salsa burps at 2:17 in the morning. There, now you know.

Spring time for Julie in Germany

Wow, this is the first day in 2010 I actually feel productive. We (I really) raked the accumulated leaves, pine cones and needles out of the yard, tilled my garden patch and planted peas. My neighbor (who is autistic, my age and pretty much awesome) helped me dig up some tree roots that have taken over the grass, or rather the area in my front yard that should have grass in it. Whew!

I am ready for spring to come at me in full force.

Because this is the nicest day we have had in 6 months our whole neighborhood was out and about which gave me the perfect opportunity to get to know our next door neighbors better. They have 3 kids all under the age of 5 and Averie has only hung out with them once. It's mostly my fault because I am terrible at making friends and always feel awkward meeting new people.. Even if they live next door. She played ALL DAY with the kiddos. It was heavenly. Next door mom is pregnant (I know! AND she runs triathlons, is a homemaker and like totally perfect bodied, beautiful woman) and due in about 8 weeks so I think she will be pretty willing to let the kids play together so she can be with the new baby without wanting to kill herself. Yay for possible solace for me this summer!

3 hours of my life and Tah Dah!

I KNEW I had another email address I had used for this blog, but couldn't remember what it was. 3 hours later and it hit me!
Good morning Blogger, the universe says Hello!

Since I have not been on here since 2008 I can see I have a lot to update and such.

-No new kids
-Live in Orem
-Unemployed
-No new tattoos
-We have a dog now.

Seroiously, that is all that has changed since '08. The unemployment thing kind of sucks, but I am getting to know my daughter. Yes, I have been her primary care taker for 4 years but I have worked full time for her entire life. She is a pretty cool person.
