Yowser. New year = new blog post. Looks like we took a brief respite from all our posting - I can't really say that it was because we were so busy doing incredibly awesome things that we didn't have time to post . . . but yet we were busy relaxing. And relaxing takes hard work. And effort.As part of my relaxing I read a couple of books. One book was pure legal fiction candy (minimal to zero thought process was involved) but one book was fantabulous. I am probably really late getting on the band wagon but I read "The Time Traveler's Wife" and loved it (I have not seen the movie). In fact I loved it so much that I decided that while driving from St. George to my Grandma's 90th birthday party in Mt. Pleasant - I had to risk getting car sick and finish the book. Well let me rephrase, while Ross was driving from St. George to my Grandma's 90th birthday party - I had to finish the book. Towards the end, as I was sitting there (relaxing in the passenger seat) all of the sudden I just started crying when __________ happened. (I don't want to spoil it). What started off as big crocodile tears turned into almost sobbing. My goodness. Embarrassing - especially when you don't happen to have any tissues in the car. So I showed up to the 90th b-day bash looking a little worse for wear - it doesn't matter I loved that book.
Coming up - new year's resolutions - here's a hint - no matter how empty your refrigerator is on Monday NEVER stop at Costco for lunch and eat a hot dog. Just don't do it.

That sobbing came out of nowhere - it made me pretty worried until I realized it was the book. Phew. Also, I happened to really enjoy the Costco polish for lunch. Best $1.50 lunch available. I can still taste it . . . literally.
Well at $1.50 that lunch barely fits into the budget.
Kitty, you probably gave everyone at the party the impression that Ross is so mean that he makes you cry. It's just like those Lifetime movies staring Meredith Baxter Birney where she was married to a mean husband, and we all know how that movie ends!! Ross better check the break lines in the car before he gets behind the wheel again.
Oh brother Senor Toddcat - you are ridiculous. I didn't show up with a black eye - just red-rimmed eyes and let's face it - Ross and I both want to change our facebook relationship status to "It's complicated" because it's funny.
Are you saying your relationship is like Denise Richard's colon?
Now I have to read the book! I don't know, the movie was pretty hard to handle, but I might just risk it. It was so much fun seeing you at the party and no you did not look like an abused wife. :) We really need to have you guys over sometime. I think of you two as two starving college students when in reality you are two starving college professors! Ha, Ha,... Really, a hot dog from Costco, yuck!
I loved that book so much! The movie is okay, but it didn't measure up to the book.
Hey, I missed your Christmas card this year. Can I beg to get back on your list for next year?
The Time Traveller's Wife was the best book I'd read during the year I read it... and this is how I go when I go like this.
I love easy reads. It takes a damn good book for me to get carsick for. I do it every once in a while and then just plan on sleeping it off.
Thanks for the recommendation. I just read The Hunger Games and Cathing Fire and I loved them. Now I'm reading the Magical Kingdom of Landover series, and I'm sorry but it's no Harry Potter.
I can't help it--I love hotdogs. I may or may not have had three at a airport in Mexico. That's how deep my love runs.
Krissi, I loved the movie and so did your Dad. At least I could follow the movie, had a hard time following the book. I am just finishing up THE SHACK. It is not that great of a book, however it has been on the Best Reader's Choice list. Not for me! Read the article in the Deseret News about THE SHACK by Doug Robinson. It's pretty funny. Monday's paper.
