Before I do the tag-I have another internet favorite...Craigslist. So fun. It's like an online garage sale. Just like a regular garage sale, some things are overpriced...some things are great deals...and you have to do some searching to find what you want. But when you find a treasure...woohoo! And it's soooo easy to list on there. And it's free. Last Thurs night I listed Jaxson's Bumbo seat for $20, since we never use it anymore. Friday morning, it sold. I'm now looking EVERYWHERE for stuff to sale. Craigslist rocks!
And now-the tag. My friend, Marci (Well, actually she's my sisters friend. But I've met her a few times, and she's awesome and so nice. So, she's gonna be my friend, too), tagged me to do the "8 things" tag. And I'm always up for a tag, so here goes!

Good grief....
So, now what's my excuse? I wish I could say I was unbelievably busy. That would sound better than "I've been neglecting laundry, housework, and exercise to waste time on the computer." So, if I've been on the computer, why haven't I been blogging about my fabulously exciting life? Because, I have a new addiction.
It is so fun to reconnect with old friends. And, it's like the ultimate digital pet type toy. You can send newly planted seeds to your friends, and they will grow after a few days. You can send Christmas gifts to your friends, and the ones sent to you go under your tree. You can send smiles. You can have a pet. There are games to play. You can join groups, like "I'm a fan of President Hinkley". (There is really a fan club for Him...so cool.) And now, I've discovered you can kidnap your friends. That's a fun game to play. In order to escape, they have to answer a question about the city where you have hidden them. Seriously, I have spent WAY too much time on it.
Also, I've been reading this blog. I'm a little addicted to it, too. It says on the sidebar that it's fiction. But even though it says that, it's so easy to get sucked into the writing. It's like a blog soap opera. And another way I've been wasting time.
I'm blaming it all on the weather. The change in weather has made it really hard to get motivated to do anything but snuggle under a blanket and put off everything else. Anyway, I'm vowing to do better. I do have alot to blog about.
I had my 36th birthday on Monday. I've never really had a problem with getting older before. This birthday was hard. I really don't know why. I think I just really like the 30's, and am enjoying my kids, and don't really want it to change, ya know?
I told Cory that all I wanted for my birthday was for him to get the kids up and take them to school so I could sleep in. He totally did it. He called in to work and told them He'd be in late, and then took care of it all. When I tried to help Gabby with her hair, she became offended and said, "I already did it!! Dad said you were supposed to sleep in, so I did it myself." It was so hard to let her go to school with her hair looking like it was done by a 7 year old. But I did. It was a good day...up until I forgot to pick my kids up from school. Yep. I really did. They had an early release day that I totally forgot. They got out at 1:40. At 2:00, the school called. I thought,"I hope nobody got hurt, or is sick. Here is the conversation:
Secretary- Mrs. Blad?
Me- This is she.
Sec- I've got Alex and Gabby here in the office.
Me- (That's wierd..I wonder why they are both there. What did they do?) Okay?
Sec- They are waiting for a ride home.
Me- (...???...) Oh crap! I totally forgot it was early release today! I'll be right there!
And for the rest of the day, felt like loser Mom.
We went out to eat at Bajio, and Cory's sister and family came with us. It was yummmmm. Afterwards, Cory took me to Deseret Book and bought me this...
And part of this...
And then we went home and ate this...
Chocolate Tuxedo Mousse Cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory. Actually, we got it at Sam's Club. It was soooooo yummy!
And I guess 36 isn't so bad.
