100 things about me part 4

75. I love candles. Candles around a bathtub, candles at dinner, candles to scent my house, candle light dancing, etc., etc.
76. I love romance, and I am talking about the sweet clean beautiful romance. Like Pride and Prejudice. Those romantic moments that make you melt but don't make you feel dirty for watching them.
77. I love real life romance as well, things like dancing to our own music half way through doing the dishes, or picnicking at the waterfall up Sundance canyon, or stealing loving glances over our children's heads as they chat with us about their day.
78. I hate politics. Really, it fascinates me except that I see things that are so wrong and I can't do anything about it and then I get really fired up so I choose to ignore what is going on instead of being ornery.
79. I hate the news for the same reason.
80. TV bores me and yet I watch it anyway. I used to have a lot of favorite shows but time and raunchiness has changed things. My favorite show is now probably HGTV's Design Star.
81. I love old shows like Perry Mason, Matlock, and Columbo
82. M-I-C, see you next time, K-E-Y, why because we love you, M-O-U-S-E. Ah, the good old days.
83. I think I was born in the wrong era.
84. I am the oldest in my family and the 4th. Complicated story.
85. If I could live anywhere I would live here. Ok, maybe not right here but across the freeway in American Fork, but I love Utah.
86. I love Hello Kitty! Probably has to do with my want as a child that I never got, but nonetheless, Hello Kitty is still cool in my book.
87. I love gum!!! In fact, I have a serious addiction to popping my gum. The other day in church I got the look from my daughter because she could hear me popping my gum from the row in front of me. Oops!
88. I love shoes. If I was to say I had one area that shows my rebelliousness it would be shoes. Just look at my feet sometime at church. Nylons? Nope. Sassy Heals? You bet. I am working on that.
89. When I was a child I loved climbing trees, the big oak trees in my backyard were my favorite.
90. I also used to collect rocks.
91. I mourn for my children's loss of freedom to be children. When I was a child we would spend all day everyday exploring the acres upon acres of fields, hills and streams in my backyard. I wouldn't dare let my children roam like I did.
92. I fry in the sun. Have you heard the term red as a lobster? Yep, that's me. 1 beach, 10 hours, limited sunscreen...got the picture yet?
93. I didn't have a real job until after I got married. The only thing I did to make money was to babysit which was few and far between the older I got.
94. I didn't dye my hair for the first time until 2002. I thought Mark would die and instead he LOVED it!
95. My hair is currently au natural. People ask me all the time if I have died my hair but nope, it just does it's own thing.
96. I only wear mascara most of the time. Ok, and a little lip gloss.
97. I love fake nails!!!
98. I am considered the rebel in my family.
99. I love my husband, I love him, I love him, I love him.
100. Fiber 1 bars give me gas. :o(

Broccoli Salad

My children have this thing for broccoli salad and they beg me to make it weekly. Every time I make it I become mom of the week around here which I happen to like! One would think that it might be odd for kids to love broccoli salad, and I am not necessarily thinking it is normal, but I do know it is pretty tasty. I decided for today's post to share my recipe. Beware, I am all about easy so don't expect something elaborate, and I cook for a crowd so if you want to make this adjust to your size of family. 1/2 package of broccoli florets from Costco (chopped) 1/2 red cabbage (shredded) 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of Craisins 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of real bacon bits 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of unsalted sunflower seeds 1/2 a bottle of Kraft Creamy Poppyseed Dressing Mix Seriously, if my kids scarf this salad down I promise most kids will.

Questions Answered, Questions Created

Today was Mark's appointment with the pulmonologist at the Huntsman Cancer Institute. I wish I could say that we came away with answers, good or bad, but instead Mark and I just feel confused. We got to the appointment about 15 minutes early which gave us plenty of time to fill out the piles of paperwork. As we were filling out the paperwork we noticed a sign that was posted with the names of each of the doctors and whether each of them were on time or not. According to the sign our doctor was right on time so after finishing the paperwork we sat back expecting that we would get in within a few minutes. Well, a few minutes turned into a half hour, which turned into an hour plus. Finally they called us back to our room and the nurse assured us that the doctor was just writing up a couple prescriptions for the previous patient and then he would be right in. Of course right in meant another 20 minutes or so. The doctor finally came in and proceeded to ask us questions about Ma...

Mmmm, Chocolate!

I have said before that I love photography. My other love is children and my favorite thing to photograph is children. I love capturing their innocent moments. My kids have gotten pretty good at ignoring the camera although Rachael taught Jillian how to say cheese (when the camera was pointed at her) when she was still a baby. Last night I made homemade brownies. They were so good and so easy to make. Of course the kids got to lick the mixing spoons. Since I have so many kids they have to take turn on who gets to lick the spoons though. This time it was the older kids turn. Jillian, being the baby and totally spoiled, still got a utensil to lick. She was so adorable with the spatula that I had to grab the camera.
