FREE TABLE!

Cam and I were on our way back from lunch at Pei Wei

and we saw a sign for a garage sale...

seeing as it is monday, i fel like the sale might be over.

but i just knew that there would be a sale, b/c

it is soooo nice outside (63*).

we got there, and it was over... bummer right?

but not, b/c there was a slew of stuff with a FREE sign on it!

and we found this awesome table.

we couldnt take much b/c we were in the honda..

but this was enough!

the legs were off when we got it,

and totally didnt think about it on the way home,

but there were no wingnuts with it.

ace (support smaller places people) only had 3 that would fit,

so i got a regular nut for the 4th leg :)

perfect sewing table!

a list

here is a list of things:

1. i just found out just now i. love. jasmine. tea.
sedating and relaxing qualities in it....
2. steepandcheap.com & chainlove.com
they will be addictions, and it's bad.
just check them out.
3. evangeline = good news in Greek
don't be a-stealing it people.
i am saving that name.
4. blog stalking people can lead to some old friends
(shout out to jake and christy)
-was blog stalking them from Lo's blog, and realized i knew Jake!
5. i made cam a homemade hot pocket! hopefully it will freeze and he can heat it up tomorrow, but i lost the real hot pocket heater upper thingys, and so i dont know what he's gonna do.
6. homemade pizza is now my specialty.
7. i almost bit it while riding my bike to yoga today (bike & snow = not always the best combo)
8. i have been to yoga for 3 times in a row, and my goal is to go every tues and thursday
that i my work schedule can allow... i really like this teacher and her name is lauren.
i think she thinks i am a student (going to DU for classes, b/c i get a crazy cheap disocunt since
cam is a student there), but oh well. and some guy's shoulder popped out of socket in class
today and i did NOT say anything about being a nurse. A: i was in crow position for 12 seconds
B: he wasnt gonna die.
9. addicted to Lost. i re-watched seasons 1&2, and am starting 3&4 and can hopefully watch
them all before the 21st, doubtful, but i will try.
10. i don't want to go to work tomorrow, but i am ready for it, after 5 days off.
11. i made some baby presents today!
12. i highly reccommend: The Walmart Effect, and I am sending it to my mother in law!
13. okay, must eat pizza and watch Lost and wait for cam to get home.

Finally!

taken from the front door
schnooze eating a bone after her bath :)

taken from the kitchen, looking into backyard

new organizer thingy!

i copied Odette...

i put gift bags, paper, and tissue in it!

this was the best use of a target gift card EVER!

my closet is like miniature... well

just really long and narrow, with no light source...

so i moved 3/4 of the clothes from the cloest into the

basement into THIS!

seriously, i had forgotten about a lot of my clothes,

b/c I couldn't see them.

I seriously have to use a flashlight to see my clothes in the closet... no lie.

woo hoo!

another giftcard purchase... the lazy susan white thing.

from michaels.. thanks cannons!

love it!

also from michaels giftcard... the white hanging shelf!

love it!

today is a day to myself.

i am just lounging!

catching up on emails, blogs, pictures, laundry.

i will probably do some crafts later :)

_
on a side note: i have been so bad about the blog b/c our main computer crashed, and it hasnt really been working all of dec/jan... so we finally decided to use loan money and get a new one. Since cam has to take his to class, we rarely have a computer at home. He was nice to leave it for me today though! Other wise i was going to trek to the library :). Anyways, this new computer has "face recognition" instead of a password i am pretty sre it just uses the camera to look at my face! cool huh???

okay peeps... have a great snowy day!

Cannons, Christmas, New Years Eve, and more!

This is a very long post, condensed into one!

December 20-23 the Cannons came:

Daivd, Lea Ann, Blake, and Alec!

When they got here, we ate at BeauJos Pizza (so good)

then came home and opened presents!!!!

blake
alec

that night we went to Chipotle for a late night snack.

This chipotle (2 blocks from our house) is the very first Chipotle ever!

The "Evans" chipotle.

The manager gave us a tour and free t-shirts!

alec got cameron this remote controlled helicoptor,

and he hasn't stopped playing with it yet :)

good job alec!

The next day we went to church, Mona's for lunch, the REI flagship, and a movie.

-

the next day alec, blake, and david went to Loveland to ski, and Lea Ann, Cam, and I met up with them and picked alec up, went to eat, and walk around georgetown, see snow, and drive up Kenosha Pass... it was beautiful.

-

we kept seeing these frozen waterfalls, and Lea Ann, bless her heart, wanted to get out of the car and see them, but this is what happened:

she was okay, and laughing :)

but her lovely d-in-law had to snap this pic...

once the boys got her up there!

we had gone to this hoomemade candy store in georgetown, and got horeberry (sp?) candy, ppl used to use it as medicine, but for some reason we wanted to try it. i thought it taksted like poo.

but the man that was helping me at the store was so cute, funny, and old. they also made their own ice cream. So i said to him "i have to know one thing, do you make all this ice cream yourself?" and he said he did, besides the sugar free one. i cant describe how funny he was but he just was. and he even made fun of me for eating and liking braums ice cream :)

alec's frozen non-gloved hands.

these people from TX, what are they thinking?

alec and cam sledding

alec pushing lea ann down the mountain!

after they left, we went to a movie, then opened our presents :)

the 24th we hung out at home,

then went to church, all dressed up!
