I do not pretend to be educated about politics. I do not pretend to even be interested in politics. But I do feel the awesome spirit of today. We as Americans have achieved a milestone.
Let us continue on with this progress.

Tag--I'm it. Sevens.
My cute SIL tagged me with this questionaire. I thought I should be a good sport and do it, but my answers are definately not smart or interesting. Hers are.
Here I go:
7 THINGS I DO WELL:
Waste time on computer
Eat (not that I make good choices, I can just put away a lot of food.)
Bake--NOT cook, but I can make a mean batch of brownies. Okay maybe I should just say MAKE BROWNIES--I can't think of anything else I can bake either.
Give a compliment.
Read books to Kids.
My Job--most/some of the time. Under all the right conditions ie: enough sleep, enough food, right shoes, good pen, right patient, and the list goes on and on...but if all these things line up I am a DARN good RN.
Nagging. This may not be a good quality to have, but it has been the reason much has been accomplished in my life, either with my parents, kids, and husband--as well as others. I think some of you reading this have experienced my nagging. (do you want to go workout??)
7 THINGS I CAN'T DO:
Say a sincere Thank-you. Most of the time its just awkward and I sound flippant. It is not usually what is in my heart.
Diet. This is why I really truly love to workout--I would much rather take a few more laps, then to not be able to eat my delicious brownies.
Stick a child. I was the IV queen when working with adults--seriously other units would call me to come do a "hard stick", but now--no way--I haven't even tried!!
Get mad at Alec. I don't know why I reserve this just for him, but I do. I seem to be able to produce monumental anger with everyone and anyone else. (I don't usually get mad at my little bro either--even when others are ready to throw him under a truck.)
Yoga. BORING!!!
Stop watching TV. I have tried many times to go "without". My withdrawls are too intense for me and anyone that has to live with me.
Have a conversation with my Mom without talking about my kids and my Dad. Too bad for her!
7 THINGS I ALWAYS SAY:
Do your homework, pleaaaassee!!!
Whats for dinner.
Seriously, are you going to throw a tantrum over this? (Remember, I have a 2 and 14 yr. old.)
That's fine. (Not usually what I really mean.)
I need to go to the gym tonight, teamed with: Do you want to go workout tonight?
My turn for the computer.
Do you need to go potty? (I actually say this to everyone--not just my 2yr. old)
7 THINGS I LOVE TO EAT:
Spaghetti--my FIL's is the best!!
Brownies
Vanilla ice-cream with chocolate sauce
Mango Chicken salad
Fruit--any kind, in season.
Rolls, especially my Mom's.
Chocolate cake--"if it isn't chocolate, it isn't cake".
7 THINGS THAT ATTRACTED ME TO MY HUSBAND:
He had a car. (We were both at SUU and he was the only one I knew who could get me to the grocery store--remember, I am good at eating.)
He cooks.
He loved to go study in the mountains. (Again when we were at school--We would hike to a quiet spot and study for hours)
He got along good with my brothers.
He is so nice to animals--even when they are not ours.
He can talk to anyone.
He loves to make the people that he loves happy...no matter what.
TAG 7 OTHERS:
I don't really have seven other people that read this blog (she tagged some of my family already).
LUCKY YOU!

Winter's Must Haves
Mmmm....hot chocolate. No matter how cold, or how much snow falls, this keeps the Turner Family warm.
Playdough can keep Will busy for hours (great for when it is too cold/wet to go outside). Too bad I have to play with him the whole time. I get bored with my playdough abilities. I have really only been able to master: a snowman (with a hat even), a snake--but that is easy, and a turtle--really just a clump of dough, but Will says it is a turtle (that or dog poop--I rather go with the turtle.)
Send the kiddos as often as possible--how much trouble can they get into with entertainment like that.
This ice scraper is actually sold as a kitchen item (something for candy makers--I'm sure I don't know). It is awesome though, it works great on my car. Too bad I don't just have a garage. This is the inexpensive form of a garage.
We don't actually have one of these and it still snows. Oh well I enjoy the shoveling. (Most of the time anyways....but don't tell my family or they will make me do it all the time.)
We were introduced to this game by my bro and sis-in-law. It is awesome and I guarantee it will keep you and yours entertained for hours. The only thing is you need someone to play with. Ry and I don't get to play too often because our kids are too busy/cool to hang with us. Anyone else game??
