A little bit OCD

For Xmas Willow got this awesome jewelry making set. I say awesome because i make jewelry, so now she has her own so she won't bug me all the time. Anyhooter...the other day Willow was at school and Elwyn decided she wanted to make some jewelry (I don't know how she got the bead case out since it was in a location that was unreachable to her. Actually i take that back...she gets into things that i don't even know exist, so this was nothing). I kindly told Elwyn that we weren't going to play with Willow's beads and she said okay and turned to return the bead case to it's rightful location when she dropped the entire case and it went flying open and beads were strewn about the place. I was not happy. Elwyn was all about helping to clean them up, but since i am OCD everything needs to be in its exact location and nothing can be mixed. This did not matter to her. So the whole time i am trying to fight a nervous breakdown, she is throwing beads and yelling "Mom, clebe (clean) up." I knew i needed to get them cleaned up soon because Willow was due to be home any minute and she is almost more OCD than i am!!! I am happy to say i got them organized and back into their designated places before Willow came home. I even did it without sending Elwyn to time out...shocking, i know!!!


She sure is proud of herself

After I had cleaned up half of them already. I should have gotten a pic when they were all out

The Twilight Series (DISCLAIMER: don't read if you want to read the twilight books and be surprised)

Have I really not blogged since December??? Must have been a traumatic month for me:) So anywho...i just finished reading the Twilight series...(cut me some slack, i didn't even hear about them until i moved to Utah). So anyway, Rich bought me the first 2 books back in December for my birthday...which i finished reading in a matter of 10 days. Well i knew i was getting the last 2 books for Xmas, so since i still had another 2 weeks to wait i started reading the first 2 books again. (nerd). So now that xmas has come and gone i have read the last 2 books. Can i just say i liked the third one, but not so much the forth one. How weird was that book!!! I mean you read all the way to the end thinking at least one person is going to die...and boom, no one dies. LAME!!! (hope i didn't ruin it for anyone). I really did like the series of books though, i read them so fast that my husband was not happy about all the reading i was doing. It's his own fault, he bought them for me!!! i can't wait to go and see the movie. i'm sure i won't officially 'go' and see it though, i will just watch it on DVD when it comes out.
