A Few of My Favorite Things

Alright, I jumped on the bandwagon. I'm officially accepting the 365 challenge. For those of you who are scrapbooking challenged - and that would be me - the 365 challenge encourages you to take 1 picture each day (that's probably where they got that inventive name)...then each week you create a double-page scrapbooking layout. I am cheating and putting weeks 1 & 2 together in the spread this Sunday...so there is no layout picture to upload...but here are the pictures I took to fudge for the first 9 days - just a few of my FAVORITE things! But no orange...THIS time! Just you wait! This is a piece of old wood from my aunts ranch I worked for in Canada. One of my good friends up there carved it with a barrel rider and my favorite word - Remember!
This is a new favorite game - just played it the other day with some of my other favorites: Jessica, Jessica and Amanda! :D
Not sure if this qualifies as one of my favorite things - creepy eyes from an abnormally large stuffed pluto dog...hmm...they could grow on me.

Okay, I know I'm totally immature but when I saw this dude I thought 'That is one giant poo!' I still have my two Pooh bears from when I was a baby in storage - he really was one of my favorite things! That's why I had two - I wore the first one to rags!

Oh baby! Hold me back! I'm gonna lick my screen! First found these puppies in PA when I was on my mission. I LOVE them! Sister Moyeda and I used to buy them every week...we'd gladly sacrifice veggies for these!
This little guy was given to me by my Grandpa Cox. He made a little mirror stand for him to sit on.
This is a flower - if you couldn't tell. Alive is preferable on the favorites list, but under 2 ft of snow and constantly freezing Utah temperatures, not happening. Maybe in the summer...day 195 or so.
Okay, terrible picture, but still a favorite. I love PA - what more can I say!?

I have wanted this shirt since I was like 12! I finally made it at work on the YuDu silk screen printing machine. DEFINITELY at the top of the favorite list!

Christmas in November

A lot of friends have been talking about how much they hate Christmas creeping into (or completely taking over) November. So I started thinking about the issue - because apparently it's a big one and obviously something I should be thinking about, right? I think Thanksgiving suffers from severe middle-child syndrome. Halloween comes first and is a little bit crazy but well recognized, highly celebrated and ridiculously loved. Then there's Christmas, the ever impatient youngest child who can't wait their turn...ever. Plus Christmas is the 'favorite' child - it's loved, celebrated, commercialized, overpriced and way over represented. And Thanksgiving just sits back and gets run over by these two crazy holidays on either side of it. It never complains when people forget it or when international businesses schedule important meetings that day (ugh...speaking from experience on that). Thanksgiving doesn't mind giving the lime light to the other two. Why? Becaus...

Battle of The Bands

On my right is my boss - blasting classical Christmas music. On my left is my co-worker - blasting oldies in an effort to drown out the classical Christmas music. Then there's me - plugged into Pandora, listening to Adele "Someone Like You". And not only is the music blasting - but randomly, my co-worker starts singing along to her oldies station so my boss starts humming Christmas tunes really loudly. I sorta feel obligated to unplug my iPod and start singing out loud too. Too bad our other co-worker isn't here to blast and sing along to her Spanish tunes. That would be the icing on the cake.

I did all this for posterity...

Alright, here's the first half of the 500 word personal history that I wrote while racing James in finishing his Duty To God assignment. I think it's amusing at least! For the second half, you'll have to go to the CreativeXpress community and look under blogs. "I was born on April 17, 1985. I am the oldest child of Karen Denning and Lonnie Dale Cox. I honestly don’t remember too much of my childhood, I suspect I have some repressed memories. I have been told, however, that I was a rather intense child. I liked to be in the middle of everything and if there wasn’t something going on I created a fiasco to entertain myself. I never did like to be alone or play by myself – that hasn’t changed much over the years. I remember spending time at the Tessems house during the day. I always felt like a part of their family and learned many important things during the years they babysat me. I remember playing GI Joes with Scott and Troy – I was the caregiver to all the infants in t...
