Christmas Time!

What are everyone's plans for Christmas? Mel and I are planning to attend the Boyer Christmas in Utah. We have purchased our plane tickets for it. Mom, how are you going to get there?

Gift exchange? Who wants to draw names?

How is everyone doing? I am in the throws of finals and I will be glad to have a break from school for a few months this winter. We are having a baptism service tomorrow for an individual who the Missionaries have taught over the last little while.

I am interested in all of your thoughts on this question: is art man-made OR a naturally-occurring phenomenon? You can interpret the question as you wish. I expect an answer from each of you.

What are you're thoughts on the upcoming movie? I'm not even sure if Bill Murray is going to be in it. It's supposed to be about the original ghostbusters passing on the torch to a new generation.

I'm feeling a little bit like Pharoah

So we've had some weird stuff lately going on with our house. First, I saw this hanging in my bathroom window a few weeks ago:

(It was gone by nighttime)

And yesterday, I had this crawling in the cracks of my front door and big living room window:

Has our family been cursed? Is there some reason I have these plagues attacking our home? Are my children enslaved by my strict rules about Nintendo? Have I given them too many chores? Am I like Pharoah? Should I let my children go free? I'm looking for an explanation in the hopes that these frightening episodes will leave me alone...

they call me mrs. adams

I don't know why I think I can just touch up my roots myself. 90% of the time when I buy my own hair color it turns into a disaster. When will I learn?? The words witch, goth, vampira, morticia, etc. come to mind when I look at myself. I have hidden my identity out of shear embarrassment. I went from blond with about 1/2 inch of medium brown roots, to blue black. After 5 washes (3 with baking soda) it is now black w/a hint of red. I cant believe how off the color was. I wanted a brown...I got suckered into the Chris Rock movie 'Hair' thinking, why am I always fighting to be blond? Then I saw a lot of pretty brunettes on Sunday. So I went and bought some medium (so I thought) brown to dissipate some of the blond and hide my growing roots. But the outcome of my good intentions was not as expected...of course...blackness. And I do not see the light. (literally)
My only hope is to continue to wash, and wash and wash and will one day see some semblance of brown again. I can hope. But for now, I am just glad that it is Halloween next week. I will fit right in...to the night. (I included this picture to demonstrate how my hair fades into the background, is it hair anymore? or has it become its own entity)
