So, I was having a pretty good day today. I got a lot accomplished, had a great time talking with the “geeks” at the Fedora release party (hosted by UTOS), and spent some time with friends at a game night. I even saw a friend from my senior year of high school! Too bad one sour grape had to open his mouth.

It’s funny how sometimes people get along when there is playful teasing (which sometimes becomes too serious)  on some days, but other days it just ends up bad. Tonight was one of those nights. Although I, in my opinion, didn’t do anything to encourage it (although most other times I do), this person snapped at me and told me to “shut up” and at the same time appeared to hurt his sister’s feelings. All because of a game. Sad really.

Later, when I made a comment about child birth and c-sections (which was directed to the other women in the room, he wasn’t even in my sight of vision) he made EXTREMELY rude comments to me. The pregnant women were commenting on how, once you have a c-section, the doctor prefers to do a c-section from then on out. I made the comment that it’s usually the case unless you get “lucky” and have a speedy natural delivery. He tried correcting me. I said that I made the comment based on a friend’s experience. He got huffy and rude and said that I need to go stick my head in the toilet and flush because I’m so hard headed. (WHAT?!?!?!) He also said that all I do is talk to argue (which I would say the same about him) but I “argue” about nothing.  I pointed out that I didn’t start anything tonight and that I’d rather not speak to him. He said something about his mom’s delivery at some point in the “conversation” in which I replied, “I’m sorry, but I wasn’t talking about your mom, I was talking about my friend and yes, a natural childbirth can happen after a c-section.” He told me to “shut up” two more times and then told me to leave. Yes, TO LEAVE! It wasn’t even his apartment or his party!!! What a jerk. I said I was done talking to him, that I was ignoring him, and jumped back into the childbirth conversation with the pregnant women. He, of course, made more comments behind my back to his wife, and I even think he might have said something to Steve too…although I didn’t ask.

Maybe he was having a rough night…but he was rude. Simply rude. I don’t even think he cared…or maybe he didn’t notice…that his comment earlier (ABOUT A GAME) hurt his sister’s feelings. So that’s it….my new pet peeve. Seriously…If someone is done talking to you and tells you so….SHUT UP! Especially when you are out of line.

This is proof that Evie likes her dolly out of the water, but not in the water.

Evie has started showing interest in sleeping in Spencer’s bed. So, we’re letting her. She lays down, pulls the blanket on herself and puts her head on the pillow. I sit in the hallway where she can see me, that way she knows not to get up…plus it gives me time to read a book before I lay down. After she falls asleep, and after Spencer passes out on the couch or our bed, we put him in bed with her…that way they have the “body warmth” and they both stay asleep. Unfortunately, they both tend to wake up throughout the week wanting to cuddle (which isn’t so bad but I like my bed). This way, they can cuddle next to each other. So far, it’s been great! Evie, instead of waking up at 3:00 am, has been waking up at 6:30 or 7:30 am…which, to me, is WONDERFUL! We’ll probably get her her very own big girl bed soon. Here’s a picture I snuck while they were sleeping.

It’s weird not remembering a lot of details from Six Flags. I know we had lots of fun, I know we spent some quality time in the lines, and I remember being really thirsty. Other than that…I’m kind of drawing a blank. So, here’s what I came up with for our Six Flags trip back in 2004 with Jed and Leona.

So, for those of you who live around here and who want to do digital scrapbooking, we’re trying to get at least 10 people to sign up for a digital scrapbooking class in Springville. I love teaching others how to digi scrap and Annette and a few others think this will be a great way to teach others and help Steve out with the finances. If you’re interested at all, please let me know!

So a month or two ago I told Evie she was beautiful and, as if she meant it, she rolled her eyes back as if saying “Whatever Mom.” She was in the bathtub just this month and I asked her to roll her eyes back for me. This is what I got with the camera. I couldn’t stop laughing!

So yesterday and today I felt very proud of Spencer. I’ve been trying to get him interested in learning his colors but he never really cared. I’m not sure if he heard someone say it or not, but yesterday he brought two light sabers to me and told me he had a red one and a blue one. I was shocked and couldn’t stop smiling. Then today during Sacrament meeting, Spencer was drawing quietly on a travel sized magnadoodle or whatever they’re called, and showed it to me. He said “I drew a triangle” and it was a nearly perfect triangle (on of the straight lines were a bit wavy but it had three lines and three corners). Another proud moment. What a great little man I have!
