tehmi.com

You guys- I tried to excel in my geek level today by purchasing www.tehmi.com. Because well there are a few benefits of a name as unique as mine, like having an email address that is my first name only and website that is just your name. We all know last names can go either way, but you usually don't show up at the social security office looking to change your first name. I already have my email address and was looking to complete the package so I googled tehmi.com and guess where it goes?!

To the Wireless Bedwetting Alarm Solution website. How did they know that my bladder is extremely small! Luckily for Kevin I can usually make it through the night.

More reasons to love an iPhone

Mom, get the APP "Brushes" and paint me some stuff!!

Happy Birthday to ME!

A week ago it was my birthday, I am requiring a do-over because I worked 21 hours. I have yet to schedule that do-over because I can't share with Hunter, whose birthday is tomorrow. Trevor had gotten me some new shoes and flowers, which I love. But we have been waiting for a couple weeks now for my new favortie toy ever. It came yesterday and I am so excited to take it out! I'm a little jealous that Trev and Stella already tested it out, in fact they already got it muddy. Now I can ride my bicycle everywhere! SO EXCITED!!!! It is actually in my garage right now! YAY! I gotta get out of this office ASAP so I can go play!
Thanks Trev for a GREAT birthday present! I have been dying to get one since Stella was born!

Disappearance

My apologies for the disappearance on the blog front. Last week I worked 87 hours. To say the least I am tired. I just want to thank my dear husband for taking Stella every which way and a big thanks for all of you who watched her while I was at work and Trevor was finishing up finals. I can't wait to explain the horror of the past week, but let me tell you it involves the following: TV Boxes, a cage made from bookshelves and office furniture for Stella, Diet Coke, 843 miles on the Subuaru, customers physically pushing, mobbed by people at an apartment complex, and alot of Britney Spears.
On a much happier note, that lovely husband of mine is done with the last semester and finished up strong. He starts tomorrow with May term, less than 50 hours left in his college career! 50 HOURS LEFT. I love that I can count down in hours. If he was on my schedule he could have that done by Wednesday. Good luck baby, you can do it!

Elmo the monster

This is just for Stella; I can't not tell you how much she loves this. She was at my mom's today and Sesame Street was on. Stella fell inlove with Monsterpiece Theater, A Street Car Named Desire. She thought that Grover was speaking directly to Stella when he was screaming "STELLLA". I had to go home and YouTube it immediatly. Since then we've been sitting at the kitchen table, I've been working and she's watching Sesame Street on YouTube. She is mesmerized. Can YouTube just babysit for me?

Reunited

At Micalls wedding I was taking a photo and my beloved camera just stopped working. Yeah, just turned off with the lens exposed and everything. It was definitely tragic. I sent it back to Canon and they just kept it for a long time, just staring at it, mocking me. Finally after returning the camera with a ridiculous estimate, I took it to Forster's here in Salt Lake. A week later and some pocket change IT'S BACK and functioning perfectly!
I am so delighted to return the terrific point and shoot that has been on loan from my Dad. I'm not sure how I would have made it through the last 4 months without any sort of camera. Thanks Dad!
Get ready for an enormous amount of photos to flood this blog!

Rollin' On

Today I was at my office in Provo and was hard at work. Or at least trying to get things done. I turned my iPod to shuffle for search of some good music. When I came across this little number and I forgotten how much I love the song, the artists, and the album. Take a listen maybe Mark and Emmy Lou will help you be productive throughout the day.

Submerge in Water

We are in St. George this weekend for a Bike Race and the boys went out for a little warm up. This is what they found:

A Gila Monster that was near 2 feet long.

Hunter did some research on this thing and apparently it is the most poisonous lizard in the world. It appears to be sluggish and dopey but is actually very quick, so don't poke it with a stick. When they bite you they don't have the jaw power to destroy you but when they chew on your arm they release the poison into you. Unfortunately, when they bite they do not let go; only when you submerge in water. Good to know the next time I take a bicycle ride in St. George.

twenty five things

Facebook has been tagging me left and right for a survey of twenty five things about me. I have be promptly ignoring this tag because I just didn't want to do it. Since I received a tag from my sister I thought I would do it. But one more glitch, I am currently hating facebook since recent upgrades (Anyone else with me on that?) so I thought I would post my twenty five things here.
In no particular order here they are:
1. I don't like chocolate chips in breads or really even in cookies. Especially in pumpkin bread or cookies.
2. I like to garden. This year I am moving out of pots into a real garden, I'm excited to grow my own ingredients.
3. I am addicted to Diet Coke. I blame my mother.
4. I could bake bread all day long.
5. I like road trips.
6. I love interesting, flavorful foods.
7. I wish I saw more movies, I really like them
8. I am trying to spend less time on the Internet, its not working so well
9. I love my birthday, and if it doesn't go as planned I call for a do-over
10. I have a really, really small and weak bladder. Its very inconvenient.
11. I usually can see through peoples bull crap, including Trevor's
12. I have had a framed picture of Trevor on my dresser since sophomore year of high school
13. I am high maintenance, but can maintain myself.
14. I believe swimming pools are meant for floating around with grapes and Diet Coke and not swimming
15. I don't really love meat. I ate the more meat in the last 3 months of pregnancy than I have eaten in whole life.
16. I am emotional.
17. I have a bunion.
18. I am scared to have more children, but want more
19. I love green peppers but HATE, HATE red peppers.
20. I don't eat breakfast during breakfast hours, usually I will eat it at night.
21. I don't like to get out of bed, 20 more minutes is always needed
22. I love Fleetwood Mac
23. I like TV, almost to much
24. I have a hard time focusing
25. I like to talk on the phone when I'm driving home from work, but not on the way to work.

Liquid Gold

Trevor wants to know why so many?


Because you can NEVER have to many bottles of Mexican Vanilla, and No I will not share Mother. In fact if anyone is going south of the border any time soon I would love a few more bottles of this Liquid Gold!!!

Whoa.

Wow. It has been a busy week. I was reprimanded from my dad that I do not blog enough. In fact I believe the exact words were " You are a bad blogger." Hmm. May I direct your attention to your other children? Thank you, you can apologize later :).
We have had a dramatic week here at the Marsh household. Our niece Madden was in the hospital with RSV and I did not like it. Being in the hospital, a children's hospital none the less was the saddest sickest thing I've ever watched. I came home and slept with Stella in the rocking chair and was so very grateful for her health and happiness. Madden came through like a champ and only spent a few nights there. Jordan is being a great Dad. I am getting calls at 7:30am to tell me that Madden puked on the bed. Great Jordan, wash the sheets and give her a bath. I always hang up the phone laughing out loud. He just wants to make sure that he is doing it all right. And aparantly that always needs a second opinion. I'm alright being that second opinion. I know that every day, especially while pregnant, my Mom is that second opinion and it is what got me through the day. If I can be that for someone else, then we are back to square one and I can whine again.
Not only did we have a few days in the hospital, but work has been KICKING MY BUTT. I've left my computer screen black and blue every night. We downsized at our company and I've taken on a few new jobs. Which means I am wearing my reading glasses all the time. I feel like I'm old and blah with my glasses on my nose trying to focus. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do. It feels good to work hard again and be a part of something that has such amazing potential. I really do love it. I mean whats not to love, the commute 3 days a week is less than 20 steps!
Stella has been doing well this past week. Just relaxing living the dream...

I hope next week will be less stressful and I can blog on a more appropriate timeline for my father!

To much kitchen

I have been on a kick the past week or so where I have been cooking like crazy. But I knew it was going to be a bad batch of pies when there were people around questioning me, distracting me, along with Stella screeching at me. I'm not sure where to begin on the kitchen disaster. I mis-measured the coconut milk for the coconut creme pie, the coconut creme pie got broken while chilling in the fridge. I then was cleaning the dishes, (yes mother I was cleaning the massive mess) and well I was pushing the egg shells into the drain as I was turning on the disposal with my hand in the water and got electrocuted. Following the scream that woke the young one it dropped me to the ground as even my toes were burned. Living in an old house sure does have its disadvantages sometimes. Oh that's not enough, I was toasting the coconut for the pie and as I was siting resting with Trevor he asked "Are you cooking something?" I replied completely put off that he would even second guess my pie making abilities (It had been a long day with Stella screeeeeeching at me). I get up to the oven and can't figure out why the back burner is smoking. I know I didn't turn it on. I look in the oven and what do I see? Flames. Flames. Flames.

After we put the fire out, I picked up a dishtowel and sliced open my finger on a knife that was hiding underneath it. I think I am going to retire from the kitchen for a little while. We might need to eat some more Mcnuggets until I feel like I can venture back.

If I have to have a roomate...

...I think I would rather it be a girl.
Instead I live with a boy and a baby. And both are testing my patience this week. They just want to touch me, and I DON'T WANT TO BE TOUCHED. Stella has been standing at my feet reaching at me for 2 days now, and she just wants to touch me. Stella dear, I don't like to be touched. I don't like amusement parks because people touch me. I don't like shopping anywhere on Saturdays because people touch me. Sporting events? NOPE. There is a lot of touching going on in stadiums. Concerts where people are shoving into me? Hell NO. Which is why I am shaking my head for why I have a husband and a toddler. Who both can't keep their hands off of me. I haven't shaved my legs all week, I can't feel that good, can I?
As many of you know, the last week of class is among us and finals are just around the corner. That loving roommate of mine has been absent all week. He says he has been coming home to sleep next to me, and I only have a faint memory of him pushing me off the bed because I was sleeping in the middle of it. I was there first, I should be able to sleep where ever I want. I will be oh so grateful for the damned semester to be over with, then I can enjoy the remaining weeks of December with my husband. Although its just a psych out, because just after December is January and then he just goes back to being our roommate 6 days out of the week. Bummer. Maybe I can trade him out for a girl while he's finishing out the semester? At least a girl will help do the dishes and watch Greys on Thursdays. Hey Ash, you wanna move in? I'm sure we could arrange something with those husbands of ours.

Utah County Red Necks

I just got an email from a coworker, this is what it says:

"All be down today all stop by and talk to them and try to get a check."

Um, do you mean "I'LL be down today. I'LL stop by and talk to them and try to get a check."? Sometimes I wonder about other peoples children...
