Toes and Warts

I know most of you will say you can't see anything, but I have had this tiny little wart on my pinky finger for over a year now, and all of a sudden it started to bother me. I tried the Over The Counter garbage and nothing happened, so at work today, I had my doc burn it off. She was like, it might hurt a little, and I was like yeah okay. So I went about my day and as I got home and sat on the couch my pinky starts to THROB in incredible pain! Who knew such a tiny little thing could cause so much hurt.

In other news....this is how my right foot has looked since my senior year in high school, pretty cute, huh?? I sure thought so....

2 toe rings, very classy, I know. Well this is how my foot looks now...

I had to take one off because it was causing my foot too much pain??!!! Is that a sign that I'm getting old? What the?? Seriously?? I've worn that ring for what seemed to me like eons and then all of a sudden it started jabbing into my toes and hurt to walk? What is this world coming  to? Seriously? Does this mean that I'm getting too old for toe rings?

What's your opinion??

ZEBRA!!!

  okay so maybe it's not a real one, but this has to be the most fantastic addition to my living room since Jeff and I got married. I saw this bench in an add at Stein Mart months ago, but it was MUCH too expensive for this girls taste. So my mom and I were out doing a little window shopping when low and behold, it was still at Stein Mart, and it was 50% off....so as I  was pondering the affects that might have on my budget, the sales lady approached me and said that if I came back on Saturday, it would be 60% off...what a flippin steal?!!!! So I called up my hubby who WILLINGLY said OK....so bright and early Saturday morning, this little ditty became MINE!!! I am so proud!  This was just one of those deals I couldn't bear to pass up!!! Thanks babe for always allowing me to have the thing I want. He is the best hubby in the world!

So onto other news...I have just been having a little bit of a rough patch. Life is just being life and I have been feeling a little Debbie Downer about everything. Well last week, I got home after an amazingly terrible day, and this little guy was the sweetest doggie you could ever find! He was excited to see me and he licked my cheek and sat lovingly by my side and didn't make a peep until I asked him to....he is truly Wo-man's best friend!!! I love my Chowder!!! 

 

LIfe is just hard sometimes, I have decided, and I just need to adjust to things not always going my way! I think I just need a break, and next week I will get one!! Here I come Thanksgiving!!!

I believe

I don't think that in the entire year I have had this blog I have ever made mention to the fact that I am LDS. I don't really like to get too political or religious but today I felt the need to express some feelings I have had in my heart today.

After watching a video of a riot that broke out in LA regarding Prop 8...I just have to say that I am so grateful for my faith and testimony of Jesus Christ. It makes these scary times in which we live, just a little bit easier to bear. I am proud to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Halloween...

I know this is way late, but we had the annual Johnson family pumpkin carving contest and here are mine and Jeff's entries....I thought of his idea...so I will take partial credit for it...

Here is Jeff ready to get his pumpkin on...isn't he adorable folks?
 

Can you guess which one was Jeff"s?? (if you know him at all...it will be really easy)

Can you tell my husband loves to take pictures?

The final pumpkins...I hope you all can read the one on the far right!!!!!!! Can you tell our feelings on the election?

 

After the festivities were over, Kate decided she wanted to wear her uncle's shoes....she is too cute for words sometimes....and that was pretty much it for us...

Election 2008

Does anyone else feel like America drew the short straw?

Who wants to move with me to Australia?

New Post!!! Finally!

So I decided that it was finally time for a new post!! Last week I did a little Boutique shopping and here are some of my treasures that I found. 

I found this cute little guy at the Orange Patch Boutique for $15.00 on sale!! WOO HOO! I fell in LOVE with this cute little guy the moment we laid eyes on each other. Cute, right?? Happy Halloween!

This little number is what I purchased at the Tattered Ladies Boutique. Bev made this and I bought it before the Boutique started because I knew it had my name written all over it!! It is a chalkboard as well. I couldn't resist!! SO cute!!! I bought a bunch of baby stuff bought I already gave it away as a baby shower gift, but it was some cute stuff too!!!

I went to my BFF's baby shower, Michala (Maughan) Farnes. She is having a little girl in February and it was so fun to see her. She lives in Utah and I hardly ever get to see her! I also saw some old friends I haven't seen in a really long time and it was so fun to catch up and remember the old days. We girls always had so much fun together!!! Love you guys!! I forgot my camera, of course, so no fun pics!!! Dang it!

Conference weekend my amazing mother-in-law taught me how to can peaches!! And here are the "fruits" of my labors... I was so darn impressed with myself! It was a lot easier than I imagined it would be. It was also a lot of fun! Thanks mom for teaching me!!! I ended up with about 17 jars! Food storage, here I come!!!

And last but not least...

If you can see, my front bumper has been smashed into the tire well of the passenger side! Yes, that's right! I was in a little fender bender in the Fry's, Kohl's parking lot. This lady named Lisa, wasn't paying attention and turned right into me. Yup...so that's fun. Everyone is okay....I'm just hoping that her insurance pays for the damage!! Neat....

So that is what has been going on here lately...
