A quick and dirty account

So this past weekend was full of social engagements. Friday night we went to Riverdale hot springs resort with my friend Tammie and her family. It is north of Preston. She got pulled over in Preston for having a head light out. She didn’t get a ticket but the cop wanted to know how she liked her Honda Pilot.

Saturday I had a work part. We went to the Celebration center here in Logan to have some extreme go-carting competitions. I wasn’t the worst driver but I wasn’t the best. Theral did get into a few tight pinches here and there. We had fun. Later that evening we went over to one of my bosses houses and had a barbeque. He made some fish Tacos that were so good. He let me take the leftovers home. Score!!. Theral spent the evening talking to another teachers and I was educated in how my boss makes his homemade beer. It sounds really easy. Every person who has had his beer says it is extremely good. He is getting comparisons to European beer which is good.

Sunday we had the monthly Mikesell family diner at his sister Loveina’s house. Nothing too exciting happened. Lot’s of kids running around. I did get to see Swen and Stephanie’s latest addition to the family. Theral did pick out 36 ears of corn for people to eat. I still have half that amount that we get to eat (I think that he went overboard but I’m not going to say anything.) They did make comments about his hair.

Today at work has been the same. I’m getting ready for a meeting tomorrow and next week that I have. It will be what I work on for the next 6 to 8 months. Yippee.

I have been burning cd’s to work out to. I need to buy like fifty more dollars in Itunes music and wow life would be cool. Maybe I will do that come the first of October after I get paid.

The picture is just shot of my newphew Keagan, looking like a little kid.

Theral is Done with Harry Potter!!

During a marathon reading day for Theral, he finished Harry Potter. I am so happy. No more him getting mad at me because I'm talking to loud on the phone. He is have Harry let down because what will he do with his time (I’m currently reading his D-Day book which he is jealous about). I have a Theral-to-do-list. I hope that he can get it done.

Saturday when went to the last demolition derby of the season with Cousin D’Nell. I love it!! It had a heat of just trucks, the truck I was hoping to win got pushed over the berm. It had on its tail gate the quote “I’m bringing sexy back”. It wasn’t enough for it to win. The car that I like from the first heat won in the final bash’em up. Car 101! Theral got to indulge his redneck side and I enjoyed it so much that I think that I will try to go to some more of them next year. D’Nell was having anxiety at the First but she got over that and was able to cheer along with us. It was great fun.

We then when to the USU alumni hockey game to see our friend Clint play. We only got to watch the third quarter but man was it worth it to see Clint skate.
(For all those out their wondering who Clint is he is the person that introduced Theral and I. With out him I would not have my honey buns.)

In going back to the condo, D’Nell car had gotten booted. Theral is really worked up about this and had renewed his search to find us a house.

I made some tomatoes soup from scratch and froze it. This way I will have some quick easy meal on hand. I just need to vacuum pack them.

Website to see the raft in water!

The boat is follows a yellow raft. Theral is at the oars and we have a row the frame on. If you scroll to the bottom of the page you will see me in a duckie and geting worked over and thrown out.

Enjoy!!

A renewed commitment to posting on my Blog

To all who are about to read this you can’t be mad because I haven't sent the site to anyone yet.

I am recommitting to posting on my blog. I think that I will try to do it once a week. If I have a few free minutes at work, I will try to maybe do it more then once. On to the important stuff that is going on in T and L land are.......

Theral is reading the Harry Potter series and is in book 7. He has his little moments of frustration at the book that I find really funny and cute. But of course I know what is going to happen and when he comes up with a wrong theory, I just smile and encourage, but laughing secretly to myself about it. One of the more amusing parts is him just laughing at the characters in the book. I keep hearing him laugh while he is reading and it is really amusing to watch. (One of my pet peeves is he get mad about any spoilers that I talk about with people on the phone or in person so it is very good that he is getting close to the end!)

Today was hat day at Theral's High school. He took that hat that he is absoultly in love with and freaks out if anything happens to it to wear. I told him not to be upset in the children make fun of him. I will post a Pic of him in the hat. He looks good in it but I didn't think it was hat day material. Oh, ya..... Theral hasn't cut his hair in forever and I think it is totally sexy. This is the longest that he has ever had it in his life.

Theral commented to one of his co-workers (the assistant principal) that he was looking a little jaundice. He then goes home to his wife and says, "Mikesell said I looked a little jaundice." His wife who is a nurse agree and got him a appointment the next day. Turns out it was hepatitis A which he pick up while he was in Mexico this summer.

On to news of me. I got my blood work back this week. Everything looks fine except that my thyroid looks as if it might have started to die on me. I’m in the early phase of developing hypothyroidism. I’m on some meds and we will see how that turns out in around six weeks. I did realize that I don’t have blood taken from my body very well. I started to feel faint, dizzy, light headed and clammy and that is before they put the rubber band on my arm to make my veins pop out to get blood. But I was strong and persevered by not looking and practicing my yoga breathing.

Last weekend we went rafting in Jackson on the Snake. We went with some neighbor of ours, the Hills. It was fun. I love rafting. There are some photos on a website of us going through a rapid by a private company. I will post link to that later.
