Things that raised our eyebrows this year ....12/16/08
Conversations of note in 2008:
www.ebay.com
I have been on the brink of the decision not to send a Christmas card this year rationalizing it with the thought that my blog has given people more than enough of us. I would save paper, stamps, time, effort, etc....just go green all around. I am a little self-conscious due to the fact that I have heard from several people how much they hate family letters. Then I remembered the people in my life who never read my blog. I specifically remembered an elderly woman from my mission in Iowa who lives in bucocal farm house, who I know will be eagerly anticipating her Christmas cards, who will carefully place them on her chipping mantle, and may read them more than once. I knew I had to do it.Judd Family 2008Proposed House Legislation That Has Absolutely No Chance of PassingI. PROPOSITION 125 authored by Corey Judd (old) Proposal to limit stuffed animals in the house to 125. This equates to approximately 41.333 stuffed animals per child. Any additional fake animals found on the premises will be considered a threat to family space and consequentially confiscated. Any family member who feels the overwhelming inclination to acquire another stuffed animal is urged to step outside the premises and play with the REAL animals (i.e. deer, frogs, coyotes, bark beetles, chipmunks, ticks, porcupines, and the left and right winged owls.) that frequent our 10 acres. Their will be no limits, however, on biking gear or ski paraphernalia. Opposition submitted by Savanna: We would not need so many stuffed animals if Founding Parents would only allow us ownership of even one furry pet. Furthermore, there is convincing evidence that if Founding Father would just strap a stuffed animal to his handlebars while riding to work, he would be just as enamored with it as we are. II. INITIATIVE ANTI-CACAO: SEPARATION OF SCHOOL AND CHOCOLATE authored by Ansel (almost 5)Chocolate is a blatant attack on personal happiness and well-being. Members shall not attend preschool if chocolate is going to be served as a snack. Constituents are free to spit out any chocolate accidentally ingested at any time and in any location. In 1982, only 10% of Halloween Candy consisted of chocolate. Today, the percentage has risen to 86%. This is an alarming statistic. If the distribution of chocolate is not curbed and eschewed, chocolate will be widely accepted as a breakfast entrée and the next thing you know, we will be kicking balls of chocolate in soccer classes. Opposition submitted by Vanessa: You can never have too much chocolate and I already accept it as a breakfast entrée. III. REFERENDUM ROTE GRINDWORK authored by Savanna Judd (almost 11)The existing legislation in place that requires residing students to complete homework in a timely manner shall be overturned and amended to state that homework is OPTIONAL IF residing student is writing a medieval novel. Residing students lose precious writing time at piano lessons, Spanish class, swimming lessons and other various mandatory family outings. School work that is returned with LATE marks shall be overlooked and/or praised for being completed.Opposition submitted by Corey: Lateness will never be accepted. In fact, I am working on submitting legislation that will require schoolwork to be completed before it is even handed out. IV. PLEBISCITE INCOGREADO authored by Emmy (almost 9)Passage of this would make it perfectly acceptable to hide in the corner of bedrooms whilst reading. This law will also allow for unlimited nonresponse to any solicitations or requests for revealing one’s location. Reading a book shall be an activity that is equated with not actually being present in the home. Opposition submitted by Ansel: The Drafters and Framers of our new home included more than enough living space. There is no reason to be smashing oneself in crevices. We should be running freely through the home, jumping on beds, and sliding down banisters.V. BALLOT MEASURE 12-1 authored by Vanessa (older)It is the intent of the Founding Mother of this Union to uphold Freedom of Expression through the medium of SONG. This right has been thwarted, booed, and even forcibly squelched by little hands over mouth. The ratio of time spent chauffeuring, cooking, cleaning, folding laundry, helping with homework, packing lunches, nagging, etc. to time allotted for ditty singing shall be 12 to 1. For example, for every hour of nurturing and protecting, Founding mother is granted 5 minutes of uncensored harmonics.Opposition submitted by Emmy: This ballot question would be considered if Founding Mother could sing the correct words to even one song.

"Wow, look at your blonde hair! Hitler would have loved you!!"
Me: "Um, Thanks?"
Ansel:
"Mom, when you are grumpy, you should just sit down and eat."

its a time for change...1/19/09
Right now, I can't seem to manage more thanI like to change the template on my blog. It is extremely easy and sometimes makes me feel new and reorganized. I'm not into anything fancy or flourished. I never have a problem with the current template. I just crave something different.....all the time.
I wish it was as easy to change the template on my house. Yeah, I know it is less than a year old. Shouldn't I be happy with it for at least 5 years?
For the record, I was never happy with the color of my bedroom. Our builder did a fabulous job in so many ways........BUT......he forced us to commit to the colors of our house based on a 1 inch by 2 inch sample. In fact, when it was first painted, I couldn't even look at it without wanting to puke. I feel strongly about having my bedroom be a non-vomit inducing environment. It was just so NOT what I had envisioned. I was disgusted with myself for letting the color of a few rooms in my new beautiful home (Master bed and bath and office) dampen my spirits so greatly.
If I don’t have "What next?" lined up, daily living lulls me into loss of inertia.If I want to get anything done today or tomorrow, I need to have a reprieve from the monotony in mind.. like a carrot dangling just so far in front of me.
I subscribe to the notion that it is important to live in the now and that a currency mindset can bring happiness (not currency as in money, but currency as in loving what is currently in your life)
I frequently become plagued....usually in the middle of winter when the snow is dirtier than the dirt, I’ve been too weighed down by the now to actually live in it. dishes, and cleaning.
But with a change or vacation planned out, I look at today with enthusiasm and can actually get through the routine in contentment.
An analysis of a mental model reveals that reorganization only results in a quick-fix remedy and its effects may not last overtime which leads to less stability
it doesn't look so bad here, does it? I can't quite capture the minty green nauseating hue...just think of a bridesmaid gown in the 80's. Kind of like that.

The new Egyptian Nile green. This should keep me happy for at least another 10 months.
