Guilty Pleasure - Stuffed Crust Pizza

Sometimes I just get a hankering for some stuffed crust pizza... like right now. Often I don't indulge... like right now. But about a month ago, Justin, Jill and I were watching a few episodes of The Office and, if you have ever watched The Office, you would know that they eat pizza quite a bit. While watching one pizza-eating episode, (I think it must have been just after midnight) I commented on how yummy it looked and how I would like to be eating my own piece of pizza... Justin and Jill responded enthusiastically and wouldn't you know it, about a half hour later we were eating of own pieces... my favorite topping combination consists of pineapple, green peppers and mushrooms with a nice hot wing/ranch dipping sauce. Oh yeah, babe...

Bits & Pieces

• I like the meaning, look, sound and spelling of pedagogy

• Only one month, one week and one day left to blog. Should I keep going for another 365 days? Should I try 52 weeks of Jenn? Maybe just blog when I want to? It's become somewhat of a habit, but can I continue to entertain?

• I cannot wait to finish the 3rd book of the Hunger Games

• This is Justin's 3-day weekend and I only have to work a 1/2 day of school tomorrow - yes! I am pretty excited about our plans to 4-wheel with the in-laws and some golf with my sweetie on Sunday

• My job can be so challenging at times, but I still love to wake up in the mornings and go

• Full moon tonight... WAIT A MINUTE! Kids are a challenge, job is a challenge, marriage is a challenge + Full Moon = teary, frustrated, angry, bloated, tired, anxious Jenn. Phew, it's not MY FAULT!
  

Aunt Bessie

Holding Jace - 2008

Bessie celebrated her 90th birthday this month. She is my dad's sister and the oldest of 13 children (dad, a twin is #12).

Bessie lived in Petersboro (just off the highway) on a farm and I remember visiting her house when we would come for our yearly summer visits. I remember looking at all the pictures of family that hung on her walls and filled her curio cabinets. I also remember her offering my brother and I licorice treats from a gaudy crystal bowl and how I thought that was just the coolest thing and couldn't wait to grow up and get one of my own. Since I moved to Logan, I have had the pleasure of running into her in random places at random times. She always knows who I am and asks about my mom, dad, and brother. It is always nice to see her...

I am a little bummed that I missed her birthday party, but I wanted everyone to know what a beautiful, special aunt I have.

To read or to blog?

Well, I can't put the 2nd book down either. Sorry, but I am choosing to read!

Book Review - The Hunger Games

I snagged this book out of our school library on Friday. This morning I returned it and snagged the second book with the hope of getting to the third and final book by the weekend... Yes, it's an easy read and you just keep turning the pages because the story is so interesting. I would recommend it.

Beans & Wieners

OVER BEANS & WIENERS

Jace was looking over Jill's shoulder tonight while she was browsing the web. This picture came up and he says, "Look, a spider monkey!"

Fall on the River

This tournament is one of my favorites for many reasons:

1. The tournament is for Juvenile Diabetes and is named after Dax J. Olsen, the son of a wonderful couple we know. He had diabetes and lost his life a few years ago in a scooter accident.
2. It's in the fall and pretty much ends the golf season with a bang.
3. I get to play this tournament with my favorite people, my hubby and Jason & Leslee.
4. Great tee prizes - this year we each got a pair of Foot Joy golf shoes and a Live Lucky hat/visor.
5. Nice lunch before and a yummy dinner afterward.

This year the weather was perfect and Justin and I both hit the "jackpot" on a couple of holes. I won $500 worth of tires from Les Schwab on hole #3 and Justin took home a nice pull cart on hole #15.
