Case closed


This is why I love that boy of mine.
As I lay here in bed contemplating my untimely demise,
my dear husband arrives home from work.
He made a special stop on the way and picked up a very fuzzy red bathrobe he saw me eyeing, (ok, really I was pawing) at walmart for me to suffer and die in.
Or to get better in.
I Love my Jake!

Case of the Hypochondriac

I came home from school early today because I lost my voice. I consulted the charts in our "family medical guide" that Jake bought at an estate sale and according to it, I either have a cold, strep throat, laryngitits, tuberculosis, or a tumor in my throat.
I'll play it safe and say that it is either of the last two.
In that case, I am prepared to die, I just have a few goodbyes and plans to set in motion.
Here is a list of my demands:
First off, ABSOLUTELY no primary songs at the funeral.
I require at least 8 varieties of funeral potatoes, and a sampler of assorted chocolate cakes to be served at the luncheon.
Every one who comes to the funeral has to bring something to eat, like one big, sad potluck.
No pink shall be worn, even on little girl babies. Yellow may be acceptable. Check with me on the outfit before you put em in it.
I would like to be buried with my favorite pillow, you know, the squishy one in the green pillowcase.
Finally, everyone has to be nice to Jake. I'm sure he will be really stressed out.

As for goodbyes, I would like to recognize my grumpy cat one last time. Cleo, I may have fancied Taylor's cat Hector at one time or another, but honestly, I've always been on your side. Thanks for the fluffity puffity times.
Also, my ipod. I don't know what I would have done without you all those times I wanted to keep listening to my audiobook but had to go some where and could just discreetly cart you along.
Finally, my nieghbor, I'm not sure which one, who has the car alarm that goes off every night. I won't miss you very much.

Well, I'm glad I got this one last blog in before I went. I really think the nyquil is starting to kick in.

IF, almost here!


Jake and I went up to Idaho Falls a few weekends ago and found ourselves a hole to camp out in.
It's actually a great tiny little apartment near the temple with hardwood floors and a big kitchen.
I have gone a little crazy in my search for the perfect curtains, and can't wait to move in.
We are heading up there December 1st, just in time to start decorating for Christmas.
Unfortunately, Jake says I can't have my starter puppy yet, but in the meantime, we are checking out some really great pet rocks.

Halloween was so much fun! At school I dressed up as Hermione, poofy hair and all. My favorite part of the whole day was my group of male students who dressed as Disney Princesses all being in my class at the same time. (Jasmine was a little disturbing)
We also drove up to Soda Springs and spent the night at Jake's sisters cute new house and had mummy hotdogs--almost like pigs in a blanket but with a breadstick wrapped around a hotdog and mustard dot eyes instead. Jake's sister Jodi and her Husband Dallin only live about an hour and a half away from our new digs, so we are way excited to spend more time with them and their Schnoodle Alfonzo (Half Shitzu half poodle).

A few weekends before that, Jake's entire family came down from Idaho for his cousin's wedding. The day before we all went to frightmares, and I managed to talk Jake into wearing matching orange sweaters with me. It was so fun.

To sum it all up, I am having a great time being a Zollinger.
Life is good and only getting better!
