GROCERY SHOPPING FOR DUMMIES.... all in the name of love!

Since Landon is coming to visit I thought that this was the perfect time to show off my good future wife skills and plan meals the whole week while he is here... My excuse for never cooking right now is that there is only one of me and it is alot easier and cheaper to pop in a lean cuisine for 5 minutes. But it seems like it's part of the gentic makeup of women, that when a man is around (Especially one we like) we want to cook to woo him.... so I decided to roll with it. Here's my problem #1 I am not a cook. Growing up my mother, bless her heart, had like 10 recipes she would rotate and that is just what we ate, plus she hated cooking, so I never really learned to cook growing up. That, and it was only me her and my dad soo the meals were never that big. #2 I hate grocery shopping! absolutly with a passion I hate it. There are some women that are born cooking divas with a Grocery Store GPS in their heads, and have 10,000 recipies memorized, and that is not me. I was not hit with the cooking stick. I dont know where anything is so I end up looking like an Idiot making 20 rounds around the store(I wished I had on some ankel weights so I could have justified it as working out) instead of just going nicely down each isle. Usually I get panick attacks when I see all the food and make a b-line for what I need and get the hell out. So, in this case I decided to make a list and mosie right a long like I knew what I was doing.... yeah right. I spent 15 minutes going up and down the Asian. Mexican isle trying to find some Chow Mein noodles, and guess what... some retard decided to move the Asian isle and forgot to metion it to the sign hanging above, if I would have had a Grocery Store GPS I would have known that, but sadly I am an idiot shopper. However I am proud to say that after almost 2 hours in the store I did make it out with almost everything I needed, and that made me very proud, I WAS wishing they would have sold Prozacs at the checkout next to the gum, but I was okay. I left the store with a new appriciation of what it means to be and wife and mother and I'm feeling very underqualifed for the position. To top matters off I came home and put everything away and then realized I hadn't eatin anything yet, so I opened the fridge and my stomach fell when after $126.00 and two hours of shopping there was nothing in the fridge to eat. (everything I had bought was to make, and nothing was just a grab and go.) I love my life! On my drive home I did leave Landon a nice message letting him know that he is one lucky boy because I would never do that for anyone I didn't love.... story of my life, I cant do anything to normal way. Its just not me.

'I DESIRE' is the motto for Scorpio. You are intensely emotional and strongly aware of the darker side of human nature. You don't live on the surface of life, but experience it at its deepest levels.
You possess an iron will, a strong ego and a unique personal magnetism. You make a loyal friend and a passionate lover.
You're also intuitive, ambitious and have a penetrating mind. You have a burning need to uncover what is hidden, whether it's a mystery or someone else's innermost secrets. You're rarely who you appear to be on the outside and are not easy to get to know.
You also have a tendency to brood and to bear grudges and can be suspicious and vindictive.
You are the investigators of the zodiac.To an avarage Scorpio, love is an intensely passionate and enduring emotion that may be directed at one person only.

"CoCo, you need to get married!" Oh I love little kids.....

This last week I got to go to Idaho, and spend a couple days with my brother and his family, and my parents. (and Bianca) My Brother is living in Oklahoma right now, which means I don't get to see my nephews, and niece very often. But Janna (Scott's wife) had a sister that was getting married here in Utah so that meant I got a couple days of KIDS~! Which I love. But I have decided one thing, god better give me my kids one at a time because all four kids at once was more then my body, or brain could handle. I think that I am a pretty relaxed girl, not a lot gets to me, and I like to just sit and chill, but after just a couple days I was yearning for some alone time! I even opted out of going to Twin Falls with the family because I was too tired. Okay, now I sound like a baby but I forgot to mention I was just getting a cold, and had some other monthly dues being paid, so I might have been a little more social if I were feeling better. But moral is the story is... One kid at a time for me please. My little munchkins are really the cutest kids alive. We call them "The boys and Abby". I love how they have their own personalities and are just sooo funny. Taylor (8) aka: Tay-Tay and I bonded a lot on this trip. I think he was just using me as a pillow in the back of the van, but I called it bonding, so that's where it stands. Anyways he is soo smart! I cannot believe how much knowledge he retains and it's amazing to me the adult concepts that he already gets like the Atonement... (he totally explained it better than I could have!) I still remember when he called me up last year and when I asked what he had been learning in school he explained to me what an atom and a molecule were. He was 6 mind you!! smarty pants. Next come Andrew (6) aka Bear, and he came out of the womb talking. In fact I don't ever remember a time that he wasn't making me laugh. He is a ball of humor ( I think he gets it from me) and he will always say random things that always take me bit by surprise because they are soo adult and funny! I will say "Andrew are you sure you are only 6?" and he says "yeah Coco, I'm 6 going on 30!" he also is good at reminding me that I'm husband less and tells me he is going to throw money in a wishing well for me. Thanks Drew. Next is Caden (4) aka Vovi, and he is the cutest, stubbornest thing you will ever meet. If Caden doesnt want to do it then he wont, and he will say, "that's stupid, your stupid." haha cute little boy! He loves loves cars. anything cars, and has a set of puppy dog eyes that let him get away with anything. Last but not least is Abby Marie (2), who a maybe a little bit spoiled. We didn't know if we were ever going to get her because after three boys, Janna thought she was never going to get a girl, but she finally came! Abby's nickname is dolly because she looks just like one. She is just sooo cute and petite. and she is talking now.. so i said,"Abby say I love Coco." and she says, "I love Toto!" ahhh... I love it! She has daddy wrapped around her finger and just has to look at him and say "Daddy" and she gets whats she wants. I explained to her that that is all she has to do for the rest of her life, and I help her perfect the art a bit. She's a good student. So yeah it was a good weekend, but my dang camera battery died so I got no pictures, which made me a little mad!! oh well.... I'll post some old ones. x0Xo...

Look A-Like?

So, I stole this idea from Ashley, but i think she borrowed the idea from another friend, so it's justified... Here's are my Celebrity Look-Alikes.... The one I get the most is Drew Barrymore. I've gotten this look a like for years, and I think we have resemblences... she is beutiful so I will keep accepting this compliment!... Catherine Zeta Jones is another beautiful lady that i've been told I look like... I'll take that one too! Now here's where it gets interesting... I dont think I looke like Katie Holmes or Madonna, but I have been told. With Katie I think it's the hair, and with Madonna they told me it was just through the eyes! haha I dont know I will let you be the judge!... enjoy!

Im not a cat lady... not yet anyways....

So since I moved from my ghetto apartment in the hood to a nice house with Erika in the Avenues, I had to let Bianca go and stay and Grandma and Grandpa's house for awhile, and I miss her terribly! There is nothing better then having something to cuddle with at night, and now I am all alone in my big queen bed! (I know, I need a man... I'm aware) Anyways-- She is a spolied little girl who knows she's cute and uses it to her full avantage!-- Infact she probably thinks her name is naughty because thats what she gets called more then Bianca. -- So, although it pains me, I am doing the responsible thing and Biance is getting spayed today. (poor baby) But she's just too pretty, and I know if we dont get this done those bad Tom Cats will leave us with orphan babies, which i wont be able to give away. Idealy I am going to give myself at least 6 more good years of husband searching before I become the owner of many cats. alrighty here's some pictures of the cutest little girl ever!...
