I "won" a pay it forward blog post, but now have to do my part, so...
The first three people to respond to this post will get something made by me!
Made with tons of love just for you! It might be a fun sewing project, a sweet letter to you from me, or some yummy goodies, you might be surprised what you get! Give it a try!
The catch?
You must re -post this on your blog and offer the same to the first 5 people who do the same on your blog. The first 3 people to do so and leave a comment win a lovely little treat for themselves! Have Fun!
Ready........Set............Go!
PS - I really despised the movie "Pay it Forward". I hope that doesn't make me heartless or cold. It's just that Haley Joel Osmond really creeps me out. I hope he turns out OK.

Free Quiznos
If you know me, you know that I like things that are annoying and weird. Hence, the Quiznos commercial. I'm sad they haven't brought back these very talented rodents.
Right now, Quiznos is giving away subs, maybe in retribution for these commercials. Who knows...
You can get your free sub here.

Vacation!!!
I would love a vacation before I turn into the crocodile bag. Here are my top 3 places I'm dreaming about right now...1. Disneyland - always a favorite. I really want to take Luke to the Peter Pan Pool at the Disneyland Hotel. If I don't answer the phone tomorrow, you'll know I made a break for it and we're driving to LA.
2. Thailand - a recent obsession. We went out to dinner for Thai food with some friends, and they told us all about their trip to Thailand. Masman curry, pad thai, secluded beaches, and 3 cent fairy rides...Sounds amazing.
3. A cruise - I don't care where it goes. All I want to do is read, eat shrimp cocktail, and order room service. Travis and I were going to go on a cruise for our 5 year anniversary, but instead chose to do a 1/2 Ironman. I think I'd choose the cruise this time around.
*Have any other suggestions? I'm open. I know you bloggers out there are very well traveled, so throw out any of your favorite vacations. Travis and I are actually trying to take a REAL vacation this year.

Dear Ann Curry,
Dear Ann Curry,
I was amazed to discover that, in addition to being a broadcast journalist, you are also a baby whisperer. When I was watching Dateline NBC last night, and you stood up to speak for Nadya Suleman's children "who could not speak for themselves," I thought, "Wow." With a gift like that, you should expand into some sort of reality advice show where you communicate with other newborns. I am curious, what Nadya's babies said to you? "My mother is irresponsible and should not have produced me. The nerve of that woman! Who does she think she is?"
My 9 month old has recently begun been waking up & crying during the night. Could you speak for him and tell me what is wrong? Is he hungry, lonely, or just plain irritated at me? Your talent would really help me get some more sleep.
Sincerely, Heidi
PS- I am not necessarily endorsing having 14 kids as a single mom. Obviously Nadya Suleman has issues. That is an entirely different post, which I will never write, and frankly, no one cares what I think. But I do find it interesting that so many people who are pro-choice are also irate at her choice to have so many kids. So, does the "My body, my choice" only apply when disposing of a fetus?
PPS- I actually really do like Ann Curry, so if you still want to come over and chat, you are more than welcome to.

Winner
So, Miles is actually chilling out right now, so time to blog. I have so many good suggestions for blogging - I think I will take up everyone's suggestions, so no excuse for lack of blogging, right?
I decided to write about...
the crazy things Luke says. Winner, winner, chicken dinner for Whitney and Karen. It will also double up as a journal entry for Luke since I have been slacking. (And runner up is Kate, so many good ideas. Favorite things will be next, followed by an ode to my witty sister-in-law). Look for a fun mail day.
1. The other morning, he announced to me "I have a polka-dotted brain."
2. He was driving with Travis and said, "You know what, Dad? You are pretty lucky to have such a funny kid. And I am pretty lucky to have such a funny Dad. We're silly guys."
3. Luke has learned that whenever he has a problem, he can pray to Heavenly Father for help. He got a balloon, and let go of it in our living room. Since our ceilings are high, no one could get it down. He was so distraught, he went and sat on his bed, and between sobs was saying, "Heavenly Father, Heavenly Father, please help me. Please get my balloon down." He tried that for 5 minutes, then a pause. Then he started up again, "Ironman, Ironman, please help me. Please get my balloon down. Ironman can fly." Pretty good reasoning.
4. Luke gets married every Sunday to a shy little girl named Allie with cute purple glasses. When Allie got her glasses, her mom said she was afraid Luke wouldn't like them. But he does. He told her she looked beautiful. He calls her "My Allie."
5. Luke likes to perform stand up at the Post Office. Yesterday, there was a line of 15 people, one postal worker, and everyone was dead silent and cranky. He got up on a little bench and proceeded to show everyone all the various office supplies - "Here is some paper. This is tape. I like bubble wrap," etc. And then he said "And I have a MOM!" Somehow everyone was laughing, and he nodded his head like he found the best treasure in all the post office.
6. Luke likes to talk in his Yoda voice. "Mom, Master Yoda wants something to eat." "Use the forest" (aka the Force), and "Do or do not, there is no try."
7. Every time we go to Grandpa Phillip's house, he brings me the bouquet of fake red tulips and says, "You're beautiful."
PS - Matt, I can't remember all the excuses Luke gave for not being able to pick up his room. I think I just block it out. I'll have to be more observant next time.
