The Adventures of Jane, Marley and Cat

OK, this may not look better, but it is.  I think I startled the Relief Society on Sunday when I prayed for a “cleansing wind.”  But hey, I’m sick of the smog!

However, next week we are back in the pattern, and the week after that I don’t care because Julia and I will be in HAWAII!!!! Of course I am so retarded that I waited too long so we arrive on different flights.

Also.. news on the car front.  It looks like this baby may be mine within a few days!

Oh sweet cargasm!  Come to me! (For those keeping score at home this is a 2000 Lexus GS300!)

It’s going to be a good year.

A marvelous woo weekend! Yeah for my Woo Friends! Let’s hear it for Girls’ Night Sleepovers!

Friday night was a Beading Night at Jan’s with dear, dear friends. We talked, we laughed, we ate yummy food, drank Diet Coke and stayed up late.

We learned that the “Stone for 2007″ is Tiger Eye, because this is a year of MANIFESTATION!  So, let’s get manifesting!  Of course, that means you have to be really clear about what you want, or you will manifest your fears and your negative thoughts as well.

Saturday I stayed at Jan’s in my jammies all day making more jewelry for her business.  People would drop in periodically, we’d eat and drink yummy things, and around 6:00 I headed home (still in my jammies).

Yesterday was a great day at church and I had a “PROUD MOTHER” moment when Julia taught Relief Society.  She is just the cutest thing, and everyone is in love with her.  The spirit she brings is so light and pure.

My Poodle Boy came home briefly between working in Wyoming (he heads out again tomorrow)  It was good to see him after two weeks.  He is taking a term off of school and will return to finish the 4th term.  He is still on track to graduate early next year.

The requisite Sunday Nap was followed by much puttering and cleaning and all in all it was a very good day, and a most excellent weekend!

And I have to add that I am FINALLY back to 100% after the accident.  Now, if we could just get the air cleaned out, I wouldn’t feel like I have to take a shower every 5 minutes. (Salt Lake air quality FIVE times worse than Los Angeles!)

I’m done with January, the weather, winter. I want out. I have taken to PRAYING that the weather will change. We are now on day 12 of an inversion, and for those of you not familiar with the term inversion, it looks like this:

When I lived in LA we called it “smog”. It happens when we get caught in a high pressure, and the cold, dirty hair is literally trapped in the valley.

But hey, the people at the Sundance Film Festival are enjoying almost 50° weather in the mountains!

My eyes are red and sore, my lungs are hurting, my sinuses are filled with enough hazardous material to call in a HazMat Team, and I want this to be done.

This is our morning sunrise in Provo. You can barely see the mountains.

When the weather gets like this it just feels yucky. All we need is a storm to blow it all away, and as you can see from the forecast that isn’t happening any time soon.

So, please send all your love, and wind, and weather good thoughts this way.

Oh, and here is a picture of the cute MINIVAN I am driving, thanks to Nat and Rich in my ward. Please buy it from them. Kjarsti is such a butt, everytime we get in it she says, “Oh my gosh! I feel like signing up for soccer!”
